Q UESTION 9 a) A person-centred support approach can contribute to the empowerment of people living in the community. What is the advantage of this? It can meet their emotional, social and basic needs which ensures to make a healthy life and increases independence. b) In one to two sentences explain why older people, or people with disabilities, are commonly disempowered. People tend to look at the elderly and/or disabled as being less mentally alert, and so their abilities are discounted. They are viewed as "throwaway" hangers-on who needs to get rid of as soon as possible. c) Read the following scenario and answer the questions: Alberto has had a stroke. Although his wife, Michaela has been able to provide love and support for Alberto, there are some things they just couldn’t manage. Alberto and his case manager, John, have talked about his needs, with Michaela being involved in the discussion. They are adamant about what Michaela can do for Alberto and the types of support they need. They ask for help with Alberto’s showering, dressing and transport as Michaela does not drive. Alberto also wants to attend physiotherapy to regain his strength. After a few months, Alberto is very happy with his progress. He is now quite capable of showering and dressing himself and has just been given permission from his doctor to drive again. John meets with Alberto and Michaela to discuss changes to his care plan. It is agreed to cease the personal care and transport services, but in place of those John will receive some assistance with gardening and general maintenance, as he still finds balance and heavy work difficult. ▪ In what way does this scenario represent consumer-directed care? Alberto and Michaela both are associated with decision making and services are offered as the necessities of the clients. ▪ How do you think this approach has helped Alberto to recover from his stroke? I think this approach has helped him to recover as he was provided service as he needs and making him more fllexible. Q UESTION 10 Elsie is 80 years old. She lives on her own in an old country property five kilometres from town. Her nearest neighbour lives over 500 metres away and is often away from home. Elsie does not have a mobile phone.

She has undergone one program of chemotherapy and has been receiving HACC services due to her declining health needs. Bunty was very sick during the treatment, but her health gradually improved. Last week Bunty was distressed to find out that her cancer is back. Her oncologist has strongly recommended a further chemotherapy program. If she does not have treatment she is likely to die within a month. Bunty has decided not to have the second lot of chemotherapy – instead she wants to die at home. Her family are angry that she is giving in to the disease – especially as the oncologist has so strongly recommended further treatment. a) Should Bunty do what her family and oncologist want her to do? Explain your answer. Bunty has her own right to her life, if she chooses to die then let her finish her life because it is her life. The family approach you and ask if you can talk some sense into Bunty. They ask you for legal advice about whether Bunty can be forced to take the treatment. They also ask you lots of technical questions about Bunty’s cancer and how treatment will work. Bunty has given her consent for you to share information with her family, but you don’t really feel this is within the role of your job. b) What should you do in this situation? I will politely explain what I know about Bunty’s situation to her family and further I will explain to them that it is not within my job description to give them legal advice or provide them technical knowledge of cancer. So I will politely ask them to consult to Bunty’s doctor or talk to a lawyer if they want legal advice. Question 15 What is meant by ‘emotional abuse’?

C ASE S TUDY 1: B ERNIE AND G LENYS Bernie and Glenys have been married for 47 years. Glenys has been diagnosed with dementia and requires constant care. Bernie has been caring for Glenys at home and is committed to her care. Now Bernie has found out that he has terminal cancer. He will probably only have about six months to live. Bernie is distraught and worried about what will happen to Glenys after he dies. One day while you are cleaning their bedroom, you find a stash of medications hidden behind the cupboard. When you ask Bernie about them he looks very guilty. He says that they are his ‘insurance’ to make sure that neither he nor Glenys will suffer. He also says that you should not say anything to Glenys or anyone else about them – he couldn’t bear for Glenys to be lonely when he dies. You look at the medications and see that these are very strong. You realise that Bernie is considering ending his own and Glenys’s lives when he feels they can no longer cope. 1. You sympathise with Bernie’s situation, but what should you do in this ethical dilemma? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 2. Identify two possible solutions that will assist Bernie to address his concerns and be comfortable to take different ‘end-of-life’ action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 3. How would you demonstrate respect and sensitivity to Bernie – imagine that your views are very different from his in this situation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ The workplace grapevine quickly becomes active. One of your colleagues comes rushing up to you, ‘Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that Bernie was going to murder his wife!’ she exclaims. ‘What did he say to you? Is he going to be arrested? Poor old Glenys – he kept on saying he wanted to care for her at home but all this time he just wanted to get rid of her.’ 4. Explain how you would respond while still maintaining confidentiality.

C ASE S TUDY 2: C ANDICE Candice is frail and has dementia. Her dementia has been caused by a history of drug and alcohol abuse. She lives at home with her niece, Nevaeh, who cares for her. Candice receives support at home to shower and receives meals on wheels. Nevaeh is known to be an alcoholic and it is expected that she also takes illegal drugs. Lately Candice has been losing a lot of weight. There has also been some unusual bruising on her arms and chest – Nevaeh explained that Candice often falls out of bed, especially if she has been drinking. Nevaeh is drunk when you arrive today and you see that she is eating Candice’s meals on wheels. You also find medications in the kitchen, which have obviously not been given to Candice for some time. When you ask Nevaeh about why she is eating Candice’s food, she says that there is no point in her giving it to Candice as she just spills it down herself. When you ask her about Candice’s medication, Nevaeh says that these are old prescriptions that she doesn’t take any more (even though they are the medications listed on the care plan). She then says, ‘Is it pension day today? Thank god! I’m desperate for some ciggies!’ She then races out, leaving you alone with Candice. You know that Nevaeh has access to Candice’s bank account. 1.
