When Doctor asks you to take more fluids, and Nurse is tracking record of your fluid intake -

Describe how to ensure an individual with dementia, carers and others feel able to complain without fear of retribution

Complaint procedures must be easy to use and readily available to all. We must acknowledge all forms of complaints as soon as we receive and handle strictly with confidentiality. We must provide written instructions of complaints procedure before commencing the service. We should also encourage individuals, carers and others to make complaint when such a situation arises. We must explain to them about their rights and available internal and external support. We must provide full assistance if individuals are unable to write and forward complaints. Feedback or comments about the service from service users are the other way to aware of any potential complaints about the service.

Describe how a conflict of interest can be addressed between the carer and an individual with dementia whilst balancing rights, choices and risk

Conflict of interests may arise between carer and individual with dementia from time to time. There is also dilemma may arise while you working with an individual with dementia. In those situations, carers or individuals may need counselling, advice and guidance from senior care worker or manager. As a carer, you must always be aware of your role, purpose of your role and professional boundaries. Persuading and compromising behaviour are keys to address this sort of issue. A group training session including possible scenario will definitely be helpful to address this kind of issue at workplace.
