Bones in libs are covered with tissue. Putting pressure on someone hand/arm when being moved can cause a bone to fracture. Fracture can happen by equipment hoist/wrong sling size. 1.2 Blind - A person who is blind might need more reassurance and explanation about the move and what is around them they can not see. Dementia - The person may be confused and might not understand what you are saying and when you are supporting them to move.
One of the roles as a care worker is assisting individuals to move and position themselves. Depending on their condition it might be either assisting them in doing it or doing it for them completely (some people affected by, for example severe stroke) are not able to move at all. In order to fulfil your responsibilities appropriately and safely it is very important to understand anatomy and physiology of human body. It may prevent the danger of harming yourselves or others. In order to be able to move human body uses its bones (skeletal system) and muscles (muscular system).
1.1 The spinal column is made up of individual bones called vertebrae. In between the bones there are joints that connect these together - Not moving an individual correctly can cause ligaments to sprain. This is why individuals must never be dragged when being moved as this can cause joints to over stretch and then sprain the ligaments Muscles work by the fibres they contain contracting; this makes the muscle shorten. When the muscle shortens it pulls on the tendon and then on the bone to which it is attached. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons - When an individual is moved and positioned it is important this happens smoothly.
The vertebral column forms a stable but mobile axis for the rest of the body. It is made up of • Bones • Joints • Discs • Ligaments • Muscles • Tendons • Blood vessels The bones provide strength and are honeycombed for lightness, and ligaments , tendons and muscles provide stability. The muscles are also a source of power and provide movement and support for the spinal column, maintaining the natural curves and controlling excessive bending. Muscles are the first line in defense in protecting other structures of the back. Joints are where two or more bones meet.
| | 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals (Planned: 0 , Completed:0) The anatomy and physiology of the human body explains that muscles are attached to the skeleton. They work like hinges or levers to pull or move particular joints when a muscle contracts, pulling the joint in the direction it is designed to move. Parts of the muscles move antagonistically. Muscles can become slack making movement slower and more difficult. This explains that the human muscles move in command from the brain.
1.1 Outline the Anatomy & Physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of moving and positioning of individuals. As a care worker in Hafan-Y-Waun residential and nursing home there is a requirement that residents need to be manually moved and positioned in accordance with the care needs. Having an understanding of basic anatomy and physiology can help reduce the risk of harm to yourself or others when undertaking moving and handling procedures. Muscles work like levers and allow the bones at a joint to work like hinges. Muscles pull and move the bones at particular joints; this makes the joint move and therefore the body moves.
HSC 2028 MOVE AND POSITION INDIVIDUALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLAN OF CARE 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals The anatomy which the physical structure of the body and physiology which is the normal functions of the body help individuals to move their limbs. Muscles have the power of contraction thus it produce movement of the body and allow the bones to work like hinges. When moving someone/individual it is important to remember that the muscles can only move the joint as far as the bones will allow them. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual If an individual has suffered from a stroke this may cause loss of movement in the limbs on one side of the body (hemiplegic). In that case it is very important to remember that when you are assisting an individual with regards to dressing you need to dress the individual firstly the bad side and when undressing him/her you do the bad side lastly to prevent discomfort.
My role as a carer requires following the policies and procedures and code of practice. It makes me responsible for every task I undertake therefore I must be always sure that I’m trained enough and physically able to provide professional service to my service users. Those rules protect me and individuals using the care service. | Understand support available for addressing dilemmas that may arise about duty of care |
Outcome 1 Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals 1outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals An understanding of basic anatomy and physiology can help reduce the risk of harm to yourself or others when undertaking moving and handling procedures. In order to correctly move and position an individual without causing serious harm you need to use good body mechanics. You need to understand how muscles ,joints and bones work. If joints such as the knee or elbow are pulled, over extended or forced to move in the wrong direction it could cause serious harm to the individual. The human skeleton Is made up of 206 bones.
Unit 4222-232: Move and position individuals in accordance with their plan of care Outcome 1: Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals 1.Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals When moving and positioning individuals, it is important to ensre the individual is not moved more than their body is capable of, as muscles can only move bones at the joint as far as the joint allows. It is also important to move and handle correctly to ensure nerve fibres are not damaged as they are delicate, but also important as they send impulses in the body which enable muscles to relax and contract. 2.Describe the impact of specific
