Health and Social Care

COMPULSORY TASK:

To create a presentation or document which will make up the basis of the first part of your coursework for year 13:

For your Unit 3 coursework, you will refer all your tasks to two individual case studies.

Individual 1 – Shahfat
Shahfat is 72 years old and is in the hospital following a stroke. She is a widow and lives with her daughter and son-in-law. They are all practising Muslims. Before the stroke, Shahfat was independent and used to care for her five grandchildren. Following the stroke, Shahfat is having problems speaking and, due to weakness on one side of her body, is unable to mobilise. While in hospital, Shahfat is visited by her daughter every day, although the family have said they will not be able to care for her at home.

Individual 2 – John
John is 24 years old and lives with his parents. He has spent some time under the care of the community mental health crisis team, but has recently stopped responding to their phone calls. When they call at his parents’ house, they find out that he has not been at home for a few days, and his parents are concerned that he has started drinking heavily/taking drugs again. When talking to his parents, the team find out that they are also struggling to cope with helping to care for John.
