Graded Unit Planning Stage Kirsty Lafferty

Demonstrate how an individual with dementia has been valued, included and able to engage in daily life.

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

Throughout this essay I will share the reasons I have found for there being difficulties and also rewards of being a carer for a family member. ‘A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to care for family or friends who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.’ (Carers Trust) I will attempt to use my course materials to draw on the experiences of Ann Walker who cares for her elderly step father Angus who has developed Parkinsons’ disease. Firstly I will look at some of the following difficulties that I have identified and due to the limitations of this study I will then briefly discuss 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

This assignment will evaluate two examples of activities which as a teacher will be embedded into the delivery of training to health and social care staff who work in the field of dementia.

However, I feel that most of the problems and goals can be achieved, however, John has to work at them and be encouraged, supported, and helped through this journey which includes having outside services and resources available to achieve his goals. In addition, once John is motivated this will allow him to overcome obstacles and barriers to achieve his goals, however, I feel that if he had socials supports from friends, family, and ex-military buddies this would help him a great

A possible barrier for Mr. B includes: Physical barriers, he is in the wheelchair due to broken pelvis related to the car accident and it is a big problem for Mr. B to find appropriate care such as therapist. Cultural barriers: patient has different culture, tradition, manners and norms. Cultural deference sometimes makes communication demanding, as the mindsets person varies from culture to culture. Psychological and emotional barriers, due to PTSD these barriers may affect the way he thinks about his health. He is experiencing irritability; trouble sleeping, eating disorder, depression and anxiety. Access to health care barriers, transportation is one of the major problems for Mr. to access the health cares and other important

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

A key aspect to see whether the resource chosen is effective and useful are evaluating, planning and monitoring this resource. This can be shown through seven stage planning: Identify needs, set aims and objectives, describe the best way of achieving aims and objects, identify resources, plan evaluation methods, set an action plan, and action (Sciven 2010). The resource chosen can be used within an educational setting where it will be planned differently at different levels this is so it would be suitable for multiple abilities. This will be done through a process of one-to-one guidance, quickly and with no written action (Sciven 2010). On the other hand, for a major project, it will go through the same stage but, planned in detail and in depth. To identify the needs and priorities

The caregiver decided to provide care to the older adult because she feels a strong desire to provide him with a good end-of-life. Providing care to her husband hasn't effected her as much as it may effect other people. She has worked with the elderly population for 15 years so when starting care with her husband she was already aware of many things she could do and may need to do. However, the caregiver does feel that some days it can be extremely exhausting. A joy the caregiver feels is the amount her and her husband have grown together and how much more she has learned about his life. She said that something she finds frustrating is when the older adult has an accident right after she gets done changing his clothes. The biggest frustration

Upon asking about his daily living, he can bath or go toilet on his own. He can feed himself using fork and spoon. He cannot button his shirts smoothly because of his right hands tremor secondary to Parkinson’s disease. No repetition of words or actions, no episode of losing his way to come home. Decline in calculation and using phones.

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.
