• Broadening knowledge: They can explain important observation characteristics and methods for assessing the need for support in the activities of daily living in general and specifically in the areas of movement, personal hygiene, eating and drinking and elimination (in relation to the entire lifespan). They are aware of the need to take into account the individual habits and preferences of those affected in addition to their health restrictions.
• Broadening knowledge: They can explain the indications for and the forms and implementation steps of care measures recommended according to the current state of knowledge to support people in need of care in different age groups in the life activities of moving, personal hygiene, eating and drinking and excretion and transfer them to care situations of moderate complexity.
