Task 1a • The importance of carrying out a detailed body analysis & relevant tests is so that you can pick up on any posture faults, avoid any areas which may be contra indicated and you are able to give them information on ways to improve their posture. It is important to carry out relevant tests such as cold or hot and sharp and blunt so that you are sure the client can feel the difference so they can tell you if they want the machine higher or lower and can feel the full benefit. This also prevents you from harming your client if they can feel something within the treatment which feels painful. • The importance of positioning the client correctly so they are as comfortable as possible and you aren’t causing them any pain or injury. It is important to be positioned correctly as a therapist so you prevent yourself from pain or injury if you consistently and positioned correctly this can result in repetitive strain injury.
You MUST always gain consent. Aiv) Care workers must always gain consent from the clients when providing care because it is the law – Human Rights Act, care workers should always respect the clients wishes. Av) There are different ways care workers could gain consent from the client, you could ask them, if they are unable to tell you they could write it down if the can do this, there facial expressions could help you especially if you know your client, and also they might use sign language. Avi) If the client is unable to give consent, care workers should check the care plan first, because it could be that the client is unwell or maybe have a UTI (Urinary Tract
1.5 Where possible the least restrictive interventions should be used as they can sometimes escalate the problem rather than defuse it. Using the least possible restrictive intervention will prevent further harm to any individual involved and will avoid the intervention being deemed as abuse. 1.6 In order to safeguard both the staff member and individual during a restrictive physical intervention, they must only be carried out by a trained member of staff. It must be reasoned that all other measures have been attempted and failed before carrying out restrictive intervention. If at
The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts. Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources: 1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Plus with full text for your search. 2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside "Research Article" in the "Limit your results" section.
If no consent is given you cannot proceed with the care. It is illegal to put pressure on the person and go against their wished. When supporting a colleague with regards to consent of an individual it is important to ensure that the colleague understands that the decision of the individual is final. I would advise the social care worker to provide the individual with all the information regarding the decision (positive and negative) and in a way that best suits the individual. I
Chapter 2: Principles of Autonomy and Informed Consent The principle of autonomy states one shall not treat a patient without the informed consent of the patient or his or her lawful surrogate, except in narrowly defined emergencies. The patient’s free will is exercised even though they may not demonstrate the capacity of developing their own decisions. The health care professional, by irrefutable law, is required to respect patient’s rights while providing a clear understanding to the consequences of their decisions. Although some patients are legally incompetent they are still ethically competent to make decisions about their treatment. The informed consent presents the treatment information in an understandable manner in an effort to avoid any misunderstandings leading to a possible delay in care.
Abuse victims request help but refuse to understand depths of help they receive. Victims can put therapist in danger by agreeing to the abusers request. The duty to keep the client and therapist safe has compromising influences from the abusers actions. Clients need to understand cutting all contact with abusers can have an effective outcome on treatment and keep individuals safe from abusive
This includes any verbal, written, telephonic, audio or video recorded information. Both ethical codes assert that the counselor and the clients should agree and set the limits of confidentiality. The counselors are also not permitted to share clients’ confidential information among themselves unless the client has given his or her consent. Both ethical codes also provide that records of the counseling proceedings should be kept in a secure location where they will not get into the wrong hands. One major contrast in the area of confidence is that; while the ACA ethical codes allow the counselor to immediately disclose client’s information on the issue of a subpoena, AACC ethical codes on the other hand provide that the counselor shall not disclose the information immediately but shall first give the client an opportunity to consult with his or her
2007). These principles work in collaboration with each other for the patient, which endeavours to do the best in order to protect the patient from any harm (Dimond, 2008). However, Pozar (2006), Griffiths and Tenghah (2008) argue these two principles should outweigh respect for autonomy in life threatening situations, except when a competent patient is able to comprehend the life-threatening risk without the influence of others, then legally and morally professionals must respect the patient’s right to autonomy. Yet with regards to justice there is an obligation to treat people fairly and not to judge or discriminate against them in anyway (Dimond 2008). Whereas by definition, paternalism restricts a person’s right to autonomy, and takes another person’s autonomous right away and makes decision on their behalf, even if it is contrary to the wishes of the patient (Beauchamp and Childress 2001).
The characteristics are transparency, fairness, active leadership, and psychological safety. Transparency implies its definition; primarily errors are reported and not hidden, especially about patient care. The transparency is not only related to reporting the patient errors but also reporting the reason and addressing cause behind errors, the corrective actions, and accepting accountability for said errors. The interdisciplinary team members will be encouraged that the ‘blame game’ is not the environment they are working in, but focusing at a ‘broken system’ and what can be done to safe-guard the patient and staff from the errors that were present in the system. Fairness is a way to level the playing field when system based errors effect the actions of a team member and again refers back to the ‘blame-game’ regarding system based errors.
