Unit 2 - Section B - Factors that positively affect health and well-being
Section B Factors that positively affect health and well-being 4 factors that positively affect Emma's Health and Well-being are: * Stimulating work * Adequate financial resources * Supportive relationships * Adequate sleep and rest Stimulating work Stimulating work involves a job/career that allows a person to use their expertise to develop new skills and knowledge. Emma recently started work as a dental nurse; she enjoys working here because of the other colleagues she works with and the challenges she is sometimes faced with. Emma has applied to go to college later on this year, she wants to gain the qualifications that are suitable for the job that she has now, so that eventually she will be able to promote to the best of her ability. Emma's job motivates her and stimulates her mind because she comes across different situations and problems everyday and she is engaged in activity of some sort almost all the time during her time at work. She has to prepare the dentists equipment, chemicals such as pastes and injections for each patient, and after each patient she has to disinfect all tools and equipment thoroughly, she also has to book appointments and arrange treatments for all the patients and has to cash the intake of money at the end of each day. Physical It affects her physically by keeping her moving around and not sat about all day, this keeps her mind off

P5 For this task we had to participate in two interactions. The first activity we had to do was take the temperature of an elderly lady who had significant loss of hearing. The second was to move a teenager from a bed to a chair that had just had surgery on both his eyes and because of the dressing over the patient's eyes it was obscuring his vision. For this we worked in a group of three and switched the role of career, service user and the observer. P6 In activity 1 I feel as I communicated well with the service user, as I used quite effective eye contact and facial expressions to show my understanding and to let the service user know I was listening. This kind of non-verbal communication is effective when careering for a patient who has loss of hearing in both ear, because the service user can begin to understand what you are doing and can communicate feelings easily through facial expression, which can help her to feel relaxed in the situation. The person who was observing me also felt I used these types of communication quite effectively but she also though I did other things that were very effective- things like the tone of my voice. She thought this was good because I wasn't patronising towards her. Another would be my use of props/signs- as I showed the service user pictures of how I was going to take her temperature and also acted out the procedure on myself, so
Describe reasons why individuals may experience additional needs
Mary Daphne Mondejar Unit 26 P1 Describe reasons why individuals may experience additional needs There are quite a few reasons why individuals require additional needs it may be Genetic conditions, physical and learning disabilities, developmental conditions, environmental factors, accident, acquired illness. Some of the people may be born that require additional needs or there is some genetic illness that will develop in time. These additional needs of the person may be for temporary or for a lifetime. . Physical and learning disabilities . physical disabilities such as blindness, deafness, and mobility and orthopedic impairment. Compensation for physically disable people are available for those who are eligible. People with short-term injuries (e.g. broken bones), amputated or immobilized limbs, heart defects, pulmonary disease, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and respiratory disorders qualify for such benefits. Learning Disabilities refers to a group of mental disorders that hinder academic and functional skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing, among many others. While this does not indicate poor intelligence, this type of disability hinders people from learning fully because of a deficit in one or several ways by which the brain processes information. . Genetic conditions . illness caused by abnormalities in genes
Developing Effective Communication in Health and social Care
Kirsty Hall Unit 1 Developing Effective Communication in Health and social Care Communication is a way of creating an understanding with an individual or within a group, it is important that you have good communication skills when working with others in order to follow and obey instructions clearly and correctly without any misunderstanding. Communication in health and social care settings is used daily, for example teachers communicate with pupils, parents and work collies, In this health and social care environment it is important that commination is clear from both the teacher and parent in order to hold a fluent conversation that maintains eye contact, teachers will need to communicate with parents to discuss their child/children’s school work or issues that may need to be addressed in more detail. For example family problems that may affect the quality of a child’s school work, if communication is not effective it may cause confusion and problems could accrue if the message is not summarised. There are two different ways of communicating which are verbal and non-verbal; Verbal communication involves talking to present ideas, thoughts and feelings, good verbal communication is the ability to both explain and present your ideas clearly through the spoken word. The tone and paste of voice is also very important when talking as it can often show what mood an

Physical and Psychological changes due to ageing process
P5 Physical and Psychological changes due to ageing process Physical changes Cardiovascular System Atherosclerosis occurs when fats lays down in the wall of blood vessels and develop a narrowing of the arteries in older people. It can affect older people with high blood pressure, giving them stroke and heart attack. When the fats lays in the blood vessels, it increases the size and cause a blockage in the artery which can make a person get low breathing and chest pain. Respiratory System Bronchitis may develop and involves in inflammation of the airways that connect the wind pipe to the lungs because once people get older their strength of their chest muscle reduced. Emphysema Smoking in an example that can cause shortness of breath and result in respiratory or heart failure by causes the lungs to produce chemical that damage the walls of the alveoli. This disease is call Emphysema. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Is when a person does not get enough oxygen to breath and has to increase their rate of breathing in order to cope and it makes the person look bloated or appear bullish. Nervous System Nerve cells communicate with muscle to function properly. In older age neurotransmitters which are released by the nerve cell get weaker to communicate with muscle and functions less effectively. Loss of vision Cataracts and glaucoma can affect eyesight in
Body Tissues - In the human body we have four main tissues, these being Epithelial, Muscle, Connective and Nervous. Tissues are groups of similar cells carrying out specific functions.
