Introduction
a person with coeliac disease can only eat a gluten free diet or how a person who suffered a stroke may have mobility issues
Politicoeconomical Factors: the impact of politics and economics and how these factors can affect a persons daily living e.g. how government cuts in funding for a persons care could leave them with less support therefore affecting their care and quality of life
Psychological Factors: relates to a persons emotional or mental state e.g.: people with mental illness may become secluded affecting their communication and other activities of daily living
Sociocultural Factors: relates to society and culture/ cultural beliefs e.g. society may see a frail older person and assume they cannot be independent and perhaps take some aspects of independence away from them causing them to become more dependent. (automatically getting a commode for the person when they are fit to use the toilet themselves unaided)
Environmental Factors: is how a persons home or work environment can affect their daily living e.g. living or working in a dusty environment can affect a persons daily living by causing breathing
Personal Cleansing and Dressing:
Frank can shower unaided using a shower chair and bathroom handrails so he does not have to stand for a long period of time. However somebody is always nearby to supervise when he is showering in case of an accident. He does not like anybody to help him get dressed and he can manage by himself but he will sometimes ask for help depending on what he is wearing e.g.: attaching his braces or tying shoe laces

Mobilising:
Frank can walk short distances with the aid of his walking frame. It allows him to successfully manage getting around his home and take short walks to is beloved cattle shed to check in on his livelihood. As he is mobile he is not currently at risk of pressure sores however if this were to change it would be reported to public health nurse. Frank also wears a call bell in case even with his walking frame he had a trip or fall. As mentioned in breathing he can become out of breath when walking even short distances. However, with continued physiotherapy and regular exercise this should improve but if in the future it gets worse it would have to be reported to the public health nurse and perhaps a wheelchair considered. It was document and reported to the public health nurse that both entrances into Franks house have several steps and not hand railings which can cause difficulty
