5.1

Dealing with personal values

The individual must continuously be at the focus of our work, appreciated, valued and meet their
requirements. These are individual beliefs.

If people have a option and their opinions are perceived, they are much more likely to speak up if
they see or experience abuse.

Encourage active participation

We must constantly aim to encourage people to take an active role in caring, making choices,
and living independently as much as possible.

Individuality enhances people's self-assurance and self-respect, and enables them to question
what they think is wrong.

better comprehend what is right and wrong, and how we can oppose what we think is wrong.

Assisting people who are aware of their safety

Education is significant to minimize the chances of abuse as vulnerable adults recognize how to
protect themselves.

Abuse is much less likely when a person has a framework in place to question the help and care
they obtain. So, every association need to have complaint filing guidelines and ways that those
they support know, comprehend, and are easily accessible.

Risk management and a focus on anticipation can likewise minimize the likelihood of abuse of
vulnerable people. Practical risk management ways supporting people to make their own

related risks as low as possible.
6.1

Unsafe practices in the healthcare industry are generally caused by failure to follow company
rules and measures, lack of appropriate guidelines and actions on the part of managers, and
poorly trained worker. Everything that unnecessarily endangers a person's safety is a dangerous
act and, of course, it can harm their well-being. Here are some examples:

Failure to keep accurate records of medication may result in underdosing/overdosing

Failure to involve people in a plan of care can reduce self-confidence and loss of self-assurance

For example, poor hygiene and unwashed hands can spread the infection.

Maintaining a chaotic organizational circumstances carries the risk of causing many trips/falls
and potentially making evacuation difficult due to a fire.

Employees performing training or unskilled tasks can lead to errors

6.2.

If unsafe practices are discovered, it is essential to report them directly to the liable individual.
Your business's reporting process is determined by how well your manager agrees. If this can be
done carefully and effectively, the threat should be eliminated or as harmless as possible. For
instance, if it falls, you can wipe it off. However, if the working power cord is exposed, you
should report it to your company and the manager or someone else will have a qualified
electrician fix the problem. You can put up a symbol to advise others of the hazard.

6.3

You can report any suspicion of unsafe practices or abuse to your manager, and if you believe
nothing is happening, you can contact your manager to check on the existing condition. If they
don't take it properly or take it seriously, you should report it to high-ranking administration. If
you still do not receive a response, you should report it to an external distributor. This is called a
whistleblower. Outside agencies comprise local governments, welfare agencies, CQC, police and
so on.

protect themselves is also a great approach to minimize the threat. This contains:

recommend that users of this service not use it." Not only does this violate your rights, but it also
excludes you from the potential benefits of accessing online, such as contact with friends and
family and online shopping. You should use the least restrictive option. This allows people to
benefit from the internet while protecting as much as possible from potential risks. The risks for
each individual are unique as there may be forensic reasons why some people may be denied
access to the internet or have concerns about their ability to understand how to stay safe.
Reflection

I worked with defenseless grownups who require community care services because of
intellectual disability or other disability, age or sickness and cannot care of themselves, or look
after themselves from serious injury. I have worked to avoid the threat of abuse and negligence
and stop this from happening. I have been committed to protecting children and promoting their
well-being, comprising keeping them from abuse and those that affect their health and growth. I
likewise need to make sure they grow under conditions that enable for harmless and operative
support. I work with users of service to enhance social inclusion and enable them to lead
significant and meaningful lives, better health results, flexibility, peer care, commitment chances,
and promotion of independence.

Mental health issues are multifaceted and require a mixed method to meet specific necessities. A
person becomes more vulnerable if team members are unable to think or talk the general
requirements of the patient. In present and prospect practice, I need to be conscious of how I can
add to effective teamwork to minimize patient vulnerabilities.

As the person responsible for nursing, I will promote the care and supervision of vulnerable
patients in the future. This is only possible if I know how differences in culture, prejudices,
judgment and isolation affect the course of their state. I have found that all these components are
essential to promoting health inequality. Without addressing these factors, I will not be able to
offer excellent support and care to my patients.

I should be able to understand the various laws and guidelines for protecting mental health
patients and utilize these rules and guidelines to support the privileges of patients. To ensure the
protection of patients' rights, I need to be familiar with various protection guidelines and laws. I
need to educate patients so they can make knowledgeable choices about their care. This not only
strengthens my patients, then likewise supports them control their illness on their own.
