    1.1 Within my care setting the service users all have a disability, some more severe than others, because of this they are classed as vulnerable adults whom are not always aware of how to take care of themselves. It is my responsibility to carry out a duty of care towards them such as, ensuring that they have their medication administered, ensuring that their personal hygiene is maintained and encouraged and to also ensure that any activities they wish to carry out are suitable and beneficial to them. A duty of care is a legal obligation in which I adhere to a standard of care. Within my care setting we have various procedures and checks we must carry out to ensure that we are providing a high standard of care to the service users. Such as, medication charts to be completed once the medication has been administered. Fire safety and health and safety checks are carried out on a weekly basis. Daily cleaning is carried out to ensure the setting is clean, which also prevents the spread of infection.…

Younger people may be still at work at the time of diagnosis and may face discrimination because of their illness. They may have dependent children and face financial problems.

    Self-care describes the behaviors that a person learns to perform for himself that contribute to health (Hood, 2014. P.136). The self-care deficit is the “relationship between actions that a person should take for health functioning” (Hood, 2014. P. 136). The self-care requisites are the needs that are associated with the development of health (Hood, 2014, p.136). Self-care demand is “therapeutic actions to meet needs” (Hood, 2014., p.136). Lastly, the agency is the “capability to engage in self-care” (Hood, 2014, p. 136). During my encounter, I evaluated the patient’s current physical state and what were the factors that contributed to it. Along with poor management of his healthcare needs, he also lacked social support from family and was not in a clear mental state to make his needs as a priority. These were internal problems that needed to be addressed because by even trying to fix the current problem he was admitted for; the care would not have benefited him to keep his health in good standing. Working with the collaborative team, we included social services to look into resources for the patient, which included meal services, community programs for seniors, and follow-up care for the patient. Due to the lack of support from his primary family members, he needed additional monitoring to ensure his…

    If the individual’s needs are not met, they may be given incorrect treatment. For example, if a person can dress them self, but that hasn’t been put across by written information or discussed with the patient, they may feel the carers are trying to do too much, so patients must be asked if they need help or not with tasks such as needing help with dressing, toileting, feeding etc. by the…

    This law provides the right to self-determination but there exist significant barriers to applying human rights justice, including ageism (Braye & Preston-Shoot, 2016). Again, Joyce’s needs assessment was based on the Care Act 2014, which made it mandatory for social workers to focus assessment on the person’s needs and fully involving the individual and, where appropriate, their carers in the assessment. This was evident in Joyce’s case, as Sheldon clarified Bob’s genuine fears should Joyce be allowed to live at home (Feldon, 2017). However, there was no indication that Sheldon offered Bob (Joyce’s main carer) the opportunity of contributing to the assessment process as laid out in the care Act 2014. Sheldon would have the opportunity to reflect on this during supervision with his manager. Nonetheless, in accordance with the Care Act, Sheldon gave Joyce the right to a personal budget, whereby the service user can name and employ their carer…

    Everyone is different, we all have preferences about our daily routines including what time we get up, what clothes we wear, the food we eat and how we choose to spend our time. Our ability to exercise choice in this way is essential for our wellbeing. Where routine develop in care services, there is a risk that these choices will be taken away from the service users and everyone will be treated the same. The less a person is treated as an individual, the greater the risk that they will be seen as just a care task. A person’s support needs in a health and social care setting are much greater than simply addressing physical care needs. A person’s emotional and social wellbeing needs to be considered. This means getting to know the person as an individual, with a history, personality and relationships which extend beyond the care setting. Make sure that you respect people choices, recognise individual differences and treat people sensitively and appropriately at all times. They have a right to choose how to live their life. They also have a right to privacy and dignity. If they feel uncomfortable about something then it should not happen, unless there is a justifiable reason, like health.…
