Healthcare providers recommend breast feeding infants?

/in /by

Why do most developmental psychologists and healthcare providers recommend breast feeding infants. In your answer refer to specific research and list three advantages of breast feeding.

Breastfeeding can help protect babies against some short- and long-term illnesses and diseases. Breastfed babies have a lower risk of asthma, obesity, type 1 diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Breastfed babies are also less likely to have ear infections and stomach bugs.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a breastfeeding?
Women who breastfeed tend to recover from childbirth faster than women who choose not to nurse their babies. Breastfeeding may reduce your risk of ovarian and breast cancer. It may also decrease your chances of developing rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease as you age.

What physiological changes described in Chapter 2 are important in understanding health?

 

Based on information in Chapters 2 and 3, how might a primary prevention program be designed to prevent cardiovascular disease? (Compare your answer with the intervention types described in Chapter 5)

 

How do the ethnic differences in average longevity and in health relate to the diversity issues we examined in Chapter 1?

What are the physiological changes in the cardiovascular system as we age?
The most common aging change is increased stiffness of the large arteries, called arteriosclerosis (ahr-teer-ee-o-skluh-roh-sis), or hardening of the arteries. This causes high blood pressure, or hypertension, which becomes more common as we age.

Larnaka is four years old and has been diagnosed with a communication disorder called dyspraxia which affects her speech (no movement issues). Larnaka understands what she is wanting to communicate and confidently interacts verbally with others, however, her speech is unclear and difficult to understand by both children and other adults. Larnaka has been observed more recently playing by herself and her interactions with others are becoming less. The other children are often heard saying “I don’t know what she wants”. You are very concerned about both her emotional and social development.

1. Give three examples of how this communication disorder may affect other areas of development?
2. Identify two theorists that advocate the importance of developing a sense of belonging.
3. Use these two theories to develop two strategies you would implement to strengthen Larnika’s sense of belonging.
4. Identify one piece of information which would be useful to exchange with Larnika’s family to assist her sense of belonging at the center and support her learning needs.
5. Give two examples of strategies you could use to develop this relationship with the family.

How can one conduct an effective study of Integrative Behavioural Couples Therapy?

Group of answer choices

Train therapists in the community to deliver Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy in a laboratory-based study, and compare treatment outcomes to those obtained with graduate-level therapists.

 

Bring couples into the lab to receive treatment from graduate-level supervised therapists and evaluate change in relationship satisfaction from pre- to post-treatment.

 

Bring couples into the lab to receive either Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy or Emotion Focused Couple Therapy and compare outcomes in the two treatments.

 

Train therapists in the community to deliver Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy and compare the outcomes to couples who receive treatment as usual in the community.

 

 

What surprising finding emerged for couples’ who completed the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) in Rogge and colleagues’ (2014) study of relationship education interventions at UCLA?

Group of answer choices

Higher divorce rate at follow-up

 

Marital satisfaction decreased over time

 

Hostile communication was maintained over time

 

Empathy decreased over time

 

Perceived support decreased over time

 

 

Regarding marriage enhancement, or prevention programs, which of the following statements is TRUE?

Group of answer choices

A problem with evaluating the outcome research on PREP is that most of the studies did not employ random assignment.

 

There is some preliminary evidence that a variant of PREP (Self-PREP) used in Australia may actually be harmful to high-risk couples.

 

Preliminary evidence indicates that CARE couples are more satisfied than PREP couples at the end of the three-year follow-up.

 

Couples who participate in PREP are better at solving problems and communicating. However, they do not tend to be any more satisfied than non-PREP couples.

 

 

As described in your text, Halford, Sanders, and Behrens (2001) examined the effectiveness of a self-regulation version of the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (Self-PREP) for couples at low and high risk for marital distress. Couples either received Self-PREP or a placebo control. Which of the following is an accurate description of the results of this study?

