Assessment dataTin Man
In the film, The Wizard of Oz, the client appears pale and rusty. His skin colour is greyish. He is alert and oriented. After being rained on, his joints became stuck from rust, and stiff due to prolonged immobility. He says he cannot move since he got rusted long time while cutting trees with axe. His voice was muffled until his mouth was lubricated. He is bald. He walks stiffly since there is limited joint movement. His was in an upright position. However, he felt better after oil was used to mobilize these joints. According to this client, he states that he has a problem since he does not have a heart. That is why when his chest is banged, it echoes inside. He believes that once he gets a heart, he will be able to act more like a human and be kind and caring to those he likes (Treas et al., 2018). Therefore, not having a heart seems to be a problem that is currently impacting his wellbeing.
The Scarecrow
The Scarecrow is a character whose skin is white in color and rugged. His nose is red, which is what makes him appear more like a clown. He has a clear voice but seem confused. He makes uncoordinated movement. He rarely concentrates. He walks with his back bent forward, and makes sudden movements, unlike a normal human being. Client does not seem to be totally aware of his surrounding therefore, questions everything which is why he never seems to understand anything that is communicated to him (Treas et al., 2018). Client cannot give definite answers. His hair is mostly hidden under the cap that he has on. However, from the part that is visible, one can easily tell that it is unkempt as it sticks to his head. It does not seem like any other human hair. According to this character, client states that he needs brains to become perfect. That is why he is on the journey to seek the Wizard of Oz.
The Lion
In the Wizard of Oz, the Lion is a hairy being that walks on two legs unlike other Lions. His skin color is brown even tone, including the face. Client is alert and oriented. With paws instead of palms and legs, one can easily tell what creature it represents. Instead of walking like other human beings, the Lion hops from one place to the other. From the hair on his body, it is difficult to see his joints, but he has normal movement of joints. However, the face has whiskers and the ears are located at the top of his head. He has no mobility issues. Character states he lacks courage which would make him function properly as a lion (Treas et al., 2018). He is easily scared, even by his own imagination. He exhibits signs of anxiety.
The Wicked Witch of the West
In the movie, the wicked witch’s face and body is green in color. The posture is a bit crooked and she does not walk straight. She is alert and oriented. She has a normal joint movement. This character’s face is creepy since the eyes wink at different times. The fingers are curved, and longer than expected. She has an angry voice with a clear tone. She seems unpleasant and always angry. She has dry cracked hair. This character got killed by Dorothy unexpectedly when she poured water on her. This makes her melt just as she was planning to kill Dorothy and her friends.Rubic grading

Answer
Short Term Goals of Care
Goals of care are the commitments or aims for a client’s care based on diagnosis and agreement with the patient or family members. According to Treas et al. (2018), goals of care are not restricted to medical care, but all means through which the client’s health can be better. This paper, therefore, provides short term goals of care of specific characters in OZ based on their behaviors in the movie.
Tin Man
- To be able to move comfortably after one month. While the character is able to move to after lubrication, he is still suffering from stiff joints, which should be solved in order for him to operate and walk like any other person and care for other individuals.
- To treat malfunctioning of the heart within a period of three months. This will ensure that character operates like other human beings.
The Scarecrow
- To stabilize the mind in three weeks in order to carry out his daily activities without confusion.
- To treat mental issues using psychotherapy and medication within a period of one month. This can take approximately one month when psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are involved (Staab et al., 2017).
The Lion
- To stabilize the mind in three weeks in order to carry out his daily activities without confusion and fear.
- To psychologically support the character to be courageous through mental psychotherapy such cognitive behavioral therapy within one month. This should take about three weeks and may be extended depending on the progress of the patient.
The Wicked Witch of the West
- To reduce anger issues within a period of a month as this does not allow the character to interact effectively with others.
- To eliminate or stop the signs of anxiety that the character is portraying
