Your students must be studying 'aged care'. We have a lot of courses in our Technical and Further Education Colleges where students also study aged care and they do work placements like your student in the photo. How much time do they spend on workplacement?
In my school they had like a list "to do". Brushing teeth, make a bed correct, understand a nutritionlist, take bloodpresure/pulse and temp, prevent complications...... Do you use list like that in your school?
In Australia we have Training Packages that set out the skills that our stduents need to learn. When they are in the workplace they muct be supervised and assessed using the 'list' from the Training Package. Donna might be able to give us more information on this topic
