Prioritizing self-care, and, more importantly, implementing it into your everyday life is crucial for a successful and happy lifestyle.   Physical I practice physical self-care by eating healthy / taking care of my body, receiving regular medical care, exercising, getting massages to help relieve stress, taking some ‘me’ time, and getting enough sleep.

MAKE A DECISION: What do you think is the best course of action for Cory, his parents, and the school? a. Cory will always have social challenges. He should be encouraged to participate in social skills training, but realize he will have to learn to live within the constraints of his disability. b. Cory would benefit from some extra assistance such as social skills training either individually or in a group. He should also be provided with at least a part-time aide who can guide him with social interactions. c. Cory should probably be completely removed from mainstream programs temporarily until he can learn the social skills he needs to function in a general setting. d.

Think about the issues that influenced your recommendation for Cory. Why did you choose the option that you did? Consider the following…

Your patient, an elderly woman who rarely has visitors, has put on her call light so that she might introduce you to her daughter. After introductions, the patient indicates that her daughter visits whenever possible, as she is frequently traveling.
