QUESTION 1
Provide a definition of each of the following:
 Person-centred practice

The person with incapacity is at the heart of person-centred decision-making and care planning. Its goal is
to figure out what each person requires and desires in order to live a happy and healthy life.

 Strengths-based practice

It is a methodology that introduces a specific systems theory, the theory of living human systems (TLHS),
and its systems-cantered application. In both therapeutic and organisational settings, it aims to deal with
individuals as well as groups as a whole.

 Active support

Active support is a type of person-centred care that enables disabled and elderly persons to participate in a
variety of programmes.

QUESTION 2
Explain the following types of person-centred approaches.

 PATH – Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope

PATH is a people-centered planning tool that uses graphic facilitation of ideas to help people establish a
clear vision and achieve achievement. When utilised to create a vision or a good future for a person with a
disability, as well as providing individualised assistance and resources, this strategy is extremely beneficial.
As a result, it is a goal-oriented procedure that can also be used to resolve conflicts.

637396592.DOCX

 MAPs – Making Action Plans

This is a unique way of arranging things. People and organisations that use MAPS help people focus on
creating a life story based on their personal aspirations. Following an analysis of the target person's dream
and interests, the team begins to plan and plot how to realise it.

 PFP – Personal Futures Planning

Personal Futures Planning emphasises what a person CAN achieve rather than what she CANNOT do.
Instead of relying on written reports from professionals, it also uses talks with family and other people in the
person's life to guide the planning.

637396592.DOCX
© 2015 Eduworks Resources, a division of RTO Advice Group Pty Ltd Page 11
 Circles of Support

A circle of support is a group of people who come together to help a person with a disability explain,
advance, and defend their views. They assist the handicapped person in making decisions, planning, and
achieving personal goals. This is a chance for people with diverse perspectives and opinions to come
together and support the person in question in fulfilling their potential. Any age group can form a circle to
assist with things like starting school, obtaining a job, joining community groups, and pursuing a passion,
among other things. These bring out the best in others, benefiting both the centred person and the rest of
the circle.

QUESTION 3
Describe what the term ‘self-directed support services’ means.

The self-directed methodology places the person with a disability or age in the centre and holds them
responsibility for the planning, execution, and coordination of the services and supports they require, to the
extent that they are competent of doing so. This is an approach that allows people with disabilities and their
families to take control of their disability, as well as the supports and administrations available to them, in
order to achieve positive outcomes in their life.

637396592.DOCX

QUESTION 4
Describe the concept of ‘self-determination’.

Self-determination refers to a person's ability to direct their actions and their lives. This implies that instead
of relying on others and allowing others to dominate their lives, a person takes charge of their own destiny.
They make things happen that make their life better.

QUESTION 5
Part of your role and responsibilities when providing individualised support is to meet your service’s
documentation requirements.
What documentation are you required to complete as part of your work in providing client support? Provide at
least three examples and explain the purpose of each one.

Example 1: Notes on communication =It entails a methodical and continual process of telling, listening,

record to capture certain aspects of his or her patient's treatment.

Person-centred model Focusing on the areas of care, support, and therapy that are most important to
the patient, their family, and carers is what a person-centred approach entails.
So, before even thinking about measuring, discover what is most essential to
them without making assumptions.

Service delivery Any relationship with the government in which individuals, residents, or
corporations seek or supply data, manage their affairs, or complete duties can
be regarded as service delivery. These services must be delivered in a timely,
consistent, dependable, and courteous manner.

637396592.DOCX

interdependent problems in order to improve services for children and families
is known as the inter-agency approach.

Charity model The issue is the charity model, which is depending on other people's feelings
to help with a charity or welfare.

Medical model The medical model is a biopsychosocial model that analyses a patient's
problems and matches them to a diagnostic construct using pattern
recognition of clinical variables. Diagnostic frameworks make it possible to
explore, share, teach, and learn critical clinical knowledge in order to influence
clinical decision-making.

Rights model
The rights model focuses on acquiring access to the privileges that people
would have if they weren't disabled. A focus on rights does not seek
fundamental societal change; rather, it aims to make changes to the
current system.

