Outline what duty-of-care obligations the support worker has to Margaret.

Case study
Margaret is a 75 year old woman living in an aged care facility for residents with low-care needs. Margaret had polio as a young child and has one shortened leg requiring a built-up shoe. She also now has arthritis in her hands, back, hips and knees, which is making movement, transfers and balance difficult and painful. Margaret also has emphysema and requires oxygen via nasal tubes, medication via a nebuliser, tablets for her arthritis and she receives injections.
Following is a list of supports outlined on Margaret’s care plan.
Washing: Margaret can sit on a shower chair and independently wash the top half of her body, including genital area. She requires assistance to wash feet, legs and hair.
Margaret must be supervised and may need direction when stepping in and out of shower and transferring in and out of the shower chair.
She needs full assistance with drying herself, as she becomes breathless.
Dressing / undressing: Margaret needs assistance with dressing and undressing as she has difficulty moving and becomes breathless with exertion. She must have a built-up shoe on her left foot.
Grooming: Margaret likes to direct her own grooming and can do her make-up independently. She needs assistance with drying and styling her hair.
Nail care: Margaret needs regular monitoring and treatment for ingrown toenails and corns. She takes care of her fingernails independently.
Oral hygiene: Margaret has upper dentures and requires assistance to clean these and to open lids of cleaning fluid and containers.
Mobility: Margaret uses a four-wheeled walker at all times.
Transfer: Margaret requires direction to use handrails and chair arms, to transfer in and out of chairs.
Toileting: Margaret can use the toilet independently but wears incontinence padding due to difficulty getting to the bathroom in time, which results in occasional leakage.
Eating and drinking: Margaret has all meals in the facility dining room. She requires modified large-handled cutlery due to arthritis in hands.
Question
20.Outline what duty-of-care obligations the support worker has to Margaret.
22.Outline a procedure for a support worker to follow when Margaret is washing.

 

What general principle or rule can you specify that would tell residents and hospitals when adding an incremental hour of residency training and work during a specific week no longer is a good idea?

Medical schools and hospitals are heavily involved in the training of new physicians. After prospective new physicians have graduated from medical school and have earned an M.D. degree, and perhaps have done an internship, nearly all do a “residency” for several years. During their residency, the new M.D.s typically are trained in a sub-specialty and work under the supervision of a veteran physician.
It costs both time and money to train and supervise residents. Rules adopted in 2010 limit the hours of a medical resident to no more than 80 per week, averaged over four weeks.
(a) Keeping the Law of Diminishing Returns in mind, comment on the quality of teaching and learning that occur when a resident successively works her 60th, 70th, 80th and 90th hours in a week.
(b) What general principle or rule can you specify that would tell residents and hospitals when adding an incremental hour of residency training and work during a specific week no longer is a good idea?

 

What are the negative health effects of consuming excessive amounts of protein on a regular basis (>35% of total calorie intake)?

Nutrition case studies.
Using the information, answer the following questions
Case Study A Joe plays football for his high school team. He is 17 years old, 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds. His coach has recommended that he gain 10 pounds over the next six months, but not at the expense of his speed and quickness. He has increased his food intake, including whey protein shakes twice a day, each containing 50 g protein. He works out in the weight room three times per week after school. According to Supertracker, he is consuming 204 grams of protein each day.
1. What are Joes protein requirements? Is his intake too low, adequate, or too high?
2. A friend told Joe to eat lots of protein and not many carbs. Give two reasons why adequate carbohydrate intake important for Joe. Be sure to explain how carbohydrate is protein sparing
3. What are the negative health effects of consuming excessive amounts of protein on a regular basis (>35% of total calorie intake)?
4. Joe usually works out at 3 pm. What would you recommend he consume for lunch at 12:00?
5. What is your opinion of the whey protein shakes that Joe is consuming? If Joe wants to include whey protein in his diet, when would be the best time?
6. How much protein should he consume after exercise (calculate using grams protein per kg of Joes body weight)?
7. Give an example of a recovery feeding that will provide ample carbohydrate and protein for Joe. (Use grams of carbs and protein per kg body weight). Specify amounts of the foods/and or beverages)

What additional precautions should Elaine and Sally use if they need to provide care to a person with an infectious respiratory disease?

Elaine has accepted a position as a Health Care Worker for the local hospital in her home town. Elaine is very excited about her new career path and is determined to provide the best service possible to the people she will be supporting. Elaine attended orientation along with two other new employees, Sally and Joyce. Orientation lasts for three full days. Elaine is surprised by the length of time this will take and is a little disappointed not to have hands on work to commence immediately. The timetable that is given to the new employees is very comprehensive and Elaine can see that the days will by fully occupied.
After the initial welcome, the first session was infection control. Elaine was introduced to the Infection control officer who explained that the first contact should be through their immediate supervisor. The Infection Control Officer went through the Infection Control policy and procedures with the new employees, and provided some simpler workflow charts to make the process easier. Hand hygiene was discussed after morning tea. Elaine found this information very interesting, especially studies that showed how hand-washing procedures reduced infection rates. All of the new employees were then shown the correct method of hand hygiene and were assessed on their skills in this area. The UV light showed that Elaine had a good technique but that her hands, around the fingernails, were dry and would benefit from daily moisturising. Joyce had a cut on her finger and it was explained that all cuts need to be kept covered with an appropriate dressing such as a coloured bandaid or waterproof dressing.
After lunch the program continued with demonstration of the correct Personal Protective Equipment to use (PPE) for different scenarios. Elaine and Joyce found how they looked quite amusing with gown, gloves and masks on. It was explained that hair needed to be kept off the face, neatly tied back and personal jewellery not to be worn. When Elaine and Sally saw the slides showing the bacteria present on rings and necklaces they were both shocked. The first day finished with the new employees being welcomed by the Infection Control Nurse who handed out immunisation forms with the recommended immunisations for Health Care Workers.
Question 1. List the different types of hand hygiene practices and give an example of when each would be used.
Question 2. Why was Joyce told to cover the cut with a coloured bandaid?
Question 3. Why would Joyce and Sally need to wear gloves when providing personal support?
Question 4. When would Sally and Joyce be required to wear a mask?
Question 5. Explain the terms cleaning, disinfecting and sterilisation.
Question 7. What is the procedure of disposing of contaminated waste?
Question 7. Cleaning of equipment is one of the duties for Sally and Elaine.
Question 8. What additional precautions should Elaine and Sally use if they need to provide care to a person with an infectious respiratory disease?
