No. Record the change and context and refer it for appropriate review, because discomfort, illness or environmental factors may also matter.
Only within the lawful, assessed and least-restrictive plan. Immediate safety concerns should be escalated, not managed through improvised restraint.
Yes where it is relevant, respectfully obtained and securely handled, using it to offer connection rather than assuming preferences or disclosing private history unnecessarily.
Check immediate wellbeing and environment, use the current support approach and report the new presentation promptly for appropriate care or clinical review.
Any restriction must sit within lawful, assessed and least-restrictive arrangements; individual staff should not create improvised confinement as a routine response.
Respond with patience using the person's known communication approach, consider unmet needs and record material changes rather than criticising or deliberately testing memory.
Their knowledge can inform support, but the resident's wishes and the authorised care-plan review determine ongoing changes, especially where risk or restriction is involved.
Describe the context, observable signs, communication used, possible immediate needs checked, support offered, response and person informed without assigning an unsupported cause.