CASE STUDY: TULLY

Tully is a 75-year-old female who has an intellectual disability. She enjoys art, reading and music.
She is not overly social and tends to spend time alone privately completing recreational activities. She has
been a smoker for 40 years and usually smokes up to 8–10 cigarettes a day. She is able to go for walks for
short periods at a time only.
Tully is sensitive to loud noises in the environment, which causes her to become quite anxious and
stressed. Being anxious or stressed causes Tully to smoke more frequently through the day.
Tully’s father passed away from lung cancer due to smoking when she was younger, so one of her goals is
to cut back on smoking. She is hoping to smoke only 2 cigarettes per day.

1. Imagine you were Tully’s support worker. Explain how you would do the following:
 Interpret and clarify your role in putting in place an individualised plan for Tully, and why.
 Who you would work with in putting together the individualised plan and why.
 Who you would discuss issues with if you encountered situations that were beyond your skills,
knowledge or area/s of responsibility, and what the role of that person would be?
 Ensure that Tully understands her rights as a client and what she can do if she feels her rights are
being infringed upon.

 As the patient's health educator and caregiver, I will be able to show nursing treatments that will
help the patient quit smoking to the best of my ability, as well as provide opportunistic, brief health-
promoting dialogues and tailor the advice to the patient's needs.
 Because the patient's condition involves the majority of her smoking behaviour, I will enlist the help
of the psychiatric department physician to guarantee that the plan is implemented appropriately and
efficiently.
 Nonetheless, a psychiatrist and other health care specialists who specialise in this field will serve as
my mentor and counsellor, assisting me in fine-tuning my ideas to better suit the patient.
 She has the right to speak up about anything that upsets her, regardless of the circumstances.

2. Explain how you would work with Tully to determine strategies to help her achieve her goal. In your
answer, identify at least three strength-based activities that would assist in promoting her independence,
and how you would ensure Tully is able to make her own informed decisions.

The three-strength based are.

1. Using music therapy to help Tully's ability to make her own informed decisions can be ensured by
listening to and responding to the patient's thoughts, worries, and expectations around their health.

2.Give her the opportunity to study books and create art.

3.Giving her deep breathing exercise.

3. Identify at least two other health professionals who may be involved in supporting Tully to achieve her
goal.

The two other health professionals who may be involved in supporting Tully to achieve her goal

are.

1. Psychiatrist

2. GP

4. It’s two weeks later and Tully tells you that she wants to go for a longer walk today, down a particular tree-
lined street that she finds relaxing. Her confidence has been building as she has noticed progress in her
general health and wellbeing.
You know that the end of the street has some roadworks being done on it and there are a few noisy trucks
and machinery. You tell Tully no, it’s not a good idea and explain why. She becomes frustrated and upset
– she was so looking forward to the walk and thinks she can deal with the noise if she knows it’s coming
and she can approach it slowly.
Have you done the right thing for Tully? Explain your answer. What other options could you have
suggested?

Yes, I was correct in telling her not to go since there would be roadwork and it would be noisy, and
she is noise sensitive. "There is road maintenance at the end of that road, so it might not be a good idea to
walk towards that road," I might remark instead of "No, that's not a good idea." She was willing to walk
there, despite appearances. Maybe I should have suggested that we stop halfway through so she wouldn't
be bothered by the noise, or that we walk to a different street.

5. It’s many months later and Tully has successfully quit smoking. She managed to get down to two
cigarettes a day, and then decided to quit completely. She is ecstatic at exceeding her original goal!
Explain how you would support Tully to maintain the strategies and skills she learned to help her quit
smoking, to ensure that she does not ‘fall off the wagon’ and start smoking later down the track.

The following are some of the ways I would encourage Tully to keep the methods and skills she learned to
help her quit smoking in order to avoid falling off the wagon and resuming smoking in the future. I'll extend
a heartfelt congratulations on her smoking cessation. I'll tell her to forget about the cigarettes and focus on
her improved health as a result of quitting. I merely talk about the advantages of not smoking. I'm going to
show her a documentary on the advantages of quitting smoking. I'll let her know that our blood oxygen
levels have returned to normal, and our carbon monoxide levels have been cut in half. I'll also inform her
that we're planning a trip to the Bahamas.

6. You go on leave for several weeks and when you return you notice that Tully’s stress and anxiety levels
seem to have increased somewhat. She also appears to have put on some weight. There are several
unfinished craft activities put aside and she appears to have no interest in completing them.
What appears to be the problem and what might be the risks involved? What would you do in this
situation?

I'll reassess the patient to see what's bothering her so I can adjust or restart her treatment plan so she may
live a healthy and fulfilling life.

What do I need to hand in for this task? Have I completed this?
