Case study

You have been working with a client who has been living in a care home for several years. You have noticed on several occasions that she appears confused and she has now started to refuse her medication for a heart condition.
- What should you consider?
- What should you do in this situation?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the responses you have to the above scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague or friend and ask them to tell you whether 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 assessor.
