ASSESSMENT TASK 3: ROLE PLAYS

TASK SUMMARY:
You will need to undertake both role plays.

WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ASSESSMENT?


Role play 1:
 Chair to settle client into
 Chair for student
 Photo album
 Radio.

Role play 2:
 There is nothing required.

WHEN DO I DO THIS ASSESSMENT?


 You will do this task in the classroom.
 Write in your due date as advised by your assessor: ____________________________________

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I GET SOMETHING WRONG?

If your assessor sees that you have not shown appropriate skills or knowledge, they will give you some
feedback and you will need to do the specific task again.

INSTRUCTIONS:

ROLE PLAY 1: WORKING WITH A CLIENT WITH DEMENTIA (SUNDOWNING)

Clients with dementia can experience sundowning, the apparent worsening of confusion in the late
afternoon or early evening. Their behaviour may worsen and they may experience heightened feelings of
disorientation, confusion, anxiety and agitation.
For this role play, you are required to participate in a one-on-one role play with your assessor, or another
person nominated to play the part of the client.
The role play participant will be demonstrating symptoms of a client who is sundowning. You will be
required to demonstrate your ability to calm the client and demonstrate appropriate communication and
support to settle the client for the evening.
The client’s care plan states the following:
 Client is subject to sundowning when she becomes agitated, confused and sometimes aggressive
 When sundowning the client will pace, trying to find the way back home
 Client does not like to be touched while agitated. This seems to resolve once calm.
 Music and reminiscing has been found to be calming

562509486.DOCX CHC33015 CERTIFICATE III IN INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT

 Client usually has a cup of herbal tea in the evening before bed – she is able to drink unassisted.

562509486.DOCX CHC33015 CERTIFICATE III IN INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT


Apex Training Institute Page 44
Your assessor will be looking to see that you:
 Respond appropriately to behaviours of concern and recognise potential triggers
 Show person-centred care when supporting the client
For example, work according to the care plan; treat the client as an individual; stay calm and be reassuring;
etc

 Use the information from the client’s care plan to address the client’s needs
 Use effective communication and interpersonal skills to gain cooperation
For example, be calm and reassuring; be always pleasant; use friendly, approachable and non-threatening
body language;  etc

 Allow the client to demonstrate their distress


 Ensure the safety and comfort of the client
For example, help them to their chair safely; make sure the chair is comfortable for them; make sure they feel
safe and secure.

 Use appropriate strategies to calm the client.


For example, reminiscing; validation; talking to the client about their photos, etc

ROLE PLAY 2: MARTIN

Martin has dementia and requires assistance with personal care. He often displays inappropriate sexual
behaviour. He makes lewd comments when the staff are getting him ready for his shower and often tries to
touch the female staff members when they are showering him.
He always pretends that he is not able to wash himself so that the carers will do it for him.
Martin is able to wash himself, but requires someone with him in the shower to provide assistance.

This role play involves you taking on the role of one of Martin’s carers.
Your assessor will divide you into groups of three or four to discuss strategies for dealing with his behaviour.
You are all members of Martin’s care team and have all experienced his behaviour. You now need to work out
what to do.
In Assessment Task 4 you will need to complete to beahviour management and review plan for Martin. You
should take notes during your team’s discussion.

Your assessor will be looking to see that you:


 Discuss with your team Martin’s behaviours of concern and his possible triggers
 Contribute to your team’s discussion about Martin’s care planning and review
 Discuss with your team how to plan a person-centred approach with the aim of minimising the
behaviours of concern and reduce the impact on client and care staff.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

How the disease typically progresses


Alzheimer's disease tends to develops slowly and gradually worsens over several years. Eventually,
Alzheimer's disease affects most areas of your brain. Memory, thinking, judgment, language, problem-
solving, personality and movement can all be affected by the disease.
There are five stages associated with Alzheimer's disease: preclinical Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive
impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease, mild dementia due to Alzheimer's, moderate dementia due to
Alzheimer's and severe dementia due to Alzheimer's.

MULTI-INFARCT DISEASE

Description:

Multi-infarct dementia (MID), a common cause of dementia in the elderly, occurs when blood clots
block small blood vessels in the brain and destroy brain tissue. Probable risk factors are high blood
pressure and advanced age.

