They may not be given the oppourtunity to be involved just because other's haven't got the time of day for them. Due to how dementia affects a client may mean they can not adjust to the time it is now and may be stuck in their past. This may mean they cannot understand what is being asked of them. 1.4 When caring for person with dementia we must remember they are an individual and need to be included in all
An example of when written communication is used in Health and Social care is when a care home may send an email to a hospital when transferring information about a patient/service user through multi-agency working. Oral (Verbal) communication is when people express their thoughts, ideas and feelings through the use of the mouth. The ability to express and present your ideas clearly through the spoken work is a good example of good verbal communication. An example of this would be in a doctor’s surgery when the doctor would communicate to the service user. Signing is a form of communication without the use of words.
A person with dementia is often frustrated, sometimes angry, and we need to realise this as part of their condition, and that we should not react in a way that would provide further anguish to them. They may also act inappropriately towards you or others. It can be difficult for them to understand that this is not appropriate, so the carer must diffuse the situation calmly and discreetly. A carer must always be understanding of the condition so they are able to provide the correct level of support. 4.1 Explain the difference between a reality orientation approach to interactions and a validation approach.
So as a health care worker it is important to recognise the person’s facial expressions, signs or body language that they are showing. The types of non-verbal communications are as follows: The types of non-verbal communications are as follows: Sign language: Is a way of communicating by using hand movements, hand positioning and shapes, also facial expressions are used wit it, to communicate. Sign language is for people with hearing impediments and for their friends and families to communicate with them. Makaton: Is mainly used by children who have learning and speech
There would then be some kind of medical intervention such as medication, operations or counselling. The individual would then be re-examined by medical professionals. If their condition is cured, they would no longer need to use social care services and would no longer be helped. If they are not cured, the process would begin over again, using a different kind of medical intervention. However, this may lead to mistrust between medical professionals and the disabled individual, leaving the individual feeling abandoned, isolated and let down.
Things they like and dislike. 6.3 Explain why an individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare services An individual with learning disabilities may face additional barriers when accessing healthcare because they face problems within the community that someone without a learning disability can easily overcome. People with learning disabilities often have other health conditions such as hearing or sight problems. This can create barriers when accessing healthcare because they cannot interact with the environment like someone whose hearing and sight are not a problem. People with learning disabilities often have confidence issues and it can feel very daunting when required to access the community independently.
People come from different cultures therefore in some cultures one thing could mean a different things from the other,so this could end in missunderstanding and missing information. Sensory barriers is onother issue for people who cannot hear or see,they cannot receive information or pass over if they have impairment to one or both senses. Environment is an issue for those who have disabilities,let say a service user in a wheel chair cannot erach to make eye contact with the receptionist,for communicating could be affected,or might be a dimly lit room and someone who cant see might have difficulties to read or see propely. Using slangs is also not a good thing to do,and people might interpret different. To use a technical language could be scary for the service user as he doesn't understand the terms and start worrying about what is going to happen is case you might, let say ,wanna take the service user to hospital to give blood to make sure on his health.
Symptom management may be complicated by patient’s and family’s reluctance to complain (Matzo & Sherman, 2010). As such, the visual analog scale and numeric rating scale can be used to assess pain (Matzo & Sherman, 2010). 2. What aspects of
Communication and Information technology Melissa Liesmann HCS 320 September 19, 2011 Sue Cox Communication and Information technology When thinking about communication and information technology, not many think that they can go hand in hand. This paper is going to discuss one type of information technology that can provide information but also be used as a way of communication. By now many know what electronic medical record is or EMR. It is a computerized medical record created in an organization that delivers care such as a hospital or physician’s office. It is a way to transmit patient information electronically and allow for physicians and staff to communicate by EMR instant messaging.
This individual could become withdrawn, depressed and start to lack confidence when answering questions which could result in them not talking at all and generaly feel isolated and excluded from others around them. Individuals may start to loose weight or dehighdrated as it has become too difficult to ask for food and drinks or even become more incontinant as they now do not ask to be taken to the toilet. Explain how you have supported a service users to use their preferred method of communication. We have a individual in are care setting who suffered a stroke a few years ago and finds communication vocally very hard, instead she uses her hands to make shapes or point to something related to what she wants. This individual can say yes, no and some letters.
