HP Lens: ABOUT MEANING
,- Guides us to inquire into particular concerns and priorities to ask
what is important and significant at different points in time
- PT centered

shoes?
Critical lens: ABOUT POWER
- Helps us examine how structural conditions and inequities shape
people, health and healthcare
- CONTEXT CENTRED to understand person's and your own
experiences

Empirical Inquiry
Empirical inquiry focuses on developing empirical knowledge
through observation and experiment, including research and is
aimed at developing theoretical and conceptual understandings. The
man is searching for an "objective truth" regarding the use of this
treatment to enhance his health. In this case an empirical inquiry is
most appropriate to this example.
ex: A middle aged male is considering taking a B12 supplement as he
has been reading, lately, that this is often lacking in men his age and
could benefit his health in various ways. The man asks his health
practitioner how he knows if this is the right health decision for him.
This is a sample of which mode of inquiry?
Ethical inquiry:
focuses on clarifying values, commitments and obligations. Ethical
knowledge provides direction for decisions to uphold values and
obligations to which people are committed. In this case, the health
care team cannot simply over-ride the woman's wishes based on her
faith, even if it means her health may be in jeopardy. An ethical
inquiry would entail inviting in other opinions and looking at
empirical evidence related to ethical decision making.
,ex: A woman is admitted to hospital for complications related to
excessive blood loss after delivering her baby. The woman ascribes
to a faith which does not permit blood transfusions. The
interdisciplinary health care team on the unit has been discussing
this woman's plan of treatment extensively. When deciding whether
this woman is able to make treatment decisions in her best interests,
which of the modes of inquiry should the team use?
Sociopolitical inquiry:
you will want to ask the following questions: What are the power
dynamics involved? What orientation to power does the case
manager hold? How is the case manager enacting this power with
the client? What power dynamics support or constrain the case
manager's ability to offer the client more control over his treatment?
ex: A person who is diagnosed with schizophrenia is expected to
attend a visit with his case manager two times per month in order to
receive an injection of antipsychotic medication (medication
commonly prescribed to treat delusions and hallucinations
associated with schizophrenia). He lives in a community where
community mental health resources are limited and often uses illicit
substances when he is not taking his antipsychotic medication.
Which mode of inquiry is most appropriate as you begin to
understand this person's situation?
Aesthetic Inquiry:
The care aide sought to inquire about how to make a meaningful
connection with the older adult client. She questioned what would
constitute a meaningful and "beautiful" experience in the situation.
The attention to what was unique in the lived experience of the
older adult provided the care aide an opportunity to make a
connection with the client and possibly mitigate the need for
additional medication or medical interventions to promote sleep.
Although it might be something simple, aesthetic inquiry can have a
profound impact on relationships because of the intend to find
, deeper, more abstract meaning in things.
ex: An care aide is supporting the care needs of an older adult client
in a care facility. The aide is in the room while the client's daughter
is visiting and they discuss how much the client enjoyed listening to
classical music in the evenings and this helped with initiating sleep.
The care aide discusses what she has learned with the recreational
therapist in the facility who helps her find a device to play classical
music in her room. The older adult client and care aide mutually
decide she will be assigned to the client's care whenever possible.
This agreement is communicated to the health care team. The care
aide used which of the following modes of inquiry to engage in
relational practice?
Teamwork
"The development of partnerships to achieve best possible
outcomes that reflect the particular needs of the patient, family, or
community, requiring an understanding of what others have to
offer. Collaboration also involves a joint responsibility for patient
outcomes"
Tuckman's Stages of Team Development: Forming

one another, establish first impressions, determine what behaviour
is acceptable for the group, Begin to gauge time and energy needed
to expend on team tasks
