hi can any one help me out i got two q im stuck on and its doing my head in lol
the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals

and the next one is describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an idividual

Q1 I usually expect knowledge to show that the learner has comprehension that the body has a structured bony skeleton, joined with different joint mechanisms, with muscle and ligament attachments and skin covering. This shows that you understand the way the body is made and then for physiology you would need to very briefly explain how this works / what each aspect does...expanding the risks of poor moving and positioning may capture fourther evidence.

Q2 I have had learners talking about the need to position people with a paralysis from stroke in a certain way for safety and comfort, clients who are amputees who need specific handling equipment for safe transfer, clients with dementia who need added observation and explanation to support correct and safe transferring etc
