Question Jennifer Williams is a 43-year-old recently divorced female who has two teenage daughters aged 18 and  16 years. Her 16-year old daughter is 7 months pregnant. Jennifer’s ex-husband is an alcoholic and is involved with her daughters but cannot be relied on for financial assistance. She lives in an older home in a low-income neighborhood. Her aging and widowed mother, who lives a few blocks away, is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and needs regular assistance. Ms. Williams is the main caregiver for her mother. She is employed full-time as an office assistant and regularly has difficulty making ends meet financially. A number of recent events have been challenging for Jennifer. Her pregnant daughter recently broke up with her boyfriend and Jennifer knows she will be largely supporting and raising her grandchild. She also recently had an intense argument with her oldest daughter about attending college—something she supports but can’t afford. In addition to all of these issues, Jennifer’s mother fell and broke her arm. She is now trying to meet the increasing care her mother needs. All these events have been weighing heavily on Jennifer’s mind. She is feeling highly anxious and is experiencing difficulty sleeping. She has had intermittent diarrhea and has become highly irritable, leading to arguments at work with her coworkers. Jennifer also began experiencing headaches. Fearing she had something seriously wrong with her, she went to an urgent care clinic. After a brief visit focusing on her headache, she was told not to worry because she was “only experiencing a tension headache” and was a little hypertensive, and she was advised to see her primary care physician. Jennifer was relieved to learn she did not have a brain tumor, but she has no intention of seeing another physician for the headaches. She does not want to spend any more money on herself. Case Analysis Template: Select your case and use this format to analyze the important Concepts you identify. Remember, there are likely more than 3, but use 3 as your maximum. 1.)
