Activity 1B
Ques 2- Identify a process that you are not qualified or trained to do.
Answer- Disability induction programme
What are the worst-case scenarios for-?
 You – Not able to work with efficiency in today’s disability sector.
 The client- Not able to provide person cantered approach
 The organization- Lacks comprehensive grounding in this particular sector.
Identify a piece of equipment that you are not qualified or trained to use.
Answer- Portable oxygen tank
What are the worst-case scenarios for-?
 You- Inefficient, as not able to deliver the right service at the right time.
 The client- The problem or disease or situation will not be cured or even it sometimes
proves fatal.
 The organization- lacks proficiency and sometimes needs to pay legally
Activity 1D
Identify a cultural group- Conventional corporate culture, The Traditionalist
 How you act and conduct yourself around them- There are various lifestyle
changes created by new technologies and social institutions. Traditionalists are more
likely to resist these changes. So, one should act peacefully
 How you speak and communicate with them- Speak confidently and at the same
time sound a little more mature and reasonable in putting forward anything to them.

3
 How you provide them care- Integrated care is provided by the peaceful
transformation of the society in regards to their tradition.
 What care you can - Encourage their members to transcend group consciousness.
 What you can feed them- People should be made aware of the positive effects or the
constructive side of the changes and they should welcome challenges and the cultures
who have adapted these changes with evolution continue with their flourishing
generations while those who do not adapt vanishes from the history.
 Participation in religious or cultural activities- This cultural group has a
reductionist worldview as they basically perceive a change as destructive or disruptive
notion and mainly it is threatening to them .It is for the same reason traditionalist are
into grate violence activities, they usually violates human rights , genocide which
poses massive suffering to suffering and death mere in the name of religion and
cultural beliefs. As these mainly are in a habit of blame others due to various
complexes they have and this desire to kill the members whom they think are
responsible. They mainly lack the valid insight and reasonability in their thought
process.

8- Describe (in 250 words each) two techniques for completing physical support
routine.
Answer-
1) Bed bathing- Supporting patients to maintain their hygiene needs while they are in
hospital is a fundamental aspect of nursing care, yet there is very little evidence to
support practice . Personal hygiene includes care of the hair , skin , nails ,mouth, eyes,
ears and nose, perineal areas,facial shaving . Hygiene and skin care should be
considered as one entity, as both have a potential impact on skin health and on
patients’ comfort and wellbeing.
Factors that have have negative impact on the health of the skin are too much and that
too using products which are harsh and hygienically poor conditions which usually
cause various skin and other infections
Bed bathing is not as effective as showering or bathing and should only be undertaken
when there is no alternative. If a bed bath is required, it is important to offer patients
the opportunity to participate in their own care, which helps to maintain their
independence, self-esteem and dignity. Plastic wash bowls were routinely used in
hospitals for bed bathing but they can easily become contaminated with micro-
organisms responsible for healthcare-acquired infections. As such, single-use
disposable bowls are now commonly used.

5
All patient should have their own toiletries or be supplied with single-patient use items until
their own toiletries can be brought into hospital.
Soap can alter skin pH, leading to dryness and skin breakdown, so it is suggested that skin-
cleansing emollient creams should be used .These should be prescribed for individual
patients, and a spoon or spatula should be used to decant the product into a disposable pot to
prevent contamination; emollients in tubes or pump containers reduce this risk. New supplies
should be prescribed following treatment for a skin infection
Reusable washcloths should be avoided as they can harbour bacteria. This is particularly
important in patients who are immunocompromised or critically ill, or those whose skin
integrity is compromised, for example, patients with burns
A relatively new development is pre-packaged cloths for bed bathing (commonly known as
the bag bath), which do not require water. A systematic review comparing bag baths with
traditional bed baths concluded that ‘washing’ without water may be an alternative to the
traditional bed bath, although more research is required .
2) Transfering a person between bed and wheelchair-
The task of transferring a person from his bed to the wheel chair requires great patience as it
can be a bit time consuming. First make the patient to be transferred to be seated comfortably
in his bed for few minutes, never rush for anything as it can have a negative impact. Then
with gentle hands roll the patient to the side where the wheelchair is being placed , by putting
one arm under the shouldrer of the patient and the other behind his or her knees . Gently put
his feet down the bed swinging and by firm grip even by using a belt transfer the patient from
the bed to the wheelchair located just infront, by standing much closer to the patient Once the
patient's legs are touching the seat of the chair, bend your knees to lower the patient into the
seat. At identical time, raise the patient to achieve for the chair rest.If the patient starts to fall
throughout the transfer, lower the person to the closest flat surface, bed, chair or floor.

