Pretest: communication and child care

Health
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

An important part of an early years childcare worker's job is the ability to communicate with a wide variety of people. The childcare worker must develop communication skills in order to work effectively with children, parents/carers, colleagues and other professionals. Good communication skills help with effective interaction.

Effective communication involves listening, understanding and responding to people. In order to develop listening skills, you need to pay attention to what's being said. You must think about what's being said and respond in a way that will encourage the person to keep talking. To show that they're paying attention, the childcare worker should ensure that they look at the person who's speaking and make eye contact without staring excessively. Asking questions will show an interest and it's important not to interrupt the speaker. You also need to make encouraging sounds and use short words or sentences.

Communication includes facial expressions and body language, e.g. gestures (non-verbal communication). You should respond to what's being said with facial expressions, e.g. a smile, a frown or a nod. A childcare worker can appear open, friendly or unfriendly depending on body language and tone of voice.

For others to be encouraged to listen, they need to feel comfortable so the childcare worker needs to make them feel at home. Standing too close to someone can make them feel uncomfortable, but standing too far away can give the impression that the childcare worker isn't interested in them. The body language of the listener can sometimes show whether or not they feel at home, and so you should try to respond appropriately to this.

Children often want to be close to an adult when speaking to them so the childcare worker should ensure that they go down to the children's level by sitting or crouching next to them. Standing above them can make them feel uncomfortable.

Key features of effective communication

listening carefully

seeing the effect of your words and gestures on others

demonstrating empathy

being non-judgmental

being considerate of other people's feelings and moods

adjusting your communication method to the person or scenario

showing an interest in other people

showing respect towards the views, traditions and beliefs of the person you're communicating with

Answer: C

Explanation: Well i think that overall the hospital should have been more well pre-paired as all the other answers are very good options, so i think that c is your best bet!

Answer:

  • <u>"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."</u>
  • <u>"Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."</u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

To answer this question, we just need to know the following:

  • <em>What's the average amount of body fat one should have?</em>

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and WebMD, men aged 20 to 39 should have 8%-19% body fat, and women of the same age group should have 21%-32% body fat. UCSDB ScienceLine states, "Before adolescence average body fat is 18% in both boys and girls. However, after age 13 boys drop 2-3% in body fat and girls gain 8-10% in body fat," (due to puberty). We know that Jimmy is a high school student, and high schoolers are typically 14-18. Thus, he should be nowhere near 33% of body fat to have the adequate amount, nor is he underweight.

With this information, we can rule out, "Jimmy is likely underweight and may be malnourished," and, "Jimmy has a healthy body composition and has adequate fat stores."

  • <em>What increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure? Does body fat have to do with it?</em>

According to The Obesity Action Coalition, "Being 'overweight' (BMI of 25-29.9), or affected by obesity (BMI of 30-39.9) or severe obesity (BMI of 40 or greater), <u>greatly increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.</u>"

According to WebMD, "So being overweight or obese can raise your chances of high triglycerides and, in turn, <u>high cholesterol</u>..."

According to Cleveland Clinic, "How are obesity and heart disease related? Obesity affects more than 40% of the U.S. population. The excess fat in obesity was originally thought to be harmless (benign). However, we now know that excess fat causes chemical changes in your blood that <u>increase your heart disease risk.</u>"

According to WebMD, "As your body weight increases, your blood pressure can rise. In fact, being overweight can make you <u>more likely to develop high blood pressure</u> than if you are at your desirable weight."

  • Note: "Body fat percentage distinguishes fat from muscle and calculates the percentage of body fat in the body. While BMI is a rough estimate of body fat, body fat percentage is a more accurate number. BMI, but not overfat" (Goshen Health).

To conclude, the most logical answers would be, "Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes," and,"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."

Hope that helps! <3
