(C) The physical measures of health could be affected Marieanna by a range of higher risks is drinking because it will cause her a higher risk of liver damage. She may be also over weight because she is drinking, so this means she will be unable to loser weight. However she may be drinking because she is finding difficult to cope with the stress about her boyfriend they just spilt. This mean her emotional level is higher at moment, so therefore maybe her drinking could help her solving problems. This maybe be the case why Marieanna she is drinking and smoking badly because sometime when we have problem we always want to have something to help us feel better, e.g. for some people they always want someone to talk too or some thing to help them feel better.
Exercising because she will be more over weight which will result her to heart attack. She may also have a respiratory problem because she does less exercising. However she may not want to do exercise any more because of the stress she is going through about her splitting up with her boyfriend. Therefore her emotional is making her become lazy and lonely because maybe before she used to do exercise because she used to get encouragement from her boyfriend.
Eating as well because she eats a lot of junk food. So she is at higher risk of being over weight because the body is not getting all the nutrients it needs. Marieanna have poor diet not because she cannot afford to eat well but because she is choosing the wrong types of food, which is quick and easy to prepare and fit in with her busy lifestyle.
Marieanna she can control her drinking by deciding to quick drinking, which will help her to be at less risk of getting liver damage, having high blood pressure ect. Also she can try to do more exercising if she wants too. Exercise is a critical component. In addition to increasing energy output, it builds muscle, which, after exercise stops, continues to burn body fat.
Marieanna should try to control her eating habits by eating more sensible, well balanced diet that includes a variety of foods and plenty of grains, fruits and vegetables. This is because the body needs all the nutrients and vitamins. Vitamins are an essential part of marieanna diet and if she lack of vitamins can cause her a range of health problems.
Smoking she will be at higher risk of getting heart disease, lungs cancer and cancer nose. She may be smoking more maybe when she is around with her friend. This could be she is smoke because her friends smokes, so this mean she is being influence by her friends. Marieanna smoke because she think that it helps her relaxes without even realised that cigarettes is a drug which slows down nerve impulses that gives her the feeling of relaxation.
She can control her smoking habit by cutting down the number of cigarettes she smokes per day. She may find this little bit difficult to stop suddenly but she can do this by asking friends and family for support and encouragement. She can smoke only in certain places or at certain times of the day this will reduce the opportunity to smoke.

- Drinking
- Smoking
- Exercising
- Diet
Drinking; can cause higher risk to Marieanna such as live damage and weight gain. Example Marieanna may be drinking because her friends may encourage her to drink so that she can remain part of the group. Sometimes we all do things because we see other people do it. E.g. Marieanna maybe she is smoke because she see her friends smoking. Therefore she wants to stop but she is maybe feeling ashamed that if she stops she might not be able to fit in with her friends.
Also she may be drinking because she thinks that it helps her reduce the stress about her splitting up with her boyfriend.

Short-term for 4 weeks
1-2 weeks- she smokes 20 per day. She needs to cut down to 17 cigarettes a day.
3-4 weeks- 17she needs to cut down to 14 cigarettes a day.
For the short term Marieanna she decide to cut down 14 cigarettes a day because she trying to be aware of higher risk of diseases such lung cancer and heart disease.

Long-term target
1-3 mouths- joining any activities that could help her to loser weight.
She now understands what many happen to her if don’t take any exercise.
We decide to move on into a short-term target on diet because we sow that she as achieve on the exercise plan target.
Short -term target on diet
1-2 she need to cut down on 2 meals a day
3-4 – weeks she needs to cut down eating burgers to fish
Marieanna now understands the benefits of eating the right types of food in the correct quantities. Therefore the more she eats the right type of food; the more her body getting all the nutrition is needed. It is important for her to have a good balance diet of foods.
Review: it is working because now she is eating only 2meal per day, which include low fat free such as Chicken soup, Spinach and Fish.
Mid-term target
5-6- weeks – she needs to eat food like red meat and fresh fruit more
7-8 –weeks- she needs to eat food like cereals, fruit and vegetables.
She realised that if she eats fruits, vegetables, cereals ect. These types of foods will bring her more vitamins into her body. It will her stay fit and healthy.
Review: the plan is working because the food she is eating now is the right food for her body.
