Task 3
Rosemary is a 72-year-old Jamaican lady who has lived in the United Kingdom since early childhood. She married in the UK and raised her family here. Her husband passed away 20 years ago in an industrial accident. She has since been fiercely independent, retiring at 60 from her insurance work and then travelling the world with friends. She ceased travelling at 70 to help her daughter Winsome with childcare. Four months ago, after a persistently bad cough that wouldn’t go away, Rosemary visited her doctor. After many tests, it was discovered that she had lung cancer, which had spread to her bones. She was put into the care of the palliative team. Due to the rapid decline in her health, Rosemary has had to move in with Winsome and her family. Rosemary disclosed that she doesn’t want to be alive anymore, and she is going to ask Winsome for assistance in dying. She feels that she is a burden to her daughter, who is now struggling for childcare and looking after her. She also disclosed that Winsome would be better off if she weren’t around because there is ‘a big insurance payout coming her way’ in the event of her death.
After speaking at length with Rosemary and discussing support options that can be put into place, she explained that she was frightened, anxious and in pain and wasn’t thinking rationally. As a Christian, she particularly benefitted from speaking to her pastor. It transpires she was also worried that her daughter’s only support, Rosemary’s sister, Auntie Pearl, may be deported due to her passport status as she was part of the Windrush Generation. She felt the insurance payout would help the situation. Her pastor reassured her that support was available for Pearl from the Home Office. Rosemary has always been the caregiver for her family and has found the change in her role particularly challenging.
Using the information given in the first paragraph of the case study:
1. In this case, differentiate between Rosemary’s personal rights and legal rights.
2. Explain some factors that potentially may affect her rights (for example, abuse, risks, andsocio-economic and cultural factors).
Using all the information in the case study:
3. Examine the factors that influence the development of identity- consider factors such as culture and ethnicity, gender role and family role.
4. Analyse how care practices can support Rosemary’s basic human needs.
5. Analyse ways in which Rosemary’s beliefs and preferences may affect care delivery.
The word count is 750 words (10%+/-). (AC4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3)
