Part B – Case study questions


Read the case study, then answer the questions that follow.

Case study (questions 1–17)

Rowan is a support worker and is planning to visit Mr Tomlinson in his home for the first time. Mr Tomlinson is a 65-year-old Vietnam Veteran who lost both his legs during the war. Mr Tomlinson uses a wheelchair for mobility and he is currently living in a modified flat. Rowan reads Mr Tomlinson’s individual plan and identifies one of his personal goals is to exercise daily for one hour to maintain a healthy body. Rowan phones Mr Tomlinson to confirm an appointment time of 9.30 am on Wednesday. He tells Mr Tomlinson that the purpose of his visit is to discuss how Rowan can support Mr Tomlinson to achieve the personal goals listed in his individual plan. Mr Tomlinson agrees to the time and day of the visit and tells Rowan over the phone that he read about a wheelchair exercise class in his local paper that runs three mornings per week and includes transportation. Mr Tomlinson knows that most members of the class have their conditions as a result of illness or accident, so he is likely to be the only double amputee participating. Previously the exercise classes did not cater for his condition and he is aware that there is a risk that not all of the exercises may be suitable for him. Rowan says he will look into it before his visit. Before hanging up, Mr Tomlinson mentions that he owns an old dog who does not like strangers. 

On Wednesday morning at 9.30 am Rowan knocks on Mr Tomlinson’s door, introduces himself, and is invited inside. Rowan is impressed with the tidiness and orderliness of Mr Tomlinson’s home. Mr Tomlinson said he has been an organised person ever since joining the military. Rowan completes his hazard assessment of Mr Tomlinson’s flat. Rowan notes that cooking appliances are electric and that there is a functioning smoke alarm that was checked within the last two months. Rowan and Mr Tomlinson exchange in small talk before sitting down at his dining table with a coffee, to discuss Mr Tomlinson’s individual plan.

Mr Tomlinson shows Rowan a piece of exercise equipment that he was given previously by a physiotherapist. Rowan is unfamiliar with this equipment and informs Mr Tomlinson that before he assists him with using it he will need to have some training from the physiotherapist on the safe use of the equipment. Mr Tomlinson discloses that he was not happy with the services provided previously as he felt that he was not allowed enough input into what he wanted and felt that the previous support worker viewed him as a complaining old man. Rowan encouraged Mr Tomlinson to fill in a complaints form and explained the process for raising a complaint. Mr Tomlinson was hesitant to do this as he felt that he would get a reputation for being ‘difficult’. Rowan assured him that the complaints procedure was kept confidential and other than his supervisor, no information regarding it would be disclosed unless Mr Tomlinson agreed to this. Rowan also gave Mr Tomlinson the contact details for his supervisor if Mr Tomlinson wanted to discuss any of the issues further. At the end of the visit, Rowan clarifies the tasks that he will now carry out for Mr Tomlinson. These include:

  • assisting Mr Tomlinson to sign up for the wheelchair exercises classes
  • obtaining funding for specialist exercise equipment that Mr Tomlinson can use in his home
  • sourcing the right types of aids or equipment for Mr Tomlinson’s use.

Rowan returns to the office and enters a case file note in Mr Tomlinson’s file. Rowan also files the complaint form and gives a copy to his supervisor for review. Documentation for funding of equipment and updating of Mr Tomlinson’s individualised plan is also updated to reflect Mr Tomlinson’s input and goals. Rowan also puts in a request for training for the equipment that Mr Tomlinson uses that he is not familiar with.
