Imagine being fifteen, pregnant, dysfunctional or no family or male support, you smoke and/ or drink as a means of coping, low income, high school dropout, and probable history of abuse. What would it take to pierce through the darkness surrounding such a patient? The answer would differ for each individual. Describe the impact of extremely low birth weight babies on family and society (short and long term, including economic considerations, ongoing care considerations, and comorbidities
WIC serves pregnant women and children under five years old- the ages at which nutricional sufficiency is most critical for brain development and long-term good health. At last count, almost half the nation’s infants were on WIC which serves people up to 185% of the poverty level. If this program were to be cut, it would affect the poor that already run low on resources and nutritional direction. A number of studies have shown that WIC is associated with better birth outcomes for at-risk populations. WIC has also repeatedly shown to return well- every dollar spent on WIC reduces health care and other costs between 1.77 and 3.50.
Estimate how much profit P&G can expect to generate in 2011 from Sesame Street Pampers 5. Estimate Sesame Street Pampers’ market share in 2011. The market for disposable diapers is generally considered mothers between the ages of 18 to 45 that select the diaper. (There are other institutional segments such as hospitals, businesses, and daycare facilities.) A baby averages 5 diapers per day for 30 months.
Those at highest risk of teen pregnancy are girls from single parent homes, families with low socioeconomic status, and girls with a sister who became pregnant as a teenager (Talashek, Alba, & Patel, 2006). A significant risk factor identified by the National Center for the Prevention of Teenage Pregnancy (NCPTP) is that 75% of pregnant teens have mothers who were also pregnant as a teenager (VanLenten, 200?). The lifestyle of the average teenager is not conducive to fetal development. Teen mothers are more likely to smoke, eat a fast food diet, less likely to have adequate prenatal care, and more
a) Outline and Explain reasons for the growth in singlehood in the contemporary UK. [15] Singlehood in the UK has grown over the years, for example, women born between 1946 and 1950, only 7% remained unmarried, however women born between 1961 and 1965, 28% of women remained unmarried, with a similar trend for men. The growth for singlehood could be for a number of different reasons. People are now taking advantage of the new divorce law, and the changing views on singlehood. People are also expecting more from marriage, and women especially are choosing to live alone due to feminist views.
This is due to social class. The higher the class the higher the standard of care. Researchers found that some of the 7500 deaths that are among people younger than the age of 65 could have been prevented could have been prevented if inequalities in wealth narrowed to their 1983 levels. If a baby girl is born in leeds she is more than twice as likely to die in the first year of life compared to an infant girl growing up in a dorset town. Alot of studies into health inequalities rely on morality, death, and morbidity, illness, data.
Most babies born with a birth weight less than 2,500 grams and this called the low birth weight. The Indigenous mother are twice as likely to be of low birth weight however the babies born to non-indigenous mothers are more likely to be healthy. Low birth weight babies are more level to ill health problems during childhood and this may be more risk when the baby become older. Many reasons, the indigenous mother likely to have a baby’s birth weight might include socioeconomic disadvantages, the size and age of mother, the mother’s health issue, smoking and other risk behaviours also the period time of pregnancy (Australian Institute 2012). The nutritional state of Indigenous people is unfair by socioeconomic disadvantage and environmental.
During the early 20th century the suffragette movement passed, meaning equal rights for women led to changes, allowing more freedom to the opposite sex. This new found freedom saw a reduction in birth rates and many women took their freedom to pursue dream careers, once laughed at by the male population. Also in 1967 abortion became legalised giving families the choice of having a child as if accidentally they conceived a child they could have the embryo killed. Another key date of birth rate changes was after WW2 as the men who had been serving away had returned home, and due to the lack of affection overseas many couples conceived children, this was known as the baby boom. The population structure has changed due to the introduction of health and safety and health care, as there has been a decline in dangerous jobs as health and safety rulings have stops man working in such conditions, also the NHS was established in 1948, since then free health care has been conducted, and due to advancements in technology medical treatment has improved also the sanitation of hospitals and equipment is a lot safer as the bacterial infections are now understood.
My decision would be to abort the pregnancy. The outlook for this couple’s future would consist of multiple prenatal appointments, consultations with different specialists and multiple testing. They may have an increase in cost for health care while pregnant and after the child is born, especially after 6 months of age. They both work 60 hours a week and are both older adults. She is 43 years old and is considered AMA, advanced maternal age.
Like most other societies, it is deeply thought that the birth of a female child rather than male, was a disappointment. With the Hindu's we see a new aspect that developed rituals to avoid having a daughter. They also dedicated gods to pray to, so that their daughter may find a husband and be taken from them. The practice of marrying girls off young also was passed from the Greeks, but as Clay describes they take the age difference to a further level when she writes, "By the Gupta period, prepubescent marriages had become more common, girls as young as eight years old were married off to men and even sometimes three times their age. In the Gupta society, the women also were forced to be much more trapped than in any other societies.
