My personal preferences might impact my working practice as some of the service users only believe they need to be bathed or showered once a week, whereas I believe that they should all be bathed or showered at least twice a week to help maintain a high level of personal hygiene, some of the service users strongly disagree with this especially Mrs L, who is certain she only needs a shower or bath once a month, this conflicts with my beliefs that all service users need to be kept clean, by having a shower or bath once a month I find Mrs L to be unhygienic, however to respect Mrs L's wishes and preferences I must allow her to make her own choices, although I can try and persuade her to have a shower or bath more frequently, but this may be conflicting with her own preferences.

When a service user refuses a bath or shower I would ask them why they declined a shower, if the reason was easy to resolve such as I would like one tomorrow but I