FOLLOW SAFE WORK PRACTICES FOR DIRECT CLIENT CARE
ACTIVITY 2B-
Role playing activity- Moving heavy or bulky items
Injuries caused by overexertion or overextention during manual lifting of heavy or bulky
objects is a main occupational health and safety concerns. However, OSHA is able to cite
employers under its general duty clause requiring employers to provide a workplace that is
free of recognized hazards (Section 5(a) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970).
The weight of the load is also a determining factor in whether or not material can be lifted
safely, Other lift factors include:
 The force mainly required for lifting.
 Postures and motions of the body during lifting.
 The time taken in lifting activities.
 Frequency of lifting.
Concerning the force needed to perform the lift, there may be increased risk for injury if:
 Pinching is involved in heavy lifting so as to hold the object.
 One hand is used to lift heavy objects.
 No mechanical devices are used to lift very heavy items and they are being lifted by
hand.
 Heavy items are lifted while bending over, reaching above shoulder height, or
twisting
The following postures and motions can contribute to the risk, as well:
 Bending or twisting the back while lifting or holding heavy items
 Lifting objects out of, or putting them into, cramped spaces
 Leaning, bending forward, kneeling or squatting during lifting activities
 Holding lifted materials without changing positions or resting in between.
Proper lifting technique of heavy and bulky objects include-

7
1. Check the load.
2. Don’t lift by yourself if it looks too heavy or awkward.
3. Have feet shoulder width apart with one foot beside the object and another
behind object to be lifted.
4. Bending your knees and keeping your upper body upright allows you to use
your legs to lift, rather than your back. .
5. Keep arms and elbows near the body, keeping load close to you.
6. Change direction by moving your feet, not by twisting body.
THINGS TO AVOID WHEN LIFTING –
1. Lifting heavy objects without help.
2. Lifting while injured or fatigued.
3. Rushing through the steps.
4. Reaching overhead or stretching to pick up or place objects out of reach
ACTIVITY 2C-
Locate a risk assessment form from:
 Workplace
 Government website
 Other suitable website or source
And identify the activity to perform on risk assessment form.
Answer- The risk assessment form should address-
Risks should be clearly identified as to ensure activities, situations, processes that basically
poses harm to the people There are different ways to assess risk and one way which is the

8
most efficient one is by the risk assessment form . The risk assessmwnt procedure should be
done by a competent personnel who is familiar with the activity. Thee are certain points to be
addressed in the risk assessment form however the paticulars in the form are customisable
according to specific workplace requirements. The important points in the form are the name
of the assessor, date of assessment , known or expected hazards and their possible
consequences, main activity to be assessed, population or person at risk, different risk control
measures to be applied , training requirements, level or degree of risk, emergency actions to
be taken and at last the signature of the assessor .
What conclusion do you come to?The goal is to answer all of the questions or points above.
Assessment can vary from person to person and for which an updated checklist., and the
reporting or data documentation process which is used, and how decisions are made is of
utmost important. An effective risk assessment on the priority identify the hazards by merely
assessing what are the factors causing or posing threat or harm around .Then there is a need
of evaluate of the risk and decide precautions that should be taking immediately to improve
health and safety. Appropriate data documentation and recording of findings comes thereafter
which needs in depth clarity and knowledge related to the procedure. Review assessment and
update as few workplaces uses older equipments and facilities which are not at all efficient
any longer so install new equipments to ensure better facilities.
ACTIVITY 5A-

