Case study

Louise is a support worker who helps Madeline with her shower. Madeline’s support plan indicates that she needs help getting into the shower and sitting on the shower chair. She can wash most of her body herself, but needs help to wash her feet and she needs to be reminded about washing properly elsewhere. The support plan indicates the worker should remain in the bathroom and supervise Madeline while she showers, then help her out of the shower and dry her feet and legs.

There are two questions.
