QUESTION 1
Fill out the table below to show your understanding of the structure and the profile of the aged care
sector.
a) Aged care service delivery models
Briefly describe each of the following:
 High-level residential care: Those who require additional assistance and support in a residential setting
are placed under this category of care. It typically includes things like 24-hour nursing care, assistance
with daily living tasks, medication administration, and specialist medical care. The complex needs of
those who may have severe illnesses or functional limitations are meant to be met by this level of care.
 Low-level residential care: Also known as assisted living or supported housing, it provides less
assistance and support than advanced residential care. It is designed for those who are independent
most of the time but may need assistance with routine tasks like cooking, cleaning, taking their meds
on time, or moving around.
 Collocated residential care: It alludes to the idea of providing different degrees of care within the same
structure or complex. This makes it easy for individuals to transition between different levels of care as
their needs vary over time. For example, a facility may offer independent living, assisted living, and high-
level care in one location.
 Home and Community Care (HACC): Home and Community Care (HACC) works to support people in
continuing to live freely in their own homes and communities for as long as feasible. It offers a variety of
services, including social support, personal care, household help, and short-term care.
 Community Aged Care Packages (CACP): Community Aged Care Packages (CACP) offers assistance to
senior citizens who want to continue living in their own homes. In order to accommodate each person's
unique needs, CACP provides a variety of services, including personal care, nursing care, home
modifications, and help with everyday tasks.
 Extended Aged Care in the Home (EACH): Extended Aged Care at Home (EACH) programs are
specially designed and coordinated care plans aimed at assisting elderly Australians who are frail to
continue living in their homes.
 Consumer-directed care: A method known as "consumer-directed care" gives people authority and
choice over the medical attention and assistance they receive. It gives people the authority to choose
the providers of their own care, the kinds of services they receive, and how much money they want to
spend on it.
 Palliative care: Palliative care is a type of person- and family-centered treatment where the primary goal
is to maximize the quality of life for the patient or family who has an advanced, actively progressing
illness for which there is little to no chance of recovery and who is expected to pass away.
709128838.DOCX
 Respite care: In order to give caregivers a temporary break, respite care provides short-term care for
loved ones. It allows caregivers to unwind, tend to their needs, or simply replenish their energy.
b) Support services
Identify three different types of agencies that can assist with support services for those who are
ageing.
1. Home and Community Care (HACC)
2. Community Aged Care Packages (CACP)
3. Extended Aged Care in the Home (EACH)
Identify three different referral networks that can assist with support services for those who are
ageing.
1. Local Community Centers

2. Healthcare Professionals
3. Non-Profit Organizations
QUESTION 2
a) What does ‘normal ageing’ mean? In your answer, identify three common signs of ‘normal ageing’. How
can attitude and a healthy lifestyle improve the health and well-being of older people?
The aging process that brings with it certain changes to an individual's physical, cognitive, and
emotional characteristics is referred to as "normal ageing". A decline in physical strength and
flexibility, mild memory loss, and changes in vision and hearing are all common signs of "normal
ageing." Older people's health and well-being can be significantly enhanced by adopting a
healthy lifestyle and having a positive outlook. It can lower their chance of developing chronic
illnesses, keep them active, preserve cognitive function, and improve their general quality of life.
b) Explain how ‘ageing in place’ can be a positive approach for older people.
Aging in place can be a good strategy because it allows seniors to continue living in their own
homes and communities as they get older. Respecting the independence and preferences of
senior citizens, this approach advances equity, non-discrimination, and self-determination. It
supports them in preserving their independence, familiarity, and social ties all of which are
essential to their wellbeing. By giving older people's rights and dignity priority, ageing in place
also aligns with the tenets of a human rights-based approach.
c) Provide a definition of ‘active ageing’.
"Active aging" refers to the process of optimizing opportunities for security, involvement, and
health in order to enhance quality of life as individuals age.
709128838.DOCX
d) Explain how the palliative care approach helps people to maintain their comfort and quality of life in the
final stages of their life.
Palliative care offers support, advice, information, connections, and help to people with terminal
illnesses in an effort to improve their quality of life. It also offers emotional and practical support
to friends, family, and caregivers.
e) Identify two common misconceptions about older people and sexuality.
1. They are not interested in or capable of engaging in sexual activity.

2. Older adults don't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases.
f) Identify one issue that could arise in older age due to a person’s gender. Provide an answer for each
gender.
Male- Hypogonadism, erectile dysfunction and enlargement of prostrate

Female- Post-menopausal disturbances, urinary incontinence and breast and lung cancer.
709128838.DOCX
g) List five changes that occur to the human body as it ages.
1. Wrinkles and dryness result from the skin becoming thinner and less elastic.
2. Weakened bones and muscles raise the possibility of fractures and falls.
3. Hearing and vision problems could worsen and necessitate the use of hearing aids or
glasses.
4. As metabolism slows down, weight gain becomes easier and weight loss becomes more
difficult.
5. Cognitive and memory impairments may cause forgetfulness and sluggish thinking.
h) List two psychological changes that can occur due to ageing.
1. Anxiety and depression

2. Aggressive behavior
709128838.DOCX
QUESTION 3
a) Write down your personal values and attitudes when it comes to older people. How do you believe that
your attitudes and values may impact on your work with older people?
My personal philosophies and viewpoints on senior citizens are predicated on non-

discrimination, equality, an empowerment. I believe it's critical to treat elderly people with dignity,
respect, and compassion while also appreciating their unique experiences and contributions.
These attitudes and values influence my work with older people by directing me to provide
person-centred care that respects their autonomy and personal preferences. My objective is to
create a warm, accepting environment that improves their well-being and quality of life. By
supporting their rights and fighting for their empowerment, I hope to make a positive difference
in their lives and make them feel heard and valued.
b) Fill out the table below about myths and stereotypes about older people.
1. Older people find themselves very slow in adopting technological