9
Identify any equipment that poses risk in your workplace , What safety measures and
precautions are in place to limit the risks associated with this equipment ?
Answer- Water boilers
Genral checkpoints to be taken into account as to ensure no equipment failure and safe
handling in workplace are- Check feed water quality
 Give blow down at regular intervals ( approx. twice in a shift ).
 Blow down the level switch and gauge glass and clean the gauge glass externally.
 Clean the fuel filters and strainers. 6.Drain slightly the oil line bucket filter
 Nozzle cleaning.
 Check the working of low level & extra low level alarm by reducing the water
 Ensure proper lubrication of all moving parts.
 Clean the flame sensor and viewing glass.
 Check the conditions of door seals.
 Check that there are no variations in the fuel pressure as compared with that at
commissioning time.
 Clean electrical contacts of all relays and tighten loose connections if any. Rough
emery paper should not be used for cleaning contacts
 Check water pump gaskets and non-return valve.
 Lubricate the modulation motor linkages.
 Clean the burner nozzle and ignition electrodes.
 Check and clean, if necessary, the furnace. Clean blower fan blades.
 Drain and clean water service / deaerator tank and fill it with soft / DM water.
 Clean the fuel filters / strainers.
 Drain and clean fuel service tank.
 Open and clean out doors of boiler and super heater.
 Remove collected soot deposits. Check all valves for leakage; lap them if found
leaking.
 Lubricate bearings of water pumps.
 .Check the sealing of Manhole head holes, and clean out door of smoke box.
 Clean the inner and outer face of the sight glass.
 Note that under no circumstances should a door be left with gas leak around the seal
as this would damage the door.
 Clean the smoke tubes with the help of wire brush.
 Clean the combustion chamber of boiler and, super heater. However quality of fuel
and burner efficiency will determine the frequency of cleaning this.
 Lubricate the motors. Burner should be over hauled at least once a year & regulated to
ensure perfect combustion.
 Check the door refractory for any damage. Repair as necessary.
 Clean the water side of the boiler thoroughly.
 Descaling, if required, should be carried out

for you to encounter . You will have to verbally report your fndings before
producing a written report of the assessment . You should-
 Assessment of risk - Evaluating the probability of an injury occurring and its
severity grading.
 Solving the problem safely- Handling the hazard and controlling the risk
associated with them. Gather and record information about the potential
hazard and their appropriate management.
 Recording of findings – An effective risk assessment tool should be used to
record the findings and then an appropriate decision can be made according to
severity or consequences.
3- Reflect on your performance and perform a weekly self-assessment of your
application of the day to day safety procedures required by the job role.
Ability of taking appropriate decision determines self assessment. Correct decisions
implement a control measure.

b- Caring can be difficult and challenging as it requires a great patience and understanding
of the patients needs. One of the most common health risks is pressure ulcers, or pressure
sores.. These ulcers can become infected if not treated properly, so it is crucial that caregivers
rotate patients on a regular basis. Relying on a home care system , has proven very helpful in
this regard.

CHCAGE005- PROVIDE SUPPORT TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA
Activity 1A-
3- Don’t Argue Never Say “No”

17
Maintain Independence
Improve self esteem and confidence.
Never ask leading questions
Use simple sentences with simple words.
• Speak clearly and slowly.
• Stand in front of the client and look into his face and talk.
• Give the patient time to understand before continuing with the next sentence
. • Observe clients verbal and non verbal responses.
• Don’t argue with the client.
• Use gestures, such as pointing to an object, or demonstrating the action to be done. •
Avoid distractions while talking to client.
Who should be referred-
People with cognitive impairment on their screening test . Anyone worried about
their memory . Younger patients with a family history of AD . Patients with cognitive
impairment and behavioural symptoms should be referred.
• Changes in mood and personality.
These signs occur as there is progressive impairment of cognitive functions occurring
in clear consciousness.( Gulla et al., 2019) It is often associated with language
difficulty, memory lapses, disorientation, poor judgment, and difficulty completing
daily care routines such as dressing, eating, or hygiene tasks. (Smeets et al., 2019)
Many diseases leads to dementia .It can be either treatable or non treatable. (Sano et
al., 2019)
• Common treatable causes are depression, vitamin deficiency, head injury etc.

