Q ABC Model: List (3 points) and describe (6 points) each of the 3 parts of the ABC model.
Answer: The ABC Model is used to understand and address responsive behaviours in dementia care. It consists of three parts: Antecedent, Behaviour, and Consequence.
Antecedent (A) - The trigger or cause that leads to the responsive behaviour. In Arun's case, it may be the perceived theft of his belongings or a recent change in his routine, leading him to believe he must guard his possessions.
Behaviour (B) - The observable reaction or response. Arun is refusing to leave his room, expressing paranoia, and making false accusations against staff and his sister.
Consequence (C) - The result or impact of the behaviour. Arun's behaviour has caused distress for himself and Parminder, social withdrawal, and a decline in participation in recreational activities.
