As described earlier in my reflective account (ci) a good example of practice which excludes the individual and is discriminatory is being ignored whilst having a bed bath – the lack of privacy and dignity had a lasting effect on me. Patients of a different culture/religion could be excluded. They could be discriminated against because the carers don’t believe in or simply don’t understand their faith. They may discriminate against this person because or they don’t respect the way they dress or don’t provide the right food for that religion. Avoiding people who are different, such as those with a mental/physical disability or those of a different culture, is classed as discriminatory practice.
Those within the society that were sick would be seen as a barrier that stops society from progressing. These people were also seen as deviant & their role in society was labelled the ‘sick role’ which also came with rights & responsibilities. If you were declared sick you were immune from going to: school, college, work and social & family obligations. This also made responsibilities for the family as Parsons believed it was a key function and their duty to care for the other sick or dependent members of the family. However, just because one is labelled ‘sick’ in society this does not mean they are free of responsibilities.
Unit 4222-224 Support individuals to manage continence Understanding factors that affected the management of continence 1. Difficulties with continence Low self-esteem Lack of dignity A feeling of loosing independence Affecting employment Embarrassment Feeling of isolation Depression Distress Individuals may avoid getting help with there incontinence due to embarrassment discussing the subject.

Individuals may reduce there intake of fluids or food to reduce the risk of a “accident”, this in time can result in infections
This evil aspect could be for the patient or for the doctor, The patient can be very upset because the information was not provided when it was suppose to be provided, and he can take action against the doctor, that can lead to the doctor having legal problems in the future and also the credibility of the doctor will not be the same. I think that both Augustine and Aquinos would agree with the doctor. These philosophers are believers that you should let people take their own deception. These philosophers would disagree with the doctor’s decision because the doctor would be violating his own conducts on ethics and moral. Also another points is that the doctor will be violating the
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.
We should discuss the implications of them not carrying out personal care like infections and the effects e.g. we have a Service User that is prone to his skin breaking down and poor hygiene would not be a good contributing factor to this. Explain to them the social implications of not having a good personal hygiene like not brushing their teeth i.e. results in bad breath and people not wanting to be near person that smells. I could look at getting information leaflets or websites that
97 If Jonas were able to get a family, he would have to hide things from them. Some people might say this, “Very frightening. I can’t even imagine it. We really have to protect people from wrong choices.” pg. 93 Hisjob was to hold memories to protect the people from choosing wrong, but it stops him from living like the others do.
Bullies may use bad personal hygiene as a way of abusing their victims, using social embarrassment as a weapon.Poor personal hygiene can have significant implications on the success of job applications or the chance of promotion; no company wants to be represented by someone who does not appear to be able to look after themselves.Many sufferers of mental illnesses like dementia or depression may need extra support and encouragement with their personal hygiene. Their carers should make sure that they have everything they need and assist them when permitted and when
M1: Assess the effects on those using the service of THREE different discriminatory practices in health and social care. Marginalisation: treat a person or group as insignificant Marginalisation: GP Surgery An individual using this service may feel that their GP is treating them unfairly because of their sexual orientation. This could have many negative impacts on the individual, such as: feeling upset, angry, worthless, lowered self-esteem, they could feel as though they are losing their self-identity. All of the above could create a barrier for the individual to visit the GP because of the discrimination they are facing. They won’t be able to share their problems with their GP because the GP doesn’t consider the individual as important.
The patient is unable to obtain the necessary drugs or materials by themselves. It involves one person facilitating the death of another. This is a concern because it can lead to abuse, exploitation and erosion of care for patients. The argument for assisted suicide and euthanasia is that the medical cost can be reduced which could give the family more in the estate. The time the nurses and doctors spend with this patient could be spent with other patients.
