4 Definitions Cognition refers to the mental processes involved in gaining and applying knowledge and comprehension. These processes include thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, and problemsolving, and encompass language, imagination, sensory perception, planning and the initiation or inhibition of behaviour. Dementia refers to a group of symptoms affecting cognition, behaviour and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning that occurs as a result of physical changes in the structure of the brain. Dementia indicates problems with at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and impaired judgment or language, and the inability to perform some daily activities. Many causes of dementia symptoms exist, such as Alzheimer s disease or a series of strokes. Early-stage dementia describes the beginning stages of dementia regardless of the age of the person Early-stage dementia is different to young-onset dementia which describes a person who develops dementia at between 40 to 50 years of age. Mild cognitive impairment is when the thinking functions of the brain such as memory, language, attention and problem solving are not as good as what they once were but they do not significantly interfere with daily life and are not severe enough to make a diagnosis of dementia. Person-centred support focuses on a person s individuality, relationships, needs, communication, feelings, and abilities; and takes a holistic view of the person s situation as the starting point for determining the type and level of support to be provided. Restorative support refers to support based on honouring strengths, maximising independence and supporting active participation based on goals identified by the person and the accomplishment of those goals.

5 Task 1: Describe the early warning signs and the impact of early-stage dementia For this task, answer the following questions about how early-stage dementia can affect a person. 1 Spotting the early warning signs. Select three of the early warning signs from the table below, and describe how these can make a person with dementia behave and think differently. Include a typical example of what you might notice an example is done for you. Warning sign What it means What you might notice Poor or decreased judgement People living with early stage dementia may demonstrate a reduced ability to use judgement and reasoning skills. This can impact on their ability to make good decisions about what needs to be done such as judging when food is cooked; when it is safe to cross the road. Difficulties judging when it is safe to cross the road. Memory loss Difficulty performing familiar tasks Problems with language Early-stage dementia (US v1) Trainee Assessment Careerforce Issue 2.0 June
6 Warning sign What it means What you might notice Disorientation Abstract thinking Misplacing things Changes in mood or behaviour Changes in personality Loss of initiative or apathy Early-stage dementia (US v1) Trainee Assessment Careerforce Issue 2.0 June
7 2 Seeking advice If you think that the person in your care may be displaying the early stages of dementia, who would you consult or talk to? Who makes the decision that the person should have an assessment for diagnosis of dementia? 3 The reaction to diagnosis When a person is diagnosed with dementia, they can experience a wide range of emotions and reactions. List at least two typical emotions or reactions you may see Providing support As the carer, what would be important to know about the person so you could support them and their family/whānau through the impact of diagnosis?

10 Task 2: Provide person-centred support to a person with early-stage dementia Complete task 1 before starting this practical task. For this task, you need to: demonstrate to your verifier or assessor can assist a person with early-stage dementia to make decisions about their own care. provide person-centred support to a person with early-stage dementia. This part of the assessment includes practical tasks and a professional conversation. The practical tasks cannot be assessed in a simulated environment. The tasks must be carried out while providing person-centred support to a person with early-stage dementia either in the person s home or in a day care or residential care facility. Your assessor or verifier will ideally observe you carry out the practical tasks and complete the verification form. Read the verification form for the details of what you must do and demonstrate. If it is not possible or practical to be observed, you may describe and provide evidence of specific support you have provided to a person with early-stage dementia in a real-life situation. The verification form must still be completed, as part of the professional conversation. Professional conversation Professional conversation is a formal talk where your assessor will ask you to explain what you did and discuss any evidence you have provided. The professional conversation allows the assessor to evaluate the evidence, and to question you to clarify any points. The assessor will make sure that this is backed up with evidence from other sources before they make a final decision on your competency. Examples of evidence you could provide are: job record or time sheets or work diary. a copied job sheet or plan or written job instructions. photos of you doing each task. copies of any reports, such as noting any changes in a person. copies from a communication book showing what you did and how you responded to a situation. For any documents you supply, remove all identifying details of the people receiving services or support. Early-stage dementia (US v1) Trainee Assessment Careerforce Issue 2.0 June
