Engagement

When Angel was involved in an accident, there is a possibility that she might have suffered

a bipolar problem which has made her experience mood changes which affect her behavior in the

daily life (Langlois et al 2006). A brain injury can change the way people feel and how they can

express their emotions. This condition can create several types of emotional problems which can

be manifested in the person is engaged to different circumstances. For example in the case of

Angela, it is clearly seem when she is engaged in given to perform house chores, expressing

herself, decision making or subjected to thinking, when engaged in an argument and when engaged

in outdoor activities.

Assessment

When an assessment is doe on Angels life, it can be notices that then accident that she was

involved in might have caused a serious brain problem. This makes her to have mood changes and

her emotions change quite easily (Langlois et al 2006). Some of the possible reasons why she

behaves the way she does include; first that the part of the brain that controls emotions and

behavior might have been damaged or tempered with. The second possibility from the assessment

is that the body have sudden emotion response of which the cause of it has not yet been established.

This behavior makes the family het worried because the person seems to be upset suddenly and

yet nothing might have done anything to her (Langlois et al 2006). The third reason is that some

part of the brain damaged may cause sudden scenarios for crying or laughing. This explains the

reason why Angel get upset very fast and she does not want to take up duties at home. This as well

explains why she wants to be alone every time to the extent she wants to stop schooling.

CASE 3

Intervention

Such an incident is always unfortunate for the family and the person who is suffering from

the condition (Langlois et al 2006). However there is something that can be done to intervene for

the situation. First is that the healing for this condition takes time and what needs to be done is to

help the person stay in an environment that help in returning normal emotional balance and

expression. Secondly, the person can be taken to a psychologist who will help in treating the person

so as they will be able to control emotions (Langlois et al 2006). Thirdly, the family members can

be taken through counselling so that they can cope with the situation and help the affected person

recover faster. Lastly, the person can be taken through series of medication from a physician who

deals with emotional problems caused by brain injury.

Evaluation

Then patents and the physician should be keen always to evaluate the behavior of Angela

after a certain period. This will help in assessing whether she is improving or not (Langlois et al

2006). Since she will be subjected to various tests and conditions that will help her improve and

overcome her challenges. Since she will be taken to particular school, it will be easier to evaluate

the progress in her improvements. Some of the areas where she will be evaluated include her

reaction on outdoor activities, her interactions with others, her reaction to the instructions given

and her mood fluctuations when she gets angry (Langlois et al 2006).

Termination

After Angela is taken through the medication process, assessment will give the results of the steps

that needs to be taken. If the results will show a positive response to medication, she will then be

allowed to complete the medication and then the medication will be terminated (Langlois et al

2006). If the response is not positive, the she will then be allowed to continue under the same

medication for a while.

Follow up

The parents and the family members will ensure that hey closely watch the behavior of Angela so

that they will be able to assess the improvements with time. The family will help in remaining

calm, giving good environment, give the person some work to engage in (Langlois et al 2006),

allow them to express their feeling and provide her with opportunity to interact with others. This

will help in ensuring that the person gets healed quickly and that all the requirements recommended

by the physician is followed well.
