Case StudySally is caring for an elderly Aboriginal client who is terminally ill. He is visited daily by a small number of elders. Each day they go into the garden, even though it is quite cold, and rub some ointment onto his arms and legs and seem to whisper between themselves. Sally believes it is too cold for him to be outside and is suspicious of what is going on. Sally tells the elders it is not right for him to be outside as his condition could get worse, but they say it is ‘normal’ and continue to take him outside. Sally feels angry that these people are possibly putting her client at risk and believes if they really cared about him they would not behave in this way. When the elders leave, Sally asks the client what is happening, but he just says he feels better afterwards.1) How can Sally be non-judgemental in her support and ensure her client’s needs and choices are supported?Case StudyJenni and her colleague, Jayne, are personal care workers in the HACS sector.
