Arrange for staff to accompany resident when she ambulates, frequent reminders, her cognitive and physical status will have to be fully evaluated to determine her level of alertness and what functions she is capable of performing by herself.

The next stage is to implement the care package, ensuring all the care staffs involved are made aware of the individuals’ needs and preferences. After 6 weeks we would then review the care package, making any adjustments if required, and following that the care package would be reviewed again in 12 months. If for any reason there was a change to the individuals needs or situation then a review would be carried out at an earlier date in order to address the change.

Staff working in partnership with a service user’s family will become more aware of families' individual needs, and know more about an elderly person's home context, thus enabling them to be aware of how the care home is different or similar to their own home and understand the elderly person’s behaviour with this in mind.

During this day, I was assigned to care to one of our sick residents and based on my assessment, her condition shows no sign of improvement from her chest infection so I checked her vital signs specifically her respirations. After assessing her, we rang in the GP to inform him about the condition of his patient and asked him to schedule a visit. Also, in the afternoon, we had a new admission from Eversley. Firstly, we greeted the patient, introduced ourselves and oriented the resident to the unit. Secondly, the nurse from Eversley informed us about the relevant information about the patient’s

Throughout the duration of my placement is was crucial that there was a safe quality of care being given to the residents. This overall achieving the goal for the residents, which is to maintain or attain the highest possible health and wellness through both short term and long term realistic expected outcomes (Lewis 2010 p.17). During my placement, it was important to set measurable and realistic short term goals for residents for a range of different reasons. These included tasks such as breathing exercises and eating 3 main meals each day. The specific task would be included in the residents’ care plan to ensure all staff members were aware and could document any concerns or changes.

Staff are required to make an entry in to an individuals care plan once in twelve hours. This entry is in the daily life and review and will contain details regarding medication administration, dietary and fluid intake, elimination, mobility, mood, behaviour exhibited and any changes or deteriation of the individual. There is also a requirement to record visits from doctors, nurses and other health proffessionals.

Part C. Identify the records you are responsible for completing: A resident care profile should consist of care planned for the resident and any decisions made. Residents care profiles should be clear, concise, factual and accurate. Any information recorded about that resident should be recorded as near to the event as possible and only relevant information should be recorded. At least two entries per day should be entered into a care profile about the resident. If residents require more entries due to a change in their care this can be completed when ever necessary. Every month each resident should have a profile review to ensure all relevant information is up to date. Some information may be used as evidence in a

Finding out the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual will contribute to their care plan, you would do this by asking and talking to the person concerned, or if they were unable to tell you this information, you could speak with their family. Ask the individual about their life, and what they used to work as etc, if they are able to tell you all of this, then you will learn a great deal about them and this will help you to offer support to them in the most appropriate ways. Residents can often find it hard to

I always ensure that care plans and assessments are completed within the first day of a service user moving into Sunnyfield so the care workers know exactly what is required of them whilst at the call. It is also important that the care worker knows any medical history re the service user before undertaking any tasks with them.

The care home needs to have staff that are trained and have a Health & Social care qualification. Also staff must not discriminate the religious/ cultural values of the service users. The manager of the care home also needs to consider female staff looking after bathing/ dressing the service user who is also female, because the female service users will prefer a female staff. This will respect the dignity of the service users. Staffs must be encouraging service users

On 02-07-2017 at 1607 hours I was dispatched to Victor Street and Coolidge Street in reference to an assault.

My day started off pretty well. I am familiar with 3C because my mom is a nurse on that floor. I found the respiratory therapists’ lounge without a problem. I walked in with one of the respiratory therapists and she told me that they all were expecting me, and thanked me for coming on time. I sat in on their meeting, which they do every morning at the beginning of their shift. In the meeting, they went over hospital regulations and reminders on how to use certain devices correctly so there are no errors. Also, they went over hand hygiene. Over all, the respiratory therapists averaged to a 95% of washing their hands in and out of a patient’s room. The manager stated that some of them were only at 50% though. Honestly, that grossed me out. I am a germaphobe. I always have been
