Introduction

This unit is from our archive and it is an adapted extract from Understanding Health and Social Care (K100) which is no longer in presentation. if you wish to study formally at The Open University, you may wish to explore the courses we offer in this curriculum area.

In this unit, we are going to look at a number of situations which put a strain on the idea that caring is just 'being ordinary', including times when people are giving intimate care. In these special circumstances, since the normal rules do not apply, we have to develop a set of special rules to guide practice.
