This scenario reflected that Lucille is currently at a high risk of getting abused by her grandson as revealed by the case incidents.

It is necessary to ensure that the workplace is devoid of any hazards and risky situations or exposure that comes under the duty of care for the professional entitled to the firm healthcare duties (McDougall et al., 2021).
The healthcare domain also needs to protect the privacy of users or clients by keeping information secure to protect against any unlawful data breaches and leaks of confidential clients' information. Healthcare segments need the secure handling of data that are personal and need to be kept confidential.
Unaware of the duty of care leads to unforeseen consequences in the healthcare sector as it leads to data compromise and breach of confidential clients' information in a healthcare setting. The lack of duty of care makes it difficult to regulate the healthcare infrastructure effectively.
Consistency and transparency need to be maintained while delivering healthcare services by the staff that comes under ethical integrity or codes.

Conducting the implementation of EHR to replace paper records seem relevant. This change is about enhancing the effectiveness, availability and timeliness of the patient data.
Performance: Performance boost needs help from supervisors
Communication skills: Communication skills are enriched by communicating with colleagues
Technical skills: The training coordinators help strengthen the technical competence (Ataguba & Ataguba, 2020).

1. What opportunities for skills development exist in care services? What should you do to develop your skills?
Workshops, online courses, certification, and in-service training help to foster skill development in aspects of service related to care giving. To acquire these skills, look for such chances and use the derived skills in the execution of the duties at the workplace. An individual need to work hard to identify the gap in skills and needs rigorous commitment to replenish the gaps by working passionately and with dedication to attain success by improving the skills for gaining success.
Some of the principles of communication are plainness, briefness, and comprehensiveness. Shannon and Weaver model: It presupposes such elements as Sender, Message, and Receiver (Al-Fedaghi, 2020). Berlo’s SMCR: Source, Message, Channel,
Receiver additional components- Encoding & Decoding. Forms of communication could be oral, nonverbal, formal and informal, and or graphic and artistic. They are interpersonal, group and mass communication. There is a perfect correspondence between clear communication and getting the points understood along with active listening which encourages feedback (Ataguba & Ataguba, 2020).
Additional context includes such things as body gestures and voice inflexion. This paper writing skill as a form of communication has the backing and support of visual aids to enhance the understanding of the content. The day's collision being defined as the ability to get the message across involves adjusting to the target public, providing feedback and emerging solutions to such factors as noise and cultural diversity.
● Open-ended questions: These ensure that one asks questions that make other give thorough explanations hence enhancing the understanding of a topic. These usually start with ‘how’, ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘can you tell me about’.
● Affirmations: Affirmations are those words that acknowledge one’s purpose or work that has been done and which upholds one’s morale to continue working.
● Reflections: The act of repeating the last words that the other party has said as an indication that the speaker has listened to what they have said to encourage more details.
● Summaries: Repetition of the key ideas affecting both parties and the confirmation of their understanding including potential important items to focus on.
Motivational Interviewing therefore is an empathetic method of identifying and addressing wishy-washy or indecisive behavior to generate change from within. Such measures include the use of temptations, threats, or any other forceful means to cause change; this nearly always results in opposition and anger among the targeted books.
Teamwork implies that the involved members have to coordinate their activities towards the realization of the intended objectives while respecting one another. On the same note, confrontation entails explicit engagement encompassing assertiveness that creates conflict and defensiveness that demeans healthy communication.
