Jason is a 5-year-old child who went with his mother to the pediatrician. The doctor measured Jason’s weight and length, and informed his mother that Jason has a BMI in the 95th percentile. This means that Jason has obesity. When asked to describe their family history, his mother provided the following information: 1) his mother had a pre-pregnancy BMI of 33 kg/m2; 2) his mother was diagnosed with gestational diabetes; and 3) Jason was born large-for-gestational-age. When asked to describe Jason’s diet and physical activity, his mother explained that Jason prefers dinosaur chicken nuggets and French fries, which he washes down with apple juice, over fruits and vegetables. She does not know how to introduce more nutritious meals. In addition, Jason’s father rewards him with chocolates, and often gives him cookies to convince him to stop crying. He also spends many hours in front of the television, consuming cartoons and commercials.

Describe both the biological determinants that may be contributing to Jason’s high weight status, as well as the environmental determinants. What advice would you give to Jason’s mother to improve his diet and physical activity patterns?

Answer in complete sentences, should be approximately 2 paragraphs.

Fatima is 86 years old female admitted to emergency room complains of skin tear of her right leg. She states she fell down and cut her leg. You use a septic technique to clean the skin tear and remove the clotted blood. You positioned the skin flap to approximate the edges of the wound. And then you covered the entire wound bed with a sterile non-stick dressing and bandage. You asked Fatima to come back in one week for reassessment of the wound. You instruct her on how to protect the area, the importance of keeping it clean and dry and signs of infection she needs to be aware of. She demonstrates a reasonable understanding of your instructions. Four days after Fatia has attended the hospital, she re admitted to ER complaining of throbbing pain in her leg at the location of skin tear but radiating up and down whole leg.

Protect yourself and others from COVID-19.it is spreading in your community, stay safe by taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue. Check local advice where you live and work.

How to prevent covid 19

  • Maintain at least a 1-metre distance between yourself and others to reduce your risk of infection when they cough, sneeze or speak. Maintain an even greater distance between yourself and others when indoors. The further away, the better.
  • Make wearing a mask a normal part of being around other people.
  • Clean your hands before you put your mask on, as well as before and after you take it off.
  • Make sure it covers both your nose, mouth and chin.
  • Avoid the 3Cs: spaces that are closed, crowded or involve close contact.
    • Outbreaks have been reported in restaurants, choir practices, fitness classes, nightclubs, offices and places of worship where people have gathered, often in crowded indoor settings where they talk loudly, shout, breathe heavily or sing.
    • The risks of getting COVID-19 are higher in crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces where infected people spend long periods of time together in close proximity. These environments are where the virus appears to spreads by respiratory droplets or aerosols more efficiently, so taking precautions is even more important.
  • Meet people outside. Outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in.
    • For more information on how to hold events like family gatherings, children’s football games and family occasions, read our Q&A on small public gatherings.
  • Avoid crowded or indoor settings but if you can’t, then take precautions:
    • Open a window. Increase the amount of ‘natural ventilation’ when indoors.
    • WHO has published Q&As on ventilation and air conditioning for both the general public and people who manage public spaces and buildings