Long-term target
1-3 mouths – she need to cut down drinking tea, coffee a lot.
Now she understands that tea, coffee, and soft drinks can all be thought of as water because water is the main ingredient of all drinks.
Marieanna need to be able to drinks a lot of water because water is essential for life and it makes our blood flows gets rid of water substances in urine. She needs to be able to drink around 3 litres of water a day instead of drinking bears or fizzy drinks.
(F) Short term target
Means that it’s serious but it takes slow so Marieanna in case of smoking and drinking she will have to decrease to 14 cigarettes per day and in drinking she have to reduce to 8 pints per day because now she start to knowing the outcome of smoking and drinking.
She is also over weight, which is not good for her health because being over weight can cause her heart disease and blood pressure. This means her heart will slow down because the fats will be around the heart. Marieanna also have eating problems because she is all way eating junk food. Marieanna she will to reduce her fat intake less sugar and reduce eating less salt. For her to stay healthy she needs to start eating more carbohydrates food. Such as bread, rice and pasta these are better for health than the refined sugar in sweets and soft drinks.
Long-term target
Long term is not serious but Marieanna she has a chance to do some exercise in order for to reduce the fat into her body because she is slightly over weight. So she will be doing same exercise. Marieanna she suffers from back pain, so this mean she is unable to go to the gym because she cannot lift heavy things. Marieanna she eats a lot she will experience problems if she doesn’t start learning how to starve herself.
Thankfully we are all different in our likes and dislikes; therefore exercise in a variety of ways. It is essential that Marieanna she will need to find an activity that is enjoyable, appropriate, accessible and affordable for her. She can over come the situation by having a glass of water instead of juice, eating less lunch than usual and having smaller portions of the food she enjoy. Avoid a second helping at dinner and snacks between meals, which is Marieanna‘s habit. She needs to cut down drinking by doing all these things will help influence her health in a positive way.
(G) These target can be met by supporting Marieanna to stop smoking. Friends and family could help Marieanna by telling her to smoke only in certain places or at certain times of the day this will reduce the opportunity to smoke. Marieanna she can only going out with friends who don’t smoke. She can help herself using substitute such as nicotine gums. Once the progress is been achieve Marieanna she can get a reward for achievement.
Example the money she used to buy cigarettes and drinks before, she can saved it and buy something nice for her. Now she even go on holiday with the money she just saved. Maybe she use to have a lot of debt which she was unable to pay back because all the money she uses to spend on buying cigarette and drink. But now she stops drinking and smoking, she as the chance to pay all the money back because she is saving the money which she used to buy drinks and cigarettes.
- The reason why I chosen this target is because Marieanna smokes and drinks heavily which is very bad for her health. Me getting involved with her health might encourage her to quit or cut down the amount of alcohol and cigarette she smokes a day. Marieanna diet is very poor she eat too much junk food, she does not participate in any exercise activities. Her social life is very poor she does not like going out with friends, she is ashamed of her body. She rather prefers to stay home drinking and smoking also eats until she feel very sick. Marieanna is very lonely, her self-esteem is always down, and she has no faith in her self. This situation leads Marieanna to become depress and stress. I want to encourage Marieanna to take exercise because this can help her stay fit and healthy. If she takes the exercise regular it will helps her feel well and she will feel relaxed and also she will become more confident in everything. Therefore her self-esteem will be increase; she will be no long feel ashamed about her body.
(I)
The reason why I have chosen these health promotion materials is because it have got all the information she need to know about how to stop smoking.
- It has the information on the risks of smoking
- Information on how to stop smoking
- Information on how they can support you stop smoking
(j) The way in which the chosen health promotion materials could support the plan is I will see Marieanna and I will give her the leaflets and I will explain to her about the dangerous she will be in if she doesn’t stop smoking. Make sure I show her the risks she will get such as increase lung cancer. If she quit smoking within 48,her blood pressure will decreases, pulse rate drops, body temperature of hands and feet increases, the carbon monoxide level in the blood returns to normal, the oxygen level in the blood increases to normal, the chance of a heart attack decreases, nerve endings start regrouping, and the ability to taste and smell is increased. In order to success the plan Marieanna needs to make up her own mind about stop smoking, so this could be easy for herself and me.
(K) The usefulness of my plan to my chosen person in terms of her physical needs
- She will be fit when she loser weight because she will be free from the dangers such as, getting heart disease, cancer of lung, having high blood pressure, having breathing difficult, ect.
- She will feel good about herself because now she have more choice to choose any type of clothes when she is doing shopping. Now she will never have to say that she doesn’t want to wear certain clothes because it makes her look fat. She feel good because now most people will be able to tell her that she look good when she wear something because she has lost weight. Therefore she now feels that she is fitting in with the rest of her friends.
-
Her respiratory will be improved because she doesn’t smoking any more. Example her blood pressure will return to normal, it will be the some like someone who never smoke before.
Her social needs are;
- She may go out with her friends with out smoking or drinking.
- Catching up with all the activities she used to do.
- Feel free with her friend because now she as loses weight. Therefore her self-esteem, self-concept and self-image as increase.
- She will be able now to go on holiday because now she has saved up all the money that she used to spend on buying cigarette and drinks.
Her emotional needs
- She may now feel better about herself because she has lost weight.
- She has another chance to get other boyfriend where she can spend most of the time there.
- The way she sees herself before and now it is different because she has lose weight.
- Her confidence will increase more because now she feels attractive like everyone else.
- Now she may want to achieve on her ambition so she can have the opportunity on getting good job in future after she have complete all her studies.
(L) She will be fit when she loser weight because she will be free from the dangers. Example when she was fat she was on the risk of having heart disease, lung cancer and her blood pressure was high all the time. She was feeling ashamed about her body because she did not want to take exercise unit after she over come the risks she could be in if she doesn’t take exercise soon as possible. Before she was unable to go out with friend because she never feel good about her looks because of the condition she on.
Feel free with her friend because now she as loser weight. Therefore her self-esteem, self-concept and self-image as increase. Before when she loser weight, she was ashamed about the way she looks because she never see herself attractive. Also before she was unable to socialized with because did never hard enough money her to be part of group. All the money she used to have, she used to spend on buying cigarette and drinks. Now she stops drinking and smoking her now able to save money, so therefore now she is feeling free with her friends.
When she spilt up with her boyfriend, her self-esteem was low because now she feels stressed and depressed which make her smoke and drinks more. But she has made an effect on stop smoking. She now has another chance to have boyfriend where she can spend most of the time building social life. Example before she used to spend her most of her time in pub drinking and smoking because she used to feel lonely and depress. Therefore Marieanna now she a whole network of her friends for many different reasons, not just as an emotional health aid, but also as a genuine contribution to expanding her life with new concepts and viewpoints.
(M) The potential difficulties may be in achieving the plan will be, example the person may used to eat only one type of food, such as chips and burgers for main meals, but me getting involve by changing the person is balance diet this could be a little bit difficulties because the person many not get used on the food which I have chosen for her. Therefore when I am not around there is a chance for her to eat the food she used to eat before. This mean if doesn’t follow the balance diet that I show her, she will be at risk of having fats into her body because her body is not getting all the nutrients it needs.
Also exercising about three times a weeks for 20 minutes can be fit her. Example when I am not around her probably not going to do exercise for 20 minute, she may even do less than 20 minutes. Once the person she has failing to reach their targets, this means she will still be at risks. Example if she used to be slightly over but exercise she is over weights which may even lead her to high risks of disease. Therefore some people believe that everyone has a choice about lifestyle. There can choose to exercise or to be lazy, there can choose to follow a healthy diet or not. All these things it up to the person if she want better life or not. Example Marieanna she work long hours all most everyday, this may not easily for her to have time to do exercise. It is not always necessary to do exercise on the gym. She can do her exercise by walking home after work or when she is coming to college.
Other example is Marieanna she might fail to give up smoking because she may have fear that she won’t be able to enjoy her life and how to handle on the stress. In order for her to achieve on the plan she to be able to take control on her own stress. Examples she needs to be do this by relaxing, exercise and having a positive attitude toward her. Smoking increases blood pressure and damages blood vessels. Therefore if Marieanna fail to achieve this target she will be back on the danger she was on before. But if she respects this target she will reduce the risk and she will show that she have control on health.
