Assessment Task 2: Day in the Life of a Personal Care Worker

TASK SUMMARY

In this task, you will be observed performing skills in a simulated workplace environment to confirm you can perform to industry standards and workplace expectations. 
This task consists of three parts:

• Part A: You will meet with your boss to discuss your job role requirements and specific tasks according to workplace documents.
• Part B: You will undertake a role play to obtain consent and provide care for the new resident.
• Part C: You must send an email reporting and documenting incidents and records according to workplace requirements. 

Further instructions for each part are provided below.

TASK INSTRUCTIONS: PART A POSITION DESCRIPTION

You will perform a role play in a simulated environment to confirm that you understand your job role to industry standards and workplace expectations. You are to play the role of Jenny Gyeong, a Personal Care Worker about to meet with Frank Brookes, the Care Coordinator (role to be played by the Assessor).

During the meeting, your assessor will ask you a range of verbal questions relating to the tasks you are carrying out.

Scenario: 

You will play the role of Jenny Gyeong. You have just started as a Personal Care Worker for Banksia Care. You have completed your first week of work and all relevant inductions. Your boss emails you to notify you that she would like to meet you prior to your shift (see email below).
Before the meeting with your boss, you must download all relevant files from a folder called ‘iCare-Banksia’, including an individual care plan for a new resident, Sharon, with whom you will be working. Your Assessor will provide you with access to this folder. Familiarise yourself with your job role, tasks, roles from interdisciplinary team members. Consider how you will monitor your stress levels, use self-care strategies and seek support while working with people in care. While reading through the Individual Care Plan, you notice that Sharon like fresh flowers and are unsure of how to organise this for her room.

VERBAL QUESTIONS: ASSESSMENT TASK 2 – PART A

Your Assessor will ask you the following verbal questions and may make notes documenting how your response demonstrates competency.

Questions
1.   Describe the purpose and key components of individualised plans.
2.   Discuss the scope of your role and what should be referred.
3.   Outline your reporting lines.
4.    Outline the roles of interdisciplinary team members and delegation for Sharon.

6.    Describe what self-care strategies you can use and how you will seek support.
7.   Can you please provide me with the specific tasks required to be undertaken for the evening shift with Sharon, including what items to be mindful of?

PART B: PROVIDING CARE

You will undertake a role play to obtain consent and provide care for the new resident.

Scenario

You are now ready to commence your shift. The resident on your first round is Sharon. Sharon has been living with her daughter Marianne since her husband passed away in 2014. 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 to care for her mother, who is displaying some anxiety and anger. This is due to the frustration of memory loss and periods of confusion increasing significantly combined with mobility issues. She had a fall at home while her daughter was at work, and she will need a hip replacement operation. Her family considered 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 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 Frank at the end of the shift. When you require the nurse, you will need to call out to them.

PART C: COMPLETING REPORTS

You will email the Care Coordinator, Frank Brookes.

In the email, you will need to report any incidents or noteworthy items during your shift with Sharon. 
You will need to complete and attach to the email an incident form for any abuse you identified and your evening workplace checklist with notes. 

At the end of the email, you will need to inform Frank Brookes where these documents are stored and how you made sure you followed the organisation’s Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Procedure.

Your assessor will be looking to see that you demonstrate the following:
    record and maintain workplace reports according to organisational policies and procedures, including:
–    completing an incident report
–    updating/maintaining the client file with observations in the evening workplace checklist.
    use digital technology to:
–    engage with people in the organisation
–    share information.
    store workplace information according to organisational record keeping procedures.
