Mental health concerns has become the most critical health aspect for people around the
world, after diabetes and in Australia, it is the second most crucial disorder that increases the
death rate, as 5.4% of males and 10.6% of females dies each year as per Dementia Australia
organization (Dementia.org.au, 2019). Several policies and evidence based guidelines have been
developed by the governmental bodies in Australia depending on that optimal care is delivered to
the patients suffering from chronic dementia condition (Bond et al., 2016). This section would
provide dementia and related policies and guidelines so that improvement that is achieved after
implementation of policies and guidelines in care process could be determined.
There are several policies and frameworks that have been implemented by the Australian
national government and the local government of New South Wales (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019,
2019). In 2010, the government of NSW implemented NSW Carer Act 2010 so that
implementation of carer in chronic illnesses such as dementia for aged care settings could be
achieved (NSW Legislation, 2019). Further, to strengthen the application of dementia specific
care in the care process, the government announced dementia as one of the national health
priority area by the Australian government. In September 2015, the Australian government
funded dementia care processes and developed policies for dementia care and mandates the
application of these in the Australian healthcare settings (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019). Besides these
the guidelines which were provided for the evidence based care for dementia patients were
associated with increasing the accessibility of care, enhancing the assessment, diagnosis,
treatment and care processes for effective care in conventional healthcare facilities (Family &
Community Services NSW, 2019). Further it would help building capacity and integrating
service so that both in state and governmental level, the patient could be provided with effective

care (Agedcare.health.gov.au, 2019). To determine the application of these guidelines for
applying in the care process in conventional Australian health facilities, in 2010, government
launched the dementia awareness week in December so that awareness regarding the process
could be spread (NSW Legislation). Further, to increase the educational knowledge regarding
dementia and available educational resources, joint publication was published by the NSW
healthcare process and the ADHC so that patients could develop care related ideations (NSW
Legislation, 2019).
To implement the framework, the government first prioritized the chronic conditions;
collected evidence based data and then established the implementation group so that people
could be provided with effective care and resources (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019). Then, provided
the evaluation framework and then determined the effectiveness of the framework in enhancing
the dementia care associated interventions (Family & Community Services NSW, 2019). Hence,
the initiatives that were developed by the Australian government to increase the efficiency of
dementia affected care helped to develop community based nursing care centers and developed
guidelines that the clinical nurse consultants could use for the care of dementia affected
individuals (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019). Further, awareness regarding the culturally and
linguistically Diverse (CALD) dementia condition was also developed so that successful
assessment, implementation and counseling of dementia care could be developed
(Agedcare.health.gov.au, 2019).

Patient description summary
In this paper of dementia and associated care policies and guidelines, the case study of
Harry should be discussed as in this case study the patient is suffering from chronic condition
and this condition is affecting him social inclusion, self-efficacy and confidence. In this case
study, Harry (68) lives in the central coast of local health district and has lost his wife five year
ago. He lives alone in his house and is isolating himself from the society by not attending the
bowling club and the men’s shed. Hence, it is evident that due to the chronic health condition,
the patient is unable to focus on his active social life and is considering his health condition
limiting for his health condition. Harry’s children believed that he is suffering from obsessive
ideations and hence, should be provided with proper medication and intervention so that his
isolation and mental health condition could be treated. Further, they also think that after the
death of his wife, harry has become lonely and isolated which is affecting his availability in
social cause and aspects. Therefore, nursing intervention for this specific disorder should be

condition could be identified (Dementia.org.au, 2019). The local government policy for the
people affected with dementia involved a range of perspectives as per which the care should be
inclusive of community consultation, support for the initiatives, identifying the strengths and
weaknesses of the effected individual and then understanding the perspective of the community
about the care process (Central Coast Local Health District - NSW Health, 2019).
The relevant information which should be collected from the patient’s physical and
mental situation so that the dementia related interventions could be applied in the care process. In
this situation, the care facilities should optimize the primary care for the people affected with
dementia and then through effective diagnosis and screening process should identify the stage of
dementia affecting the patient. As per Marras et al. (2014), the diagnostic tools which should be
used by the healthcare professionals for the accurate assessment of dementia condition in
patients should be associated to the assessment of the patient’s cognitive functioning. The tool
which should be used for the diagnosis and identification of the rate of dementia is MMSE tool
or the mini-mental state assessment so that Harry and his mental health could be identified. As
per Robinson, Tang and Taylor (2015), if the patent scores less than 25 in the MMSE
assessment, the mental health condition should be termed as dementia. Further, the policies and
guidelines for the dementia assessment also mentioned that the dementia diagnosis process
should be inclusive of general practitioner assessment of cognition and as per this process,
Harry’s memory impairment screen, and mini –cog assessment instrument should be used so that
complete and detailed identification of the dementia condition of the patient and associated
chronic conditions could be assessed. However, as per Langa and Levine (2014) the assessment
of patient and his associated mental health condition should be accessed through the MMSE test
as this assessment method helps to identify the care process for the holistic care process of the
condition could be identified (Dementia.org.au, 2019). The local government policy for the

