[CT257.5] Understand how issues of public concern may affect the image and delivery of services in the sector The public may affect the image and delivery of service as the public concern may be raised through media coverage on the tv and through press correspondents. [CU1527.1] Know the principles of healthy eating for children and young people Assessment Criteria The eat well plate shows the different types of food we need to eat and in what proportions to have a well-balanced and healthy diet. Children and young people need to have a correct balance of nutrients and food for them to develop and grow properly. The right balance helps to improve their concentration, builds up their strength and gives plenty of energy. 1.1 Outline the nutritional requirements of a healthy diet for children and young people The nutritonal requirements of a healthy diet for children and young people include: vitamins, minerals and protein, mixed with fibers which dont include salt and sugar.
There have been many studies on diet and how it effects a child’s growth and physical development and ability to learn. The results have shown that a child who has a nutritious and healthy diet achieves more in life. However it can be difficult for some families to provide a healthy diet for their child and thus can result in poorer health and physical issues. This may cause them then to have difficulties in the ability to learn normally. The environment a child is in can also play a significant part in all aspects of their development.
Within the studies researched there were possibly skewed results due to a small number of participants, some of the studies had a short duration, and dosing protocols were different. But the studies did discover that patients showed improved hemoglobins with short intervals of receiving vitamin C post dialysis treatment and also showed that the need for large doses of Epogen changed with addition of vitamin c to their regimen. Nephrology nurses can use this knowledge when monitoring lab values, as they may see increased Hgb levels when Vitamin C is introduced and will need to adjust the patients epogen doses. Lastly nurses need to be apprised to side effects related to vitamin C use and monitor and assess their patients for signs of hyperoxalemia such as noted crystals in the tissue of the body, cardiovascular changes and symptoms and vascular changes. Summary In summary, this research found that there was some benefit of using Vitamin C for improving hemoglobins in patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis.
In particular, key social factors considered under this model include the impact of poverty, poor housing, diet and pollution on persons’ health. For instance, poor housing and poverty may prove to be catalysts to respiratory problems, and in response to these causes and origins of ill health, an objective of the socio-medical model is to encourage society to provide better housing and introduce programs to tackle poverty, and these propositions are seen as viable solutions. The socio-medical model encourages people to live healthy lifestyles, it looks at the cause of the illness and tries to change the factor that causes the illness to prevent it from continuing rather than only giving when diagnosis and only medical treatment. The factors which the socio-medical model suggest is also a cause of ill health such as poor housing, poverty and diet can have a strong impact on the over health and wellness of individuals, communities and countries. The model emphasises preventing and changing the cause of an illness on a more natural way instead of relying on medication.
Nine out of 10 infants who get HBV at birth will have chronic infection unless they receive immediate treatment. Hepatitis C: A new treatment for Hepatitis C which includes a longer-acting form of interferon has been found to cure more patients and cause less side effects, in a study conducted in 81 medical centers. Prevention: Hepatitis A: To prevent hepatitis A, we should stop eating foods contaminated during handling, raw shellfish harvested from water contaminated with the virus and swallowing contaminated water or ice. Hepatitis B: To prevent this people need to use protection during sex, use new needles during injections, use new tools for a tattoo, and try to avoid using others personal
Both figures are significantly higher than for the previous year. The chief medical officer for England, Prof Dame Sally Davies, said: "Whooping cough is highly contagious and newborns are particularly vulnerable. "It's vital that babies are protected from the day they are born - that's why we are offering the vaccine to all pregnant women." The vaccine will be offered during routine antenatal appointments with a nurse, midwife or GP. The vaccination programme is only temporary to deal with the heightened risk of whooping cough infection during this outbreak.
Assist expert or other employers explore more effective prevention and treatment of obesity in childhood. Third, collaborator can be one of the role of nurse in promote targeting children obesity. Ribbitt also holds that nurses should work with a number of the multidisciplinary team in addressing childhood obesity as it is a major health issue with long-time morbidities. Cemden and Gallagher (2009) also state that dietician may be needed to give guidance and help client to meet their nutrition goal. The community nurse also work as clinician.

Another strategy in helping with the homeless would be to become educated on different beliefs and values.
Creating awareness that ensures that healthcare insurance that healthcare insurance coverage is easily affordable to this group. This group may also benefit from prevention programs that are community based. Living healthy wellness living is a way to prevent or reduce rate of mortality and morbidity for minority group.

Firstly, aged care and cultural training is required for health and aged care professionals to improve the quality of services provided to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Secondly, education on health conditions is a very useful strategy for both elderly Aboriginal people and younger people, for example, dietary change, losing weight, stopping smoking and increasing physical activity are key factors in diabetes management. Eating a healthy nutritional diet will prevent many chronic diseases (Mark, 2011). Physical inactivity is a preventable risk factor closely associated with mortality and poor health and combined with obesity can have a greater influence on one’s health. Thirdly, the most efficient way for poor health, community services for older Aboriginal people is availability of transport.
