A plan for promoting health and well being for a person who is at risk

Health and Social Care Assignment.

Introduction.

In this assignment, I will produce a plan for promoting health and well being for a person who is at risk. I will include a number of measures of this person's current health, (e.g. peak flow, body mass index etc.) I will also outline the health risks and identify those over which the individual has control, and I will produce a health plan for the individual to follow, which contains targets for improvement along with timescales.

The person that I will produce this plan for is called Hayley Newman.

Hayley is a 19-year-old female. What follows are her PHYSICAL measurements.

Height = 165cm (1.65m)

Weight = 47kg

Body Mass Index = 17.3: - height (m) ? weight (kg²)

Peak Flow = 470 (dm³) AVERAGE.

Resting Pulse = 96 (bpm)

After 5 minutes exercise...

Immediately = 192 (bpm)

After 2 minutes = 120 (bpm)

After 4 minutes = 100 (bpm)

After 6 minutes = 100 (bpm)

After 8 minutes = 96 (bpm)

As well as her physical measurements, I will now also include information about the Intellectual, Emotional, and Social aspects of her life.

Intellectual.

Hayley is a very intellectual person, and has the ability to think clearly, and in an organised way with ease. She has recently completed her A-level examinations, for which she obtained three grade A's, and has plans to attend university in the future. She enjoys reading and finds that it is a useful technique of relaxation for her. Taking all this into consideration, I do not feel that there is anything that needs to be improved in Hayley's intellectual well being.

Emotional.

Hayley has a steady background at home and gets on well with all of her family members. She also has a fairly calm personality, but more recently she has been suffering from stress due to the pressure of her exams, and the pressure of decision-making concerning Universities etc., this prevents her from having complete emotional health.

Social.

Hayley finds that she doesn't have as much free time to socialise, as she would like. This is mainly because the majority of her time has been tied up with exams, but also because she has ...
