Consider this scenario: A family has contacted you about the care of their grandfather, Juan, who has Alzheimer’s disease. The nursing home staff report that Juan engages in frequent elopement from the nursing home facility when unattended, and verbal aggression that has caused disruptions to the other nursing home residents. A review of the files shows that the nursing home contracted with a BCaBA who did not conduct a <\/span>functional behavior assessment<\/em> <\/span>but <\/span>advised<\/em> <\/span>setting limits, being consistent with rules, and blocking Juan from engaging in problem behavior. The nursing home staff decided to incorporate these strategies by <\/span>restricting<\/em> <\/span>Juan from accessing the courtyard or roaming the halls, leaving him to stay all day in his room with only accompanied walks to therapies and the dining hall. Juan’s behaviors escalated and they have stated they will be ordering the use of chemical restraints to block occurrences of the problem behavior.<\/p>\n For this assignment, complete the following:<\/p>\n Your assignment should meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n Refer to the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Research Guide<\/a> for help finding resources.<\/p>\n Refer to the Risk-Benefit Analysis of a Controversial Intervention Scoring Guide to ensure you understand the grading criteria for this assignment.<\/p>\n Bailey, J.
