Unit 9 - Lo1
In this assignment I am going to be discussing how I am going to approach the care of the 2 case studies and how I am making sure that their care is holistic. Also I am going to be identifying the care staff that are going to be involved in producing the care plan and explaining why it is good that different services come together to produce the care plan.
First Scenario
Sam has been admitted to hospital after having a stroke. He is being released from hospital and will need help when he leaves hospital as he is paralysed down his left side and he struggles with his speech as a result of his stroke.
Sam has rights towards his care. He has the right to communication, dignity, safety, family, and to have access to services, treatment and support. Below I am going to explain how Sam has these rights. When Sam returns home we want to make sure that when he is receiving the help that he needs his dignity is thought of. To make sure that Sam keeps his dignity in his care plan we would make sure that he was visited by only 2 or 3 different people; this ensures that Sam feels comfortable with the people that he is seeing. This also enables Sam to have a professional relationship with the people that he is seeing which would help him feel that his dignity is kept and loads of people are not looking at him. Due to the side effects of the stroke that Sam had he is going to need help with physical care like washing himself and getting himself dressed, for this reason it is important that Sam feels comfortable with the people who are around him and getting him ready. If Sam didn’t feel comfortable then he wouldn’t want people to help him with his care. It could also affect his self-esteem. If Sam was only seen by 2 or 3 people he would feel comfortable and also meaning he would allow carers to help him. He would also feel relaxed around the carers and not feel scared.
Sam is a widower this could mean that he has no family; however he could have brothers, sisters,
