MAIN BODY
TASK 2 PART A
2.1Summary of legislation relating to confidentiality
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (2018) controls that how the personal
information is used within the organizations, businesses and with the governments. This
protection act is UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They
helps in ensuring that all the personal information of the employees are safely and securely
maintained by organizations at large scale and this helps in denoting that all major aspects of
maintaining the confidentiality is known. The data protection regulation also helps in ensuring
that laws are used and framed in a fair manner, is lawful and is transparent. It is a national law
which complements European Union at large scale (Cornock, 2018).
This legislation helps in making provision about the processing of personal data. Part 2
supplements in the provision makes apply to equivalent regime to certain types of processing to
which GDPR does not apply. Part 4 in legislation makes provision about the Information
Commissioner. Part 6 makes the provision about enforcement of the data for protecting
legislation. These are some major types of how the legislation of the data protection is taken into
consideration. The act also introduces new offences which are framed for knowing the aspects of
how obtaining and disclosing of personal data is being done.
2.2 Evaluation of effectiveness of methods of giving, receiving and storing information
It is very important to store the information as there are very important and personal data
which is stored at large scale. It helps in knowing and analyzing the aspects of how personal
information is being stored at large scale. The effectiveness of storing the information and data
helps in keeping safe the information at large scale and this implements that it is very important
for the company’s and organization’s to maintain all the personal information of the individuals
(Diem Le and et.al., 2021). This helps in denoting the aspect that when the personal information
of the individual is stored, given and received through the process, it helps in determining the
value of how effectively the confidentiality is maintained at large scale within the organizations.
The major aspects in which the company and organizations maintain the confidentiality are taken
into consideration which helps in ensuring the scale as to how to what information is to be given,
received and stored at large scale. The main aim of the effectiveness of the information is that it
3

helps in taking concern that all major changes and modifications are framed through such
manner of creating value which is kept as the security of the individuals within the organization
effectively.
2.3 Issues related to confidentiality in the care setting as a nurse or midwife making reference to
the client choice and need to know
The issues which are related to confidentiality in the care setting as a role of nurse or midwife are
that nurses are obliged to protect the confidentiality information about the patients unless which
is required by the law to disclose the information to any of the member in the care setting. The
nurses also face the failure of not maintaining the information appropriately of the patients
within the care setting (Ali and et.al., 2018). Adhering to the workplace security and privacy
policy in protecting the information becomes the main issue for nurses or midwife when they are
not concerned by the information and data which the client has provided to them. A patient needs
to know that they can only disclose the information in regard to their situation and this will be
kept private. The relationship of patient with the patient is based on trust. Patients trust is broken
when they feel that the nurses are unable to keep the confidentiality of the patients in appropriate
manner. It is very important that the patients’ information is maintained by the nurses and
midwifes so that they are able to keep all the information confidential.
3.1 Personal contribution as a nurse or midwife in promoting anti - discriminatory practice
As a nurse, I will promote anti – discriminatory practice by applying values of care,
implementing the policies and codes of practice to be followed effectively and in appropriate
manner within the care setting. I will ensure that all types of patients are taken care of (van der
Heever and et.al., 2021). I will also ensure that I avoid making any assumptions about them as
the patients are suffering from any illness or disease. For example - I will also contribute in
making fair decisions involving the individuals’ choice and maintaining the diverse backgrounds
from which they come.
3.2 Roles and responsibilities as a nurse in terms of accountability and diversity in the hospital
The role of nurse is to be aware of the patient’s culture, religious views and environment
from where they come. This helps the nurses to deliver effective and informed care of the
4

patients which helps in keeping the information of the patients private (Prybil and et.al., 2019).
The role of nurse is to ensure that she is comfortable in speaking different types of languages and
understands that the patient wishes to communicate. Nurses should respect all types of religion,
share similar experience and speak different languages which are observed at large scale. This
helps in knowing that the accountability and diversity of the patients in the hospital is maintained
by the nurses.
TASK 2 PART B
4.1 Differentiating Rosemary’s personal rights and legal rights in the case
Rosemary’s personal rights and legal rights in this case where she does not want to live as
her health is not in proper condition. Section 38 is applicable in the legal right which has been
framed in the Rosemary’s case (Talesh, 2018). As Rosemary’s wishes to transfer the insurance
policy in her daughter’s name as this will help her in giving the insurance payout for her
daughter Winsome. It is the legal right of Rosemary to transfer the policy of life insurance
whether or without any consideration which may be made only by an endorsement upon the
policy itself. It is the legal right of Rosemary that she wishes to die so that the insurance payout
will automatically come her way as she is her daughter. This is the personal right of Rosemary
also as she is transferring all her big insurance payout which is automatically of her daughter
Winsome.
4.2 Factors which potentially may affect her rights
The factors such as risks and cultural factors may affect Rosemary’s rights as she is
already not keeping good with her health and she thinks that she is burden to her daughter. Her
rights may be affected due to the risks which are being implied in the society and due to her
health. There may also be some of the cultural factors such as why she wishes death and how this
is impacting her health and her daughter who is taking care of her (Shachar and et.al., 2020).
This has created the major aspects which are affecting her rights as she is facing the risk of her
health. Rights of Rosemary are also affected in the manner that her health is being affected and
she has will have to face cultural factors as how she is living in the society and under what
conditions she is taking care of her daughter.

5.1 Factors that influence the development of identity
The gender role which Rosemary is playing is being a female she was the caregiver of her
family but in her situation, she was frightened, anxious and in pain therefore she was not able to
think positively and due to this she decided to die but when she spoke to her pastor she realised
that the problem can be solved in an effective and efficient manner (Higgs and et.al., 2020). Her
pastor reassured that support cam be made available for Pearl form the home office so that she is
able to decide about the insurance payout which she was about to give to her daughter. She
therefore found that she is the care giver to her family which depicted her family role in positive
manner.
5.2 Analyze how the care giver practices can support Rosemary’s basic human needs
The care giver practices which can help and support Rosemary’s basic human needs are –
 Personal hygiene and care should be provided to her which helps in ensuring the aspects
of taking care of her health.
 Support can be given to Rosemary in the manner by helping her with mobility (Savla and
et.al., 2021).
 Assistance should be provided to her in the housekeeping and taking care of her needs
and requirements.
 Assisting with her meals and nutrition Rosemary can be provided support.
These are some of the major care giver practices which will help Rosemary in fulfilling her basic
needs and requirements at large scale.
5.3 Analyse ways in which Rosemary’s beliefs and preferences may affect her care delivery
Rosemary’s anxious and frightened behaviour may affect her care delivery services which
can be provided to her. Due to her behaviour, the care takers will not be able to take care of her
health and will not be able to solve the problems due to her strict decisions. This will stop her
from the aspects of how proper care can be provided to her (Machira and et.al., 2018). This will
also frame the barriers between what she is thinking and what are the positive ways she should
take care of herself. Rosemary’s belief of dying and not living anymore will affect the care
delivery process which will make her process of providence of care difficult.
