TASK 1
AC 1.1 Principles of support applicable to Bob's care
There are some principles of health and social care which should be noted to support care
of Bob who is suffering with so many diseases. These principles are explained below:
 Respect to Patient's preferences: Bob should be given some kind of freedom to live his
life on his own terms. The health and social care workers should not pressurise him to do
any activity which he is not interested, even it is for his betterment. The doctors should
make him control on his emotions an feelings which are negative such as his suicidal
tendencies (Cafazzo and et. al., 2012). The beliefs and culture of patients vary from each
other. The health and social care workers should give due respect to beliefs and culture of
Bob. When their beliefs and thoughts are respected, they develop a confidence and power
in themselves to fight with their illness.
 Coordination and Integration of Care: Patients like Bob should be handled with
utmost care and sensitivity. He is suffering with mental as well as physical pain which
need more care, affection and love for him.
