You will investigate the precautions, which are intended to preserve the safety of both staff and individuals who use the services. You will consider the key legislation, policies and procedures, which outline the responsibilities of social care workers within a range of settings. An examination of risk assessments and the responsibilities of professionals with regard to overall health and safety is included in the unit. Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria In order to pass this unit, the evidence that you need to present for assessment needs to demonstrate that you can meet all the learning outcomes for the unit. The assessment criteria determine the standard required to achieve the unit.
The heart needs to pump faster or harder to complete this job. During a 400m race, this would enhance performance by removing unnecessary waste products from the muscles and supplying more oxygen to the muscles. Increase Stroke Volume and Cardiac Output Stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped out of one ventricle with each beat. Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart every minute. It is calculated by stroke volume x heart rate.
Case Study Using the following American Heart Association (AHA) resources on blood lipids and heart disease, determine the risk of heart disease for the following three people and make recommendations on what they need to do to modify their blood lipids and lower their risk. * Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations Revision 2006: A Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association Nutrition Committee: http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/114/1/82 * Go to this link and do a search on blood lipids: http://americanheart.org * Scientific Statement on Managing Abnormal Blood Lipids: http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/112/20/3184#TBLU13 * Executive Summary of the Scientific Statement on Diagnosis and
Associate Program Material Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: • What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? The energy in fuel is converted into ATP, most ATP is made within the mitochondria. ATP powers the cells within muscles. • What is the role of glycolysis? Include the reactants and the products.

Each time a cross-bridge from the myosin filament releases from an actin filament energy is used. Therefore, the more muscle tissue you have,and the more you use it, the greater your energy expenditure'which is also caloric expenditure. 5.) Define and describe concentric and eccentric muscle actions. Define motor unit.
Unit 1 – communication and supportive skills Communication is important in almost all fields. Communication helps you to understand what the other person is saying. It is also an important strategy in order to deliver what you or the other person is trying to say. The role of communication is to develop new skills and clearly understand the service user in order to give the best possible health care. As a health professional if you want to deliver good quality care you need to communicate effectively and it will also help you to learn the needs of your client this is important because so that the service user knows they are in good hands and it also gives them an idea on what is going to happen.
Before starting a patient on warfarin, assess the patient’s baseline coagulation status; for all patients receiving warfarin therapy, use a current International Normalized Ratio (INR) to adjust this therapy. The baseline status and current INR are documented in the medical record. 2. Use authoritative resources to manage potential food and drug interactions for patients receiving warfarin 3. A written policy addresses baseline and ongoing laboratory tests that are required for
The sympathetic nerves increase the heart rate, constrict blood vessels to raise blood pressure, and elicit a “fight or flight” response. The parasympathetic nerves do the opposite by decreasing the heart rate, dilating the blood vessels, and stimulating the digestive
Cardiovascular system: The heart pumps the blood around the whole body in order to carry oxygen in which the individual will be able to breather. Older adults may develop narrow arteries and other blood vessels; this is because many fats have increased inside the body in which increases the cholesterol levels and so the walls of the arteries are being narrowed, this may gradually become blocked if not taken care of. This is known as âatherosclerosisâ, it defines âatheroâ which conveys the fatty/unhealthy deposits, and âsclerosisâ conveys the arteries becoming much hardened. This process may consequently end up in an increase of the blood pressure which puts the individual at risk of stroke; this is when the blood is unable to reach the brain and may cause a heart attack. The heart is used the hardest in this life stage as the arteries harden the heart needs to pump harder and faster to ensure that the individual is still alive, this however, is considered a big risk for the individual as the blood pressure may increase to such that the individual may have a heart attack.
