In chapter 1.4 one gets to learn back about the effectiveness of health related decisions. Looking back I believe that the decision was a good choice. They get to spend as much time with their grandfather before his conditions get worse, even if they are struggling from keeping him out of trouble. They get to make as many memories as they can with him and appreciate just being able to spend time with him as well.

Like I mentioned before, an alternative is sending him to a nursing home. A short term impact to her family would be that they wouldn’t have to worry about her grandfather doing something out of the ordinary, and watching him all the time. Also they could go back to living the life they were living before they took him in. However, a long term impact would be that her grandfather may forget who they are and they might regret not spending as much time as possible with him.

A short term impact is trying to adjust to how her grandfather acts due to his conditions. A long term impact is changing sleep hours so her grandfather isn’t left by himself at night. Also making sure he is being watched 24/7.

Last year my best friend from birth’s grandfather was diagnosed with dementia. He lived in California and throughout the year his dementia progressively got worse. Therefore, my parents and her parents sat down and discussed whether or not to put him in a nursing home or have him flown out to Ohio to be taken care of by his daughter. This was an example of collaborative decision making because it involved “many members” such as my parents and my friend’s parents (6). Furthermore, it involved “ many views and many approaches” because each adult discussed the pros and cons to the problems (6). However, there were some disagreements which made the “decision-making very time consuming (6).
