Question

You are working as a home care nursing in Vancouver, BC. Your colleague, Sarah is about to go on maternity leave and you will be taking over the management of her cases. Sarah lets you know that she is most concerned about her client Jennifer McPherson, a 37-year-old woman who was diagnosed with ALS in 2020. After being hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia last month, Jennifer had a J-tube inserted and is now home again with her family: a husband and two young daughters. But things aren't going well. Her doctor has let her know that, in the near future, she will likely need a tracheostomy in preparation for mechanical ventilation as her diaphragm weakens. Jennifer was very upset by this news. On Sarah's last visit, Jennifer told her she didn't know if she wanted to live on a ventilator. You start to make a plan for how you will support Jennifer and her family through this difficult time.