Group of answer choices

There was no difference between the Self-PREP and the control conditions for either high or low-risk couples

 

All couples who were administered Self-PREP did much better over time than couples who received the control condition

 

High-risk couples did better when they received the Self-PREP program, but low-risk couples were actually more likely to deteriorate over time if they received the Self-PREP program rather than the control condition

 

Low-risk couples did well regardless of which condition they were in, while high-risk couples did much better if they received the Self-PREP program

 

Treatment techniques for glaucoma

Medical Experience Paper
Glaucoma
In Asia, glaucoma is one of the typical eye disorders that are well-known among people. Since a few years ago, my uncle’s vision has been worse, but he hasn’t given his eyes any attention. Because he had a fine visual acuity until a few years ago, he felt that his vision would recover spontaneously in a short period of time. Even Though most of the families including myself urged that should consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible, he refused since the symptoms didn’t appear to be worrisome. He mentioned that he suffered a little blurry vision, therefore he didn’t believe it was a severe concern. A few years later when he began to get glaucoma, his vision went worse and he virtually couldn’t see things correctly. After he saw an ophthalmologist, we discovered out that the ailment he had was glaucoma. Because it’s been a long time since he had the condition, most of his vision was gone, and impossible to recover. Because many individuals in my own nation are having glaucoma, I decided I should undertake a study regarding this ailment.

The eyes are one of the primary organs associated with our particular senses. Special senses associated with the eye are visual sensory systems that enable us to observe.
Eyes are positioned in the orbits of our skull, two paired hollow spheres located on either side of the nose. We’ll concentrate on the eyeball, which is located within the eye, as the eyelids and eyelashes cover the eyeball’s exterior. The anatomical structure of the interior eyeball may be characterized by three separate layers, which are the fibrous layer, vascular layer, and neural layer. The deepest layer of the eyeball, the neural layer, is surrounded by the fibrous layer and vascular layer, which are its two outer layers. The neural layer, which is also referred to as the retina, is made up of two layers: a shallow layer made up of pigmented epithelium and a deeper layer made up of photoreceptor cells. The role of the shallow layer of the neural layer is the scattering of light pigment whereas the function of the deep layer is sensing light. The conversion of light into nerve signals is the sole function of the photoreceptor cells. Blood veins in the choroid provide nourishment to the epithelium and photoreceptor cells in the retina.

The central rational artery, which “enters the eye via the optic nerve,” provides nutrition to the deeper neuronal components of the retina (Amerman, E., p. 407, emphasis added) (2019). The optic nerve is the essential structure that is intimately associated with the etiology of glaucoma.
One of the principal causes of glaucoma is an injury to the optic nerve by excessive intraocular pressure. There is a clear fluid positioned in the front section of the eyeball, aqueous humor, which helps the eye maintain inflated. To maintain the eye’s homeostasis of ocular pressure, the eye continuously produces aqueous humor and drains a similar quantity when fresh aqueous humor is created. Intraocular pressure, or too much aqueous fluid, causes an increase in eye pressure (IOP). Glaucoma develops when there is an excess of aqueous fluid and the ocular pressure continues to rise.
The retina and the optic nerve are compressed and damaged when they exit the eye as a result of the pressure being applied to the vitreous fluid.
(E. Amerman, page 407, (2019). There are other than high intraocular pressure (IOP) such as poor ocular blood flow, and aging.
The majority of glaucoma sufferers are unaware that they have the condition and only become aware of their symptoms when the majority of their optic nerves have been destroyed. Low visual acuity, hyperemia, headaches, blindness, and high intraocular pressure are all recognized as glaucoma symptoms. My uncle also lost his prime opportunity to stop the progression of further eye diseases since the prevalence of glaucoma-related blindness is steadily rising. Because there isn’t a complete recovery for glaucoma sufferers, it’s extremely vital to contact an ophthalmologist as soon as feasible after experiencing decreased visual acuity compared to the past.

A cataract is a condition that affects the eyes similarly. The symptoms of cataracts are quite similar to glaucoma which is a clouded vision of eyesight, however, the process of differential diagnosis is different. For glaucoma patients, a test called funduscopy is utilized and for cataracts, a mydriasis test is used. My uncle also evaluated the eye condition by funduscopy and identified it as glaucoma.
The initial treatment techniques for glaucoma include administering eye drops that decrease the intraocular pressure (IOP), and taking intraocular pressure (IOP) medication to lower the eye pressure. After intraocular pressure (OP) is decreased, laser therapy is performed to the eyeball to generate a small hole in the iris, the anterior layer of the vascular layer, to drain the aqueous humor. Draining aqueous fluid will assist to reestablish the equilibrium of ocular pressure.
After therapy, any changes to the eye’s visual field need visual assessment. Keeping track of eye issues by attending ophthalmology clinics and taking medicine is crucial. My uncle is receiving numerous glaucoma meds and he mentioned his eye health isn’t increasing as before. I was concerned that I would get glaucoma. Despite the fact that my uncle is struggling with the illness, I didn’t know much about glaucoma. As a result, I decided to learn more about the condition and spread awareness of it to others in my community.
