PART D UNIT 2

As part of my unit 2 part D coursework, I was asked to produce a review to the health plans I created for my client in order to improve her health and well being. My case study has a couple of negative factors. Some of these are:

Inadequate exercise
She is in stress
Insufficient sleep
Doesn’t have a balanced diet.

Through looking at these factors I have realised that I will need to produce an exercise plan, a relaxation plan and a healthy eating plan. I will need to make my plans sensible, achievable and realistic for my case study to follow. I will also need to take in mind what type of lifestyle she has and her day to day routine in order to make these plans.

As my client doesn’t get an adequate amount of sleep all that I can do is advise her to make a sleep timetable and also advise her to manage her time well. She can also, at a last resort take sleeping tablets which can be prescribed by her General Practitioner. I didn’t make a sleep timetable for my case study as I don’t know her proper lifestyle and the amount of spare time she has and the amount of time that she spends doing other activities. If I was to do a time I would have to spend a whole day with my case study, and I can’t do that because my case study lives far away from here and I can’t go there because it is 2-3 hours drive from here. To overcome her problem of inadequate sleep, to improve my coursework I will include a sleep timetable.

The exercise plan that I set up for her will help her to maintain her weight as when I worked out her Body Max Index through the formula. My case study’s BMI is 19.87 and according to this data she is the ideal weight. She is at the norm of her age according to her height and weight.

The plan will be needed to be followed by my client for 1 month at the beginning and if it is suitable for her it will be carried by my case study to suit her lifestyle and to maintain her ideal weight. I have made up two plans so they alternate each week so she doesn’t get bored and tired.

I think that this plan would be good for my case study to achieve as it isn’t demanding too much of her time. However, there may be some problems that may occur. Some of these will be ...

I think that this plan would be good for my case study to achieve as it isn’t demanding too much of her time. However, there may be some problems that may occur. Some of these will be that she may not have enough money but this shouldn’t be a problem as some of these exercises can be carried out at home. The other problem may be that she may not have enough time as she is a woman with two children. To overcome this problem of my case study I will make advise her to set her time out well and or make a timetable with what she does and how she can make time to carry out the activities I have set for her. The other main important problem may be that as her left hand isn’t working she may not be able to perform some of these activities such as swimming which requires both of your hands to work. To accommodate this I will make sure that the activities on the plan that my case study can carry out without her hand becoming a problem and a barrier to the exercises that she carries out.

The things that my case study liked about the exercise plan were that it didn’t take much of her time. She also appreciated the fact that I included the pricing information and the map of how to get to the locations of the leisure centres and the parks that she will have to attend. She also like that fact that some of the exercises can be carried out at home and she can do them at any time she wants, whenever she finds the right time to do them and she will also not have to pay for the travelling expenses or the fees to attend the activities that they offer to their clients.

There is only one thing that my client disliked about the exercise plan that I set up for her was that she doesn’t like to go swimming because her left hand doesn’t work and that she swim without both of her hand.

The thing that I liked about the exercise plan was that I have not included activities for everyday of the week and I haven’t done this because my case study doesn’t get tired and exhausted. I also like the fact that the activities that I have set up for her to do can be done at home and they don’t take much of her time. They also don’t cost a lot of money as some of them can be done at home so she doesn’t have to attend the centres. I have also included her to go to the park which is free and she can attend it as it is not too far away from where she lives.

The thing that I disliked about my exercise plan was that I was really upset when I found out that she cannot attend swimming, and that I should have kept in mind that my case study’s left hand doesn’t work. And I was really upset that I made her feel really disturbed and saddened and made her feel that she cannot do some things in life due to my carelessness.

The thing that I would change if I had a chance to would be that I would put in the activities that my case study can do even though her left hand isn’t working. I would make sure the activities do not involve the use of both of her hands. If I do this then my case study will have a high self esteem and feel better about herself.

The relaxation plan that I have set up for her is because my case study is in stress. She can look after herself, take some time off work, spend some days doing relaxation activities and do one thing at a time to overcome her stress. Other things that she can do are join sports club, go dancing, relaxation therapy, meditation, yoga and counselling. One of the problems that may occur from attending these is again money but she can by some CD’s and do meditation at home, and if money is a barrier stopping her to overcome her stress. To make this plan successful I have included maps, prices and the opening times of the places she could attend.

The thing that my case study liked about the relaxation plan was again that I included the pricing and the map to get to the location. It also doesn’t cost a lot of money and to save her some money on going to attend yoga classes I have listed some of the yoga posses and activities that she can do at home when she is alone and when she is in a place which is quite, she can put relaxing music on to clam her from the days work.

The thing that my case study disliked about the plan was that she doesn’t have enough time to go and attend the yoga classes frequently due to her family and children. As again stated on the previous pages I will advise her to make a timetable to manage her time well.

The thing that I like about the relaxation plan is that she doesn’t always have to attend the yoga classes. She can look at the yoga posses that I have included and then she can try them out while there is calm relaxing music in the background to relieve her stress.

The thing that I disliked about the plan was that my case study has financial problems and she may not be able to attend yoga classes frequently or she may never get to go there due to the lack of money.

The healthy eating plan that I set up for her to maintain her weight and not to become overweight or under weight. Firstly to know what my client eats and what she drink I asked her to keep a food diary. Then according to the dairy I set up the healthy eating plan for her to follow to maintain her heath. One of the problems my case study may have would be that she may not to able to shop frequently at the local supermarket or the shops due to time and children. With the other plans that I have created for her, she may not have enough time to go shopping and also because she works and she also has children. My client also doesn’t have a car and due to this she may not be able to go shopping. To overcome this she could do internet shopping to solve her problem.

The things that my case study liked about the plan was that I include options to choose what she wants to eat. She also liked the fact that at the beginning I asked her to keep a food dairy and then I adapted the healthy eating plan to the types of food my client eats. She also liked the range of food in the diet plan.

The thing she disliked about the plan was that due to not having a car my case study will be unable to go shopping regularly and then may have to shop a lot at once. Money can be a shortage due to this. Also carrying it to home may be a problem as the shopping is bound to be heavy.

The things that I liked about the plan were again that I included options to choose what she wants to eat. She also liked the fact that at the beginning I asked her to keep a food dairy and then I adapted the healthy eating plan to the types of food my client eats. She also liked the range of food in the diet plan.

The thing I disliked about the plan was that I should have considered the fact that my cases study doesn’t have a car and she may not be able to shop frequently.

If my case study follows the plans then she could benefit on many of the things. Some of these include:
