Plan:
In order to promote healthy development based on the four theories and the developmental tasks of middle adulthood, the nurse and S.O. devised a plan by setting a list of goal for S.O. to work toward. S.O. and the nurse agreed that as the client, S.O. will continue to manage and maintain a healthy balance between career, finances, and family. S.O. will also continue to contribute positively to her family by caring for her grandchildren and being a positive influence for them. Furthermore, she will continue to be active in her church by teaching Sunday school and leading a girl’s bible study. Seeing as S.O. does not like people and would prefer not to participate in group activities, the nurse and S.O. decided that S.O. will try to talk to more people her age at church as she develops her toleration of others opinions and actions. In order to deal with the stress more communication may cause S.O. and to improve her mental health S.O. will allot an hour or two a day to alone time so she can just be quiet and get away from stressful circumstances and people. S.O. will also work on accepting the changes in her body due to the hysterectomy and aging process. She will attempt to feel less frustrated by these changes and let her anger passes quickly. Finally, S.O. will continue to look to God and her husband for support, while continuing to grow these relationships daily. The client will continue to build intimacy with her husband, even though sex is no longer essential.
In order to meet the objectives of Healthy People 2020, S.O. will continue her good lifestyle behaviors and change her poor healthcare habits. S.O. will continue to get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a night and she will continue her weekly exerc...

For years, I have been eating what I want. Food choices are a significant factor that affects our health. What we like or crave, often, is the determining variable in what we eat. Finding the right balance of food choices is the key factor in improving our health benefits. Choosing nutrient-dense foods will provide more nutritional value than foods that are found to be low in nutrient density. Making the right choices in foods, however, is extremely difficult. Often, I find myself enthralled in the latest fad, not considering the subtext of the foods I am eating, such as nutrients, vitamins, healthy fats and unhealthy fats, cholesterol and minerals. The diet project underlined a three-day food entry intake that provided a dietary analysis report
Proper nutrition is important in maintaining a long and healthy life. Most Americans are rushed due to their busy work schedules, and do not take the time to plan their diets properly. Like me, most Americans are unaware of the importance of eating a healthy diet and consume too many foods without the proper nutrients. Throughout my life I have been fortunate. I have not had any major health problems, and have been able to consume most foods without having to worry about gaining weight. These last two years, however, I started to gain weight and have become concerned with my diet. Changing my poor eating habits has been difficult for me, however, having this assignment has taught me that it is not as difficult as I previously imagined.
From the life course perspective, midlife behavior has both antecedents and consequences. Earlier life experiences can serve either as risk factors or as protective factors for the health and well-being during this stage of development. According to the study Journey from Childhood to Midlife completed by Werner and Ruth Smith in 2001, by middle adulthood, most people have noted a balancing in their lives and improvement in overall quality of their lives. The period of early adulthood had provided positive turning points such as community college, marriage to a stable partner or military service. A contributing factor is relationships that provided emotional support as well. The presence of a nurturing caregiver from infancy, as well as emotional support along the way from extended family, peers, and caring adults outside the family created a positive environment for the person to continue along the life course. Erik Erikson, Karl Jung and Daniel Levinson are three prominent developmental theorists on human development on the journey of life.
The undertaking is based on the Stage-Crisis View which is an adult development theory established by psychologist, Daniel Levinson. He proposed that late adulthood is characterized by evolving physiological, psychological and role-oriented life changes which can affect major life transitions (Agronin, 2014). The late adulthood transition happens when middle adulthood ends which causes an individual to experience tremendous crises particularly changes and challenges such as deterioration of physical and mental functioning, illness or death of family members or friends, reduction of power and loss of authority and respect which can be traumatic and serve as reminder of their weakness and impending death (Stage Crisis View: Stages of Adult Development,
Other sources that were looked at before this one, showed similar information, which is another way to check that it is accurate. The tone used is very formal, which doesn’t indicate any bias, and an extensive amount of information is often given, not only those leaning towards one viewpoint. Purpose All of the information presented by this source was intended to be provided to students and people researching various topics around nutrition.
To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy life-styles to wellbeing. Health promotion goes beyond health care. It puts health on the agenda of policy makers in all sectors and at all levels. It directs policy makers to be aware of the health consequences of their decisions and accept their responsibilities for
There are millions of them. Not a single one is the same, no matter how similar they may look. Of course, I am talking about people. Many factors influence the way humans work. They are shaped by parents, peers, and biology. From their mannerisms, to the way their chin points, nurture and nature affect every aspect of human life. There is a debate brewing in the psychological, sociological and scientific communities over which of these two have the higher influence. While most of the members of these communities acknowledge the fact that both nature and nurture affect development, some believe that only one solely determines certain aspects of life, such as gender. Dr. John Money is one of these people; he believes that gender identity is solely a product of rearing. He advocates that when humans are born, they have a blank psychosexual slate. That is to say that, at birth, individuals do not have a gender identity, and they can be raised as either male or female. He does have his skeptics though. Milton Diamond was the first to challenge his beliefs publicly. Nature versus nurture is an argument that has been around for ages, and research is still being done to help to determine which the true winner is.
Nutrition is very important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Many health conditions are related to what we eat. Measuring nutritional intake is necessary in achieving a proper balanced diet. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a balanced meal contains fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy (choosemyplate.org). Half of your plate should consist of fruits and vegetables, whereas the other half should be one quarter grains and one quarter protein (cnpp.usda.gov). I will be assessing health habits and determining changes that can be made as well as exploring possible risk factors of any bad eating habits. I have compiled a food journal for my client Glen over a 7 day period. In this analysis I will be comparing Glen’s
From preschool into early elementary school, children have begun to develop their gross motor skills. They have developed a “mature pattern of walking” and are ready to test their physical abilities to the limits. Also fine motor skills have begun to develop, however more slowly. Along with motor skills children are developing their visual, tactile, and kinesthetic senses. A child’s sensory skills are helpful in learning language.

Each person’s life consists of normal stages of development; this is known as life span development. This development starts at infancy and continues through death. In each stage of development, each person experiences four types of development; physical, cognitive, social, and personality.
It is natural to be misled by the idea that economic growth is the key