1. Aging means inevitable decline and loss of abilities.

c) Marginalisation is defined as treating a person or group as insignificant as or less important than others.
Explain how an older person’s quality of life can be impacted by marginalisation/social devaluation.
Social devaluation or marginalization can have a major impact on an older person's quality of
life. It's possible to experience feelings of low self-esteem, loneliness, and isolation. Their
physical and mental health may suffer as a result of having fewer opportunities, resources, and
social networks available to them as a marginalized group. It is critical to combat ageism and
promote inclusivity in order to ensure that older people can live fulfilling and dignified lives.
QUESTION 4
a) Sahra has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. She asks her personal care worker, Glynnis, what
she can expect in her future. Glynnis’s father died of Parkinson’s so she feels qualified to tell Sahra all
about the disease and what she can expect. Glynnis talks about all the things her father experienced.
Sahra is overwhelmed but Glynnis is happy to have provided her with the ‘truth’. Glynnis does not want to
sugar coat it – her father never really knew what to expect and he and the family took his illness very hard.
Do you believe Glynnis adhered to the role and responsibilities of her job? Explain your answer.
Though Glynnis may have good intentions, it is important that personal care providers carry out their
designated tasks. Despite the possibility that Glynnis's father suffered from Parkinson's disease, it's
critical to treat each person's situation with empathy and offer factual, unbiased information. Sharing
personal experiences can be overwhelming, and they might not apply to Sahra's specific circumstance.
Glynnis should focus on providing Sahra with support, information, and connections to medical
professionals who can provide specific details about her unique situation.
709128838.DOCX
b) Imagine a client asked you to get them some over-the-counter medication. You know they are not allowed
to take it and refuse. Your client pushes harder and says it will be fine, they’re okay with it and they won’t
tell on you. What should you do in this situation?
In this situation I can only say-Sorry, but I can't help with that request as it's important to prioritize the client's
safety and follow the rules and regulations in place.
c) Give three examples of how a worker could overstep work role boundaries with clients and their families.
1. Disclosing private or sensitive information about oneself or other people.
2. Having an improper romantic relationship with a client or a member of their family.
3. Acting on the client's behalf without consulting them or getting their permission.
d) Give three examples of the limitations faced by a worker in their role in the aged care sector.
1. Insufficient time and resources to give each patient individualized care.
2. Limitations on the range of services offered, like the inability to prescribe specific drugs.
3. Difficulties meeting intricate emotional and social needs because of time restraints
e) Work health and safety is important regardless of the sector in which you work. List three important work
health and safety responsibilities of an employee in the aged care sector.
1.Ensuring that the surroundings are risk-free and secure for both employees and residents.
2. Adhering to appropriate infection control procedures in order to stop the spread of

disease.
3. Notifying the proper authorities or supervisors of any incidents, dangers, or near misses.
709128838.DOCX
f) Explain your duty of care as a personal care worker.
As a personal care provider, it is my duty to safeguard the respect, security, and welfare of the
individuals I look after. I help them with daily duties, monitor their health, and defend their rights.
g) Explain how a code of ethics guides your work in the aged care sector.
A code of ethics in the aged care sector offers a set of values and guidelines that I adhere to and
that serve as a guide for my work. It bolsters my capacity to make moral choices, respect senior
citizens' autonomy and rights, and promote their well-being.
h) What is the legislation you must adhere to in your state or territory in regards to anti-discrimination?
In Australia, the legislation that addresses anti-discrimination includes the Australian Human
Rights Commission Act 1986, the Age Discrimination Act 2004, and the Disability Discrimination
Act 1992. These laws aim to protect individuals from discrimination based on various grounds,
including age and disability.
i) Provide three examples of ways in which clients in aged care may experience discrimination.
Elderly care clients may encounter discrimination in a number of ways, including age-based
discrimination, obstacles to service access arising from disabilities, and treatment based on
cultural background.
709128838.DOCX
QUESTION 5
a) Assume you are on your work placement and something happens that you really want to tell your friends
and family about. Telling your friends and family means that you would need to discuss a client’s situation
and identifiable information.
Should you share your experiences? Explain your answer.
No, it is not appropriate to share a client's situation and identifiable information with friends and
family. Respecting client confidentiality is crucial in the aged care sector to protect their privacy
and maintain trust.
b) You are completing your assessments for this course and need to document your experiences with three
older people. Two of your clients are more than happy for you to write about them and give consent. The
third client refuses to give consent as they do not want people knowing about their life and their health –
that’s personal information!
List five things you could tell your client to reassure them their privacy will be maintained.
I can appreciate your client's privacy concerns. To reassure them, you could say the following five things:
1. "Your privacy is of utmost importance to me, and I respect your decision not to share personal
information."
2. "Any information I document will be kept strictly confidential and only accessed by authorized individuals
involved in your care."
3. "I will ensure that your personal details, such as your name and specific health information, will be
anonymized or omitted to protect your identity."
4. "I will follow the relevant privacy laws and regulations to safeguard your confidentiality."
5. "You have the right to control who has access to your personal information, and I will honor
your wishes."
c) Identify the legislation you must adhere to in relation to privacy and confidentiality. Provide a brief
description of its requirements.
The Privacy Act of 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) are two pieces of Australian
legislation that deal with privacy and confidentiality. The requirements for the gathering, utilizing,
and disclosing of personal data are outlined in these laws. They stress the significance of getting
permission, protecting personal information, and giving people access to their own data. The
law also requires organizations to respect people's right to privacy and handle personal
information in an ethical manner.
709128838.DOCX
d) Briefly describe the concept of disclosure. In your answer, list two situations where you would need to
disclose/report information a client tells you.
Disclosure is the process of sharing information that you have been entrusted with by a
client. We might be compelled by law to reveal or report information when a client alerts us
to a risk of harm to themselves or others, or when there is a legal obligation to report certain
situations, such as suspected abuse or neglect. It is necessary to strike a balance between
protecting the privacy of the parties involved and honoring the duty to ensure their health
and safety.
QUESTION 6
a) Explain how person-centred care assists older people to feel in control of their care.
Person-centered care emphasizes adjusting treatment to each patient's requirements,

