Start with the person’s preferences and consent
See this course’s project requirements
A fictional nonclinical support handoff that records the adult’s preferences, consent, practical tasks, named owners and a qualified-help escalation route.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Preferences and limited permissions.
- Practical/qualified-help task matrix.
- Confirmed task owners and availability gaps.
- Minimal status handoff.
- Capacity statement and change/escalation review.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Plan respects Rosa’s preferences, consent and limited sharing permission.
- Task matrix distinguishes practical support from clinical, lifting and legal authorization questions.
- Owners and status records use confirmed availability and distinguish ordered from received.
- Changed needs remain pending where coverage is missing and use the appropriate qualified or urgent route.

The idea in everyday life
Fictional adult Rosa wants help ordering groceries on Tuesday and prefers choosing the list herself. She permits the helper to share the delivery time with Eli, but not her health information.
Support begins with the person’s choices; age alone does not transfer authority.
Start with the person’s preferences and consent — supplied practice
Support begins with the person’s choices; age alone does not transfer authority.
Fictional adult Rosa wants help ordering groceries on Tuesday and prefers choosing the list herself. She permits the helper to share the delivery time with Eli, but not her health information.
1. Step 1
Record Rosa’s desired task and retained choice.
You should see: Tuesday groceries; Rosa chooses the list.
2. Step 2
Record the exact sharing permission.
You should see: Delivery time may be shared with Eli; health details may not.
3. Step 3
Draft an offer rather than assume control.
You should see: Would you like help entering the list you chose?
4. Step 4
Write the response if Rosa declines today.
You should see: Respect the decision; discuss future help without treating refusal as incapacity.
What to finish
A preferences and permission record.
Watch for this
Do not infer substitute decision-making authority from being a relative or helper.
How can I tell I understand it?
Support each lesson-specific criterion with your supplied-case artifact: I retained Rosa’s own choices.; I limited sharing to explicit permission.; I respected a changed or declined offer.
