Assessment instructions:
Overview

The purpose of this learner workbook, assessment workbook, simulation diary or logbook is
to provide a guide of instruction and information in relation to the relevant assessment tasks.
As a learner, you will be provided with information relating to your assessment, including
how they are to be completed and submitted. Therefore, it is important that you fully
understand the assessment instructions given by your trainer to avoid issues such as academic
misconduct, submitting past the due date and providing incomplete assessments, which you
will be required to resubmit. If you fail to understand or need more clarification on the
assessments, you are required to contact your trainer/assessor for further information.
Assessment Task
The aim of assessments is to test your knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to the

which shows what you need to do to achieve the appropriate level of competency. For the
purpose of completing a written assessment, you are required to:
Complete each question, including any sub-questions;
Provide in-depth research on the topic, using appropriate primary and secondary sources;
Respond using a clear structure (e.g. Introduction, points of argument or fact, conclusion),
including references to the sources used.
All assessments required to be completed are compulsory as it is a required condition of your
enrolment.
Assessment requirements
The assessments within this document can be completed through several approaches such as:
Observation of real, indisputable actions as they occur;
Written or oral task such as reports, role play, work samples etc;
Portfolios;
Questions, or third-party evidence, in which the relevant document (observation document is
to be completed by the agreed third party.
All documents relating the third-party observation is to be provided to your trainer/assessor
as this will be used in determining your level of competency. Third-party evidence can be
obtained from supervisors (e.g., from the workplace), or clients/customers.
Please be informed that all assessments are to be typed up. Any handwritten assessments will
not be permitted unless approved by the trainer/assessor. You must also comply with
assessment policy and procedures at

Simulation diary (if required): You will do the simulation tasks as a part of your course in the
designated simulated environment.
During the simulation session, the student is required to meet the following requirements:
Follow the dress standards -enclosed shoes, appropriate clothing (no shorts or skirts)
Be aware of relevant procedures in case of accident, emergencies, evacuation
Follow the start and finish times, breaks, work routines, etc.
Follow the policies on personal phone calls and personal emails.
The attendance for simulation sessions will be monitored as per ‘AIBTGlobal’s Monitoring
Student Attendance and Academic Progression policy and procedure.’
Students should follow the standards of behaviour and comply with ‘AIBTGlobal’s Student
Conduct Rules’.
Students should come prepared for the planned activities for simulation.
Observation/demonstration/simulation (if required):
You may be required to perform tasks/works/assessments through observations, simulation,
or demonstrations. Your trainer/assessor will provide you with a list of demonstrations,
logbooks, simulation diary or any other related documents for tasks/works/assessments. The
observation, simulation or demonstration can occur in the workplace, or the training
environment such as workshop, or simulation labs. During observation, demonstration or
simulation, you will be provided with necessary information (e.g., timeframe) and equipment
and/or materials to complete the task. You are required to perform the work, task or
assessment in accordance with the required instructions.
Competency outcome
Upon completing the following assessments, your trainer will either mark the assessment
indicating S for satisfactory or NS for not satisfactory (requires more training). If you, as a
learner/trainee, receive satisfactory marks for all assessments within this module, you will be
graded a “C” for ‘Competent’. In vice versa, “NYC” for ‘Not yet Competent’, in which your
trainer will provide adequate feedback and give you a chance to resubmit. If your second
submission of assessments is still NS, you may be required to (i) resubmit assessments on the
third attempt or (ii) redo the course unit again, which requires re-enrolment. Please be aware
that the third attempt of resubmission or re-enrolment to the course can result in additional
costs/fees.
Assessment appeals process

As a learner, you have a right to appeal a decision or outcome of an assessment if you feel

Allowing others to complete any assessment task and/or submit an assessment task which is
not the student’s own work;
Fraudulent representation of any required documentation, for example, prior qualifications, or
medical certificates.
Collusion is defined where a learner collaborates with another learner currently enrolled or
graduated to produce an assessment which is submitted as their own. This may involve two or
more learners working together to produce the content of an assessment before submission.
Plagiarism, cheating and/or collusion is a behaviour that is strictly prohibited, therefore, prior
to completing your assessment it is advised that you refer to our Academic Misconduct policy
and procedure at to ensure relevant compliance. If you are found committing any of these

Elderly people, including those living with
dementia, oftentimes feel less valued by
society. Some are even abused and neglected.
Which of the following are ways that can help
address this?
Help them remain independent in their own homes with the use of equipment
and/or assistive technology.
Promote their independence in performing day-to-day activities and assist
whenever necessary.
Support them in maintaining their personal identity by letting them do activities
they are familiar with and confident in.
Correct their wrong beliefs and misconceptions.
Confine them in a facility away from society.
Develop and help maintain their skills in doing household tasks, so they don’t feel
helpless and depend too much on others.
Help maintain the person’s physical and social image through grooming, proper
hygiene, and maintaining positive relationships with their loved ones.

 Update yourself on the different forms of dementia listed below by researching about them online.
 Alzheimer’s Disease
 Vascular Dementia
 Lewy Bodies
 Korsakoff Syndrome
 Fronto Temporal Lobar Degeneration (FLTD), including Pick’s disease
 Huntington’s disease
 Parkinson’s disease
 Younger onset dementia
 For each form of dementia listed above, research at least one (1) of the following:
 Question. Current prevention or treatment options.
 Alzheimer’s Disease: The current prevention here includes is stop smoking, decrease the excessive
alcohol consumption, should eat healthy food containing at least adequate amount of fruits and
vegetables daily. This disease contains treatment which includes Aducanumab that is the only medication
which is currently authorized for treating this disorder.
 Vascular Dementia: The current prevention here includes to maintain the blood pressure level so that
person can prevent vascular Dementia. Person should quit smoking, people should do physical activities
or exercise. People should check their cholesterol level on daily basis. The treatment here includes to
cure this is proper medications to treat elevated blood level. Medications like aspirin to decrease the risk
of developing blood clots.
 Lewy Bodies: The current prevention here includes person should eat healthy and a balanced diet.
Person should also do physical activities on daily basis. Person should quit drinking as well as smoking.
Person should reduce their stress. There is as such no cure for lewy bodies but it can be reduced with the
help of medications and therapies such as physical, speech, and occupational so that person can manage
its symptoms.
 Korsakoff Syndrome: The prevention strategies here include that person should quit drinking. Person
should get a proper amount of nutrition. They should maintain their diet and eat healthy food. Treatment
here includes for this disease is proper medications should be given for the patients such as 100mg of
parental thiamine for at least 7 days.

 Fronto Temporal Lobar Degeneration (FLTD), including Pick’s disease: The
current prevention for this disease is not available as proper treatment of this disease
can reduce the signs and symptoms. The treatment includes antidepressants like
trazodone can simply decrease the risk of developing behavioral issues that are linked
with fronto-temporal dementia.
 Huntington’s disease: This disease is caused by mutations on the genes such as HTT
genes and till now there is no prevention and treatment which can cure this disorder.
As no one can alter an individual’s gene.
 Parkinson’s disease: This disease does not contain any treatment as it is treated only
on the basis of person’s signs and symptoms. The treatment here includes surgical
therapy and medications. It can be prevented by daily exercise, eating healthy and by
avoiding toxins.
 Younger onset dementia: As such there is no cure for early dementia but an early
diagnosis and treatment can overcome the cause and leads to better quality. In this,
eating healthy food and regular exercise can make the patient physically fit.
Prevention here includes quit smoking, promote healthy eating, promote physical
exercise can be used to decrease the cause.
