fractured his hip while repairing the exterior
of his home. He has a wife and two grown chil-
dren. His son, age 42, is mentally challenged
and lives at home with the couple. His wife
tells you she is apprehensive about having
to care for two people now. When the nurse
comes into Mr. Logan’s room to perform AM
care, he says, “Go away and leave me alone.
I’m a grown man; I can take care of myself.
And get rid of this tray. I’m not hungry!”
