Conception Human life starts with conception. A fertile woman normally generates one egg cell each month, roughly 2 weeks after her menstrual period. Conception is a process of becoming pregnant. Most woman ovulate each month, this is when an egg is released by the ovaries. During the procedure of sexual intercourse the male will ejaculate and sperm will be lead from the testicles through the penis and will enter through the woman's vagina. If a sperm connects to the egg, fertilization may often occur. Whilst a male ejaculation, there is between 60 million and 500 million that swift there way through like a race. They come across the collar of the uterus within 10 minutes or so. Only around 100 to 200 of the chosen ones will meet the most fertile place. If the sperm achieves becoming successful and penetrates the egg it will mislay its tail and the head will become larger. The entrances will cause the egg to activate which will result it to enlarge. -The woman. The woman's role in conception is vitally important during conception. All of woman's eggs are already present

For Early years and education A04 I am going to plan and carry out an educational activity with a child.
Early years and education A04 A04A For Early years and education A04 I am going to plan and carry out an educational activity with a child. In order to decide on what activity I should plan and carry out with a child I first had to select a child to participate in the activity. I had to think carefully about the child which I would select to participate in the activity as I had to consider what sort of activity I could provide the child with according to the stage of development which they are currently at. Research In order to appropriately plan an activity for a child I decided to research the different stages of child play to find out what types of activities would be suitable for children of different ages to participate in. I found my research on a website which was http://ezinearticles.com/?stages-of-play&id=900253 from which is a website which contains a lot of useful information on the different stages of play for children. The website explains that “children grow and develop as they go through the different stages of play” as they are learning new skills and developing new ideas. The website states that the first stage of play is ‘solitary play’ which is used by very young infants as a form of play. The website says that solitary play is used by very young infants as “very young infants only have the ability to attend to one object at a time
Health and Social Care-A2- Unit 2-Practitioner roles - comparing a teacher and a nurse.
A2 Unit 6 Practitioner Roles Main duties and activities of an Adult Nurse: Adult nurses are responsible for working with both old and young adults with diverse health conditions which may be acute, chronic, physical or mental (1). Nurses are the only practitioners that care for patients for 24 hours whilst all the other practitioners such as doctors only see patients for a short amount of time before handing them over to a nurse (5). Adult nurses have many duties as their aim is to try and improve people’s quality of life even if the situations seem difficult (1). Adult nurses face different situations everyday hence why being a nurse can be challenging but also rewarding. A nurse’s day is usually very busy and packed as they are not only looking after one patient but may look after a number of patients at the same time. A nurse’s day consists of; writing patient’s care plans, providing nursing care to patients in hospitals, at home, nursing homes or in other settings. Nurses implement plans and follow up tasks. Some of the day to day duties of adult nurses are preparing patients for operations, cleaning and dressing wounds, monitoring patients’ temperature, pulse and blood pressure (1). Nurses have to observe and record the conditions of their patients and respond quickly to emergencies through reporting any abnormalities to the GP; they check and administer
Describe key aspects of public health. Identify current patterns of ill health and inequality in the UK (P3)
Describe key aspects of public health (P1) An epidemiologist needs to know several things to able to study the spread of disease in the human population. This is so that they can understand the spread of infection to help over come or stop a crisis of an epidemic. These are some of the things that they would analyse and measure within their studies. Rate In public health rate is the measurement of the frequency of occurrence. Prevalence rate This is the number of all people with a disease or condition in a given population at a specific time, either a point in time or over a period of time. Incident rate This measures only new cases of a disease or condition in question in a population over a specific period of time. Morbidity rates Morbidity rates measure the incidents of diseases within a specific time period. Mortality rates Morbidity rate is the measure of the number of people that have died in a specific time scale. Other things that an epidemiologist may study are:- Age- this might include the study of age ranges that have encountered the specific disease. Gender- although this is not a focused are of study in epidemiology considering gender would still be a possibility. Social class- This will include studying the people from different social backgrounds and how the money and social issue could have an effect on the amount of people in a
