...Unit 2: P1 Explain the concepts of equality, diversity and rights in relation to health and social care In a health and social care environment equality diversity and rights are essential to ensure everyone is prune to having rights and has the right to be treated equally no matter their race age or sex and also to be accepted and respected. Diversity: The concept of diversity covers acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognising our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio- economic status, age physical abilities, religious beliefs etc. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe positive and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity within each individual. Examples Genders - In the past men had more rights than women and were seen as more important. Women still earn less than men for similar work and find difficulty in breaking through the 'glass ceiling' to the most senior positions at work. There are far more derogatory terms, such as 'slag', used to describe women than men. Culture - All of us have a cultural background - activities, beliefs, values, knowledge and ideas shared by a group of people. White, middle-class culture still dominates the media and is often seen as more valuable. People feel more comfortable with others...

...Unit 2 Background information: The service user I have chosen to base my coursework on is called Jordon Hill. He is three years old and is an only child. Both his parents work therefore he attends Childs play nursery. Although Jordon’s parents are busy with work, they both try to spend as much time as a family together as possible for example family dinners, and Saturday night movies. Jordon looks forward to these quality times, as he knows his parents are mostly busy. Jordon likes to play with his parents but understands when they are busy. He loves to play with his bike in the garden, and also the trampoline. He also enjoys his favourite blue toy car and his building blocks. Jordon’s hobby is playing football with his father. Jordon does not suffer from any medical issues or diseases; however he is allergic to egg which means that the nursery cook and staff need to ensure that they are extra careful with what they feed him. Overall this isn’t a great concern and other than that he is a healthy boy. Task 1: 1. Education through play: Schools & nurseries offer a wide range of services in order to stimulate the children.

...Unit 7- sociological perspectives for health and social care P1 – Explain the principal sociological perspectives Sociological Perspectives | Main Points | Criticisms | Functionalism | Functionalist believe that just as the body functions through the efficient interrelationship of major organs and has disease, so the different institutions in society each have particular contributions to make. They work together and use methods of social control to deal with deviant members or groups, to ensure that society functions smoothly. Parsons (1902-1979) saw society as a system made up of interrelated institutions, which contributed to its smooth running and continuity. He thought that the main role of an institution is to socialise individuals and ensure that they understood the underlying values of their society and behave in acceptable ways. Murdock(1897-1985) did a study of the family, examined over 250 societies and concluded that in all societies the family performed 4 functions: * Sexual function which was allowed for the expression of sexuality in an approved context * Reproductive function which provided stability for the rearing children * Socialisation included the responsibility of teaching children the acceptable ways of behaving in society * Economic function meant that food, shelter, and financial security had to be provided for the family membersParsons(1951) argued that the family had only two basic functions which were: * The primary socialisation of children...

...Unit 5 Assignment 1, Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Nucleus The majority of cells in the human body contain a nucleus but not all nuclei are the same as there are many variations. The nucleus has the largest spherical structure within the cell, and is known as the ‘brain of the cell’ because the nucleus controls all of the cell’s activity, such as: reproduction of cells and movement. The nucleus contains strands of DNA (chromosomes) in the form of a double helix. Within the human body there are cells that have no use for a nucleus such as red blood cells and cells that contain multiple nuclei such as muscles, because they are more active. Cytoplasm The cytoplasm is a thick, clear semi fluid, gel like substance that is enclosed by the cell membrane and covers the entire cell. The cytoplasm contains other organelles, such as Golgi apparatus, mitochondria and lysosome etc. This organelle is mainly made up of water, salts and proteins, and is where the cells, enzyme controlled, chemical reactions take place. These reactions are most commonly referred to as metabolism. Mitochondria Mitochondria are rod shaped organelles with a double membrane that are scattered around the cell in the cytoplasm. The three components of mitochondria are: the outer membrane, inner membrane and the matrix. The outer membrane acts like a skin, keeping the structure. The inner membrane is folded over multiple times to create a layered structure, which is...

During the manic phase of this disorder, the patient may show excessive, unwarranted excitement or silliness, carrying jokes too far. They may also show poor judgement and recklessness and may be argumentative. They may speak rapidly, have unrealistic ideas, and jump from subject to subject. They may not be able to sleep or sit still for very long. These symptoms are last for a specific period of time lasting for a few days or even a few months. Hospitalization can often be necessary to keep the person from harming themselves and others. The other side of the bipolar is the depressive episode. Bipolar depressed patients often sleep more than usual and are lethargic. This contrasts with those with major depression, who usually has trouble sleeping and is agitated. During bipolar depressive episodes, a patient may also show irritability and withdrawal. Manic episodes can occur without depression, but this is very rare.

Sugars can also be single or simple sugars.Carbohydrates can be found in a wide variety of foods such as pasta, wheat and grains, rice, potatoes, fruits and sugars. Carbohydrates are broken down into energy by the digestive system, in the form glucose. Carbohydrates provide energy in our bodies needed for various purposes such as the synthesis of biochemical macromolecules, transportation and muscle concentration. PROTEINS Protein is the major structural component of cell which is made up of several elements which are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen(C, H, O, N). They are essential for growth, repair and maintenance of body tissues. There are animal and non-animal food sources which are rich in proteins such as meat, fish eggs beans and lentils.

...Developing Effective Communication in Health and Social Care – Task 4 One-to-One In class, I participated in a one-to-one role-play with a fellow classmate. I played as a teacher and my peer played as a student who was being socially excluded by her classmates. She came to me one day really upset and explained that she was being socially excluded from the rest of the class. I suggested we go to a quiet room where we could talk by ourselves and I had to consider my approach carefully as I didn’t want to upset her even more. As part of my course, my class and I had to participate in a group event called Christmas cheer. This included us getting into groups to cook food which would be served to the elderly. We first had to decide what groups we would be in and this was done very easily and quickly This included our class getting into small groups and cooking food which the elderly would be served during this event. I was partnered up with four girls from my class who on several occasions I had to have a group discussion with. The first discussion we had to do is to discuss what we were going to cook. One of the girls decided to do scones whilst a few others wanted to do a gingerbread house. We finally decided on welsh cakes and then had to find a recipe for them. All of us found a recipe which we thought would be appropriate and they decided on a Mary Berry recipe as she was a famous cook.
