Mrs. Owens is the 81-year-old mother of Jonathan, who is 54 years old. Jonathan has had schizophrenia since he was 16 years old. Which of Mrs. Owens’s concerns is likely to predominate?
A.
“Will my retirement funds outlast me?”
B.
“Who will handle my funeral arrangements?”
C.
“What will become of Jonathan when I am gone?”
D.
“How can I get Jonathan’s physician to talk to me?”
The mother’s most prominent concern is likely to be what becomes of her son after she dies. Choice 1 is important but is not likely to be her most prominent concern. Choice 2 is also not likely to be her primary concern because the welfare of her son with schizophrenia is more important. Choice 4 is incorrect because Mrs. Owens has likely confronted and handled concerns about getting the physician to talk to her after 38 years of managing her son’s care.Psychosocial Integrity
