QUESTION 5

Shamus’s family come to talk to you about their his care.


They want to speak to you because they trust you as someone who has worked very closely with Shamus
as a palliative care worker for the last two months.
They are very distressed about a report they have received from the doctor, who has told them that Shamus
has only days to live.
His family ask you to refer them to a different doctor – there must be something that can be done to
preserve his life. They aren’t ready to lose him yet!
Shamus has an advanced care directive. It states he does not want any further medical treatment to keep
him alive.
His family are aware of this directive.

a) You feel that people have the right to get a second opinion. Should you refer Shamus’s family to a good
doctor that you know? Explain your answer.

h) What other action could you take to support Shamus’s family?

QUESTION 6

His wife, Katherine, comes to see you and thanks you for looking after him so well.
She gives you a hug and you both feel a bit sad.

morning. She is usually so well organised but just can’t seem to concentrate at the minute – what if
something goes wrong at the funeral because she forgets to do something?
‘I haven’t even cried yet!’ she exclaims.

a) Why is Katherine experiencing this type of reaction so soon after her husband’s death?

i) What would you say to Katherine to reduce her fear of something going wrong at the funeral?

QUESTION 8

A client’s family is looking for some information on palliative care. They have received the information
provided by the HACC team but they are looking for more.

Research the Internet and find a reputable source of information that they can access to find out more. Write
down the source of this information (ie the website address).

QUESTION 9
Describe each of the following terms – give an example of each.

Bessie has severe dementia.


Before she got dementia, she had written out an advanced care directive that said that she wanted to be
resuscitated by CPR if she collapsed under any circumstances.
As far as Bessie was concerned, life was more important than anything else – even if she wouldn’t be able
to make her own decisions as her dementia progressed.
Bessie’s son has not been to visit her for months. One day he appears at Bessie’s side. ‘I’m the only next of
kin,’ he says. ‘Mum isn’t here anymore, she’s just a vegetable now. I don’t want her to be resuscitated if she
collapses again. Just let the old lady die.’
You are aware that Bessie is a very rich woman. From the look of her son, he could do with some money.

a) What are the ethical issues involved in this scenario and what action should the care worker take?

CHCPAL001 Deliver Care Services Using a Palliative Page 21


Approach Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing)
© Advance College January 2020 Version 1.0
k) Describe three legal and ethical issues that may arise with advanced care directives and suggest to deal
with these.

Bessie’s son begins to ask a lot of questions about his mother:


 ‘What is the matter with her?’
 ‘How sick is she?’
 ‘Does she know who anyone is anymore?’
 ‘Where is all her bank paperwork?’
Bessie’s son assures you that he has a power of attorney for Bessie – but he does not show you a copy.

l) Bessie’s last surviving relative is her son. Considering he says he has power of attorney, do you think you
can give him any of the information he has asked for? Explain your answer.

What do I need to hand in for this task? Have I completed this?

CASE STUDY: THORDRIE

Thordrie is English. He came to Australia in his 60s to be with his family.


Thordrie and his family are very private people. They tend to keep their feelings to themselves – perhaps
this is because of their English culture.
Thordrie has late stages of a terminal disease. He has made it clear in his advance care directive that he:
 does not wish to be resuscitated
 wants to be kept comfortable
 would like his immediate family to be with him when he dies (if possible)
 would like the Anglican priest to be called to perform the last rites.
Thordrie’s health has deteriorated significantly. He has been sleeping for the last 24 hours and today he has
been very restless.
The doctor has told you that he is not expected to live more than a few hours.
You and your colleague, Jasmin, will be caring for Thordrie today.
It is likely that he will die on your shift.

INSTRUCTIONS:

ROLE PLAY: ADVANCE CARE PLAN

You are a care worker who is working in a palliative care unit.


Jim is a 72-year-old man with Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer.
Jim has had chemotherapy, which initially looked like it would be successful, but last week Jim was told by
the oncologist that the chemo was no longer effective.
Jim and his wife, Thelma, talked it over and they both decided that they would like Jim to remain at home
for as long as possible – hopefully being able to die peacefully and with dignity in his home.
Jim has been referred to the community palliative care team.
You work with this team and you are meeting with Jim and Thelma today to put together an advance care
plan.
Your assessor will play the role of Jim. You will need to show that you can support him in developing his
advance care plan.
Your assessor will give you a copy of an advance care pan template before you start the role play.
The table below gives further information about what you need to show during the role play.

Your assessor will be looking to see that you can:

 Identify that Jim’s needs will vary from now until his death.
For example, his support needs will change as his health status deteriorates; Jim should understand that his plans can be
changed at any time.

 Support Jim and Thelma to talk about their needs, including physical, cultural and spiritual needs.
Use the advance care plan template to guide your discussion.

 Communicate with Jim and Thelma appropriately.

For example, you should be respectful, empathetic and supportive, avoid passing judgment on his requests, consider your
body language, observe their body language and cues, use clarifying statements, confirm understanding, etc

 Respect Thelma’s role as an integral part of Jim’s care team.


For example, speaking to Thelma as well as Jim, displaying empathy for Thelma’s concerns, asking for her opinion on some
matters, encouraging Jim and Thelma to discuss issues together

 Identify any needs and issues that may be outside of your own boundaries and refer to appropriate
person for advice
For example student’s supervisor or client’s medical practitioner

 Respect Jim’s dignity of risk.

 Accurately record all information in the advance care plan template.

 Report your observations to the supervisor of John’s care team.

What do I need to hand in for this task? Have I completed this?
