The young lady that was part of the teaching/learning experience is a 20 year old African-American, single parent that completed high school but no college experience. Her daughter is six months old and considered to be healthy in development. For the remainder of this summary, I will use the letters TB in place of the mother’s name and IB for the daughter’s name.

(Mott, 1997) At 6 months of age, IB’s skin is her largest organ and her skin surface is twice that of an adult per unit of body weight. TB was very adamant that her daughter was not exposed to pesticides.

...and Health Promotion Misty Hummer Grand Canyon University NRS-434V November 01, 2015 Environmental Factors and Health Promotion Pesticides have been around since the 15th century but are increasing in use as the food supply grows. Pesticides include "any substance used to kill, repel, or control certain forms of plant or animal life that are considered to be pests" (Pesticides, 2015, para. 1). There are many products that contain pesticides that people are aware of such as cleaning products and pest control.

Infants are extremely vulnerable to pesticides because of their developing body systems (Pesticides and Children, 2013). This paper will explore the teaching and learning of a young mother and how pesticides can impact the health of her baby. Nadine, who is of Puerto Rican descent, is twenty-two years old and recently had her first child. Her baby is now eight months old, a daughter named Juliette.