18
• Untreatable causes are Alzheimer’s dementia, Multi infarct dementia ,AIDS
complex dementia etc. (Peters et al., 2019)
30 million people with dementia worldwide currently, and this is likely to double
every 20 year. There are about 1.5 million people this number is likely to increase by
30% in the next four decades.
Activity 1B-
3-Persons medical needs- Monitor dental hygiene ,check for halitosis
• Assist with brushing daily
• Use soft bristled tooth brush
• Check mouth for any sores or ulcers
• Use correct fitting dentures
• Use emollients to prevent drying of lips.
Assist with grooming, cutting and filing nails
• Never cut nails closely to avoid injuries
• Apply moisturizers and deodorants to avoid body odour.
• Comb hair properly.
Information about persons routine-
Things to be taken care of in the patients routine activities are as follows:-
Bathing:
• Never leave patient alone.
• Encourage hygiene and avoid dependency on the caregiver
• Provide bath stools and grab rails inside the bathroom.
• Keep bathroom clean and dry.
• Check the temperature of water before bath.

19
• Keep familiar soaps, hair oils, shampoo to remind the patient about bathing.
• Observe for any injuries or sores while bathing.
Prepared for wandering
• Ensure patient carries identity
• Relocate door locks
• Door bells .
• Make sure that the person carries identity bracelet with name, address and telephone
number.
• Relocate door locks to positions where the person will not look for them.
• Install bells and buzzers that sound when external doors are opened.
• Make the door less visible by painting it the same color, or covering it with a curtain
• Put a large stop sign on the door.
Toileting
• Monitor for signs of constipation and dehydration
• Assist the patient to toilet at scheduled intervals
• Use signage or symbols leading to toilet.
• Use night lights ,or grab rails in the toilet
• Provide easily removable garments
• Keep the toilet clean and dry
4- Person centred care is not a suitable method of care for a confused person because
they cannot assess their own needs. (Lachs et al., 2019) Some aspects of person
centred care would include comforting the client by talking, a gentle touch,
maintaining eye contact, providing attention, validating their feelings, understanding
their individual needs and making them feel important.As dementia advances, bodily

20
functions are lost and mobility becomes difficult. (Kales, Gitlin and Lyketsos, 2019)
The needs of the client increases and they become dependent. Some of the individual
needs includes:
• Mobility
• Eating and drinking
• Bathing
• Hygiene
• Dressing
• Oral Health
• Podiatry
• Risk and safety
• Encouragement
• Acceptance
• Validation
Communication tips-
Break your instructions or communications down in to steps.
• Use of simple understandable language is preferred
• It is of utmost importance to be patient and calm as rude behaviour and angry
emotions can easily be felt by the patient
• Make sure not to involve in any sort of argument with the patient as it may have a
negative impact on patients .There show interest in listening to them by making them
feel comfortable even when it seems difficult to understand them.
• These patients are very much anxious which results in their continuous restless and
panicky behaviour which one needs to deal with very patiently. The level of anxiety
can vary from person to person.

