Support workers must confirm that the support they are required to provide is within the scope of their knowledge, skills and/or job role. You are providing individualised support in the home for Daphne who is 83 years old. Daphne is usually an outgoing person. She is always happy to see you and quite talkative. 1.9.a Today you arrive in time to assist her with breakfast, but when you tell her breakfast is ready she remains lying in her bed. When you remind her that her daughter is visiting this morning she gets up slowly, but refuses to eat breakfast. Upon inquiry Daphne declares that she is fine, and she cooperates with showering but she is quiet and more withdrawn than usual. You observe her while she is dressing and getting ready for her daughter’s visit. Whenever she bends down she winces and gasps. You believe she is in pain. What should you do? 1.9.b Two days later Daphne is still quite withdrawn. She sits in her lounge chair and does not seem to be comfortable moving. She still has no appetite. You tell her you are concerned and she admits she has some mild abdominal pain. She asks you to get her some pain medication from the chemist. What should you do?
