5 Most Common Certificate III in Individual Support Sample Questions & Answers
Preview 5 practice questions with answers and explanations that name their source.
Dana starts her first shift with a new client and needs to confirm which support services she is to provide. What should she refer to?
Performance criterion 1.1 says the worker refers to the individualised plan to confirm the support services to be provided with the person. Family routines and policies inform the work, but the plan is the document that states what has been agreed for this person.
In CHCCCS031, what does the term "individualised plan" refer to?
The unit's Application section defines the individualised plan as the support or service provision plan developed for the person accessing the service, and notes that organisations may call it by different names. It is about the person, not the roster or the worker's own task list.
A support worker is unsure what sensory and cultural needs a new client has. Which action does the unit expect?
Performance criterion 1.2 requires the worker to consult with the person, their family, carer or others identified by the person to determine specific physical, sensory or cultural needs or preferences. Assuming needs from the worker's own background or another client risks getting them wrong.
Mr Lim would like to wash his own face and upper body during his shower. What should the worker do?
Performance criterion 1.3 is to discuss and confirm the person's preferences for personal support and their own level of participation in meeting their support needs, in a way that develops and maintains trust. Doing everything for him removes his participation and independence.
When working out actions and activities with a person, which two things should the worker promote?
Performance criterion 1.4 says to work with the person to determine actions and activities that support the individualised plan and promote the person's independence and right to informed decision-making. Convenience, schedules and cost are not the basis.
