Based on your analysis of policies, planning, and available training; your experience with the Home Visit interactive video; and a discussion with your supervisor, develop a general safety plan that includes the following:

What potential safety risks have you identified in your agency context?
How will you prepare when you meet with clients to be safe?
What will you do if you are in a situation that seems unsafe?
What will you do if there is an emergency with a client?
What will you do if a client is agitated or escalated?
What training or information is available to you about safety and how will you use it?
How does your plan align with agency and university policies?
Explain how intentional efforts toward safety can improve your field experience and help you maintain a professional disposition. Use information you have learned about agency and university policies to support your answers.

Impaired blood flow to the brain may cause problems with reasoning, planning, and even to the extent of memory loss. It may be from an imbalance in glucose utilization, diabetes. This is a condition known as vascular dementia. Regular physical activity can affect the physical and cognitive function of people with dementia and it can consequently lead to vascular dementia lesions. Vascular frequently appears in the brain with vascular dementia. Using 450-500 words explain the pathophysiology of vascular dementia with the required treatment modality.

Assessment 1: Self-management plan

Posted on | by

Assessment overview
Time management and clear goals are key contributors to success in university and in management environments within business. This assessment is a living example of POLC (Planning, Organising, Leading and Controlling).

Assessment details

This assessment is split into four parts according to the POLC area it addresses. Your weekly activities will assist with the completion of this assessment by Week 4. The Assessment 1 Self-management plan template document has been provided for you to gather and submit your information. It is accessible via the link in the Additional resources section below.

Part 1: Planning
Create your own self-management plan for self-directed learning in this unit. What are your goals and objectives for yourself for this unit and how will you know if you have achieved them?

Give examples of four goals that you wish to achieve in your learning over the teaching period, how you aim to achieve them and how you will measure your success. Using each of the POLC self-management areas (from Week 1) may help you to write these goals.

Four tables like the one below are included in the first section of your template document. The sample text below is to be used only as a guide; please develop your own SMART goals by filling out the ‘My goal’ column only. The goal-setting activity in Week 1 will help you.

*Note: These tables are not included in your total word count.

Goal: To develop planning skills.

Criteria

Relevant

The goal should relate to your situation (so that you care about achieving it).

Developing good planning skills will be invaluable during this unit, in my course and in the workplace.

Time-bound

The goal should have a date by which it should be achieved.

By the end of this teaching period.

Part 2: Organising (250 words)
In around 250 words (50 words for each) describe how you will use each of the organisation resources listed below to achieve your SMART goals.

Time (and time management systems)
These may include items such as calendars, to-do lists, planners, etc.

People
There are people who can help with the work within this unit, such as your eLA or your student peers.

Work environment
Your work environment needs to be organised so it is quiet and you can work uninterrupted.

Work equipment
You’ll need to organise access to the tools necessary to complete this unit, such as computers, software and a reliable internet connection.

Library
Swinburne library has great resources that will help you complete your studies. These can be accessed in physical or electronic form.

Part 3: Leading (self-leadership) (150 words)
What strategies will you adopt to remain motivated and overcome procrastination? You could, for example, talk about the strategy of considering how this assessment task relates to your long-term aspirations (by helping you remain motivated and focused in a future workplace). You could also talk about the strategies you can use to overcome or remove distractions from your work environment.

Part 4: Controlling (100 words)
‘Feedforward controls are desirable because they allow management to prevent problems rather than having to cure them later.’ (Barnat 2014)

Feedforward control is one of the three types of controls we explored in Week 1’s learning materials. This type of control is applied before the task is undertaken.

Follow the steps below to complete this task:

1. Choose one of the SMART goals you developed earlier.
2. Think about some of the issues that could arise in pursuit of that goal. For example, in your upcoming team assessment, you might have one, or more, group members who fail to contribute (a social loafer). This would impact on your on-time delivery (the ‘T’ element of your SMART goal). What would you do to make sure that you deliver on your goal? This contingency is a feedforward control.
3. Prepare a 100 word statement outlining your feedforward control solution.
