Consider this scenario: A family has contacted you about the care of their grandfather, Juan, who has Alzheimers 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 functional behavior assessment but advised setting limits, being consistent with rules, and blocking Juan from engaging in problem behavior. The nursing home staff decided to incorporate these strategies by restricting 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. Juans behaviors escalated and they have stated they will be ordering the use of chemical restraints to block occurrences of the problem behavior.
For this assignment, complete the following:
Consider Bailey and Burch’s (2016) risk-benefit analysis model. Recreate and use this worksheet to outline the risks and benefits of a behavior analytic procedure (remember chemical restraints are not behavior analytic).
Prepare a formal letter to the family with your recommendations. Include a copy of the worksheet you used with your notes to conduct the risk-benefit analysis.
Analyze, within the letter, at least five BACB ethical code elements that are relevant to your discussed behavior analytic procedure and this scenario, ensure you include the code #.
Resources: 4 recent, scholarly or professional resources.
For resources, for 2 of them, utilize the ones provided in the template attached (word document), one is Bailey & Burch and the other one is the BACB ethics code.
Other recommended sources (can use any of them for the other 2 resources)