Eleanor Lees Unit 5 : Anatomy and Physiology Task 1 - P2 Body Tissues In the human body we have four main tissues, these being Epithelial, Muscle, Connective and Nervous. Tissues are groups of similar cells carrying out specific functions. Firstly, Epthelial tissues are the internal linings ad external surfaces and body cavaties, including tubes or channels (ducts) that carry secretions from glands. There are two types of epithelial tissue, simple and compound. Simple including, * Cubical/cuboidal - these are cube shaped with a spherical nuclei, they are often found in the kidney tubes, sweat ducts and glands like the thyroid gland and breast tissue. Columnar - these cells are much taller with a slighlty oval nuclei, often associated with microscopic filaments called cilia which is often found in the throat. Squamous - the word squamous means scaly to signify the 'flatness'.These cells are extremely flat with an oval nucleus forming alump in the centre. Theyre also positioned close together in random patterns, simple squamous epithelium is found on the walls of the lung aveoli and the blood capileries. Compound being, * To protect deeper structures, this can be found in the vagina, mouth, tongue and the oesophagus this is lined by stratified epithelia (simple) which then consist of layers being squamous, cuboidal or columnar cells which eventually become flattened
Health and social care, OCR Nationals double award promoting health and well being
Introduction. This coursework will be based on unit 2, which is promoting health and well-being. I will look at understanding health and well being by including positive, negative and holistic definitions of health. Further, I will consider different aspects and cultures, which affect health. I am going to observe a client and analyse the PIES while taking health measures for him. In the end of my assessment, I would set targets for my client to improve his health and also provide leaflets and brochures and include information from experts to motivate him to stick to the plan. I will make him aware about the effects a bad lifestyle may have on him. This coursework is laid in sections as section A, B, C and D. Section A will contain definitions of health, how cultures look at health and the history of the health care sector; how it changed over time. In section B, I will look at factors affecting health and will also introduce my client while looking at the factors affecting his PIES. In section C, I will collect life style records of Mr. Jayaweera, who is my client to look at his PIES in detail and prepare health plans. Section D will look at how my plans are SMART. This will give a description about how the plans will benefit my client. Note: The bracketed information at the end of some sentences refers to the bibliography. E.g.: (Bib.1) refers to the first source in the
Unit 1 P4 and Unit 4 P1
Describe the social and political factors that make people different from each other In the following document I am going to look at the social and political factors that make people different from each other. The four categories that I am going to examine are age, gender, social class and ethnicity. Age Age is the length of time in which a human being has existed. There are a number of different age groups in society. People are usually grouped as children, youths, young adults, middle-ages and elderly. People in each group share experiences. They also have something different to offer society. For example, elderly people are wise and working adults make contributions to the economy. People in different age groups may live, think and behave differently but are equally important and should have equal opportunities in life. Factors that make people different from each other concerning age are: * Abilities: as people get older they have had more experience in life than someone who is still a youth. For example, an adult has more knowledge about life and can deal with difficult situations. An adult can make a decision within a couple of minutes whereas a child may take a couple of hours to decide what to do. On the other hand as you get older you start to lose your memory making it hard for you to remember information that years ago would have been easy to remember. Your
