Question  case study 1.You are on placement with another student at an acute hospital. One day the other student appears to be struggling with some tasks and you ask them if they are ok. They reply that they were playing sport the night before and hurt their leg and back. They have had a back problem for a while, but it usually doesn’t cause a problem. Currently they are unable to undertake many physical aspects of care and are slow to move around the ward and are getting behind on their work which is impacting on the care of patients. The next day they attend placement again and they are clearly worse. You ask them if they should be there, but they reply that they have to get through this placement as they cannot afford to repeat the placement later. They ask you to help cover  for them when they cannot complete tasks. You are concerned that they may do further harm to themselves and that their situation may impact on your placement. Task: In this task you are asked to respond to the scenario presented above. Within your response to the case you are must consider: 1. The legal requirements for students and registered health professionals. 2. The implications for the health facility and/or education provider if required for each of the cases.3. Your reflection of life experiences (you do not have to have experienced any of these specific incidents). Think about difficult situations you have encountered in the past, your ethical stance and how this will inform your discussion on how easy or difficult it will be to meet the requirements for the case.
