I’m currently studying HNC Care & Administrative Practice (Clinical Route) which involves doing placement hours at a local hospital and complete a Graded Unit which consists of three stages: planning, development and evaluation. In the planning process I must complete and develop a plan to show that I can help a patient I have chosen with a nursing activity. After having a meeting with my mentor to discuss which patient we felt would be a suitable candidate for me to complete this task with, I gained consent from him. I also gained consent from the patient after explaining what and why I was doing the activity, and all information about her would be kept confidential. For this matter I will refer to the

Whilst undertaking the initial assessment, I always make sure that the service user is present and make sure that I am talking to them as opposed to about them with a family member or friend that also may be present. If I am doing an assessment with the service user who has Dementia or Alzheimer’s then again, I ensure that I am asking them what they would like, how they would like the care to progress and what they want to achieve from having care works. If they are unable to answer then I will look to the family for guidance, but it is important to make the service involved in their own care planning and assessment process

When Brent walked into our class room, you could not tell he had any type of disability. He began talking about his high school and college days, how he participated in all sports, played baseball at UNO as a pitcher, and eventually made it to the minor leagues. He decided that he was not getting anywhere with baseball, so he made his way back to Nebraska. One day his life completely changed on his way home from Lincoln to Omaha. When traveling home, the car in front of him spun out of control, and landed in the ditch. Brent got out to help, and on his way back to his car to call for help, another car slid of the road, and hit Brent, which threw him. After 10-12 surgeries and spending a month in the hospital, Brent now has a prosthetic left leg from the knee down, and his right leg is full of pins and his ankle is bone on bone. Eventually, he will have to get a prosthetic leg on his right as well. After the accident, he was tired of people feeling sorry for him, and tired of people trying to do everything for him, especially when he was

My responsibility as a care assistant is to deliver a very high standard service to individuals. This includes support for everyday living e.g. bathing, dressing, personal hygiene and general domestic tasks.

As a support worker, it is very important to always remember DIPPS. Dignity: The client with dementia did not choose to have the disease and suffer from poor behaviours or experience symptoms of dementia. As a support worker, provide the same level of care for all clients, since everyone is equal. Independence: Never take away a client’s right to autonomy.