patient. Hence, Australian government developed the framework depending on which person
affected with dementia should be provided with culturally and ethically effective care and in the
process should include the decision making and self goals of the patient (Robinson, Tang and
Taylor, 2015). The strategic framework which should be aligned in the care process are
‘national framework for advance care directives 2011’, ‘national palliative care strategy 2010’ so
that objectives related to collaborative and strategic care for Harry and evidence based
interventions could be applied in the care process (NSW Government, 2019). Further, the
information should be shared through providing patient education so that shared values and goals
could be used for the development of care goals (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019).
Developing care plan for Harry
The care plan for Harry should be inclusive of the detail of the patient and the health
history of the patient should also be given. The first process which should be included in the care
process is the family centered care (NSW Government, 2019). This is because involvement of
the family centered care could provide the care process with standardized approach and could
include equality to overcome the inequality in the care process (Kindell et al., 2014). Further,
application of family centered care, mental healthcare professional could align with the Mental
Health Act 2014, as per which they could collect informed consent so that they could implement
quality care in the process (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019).
The three component of the care process would be patient centered care so that both of
them could develop shared goals, implement action plan, and could be able to monitor care
process for the dementia care (Agedcare.health.gov.au, 2019). Further, the family members of
Harry would be asked to take part in the care so that the health history of the patient or any
specific change in his behavior after the death of his wife could be obtained and then through the
patient. Hence, Australian government developed the framework depending on which person
affected with dementia should be provided with culturally and ethically effective care and in the
process should include the decision making and self goals of the patient (Robinson, Tang and

6NURSING ASSIGNMENT
application of MMSE tool, the level of dementia disorder in patient’s personality could be
identified (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019).
After completion of the diagnosis process, the patient would be involved in counseling
process so that using the patient’s activation measure, the healthcare physicians could understand
the patient’s health literacy his knowledge of dementia and the skill of mental strength required
to overcome the disease condition could be assessed (NSW Government, 2019). Further, in this
counseling session prior to application of any pharmacological or non- pharmacological
intervention, the patient would be asked to provide his self goals, his decisions about the care
process and the specific needs so that those could be complied with in conduction of the care
process (Caresearch.com.au, 2019).
Further, while conduction of the care process, as per the central coast NSW dementia care
frame work, the healthcare professionals should implement consistency, reliability and continuity
of the care process as these are the primary three pillars of the dementia care. Consistency of the
care would depend on the NSW local government dementia care process as depending on that
the values and services of the dementia care is determined (NSW Government, 2019). On the
other hand, the reliability of are process for Harry would depend on the personalized care so that
family centered and patient centered care could be provided. Finally, the continuity would be
ensured by the psychiatrists’ associated in the care process and the obtained informed consent it
would completely depend on the need of Harry (Nakanishi et al., 2015).
Application of care plan in care
Application of care plan on the patient should comply with all the local and national
government policies such as the mental health act 2014, the NSW Carer Act 2010 so that
application of MMSE tool, the level of dementia disorder in patient’s personality could be
identified (health.nsw.gov.au, 2019).

while providing family centered and patient centered care to the patient, nursing
professionals could be provided with evidence based guidelines (NSW Government, 2019).
These guidelines would help the professionals to maintain the ethical and professionals
considerations of care so that ethical rights of Harry could be maintained (Dementia.org.au,
2019).
To make the care process and effective, while including patient and family centered care
in the case scenario, motivational interviews should be conducted, and patient education should
be conducted so that Harry’s social isolation and misconceptions about his mental health
conditions could be modified (Central Coast Local Health District, 2019). Further, views and
needs of patients and well as the carers should also be taken while conduction so that their views
on patient centered care, their experience of working with mental healthcare patients could be
utilized for the benefit of Harry’s dementia affected condition (Agedcare.health.gov.au, 2019).
Harry would be involved in constructive care processes so that his mind could be diverted from
his mental condition and through constructive works, his confidence and self-esteemed could be
restored within his personality (Caresearch.com.au, 2019).
Conclusion
While concluding the paper, the case of Harry and his mental health condition should be
restated so that by aligning his mental health condition with general dementia condition, the
required guidelines and policies of the local government area of central coast Sydney of NSW
should be obtained. Further, through developing plan of care, the healthcare professional’s
assessment diagnosis and care implementation process could be identified and could be aligned
with the care of Harry. In this course, the paper was able to provide details of aspects, guidelines
