This behaviour can become a core value and can require work to alter. Miss E parents may have established this behaviour in her unwittingly. Although it is also possible (judging from Miss E statement that her parents “badgered her” about food that her parents also exerted some form of control over her and her eating habits as a child , for their own reasons. Perhaps the motivations for this can be explored later with Miss E's consent? Any feelings of insecurity attached to the benefits of weight loss must be addressed also for example - Miss E's fear of changes in her own life.
Becoming depressed can make them feel like they want to be on their own most of the time therefore becoming socially isolated can also affect the nutritional needs as they don’t feel like eating and most likely wont. 1.4 Explain the importance of recognising and meeting individuals personal and cultural preferences for food and drink. It is very important to recognise what an individual likes to eat and drink and what they don’t like. If you don’t recognise these you are not meeting their preferences and that will cause them to not eat and drink instead of realising that it is something they don’t like. When you know what they do like you can always assure that there is always something available.
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).
· if something isnt understood, rephrase rather than repeat. · speak a little louder than usual. · speak a little slower than usual but not to slow that is destroys the speak rhythem. 1.3 There are many different facts that can have an impact with people with sensory loss because communication and awareness play a big part in peoples lives. The negative side of sensory loss is that they may find it hard to feed themselves, dressing themselves and that their mobility may deteariate.
The lack of social skills may end a relationship early or prevent one from starting. Lack of stimulation states that if there is a lack of stimulation, there is a lack of reward. This is likely to be a contributing factor to the breakdown of relationships. For example, boredom is often a cause of relationship breakdown. Lastly, maintenance difficulties may cause breakdowns.
In an essay, the author Tisdale elaborates as to how she felt while dieting, “I am sick of the way I acted on a diet, the way I whined, my niggardly, penny-pinching behavior” (14). what people do to their bodies because of the media really affects them more than they would like to think. Dieting usually leads to major depression and lost feelings. Tisdale had these effects, and she expands on the idea saying, “What
Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us” (Lines23-24). There are many things in this world that many people hate, but they do not let that ruin them. Many people do not like the president, but they do not let that have a large negative impact over their lives. But, things that people love have more potential to ruin them. Some people love to eat and therefore will eat too much and develop health problems.
People have the choice to reduce risk factors for illness and injuries. Personality traits and illness are linked by consciousness, emotions and reactions and describe behavior and mental processes. (Sarafino, 2011) For example, developing habits like overeating will be harmful and cause Obesity or Diabetes, but people do it anyway because they enjoy it. Excessive drinking, drug abuse, eating or smoking can hinder how well specific tasks are carried out. Unhealthy habits can lead someone to feel more irritable and lose their focus at work.
This will stop discrimination because it means that everyone is getting a choice about what they want to eat. Also there may be a diabetic who does not want to stick to their sugar free diet and this could affect them and make them ill. To overcome this problem you should try to give them advice and tell them the consequences if they don’t stick to their diet. If they still want to no longer stick to it then you can’t tell them what to do, you have to respect their
This can be caused by the mind forgetting how to do something, or making the task become more difficult to preform. Emotional- depending on the type of dementia a person has they may refuse to eat all together, this could be caused by the mind simply telling them that they are not hungry or thirsty when they actually are, this can happen quite often and is usually caused by a problem causing them to get upset or angry. Using techniques like reminiscence is a good way to encourage eating and drinking for both of these can be stimulating to smells and taste that they enjoy and in some cases find living in the past to them is normal. 1.2- Explain how poor nutrition can contribute to an individuals experience of dementia. Poor nutrition can in turn worsen the symptoms of dementia for individuals.
