3. Read the case study and then answer the question that follows.

Case study
Ife is a new care support worker at CareShore and is assigned to work with Julie. Ife is from an African background in which a cultural practice is that you pay respect to people in authority by not looking them in the eye and not speaking back to the person. Julie is experiencing difficulties communicating with Ife as, when Julie is asking Ife to do something, Ife doesn’t make eye contact and doesn’t speak before she walks away and performs the task. Julie has not encountered this social behaviour before and is not sure what it means, but she is finding it very frustrating. Julie speaks to her supervisor and asks her for her feedback. The supervisor lets Julie know about Ife’s cultural background and why she behaves the way she does. Julie goes away and does some further research about Ife’s culture to understand her better. Now Julie feels she has a good understanding of Ife and feels she can work with her better and be less frustrated. Julie makes an effort to speak with Ife in a manner that is sensitive to her cultural needs.

Question:

Mrs Carey uses a manual wheelchair for mobility and she can push herself around in her own home, but if the distances are too far, such as on community visits, she needs someone to push the chair for her.

services of a professional interpreter. What factors must be taken into consideration prior to engaging a professional interpreter? List 2 factors and explain your reasons.

8. The next time Julie visits Mrs Zhu, she notices she has a heavily bruised forearm and seems very withdrawn and of low spirits.

Mrs Zhu doesn’t make eye contact with Julie, and pulls her arm away and looks embarrassed. Julie doesn’t want to press her for an answer, but is concerned as the bruises look nasty and observes that Mrs Zhu is not her normal happy self.
