Explain how perspective of health and wellbeing change as youth gets older
vovangra [49]
Young people are busy working out who they are and where they fit in the world. You might notice your child trying out new things like clothing styles, music, art or friendship groups. Friends, family, media, culture and more shape your child’s choices in these years.

Independence
Your child will probably want more independence about things like how he gets to places, how he spends his time, who he spends time with, and what he spends money on. As your child becomes more independent, it’ll probably mean some changes in your family routines and relationships, as well as your child’s friendships.

Responsibility
Your child might be keen to take on more responsibility both at home and at school. This could include things like cooking dinner once a week or being on the school council.

A nurse is caring for a child who ingested kerosene. what is the nurse's priority?
andre [41]

Nurse should check the respiratory rate first.

Kerosene ingestion can lead to damage of lungs directly, aspiration pneumonia, rapid breathing, gasping, vomiting, and persistent coughing.

<h3>How does kerosene damage humans?</h3>

There are no conclusive ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) data for kerosene because it is a chemical mixture. Kerosene is thought to be eliminated from circulation by the liver and lungs.

By inhaling liquid (aspiration), one of the main exposure routes, one is exposed. Kerosene spray applications can cause pulmonary irritation symptoms including coughing and dyspnea. Kerosene vapors can be somewhat irritating to the respiratory system. Although local irritation could arise from acute dermal exposure, it is not thought to be a skin sensitizer. Kerosene exposure may have CNS side effects such as agitation, restlessness, ataxia, sleepiness, convulsions, coma, and even death.
