CASE STUDY of Josh

Traumatic brain injury usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. An object that goes through
brain tissue, such as a bullet or shattered piece of skull, also can cause traumatic brain injury.Traumatic brain injury
usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. An object that goes through brain tissue, such as a

Case Description: This case study focuses on Josh, a 21 year old woman. Josh has been diagnosed with TBI and
has experienced difficulties managing his time, prioritizing tasks, and maintaining focus in his current role.

Analysis: TBI often presents challenges with executive functions, including no loss of consciousness, but a state of
being dazed, confused or disoriented, memory or concentration problems, mood changes or mood swings, feeling
depressed or anxious and difficulty sleeping

Solutions and Recommendations

1. Medications can help treat symptoms of TBI and lower the risk of some conditions associated with it. Some
medications are useful immediately after a TBI, while others treat symptoms and problems related to recovery from
TBI some time after the initial injury. These medications may include:

 Anti-anxiety medication to lessen feelings of nervousness and fear


 Antidepressants to treat symptoms of depression and mood instability, also called mood swings
 Diuretics to help remove fluid that can increase pressure inside the brain1
 Muscle relaxants to reduce muscle spasms and to relax constricted muscles
 Stimulants to increase alertness and attention

2. Therapies can help people with TBI recover functions, relearn skills, and find new ways to do things that take
their new health status into account. Rehabilitation can include several different kinds of therapy for physical,
emotional, and cognitive difficulties and for a variety of activities, such as daily self-care, driving, and interacting
with others. Depending on the injury, these treatments may be needed only briefly after the injury, occasionally
throughout a person’s life, or on an ongoing basis.

Therapy usually begins in the hospital and can continue in a number of places, including rehabilitation hospitals,
skilled nursing facilities, homes, schools, and outpatient programs. Rehabilitation generally involves a number of
healthcare specialists, the person’s family, and someone who manages the team.6 They often work together to
design a treatment program to meet a person’s specific needs and to improve his or her abilities to function at home
and in the community.
