Aims of this assessment

Health care workers are required to demonstrate empathic and non-judgemental behaviour and responses to their patients and clients.

Also, as a future health care worker, you need to be aware of your own values and biases, to make sure that your values don’t negatively influence your decision-making, nor the advice you provide to patients and clients. If you're not aware of your own values, the clients' dignity and their ability to make informed choices could be compromised.

This report will help you to understand and develop appropriate and logical responses to situations in which you must support patients' or clients' dignity and autonomy.

This assessment is linked to the following learning objectives. Please make sure that you address these in your analysis.
Discuss theories related to enablement and choice.
