D: okay, two days ago I fell after taking my shower. Also, a while ago I fell while getting out of bed.		I think the fall in the shower might be due to the lack of a grab bar in the shower.
A: Do you leave your night light on or how often do you clean up your room?	Sustaining Social learning theory	I am trying to find out if the cause of the fall is a vision problem or clutter in the room.	I am curious about her living conditions.
D: I try to save the electricity bills as much as possible, so I keep it turned off. I clean up my room once or twice a week since I experience extreme fatigue and pain in my muscles.	Rational Choice theory.	I think that her condition of extreme fatigue and muscle pain is due to lack of treatment.

D: No, it has been difficult because I don't know-how.			She looks desperate and troubled.
A: Don’t worry, everything will be alright. We will help you in applying for them. Also, would you try opening the curtains in the morning and arranging your stuff around your room and see if it helps with your falls. We’ll come back next week on Tuesday to check on the progress.	Encourage Homework Social Exchange theory	I think opening the curtains and cleaning her room regularly can help reduce her chances of falling.

Student Self-Assessment:

I started to find out the cause of her several falls. Therefore, I assessed her home living conditions. I found out that she mostly falls after taking the shower and while getting out of her bed. Thus, I thought the issue could have been a result of poor lighting and lack of grabs in the shower. Additionally, she was disorganized, which could have contributed to her falls. She complains that she cannot tidy up her room a lot because she has muscle pain and fatigue. Therefore, I was concerned about her course of treatment. I assessed her application for Medicaid and SSDI. She has a low income and she is always worried about her bills. Additionally, she has been unable to apply for Medicaid and SSDI. I hope she receives more guidance on how she can go about applying for Medicaid and SSDI since she has a low income.

Plan for next Interview: Talk to her case manager to adopt cautionary measures such as fitting grabs in her shower to prevent falls. Additionally, look at how she can apply for Medicaid and SSDI.
