Health and social care level 2 - Human Lifespan Development
UNIT 8 ASSIGNMENT 1 : Human Lifespan Development By Lissa Williams Life Stages Types of development Examples of development Infancy (0-3 years) Physical Intellectual Emotional Social The baby can sit up without support (6 months) The baby can walk without help ( 12 months) The baby can climb onto furniture and kick a ball but cannot catch a ball (2 years) Babies start to cry to express their hunger, anger and pain. They are very curious about what is going on around them. They put anything they can hold in their hands into their mouth.( 6 months) By the age of 1 most babies should be able to name simple objects and by the age of 2 they should start to put words into easy sentences’. Babies by the age of 1 are able to learn how their behaviour can have an effect on others such as their carers/parents and are able to express their emotions through tears, facial expressions and laughter. Babies at the age of 2 are known for their temper tantrum as they struggle to express their emotions. Babies start to recognize their parents, family and friends between the ages of 3 to 6 months old. Language skills are very important as they need to communicate with other people and building relationship with others. They build a relationship with their family members first and then become friends with other people. Childhood (3-11years) Physical
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.
child development - breast-feeding versus bottle-feeding.
Child Development short task 2 Georgina Butler Introduction In this short task, I am going to produce a magazine article to highlight advantages and disadvantages of breast feeding & bottle and to help new mothers to decide the best way to feed their baby. To produce this I will need to research the advantages and disadvantages. I will also need to find opinions for both methods; I will do this by writing a questionnaire which will provide a number of different opinions. I will research how to set out an article and how to make it appealing to my target audience. I will then evaluate my article and get new mums to read it and give their opinion. Where can I get my information? Leaflets- use to find trusted information about breast and bottle feeding also analyse the way articles are set out. Text books- trusted information giving two points of view use to find out about both points of views. Parenting magazines- use to analyse articles and ideas on how to set my own article out. Formula milk company web sites – helps understand what’s in the milk and why people choose. Videos – giving peoples opinions on bottle and breast feeding. Internet- I can use it to find opinions and facts about both methods. Mothers- real experiences, opinions and views. Resources list Internet – get opinions Magazines – to see articles and get opinions Computer-
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
The age group I have selected to describe the physical and intellectual and learning development is 3 to 7 years.
Unit Two: Development from conception to age 16 years E1 The age group I have selected to describe the physical and intellectual and learning development is 3 to 7 years. It is important that intellectual development is about the way you learn to think about and reason but also about how you store and process the information at the age of 3 to 7 it is important you know the normative development which is typical of the age group to achieve however it is often you have milestones which is the expected development for the age group but you shall discover these through observations. The types of things expected from this age group for physical development will be different types movements and for intellectual development it will they way the child thinks and learns this development can also be linked with communication as its apart of cognitive. Physical Development The physical development stages expected for 3 to 7 years At 3 to 4 years they can steer and pedal a tricycle. At 4 to 5 years they can skip with a rope, can throw and catch a large ball. By 7 years they can balance on a beam and hop on one foot these are the gross motor skills which are skills involving movements of children between 3-7 years old, which can take quite a lot of co-ordination. Fine motor skills can be things such as turning a page in book one by one, cuts out simple shapes, colours pictures in and
Describe the ideal relationship between parents and children. How do you appreciate your parents and how do they appreciate you?
Lil Maisky Year 11 Parenting: -Describe the ideal relationship between parents and children. -How do you appreciate your parents and how do they appreciate you? (400 words) Any ideal relationship is based on the appropriate balance in between the commitment and effort of both members concerned. However, the relationship between a parent and child is far more complicated as there is a large amount of responsibility involved. Also, the child is likely to resemble one or both of the parents to a certain extent, but not be as developed or experienced as the parent, thus adding a lot of competition and argumentative aspects to the relationship. This can be more prominently observed when two members of the same sex are involved (mother and daughter...) As the age of the child increases, the responsibility of the parent decreases, most probably proportionally, and this has to be observed by the parent. One has to take into consideration that the child's young years are all that he/she has experienced and that although it's existence might only go back as far as a tiny fraction of the parents life, this cannot be understood by the child until a certain age. Therefore, when a child is growing up, it is developing and learning everything at such a quick rate in proportion to the adult's standards that the parent might not realise when it has to use more lenience in the
Communication is vital in both healthcare and social care.
Communication Communication is vital in both healthcare and social care. The patient and the healthcare professional need to understand each other clearly in order for the patient to receive the best care possible. Giving the correct care to a patient is next to impossible if their needs cannot be clearly stated. Good communication eliminates more possibility for mistakes and lets each party know what is expected of them or to them. Communication is not just as simple as talking, there are many ways in which we communicate and that is what will be addressed in this booklet. Forms of communication Non-verbal Verbal Body language Facial expressions Communication using technology Verbal communication Verbal communication is when we communicate our message, feelings, thoughts or ideas vocally to whoever is receiving the message. It is the spoken words in any different language. Good verbal communication is when you’re able to both explain and present your message clearly through spoken word and to listen carefully to the other person or people. Talking – Is when we use our mouths to speak to other people, a person, an animal or even to ourselves. Group discussion – Is when participants discuss vocally their thoughts and
Equality diversity and rights in health and social care
________________ M2,D1 Unit 2 Equality diversity and rights in health and social care M2 Assess the influence of a recent national policy initiative promoting anti discriminatory practice D1 Evaluate the success of a recent initiative in promoting anti-discriminatory practice In this criterion there will be an assessment on a recent national policy initiative and the way it promotes anti- discriminatory practice in health and social care. Individual’s rights within a health and social care setting include having access to services and medication. Services should not unlawfully discriminate service users due to their race, gender, disability, religion, belief, or sexuality. Another right of an individual within health and social care is being treated with respect and dignity. No matter what the persons circumstances are when using health or social care services they should always be treated fairly and with respect defiantly if they are in a vulnerable state. Communication is also another right of an individual. Every health and social care setting should have trained professionals who know how to convey effective communication to avoid assumptions and discrimination. As the patients or service users should feel comfortable talking to the staff and know
