She is ambulatory with an unsteady gait and can perform self-care with step-by-step coaching. Her daughter would like her transferred to a long-term care geropsychiatric unit.

Five days ago she was admitted for suicidal gesture after self-infliction of cuts to the posterior forearm. She is extremely flirtatious with all males. She can independently perform all activities of daily living (ADLs), but will dress in an excessively provocative manner.
Mr. D, a 58-year old man, has a long history of major depression. He appears lethargic and disinterested in the environment or others.
