What do I need in order to complete this assessment?

Access to textbooks and other learning materials.

Access to a computer and the Internet (if you prefer to type your answers).

When do I do this task?

You will do this task in your own time.

what do I need to do if I get something wrong?

If your assessor marks any of your answers as incorrect, they will talk to you about resubmission. You will need to do one of the following:

Answer the questions that were incorrect in writing.

Answer the questions that were incorrect verbally.

Instructions to students:

Answer the following questions.

Question 1

Jemima is concerned about her father, Archie. He is no longer able to feed himself. At mealtimes staff bring his meals to his room and assist him to eat. Her father eats very slowly and shows little interest in eating. The staff encourage him to eat but don’t manage to get much into him. Jemima feels that if staff could take much longer, he would eat more. But she understands that they cannot take hours feeding him as they have other duties as well.

In approximately 200 words, discuss the tension between Archie’s rights to be provided with a sufficient level of care and the organisation’s responsibilities to all their clients. Suggest some possible solutions.

Provide another example of where there is a tension between a client’s rights and the organisation’s responsibilities.

Question 2

The door from the aged care facility has a PIN number lock on the door as a security measure to stop clients from wandering onto the street. The PIN number pad has malfunctioned and the door can no longer be opened except from the outside. Staff and visitors need to leave by this door frequently, and there is not always someone on the outside available to open the door. The door is propped open so that people can come and go easily. Staff put up a large sign so that residents will not go through the door. The sign reads in large letters: NOTICE TO RESIDENTS YOU MUST NOT LEAVE THE RESIDENCE UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY A STAFF MEMBER OR FAMILY MEMBER

1. Has the organisation met its duty of care to the residents? Why/Why not?

Suggest an alternative strategy that could be used until the PIN pad has been fixed.

Question 3

Jules has had a stroke which has left him paralysed down his left side. He finds it difficult to walk and his speech is badly affected. Jules’s cognitive function is not affected. His family and GP feel that he is at risk living on his own. He is at high risk of falling, he may have another stroke, and he is unable to be understood on the telephone if he needs to call for help. His family and GP all want him to go into residential care – at least until he recovers (hopefully) from the stroke. Jules says that he doesn’t want to go. He will stay at home no matter what the risk. He can look after himself – and if he can’t that is his problem and not anyone else’s! His family say that he has to go into care – the risk is much too great for him to live at home alone.

What rights does Jules have? Will he have to move into Aged Care?

Question 4

What are three sources of information that you could access to find out the legal requirements for privacy, confidentiality and disclosure in the workplace?

Question 5

Fleur is assessing the level of risk for a new client at an aged care residence. One of the assessments she does shows that the client is showing symptoms of depression and anxiety. The client is worried that the doctor will make him take anti-depressant medication. Fleur tells him not to worry. She has done a short massage course and is also good at talking to people. If he would like she will give him a massage each day and she would be happy to talk through his worries with him sometimes.

1. What is wrong with Fleur’s approach? What should she do?

Rebecca is a new Home and Community Care worker with Midwest HACC Services. She has recently qualified as a personal care worker and this is her first job. She is a little anxious about how she will know what to do, and what her responsibilities are.

What are the organisation’s responsibilities in this case?

List three ways that Rebecca can be fully informed of her work responsibilities and limitations.

Question 6

Research the internet to find a current Government policy or program (Federal or State Government) that relates to the improvement of health and wellbeing of older people in Australia.

1. What is the name of the policy/program

1. What is the web address for this policy/program

1. Briefly describe the major focuses of this policy/program.

What is one major trend relating to health and wellbeing of older Australians that has prompted this policy/program

Question 7

The following table lists eight major risk areas for Australia’s ageing population. For each risk area, describe the nature of the risk and suggest at least four risk minimisation strategies to reduce each risk.

Risk Area	Describe the risk	Risk minimisation strategy (four for each risk area)
Depression and anxiety

Instructions:

Discuss this task with your supervisor and identify a client with which you can work. It would be preferable for you to do the assessment, implementation and evaluation with one client, however this may not be possible due to time constraints or other barriers. In this case you may work with different clients for each part of the work.

You must protect the privacy and confidentiality of the client. Please ensure that all names and identifying information are blacked out on forms. Clients should be referred to as Client 1, Client 2 etc.

For this task you must:

There are 4 portfolio items. For each item you need to fill in the template provided and supply supporting evidence if relevant. For others, the evidence you must supply is prescribed. Further advice on how to supply evidence is explained below.

In some cases it may not be possible for you to provide the evidence requested due to the policy of your workplace. If this is the case note that the evidence was not able to be attached and ask your supervisor to initial the comment.

For each portfolio item, your supervisor or someone from the workplace will need to confirm the evidence provided is accurate and appropriate. You must ask your supervisor to sign each portfolio template where indicated.

It is up to you how you present your portfolio however it must be displayed and labelled clearly, and include the portfolio item number. It is recommended you use a scrapbook or display folder to show your evidence.

Your assessor may ask you questions about your portfolio if required.

Instructions on providing evidence

The right hand column of each portfolio template specifies the evidence that is either required or suggested.

You may also provide additional forms of evidence where you wish.

In some cases it may not be possible for you to provide the evidence requested due to the policy of your workplace. If this is the case note in the comments section the reasons that the evidence was not able to be attached. Your assessor may then ask you additional questions, or ask to see a copy of the evidence during a workplace visit.

Each piece of evidence attached must be numbered on the top right hand corner and the number written in the corresponding column of the template. One piece of evidence may be used for several requirements. In this case just list the portfolio number wherever it is applicable.

The following are examples of how you would complete this section of the portfolio template:
