Later when she tells a staff member, they say ‘That was very silly of you – what if you had fallen?’  Another staff member tells her ‘Good on you, well done.  I know how careful you always are not to fall – I think you will be fine.’ She decides to do this on a regular basis on Saturday mornings – after all she is an adult and shouldn’t be spoken to like a child.

1. Discuss the care facility’s responsibility to allow Frances’ her dignity of risk in this regard.

Many people are generally confused about many things in their life but they must make decisions on their own after a little bit of research it will improve their overall growth in some way.

Case Study 1 – Claude and Ray

Claude is a new client at New Greens Care Facility. He has come into care as he has had a stroke, and his male partner Ray is no longer able to look after him. Claude is finding it very difficult to adjust to life at the facility. Ray’s sister brings him in to visit Claude once a month as he is unable to drive, but she has never been able to accept their homosexual relationship. After 20 minutes or so she insists on leaving. Claude confides to his carer that he misses Ray terribly. He might as well not come to visit anymore as Ray’s sister glares at them if they so much as hold hands and says they are disgusting. He yearns just to share some love and affection.

1. What effect do you think Claude’s separation from Ray is having on his emotional wellbeing?

He feels really lonely after Ray has left him, he gets emotionally unstable sometimes, generally stressed out and always seems to be bit depressed.

2. What effect do you think Ray’s sister is having on Claude’s emotional and psychological wellbeing?

She is making him feel disgusting and that is ethically wrong, she is trying to make him feel bad which leaves him in disgust, and results in sadness.

3. Suggest at least three strategies that could be put in place to enable Ray to visit so that the pair can enjoy some intimate time together.

1) He can come to meet him when her sister is not there 2) He should express his feelings to his sister and should tell her that this is not at all wrong. 3) Or he should legally marry Claude and live with him.

4. If nothing is done to bring Claude and Ray together, how might this effect Claude’s health over a period of time? Suggest four possible effects.

1) He can go into depression 2) It can affect his mental and physical wellbeing. 3) It can become a reason for his anger and frustration. 4) He can become unstable emotionally.

5. Research community support organisations that Ray or Claude could contact to obtain advice about their problems. List two organisations and provide their web addresses.

1.	LGBTIQ + Health Australia Web Address – support@VAC.org.au
2.	Umbrella Multicultural Community Care Web Address – CVS@umbrellacommunitycare.com.au

Ray and Claude manage to get some time together – in fact, Ray is going to stay overnight. A trundle bed has been wheeled into Claude’s room for him to sleep in.

6. Apart from supplying a trundle bed, what support could you give Claude to provide a suitable environment where they will feel secure, private,and comfortable?

I can provide him with a consultation so that he can become emotionally stable and arrange some activities for him like get together so that his loneliness disappears.

You stop in to check on Claude and Ray and notice that they have set out and lit a lot of candles. While you think that is very romantic, you ask them to extinguish a number of candles, specifically those on the window sill and some on the floor. Ray starts to put them out but Claude asks you why they need to.

7. Explain what you would say to Claude, taking into consideration your organisation’s relevant workplace procedures. In your response, including the name of the organisation’s procedures that you would follow.

The candles on the window sill can burn the curtain so it a become risky for them both. And the wax that will melt on the floor won’t be easy to remove.

8. Claude asks you what else they could use instead of all the candles. Identify two alternatives that would meet workplace procedures.

1) They can use fairy lights instead of it 2) Or can use electric candles

You tell Claude and Ray you are finishing up your shift,and wish them a lovely evening. About 15 minutes later you leave the building and head to your car. You glance in the direction of Claude’s windows and can make out the flicker of candles on the window sill.

9. What should you do, based on your workplace’s procedures?

I will tell the guards to visit them and ask them to remove that candle from there. or I will call them personally and ask them to remove it from there.

Claude is much happier now Ray is able to visit regularly. However the other day they got a bit carried away in the dining room and offended some of the other residents who complained that their behaviour was putting them off their dinner!

10. How would you deal with this issue?

In this case, I will explain to the guest that there is nothing bad in it and I will explain them the condition of Claude. I will tell them that it is not illegal according to the law

11. Given that your own values and attitudes about sexuality may be different than that of your clients or your co-workers, how do you go about making sure you do not impose your views onto others?

It can be concluded in the report which can be provided to the physiotherapist and supervisor that will help them to keenly monitor her progress. It can be used to motivate other people who are facing the same problem.