preferences, and objectives. By encouraging their independence, honoring their autonomy, and
involving them in decision-making, this strategy empowers older people. By actively listening to
their opinions, involving them in care planning, and supporting their choices and preferences, it
helps them feel in control of their care.
b) Explain how a worker in the aged care sector can empower their clients.
By advocating for their rights, upholding their autonomy, and including them in decision-making,
employees in the aged care industry can empower the people they serve. This can be achieved
through giving them information and options, actively listening to their needs and preferences,
and assisting them in making decisions about their care. In order to improve their general well-
being, empowerment also entails encouraging independence, respect, and dignity.
709128838.DOCX
c) Explain how disempowerment can impact an older person, and how it can also impact the aged care
worker when providing care.
Disempowerment can have detrimental effects on an older person, including a drop in self-
esteem, a sense of helplessness, and a loss of control. Their standard of living and general
health could be impacted. Elderly caregivers may find it challenging to provide care in an
environment that undermines their authority, which may lead to irritation, burnout, and a
reduction in their level of job satisfaction. Empowering the elderly not only benefits them but also
makes the care worker's job fulfilling and enjoyable.
QUESTION 7
Jeremy has dementia. He now ignores his personal hygiene and is incontinent. However, he will follow
simple instructions.
a) What personal care support does Jeremy need? As Jeremy’s personal care worker, how would you
encourage his participation and independence?
In order to manage his incontinence and maintain his personal hygiene, Jeremy needs
assistance with personal care. As his personal caregiver, I would simplify tasks for him to
understand and follow in order to promote his independence and participation. If needed, I
would give precise instructions with visual cues or prompts. In addition, I would honor Jeremy's
independence and include him in decision-making, letting him decide when appropriate. This
method helps him feel in charge and gives him the ability to take an active role in his own care.
Jaydia is very hard of hearing. He wears hearing aids that assist, but he still has difficulty hearing. He finds
his deafness very socially isolating and tends to withdraw.
b) As a personal care worker, how could you support Jaydia with this problem?
I can help Jaydia as a personal care worker by making sure there is clear communication. When
speaking, I would make sure to turn to face Jaydia, speak slowly and clearly, and use gestures or
visual aids to help her understand. In order to improve communication, I would also strongly
advise using assistive technology, such as communication apps or phones with captions. It's
critical to establish an environment that is encouraging and welcoming for Jaydia, encouraging
social engagement and offering chances for her to connect and engage with people.
709128838.DOCX
Hamish is dying of cancer. There is a treatment available, but he chooses not to go ahead with it saying
that he does not wish to prolong his life. He decides he is going to travel and do some things he has always
wanted to do but never has. He has planned a tandem sky dive and white-water rafting. He seems the
happiest he has been since his diagnosis.
c) How will Hamish’s ‘dignity of risk’ influence the life he has left to him?
Because of his "dignity of risk", Hamish will be able to live the rest of his life on his terms. By
choosing to pursue his lifelong goals and refuse treatment, Hamish is embracing his
independence and making decisions that will bring him happiness and fulfillment. This sense of
agency and choice allows him to live a life that is consistent with his values and desires and
maintain his dignity despite his illness.
QUESTION 8
Participating in the community is important for many people. As people age, community engagement can
often become more difficult.
Think of a person you know who is elderly or imagine yourself as elderly and frail.
a) Identify three types of community/social participation that can encourage older people to engage socially
and undertake their tasks of daily living. List three challenges that could be faced.
As an elderly and frail person, three types of community/social participation that can encourage
me to engage socially and undertake my tasks of daily living are:
1. Senior Centers or Clubs: Joining senior centers or clubs provides opportunities to socialize
with peers, participate in group activities, and access support services.
2. Volunteer Programs: Engaging in volunteer activities allows me to contribute to the
community, stay active, and connect with others who share similar interests.
3. Intergenerational Programs: Participating in intergenerational programs, such as mentoring or
sharing skills with younger generations, fosters social connections and a sense of purpose.
However, there can be challenges:
1. Limited Mobility: Physical limitations or mobility issues may make it difficult to access
community spaces or participate in certain activities.
2. Lack of Transportation: Limited access to transportation can hinder older people from
engaging in community activities and socializing outside their immediate surroundings.
3. Social Isolation: Older individuals may face social isolation due to loss of friends or family
members, which can make it challenging to initiate or maintain social connections.
b) Choose one of the challenges that you identified above. What support could be given to someone so they
can continue their community participation?
709128838.DOCX
Various steps can be taken to assist an individual with limited mobility in continuing to
participate in the community:
1. Accessibility Accommodations: People with limited mobility can navigate community

spaces like clubs and senior centers more easily if the proper accessibility features, such as
ramps, handrails, and elevators, are present.
2. Assistance with Transportation: Providing accessible transportation services or volunteer

driver programs, for example, can help elderly people with limited mobility get around and
participate in community events.
QUESTION 9
a) List three indicators for each type of elder abuse in the table below.
Type of elder abuse Indicators
Physical abuse 1. Unexplained injuries

2. Changes in behaviour
3. Physical signs of restraint
Psychological 1.Emotional Withdrawal

2. Changes in behaviour or mood.

3. Changes in Personal Hygiene
b) If you suspected that a client was being abused, what must you do?
If we have cause to think that a client is being abused, we must take immediate action to ensure
their safety and well-being. We should report our concerns to our supervisor or the appropriate
authorities in line with the policies and procedures of our organization. Never underestimate the
significance of prioritizing the protection and assistance of the individual who may be the victim
of abuse.

QUESTION 10
Harry has a fall during one of his walks. You help him up and assist him back to his room.
He appears to be okay but is shaken.
a) What should you do to report the incident (both verbally and in writing)?
We should verbally report the incident to our supervisor or the assigned incident reporting
person. Give them a detailed account of what happened, mentioning the day, time, and location
as well as any relevant information about Harry's fall and his recovery.
We should complete an incident report form or adhere to the documentation guidelines set forth
by your organization in order to report the incident in writing. Provide all relevant information,
including the incident's nature, any injuries seen, the actions taken, and any subsequent actions
carried out. Ensure that the written report is delivered to the relevant department or person in
charge of incident documentation.
b) Why is it important to report this incident given that Harry does not appear to be injured?
Harry doesn't appear to be hurt, but reporting this incident is still required to ensure that the proper
documentation is completed and that the right steps are taken. By reporting the incident, you can make
sure that something similar doesn't happen again by doing a thorough situational analysis, identifying
potential risks or hazards, and putting preventive measures in place. In addition, reporting protects
everyone's health and safety while fostering transparency and accountability in the healthcare setting.
Elsie saw Harry fall. She comes up to you and starts asking questions about Harry. ‘Why did he fall?’, ‘Why
does he walk so badly?’, ‘Did he have a hip replacement like I did?’
c) How would you respond to Elsie? Why would you respond in this way?
I would respect Elsie's concern for Harry and her interest in him, but I would also prioritize his
privacy and confidentiality. Expressing a sentiment similar to "I know you're interested in Harry,
but please respect his privacy." Let's focus on supporting him and ensuring his well-being." By
responding in this way, I maintain confidentiality, behave professionally, and guide the
discussion toward a more appropriate and courteous way to discuss Harry's situation.

QUESTION 11
a) Provide a definition for each of the care approaches below.
Care approach Definition
Person-centred The goal of a person-centered approach is to tailor care to each patient's unique
approach needs. Ensuring that clinical decisions are informed by patients' preferences,
needs, and values and that patients receive care that is considerate of and
sensitive to their needs.
Enabling/reablement This program uses a relatively intensive, short-term support approach to help
approach people become self-sufficient. When reablement is properly facilitated, notable
improvement can be attained in a brief amount of time.
Rights-based A human rights based approach means that all forms of discrimination in the
approach realisation of rights must be prohibited, prevented and eliminated. It also means
that priority should be given to people in the most marginalised or vulnerable
situations who face the biggest barriers to realising their rights.
709128838.DOCX
b) Explain how each of the care approaches below could be provided by a carer. An example has been
done for you.
Care approach Example of how this can be provided
Person-centred Example answer:

approach We discussed all the care options with Mrs. Brown and answered all the
questions. At the end of the discussion she decided that she would like
assistance to shower but she will continue to clean her teeth and dress herself
unaided. She said that she may need help with buttons sometimes.
Person-centred Example answer:

approach During the morning routine, the carer engages in a conversation with Mr. Smith
to understand his preferences and routines. Mr. Smith expresses that he prefers
to have his breakfast in the garden. The carer respects this choice and arranges
for his breakfast to be served in the garden, ensuring that Mr. Smith feels more
comfortable and in control of his daily routine.
Enabling/reablement Example answer:

approach Mrs. Johnson has recently recovered from a hip injury and needs assistance
with walking. Instead of solely providing physical support, the carer encourages
Mrs. Johnson to participate actively in her rehabilitation. They develop a plan
that includes gentle exercises and gradual mobility improvement. The carer
monitors her progress, adjusting the plan as needed to help Mrs. Johnson
regain her independence.
709128838.DOCX
Rights based approach Example answer:
Mr. Davis has a strong belief in his right to privacy and autonomy. When
planning his care, the carer ensures that Mr. Davis's rights are respected. They
discuss and document his preferences for when and how personal care is
provided, ensuring that any care interventions align with his values and choices.
The carer also advocates for Mr. Davis's rights within the care facility, ensuring
he is treated with dignity and respect by all staff members.
QUESTION 12
Research a best-practice aged care program (for example, you might choose the Eden Alternative or Active
Service Model).
In one to two paragraphs describe the program and why it is ‘best practice.’
Eden Alternative is one of the best-practice aged care programs, in my opinion. The Eden
Alternative is a person-centred strategy that emphasizes fostering older adults' wellbeing and
creating a setting that feels like home. It places a strong emphasis on giving residents a sense of
agency, developing deep connections, and offering chances for development and involvement.
Because it promotes social connections, values the individuality and autonomy of older adults,
and improves their overall quality of life, this program is regarded as best practice. It attempts to
fight against the boredom, helplessness, and loneliness that are frequently felt in traditional care
settings.
QUESTION 13
Mabel lives at home alone. She is a very independent woman and enjoys working as a volunteer in the
community and also runs an art class. Mabel fell and broke her shoulder. She needed surgery and spent
ten days in hospital. Once she was clinically stable, she was worried about how she would manage at
home as she had no family close by. She was told that she would be dependent on support for activities of
daily living for up to two months while her shoulder repaired itself.
Mabel was very worried that she would have to remain in hospital for that time, however arrangements
were made for her to be discharged from hospital and receive assistance at home until she was able to be
independent once more.
A care plan was set up and was planned to go for six weeks at which time it would be re-evaluated. Care
included showering, dressing, cleaning, transport to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and meals on
wheels.
709128838.DOCX
At her review after six weeks Mabel has very happy with her progress. She was going back to volunteer
work one day a week and planning to restart her art classes next week. She had cancelled the meals on
wheels the previous week as she found she was able to cook for herself now. It was agreed that she no
longer needed home support.
Discuss the advantages that a reablement approach had for Mabel compared with more traditional models of
care.
Mabel, there were a number of benefits to the reablement approach over more conventional
care models. First of all, it gave you the opportunity to take an active role in your own healing
and restore your independence by focusing on your strengths and abilities. Second, you were
free to advance at your own speed because the care plan was adaptable and customized to
your unique requirements. Last but not least, reablement's goal-oriented approach made sure
that the assistance you received was intended to help you reach your intended results, like going
back to your volunteer work and art classes. All things considered, the reablement strategy gave
you the confidence to manage your own treatment and was essential to your full recovery.
QUESTION 14
a) Describe the concept of human rights. In your answer, refer to the foundation document developed by the
United Nations that outlines our basic rights and freedoms.
Human rights are fundamental freedoms and rights to which all people are entitled, irrespective
of their nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, or any other status. The United Nations created the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which contains an outline of these rights. It covers rights
like freedom of speech, equality before the law, life, liberty, and security, as well as the rights to
healthcare and education. Every person is guaranteed to be treated with respect and dignity
thanks to human rights.
b) Identify three ways in which a client in aged care could have their human rights ignored.
A client's human rights may be violated in aged care in a number of ways. For instance, if their
independence and autonomy are not upheld, if they experience abuse or neglect, or if they are
unable to get the essential support services and medical treatment. Ensuring that all elderly care
recipients receive dignified treatment and that their human rights are respected is crucial.

709128838.DOCX
CASE STUDY 1: MARTA
Marta is suffering from dementia that is caused by a lifetime of alcoholism. She lives at home with her
husband Bill, who also drinks a lot of alcohol. A HACC worker visits three times a week.
Today her HACC worker notices bruises on Marta’s arms. This is the third time this month that she has had
bruises. When she asks Marta about them she just looks ahead and says nothing, humming in her normal
way. When she asks Bill what happened he says, ‘I dunno – silly old cow keeps falling over. She was
probably drunk again and fell out of bed.’
The worker looks at the bruising pattern. She thinks that it looks more like someone has grabbed Marta
very hard.
1. What signs would the worker be seeing in the bruising pattern that would indicate Marta has more than
likely been grabbed hard rather than falling out of bed?
Marta's bruises may exhibit certain patterns that indicate the worker believes she was likely violently
grabbed rather than falling out of bed. These symptoms could include bruises in the shape of hands or
fingers, bruises that are linear or clustered, or bruises in areas of the body like the upper arms or wrists that
aren't typically associated with falling out of bed. The worker must take these observations seriously in
order to ensure Marta's safety and well-being.
2. If Marta had fallen out of bed, what type of bruising and injuries would the worker expect to see?
The worker would normally anticipate seeing bruises and other fall-related injuries if Marta had fallen out of
bed. This could involve bruises on body parts like the hips, elbows, or knees that would come into contact
with the bed or nearby objects. There might also be abrasions or indications of impact on the skin. To
ascertain the cause and guarantee Marta's safety, it is imperative that the worker closely examines the
pattern of bruises.
709128838.DOCX
3. Explain what action the worker must take in regard to the suspected abuse.
In response to the suspected abuse, the employee must act right away. They ought to report the matter to
their supervisor or another appropriate authority and adhere to the organization's procedures. It is
imperative to guarantee Marta's security and welfare.
4. Identify at least two professional support services Marta could be referred to.
It is possible to suggest two expert support services to Marta:
 One potential resource is a nearby domestic violence hotline or victim advocacy group.
 A social worker or geriatric care manager who can help Marta find the right resources for her
needs and can guide her through the healthcare system. These experts can provide important
support and work to guarantee Marta's security and welfare.
709128838.DOCX
5. The worker no longer feels safe going to Marta’s house. This is very stressful for her as she doesn’t want to
admit that she feels unsafe and insecure. She has been seeing a counsellor for other issues and decides
that she wants to speak to them about how she is feeling.
When talking to her counsellor, what does the worker need to consider in terms of her workplace’s privacy
and confidentiality requirements.
The employee must take into account the privacy and confidentiality policies of her place of employment
when speaking with her counsellor. It's critical that she talk about her emotions in a private, secure setting.
If a counselor shares information, they should respect professional standards and make sure it stays private
unless they are required by law or ethics to share it. The employee will feel more comfortable sharing her
worries and asking for assistance as a result.
6. The worker learns that a colleague has been discussing Marta’s circumstances and her stress reaction in
the lunchroom. There is often staff present who are not directly involved in client care. What legislation
and ethical requirements is the colleague breaching?
By talking about Marta's situation and the employee's stress response in the lunchroom, the colleague is
violating both ethical and privacy laws. They are going against both Marta's and the worker's rights to
confidentiality and privacy regarding their personal information. This conduct is not in keeping with
professional norms and could backfire on Marta and the employee.
709128838.DOCX
7. What should the worker do now that they know Marta’s personal information has been discussed?
The employee should discuss the matter with their coworker in private and voice their concerns regarding
the violation of confidentiality and privacy. They can remind their colleague of the significance of protecting
client privacy and the possible repercussions of improperly discussing sensitive topics. Keeping the
workplace courteous and professional is essential.

CASE STUDY 2: CATHOLIC SERVICE
The Catholic service in your care facility has been changed from Tuesdays to Thursdays – the priest is not
able to attend on Tuesdays anymore.
Unfortunately, the service now clashes with the time that clients are able to go out for coffee in the local
town. The clients are taken to the coffee shop nearby and are also able to walk around the town and do a
little shopping if they wish.
The Catholic clients are very annoyed that they can no longer go on their coffee excursion. It’s not their fault
that the priest has needed to change arrangements!
When something about it is said to a staff member, the staff member says, ‘Well, you don’t have to go to
church! I’m sure God will agree that drinking a delicious cup of coffee is much more important than
listening to the priest. The priest probably won’t care anyway!’
Later that same week, one of the clients overhears a couple of the workers making fun of the Catholic
clients about their situation, and how they are putting a church visit above coffee and shopping.
1. Do you think the Catholic clients are being discriminated against? Explain your answer.
It is true that there is discrimination against the Catholic clients. It is unjust for the employee to disregard
their wish to go to church and give coffee and shopping precedence over their religious beliefs. Making fun
of the Catholic clients makes the discrimination they experience even worse. Everybody has the right to be
respected, and their religious convictions should be upheld.
709128838.DOCX
2. Identify one way that the concerns of the Catholic clients could be addressed to ensure their religious
needs are still respected?
One way to ease their concerns is to come to an agreement that allows the Catholic clients to attend both
the church service and the coffee outing. Perhaps the service could be rescheduled for a time that doesn't
conflict with the clients' coffee date, or perhaps an alternative mode of transportation could be set up to
satisfy their needs. While it's important to honor their religious practices, you should also consider their
desire to participate in other activities well-being and health.
3. What action would you take if someone in the client group tells you they want to put in a formal complaint
regardless of what decision is made about the situation?
If a client says they would like to file a formal complaint, I would listen carefully to what concerns they have
and let them know that their views are taken seriously. I would explain the process for submitting a formal
complaint and provide them with any documents or information they require. Respecting their right to free
speech and carefully considering the issues they bring up are essential.

ASSESSMENT TASK 3: ROLE PLAY
TASK SUMMARY:
In this role play you will need to work with a new client and respond to their goals and
aspirations. You are also required to answer a set of written questions after the role play
is complete.

 Your assessor to play the role of Brenda.
 Access to textbooks and other learning materials.
 Access to a computer and the Internet (if students prefer to type their responses).
WHEN DO I DO THIS ASSESSMENT?

 You will do this task in your workplace or in the classroom (your assessor will determine the most suitable
location).
 Write in the due date as advised by your assessor: _____________________________________
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 TO STUDENTS:
Read the information below about your new client, Brenda. You work for New Greens Aged Care Support.
Before you start the role play, you will need to do some research and gather information about:
 At least two types of local support services you believe would be suitable for Brenda
 Fire safety in the home
BRENDA
Brenda has recently had a knee replacement. She has had a series of falls over time, each one leaving her
more shaken and injured. Brenda wants to remain at home and age in place.
The information you have so far about Brenda is as follows:
 She is 74 years old and is a widower.
 Her husband passed away two years ago. She misses him terribly.
 Brenda has a 46-year-old daughter, Maisie.
 She lives in a three-bedroom house on a decent-sized block.
 She doesn’t know how she is going to be able to keep her house and garden clean and tidy.
 She has a small friendship circle, which consists of her church friends and friends of many years.
 She has lost interest in cooking, and in food in general.
 She is terrified she will fall again.
 She needs to attend physiotherapy twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Maisie can take her on
Tuesdays but works on Thursdays.
 She does not drive anymore and handed in her licence.
 She can’t be bothered cooking meals for herself so she tends to eat sandwiches, biscuits and cake.
 Brenda has a terrible fear of fire because a friend’s home caught fire from a faulty appliance. She tries to
709128838.DOCX
switch everything off at the power switch at night before she goes to sleep, except for the appliances
that must run.
 She is very scared she will eventually be put in a home. She couldn’t bear to leave her family home and
the memories of her husband.
 You work for New Greens Aged Care.
Your assessor will play the role of Brenda. Your job is to talk to Brenda and empower her to have a better
quality of life as she ages in place for as long as possible.
Brenda will respond to your questions and give you further information that will help you during the
discussion.
During the role play, your assessor will be looking to see that you can:
 Communicate with Brenda in a respectful manner at all times
 Develop and maintain trust and goodwill
 Empower Brenda to make decisions to improve the quality of her life
 Apply a person-centred approach
 Respect her spiritual/religious beliefs and her right to express her identity and preferences
 Discuss the physical and social enablers and disablers that are impacting on her at this time
 Talk to Brenda about the impact on ageing on activities of daily living
 Encourage Brenda to take some responsibility for her health and wellbeing and to engage in activities
of daily living
 Explain the fire safety information you have gathered for her
 Talk to Brenda about potential service options that would be of benefit, showing her information you
have gathered
 Talk to Brenda about risks you have identified based on her scenario information and what she has told
you
 Maintain awareness of your own attitudes and values at all times, and avoid passing judgment or
showing disapproval
 Ensure Brenda understands her rights in regard to informed consent.
After the role play you will need to answer a set of questions. Make sure you answer each question in as
much detail as you can.
1. What was your duty of care when advising Brenda of appropriate options?
Hey Brenda! It sounds like you have some valid concerns about aging in place. Don't worry, there are
options to help you stay at home while ensuring your safety and well-being. Have you considered home
care services? They can assist with housekeeping, meal preparation, and even provide companionship. It's
important to explore all available resources to support your independence and address your fears. Let's
work together to find the best solution for you!
709128838.DOCX
2. If Maisie asked you about Brenda’s nutrition and how her health is in this regard, what would you say to
ensure that you are adhering to standard service policy and protocols?
It's critical for me to follow standard service policies and protocols regarding Brenda's diet and health as a
personal care worker. In order to maintain Brenda's wellbeing, I would make sure to abide by the rules
established by my organization and give her the assistance and resources she needs.
I would continue to place a high value on open and honest communication, respect Brenda's autonomy
and choices, and consistently deliver high-quality care in order to keep the trust and goodwill I have built
with her. Our positive relationship will be sustained and trust will be fostered if I establish a strong rapport
and am dependable in my support.
709128838.DOCX
4. Explain why services need to be reviewed as time passes, and why adjustments to services may be
required.
To make sure that services continue to meet Brenda's evolving needs, reviews of services must be
conducted over time. As her circumstances, preferences, or health change, adjustments might be
necessary. We can better meet her needs and give her the best care possible by customizing the services
based on regular reviews. It all comes down to adjusting and ensuring Brenda gets the help she requires.
One of the services Brenda decided to participate in is a fitness program for older people, which is held at
the local community centre. She has found it to be a great help with her knee and she has made many new
friends. Her overall demeanour and self-esteem improved greatly as a result of accessing this new service.
During one of your visits, she tells you she is not going anymore and would like to find another program of a
similar nature somewhere else. While you are more than happy to help meet her wishes, you are worried
about her sudden change of heart towards the program.
She finally tells you that there is a new instructor at the centre who is very impatient and rude and makes
her feel uncomfortable. She said he has made some unpleasant comments about her level of fitness and
suggested she is not suitable for the program. Brenda believes the instructor took an instant dislike to her
because she is much older than the others in her group and her knee injury has made it difficult for her to
do some of the exercises he has in the new program.
The last time she was there, he was very tough on her and called her a silly old woman for complaining that
she was tired, and said perhaps she needed to find another program and instructor that would listen to her
whining. Brenda said that she cried and left, she was so humiliated in front of her friends.
709128838.DOCX
5. What would you tell Brenda about her rights in regard to this situation and what she can do to make sure
the community centre are aware of the instructor’s behaviour?
Brenda It pains me that you felt unsatisfied with the new instructor. You have the right to be treated with
respect and decency. It is essential to report this behavior to the community center so that appropriate
action can be taken. You can speak with the center's management or submit a formal complaint.
Remember that when you work out, you have a right to comfort and support.
Brenda refuses to go back to the community centre and the program. You are disappointed because she
had made such progress and new friends. She doesn’t get to see her friends very often now. Brenda is very
firm about accessing a new fitness program and a new centre. You do not think she is doing the right thing
– she has submitted a complaint about the instructor and the centre is investigating. You think she should
go back and hold her head high.
6. Explain why it is not appropriate for you to put your opinions on Brenda – in your answer, refer to the
principles of person-centred and rights-based care.
Although I can appreciate your disappointment and belief that Brenda ought to return, it's crucial to honor
her choice. Brenda's comfort and well-being ought to come first. Let's help her locate a new exercise
regimen and facility where she feels respected and safe. It all comes down to matching her perfectly.

ASSESSMENT TASK 4: PROJECT
TASK SUMMARY:
This task follows on from the role play at Assessment Task 3. You are to do a safety check
on a real bathroom, assuming the bathroom is Brenda’s, and determine aids and
modifications that should be made to allow her to continue living independently.

 Access to a bathroom.
 A camera (you can use your mobile phone camera).
 Bathroom Safety Checklist (at the end of this task).

If your assessor identifies that you did not complete the checklist correctly or answer the questions correctly,
you will be asked to fix the parts that are wrong and resubmit.
INSTRUCTIONS:
At Assessment Task 3 it was established that Brenda has a fear of falling again. She seems to have great
concern that this will occur in her bathroom, and does not use the bath and feels unsafe in the shower.
For this task, you are required to choose a bathroom and take photos of it. You are to assume that this is
Brenda’s bathroom. You can choose your own bathroom, a bathroom at your RTO, a bathroom in your
workplace or work placement service, etc. Ensure the photos show as much of the area as possible.
Using the Bathroom Safety Checklist (provided), complete a safety check of this bathroom. Remember that
the purpose of this task is to identify aids and modifications that can help Brenda feel more empowered and
safer.
Make sure you do the safety check while you are in the bathroom so you can answer each item.
Complete the questions at the end of this task.

section of tiles to step over, is the
door in good condition, etc.)
Is there room for a seat near the Yes

shower?
Is there room for a seat in the Yes

shower?
Is there a grab rail in the shower Yes

and in the bath?
Is there a grab rail near the toilet? Yes

(If the toilet is in the bathroom,
otherwise note ‘NA’.)
Is lighting in the room adequate? Yes

Bathroom Safety Checklist
Student name: Biplov Shrestha Date: 20/11/2023
Yes/No Comments
Is there adequate heating? Yes
Is there sufficient ventilation to Yes

prevent condensation?
Is there sufficient room near the Yes

shower area for a worker to
provide assistance and support
as required?
Are there any other safety issues? No
When you have completed the safety check, answer the following questions:
1. Is the bathroom currently safe for both Brenda and her future personal care worker? Explain your answer.
Yes, Brenda and her future personal care provider can use the restroom safely right now. The state of the
bathroom is found to be excellent upon completion of the safety inspection. Because it is not slippery, the
bathroom floor is ideal. Because there are no elevated tile sections to trip over and the door is in good
shape, the bathroom entry is extremely safe. There is enough room next to the shower area for a worker to
offer assistance and support as needed, and there is enough ventilation to prevent condensation.
709128838.DOCX
2. List two recommendations you could make so this bathroom could be safer for Brenda. List two aids and
two modifications required to reduce risk of injury or illness.
Recommendation 1:
 Aid 1: Install a robust, rubber-tipped shower chair.
 Aid 2: Put a non-slip bath mat inside the shower or bathtub.
Modification 1: To make the showerhead easier to reach when sitting, lower its height.
Modification 2: Install grab bars close to the toilet and bathtub.
Explanation:
1. Brenda has a secure seat when taking a shower thanks to the installation of a shower chair with
rubber-tipped legs, lowering the possibility of slips and falls. A non-slip bath mat placed inside the
shower or bathtub improves traction and lowers the risk of accidents.
2. Brenda may use the showerhead comfortably while sitting if the height of the showerhead is
lowered, encouraging independence and safety. Installing grab bars next to the toilet and bathtub
gives her the assistance she needs to use the toilet and bathtub securely, lowering the danger of
injury.

ASSESSMENT TASK 5: WORKPLACE PROJECT
TASK SUMMARY:
You are to work with a real aged care client to determine ways in which they can be
empowered and achieve their goals and aspirations.

 Access to an aged care workplace
 Access to an aged care client
 Access to workplace policies and procedures
 Access to aids and equipment
 Permission from your supervisor and the client to undertake this task.

 You will do this task in your workplace. The first part will be completed during one of your assessor’s
workplace visits.
If your assessor identifies that you did not complete all requirements of this task correctly, they will give you
feedback and you will need to redo the incorrect part again.
INSTRUCTIONS:
This task requires you to work with a real client in your aged care workplace. You are to find out what they
would like to achieve to feel more empowered and have a better quality of life (this may be in regard to their
health or social wellbeing, for example). Your role involves responding to their goals and aspirations by
identifying and providing services that meet their needs.
Your assessor will observe your initial interaction with your client.
You are also required to complete the attached Client Report template, and will need your supervisor to sign
off on it. This will need to be completed over a period of time – this is so your client has time to access the
service/s and there is time for them to make changes to services if and as required.
You must get permission from your supervisor to work with the client you have chosen (they may determine
the client isn’t suitable to participate in this assessment, and may suggest another client). Once your client has
been chosen, you must obtain permission from them to participate in this task.
You must not proceed with this assessment until the forms have been signed by your supervisor and the
client who is participating.
Once you have the necessary permissions, you will need to do the following.
1. Meet with your client and learn about their goals/wishes. Your assessor will observe this part of the task.
During this part your assessor will be looking to see that you can:
 Use a person-centred approach
 Respect differences in regard to the client’s cultural, spiritual and social needs and preferences
 Encourage the client to feel comfortable to express themselves and talk openly about their needs,
preferences, wishes, etc
 Avoid imposing your own values and attitudes
 Allow the client dignity of risk when making decisions
709128838.DOCX
 Show that you can establish a trusting relationship with the client
 Empower the client in regard to taking some responsibility in achieving their goals and aspirations to
achieve better health and quality of life
 Discuss any physical and social enablers and disablers the client may have
 Discuss service options that would empower the client
 Discuss the risks involved with ageing, especially those that may impact the services being
considered and the client’s activities of daily living
 Discuss with the client their rights, your service’s complaint mechanisms and how you will ensure
their safety
 Discuss with the client their right to privacy and confidentiality and how you and the organisation
ensure client information is kept private.
You can use the information in the Client Report template below to guide your discussion.
Once the client discussion is over, you will need to work with your supervisor or colleagues to organise
client access to the services discussed.
2. Complete the Client Report over a period of time, reflecting on your experience with your client. Use the
Client Report template provided to help guide you in your response. Make sure you provide as much
detail as you can about each section. Get your supervisor to sign off at the end of the report.

 Social Background: Brenda has a small but devoted group of friends, which includes church
members and lifelong pals.
Diverse Needs:

 She needs social engagement and assistance since her social circle is small.
 Brenda additionally has unique medical requirements because of her knee condition and fear of
falling.
709128838.DOCX
How did you empower your client to express their identity and preferences? Did you at any stage find it
difficult to not put forth your own personal opinion, or did you need to make sure your own values and
attitudes were not coming through during your discussion?
Empowering Brenda:
 During our conversations, I paid close attention to Brenda in order to give her the confidence to
articulate her identity and preferences.

