First I want to say that the same sexual precaution information I would give a younger adult is the same I would deliver to an older adult, because both face the same derailment for quality health when the necessary precautions are not taken to prevent disease. I would inform this population that according to statistics in place from the CDC since 2007 “more than 14,000 older adults are now diagnoised with HIV, “ (Tabloski, 2015) Even greater concern needs to be expressed in regards to their age and the preceived burden, that the increased elderly population is draining our economy, which equates to a double dose of discrimination. During my assessment which would include sexual health I would first ask what the patient knows about HIV this …show more content…
HIV source (e.g. sexual contact without the use of a condom including, anal, oral,vaginal, and this includes sharing of sex toys)
2. A sufficient dose (viral load) of virus
3. Access to the bloodstream of another person (e.g. sharing of needles or paraphernalia during IV drug use, direct or indirect contat with contaminated items, exposure of high concentration of body fluids for healthcare workers, etc.)

If I were infected I would know right away Many infected with HIV without treatment will not see symptoms of AIDS for 10-15 years
Skin discolaration, aches, pains and feeling tired are normal signs of aging S/S of HIV infection are often overlooked as normal signs of aging. During the first 2-4 weeks flu like symptoms may be noted, due to a large amount of the virus produced in the body. Other early stages of progression often missed, weight loss, skin rashes, fatigue, night sweats. Several infections may be noted, with the progression of weight loss, diarrhea and chronic illiness during the late stages of the disease (e.g. various forms of cancer are linked to HIV/AIDs disease) possibly due to one’s weakened immune system. There are three main types of HIV tests:
• Antibody tests
• Antigen or RNA tests
• Combination
It is crucial to understand that, unlike most transmissible diseases, AIDS/HIV is not transmitted through sneezing, coughing, eating or drinking from common utensils, or even being around an infected person. Casual contact with AIDS/HIV infected persons does not place others at risk. HIV/AIDS can be passed through unprotected sex with an infected person, sharing contaminated needles, from infected mother to baby during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding, and through direct exposure to infected blood or blood

Person centred care means basing the care and support of a person around them. Looking at things from their perspective, promoting their beliefs, preference, likes and dislikes. They are involved in the development of their support plans, risk assessments and what they want to achieve. They determine what they want and how they want things doing. It promotes their individual needs and what is important to them. We listen to the individual and find out about their wishes and look at ways of carrying this out as safely as possible. We work with the individual, their families and others to empower the individual and to promote independence in their lives and ensure that the individual is supported to maintain their lives as they
By what has been presented Jimmy didn’t seem to have a positive and loving environment. His mum drank and had mental health problems. How did these factors occur? A possible lack of support for bringing up a child alone or Social-economic factors. Another area could be living in an area where people were living below the poverty line. In this instance there wouldn’t be any close ties with other people who live in the area. Being isolated in this instance with no social support from others who live close by may have had an impact on her. Having someone come out either someone she knows well or a social worker is a good social interaction with others. This can help his mum from a point of How are you doing? Do you need additional support?
Within the care system there are two different routes in to care and these are voluntary care and compulsory care. Voluntary care is when the parent agrees for their child to be placed in to the care system and this care section is under section 76 of the social services and wellbeing act of 2014. Then there is compulsory care and this is when the imposition of a care order is put in place by the authorities. This is under section 31 of the social services and wellbeing act of 2014.

One of the five key principles of care practice is to ‘Support people in having a voice and being heard,’ (K101, Unit 4, p.183). The key principles are linked to the National Occupational Standards for ‘Health and Social Care’. They are a means of establishing and maintaining good care practice. Relationships based on trust and respect should be developed between care receivers and care givers, thus promoting confidence whilst discussing personal matters without fear of reprisal and discrimination.
With the advent of more effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and thus increased life span of people with AIDS, neurological disorders are becoming a hot topic in AIDS research. In the early days of the epidemic, those infected with the virus could only hope to live for a short time before developing the symptoms of full blown AIDS, and death ensued shortly afterwards. The progress made in treatment in the past two decades has prolonged the lives of people with AIDS, to the point where diagnosis is no longer a sign of imminent debilitation and death, but rather an acknowledgement of a possible long road ahead with the aid of drug cocktails. There is also a strong possibility that the HIV infected person may develop HIV associated dementia after years of living with the disease (1).

D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.

...llaborate with international and local organizations to build community partnerships to improve HIV prevention. The CHN would have to effectively utilize primary prevention to reduce the overall incidences of transmission by: seeking to increase the proportion of substance abuse treatment facilities that offer HIV/AIDS education and support, educating and increasing the proportion of sexually active individuals who use protection. The nurse can also implement secondary prevention or early detection and prompt treatment of disease. This type can prevent the activation of latent infections and promote optimal health in HIV-infected individuals. The CHN would also implement tertiary prevention by encouraging patients to have consistent follow-up exams to identify and prevent diseases that may affect those afflicted with HIV/AIDS such as Tuberculosis and other diseases.
A person who is HIV-infected carries the virus in certain body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. The virus can be transmitted only if such HIV-infected fluids enter the bloodstream of another person. This kind of direct entry can occur (1) through the linings of the vagina, rectum, mouth, and the opening at the tip of the penis; (2) through intravenous injection with a syringe; or (3) through a break in the skin, such as a cut or sore. Usually, HIV is transmitted through:
Intro: Aids is a disease where there is a severe loss of the body 's cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy. Can be spread through any type of unprotected sex if one of the partners has the virus. This can happen when body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluids, blood or other forms of DNA such as from an infected person get into the body of someone who is not infected. can be transmitted with contaminated blood, sharing contaminated needles or other sharp objects, and even between mothers and their child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.
