Question Task: In this task you are asked to respond to the two scenarios… Task: In this task you are asked to respond to the two scenarios presented below. Within your response to each case, you must consider: One: The legal requirements for students and registered health professionals. Two:The implications for the health facility and/or education provider if required for each of the cases.Three: 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 each of the cases.Case one 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.Case twoYou are a health care professional in the hospital. You have a student who has come to work exhibiting behaviour that is a departure from their normal presentation. They are unable to concentrate and are fidgeting constantly. They are unable to follow instructions. You take the student aside and ask them about their behaviour and if they are unwell, on any drugs or under the influence of alcohol. The student confesses to having used some drugs the night before and that they are still affected by these. The student stated they had used the drugs prescribed for a family member after the recent death of that family member.
