208 Task a
Task A – Plan
You are planning an outing with a group of individuals. Some of the individuals need assistance with using the toilet, eating and drinking, and with their medication.
Prepare a plan for all social care workers and helpers to follow. Your plan should include the following information.
Ai – A description of four different examples of accidents and/or sudden illnesses should occur
Asthma Attack – An asthma attack is a sudden worsening of asthma symptoms caused by the tightening of muscles around the airways. During an asthma attack, the lining of the airways also become swollen or inflamed and thicker mucus, more than normal, is produced. All of these factors, cause symptoms of an asthma attack such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and difficulty performing normal daily activities.
Diabetes - Diabetes is a condition where the amount of glucose in your blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly. This is because your pancreas does not produce any insulin, or not enough, to help glucose enter your body’s cells – or the insulin that is produced does not work properly.
Heart Attack - A heart attack occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked, often by a blood clot, causing damage to the affected muscle. The clot, often caused by rupturing or tearing of plaque in an artery.
Stroke - A stroke can have a devastating effect on somebody. It may leave a person with no long-term effects, with a permanent weakness down one side of their body or, at worst, in a deep coma from which they never recover. When moving and handling people who have suffered from a stroke, you will need to be aware of the extent of the stroke and what parts of the body have been affected.
Aii – An outline of the procedure to follow if an accident or sudden illness should occur
Assess the situation and environment, if the casualty is obviously conscious, talk to them and find out how they are. Make area safe, remove any hazards
