HLTAAP001 Recognise healthy body systems Assessment

ASSESSMENT TASK : WORKPLACE PROJECT

TASK SUMMARY:

There are three parts to this project:

Part A: Obtain information about physical health status of a client
Part B: Participate in a physical health check
Part C: Identify variations from normal health.

WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS ASSESSMENT?

Approval from your work placement supervisor to work with a client (under supervision)
Access to your work placement’s policies and procedures
Access to your client’s medical information
Access to approved equipment and resources for checking health
Access to a work colleague who can supervise you during the task and undertake physical health checks if you are not allowed/approved to do so.

INSTRUCTIONS:

You will need to complete this task in your work placement service.

You will need to choose one client to work with.

You must obtain permission from your work placement supervisor to have this client participate in the task – see the permission form provided at the end of this task.

You will then need to work with your client by going through Parts A–C in this task.

Complete the journal included in this document for each part. Please ensure that you do not identify the client in your journal – you must refer to ‘the client’ rather than use the client’s name.

PART A: OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE PHYSICAL HEALTH STATUS OF A CLIENT

For this part of the task you are required to:

Refer to your client’s medical information/care plan to familiarise yourself with their health background.
Ask your client how they are feeling today – do they have any issues?
Discuss findings with the person supervising this task and identify any actual or potential health problems.
Identify which body systems are involved and how these problems may affect the body’s overall functioning.

Record your findings in Part A of your journal (see the end of this task).

PART B: PHYSICAL HEALTH CHECK

You will either need to perform this task yourself or you may observe the task being performed by a qualified member of staff (you will need to check with your work placement supervisor if you can perform any of the health checks).

The physical health must be performed on the client you spoke to in Part A.

Health checks must include:

Temperature
Pulse
Respiration
Blood pressure
Bowels opened
Client-specific observations if applicable (for example, blood sugar test, visual observation, weight check, ankles for swelling, etc).

Make a record of the findings in your journal.

PART C: IDENTIFY VARIATIONS FROM NORMAL HEALTH

Using the information you have gathered in Part A and Part B, interpret the data and answer the two questions in the journal.

Unit (HLTAAP001) Competency Reflective Practice Journal

Reflect on your practice as a CHC53315 Diploma of Mental Health student and identify how you have met this unit competency:

Students need to write down what tasks were carried out. What resources/equipment/aids that you found most useful. What students learned to meet the unit of competency? Please note your responses on the lines provided below.

A journal is a confidential record of your activities and reflections. When writing your journal, don’t be too concerned with neatness, grammar and punctuation, but rather focus on being spontaneous, open and honest in your reflections. Your journal entries should not just be lists of what you did each shift but how you felt, what you learned and how you could improve.
