1. Gender discrimination- It is a type of discrimination which can occur at workplace.
Here, on basis of gender the health care services provided to male is more as
compared to female patient. Thus, it represent discrimination on basis of gender.
2. Age- it is a type in which discrimination occurs on basis of age. For example- old age
people are not given proper health care services buy young people are given high
quality care.
3. Physical – It is found that Jamie works as nurse in health care. She is lesbian so her

life. It is more important rather than to avoid risk. This enable individual to make life
decisions by identifying risks. Besides, it offers person right to take risks that can impede

of others. This means to act always in interest of individual that do not harm the outcomes.

from legal view point it means to ensure that all laws and policies are followed in context of
providing care to disabled person.

assessment and then accordingly make changes in it.
QUESTION 12
Ryan works at the local church. It is undergoing renovations and new landscaping.
Page 11 of 27

The church has a number of volunteers who come along and help out during the week. Two
of the volunteers have disabilities – one is visually impaired and the other uses a
wheelchair.
Upon surveying the exterior one day, Ryan notices that much of the surface at the main
entrance of the church is made of gravel. The gravel path is also very close to the busy
front street. He is concerned that this may not be very safe for some of the volunteers.
Identify the following in this scenario:
▪ Risks
▪ Hazards
▪ Control measures
Risks: Here, the risks is of fall or slip. This can do harm to both volunteer as they are
physically disabled.
Another risk is of meeting with an accident as gravel path is close to front street. This can
result in cause of serious injury or harm to both people. There are other risk as well such as
fall of chemical substance, sharp object, etc.
Hazards: there is high hazard of physical injury in this due to gravel path the volunteer may
get fallen down or slip. In this case it can cause physical injury or harm to them. The
environmental hazard is also there (McCormack 2017).
Control measures: There are certain control measures which can be taken in order to
reduce risk. Here, first is that the gravel path can be corrected or removed from there.
Furthermore, there can be physical support provided to volunteer when they enter and left
the church so that there is less chance of fall or slip. Besides, all health and safety
measures can be installed in that area so that risk is mitigated.
QUESTION 13

from family members. Also, this will help her in improving life. Moreover, local support
network can be enhanced as well by which support is given to her. This will motivate and
boost her morale and confidence. In this way she will be empowered.

prevent him to stop being sexually active. Thus, on basis of it support services in provided
