3D Identify and report variations in physical condition

You must be able to recognise signs and symptoms that suggest a person’s condition is worsening or that they have developed a new condition that requires medical attention or other intervention.As their support worker, you are in a good position to notice changes to their physical condition. Often you see far more of a person than other significant people in their lives or health professionals. You should be alert to the signs and symptoms of illness or disease that may indicate a person is unwell and follow up by reporting or following the procedures of your organisation.
