Personalisation and person centred assessment

What is the core principle of person-centred care in adult care settings?

• The service user’s needs are addressed only by the care provider.

• Care is standardised, with all service users receiving the same approach.

• Care decisions are made based on the service user’s preferences, strengths, and goals.

• Care is provided with little consideration for the service user’s autonomy.

Which of the following is the most important aspect when conducting a person-centred assessment?

• Focusing primarily on the service user’s medical needs and diagnoses.

• Building a comprehensive understanding of the service user’s preferences, life history, and goals.

• Completing the assessment as quickly as possible to ensure time efficiency.

• Prioritising the opinions of family members over the service user’s wishes.

In person-centred planning, how should a care worker respond when a service user expresses a desire for a change in their care routine?

• Discourage the change to avoid disrupting the current care plan.

• Listen to the service user’s preferences, explore possible options, and discuss how the change can be implemented safely.

• Automatically make the change without discussing the risks or consequences.

• Tell the service user that their request is not feasible.

Which of the following best describes the concept of 'personalisation' in adult care?

• Adapting care services to suit the needs of large groups of service users.

• Delivering care based on a one-size-fits-all approach for efficiency.

• Tailoring services to the unique needs, preferences, and aspirations of the individual service user.

• Using standardised care plans for all service users to ensure consistency.

What is a key benefit of implementing person-centred assessments in adult care?

• It increases the control of care staff over the care planning process.
