Describe different aspects and factors to consider when planning a journey Aspects and factors to consider when planning journeys include anything that the client may need, how the journey is going to develop, the outcome of the journey, and any health and safety factors that may be relevant to the journey. Describe different risks that may arise and ways to minimise these Some risks that may develop whilst on a journey include accidents that may happen, people taking ill and people losing sense of direction in large crowds. Ways to minimise these include taking first aid kits with you, keeping track of significant landmarks and taking mobile phones and/or being aware of payphone locations, as well as pre-planning the journey. Describe different types of communication technology that can support planning and making journeys safely Some communication technology that can support planning and making journeys safely include the use of maps/GPS and computers to plan journeys in advance as well as bus timetables printed out to use whilst out. 3.2 Describe ways to deal with unforeseen problems that may occur during a journey Ways to minimise these include taking first aid kits with you, keeping track of significant landmarks and taking mobile phones and/or being aware of payphone locations, as well as pre-planning the journey.
An individual can sometimes be reluctant, or refuse to eat certain types of food which may have been noted in their care plan as a requirement for their condition. For example when an individual needs to have a diabetic diet, a weight-reduction diet or gluten-free diet, if an individual is having swallowing difficulties, in such situations if someone is determined to ignore medical advice and to follow a different diet, I would report this to my manager and it may be discussed among the care team and the medical staff. If the individual has full mental capacity to understand the consequence and still ignore medical advice, it’s their
UNIT NO: 217 PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR JOURNEYS 1.1 I would consider numerous aspects and factors when planning a journey. The weather, is there adequate clothing that the service user may need. How the journey will develop and the route, if there is an accident for example, would there be another route we could take? Do we have spare wheels in case of a flat tyre, medication if the service user has medication. I’d sure there is a detailed risk assessment so if something were to happen I would be very well prepared.
Efforts should be made to contact the clients next of kin or family to gain a better understanding of the client’s requirements . We should then record all information we have been given in their care plans. The needs and preferences of a client with dementia can change, and in some situations it can be very difficult to support an individual with dementia to eat or drink. In situations where a patient is unwilling to eat or drink for any length of time, a record of intake and output should be kept and a GP, a dietician and the client’s family should be contacted. It is important that we are able to recognise the different cultural requirements for our clients may present so we have to consider how we can meet these requirements needed.
In addition, for each individual I will consider, medication needs, toileting requirements suitable footwear and clothing and also bus pass or money necessary to complete the journey successfully and as independently as possible. Communication technologies that can support planning and making journeys safely include satellite navigation, mobile phones for emergencies, telephones, faxes and emails for making arrangements, radio (for travel disruption updates), and maps and computers to plan the journey. When supporting the individual to plan a journey it is important to provide active support to enable them to, agree the purpose of the journey, identify the level of support needed and be aware of potential risks and benefits of them planning the journey. With sufficient support and effective communication taking in to account policies, the individual will then be able to actively participate in identifying, accessing and using the necessary information to plan their journey. I would support the individual in line with the journey plan by helping them realise and take into consideration any connections of buses etc, as well as helping them impose on their journey any time
It can make people eat not healthy food or under eat. It can damage their health and self-esteem. It is anorexia nervosa when people under eat. In this situation people try to keep their weight as low as possible and want to be as skin as possible. People with this disorder usually eat low calorie diet, and make starving themselves.
Also there may be serious risk to the client if staff have difficulties entering the house. If they client has mobility issues and cannot get to a door, they may be at risk from numerous things. The client may not be able to access food or liquids independently, may not be able to access the community without support from staff or may have injury. If the staff member cannot access the clients area, staff should immediately report to the office to get advice on the next steps to take, but also to receive instruction to make sure that the individual they are attempting to support is safe and secure. All difficulties need
An issue occurs when the message has too much information and it’s confusing, having a fear of criticism or language differences. To tackle this problem, as a manager I would apply such methods as explaining my message I send to make sure the receiver understands it, or just set up meetings or conduct one on one conversations to communicate messages. Personal barriers are the real or imagined deterrents between you and the success you want to achieve. The best way to overcome personal barriers is to identify what keeps you from achieving your goals, and then take steps to remove those barriers and focus on the positives. It’s also important to not overstep privacy boundaries of others.
For instance, certain alternatives should be indicated as a fall back plan in case the team runs out of resources away from home. In addition to this, there is a common cliché stating that too much of anything is poisonous. This could be well applied in this case to indicate the fact that the team members should not be overworked since they will also need that energy during the actual
Instead some people find it easier to pick up food by hand, so finger food should be provided. This might be a good way to avoid confusion and distress for the individual. If a person finds it easier food should be laid out for the individual to promote their dignity. Emotional change can be negative emotions about the confused state when individuals may not understand that there is something wrong, but behaviour of others may lead them to feeling something is wrong,which often causes stress to the individual with dementia. 2 Explain how poor nutrition can contribute to an individual's experience of dementia.
