4 Outline What is decisional capacity? What should you be looking for to gain insight into a client s capacity? What is clinical neuropsychology? What can you do to compensate for loss?
5 What is decisional capacity? Do not reproduce without permission: Joanne Hamilton, PhD
6 Decisional Capacity Possession of a set of values and goals The ability to communicate and to understand information The ability to reason and to deliberate about one s choices Appreciate foreseeable consequences of the decisions Jonsen, Veatch, & Walters, 1998
7 Competency v. Capacity Competency a legal term signifying the allor-none capability to care for oneself. Capacity Situation-specific determination of the ability to make decisions about one s welfare.
8 Capacity for what? Capacity is specific to a given situation A client might have the capacity to make some decisions but not others Capacity is changeable A client may lack decisional capacity due to delirium today but regain capacity when delirium resolves
9 Decisional capacity is not determined by the degree of agreement with healthcare providers or family Do not reproduce without permission: Joanne Hamilton, PhD

15 What is neuropsychology? The study of cognitive and behavioral changes in people with brain disorders
16 What is a neuropsychological evaluation? A comprehensive assessment of cognitive and behavioral functions using a set of standardized tests and procedures.

19 Strategies for working with people who are cognitively impaired Do not reproduce without permission: Joanne Hamilton, PhD
20 Communication Do NOT speak to individual like a child Do speak in short, simple sentences Organize instructions without providing unnecessary detail Allow enough time for individual to respond
21 Memory Reduce distractions and noise Make sure that you have the client s attention Ask for a family member to attend meetings Put it in writing Provide only necessary information
22 Appointments Schedule appointments during the client s best time of day Wait until the day of to tell client about the appointment Break complex activities into smaller steps Watch for frustration and then distract
23 Decision-Making Ask yes/no questions rather than openended questions Limit the number of options Do NOT rush or pressure individual Allow the client ample time to consult with trusted advisors If possible, skip decisions that worry client
24 Summary Decisional capacity is a fluid concept Reduced decisional capacity is not always obvious Formal assessment can identify limitations in decisional capacity to help plan for and manage the client s well-being
