Question

You are rostered on nightshift and your first resident is Sharon. Sharon lives with moderate to severe dementia that has been worsening over the past ten years. In the past 12 months, it has become more difficult for Marianne (her daughter) to care for her as she is displaying some anxiety and anger. Sharon is frustrated due to her memory loss and her periods of confusion are increasing significantly. After a failed hip replacement operation (after a bad fall) resulted in mobility issues, her family felt it was time for Sharon to go into full-time care. Sharon's frustration and anger manifest themselves in verbal aggression towards herself and others. Marianne is her power of attorney. Sharon likes to do her own 'room cleaning'. Staff are to encourage and thank Sharon but ensure her room is maintained in their regular cleaning schedule. Marianne has Sharon's Power of Attorney and is just leaving when you arrive to assist Sharon. Marianne's husband - Rick - is also with them. Marianne says goodbye for the evening. The nurse will be in to provide information and seek consent for the administration of medication from Marianne and Sharon. You will be required to work through the evening checklist completing any notes as required to report to your supervisor at the end of the shift. When you require the nurse, you will need to call out to them. You are required to demonstrate your ability to interact with he client and progress through the checklist. How you interact with the client, seeking consent, respect client decisions, preferences, privacy and confidentiality.
