    Offering inappropriate treatment or care is unacceptable within a care setting because every resident deserves to be treated equally and professionally. As a care worker it is your duty to ensure that they are receiving the best care possible no matter why they are in the situation they are in. A resident’s past should not affect the way you treat or think of them, we are there to support and promote independence for all residents. If a resident is showing unusual behaviour you should try to find out what is wrong with that resident and don’t label them as being awkward or doing it for attention.…

This task was given to her to give her an idea of the type of questions patient's are asked during an assessment. Lastly, she was overwhelmed with how much patient care must be completed. I informed her that prioritizing and careful decision making are important skills to have and use when caring for patients. Daily tasks that I must do for a patient were given to her to prioritize them in the order of importance. This gave her the chance to learn how to handle multiple patient tasks.…
