Assignment task:
Anna is a client that you work with fortnightly. She is 65 years old, suffering from Diabetes and is currently living on-site at Banksia Care. She was admitted into care due to morbid obesity and Diabetes. She could no longer safely look after herself at home as she became bedbound. She is on the list for bariatric surgery; however, due to the risks and potential complications of recovering from such a big operation, she must first lose 40 kilograms to be approved. Getting weighed is her worst time. She finds it emotionally traumatic, and it's very painful to get in and out of bed each time. A specialist Allied Health Professional attends on site each fortnight to conduct Anna's weight and other health checks. You will play the role of Anna's support carer. Anna is due for her fortnightly weight and other health checks, and she requires assistance to move due to her age and morbid obesity. You must support Anna as she struggles both physically and emotionally at her fortnightly weight and health check. You will be working with a Specialist Allied Health Professional that comes each fortnight to conduct Anna's weight and other health checks.
