i am completing workbook for this unit as extra coverage questions i am stuck on please help as nearly completed now 

13. Give an example of each of the following:

How your own values and beliefs may differ from those of service users, and the impact this may have on your work
 
How professionals care values may differ from those of other professionals and the impact this may have on your work.
 
How the expectations and preferences of a service user may differ from the service you are able to provide
 
How a service users rights may be in conflict with your responsibility to keep them safe.

This is all one question

Hello Asshhyy - these questions are so complex until you break them down. 

The first part about your beliefs and values may relate to all sort of differences - for example; your community service user may have a dog he or she adores but all you see is a potential tripping hazard that leaves hair all over your uniform when you visit.  This could affect how you feel about visiting, you may be allergic to the dog, hate the smell and mess it leaves etc.

The second part relates to the conflicts that can sometimes arise between professionals working with the same service user.  A doctor may prescribe a drug and the pharmacist decline to dispense it because it may interact with medication the service user is already taking.  This could leave you waiting for the mix up to be sorted out - meantime the service user is not getting treatment for the condition.

The third part could be about unrealistic expectations of clients - they may want their carers to visit them to put them to bed at midnight but the carers may all finish work at ten pm or expect carers to empty the cat litter when this is forbidden in the carer's contract for health and safety reasons.

The last question relates to something that happened to me at work recently - a service user was recovering from a stroke, was unable to transfer safely without staff and equipment to assist but was insistent that he undertook transfers unsupervised which I had to advise him (and document) was totally unsafe.  He had full mental capacity and therefore was able to make an informed choice - he was just very stubborn and in a hurry to get back to normal.

I hope this helps!
