Case Study
Ram has moved into a residential home and requires a particular meal associated with his Hindu beliefs and culture. The home only provides meals listed on the menu and he refuses to eat them due to his beliefs. A carer tells Ram that is all there is and he should eat it.
- If you were looking after Ram in your work setting how would you help?
- How will you encourage Ram to get involved in his care as a new resident?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
