201- 4.1 Q. Explain the term ‘confidentiality’ A. It means that whatever information you tell to a Service will not be passed on and the person you see won’t tell anyone that you’ve been to see him or her without your permission. It gets more complicated if you want to talk to the Service about something that he or she thinks may be harming you or someone else, like you’re being hurt by someone or someone is making you do something you don’t want to do. If that happens the Service will talk to you and try to persuade you to get help, but if you don’t agree the Service can get help without your permission if he or she thinks it’s best for you.
• Remember to transcribe as much needed information as you can over to the pre op checklist, as OR needs the charts the day before to have an anaesthetic review the chart. (You also may not be the one to do the interview if patients call back a day later.) • When on the phone and needing to leave a message, state, Hi, this is _______ I am calling from _____________Hospital, you have an appointment on (date), I need some additional information, and can you call me back at____________. (due to confidentiality we do not want to identify ourselves as the surgical unit, and we do not want to identify that the patient is having surgery) • Then go and check the lab book and pull any lab results and place them with the OR booking chart. Review the labs, and ensure any lab values that need follow up are faced or phoned to the surgeon.
5. PROCEDURES: a) All weapons will be cleared at designated clearing barrels IAW Army regulations. Make sure you conduct this procedure with a battle buddy to ensure the firing chamber is cleared. b) When disassembling your weapon, follow the instructions according to the TM 9-1005-319-10 starting on page 0013 00-1. If applicable use a mat or towel to keep all parts of the weapon nearby.
In care settings when situations of stress or need occur, service users might need to share personal information with their carers. In order to for the service user to feel comfortable with discussing and sharing private concerns, he or she needs to feel that they are safe in order to do so. Therefore all information is given to a care worker in trust and confidentiality. In a positive care environment permission is needed from the service user before the infortaion given can be used or shared. It is essential for a care worker to make sure that the service user can confide in them and trust them.
This letter must also state that the patient is not psychotic. It is also important to ascertain whether the individual is pregnant or suffers from epilepsy. But, in many respects, you can only go by the information that you are presented with which is why I think it is important to be aware of the individual’s appearance and how they react on the outside as this will be a representation of their internal world. Another reason to use a personalised induction is so that you can find out whether the individual has any fears or phobias. You really do not want to replace one fear or phobia with another.
For example, If we notice a client has a sore spot at the base of the spine and we fail to report it or apply cream to it, in a very short space of time it could develop into a pressure sore which is neglient. Aiii WHAT HAVING A DUTY OF CARE MEANS FOR A CARE GIVING ORGANSIATION Organisations must do as much as is reasonable possible to keep individuals safe from harm. This can be achieved by providing policies and proccedures to keep all in the setting safe. Respond to reports and complaints, address any risk. Included in the policies and proceedures the organsiation needs to be aware of dangers, carrying out risk assessment, respecting the individuals right to make risky choices ( after you have done all that is possible to dissuade them), take actions to keep individuals safe and log and report any dangers or problems.
They must also wash hands after using the toilet and before handling food. At all times they must be wearing appropriate PPE and must follow the procedures of disposing of waste safely. They must keep contact items clean and must always report any potential hazards. These things are a part of the code of conduct for care workers and they help with minimising the risk of an outbreak of infection. Care workers have a role in reporting infections or disease outbreaks.
This way I ensure risks concerning activities are minimised and therefore reducing the risk of injury or harm to the individual and myself. Understanding signs of neglect/abuse is also important so I am able to report it to the relevant third party to protect the individual. 2.1 Sometimes individuals may want to do something which could be a risk to their Health and safety. As a support worker i have a duty of care to that person and must do all that I can to keep them safe but also have a duty to respect the individuals rights and choice. 2.2 It could be that the individual no longer wants to use a walking aid but their care plan states they need it to move around.
On the other hand, others believe that the client’s privilege should be respected because they believe that therapy can help people to lead more peaceful and happier lives and that those who needed the help would not be willing to seek it if they weren’t under the impression that everything that was shared during their sessions would remain confidential. Also, during therapy embarrassing and shameful personal experiences may be shared and if presented in court, it becomes public record that anyone has access to which may embarrass the client. We must ask ourselves which takes precedence when they clash. The consequences vary
Rather than succumbing to the habit of prejudging, resolve to keep an open mind when you listen to others to see if you can learn something from what the speaker has to say (Sole, 2011). Had Sarah not prejudged Hitch and his intentions and used effective listening skills, she might have actually heard what he was trying to say. Sarah might have understood that Hitch was merely trying to get women out of their comfort zone in order to give love a chance; because women are so guarded, they never let anyone into their personal space letting that special person slip away. If Sarah had only allowed Hitch to finish speaking, controlled her emotions during the conversation, and processed the message being given to her, a better understanding might have resolved the confusion. Sarah might have also taken the
