Why should a health information manager possess a fundamental understanding of the law?

Ivanshal [37]

We define health as a state of complete physical, social and mental wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

From this definition you can see that health has three dimensions – physical, mental and social – which are interrelated and influence each other greatly.

Physical health relates to the efficient functioning of the body and its systems, and includes physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness.

Mental health is a state of wellbeing in which an individual:

recognises their own abilitiescan cope with the normal stresses of lifecan work productively and fruitfullyis able to contribute to their community.

Social health involves being able to interact with others and participate in the community in both an independent and cooperative manner.

Some examples of how events can influence all dimensions of health:

Example 1: A 16 year old male is involved in a car accident and breaks his pelvis, rendering him unable to attend school, or play football with the local club he loves.

His physical health is affected by the damage done to his pelvic bones and a loss of fitness, which in turn has prevented him from maintaining social contact at school and football, decreasing his ability to interact with others and have good social health. His isolation may also reduce his mental health as he may feel lonely and depressed.

Example 2: A 33 year old woman develops depression.

Depression causes feelings of hopelessness, stress and loss of interest in normal activities, negatively impacting her mental health. This may decrease her desire to exercise or prepare healthy food, leading to weight gain and loss of fitness, reducing her physical health. Her depression may mean that she isn’t interested in interacting with others and participating in her community, and her moodiness puts a strain on her relationship with her husband, reducing her social health.

Answer:

1. Set of foods that increases absorption of iron into the blood stream and that will not interfere with its absorption process should be combined.

2 .Iron-fortified foods should be taken along with Vitamin C. The latter vitamin oxidizes iron to aid its absorption in the gut, and its mobilization from the liver for absorption.

Examples of Iron rich foods.

→Green leafy vegetables, (broccoli, Spinach),

→citrus fruits, cashews.

→Meat and fish:beef, Oysters, Shrimp, liver, tuna, salmon.

→Raw Milk.,Cheese,

→These foods should be combined with iron-fortified cereals for maximum iron absorption.

3.Foods rich in calcium should not be combined with Iron-fortified foods , since Calcium affects iron absorption in the duodenum.

Foods that impedes Iron absorption.

→Tea and coffee act as inhibitor to Iron absorption upto, 64%

→Nuts and seeds(unless taken with Vitamin C)

→Pumpkin seeds, cashew, pine nuts

→Diary products Contains Calcium and should be avoided.

→tannin rich fruits (grapes, corn);

→gluten rich foods(oats, pasta),

→chocolate and other oxalic rich foods e.g peanuts, interfere with iron absorption, and therefore should not be combined with Iron rich foods.

Evaluate the impact of risky behaviour on your personal expectations in relation to the career you want to follow... like i want

Lisa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Risky behavior defines that behavior which is riskier to the life of people

As if you want to choose a career in a Nurse or a Doctor you want to judge the risk.

As a doctor, if the doctor gives the high dosage to the patient to recover from illness but even less dosage also works still the doctor gives which affect the kidney, liver of the patient, etc

Well, it is a great career as a doctor you can help many poor people by giving them free medical treatment in return you get the blessings which surely worked.

But there are many hospitals who are taking extraordinary charges even they do transplants, surgeries where there is no need just to earn the money but this is not acceptable and in one day everyone knows about it what they are doing

Therefore do not play with the life of the people as it is precious for them.
