Are there any items in the list that are not within the scope of the agencyís mission?
Alice Singletary, a novice social worker with Magnolia Hospice in Alexandria, Louisiana, met June Plunket, who had terminal cancer, and her daughter, Polly, for an admission interview. June was in quite a bit of pain and trying to cope with dying. Polly blamed Dr. Dubuis and herself for her mother’s approaching death, and was also angry with her brother, who had distanced himself from the family. June and Polly lived in a chaotic and overcrowded household with Polly’s daughter, Jenna, and Jenna’s two young children. While assessing June’s situation, Alice identified a multitude of family problems which had to be balanced with the mission of the hospice. In this situation, Alice was not sure where to begin.
Alice is feeling overwhelmed as she leaves the home. Considering the mission of the agency may keep her from being distracted or side-tracked by items that she may recognize as concerns, but that she is not in a position to address. For example, Alice my have ideas about empowering Jenna to develop better parenting skills, or developing job skills and employment possibilities with Jenna and Polly. While these may be concerns for some social workers, these do not fall within the scope of Magnolia Hospice.
