1. when should you use the symptom framework for psws?
2. the painad scale is able to identify if the person is experiencing pain, but is not able to identify the _____________ of the pain.
3. the psychosocial assessment tool helps to identify psychosocial, spiritual, and cultural values and practices of a person. one of the roles of the psw is to be open and sensitive to values and practices that are different from their own. reflect on best - practice interactions, and which interactions might help you to provide support and space for rituals and practices different from yours.

Explanation:

1. Without knowing the specific words in the PPS (Performance - Performance Scale), a general description could involve terms related to functional ability, activity level etc. For a PPS of 20%, the person might be mostly bed - bound, with very limited self - care ability.
2. For a PPS of 10%, the person is likely almost completely dependent, with minimal ability to perform any self - care or physical activities.

5a. An increase in the CSHA (Canadian Study of Health and Aging) Clinical Frailty Scale value means the person is becoming more frail, with reduced physical and functional capacity, and an increased risk of adverse health outcomes like falls, hospitalizations, and mortality.
5b. For a person with a frailty value between 4 and 7, interventions such as physical therapy to maintain mobility, nutritional support to prevent weight loss and muscle wasting, and social support to reduce isolation could be beneficial.

1. The Symptom Framework for PSWs (Personal Support Workers) should be used when assessing and managing the symptoms of clients, such as pain, fatigue, nausea etc., to provide appropriate care and support.
2. The PAINAD (Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia) Scale can identify if a person is experiencing pain but not the cause of the pain.
3. Best practice interactions for PSWs when dealing with clients with different values and practices include active listening, respecting privacy, and being flexible in care delivery to accommodate cultural and spiritual rituals.
