 Answer the questions that were incorrect verbally.
INSTRUCTIONS:
CASE STUDY 1: CHEN

Chen is 95 years old. He migrated from China many years ago but has lived largely in the
Chinese community.
Chen has dementia and is unable to remember any English words. Chen is now in residential
care as he is unable to look after himself.
Chen has two daughters and a son who come to see him frequently. They feel guilty that they
cannot look after Chen at home but they each have jobs and do not feel able to look after him.
There is one Chinese worker (Mei) who speaks Mandarin – Chen’s first language.
32
1. How do you think Mei’s involvement in Chen’s care team will benefit Chen?
2. List three types of information that Chen’s family could provide to help staff
understand Chen’s individual preferences and practices.
33
You are member of Chen’s care team. You do not speak Chinese. You find out from the family
that Chen liked playing Mahjong, but he no longer remembers how to play.
They bring a mah-jong set in for him and you notice he likes to play with the pieces and look at
the symbols. He rubs the pieces between his fingers and sets them out in front of him on his
table.
3. Why do you think Chen gets pleasure from the mah-jong set, even though he can no
longer remember how to play?
4. Mei isn’t always on shift. List two things you could do to interact with Chen using the
mah-jong game as a resource.
34
5. Describe two ways in which you can communicate with Chen when there is no one
available who speaks Chinese.
6. Respect is a very important thing in the Chinese culture. Lists two ways in which you
could demonstrate your respect of Chen.
35
He is usually quite a happy person. Today he is distressed, restless and agitated. He gets up,
then sits down, then gets up again. He is wringing his hands and saying the same thing over
and over. He does not seem to notice you.
7. What action should you take?
Mei is brought in to talk to Chen. Apparently he is very distressed as he thinks his children
should be looking after him. He thinks they have deserted him for good – he has forgotten they
visited yesterday and will be coming again tomorrow to see him.
8. What support can Mei give to Chen?
Chen’s family are very distressed that he was so upset and thought that they had deserted him.
They would never do that and feel very guilty that they have put him into care.
They have asked that, should he get distressed again, the facility should ring them and one of
36
them will come straight over.
They ask about how the dementia is likely to progress and what will happen to their father.
9. What action should be taken so everyone knows to call the family if Chen gets
distressed?
10. What support can you give to Chen’s family to help them deal with their guilt?
37
11. List two places where Chen’s family could find information about dementia and how
it is likely to progress.

CASE STUDY 2: FRANCESCA
Francesca is 43 years old. She has young onset dementia caused by a lifetime of alcohol and
drug abuse. Francesca lives at home with her sister and care workers visit once a week at check
how Francesca is.
Today her sister tells the carer that she is worried about Francesca. She has a new boyfriend
who is known to be a heavy drug user. He comes round often and hangs around with Francesca.
Francesca is happy to have the attention and has started dressing very promiscuously.
There is money disappearing from Francesca’s bank account. When Francesca’s sister asks her
about it, she can’t remember where the money has gone. She suspects that the boyfriend is
conning it out of her so he can support his drug habit.
She is also afraid that he is giving her drugs as she often seems very spaced out after he has
been to visit. She suspects they may be date rape drugs. She understands that Francesca is
entitled to her own personal life, but is very concerned about what is happening.
1. List two types of abuse that may be occurring here.
39
12. What actions must the worker take to report the suspected abuse?
