    Hello, am Yusif. I am a nurse and work with the elderly. As we age, there are instances we will get to a point where we might need the help of others who can protect us. In protecting us too the people must be sensitive to know what the elderly might need at a point in time.
    By the way am happy to be here and to learn more about Safe Guarding Adults.

    Review of week 6

    Many people might have bucket list. If it happens that a person with dementia happens to have one then I think it should be followed if possible. In the best interest of the patient too, family members can be consulted to assist with the best end of life care for the patient if they cant make a reasonable one for themselves.

  • Yusif Mohammed Yusif made a comment
    Pain assessment

    With this information, I think dementia patients should be on regular analgesia with some break through pain reliefs as this will help to address the pain needs of the patients.

    Dementia: a disability?

    Categorising Dementia as a disability l think will give people with it more protection. Disability in my understanding can be physical or mental and the ability not to be able to put things together in some instances but people with dementia under the mental aspect of the disability.
    My opinion though.

    Am hoping not to shed tear like I did last week most especially with the Peters interview and his wife passing away from dementia.

  • Yusif Mohammed Yusif made a comment
    Aqueduct research: the University of Nottingham

    Yes l agree. One of the behaviours l have noticed with some of the dementia patients is the ability to rearrange things. They might be having forgetfulness but some habits/routines built sometimes ago will still remain with them. Changing them from home to new environment will make them more disorientated and hence if proper and better services are available,...

    Caregiving

    I was told by one patient one day that “if anything happens and l didn’t leave here alive, I will always remember you as someone who really cared for me to my satisfaction” this statement kept ringing in my ears and so if l should meet a different patient who happens to be difficult towards me, I comfort myself with the earlier statement.

    Would you feel able to take on the role of carer for a parent or partner?

    As a health worker and working with people with dementia, it will be easy for me to take care of my partner/parents. The obstacle will be having to manage my time between my job and caring for them. So in one way or the other if our partner or parents fall into the later stage of Dementia we will need a helping hand to be able to balance the situation of...

    Identifying person-centred practice

    How do you adapt your communication style when talking to people with dementia?

    Smile has been my first approach and also addressing them by their preferred names. Sometimes I asked in low tone whether I can offer them a cup of tea. Gentle hand touch too seem to do the magic sometimes. The most problems when they are angry or agitated. Its difficult calming them down but what i use to do is leave them alone for a while only if they are...

    Educational Neuroscience in the Classroom

    For me the core aspect of learning is to ensure students gets the concept of what is being taught and are able to apply it into their daily life’s.

    Teachers can help their students by creating a friendly non judgemental environment for their students thereby encouraging them in contributing to the classes discussions.
