Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Assess client health status

  1. Analyse client health information in relation to planning services and in line with organisation requirements
  2. Recognise normal readings on the findings of available tests, observations and physical assessments that assist in determining health status
  3. Identify pathophysiologies, or changing pathologies, through observation, physical assessment and analysis of other available information
  4. Identify the likely impact of specific interventions
