3E Recognise and report indications that the physical situation is affecting wellbeing

You need to be aware of how poor physical health or impaired health can affect the person’s overall wellbeing. Poor physical health can affect energy levels and concentration, the person’s mood, increase stress, and impact on quality of life. The person’s ability to complete activities of daily living or to actively engage with social, cultural or spiritual activities is compromised by ill health. You should discuss the person’s wellbeing with them and report concerns according to your organisation’s procedures.
