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. • It is important to use the correct products, tools, equipment and technique because so the client can feel the best benefit from their treatment and it will not harm the client. • It is important to complete treatment records correctly so that you have on record if the client has any contra-indications which may prevent or restrict a treatment. You will also have on record anything the client may be allergic to. • It is important to complete the treatment to the satisfaction of the client so they go away feeling happy and return to you again in the future.
Sharing Information When you are sharing any information you will need to make sure that the individual have signed the data consent form for sharing information, as you do not want to break confidentiality. If they have then you do not share everything and tell unnecessary things. You will only share and tell the people what they will need to
Everything you do must be in their best interest and protect them from harm in every sense including but by no means restricted to, physical, emotional, financial and medical. I must report any risks I come across to a manager or supervisor; this can include poor working practices by other members of staff, equipment, other individuals, the working environment and even family members. Failure to report these would be seen as negligence on my part and could even result in prosecution. 2.1 Describe potential conflicts or dilemmas that may arise between the duty of care and an individual’s right. A potential dilemma could be the client not wanting to visit the hospital when the client has been medically advised that it is essential for them to do so, refusal of medication or any time the service user exercises their rights, to choose or refuse, that could potentially cause harm to themselves or others.
As a massage professional, I believe, that I can ethically serve my clients best by understanding their rights and needs. I can serve client best by staying within the client and therapist boundaries. I can best support these practices by staying clear of burnout. I’ll utilize my colleagues and other professionals to insure my client’s health and well-being. I’ll impress upon the client how to help themselves through a regiment of a balanced diet and exercise.
Unit 1 Developing Counselling Skills Assignment 1 1.1 In this assignment I am going to demonstrate my understanding of working safely and ethically. Code of practice and ethical concerns. BACP provides a platform for counsellors and shows the rules and principles that they should follow and how you as counsellor should use the BACP as a guideline and as like a “rule book”. Confidentiality is the most important in a counselling relationship. As the client may not have ever spoken about what they are about to speak about to the counsellor before.
In this case, the supervisor should have approached Human Resources sooner and allowed them to make the decisions to breach the privacy and confidentiality. If there is a real risk of harm to the patient or other persons, a breach such as this could be warranted, but each case should reviewed separately and one person should not be making this decision (Mair, 2011). Business research is critical to a manger’s decision making, but ethical research is a very important part of the process. Information should be free of manipulation and confidentiality should be maintained to protect all parties
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).
This is the ability to be you without pretence or façade. This is also called genuineness; it is the most important attribute in counselling according to Rogers, in this the counsellor is keen to allow the client to experience them as they really are, the therapist being authentic. Unconditional Positive Regard: (UPR) this is a non-judgemental, Respecting and accepting the other person as they are, Rogers believed that for people to grow and fulfil their potential it is important that they are valued as themselves. The counsellor has a genuine regard for the client, they may not approve of some of the client’s actions, but the therapist does approve of the client. The therapist needs an attitude of “I’ll accept you as you are.” The therapist must always maintain a positive attitude to the client at all times.
It enables individual's to receive the care and support they need, in a person centred way and to be part of deciding the care that they will receive. Person centred care is good practice and helps to ensure that the correct and agreed care and support is given to each individual. No individual is the same and by having a person centred approach, it ensures that everyone is not treated the same, but in a way that respects their needs, wishes, preferences and values. Working to a person centred approach is essential in dementia care. It will help to maintain the individual's self-identity, self-respect and dignity.
Personal qualities should be required as well to become a respiratory therapist as well. One good personal quality would be to have good social skills, making of friendly environment. Another personal quality would be to work calmly in a medical emergency. A respiratory therapist must take every situation seriously as if they were all an emergency. They should be aware that patients could with hold important information, so they must follow good procedure.
