 PART A: OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE PHYSICAL HEALTH STATUS OF CLIENTS

For this part of the task you are required to:

1. Refer to your client’s medical information/care plan to familiarise yourself with their health background.
2. Ask your client how they are feeling today – do they have any issues they would like to discuss?
3. Discuss findings with the staff member supervising this task and identify any actual or potential health
problems.
4. Identify which body systems are involved and how these problems may affect the body’s overall
functioning.
5. Record your findings in the Part A template of your journal (see the template at the end of this task).

PART B: PHYSICAL HEALTH CHECKS

Observe the following physical health checks being performed by a qualified member of staff. The physical
health checks will need to be performed on both clients you spoke to in Part A above.
Health checks must include:
▪ Temperature
▪ Pulse
▪ Respiration
▪ Blood pressure
▪ Bowels opened
▪ Client-specific observations as applicable (for example, blood sugar test, visual observation, weight check,
check of ankles for swelling, etc).
Make a record of the findings in your journal in the Part B template.

PART C: IDENTIFY VARIATIONS FROM NORMAL HEALTH

Using the information you have gathered in Part A and Part B, interpret it and answer the two questions in the
journal in the Part C template.

PART D: GATHER INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH OTHERS

Based on the health information you gathered during this task for each client, gather some information (fact
sheets, brochures, websites etc) that you could potentially give each client to help them maintain good health,
and other colleagues in the workplace so they can promote healthy body function.
You may be able to locate good information within your workplace, at the local GP or health centre, on the
Internet and so on.
Write down the information you gathered in your journal in the Part D template, and show the information to
your supervisor. They will sign Part D of your template to indicate that the information you gathered was
relevant to the needs of the client, and it would be suitable to share with others.

What do I need to hand in for this task? Have I completed this?
