When we went out of the patient’s room, I felt a little strange so I asked my buddied nurse: ‘Do we need to watch patient eat these pills before we leave’. She said: ‘This patient has been here for a long time. I know she will eat the medications’. After my buddied nurse told me her reason, I didn’t say anything. I thought my buddied nurse have more knowledge and experience so maybe we are not necessary to watch patient eating pills, but I also felt it is not
Her obesity was causing her to not expel carbon dioxide and she was struggling to breathe. While in the hospital they were able to get her weight down significantly and placed her on a ventilator. Once she was able to go home, they sent her with two oxygen machines to continue to help her breathe. On May 29th, 2007 an electrical contractor arrived at the Muliaga home to disconnect her power, as she owed a past due bill. Her son answered the door and showed the contractor back to Folole’s room where they discussed the balance due and the possibility of receiving assistance, as well as, additional time to pay the amount owed.

Also, in chapter 6 she explains to a mother that her child is suffering from Kwashiorkor, which is a disease caused by lack of protein but rich in high-caloric foods. She suggests that the families try to implement more meat and milk into the child’s diet. Dettwyler didn’t simply just show up at these families’ homes and request to measure their children, and command them to change their dietary habits. Instead, she used the proper form of the Malian people’s language in order to first become acquainted with them. In the very first chapter, Dettwyler mentions how each
By having the family do this exercise it will identify patterns that they can change and help to customize a dietary program for them. I would then have them identify what a realistic goal is for each family member, given that the Mom is basically a single mother during the week, the son is a diabetic with a fairly sedentary lifestyle and that the youngest member, the daughter is active in dance. I might also have a nutritionist come for a session to discuss what a healthy diet is and how easily they can achieve healthy eating even on a busy schedule or while traveling. A nutritionist would also be beneficial for the diabetic members of the household in explaining what they should eat and how to manage their diabetes in the most effective way. Outcome Evaluation I believe these interventions are appropriate for this family because they have a
it’s a great thing to do, I just could not do it being a single parent with other children in the home. Breast feeding was hard for me , because my baby seemed to never get enough. Just when I think that he has had enough milk. There had been times when I actually had to stand at the stove and cook dinner for my other children, while holding and breast feeding my baby; yeah that’s sounds dangerous, but that’s what I had to do in order to have my dinner prepared on time and to feed baby. In breast feeding you have to be sure that you are eating healthy.
When Doña Josefa became sick because of malnutrition, Paulita decided to share her food with her and the governor, who wanted to know where she had gotten it from. She told the governor that the clay figure, whom she called Ekheko, had the power to make food appear when needed, she did not want to put Isidro at risk of being caught and tortured. The whole house survived
We should care about our environment by ordering smaller amounts of food when in restaurants. Many people in the restaurants order too much food especially in buffets but when they finish their dinner, we can see there are still have some food left on the dishes. I was one of them who always wasted food when I was done with my meal. I didn’t realize that the food I tossed in the trash could impact our environment and lead to pollution concerns. In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food.
Unfortunately, student and parents rely on these lunches because they do not have the income to be able to afford either full-priced or homemade lunches. The only foreseeable way for American students to receive healthier lunches in their school cafeterias is if someone can create a solution to the cost problems. To fully understand the cost problem behind all of this, one must first understand that processed and pre-made foods are much less expensive than healthier, homemade alternatives. For example, if someone was going to make a lasagna dinner for their family they would be much more likely to want homemade lasagna because homemade is always better tasting and also healthier than pre-made frozen lasagna. However, when looking at the cost of both options,
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Sierra says as she wipes away the tears from her cheeks, “just tired.” “Okay, well dinner will be ready soon. Do you want me to fix you up a plate?” her mother asked anxiously. “I’m not hungry” “Okay, I’ll put the left overs in the fridge if you want some later,” says her mother sounding concerned. “Okay mom” she says hoping her mom would go back down stairs and leave her alone so she could sneak off into the bathroom without being caught by her mom so she doesn’t have to explain why her face is all puffy and red like she has just been crying for 3 hours, even though she had been. She hurries off to the bathroom and closes the door very quietly so no one can hear her, not even her dog.
