This was helpful,... how to talk to someone,.. especially, what not to say... don't point out that someone is stressed, don't talk down to them, and especially, don't ignore them when they are pointing out pointless questions 😊

She told his family that Richard knock the tablets away and was getting very stressed 4:38 .. that's not what I noticed, he was concerned and voiced his feelings. Why would she exaggerate the situation to family?

I see many other healthcare professionals standing over people as they talk, calling them sweetheart and talking too loud. Be natural, to the point but professional. The person isn't stupid.

My 89 year old father had several mental capacity tests whilst in a hospital in Merseyside and not once was the family consulted. The DoLs was used as a weapon to keep him confined to a ward and ostracize him from the family. If you dont have a Lasting Power of Attorney the hospital in conjunction with social services will do their best to put your loved one in a care home and then you may end up going to the Court of Protection and it costing you thousands of pounds in solicitor fees!

Great video in principle yet this dosn't always happen the way it is portrayed in this video. I speak from personal experience 🍪pocket.

Why didn't they just get five men to hold him down and inject him, even if there is nothing wrong and they family aren't consulted. How it works in practice. By the way, do you know what the risks of the medication were in this video ? I must've missed that bit.

I was hoping to see what the actual test was - there doesn't seem to be one.

@@Makethemhearragtime I'm a mental health nursing student. Unless someone is under section you cannot force someone to take medication without their consent. The patient was clearly scared and confused, so can you imagine what it would be like if "five men hold him down and inject him"? - that's abuse and that is illegal. His inability to remember basic things shows that he cannot make a proper decision about important things like his medication (as he cannot retain info), in which he would become very physically unwell if he did not take his meds. I'm not too familiar with physical health medication so cannot comment on that, just he is apparently at a risk of stroke if he doesn't take the medication. For the actual test there is a process and a form to fill out when doing a capacity assessment, but by the second nurse conducting an initial assessment by talking to patient, she could feel that a proper assessment needed to be made. By getting the wife involved, a far less invasive way was found for him to take the meds involving a "best interests decision". Because by doing nothing, patient may get a stroke and it could be fatal.

Lady in black dress has a lot of cervical flexion, hopefully she has corrected that. It is very important to correct your posture.

This is not the way capacity assessment is done in an osce station ...overall the idea is there but there was just no structure ...and an incredibly fast speaking woman ....

@RabidandHappy 2 жыл бұрын

This is an unhelpful video. The assessment is not clear. The next bit is also confusing and rushed. How can you give covert medication without a formal assessment of capacity and a best interest discussion and plan around the same.

Many men like Male nurses, and sadly not enough of us! DoLS ensures people who cannot consent to their care arrangements in a care home or hospital are protected if those arrangements deprive them of their liberty. Arrangements are assessed to check they are necessary and in the person’s best interests. Representation and the right to challenge a deprivation are other safeguards that are part of DoLS.
