Overview
I realize there are 4 of these case studies, but I promise it is worth asking yourself how you would handle each situation. There are no wrong answers, but some type of response is required for each case study. no plagerism no a I no chat bots
Case Study #1:
Jennifer, a client of 10 years, has come in for her regularly scheduled haircut. At the last appointment, you noticed some bruises on her arm, but you were not sure how she got the bruises and since she did not say anything about the injury and you have never observed any injuries on her prior, you did not ask how the the injuries were sustained. Now however, during this visit, while shampooing her hair, you notice some bruising around the back of Jennifer's neck and she has a large bump on the top of her head.
Based on what you have observed, how might you initiate a conversation regarding the noted injuries?
If Jennifer confides in you that some type of abuse is currently occurring, how might you provide her with support?
What are some things you should NOT say to Jennifer if she is in fact experiencing abuse?
Case Study #2:
Maureen, a new client, has come into the establishment and has requested that you highlight her hair. After situating Maureen in your chair and draping her for the service while sectioning her har you observe a large cut on the top of her head. Surprised, you ask Maureen how she obtained the injury. She becomes withdrawn and states she would rather not discuss how the injury occurred. Based on Maureen's body language and actions, you strongly suspect abuse may be occurring.
What might you say to show you support her and her decision not to discuss the circumstances surrounding her injury?
Case Study #3
You are a new electrologist future professional attending classes. You have befriended Meg, a fellow electrologist student. You notice lately Meg is withdrawing from social interaction with you and the other students. Additionally, she has a sore neck that recently was so bad she could not handle receiving an electrologist service on her eyebrows and she has been crying in the bathroom. After class, you notice Meg's partner is always waiting for her and one day you observe an argument in the parking lot that turns physical with a push.
What should you do? How would you handle this situation?
Should you make the class instructor aware of what you saw?
Case Study #4
You have been cutting Mr. Jones's hair for the last 10 years. You guess he may be in his early 80s. He has always been a kind, happy person. Lately, though, you notice he seems out of sorts and withdrawn. You also notice that his appearance has changed. He seems to have lost interest in his appearance because now he often comes in with soiled, wrinkled clothes; something that never used to happen. While sitting Mr. Jones in your chair for a haircut, you try to assist him by taking hold of his arm to help him into the chair. He flinches and acts as though he is in pain. His care provider comes in to retrieve Mr. Jones, and he seems scared or afraid of her.
What would you say to Mr. Jones to make sure he is OK?
If Mr. Jones tells you that his health care provider has been hitting him and not properly caring for him, what might you say to Mr. Jones?
After Mr. Jones leaves the establishment who might you contact to discuss what you have just been told and observed?
