Unit 14: Case study
Omar, who is 52 years old and has Parkinson's disease, resides in a small home with his spouse
and their two kids. He is Muslim and extremely self-assured, believing that he knows what is best
for him. As a result, he frequently disregards advice given to him. He teaches economics as a
professor at a university. Over the past few weeks, there has been a noticeable decline in his
condition. His family is his primary source of support as he struggles to perform daily tasks like
eating and drinking on his own. His inability to balance correctly has made it worse as well.
Omars memory has also gotten worse, and he occasionally forgets to take his medication and
insists that he has.Omar used to like going to the mosque and gardening before his health
deteriorated.He used to take his two kids to the mosque on a daily basis where he would find a
place to talk to God about his worries. Additionally, he feels that attending a mosque enables
him to interact with the community and participate in charitable activities, which he enjoyed
doing. He has also made some close friends there.Due to a recent fall, he is limited to short
walks with a walking frame, ultimately would rather stay at home as a result. Despite having a
close relationship with his family, he feels that he has burdened them, especially his wife.
Because of this, Omar has been very distressed and frequently feels alone.
Care planning:
What is care planning:
A care plan, sometimes referred to as a nursing care plan or support plan, is a written document
which outlines the plans prepared for an individual receiving personal care, medical attention, or
other types of support.To guarantee that all relevant elements are covered, plans have to
conform to a scheme that the needs assessor has approved.The care plan serves as a guide for
the patient, outlining the reasons behind their care (based on their evaluated health or care
needs), the services and support they will receive, how, when, and from whom, as well as their
personal information, medical history, and expected and desired results. This ensures that
high-quality, comprehensive, evidence-based care will be regulated.
The cycle of care planning consists of multiple stages:
● Stakeholders consultation
● Identify health needs and priorities
● Plan and responds
● Implementing
● Evaluating impact
, Consultation with stakeholders is the first stage in the care planning cycle. This involves
gathering all of the data related to the service user as well as any other parties and organisations
involved.The second stage is to determine the individual's medical needs and priorities. Usually,
doctors begin by taking a thorough medical history and performing a physical examination to
learn more about the patient's symptoms, previous health issues, and family history. To better
determine the patient's needs, additional doctors may prescribe diagnostic procedures like
scanning. Additionally, they speak honestly and openly with the patient to learn about their
worries and the outcome of care and treatment they are hoping for. Preparing and responding is
the third stage of care planning. In order to achieve the overall desired outcomes, the doctors
set reasonable and achievable goals together with the patient. Setting precise deadlines,
locations, and professional responsibilities in order to accommodate each person's needs is part
of this. The goals could include symptom management, preventing complications, as well as
improving life quality. Implementing the care plan is the fourth stage in the care planning process.
This is the point at which medical practitioners implement the medical treatments and procedures
that have been decided upon. Medical professionals together ( multi dispensary team) offer the
essential medical attention, prescription drugs, and support services listed in the care plan. In
order to make sure the care plan is being followed correctly and to address any changes or
adjustments that may be required along the way, regular monitoring and communication between
the patient and the health care team is crucial during this time. The final stage of the care
planning cycle is the evaluation stage. Here, the medical team evaluates the care plan's
effectiveness and determines whether the objectives have been met. Experts assess the
patient's development, obtain feedback from the patient and their carer, and evaluate any
changes in the patient's state of health. The care plan may be changed or amended in
accordance with the assessment in order to better suit the patient's changing needs.
