While Jenny is showering Mrs Williams, her mobile phone rings. She leaves the shower room to attend to the call and returns a few minutes later. Mrs Williams is clearly distressed. Without acknowledging Mrs Williams distress or fully completing her hygiene cares, Jenny hurries to get Mrs Williams dressed.  She takes a selfie of her and Mrs Williams and sends it to her friend Jess before taking Mrs Williams to the dining room for breakfast.
When they get to the dining room, Mrs Williams tells Jenny that she needs to go to the toilet. Jenny states, I dont have time to take you at the moment, but Ill come back soon. Jenny returns an hour later to discover Mrs Williams has become incontinent of urine.
