"Justify your plan, based on your service user, their strengths, and their needs."
"Explain how to ensure that the plan is person-centered. (That is, how would empower the service user to engage in the planning instead of relying on you for answers? How would you ensure the service user has choice and dignity?)"
Assess what is missing from your plan, based on gaps in the case study. List 2-3 further questions you would ask to get the needed information. Then, explain how you would engage the service user if they only answer the questions with " I don't know."