21
• These patients if sit ideal can experience more trouble and it would be more
difficult to handle the situation therefore it is always advisable that plan some
constructive activities to keep them busy, whatever they enjoy or prefer to do.
• These patients hav e wandering problems as well so one need to assiost them
completely for walking around as they can be lost sometimes.
• Nowadays there are various technologies which comes handy in order to track the
location of these patients like GPS , this can prove very helpful ion the situations
where somehow the patient is lost. However these situations can be avoided by
shutting doors using safety latches and using keyed deadbolts. Also sometimes using
visual distractions at the door by coloring them dark or by painting the floor
sometimes seems offending to the patient suffering with dementia and therefore this
can prevent the patient to going further.
• Dementia is a progressive diseases and thereby for the patient things changes by
each passing day therefore it is important to follow the care routine very stricty even
if situations.(Robert PH et al., 2017) Do not touch the person or begin activities
without calmly explaining things to the patient as these patients can be very resiostive
sometimes. (Scales K et al., 2018)
Try to determine if fears or physical feelings are behind refusals or is the person
afraid something and accordingly try to make that situation comfortable as much as
possible Use simple sentences and allow more time to the patient to process this
command and respond accordingly. Try to limit options for the patient and this
simplify things .
• Patient should be given comfortable and eay to remove clothes .As sometimes the
patient wont be able to remove the clothing by himself or herself . Clothes can have
elastic waist and made of soothing fabric.

22
• A scheduled bathroom routine can be made sopecifically for the patient and should
be followed with no set backs . Full assistance can be needed by the person for his
bathroom needs and one should take the person in every couple of hours in order to
avoid accidents and also at the same time ensure proper hygiene. Complete assistance
is required during climbing stairs or in pools ,one can prevent accidents by blocking
the area of stairs by appling bars or gating them , or locking the doors as these can
cause serious injuries to the patient if the patient somehow encounters with an
accident.
5- Adult day care: Adult day care agencies usually provides supervision and assistance to the
patients of dementia outside their homes that is there comfort zone, for few hours which also
depends on patient to patient. They only provide day care services
Activity 4C-
2- In-Home respite care: These basically is for the caregivers or the assistants involve in the
continuous care of dementia patients. These respite homes provide these healthcare persons
with some break and at the same time social engagement for dementia patients. These respite
centres can also provide meals sometimes (Zwijsen SA et al. 2014) and these centres proves
beneficial for patients with early stages of dementia.
There are several government initiatives, which are also running like meals on wheels for the
dementia patients.
Activity 4D-
3- The person’s doctor can put you in contact with the aged care assessment team or various
counselling groups. When greeting a client help them by reminding them who you are, like
by addressing them with their names in particular , with short and simple sentences. There
should be nothing like giving too much information to the client. Use of body language

23
gestures, facial expressions and visual demonstrations can be beneficial. Do not use very
modern words, it may frustrate the client. Assess whether your client has special needs such
as hearing or visual impairment that you should take into consideration. It is also important
for the care givers to be honest with clients by explaining them clearly that what is being
done and its basic rationale.
EMPOWERMENT- Let the client take small responsibilities. Look for strengths and skills in
each client and empower them by encouraging them to use their skills. This will boost their
confidence and give them a feeling of independence.
ENCOURAGEMENT- Always encourage the client to do as much as possible for
themselves. Never try to bully or intimidate them. Allow them to use their skills like cooking,
games, sewing etc. But always encourage them in a safe and risk-free environment.
AVOID LABELS -Try not to label people as problems. Consider how it may affect their
personality. Labeling someone as aggressive may make other carers nervous of them.
Likewise labeling someone as a wanderer may result in others being over restrictive towards
them.
PATIENCE- Allow ample time to the patient to perform their activities as they make take
some extra time. Always wait for replies when talking, do not hurry them when walking and
allow plenty of time to finish eating.
Activity 5A-
2-
All the skills the person with dementia still retains after focusing on the losses and accept
them for the unique person they are.
Validation strategies involve the acceptance and confirming of the client’s feelings and own
experience of reality.

24
Attention is paid to the to client’s facial expressions. This often helps reduce anxiety, distress
and agitation and promotes a sense of security.
clients go back to the past and to validate their memories.
Allow clients to participate as much as possible in the daily activities of the house.
Folding clothes and linen, cooking and washing up may be arranged for those who enjoy
household chores.
Points which are taken strict care of are-
Empathy
Acceptance of the person's reality
Acknowledgment
Allowing expressions of distress
Providing verbal and/or physical reassurance Use reminiscences frequently to connect with
clients
