Mu 2.8 contribute tithe support of the positive environments for children and young people 3.1 explain how effectively care for childrens and young peoples skin hair and teeth. It's part of children's learning about self care and personal hygiene. We can help them do this by encouraging to wash hands before and after eating, after using the toilet and washing their faces with individual flannels. It's also important to teach them the difference between hot and cold water such as red means hit and blue means cold on taps to prevent them burning themselves whilst at the same never leaving a child unattended with water. Babies are different from children they need their nappies changed regularly to prevent any sores or infections and moisturising the skin well.
They cite variance and noncompliance as the issue for their infection rate. They decided to use SwabCap® as a trial, because the cap can only be twisted on one way, which would eliminate variance. Also, the ease of use, bright orange color, and quick application would help eliminate noncompliance. In December 2010, the caps were implemented hospital wide for use on all central lines. By February 2011, it was revealed to only have a 34% compliance rate.

Mitch McNamara 3012456 Engl.102-AS14 Dr. Ford October 18, 2013 Causes of Addictions (revised) In “Embraced by the Needle” writer Gabor Maté in his expository essay argues that in a person’s childhood they need a loving non-stressed environment so they will not need to look to outside sources such as drugs for that warm comforting feeling. These life experiences initiate brain development at an early age by promoting the growth of receptors and nerve cells, which inevitably will make children less susceptible to addictions later in life. Many parents of drug addicts had childhood issues or were emotionally distressed growing up. This likely deemed them unsuitable parents and unable to provide their children with positive warm interactions
By promoting personal hygiene in your own practice and appearance, and assisting individuals that you care for, you are leading by example. 1.2 Describe the effects of poor personal hygiene on health and well being. Poor personal hygeine can initially lead to the individual developing body odour from either not washing or not changing their clothing, this can lead to the person becoming isolated as family, freinds or the wider community as they are reluctant to spend time with the person. Not keeping their body and skin clean can lead to health problems such as bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections such as athletes foot. Poor dental hygeine will first be indicated by a build up of plaque on the teeth and bad breath but can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and loss of teeth, which can make a person who already has low self esteem loose more confidence.

A study of a component in Splenda (sucralose) concluded, “There is no indication that adverse effects on human health would occur from frequent or long-term exposure to sucralose at the maximum anticipated levels of intake”. However, a Duke University study conducted on rats (funded by The Sugar Association) shows that at sucralose consumption throughout a 12-week administration of Splenda exerted numerous adverse effects, which are known to limit the absorption of nutrients and oral medications. These effects have not been the subject of some controversy, with experts disagreeing over its conclusions. 4. Examine the relationship between the sweetener that you have selected and obesity.

Shanna L. Cannoy Professor Sarah Lupinacci English 102 26 July 2011 The Effective Use of Medication is Needed for Controlling ADHD Symptoms in Children When parents have children with a health issue such as diabetes medication is sometimes necessary to control the disease. While ADHD is a mentally debilitating disorder, many people including some parents of their own children, with ADHD, will not help their child by the use of medication. It is a parent’s job to do everything possible to ensure their child’s ability to succeed with their best interest in mind. Why would a parent deny their children a sufficient way to survive better socially, academically, and emotionally when the option is present to help them do so? Robert Findling says it best with his question ‘‘Why would you want to let a child suffer unnecessarily?’’ ( qtd.
As a care worker me and my colleagues need to consider our own attitudes and interactions with a person with dementia. Any negative attitudes and interactions from others will add to the individual’s negative feelings and experience of disability. Just because they have dementia and forget things and appear confused does not mean that they don’t have feelings and emotions. A positive attitude and smiling face might help them forgetting only for a few moments how ill they really are, and brighten up their day just for a few minutes. As well as a negative attitude and a sad pitiful face might increase the individual’s negative feelings and increase the speed of the deterioration of the brain through
