DEFINITIONS

Assessment

Assessment is ‘the process of collecting evidence and making judgements on whether competency has been

achieved, to confirm that an individual can perform to the standard required in the workplace, as specified in

a training package or VET accredited course.’1

Dimensions of competency

To be competent, a person must show their ability to perform effectively in a broad capacity. The dimensions

of competency ensure the person being assessed has the skills to perform competently in variety of different

circumstances. To be competent, a person must demonstrate the following:

Task Skills: The skills needed to perform a task at an acceptable level. They include knowledge and

practical skills and these are usually described in the performance criteria.

Task Management Skills: These are skills in organising and coordinating, which are needed to be able to

work competently while managing a number of tasks or activities within a job.

Contingency Skills: The skills needed to respond and react appropriately to unexpected problems,

changes in routine and breakdowns while also performing competently.

Job Role/Environment Skills: The skills needed to perform as expected in a particular job, position,

location and with others. These skills may be described in the range of variables and underpinning skills

and knowledge.

Transfer Skills: The ability to transfer skills and knowledge to new situations and contexts.

Principles of assessment and rules of evidence

Assessment must be conducted in accordance with the rules of evidence and principles of assessment.

PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSMENT

Validity:

Each task has been mapped to unit of competency requirements. Refer to the ‘Unit mapping’ section at the end of this guide for more information.

Assessment tasks are varied and are required to be completed over a period of time and, where required,

on a number of occasions. Practical observations provide opportunities for students to demonstrate both

knowledge and skills.

Reliability:

This marking guide provides benchmark answers for each assessment task to ensure accuracy and

consistency in the assessment decision-making process.

Flexibility:

A range of assessment methods are provided that are relevant to the unit’s context. Fairness:

Students are required to sign an agreement in their Student Assessment Booklet and state if they have any

special needs or considerations that may affect their ability to complete the assessments. Any reasonable

adjustments that are required to be made to these assessments must be noted in the Assessment Record

Tool for this unit, in the checklist for the relevant task.

Students are provided with information about the appeals process in their Student Assessment Booklet

and in their Student Handbook.

Amy is new to the workplace and learning some procedures with Mia at the reception desk. During the training session, Mia shows Amy how to serve clients coming into the clinic for their appointments and other general queries. Each time a customer leaves Mia makes inappropriate and disrespectful remarks about them to Amy. Amy also notices Mia ignores ringing phones and does not respond to

email queries.


Codes of conduct/professional manner and conduct



Sonny tells his therapist that he is happy to proceed with the procedure even though he has been fully

advised of the potential risks on his health.


Informed Consent

Christian has noticed bruises and marks on Jane’s upper body including her arm and shoulders. She has also started limping around the clinic. When asked repeatedly what happened, Jane became emotionally upset and was quick to brush him away. Christian knows she has an aggressive partner.


Mandatory reporting

Mike, Jasmine’s treating therapist asks to treat her outside of normal work hours, offering to provide her with free sessions. He has also started messaging her on her personal mobile at inappropriate times of the day.


Practitioner/client boundaries

Michelle walks into the clinic overhearing some staff members discussing personal details and circumstances of one of her regular clients in front of other waiting patients. Some of the patients are familiar with the client and can overhear personal details shared in the conversation.


Privacy/confidentiality and disclosure

Harry the daily office cleaner is completing his rounds. On a number of occasions, he has identified client history notes and medical information scattered openly around the clinic. He does not know whether there is a correct process for filing away records correctly so he leaves them where he sees them.


Records management

Casey has been seeing her massage therapist on a regular basis, and over the last few sessions she has opened up about her personal life more, in particular her emotional state which she feels is declining. She tells her therapist she thinks she is depressed and is considering taking her own life. Her therapist is not professionally trained in the area of mental health, however she considers herself a good listener and feels she could give Casey some positive advice that she should take.


Work role boundaries (working beyond the scope of practice)

Steven asks his therapist about a new range of herbal supplements recommended by one of his close friends. His therapist Pam knows Steven is currently taking a number of medications as a part of his pain management program. She advises Steven to discuss these supplements and potential effects

with his treating GP as she does not feel that she has the authority to advise him.


Work role boundaries (when referring to medical practitioner)

Luke brings his 8 year old son Ollie into the clinic for the week. A close colleague Kim notices that Ollie is helping Luke with some odd tasks around the office. Some of the jobs involve Ollie handling clinical equipment and industrial cleaning materials. Kim does not feel this is suitable for Ollie.



QUESTION 14

Select 3 contraindications listed and provide an example of how you would approach this during a client

treatment.

Students answers will vary here, depending on the list of contraindications provided. Students should be able to provide the way treatment should be delivered according to the contraindication.

Vascular disorders – Treatment should be approached with caution, effective communication, and identification of risk factors and provision of advice to help educate the client on self-care management. Massage would involve short intervals and using gentle techniques – a combination of effleurage and petrissage, energy work/reiki techniques.

Neurological dysfunction – Check client blood pressure and pulse including a comparison and assessment of muscle strength, reflexes and sensations of right versus left side. Massage can be performed on specific areas and the client would be encouraged to perform self-strengthening and stimulating exercises.

Medications – Certain physiological and psychological responses may be affected by medications. If a client is taking medications, you should always provide additional support when attempting to physically manoeuvre the client. It is important to ensure that their cognitive senses are functioning at an adequate level when leaving the clinic.
