Could anyone please help with the following questions (to mock papers), I obviously have some answers to them but am not sure they would be the right ones for the exam. Thank you in advance and I also hope the questions would be helpful for others.
1) the reflexologist outlines the treatment to the client. Suggest 2 points the reflexologist would make during this conversation.
2) During the treatment the client experiences great sensitivity whilst the reflexologist is working over the kidney reflex on the right foot. The client wants to know what the sensitivity indicates. Suggest a professional response.
3) Why would the reflexologist ask is the client has recently taken a painkiller for her migraine?
Thank you

Hi, thank you.
Here is what I think:
1) the reflexologist outlines the treatment to the client. Suggest 2 points the reflexologist would make during this conversation.
1. Reflexology works by applying pressure on certain reflex points associated with body organs - thus stimulating circuation to the organs.
2. IT is a gentle therapy and the client's comfort is most important (well - I have difficulty with this one (I prefer the exact A&P questions).
2) During the treatment the client experiences great sensitivity whilst the reflexologist is working over the kidney reflex on the right foot. The client wants to know what the sensitivity indicates. Suggest a professional response.
Sensitivity could indicate the organ is out of balance (relate possible reason to consultation), possubly restricted circulation etc.
3) Why would the reflexologist ask is the client has recently taken a painkiller for her migraine?
Sensitivity of the feet could be affected
I would really appreciate help with theses, and also - this one.
The client is worried about moving house (there are details about the client being stressed at present and moving closer to female friends but away from family, client is 65), she asks the therapist if she is doing the right thing? Suggest a professional response.
I would say something like:
It was a certainly a very hard decision to make (reflective listening).
Should I suggest contacting an appropriate voluntary service or not - what do you think?
Thanks to all who would help with any suggestions.
