Overview of Assessment
Overview of Assessment This unit of competency is co-delivered and assessed with: CHCCCS011 Meet personal support needs There will be three forms of assessment including knowledge quizzes, simulated assessments and practical assessments undertaken in the work place. The assessment tasks are as follows: Task 1: Knowledge quizzes Task 2: Practical demonstration (Resident vehicle transfer) Task 3: Simulation activity (fall recovery) Task 4: Practical observation (Personal support needs - low care) Task 5: Practical observation (Personal support needs - high care)
Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks Task 1: Knowledge quiz Your knowledge quiz is broken up into multiple, smaller, module quizzes that make up one assessment task. This assessment task allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of personal support and healthy body systems. There are five groups of questions developed around the course modules. Each question group contains a mixture of question types; including multiple choice, true/false and matching questions that all relate to work relevant scenarios. Task 2: Practical demonstration (Resident vehicle transfer) In this task, you are required to demonstrate your ability to safely transfer resident with low care needs using a mobility aid (wheelchair or four wheeled walking frame), into and out of a vehicle (car/bus). Task 3: Simulation activity (fall recovery) In this task, you are required to demonstrate and discuss your organisation’s fall recovery response procedures. You will be presented with a person acting as a resident who has had a fall. It is your responsibility to deal with this safely and in line with your organisations procedures. You will be the only staff member to see the fall and you will have to respond appropriately. Task 4: Practical observation (Personal support needs - low care) In this task, you are required to demonstrate your ability to support a resident with low care needs with their various activities of daily living (ADL’s). Task 5: Practical observation (Personal support needs - high care) In this task, you are required to demonstrate your ability to support a resident with high care needs with their various activities of daily living (ADL’s).
