HCA 100 Date 22-11-2023 Sarpreet Singh (WCC1014542) Case Scenario: Joan is a Health Care Assistant working in a complex care facility. She enjoys her work a lot - especially, as she says, “working with my sweet little old ladies.” Joan is well- organized and makes every effort to assure that the clients in her care are safe, clean, and comfortable. Today, when she completed bathing Mrs. DeVito, Joan dressed her in a flowery dress and placed a bright red bow in Mrs. DeVito’s white hair, saying, “There you go, dearie. You look so cute.” Mrs. DeVito is deaf so she didn’t hear Joan’s comment. She just smiled and nodded. Review the above situation and answer the following questions: What is there about this situation that reflects person-centred care and what does not? Person-centred care means treating the person (resident/client/patient) with respect and dignity. In this scenario, Joan makes every effort to make her clients look clean, comfortable, and safe. The way Joan dressed Mrs. DeVito after shower shows the person-centered care approach. The only situation which does not reflect person-centered care is the method of communication. Joan should have used a different method of communication when she said Mrs. DeVito looks cute. Since Mrs. DeVito is deaf, Joan should have used some hand gestures or a written note to tell her that she looks cute. Could the situation have been handled differently? If so, how? Yes, the choice of method of communication could have been better. Joan should have used hand gestures or written note to tell Mrs. DeVito that she looks cute. What is there about this situation that reflects caring? What reflects caring in this situation is the way Joan takes pride in her work. She is well organised and ensures the well being, cleanliness, and safety of her clients. What does not? Even though Joan does her best for her clients, but I think she could have used a different means of communication considering that Mrs. DeVito is deaf.