 I avoided putting my own beliefs on Brenda and concentrated on her unique needs.
 I appreciated her religious convictions and saw their significance in her life.
 I made sure Brenda's history and values were taken into account while choosing the best services
and support alternatives.
Maintaining Objectivity:
 I was careful not to force my own beliefs or ideals on Brenda throughout the conversation.
 To comprehend Brenda's viewpoint, I actively engaged in active listening and empathy exercises.
 I ensured Brenda felt at ease speaking her mind by being impartial and nonjudgmental.
709128838.DOCX
How did you consider your client’s background when identifying services?
I considered Brenda's past and any hazards brought on by ageing when deciding what services she would
need. I took into account her past and handled these concerns as follows:
Considering Client's Background for Identifying Services:
1. Cultural Background: Australian culture is Brenda's cultural heritage. To make sure she feels
comfortable and valued, I chose services that adhere to cultural norms and values unique to
Australia.
2. Religious Background: Brenda is a Christian, therefore I looked into services that adhere to
Christian principles. For instance, I thought about the help she needs to attend religious functions.
3. Spiritual Background: I made sure Brenda's proposed services supported her emotional well-
being and spiritual fulfilment in order to respect her spiritual background and ensure that they did
not contradict with her views.
4. Social Background: Brenda had a small social network, so I sought for things that would improve
her relationships with others, including group activities or peer-to-peer trips.
5. Individual Needs and Preferences: Beyond Brenda's history, I took into account her particular
requirements and preferences. For instance, I suggested fall prevention, safety, and mobility
support services owing to her fear of falling.
709128838.DOCX
What risks or potential risks did you discuss with the client that are related to the ageing process? How did
you ensure they understood that these changes can impact their ability to do activities of daily living?
I had a direct conversation with Brenda on Brenda's possible hazards related to ageing. Among the
dangers we covered are the following:
1. Fall Risk: We spoke about Brenda's likelihood of more falls and how they might affect her mobility
and freedom given her history of falls and fear of falling.
2. Nutrition and Health: We discussed the need of eating a balanced diet and the dangers of
continuing to depend on sandwiches, biscuits, and cake for food if she wanted to avoid
malnutrition or other health problems.
3. Isolation: Brenda ran the danger of social isolation because of her tight-knit community. We spoke
about the possible effects on her mental and emotional health of having little social connections.
4. Home Safety: We spoke about the value of having a secure home environment and the dangers
that may arise from clutter or possible hazards in her residence.
I spoke in plain and simple terms, gave pertinent examples, and encouraged Brenda to ask questions to
make sure she understood these hazards. I also emphasised the potential effects these dangers may
have on her capacity to carry out everyday tasks and keep up the kind of life she sought. Brenda was
able to better comprehend the significance of the services and support choices we investigated to
reduce these risks by openly addressing them.
709128838.DOCX
Services provided
What services were identified and organised for your client? Explain how you organised them.
1. Home Care Services: For Brenda, I located and planned home care services. These services
include help with food preparation, housework, and personal care. I organised them by getting in
touch with a trustworthy home care agency that our assisted living facility had suggested. I
managed the first evaluation and organised a regular programme that suited Brenda's
requirements.
2. Physiotherapy: Brenda required physiotherapy to aid in the recovery of her knee. She required
physiotherapy, so I scheduled appointments for her twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Her
daughter Maisie was available to join her on Tuesdays to the sessions, and we set up a
transportation service for her on Thursdays to make sure she didn't miss her appointments..
3. Social Support Group: I suggested Brenda sign up for a neighborhood senior social support group
to address her infrequent social connections. I made arrangements for Brenda to attend the
group's weekly sessions by getting in touch with the organiser. This allowed her to have company
and participate in enjoyable social activities.
709128838.DOCX
What information did you gather and share with your client to help them make informed decisions and to
promote independent living?
To help Brenda make informed decisions and promote independent living, I followed these steps:
1. Assessment: I carefully considered Brenda's needs, preferences, and goals. We considered her
social interests, dietary habits, range of motion, physical condition, and any special cultural or
religious considerations.
2. Talk: During our meetings, I kept Brenda updated on the services that were provided, including
their purpose, benefits, and any associated costs. I ensured she understood the potential outcomes
and limitations linked with each service.
3. Options: I offered Brenda a variety of service alternatives, letting her choose the ones that spoke to
her the most. For instance, I spoke to her about several meal preparation services and allowed her
choose the one that suited her dietary needs.
4. Empowerment: I supported Brenda's right to make decisions that are consistent with her
objectives and ambitions by encouraging her to actively engage in decision-making. I made clear
that she had authority over her care and could change the services provided in response to her
changing requirements.
5. Documentation: I kept thorough records of our conversations, service agreements, and any
modifications to her care plan. This documentation provided accountability and openness .
709128838.DOCX
How did you ensure that your client’s rights were upheld when accessing services?
I ensured that Brenda's rights were upheld when accessing services through the following measures:
1. Informed Consent: Before I scheduled any services, I obtained Brenda's informed consent. I
provided her with concise and understandable explanations of the features, objectives, and
potential outcomes of each service so she could make her own decisions.
2. Confidentiality and Privacy: I respected Brenda's right to privacy and anonymity. I saw to it that
her personal data, including her medical records, were handled discreetly and that only those
needed access to them in order to provide service coordination.
3. Choice and Independence: I gave Brenda the tools she needed to exercise her right to freedom
and choice by giving her a range of service alternatives and letting her choose based on her
preferences and objectives. I emphasised that she was allowed to change the services as she saw
fit..
4. Dignity of Risk: As long as her decisions did not seriously endanger her health and well-being, I
respected Brenda's freedom to weigh the risks involved in her decisions. I respected her autonomy
and assisted her in making judgements based on information.
5. Feedback and Complaints: Brenda was made aware of our facility's complaint procedures, and I
made sure she understood how to express complaints or provide comments on any service. I
reassured her that I would consider her concerns and respond to them right away.
709128838.DOCX
What aids or modifications were used to support the client with independent living?
To support Brenda with independent living, we implemented the following aids and modifications:
1. Non-Slip Flooring: Brenda's house has non-slip mats fitted in strategic locations to lower the
danger of falls, particularly in the bathroom.
2. Grab Rails: To help Brenda feel more supported and stable, we installed strong grab bars next to
the shower and toilet in the bathroom.
3. Meal Preparation Services: Meal preparation services were made available to Brenda, who had
wholesome and simple-to-prepare meals delivered to her house. This lessened her need to prepare
meals, ensuring she could obtain frequent, healthy meals.
4. Transportation Services: We set up transportation services to drive Brenda to her physiotherapy
appointments to address her inability to drive, ensuring she could attend her treatments regularly.
5. Social Support Group: We gave Brenda chances for social engagement and connection by setting
her up with a neighborhood social support group, improving her mental health and feeling of
belonging.
709128838.DOCX
Workplace requirements
Explain the following legal and ethical requirements you considered when working with your client.
 Privacy and confidentiality
 Consent
 Work role boundaries
 Health and safety
1. Privacy and Confidentiality: I protected Brenda's personal and medical information so that she
could remain private and discreet.
2. Consent: Brenda's privacy and discretion were maintained by me by safeguarding her personal
and medical data.
3. Work Role Boundaries: When Brenda required specialised care, I saw to it that I kept within my
purview as a personal care assistant.
4. Health and Safety: Brenda's health and safety came first in all choices and deeds.
709128838.DOCX
Identify five workplace policies and procedures you followed when working with your client and why you
needed to adhere to them.
1. Client Confidentiality Policy: Ensured Brenda's information was protected and only disclosed to
those who were authorised.
2. Informed Consent Policy: I assisted in guiding the process of gaining Brenda's approval for
services and revisions.
3. Complaints Handling Procedure: I gave Brenda a formal means of voicing her concerns or
comments.
4. Health and Safety Guidelines: I aided in identifying and addressing safety hazards in Brenda's
house.
5. Dignity of Risk Protocol: Balanced Brenda has every right to put her general safety at risk.
709128838.DOCX
Explain how you ensured the safety of your client when determining services. In your response, refer to
dignity of risk, WHS and duty of care.
I ensured Brenda's safety when determining services by considering the following:

1. Dignity of Risk: Brenda has the freedom to take risks, therefore I considered the degree of risk
involved in each service or alteration. I looked into other possibilities to reduce risks while still
respecting her decisions if a possible danger presented a serious threat to her health or safety.
2. Work Health and Safety (WHS): I thoroughly evaluated Brenda's home's WHS and took into
account any possible risks that would jeopardise her safety. To reduce the hazards that were
identified, precautions were taken, such as placing grab rails and non-slip mats.
3. Duty of Care: My main responsibility was to make sure Brenda was safe and secure. This required
routine service monitoring and rapid response to any issues or changes in her health. It also
included speaking out for her when required to make sure she had the right care and assistance.
709128838.DOCX
What are your workplace’s procedures when a client has a complaint? Complaints may be in regard to
your own workplace or one of the services they are accessing.
My workplace has a structured process for handling client complaints:

1. Clients can complain to their care provider first.
2. If a customer's problem isn't resolved amicably, they can file a formal complaint.
3. Recommendations are made after complaints are examined.
4. Clients receive feedback regarding the resolution.
5. All data related to complaints is logged.
6. Analysis of complaints forms the basis for continuous improvement.
