Hey Daniel, I am a new subscriber! I found your site by pure chance and thank you ever so much!
When you carry out an individual Risk assessment, the alternative options you present to the resident is that the same as control measures? E.g Let us assume, someone with a mobility issue and wants to walk without a member of staff, but the risk of falling is very high. Therefore, carry out Risk assessment and identify and present alternative options which will allow the person to walk, eg use walking stick, frame. The resident agrees to walk using a walking stick. The options walking stick and frame are these examples of control measures? I am a little confused here and a little clarification would be very grateful.
Cheers!
Yes, control measures are the actions that you take to reduce or eliminate risk.
@@CareCertificate Cheers!
Hello there, can you please help me with this example. Lets say that a resident has been recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and medication (statins) needs to be started. In the care home setting between the carer and resident. The resident is not sure whether he wants to take the medication or not. Therefore, the carer supports the resident to make an informed decision of whether to take the medication or not by going through all the options along with their associated benefits and risks etc. Is this an example of "shared" or "supported" decision making?
Yes, it is. Check out this article for more info about SDM (with a link to NHS guidance). dsdweb.co.uk/level-5-diploma-in-leadership/decision-making-in-adult-care/providing-support-to-engage-others-in-the-decision-making-process/
Please help: What is the difference between the risk assessment steps between what you have written on your dsdweb site section 7.3b and section 13.2a? I am confused because section 7.3b format you list the pros as well as the cons of the risk, whereas it seems in the HSE risk assessment, you do not list any pros? Lets say dementia resident wants to go out alone to the shops, what RA will happen secion 7 or 13 example? PLEASE PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH !
Sometimes there aren't any pros, you just have to use common sense. If you do an environmental risk assessment and notice a frayed carpet that could cause a tripping hazard, there is no pro to keeping it that way. However, when you are performing risk assessments with individuals then you have to respect their right to take risks because their can be benefits from doing so. In your example, the resident going to the shops could have benefits such as maintaining some independence, getting exercise, social interactions and helping them to feel free and in control, which can help their physical and mental health. This has to be weighed against the risks, such as getting lost or becoming confused, which will be unique to the individual. Then steps can be put in place to minimise these risks as much as possible. So, you may agree with them to wear a GPS locator or to have staff accompany them or to let staff know how long they will be gone for. Again it will be unique to the individual's needs and preferences.
@@CareCertificate Oh gosh, you are awesome, are you a teacher or something? You have a way of explaining things so clear and concisely.
Basically, you are saying that in "ENVIRONMENTAL" RAs, you would follow section 13.2a (i.e list risk, control measures and no altenative options part, correct? and for specific task or activity related RAs (individualised) then you follow the section 7.3b format. Which includes pros and cons of honouring choice, alternative options to reduce risks, enabling resident to make informed decision, yes?
@@CareCertificate Is my reasoning correct, please let me know. thank you sir
Hello sir I wanted to ask how many points is needed to get the certificate in gray matter learning?
Not quite sure what you mean but I'd suggest that grey matter learning would be the best people to ask.
I've started the care certificate learning and assessment and I have already gotten 53% out of 100 and it remain about 5 course to complete it ! so I don't know how to go about it, so I needed to ask a specialist. Thank sir 🙏
