PROMOTE PERSON-CENTRED
APPROACHES IN CARE SETTINGS
1

1.1 Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and
social-care work
The values of the person are very essential in the health care and social care settings. It
increases the thinking and decision-making of the person. It also helps to make the right
choices and improve the skills and knowledge (Kogan, Wilber and Mosqueda, 2016). It
also provides the sense of respect for the patients and increase the self-respect when the
person is having the right knowledge. It also provides freedom to the person as they can
make their own decisions which will help the patients to get satisfied.
1.2 Evaluate the use of care plans in applying person centred values
The care plan is very essential for the patients to increase their health and with the use of
care plan the health care can increase the person values so that they can become more
effective in the health conditions of the patents. The patients accept the care plan so that
they can also improve the person cantered values and so all the regular work which will
also motivate them to be healthy.
1.3 Explain how to collate and analyse feedback to support the delivery of person-centred care
in line with roles and responsibilities.
To deliver the person cantered values in the patients the health care needs to analyse all
the factors by collecting the feedback from all the external sources so that they can
understand the patient's needs and desires and make the effective care plan to formulate
the best person cantered values in the patient. The feedback will also help to understand
the impacts on the patients and how the patients is perceiving the knowledge.
3.1 Analyse factors that influence the capacity of an individual to express consent
2

The healthcare worker needs to analyse the free consent of the patient when they are
performing the care plan. In some case the health care workers have to determine the
mental status of the patients with the help of some factors to determine the free consent of
the patients. Dementia, usage of drugs and alcohol, brain injuries, highly overdosed with
medicines.
3.3 Explain what steps to take if consent cannot be readily established
The health care worker has to analyses that the patient is in consciousness by asking them
some normal questions and checking the health condition of the patients (Groves, 2016).
The worker also has to understand that the patients are in the condition to be taken the
consent for. The health care worker also has to evaluate the skills and potential of the
patients so that they can take the free consent from them and start their process. The
worker should listen to the patients and also understand all the actions which the patients
takes.
4.1 Describe different ways of applying active participation to meet individual needs
The health worker have to support their patients and make them understand all the
activities which can improve the health of the patients. The health care and social care
workers need to be patient in making the patients understand and improve their values so
that they can be more effective in improving their own health condition. The workers need
to evaluate the patients’ health condition carefully and also determine all the abilities and
potential of the patients which the patients can do on their own. The health worker will
then ask the patients to do their work on their own and wait for their response as the
worker need to be patient and understand the values. The health care workers also need to
slowly give their patients tasks so that they can take their own decisions and understand
the what is good and bad for themselves.

5.4 Describe how to support an individual to question or challenge decisions concerning them
that are made by others
Each and every person have right to question decisions or challenge those decisions that
are made by others for them. All the carte workers of individuals or patients are required
to ensure that rights of their patients of individuals are been governed according to their
duty or responsibilities and Human rights Act, 1998. It is the first and foremost priority of
an individual to ensure that whether any kind of decision is made for a patient or
individual, they understand the implications or reason of the decisions.
6.1 Explain the links between identity, self-image and self-esteem
All the three are linked with each other. If an individual feel that their identity is being
supressed for example, they are no given any kind of choices or they cannot express
themselves then their self-esteem and self-image is affected (Fazio and et.al., 2018). This
will affect an individual’s self-esteem as they won’t feel good about themselves and if
same individual is treated with dignity and is given choices about themselves then it will
help in boosting their self esteem and they will feel good about themselves.
6.2 Analyse factors that contribute to the wellbeing of individuals
Factors that can affect an individual’s well-being are:
 Physical health of an individual can affect their well-being i.e. if an individual has a
healthy body then it will make them feel good.
 If and individual has sufficient financial resources then it helps them to feel relaxed.
 Emotional support provided to an individual also contributes in their healthy life.
 Strong social network also helps an individual to relax as they can share their
experience with others.
 Education and work also plays a vital role in making an individual feel good about
4

themselves.
 Healthy political environment also helps an individual to feel healthy as they can use
their right to say something or for an opinion.
7.1 Compare different uses of risk-assessment in health and social care
One of the user of risk assessment in health and social care is the service user to whom the
service is being provided and another is the carer of care worker who provide the service
to service user in order to reduce illness, harm, injury etc.
7.2 Explain how risk-taking and risk-assessment relate to rights and responsibilities
Each and every individual has right to take risk in their daily life. All the patients or
individuals also have the same right but is the first and the foremost responsibility of the
care worker to support them in this with the help of risk assessment. Using risk assessment
care worker can help them in understanding the level of risk and protect them. So it can be
said that risk taking is the right of patients but risk assessment is the main responsibility of
the care taker or worker so that impact of risk can be reduced.
7.3 Explain why risk-assessments need to be regularly revised
It is important to revise risk assessments on regular basis because so that staff members,
employees and service users can be protected and impact of risk on them can be
minimized. Every day new and different kinds of risk arises and it is one of the most
important priority of the service providers to protect their employees and service users so
that they are not impacted by the risk in any possible way.
