History of Injury: Professional medical treatment should be had quickly after any believed dislocation. For the most part, a dislocated shoulder is kept in its current position by use of a splint or sling. A pillow placed between the arm and torso can be of use for support and comfort. Strong analgesics are needed to calm any pain of the dislocation. Emergency department care is for rejoining the shoulder to its natural state with procedures called reducution.
• Give care with confidence- it's important for everyone to be confident when giving care especially with young children as they get scared easilyResponsibilities- the essential aim is providing the appropriate first aid. • Passing on information- by passing on information of the incident to a professional and the parent. | Paediatric Emergency First Aid Unit PEFAP 001 Unit: F/600/2036 Learning Outcomes 1.2 Describe how to minimise the risk of infection to self and others. New clean gloves as this stops any skin to skin hand contact with the individual. It is important to that when treating lacerations that they are washed with sterile water, minimising infection for the individual.
Medication would be the primary method of pain control, but other methods are often effective. Physiotherapy and biofeedback are commonly used to reduce chronic pain. Thermo-pad heat packs often provide temporary relief for mild pain. For bedridden patients, pressure redistribution mattresses and hourly repositioning are used to prevent pressure ulcers and bed sores. 1.3 Outline agreed ways of working that relate to managing pain and discomfort.
It is important that you check the person, equipment and the environment before undertaking any moving and positioning activities. When positioning people who are unable to move themselves, such as those who have suffered from a severe stroke, it is important to remember to check their pressure areas, particularly the elbows, heels and sacrum. Poor positioning techniques can cause pressure areas to develop. 3.4 Describe actions to take in relation to identified risks Once risks have been identified on a risk assessment form, risk control measures will be put in place to minimise the risk of harm. As a care worker, it is our responsibility to ensure that we follow the risk control measures put in place by our employer.

RTT Task 2 Establishing a root cause analysis (RCA) especially in a healthcare situation is a fundamental step to avoid future cases of patient negligence as noted with the unfortunate death of Mr. B. The step leads to proper problem solving and identifying faults especially in training and skills transfer amongst health practitioners. However, in consideration of causative factors that lead to a sentinel event such as a patient’s outcome, there are issues worth revisiting. First, it is imperative to describe the problem or define the event through the inclusion of quantitative and qualitative attributes. In the given case study, for instance, future provision of moderate sedation and additional backup must remain a mandatory exercise.
Undertake agreed pressure Area care (2024) Outcome 1 1) Describe the anatomy and physiology of the skin in relation to skin breakdown and the development of pressure sores.. There are four stages in relation to the skin breaking down which causes pressure sores, it’s important that the correct staging is done because this determines the sort of medical treatment an individual may require. Stage 1 - Skin may appear reddened like a bruise, the integrity of the skin remains intact - there are no breaks or tears, but the area is at high risk of further breakdown. Stage 2 - The skin breaks open, wears away and forms an ulcer. Stage 3 - The sore worsens and extends beneath the skin surface, forming a small crater.
1.2 Explain how duty of care contributes to the safeguarding of individuals. All workers in a childcare setting have a ‘duty of care’ to protect both children and other co-workers. Duty of care means that a person or group has a responsibility to ensure that there is reasonable standard of attention and care given to avoid neglect which may lead to or cause harm to others. It is important to excersice duty of care, especially in young children to help them to develop immune systems which can protect them from childhood illness and other diseases, which may cause them harm ot disable them later in life. Children develop the ability to see potential dangers and learn how to deal with them.
