Assignment: Home Safety Plan Concept Map 2025

Assignment: Home Safety Plan Concept Map (individual activity) Instructions – Students should develop a concept map that holistically addresses the following: o Mr. Amid’s strengths and challenges as an individual, as member of a family, and as a member of a community (Students should use creativity and logic to fill in the gaps in Mr. Amid’s story that are not explicit in the virtual experience.) o The map should also identify and cluster home safety issues from the perspective of what was observed in the virtual experience and what was missing or unable to be assessed in Mr. Amid’s environment. o Upload the completed concept map in the dropbox provided. Note: The drawing tools in MS Word should be sufficient to create a digital concept map; purchase of concept mapping software is not required to complete this assignment. MODEL 6 NOTES 8/21/2020 5:49:47 AM A response that validates Mr. Amid’s assessment that he has  never had a problem before, while explaining that you want to prevent  anything bad from happening in the future, is the best option. A  confrontational, judgmental style is not appropriate (such as suggesting that  Mr. Amid will fall and break his other hip, or that you believe he would want  to make changes). Nor it is appropriate to address a concern for the  grandchildren (however kind in intention) by suggesting that the  grandchildren should clean the home, instead of addressing Mr. Amid’s ongoing  health issues. 8/21/2020 5:47:27 AM Cleaning the home and removing hazards (such as standing water  and repairing items with frayed electrical cords) are necessary changes  before Mr. Amid’s environment will be safe enough for him to return home. Pet  feces and rodents are a sanitation/cleanliness issue, and can also be a  health hazard, as are food and liquids that have been open and out of the  refrigerator. Standing water in tubs, sinks and large buckets can be a health  hazard, as well as a drowning hazard for children. Because frayed cords  present a fire hazard, they will need to be removed or repaired before they  are used again. Although it is important to present Mr. Hassan Amid with  smoking-cessation materials, putting up “No Smoking” signs throughout his  house is not the best option. Although it might be helpful to go shopping and  fill the refrigerator and cupboards with healthy foods, this is not the role  of the PHN. 8/21/2020 5:46:39 AM Risk for fall Fire Dirty Disorganized 8/21/2020 4:40:28 AM You should systematically assess the exterior and interior of  Mr. Amid’s home for concerns that may pose a health or safety hazard or risk  for him and his extended family. There are eight locations in Mr. Amid’s  house and yard you must visit. Open the map view of his property by clicking  on the Map button along the left edge of the screen. Click on a point on the  map to move to that location. Each location will have two to four indicators.  For example, you start in the front yard where there are three indicators you  must click on. 8/21/2020 4:39:50 AM Needs assessment on home for safety issues Risk for fall 8/21/2020 4:37:37 AM Hello, my name is Hassan Amid. I’m 78 and have lived alone  since my wife passed away over a year ago. I am trying to get by the best I  can, but it is hard without my Amara. This old house has been the gathering  place for our family since we built it in 1950, but at times I wonder if I  can still take care of it. Both of my children and their families live near  enough to visit regularly. I love it when my grandkids and great-grandkids  come over to see me and play with the old toys I have in the house. I have bad  arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some trouble with my heart. I  do take lots of medications, but I do a pretty good job of keeping them  straight. Last month I tripped on my back deck and broke my hip. They fixed  the hip and then sent me to a transitional care unit where I have been  getting physical and occupational therapy. They tell me I am getting better,  and should be ready to go home soon, but my house is kind of a mess, and one  of the nurses told me she isn’t sure it is safe for me to live there right  now. At least with being here for a month, I’m not smoking any more. I’m  pretty happy about that. They are going to send one of the public health  nurses over to check out my house to see what needs to be fixed so it is safe  for me to live there again. They told me that after the nurse goes through my  house, she will visit me and help me with a plan to fix the house.
