./Support Individuals to eat and drink HSC 2014 Mary Steer 23/07/2013 1.3 I give care and support to an individual who is obese and is diabetic. This particular client has a tendency to eat sweet foods and pastries. She had in previous time lost some weight which had left her with a roll of excess skin hanging from the bottom of her stomach and the promise of an operation to remove this, pointed us in the right direction. I started to take her food shopping and helping her recognise what foods are good and what are bad. This was done by reading labels and checking fat, salt and sugar content and also by selecting diabetic foods and fresh foods.
Often just knowing that we are thirsty as opposed to hungry will lead to a better choice being made in selecting drink over food. As cognitive function deteriorates in the dementia patient these decisions are obviously effected more so. In the extreme a dementia patient will not realise that they are dehydrated or that they are hungry and will go without food and drink for longer periods then perhaps is healthy unless they are prompted by their carers to receive nutrition This factor must also be balanced against the fact that older, sentient, people often need less food and drink then younger more active people and a good carer will also be conscious of this Dementia can effect the choices that a person makes on the type of food they want to eat. For example we have a lady called Joyce who prefers foods (and drinks) that are white. (She also prefers her chair to be white so you can see the level of dementia being dealt with here).

TASK 2 (P2) – Explain different psychological approaches to health practice. (P3) – Explain different psychological approaches to social care practice. Health practice is the act of a care professional that performs activities, methods and treatments in order to keep an individual health whether it is to do with diet, exercise, or bad habits such as smoking and excessive drinking. Social care practice is the act of a care professional that concentrates on and supports the social and personal needs of an individual. This can be shown with activities and methods such as counselling and therapy.
In ‘action’, they have made the change and living the new set of behaviours is an all-consuming activity. In ‘maintenance’, the change has been integrated into the person’s life – they are now more ‘enterprising’. Relapse is a full return to the old behaviour. This is not inevitable – but is likely – and should not be seen as failure. With Peter at the contemplation stage, now is a good time to discuss changing his behaviour.
Psychology of Health in the Workplace Diana Ayala HCA/250 September 22, 2013 Amy Foster Psychology of Health in the Workplace There is a distinct relationship between health and psychology due to a person’s medical history and its impact on behavior and wellbeing. Well-being is determined by the status of your health. In the 13th century, St Thomas Aquinas stated that the mind and body functioned in sync, grabbing the attention of other philosopher, leading to the discovery that microorganisms cause illness in the 18th and 19th century.

At the age 20 of Miss Gladys started suffering from uncontrolled hypertension which runs in her family and contributed to her parents’ death, Miss Gladys is short in height and overweight. What Nutrition related risk factors have you identified in her eating pattern? The Nutrition related risk factors I identified in her eating patterns are high blood cholesterol and obesity/overweight which are caused as a result of eating large breakfast with ham, eggs, bacon which contains high cholesterol and drinking large container of soda at every meal which contains high level of sugar. Because hypertension runs in her family linage therefore her cholesterol level may be affected by heredity. The result of excess body fat increases the risk to develop heart disease and stroke even if they have no other risk factor.
Childhood Obesity Terenda Jones ENG 122 English Comp II Instructor: Sharon Hanscom June 4, 2012 Childhood Obesity Childhood Obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. In my finding the definition of “overweight and obesity are the result of “calorie imbalance”—two few calories expanded for the amount of calories consumed—and are affected by various genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors.”(www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/obesity). The nature of this disease obesity starts from birth. Researching this information is important because kids are not being active because they are overweight and become restless and tired easily. In this paper I will discuss how this starts from birth dealing with genetics