MULTI-INFARCT DISEASE
Symptoms:
- Confusion
Memory problems

Getting lost - in familiar places
Bladder incontinence
Bowel incontinence
Emotional problems
Laughing inappropriately
Crying inappropriately
Difficulty following instructions
Problems handling money

Usual age range of onset: Multi-infarct


dementia (MID) is the second most common cause of
dementia (after Alzheimer disease) in people over age 65. MID affects men more often
than women. The disorder usually affects people between ages 55 and 75.

MULTI-INFARCT DISEASE
a series of small strokes. A stroke, or infarct, is the
Changes that occur in the brain:
interruption or blockage of blood flow to any part of the brain. The term “multi-
infarct” means many strokes and many areas of damage. If blood flow is stopped for
more than a few seconds, brain cells can die from a lack of oxygen. This damage is
usually permanent.
A stroke can be silent, which means it affects such a small area of the brain that it
goes unnoticed. Over time, many silent strokes can lead to MID. Large strokes that
cause noticeable physical and neurological symptoms can also lead to MID.

Apex Training Institute Page 63
MULTI-INFARCT DISEASE
How the disease typically progresses Every condition known to increase the risk of
arteriosclerosis or blood clots also increases the risk of multi-infarct dementia. These are:
smoking
high blood pressure
high cholesterol
Type 1 and 2 diabetes (particularly if badly regulated)
irregular cardiac action (heart beat)
occlusion (closing) of blood vessels leading to the brain.
This means that if arteriosclerosis can be limited in its effect so can multi-infarct dementia.

MULTI-INFARCT DISEASE

What current research is being done?

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) conducts research
related to MID in its laboratories at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and also
supports additional research through grants to major medical institutions across the
country.  Much of this research focuses on finding better ways to prevent, treat, and
ultimately cure the vascular dementias, such as MID.

HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE

Description: Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited disorder that causes degeneration


of brain cells, called neurons, in motor control regions of the brain, as well as other areas.
Symptoms of the disease, which gets progressively worse, include uncontrolled
movements (called chorea), abnormal body postures, and changes in behavior, emotion,
judgment, and cognition.

562509486.DOCX CHC33015 CERTIFICATE III IN INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT


Apex Training Institute Page 66
HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE
Symptoms: HD symptoms fall into three types, being physical, cognitive and emotional.

*Physical symptoms include:


Mild twitching of the fingers and toes
Lack of coordination and a tendency to knock things over
Walking difficulties
Dance-like or jerky movements of the arms or legs (chorea)
Speech and swallowing difficulties.
*Cognitive symptoms include:
Short-term memory loss
Difficulties in concentrating and making plans.
*Emotional symptoms include:
Depression (around one third of people with Huntington's disease experience
depression)
Behavioural problems
Mood swings, apathy and aggression.

Usual age range of onset:


HD typically begins between ages 30 and 50. An earlier onset form
called juvenile HD, occurs under age 20.  Symptoms of juvenile HD differ somewhat from
adult onset HD

HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE
How the disease typically progresses The progression of Huntington's Disease (HD) after a
person is diagnosed can be divided into five (flexible) stages, as described by Dr Ira Shoulson(1):
 Early Stage - the person is diagnosed as having HD and can function fully both at home and
work.
 Early Intermediate Stage - the person remains employable but at a lower capacity. They are
still able to manage their daily affairs despite some difficulties.
 Late Intermediate Stage - the person can no longer work and/or manage household
responsibilities. They need considerable help or supervision to handle daily financial affairs.
 Other daily activities may be slightly difficult but usually only require minor help.
 Early Advanced Stage - the person is no longer independent in daily activities but is still able
to live at home supported by their family or professional carers.
 Advanced Stage - the person with HD requires complete support in daily activities and
professional nursing care is usually needed.
People with HD usually die about 15 to 20 years after their symptoms first appear. The cause of
death is not the disease itself but complications such as pneumonia, heart failure or infection
developing from the body's weakened condition.

Apex Training Institute Page 69
HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE

What current research is being done?

The mission of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is to
seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system, and to use that
knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. A major focus of research on HD
is to understand the toxicity of mutant huntingin protein to brain cells and to develop
potential drugs for counteracting it. Animal models of the disorder allow scientists to study
mechanisms of the disease and to move forward with strategies most likely to work and
least likely to cause harm for individuals. The HD gene discovery is allowing scientists to
recruit individuals who carry the HD gene into clinical studies early — before they become
ill. Researchers hope to understand how the defective gene affects various structures in
the brain and the body's chemistry and metabolism. Since some of the clinical symptoms
in neurodegenerative diseases may be caused by the ultimate malfunctioning of neuronal
circuits rather than by the loss of individual cells, scientists are using cutting-edge methods
such as optogenetics (where neurons are activated or silenced in the brains of living
animals using light beams) to probe the cause and progression of such circuit defects in
HD. Scientists are also using stem cells to study disease mechanisms and test potential
therapeutic drugs.

