Analysis of Health and Safety risks in a nursey setting.

DISCUSSION FOOD: I ticked this as a medium risk because as I was observing a staff I noticed that after changing a nappy, she failed to wash her hands afterwards, she later on moved to on to feeding a child ,while the child spilled food all over her mouth she used her hands to wipe it off, this was really unhygienic seeing as she could have infected the child with a bacteria which can then later on relate to food poisioning and I also witnessed the kids would drop bits of their food on the floor and pick it up to eat it again, the staff did not attempt to stop the kid from putting the food back in his mouth, this falls under the "(food safety act 1990)".a child had a minor burn to the tongue due to a staff not cooling down her food. Cleaning product: I ticked this as a high hazard because when the children were playing with the paints and clay a child had accidentally spilled a bottle of paint onto the floor, as this had happened a staff went to go get bleach and a bucket of water and mop, she left the bleach on the table were the kids were playing and walked off. any one of the children could possibly have tripped over the mop and bucket of water or by leaving the bleach on the table a child could possibly think it is paint and accidentally pour on themselves and others this can be dangerous because you don't know if the child will badly react to the chemical which can

CACHE Level 2: Unit 5. The 4 aspects of professional practice that I have chosen are: Non-judgemental approaches to practice Time keeping and attendance Short and long term planning Supporting colleagues

________________ D1. The 4 aspects of professional practice that I have chosen are: . Non-judgemental approaches to practice 2. Time keeping and attendance 3. Short and long term planning 4. Supporting colleagues D2. The reasons why the 4 aspects of professional practices are important because: . Non-judgemental approaches to the practice is very important because you can’t just be pointing fingers at anyone in the setting because you feel that you are right because the same thing might happen to you and you would not like to be blamed for something that you did not do. 2. Good time keeping and the attendance is very important because so many people rely on you to be carrying out your responsibilities this includes the team, the parents and the children. 3. Short and long term planning is important because you will need to use the plan for certain amount of months or years like a short term plan could be for a child or keyworker who just started in your setting and will only be there for a few months that is when the short term plan comes in but if the child or the keyworker will be there for several years or more that is where the long term plan will come in. 4. Supporting colleagues is important because you are a team and if you were to need help your colleagues would think back to the time that you helped them and help you to. When helping colleagues this would

Research into Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary Heart Disease by Siobhán Buckley What is Coronary Heart Disease? Coronary heart disease is a condition where fatty deposits and cell-proliferation build-up in the arteries supplying the heart muscle. These plaques form commonly in a condition called atherosclerosis. It is the most common form of heart disease. Coronary heart disease is most common in males and older people. It is a narrowing of the blood vessels (coronary arteries) that supply oxygen and blood to the heart. Coronary heart disease is a major cause of illness and death. Coronary heart disease is generally caused by atherosclerosis - when plaque (cholesterol substances) build up on the artery walls, causing them to narrow, resulting in less blood flow to the heart. Sometimes a clot may form which can block the flow of blood to heart muscle. Coronary heart disease commonly causes angina pectoris (chest pain), shortness of breath, heart attack (myocardial infarction) and other symptoms. About the Heart: the heart is a human fist-sized muscle that beats about 70 times per minute and pumps oxygen-rich blood around the body. After leaving the heart, blood goes to the lungs where it gathers oxygen. This oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart (from the lungs) and is pumped to organs throughout the body through arteries. The blood returns to the heart through veins and is pumped to the lungs again.

Explain the purpose of Advance Care Planning in relation to end of life care

Outcome 3 . Describe the benefits to an individual of having as much control as possible over their end of life care. By discussing the care that an individual wishes with the care home you gain a more personalised approach to caring. The individual also feels that they are more empowered and have more responsibility on how there care will be managed towards their end of life. It allows carers to know how the individual sees their end of life needs and reduces the risk of distress and upset to the individual. 2. Explain the purpose of Advance Care Planning in relation to end of life care Advance care planning is to develop a better understanding and recording of their priorities, needs and preferences for the individual and those of their families/carers. This should support planning and provision of care and enable better planning ahead to best meet these needs. This philosophy of ‘hoping for the best but preparing for the worst’ enables a more proactive approach, and ensures that it is more likely that the right thing happens at the right time. It allows for a detailed recording system that ensures that all parties that are involved in supporting the individual are aware of what they can do to comfort and understand the requests of the individual. It is there for the individual to add additional information to which can be used to review other

Demonstrate understanding of how to interact and communicate with adults in a childcare setting.

Demonstrate understanding of how to interact and communicate with adults. When approaching adults certain things need to be taken into consideration such as giving your full attention when an adult is speaking, eye contact, responding in the appropriate manner and in general showing respect to that adult. These all are needed to show you understand and to become aware of what is being said to you if it is an important issue. Also this improves communication skills when talking to adults as in the future these skills will be put to test and certain things will reply on them. There was many different staff that all had different roles amongst the nursery where I did my placement. Communication varied amongst different members of staff depending on what their role was. However the pressure eased a little as I soon found out there were other members of staff working there just like as they were college students who were doing NVQ's so therefore this gave me the ability to start speaking to them informally as I would with any other friend I would usually talk to. Thinking about a suitable subject to talk about didn't bother me as I could be myself amongst them. As the days went by I noticed that most members of staff were just a few years older than me and that I had no need to talk to them formally as they would speak to me informally like I was just another friend. However

I am going to develop an action plan for Sarah Macintosh. She is 22 and single. Sarah is slightly overweight

Action plan I am going to develop an action plan for Sarah Macintosh. She is 22 and single. Sarah is slightly overweight and despite her best efforts and 5 GCSEs cannot find a job she is happy with, she is slightly picky however. At the moment she is living with her single parent sister and her 2 children and their little dog but she is not happy with where she lives and would like to get a house of her own someday. This however is very hard because she is in huge debt and can barely afford food, often borrowing money from her sister. She can't stop buying unnecessary items of clothing from expensive designer labels. The debt and lack of independence and space has leaded her to deep depression. She understands that she is not healthy and rated her own health as 2/5 and admitted to not eating enough fruits or vegetables. She doesn't exercise but has shown some interest in trying new sports. She is a heavy smoker and has attempted to stop but still smokes a significant amount of cigarettes, wasting her money and making her ill. She has made it clear she has previously attempted to make improvements to her life (dieting, cutting down on cigarettes and eating five fruit and vegetables) but hasn't followed through and has given up or failed. To lead a happier and healthier life Sarah needs to start off by quitting smoking she should do this by first reducing the amount of

Diversity and Explain the potential effects of discriminatory practice on those who use health or social care service.

Diversity can be differences in race, heritage, customs, belief systems, physical appearance, mental capabilities, etc.. Diversity should be respected and valued because nobody is completely the same as anyone else, even within the categories above. People tend to reject what is different. Our differences/diversities can lead to growth as a society or it can lead to violence and hatred. We must value our diversity in order to work together for the common good of our society/world. Diversity provides options in life and helps thwart hard times and circumstances by allowing a person to be flexible in how to overcome obstacles instead of staying in the same trench without the ability to move out of it. Diversity means differences such as different religious beliefs, different cultural traditions, music, art, dancing etc. In the context of society and culture, diversity is usually mentioned in discussing multicultural societies. What do people from other cultures contribute when they migrate and become part of a new society. The effects of social class can be felt anywhere. Almost every aspect of society is influenced in some manner by social class. The television shows one watches, and the clothes a person buys affect social class. School, work, religious, and home lives are also linked to the influence of social classes. Schools and the workplace are greatly influenced by
