Blocking doors can interfere with people escaping a fire zone to safety. Putting things in the way of certain doors closing can interfere with fire containment and in doing such can put more people in harms way. These are all rules that people do not understand and therefore argue with if it is not explained to them or not enforced properly. There are also rules for people to have TB tests done frequently. This ensures that new employees in a healthcare facility do not bring in the disease to pass on to the patients that are more susceptible to it.
This could jeopardise the staff members job as they weren’t doing their job properly and they weren’t following policy and procedure, and it could harm the client as they might suffer consequences of taking the drug, such as overdosing, or they could be allergic to it without realising. Controlled drugs administered by 2 members of staff
Another hazard in this section is residents becoming frustrated and starting to argue with one another. The delights care home could minimize this from the start when they are placed into smaller groups so there is less chance of them becoming frustrated with one another. Entering & leaving the bulding
This is definitely unethical. When more than a minor medical issue arises, the ethical thing for the physician assistant to do is take the patient to a practical setting and take the normal course of actions (2013). Joe is breaking this by taking kits out of the practice area into his own home without consent of the physician or the facility as a whole. The guidelines go over the importance of not providing informal care, which is exactly what Joe is doing in this situation. He is not only informally treating and collecting specimen from his daughter, but he is also not documenting any of the treatments that he is doing.
The organisation could also be fined by not complying with the law which would have a negative effect with exposure in the media. Organisations would have a reduction in patient and public confidence and so their reputation would be affected and patients would choose to have their care else where. Members of staff would also have a decrease in confidence with the organisation and their stress levels will increase. On the individual: This could cause further complications to their primary condition increasing their recovery time and possibly giving them a lengthy stay in a hospital setting. Patients may be forced to stay off work which will lead to a loss of earnings putting more stress on the individual and their families, possibly leaving a patient needing treatment for depression.
They can also be discriminated against by people overwhelming them too much. For example when someone insists on helping them with everything because by helping them with everything they are still being treated as if they are something less than human. Still they are being treated as obviously different and in doing so it can also make them offended and lose confidence in the things they are capable of doing themselves. Individual with additional needs are also not employed because of their disability as they are seen as less skill people. This can be a barrier for them because it means they cannot achieve their own dreams and goals in life as well cannot be independent and control over their life.
If medicines are left lying about then elderly people who are confused may take the medicines. This could lead to serious consequences for example if they overdosed on a certain drug they could die or become very ill. So this doesn’t happen all medicines and drugs should be locked away and only staff has the key. If doors/gates are left unlocked elderly people who maybe suffer from dementia will be able to get out and wander the streets. This could cause them to get lost or maybe have an accident on the street such as walking into the road.
This hazard is not only hazardous to young service users, but also, elder service users as well. The way in which it could be hazardous to young service users is that they may pick this piece of glass up due to evidently not being aware of the dangers it could cause. As a result of this, it is highly likely that they will cut themselves. Some young children may even place it into their mouth which is evidently highly hazardous as it could lead onto more serious injury. The way in which it could be a hazard to elder service users from Peace Haven House is that they may be partially visually impaired which would evidently result in them not being able to notice it.
Poor communication between the service user and carer is a factor, he or she may be unable to express their concerns or opinions. If an individual is not mobile or bed bound, they are frail and powerless to defend themselves. Someone who suffers with dementia and is aggressive may be susceptible to abuse as care staff may not know how to deal with this and become frustrated and lash out. Question 2a (Weighting:
In a secondary school classrooms are used for specific lessons for example, art rooms, kitchens for home economics, science laboratories, music rooms etc. in primary settings this is not possible due to size and financial constraints. So when planning an activity it is necessary to make sure the environment chosen is suitable for the purpose. There needs to be suitable storage for equipment to be kept safely, containers need to be labelled and everything needs to be easily accessible. The top of cupboards must not be used for stacking any equipment as there is a risk of it falling down and causing injury.