PICK’S DISEASE

How the disease typically progresses


Like Huntington's disease and Lewy Body dementia, Pick's disease or FTD is
the result of a build-up of protein in the affected areas of the brain. The
accumulation of abnormal brain cells, known as Pick bodies or Pick cells,
eventually leads to changes in character, socially inappropriate behavior, and
poor decision making, progressing to a severe impairment in intellect,
memory, and speech.

PICK’S DISEASE

What current research is being done?


The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a part of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), conducts and supports research about Niemann-Pick
disease through research grants to research institutions across the country. Investigators
at the NINDS have identified two different genes that, when defective, contribute to
Niemann-Pick disease type C.  NINDS scientists are studying the mechanisms by which
lipids accumulating in these storage diseases causes harm to the body.  Additional
research studies hope to identify biomarkers (signs that may indicate risk of a disease and
improve diagnosis) for the lipid storage disorders.

 Parkinson's symptoms, such as a hunched posture, balance problems and
rigid muscles
 Visual hallucinations
 Delusions
 Trouble interpreting visual information
 Acting out dreams, sometimes violently, a problem known as rapid eye
movement (REM) sleep disorder
 Malfunctions of the "automatic" (autonomic) nervous system

DEMENTIA WITH LEWY BODIES

Changes that occur in the brain:LBD is characterized by the development of abnormal


collections of (alpha-synuclein) protein within the cytoplasm of neurons (known as Lewy
bodies). These intracellular collections of protein have similar structural features to
"classical" Lewy bodies, seen subcortically in Parkinson's disease. Additionally, those
affected by LBD experience a loss of dopamine-producing neurons (in the substantia
nigra) in a manner similar to that seen in Parkinson's disease. A loss of acetylcholine-
producing neurons (in the basal nucleus of Meynert and elsewhere) similar to that seen in
Alzheimer's disease also is known to occur in those with LBD.

DEMENTIA WITH LEWY BODIES

How the disease typically progresses

Currently, an estimated 60 to 75% of diagnosed dementias are of the Alzheimer's and


mixed (Alzheimer's and vascular dementia) type, 10 to 15% are Lewy body type, with the
remaining types being of an entire spectrum of dementias, including frontotemporal lobar
degeneration (Picks Disease), alcoholic dementia, pure vascular dementia, etc. LBD is
slightly more prevalent in men than women.
Lewy body dementia affects about one million individuals in the United States alone

PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Description: Parkinson’s disease dementia is a decline in thinking and reasoning that develops in many
people living with Parkinson’s at least a year after diagnosis. The brain changes caused by Parkinson’s
disease begin in a region that plays a key role in movement, leading to early symptoms that include tremors
and shakiness, muscle stiffness, a shuffling step, stooped posture, difficulty initiating movement and lack of
facial expression. As brain changes caused by Parkinson’s gradually spread, they often begin to affect mental
functions, including memory and the ability to pay attention, make sound judgments and plan the steps
needed to complete a task.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE

Changes that occur in the brain:

Because Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s disease dementia damage and destroy brain
cells, both disorders worsen over time. Their speed of progression can vary widely.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE

How the disease typically progresses

1. An estimated 50 to 80 percent of those with Parkinson’s eventually experience dementia as their


disease progresses. Some studies have reported that the average time from onset of Parkinson’s to
developing dementia is about 10 years.

Certain factors at the time of Parkinson’s diagnosis may increase future dementia risk,
including advanced age, greater severity of motor symptoms and mild cognitive
impairment (MCI). Additional risk factors may include the presence of hallucinations in a
person who doesn’t yet have other dementia symptoms; excessive daytime sleepiness;
and a Parkinson’s symptom pattern known as postural instability and gait disturbance
(PIGD), which includes “freezing” in mid-step, difficulty initiating movement, shuffling,
problems with balancing and falling.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE

What current research is being done?

Recent studies following people with Parkinson’s over the entire course of their illness estimate that 50 to
80 percent of those with the disease may experience dementia.
