...4222-304 Duty of care in my job role means I take on the legal responsibilities to safeguard the wellbeing and welfare of clients under my care. This means that I must watch out for potential risks or hazards, where possible. Every client should be supported to live in the project free from prejudice, and safe from abuse whether this be mental, physical, financial or sexual. My responsibilities under the duty of care are to ensure I do everything within my job role to ensure this happens. The level of this is dependant on who is under my care a higher duty would be needed for clients with a limited ability to care for themselves. Sometimes conflicts and dilemmas can arise when carrying out my duty of care. Sometimes the client’s rights go against our duty of care as in they have the right to privacy but it’s our duty of care to safeguard them from any dangers. If we were to have concerns about any type of abuse this would override the clients right to privacy because in this instance our duty of care is stronger. This has a dilemma of making the client feel we took our duty of care too far. But although our duty of care overrides the clients right to privacy, their right to privacy still exists and only agencies that must know should be told. Another example is risk taking and balancing risk, it is a clients right to have opportunity to experience situations that may be a risk to the client in order to learn about potential danger but our duty of care is to keep them...

...Unit 4222-305 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care Outcome 1 Understand the application of person centred approaches in health and social care Person centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care. The individual is at the centre of the care and are involved in every aspect of it. This ensures that their support, activities, care plans and support plans are tailored to the individual and meet their needs in a way that is appropriate to them. There are person-centred values which must be used to underpin the above. These are respect, partnership, individuality, rights, choice, privacy, independence and dignity. In following the values, people are then empowered to live their lives and achieve their potential. A care plan details a persons needs and wishes, what is being done to meet them and who is involved in doing so. If a care plan is person-centred it reflects their individuality and will contain their own views and wishes, inform you about what they think is important and how they feel about their circumstances and tell; you how they want to live their life. By knowing this, it means you can support them to live how they want and achieve their dreams, recognising their choices and ideas. Outcome 2 Be able to work in a person-centred way Identity, self-image and self-esteem are all linked. Self-image is all about how we see ourselves, and our opinions of our won worth.

...Unit 4222-371 Understand and enable positive interaction and communication with individuals who have dementia (DEM 312) Assessment Criteria Outcome 1 Understand the factors that can affect interactions and communication of individuals with dementia The learner can: 1. explain how different forms of dementia may affect the way an individual communicates People with dementia often experience a gradual decrease in their ability to communicate as their dementia progress. They may find it more and more difficult to express themselves clearly to others and to understand what others are saying to them. This can become frustrating for people with dementia and for those trying to communicate with them. The different types of dementia affect the brain in different ways and each individual communicates their thoughts and feelings in a unique fashion. However, there are often similarities in their losses. How communication is affected: In the early stages of some forms of dementia people have difficulty finding the right word; and in the late stage words may be lost completely in all forms of dementia. It becomes harder to put sentences together as the disease progresses. Automatic responses such as "hello" are maintained for the longest period of time. In the late stages of the disease a person with dementia may have very limited ability to speak. Remember: There is more to communication than what you say. Communication is made up of: Body language (including facial expressions, posture...

...Diane Jaynes Why Proper Nutrition? Liberty University Thesis Statement Identifying and treating infants with Non-Organic Failure to Thrive that was brought on by poor adaptation and influencing parent behaviors, results in a more successful remedy with greatly improved outcomes for the child and family. Proper nutrition is essential for appropriate growing and development for infants and will have a substantial influence on the child’s health present and future. Abstract: Proper nutrition early in infancy is very important for the physical and emotional development of a child and issues can follow the individual into their adulthood. Physicians have put into place assessments that can be done on infants around 6-8 weeks and again around 8-9 months that can detect early problems such as failure to thrive. Small kids that have been diagnosed with Autism tend to have issues with proper nutrition because of the sensitivity of foods and end up with a diagnosis of failure to thrive also. A feeding checklist for non-organic failure to thrive patients, is a great tool for helping medical personal observe feeding interactions with the infants and their parents that helps with recognizing feeding issues with the parents or caregivers. Medical professionals have advised that extensive time prior the initial conception, the nutrition of the parents has an impact on the infant’s growth all the way into adulthood and beyond (Shepard, 2009). All females that are at...

...Paula Kain Undertake agreed pressure Area care (HSC2024) Unit 4222-229 Outcome 1 1) The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering and protecting the entire surface of the body. The total surface area of skin is around 3000 square inches or roughly around 19,355 square cm depending on age, height, and body size. The skin, along with its derivatives, nails, hair, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands forms the integumentary system. Besides providing protection to the body the skin has a host of other functions to be performed like regulating body temperature, immune protection, sensations of touch, heat, cold, and pain through the sensory nerve endings, communicating with external openings of numerous other body systems like digestive system, urogenital system, and respiratory system via mucous membranes. The skin is primarily composed of three layers. The skin, which appears to be so thin, is still itself divided into epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer or hypodermis. Each layer has its own function and own importance in maintaining the integrity of skin and thereby the whole body structure. Pressure sores or decubitus ulcers are the result of a constant deficiency of blood to the tissues over a bony area such as a heel which may have been in contact with a bed or a splint over an extended period of time. The surface of the skin can ulcerate which may become infected. Eventually subcutaneous and deeper tissues are damaged. Besides the heel, other areas commonly involved...