Harry has just started leaving the residence once per month for a day to visit his daughter and her husband on her farm. They come and pick him up and then bring him back after the day is over. You notice after one of these trips that he has bruises all over his upper arms. You ask him how he got the bruises and he just shrugs it off and says it’s nothing, he hasn’t even noticed them. Harry is rather melancholy but you can see he is upset and he keeps rubbing the bruises.

10. What will you do in this situation and why? Use your organisation’s policies and procedures in this case to guide your answer. In your answer, please identify the name of the organisational procedure you would follow.

1) in this scenario I will note down all the things in the observation report 2) Talk about it in detail with the manager 3) After this we will call a consultant and a doctor to arrange a counselling session for billy. 4) We can ask them to motivate billy by telling him the stories of transformation carried out by other people like him and after that we can motivate him by telling the need to get fit.

Billy’s mother tells you that Billy has been walking awkwardly and she has seen him rubbing his feet and ankles. She asks you what you think could be wrong and what she can buy at the chemist to make things better for him.

11. Considering your work role, explain how you would respond to Billy’s mother in this situation and what you need to do with this information.

We will explain to her that it might be due to heavy training sessions Or she can consult with the doctor first and should buy medicine according to his recommendations, because without knowing the actual fact we cannot buy medicine of our choice because it can show adverse effects on billy’s body.

ASSESSMENT TASK 3: ROLE PLAY

Task Summary: In this task you are required to participate in a role play with your assessor.

What do I need in order to complete this assessment?

• Access to textbooks and other learning materials
• Space for a role play.

When do I do this task?

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

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

If your assessor identifies that you have not demonstrated the required skills, techniques and knowledge of this task, they will give you feedback and ask you to do the task again.

Instructions:

For this task, you will participate in a role play to demonstrate that you can support independence and wellbeing. Your assessor will play the role of Cathy, and you will play the role of a leisure and lifestyle assistant.

You are a leisure and lifestyle assistant at a disability support centre. One of the people you provide care for is a 19-year-old named Cathy. Cathy has a spinal cord injury and is paralysed from the waist down so she makes use of a powered wheelchair. Before Cathy had her accident, she loved dancing and she was involved in dancing competitions. Immediately after Cathy’s accident one year ago, she suffered terrible depression at the thought of never being able to walk, or dance, again. She lives at home with her parents but she visits the disability centre twice per week in the afternoons to socialise with other people in a similar situation to her own, and to engage in activities. Cathy enjoys most of the activities she participates in at the centre. She is not so fond of the arts and crafts activities on a Wednesday, but this is the only class offered during the time on Wednesday she visits the centre. She especially loves the physical activities which are tailored to upper body fitness and ball sports, however, she only attends one of these classes per week and the centre runs three. Recently however, she has confided in you that she would love to find out about wheelchair dancing as a sport. She has been struggling to adapt to her new life since the accident and has been struggling with her depression on and off. The fact that she is not playing competitive sports anymore affects her greatly.

Do some research so you can provide some information to Cathy about where she can participate in wheelchair dancing in your local area (use the nearest city location if you are in a rural area) and have it ready to bring to the role play.

Cathy has asked you for help in accessing information about wheelchair dancing and will need to take some form of information with you like an iPad, laptop, brochures or printed information. You are going to sit in the lounge of the centre and discuss options for her together.

Your assessor will provide you with a date and time for the roleplay. Meet with your assessor who will play the role of Cathy, you will play the role of the leisure and lifestyle assistant. You need to ensure the environment is suitable for Cathy and her wheelchair and deal with any potential hazards before the time.

During the role play your assessor will be looking to see that you: §     Promote participation in activities that suit Cathy’s interests and needs §     Support her to discuss her own preferences and express her identity without imposing own viewpoint §     Consider her needs, stage of life, development and strengths §     Encourage her to continue building her independence §     Support her to identify and acknowledge her own strengths and manage her own activities §     Promote self-esteem and confidence §     Use supportive and effective communication

You will need to discuss Cathy’s preferences, ideas and various options with her. Take notes during the meeting and plan to set some short-term and long-term goals with Cathy. Think about her interests and how these could be better catered for when she visits the centre.

After the role play, your assessor will ask you some verbal questions related to the role play.

What do I need to hand in for this task?	Have I completed this?
You need to submit information you have researched about wheelchair dancing to your assessor during the role play	o
