Next, it explains Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives, which categorizes them into cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. For each domain, it provides the levels and examples of action verbs used to write objectives. The document concludes by assigning students to prepare objectives for a teaching plan and answering review questions.
This document discusses different types of tumors and cancer treatments. It explains that cancerous tumors can spread throughout the body while noncancerous tumors are rarely life-threatening. It then describes common cancer treatments like surgery to remove tumors, chemotherapy to kill fast-growing cells, radiation therapy to reduce cancer risks or make other treatments more effective, and hormone therapy for certain cancers that use hormones to grow. The document concludes that having a diagnosis and treatment plan for early-stage cancer will help achieve the goal of overcoming the disease.
Nutritional deficiencies in children can cause significant health problems. Protein deficiencies like marasmus and kwashiorkor result in wasting and edema. Vitamin deficiencies such as vitamins A, D, B1, B2 and niacin can cause conditions like rickets, beriberi, and pellagra. Children are especially vulnerable due to their high nutritional needs for growth. Proper nutrition is essential for normal development and long-term health.
Genetic, environmental, and prenatal factors all influence child growth and development. Genetic factors like a child's sex, race, and any genetic disorders can impact development. The prenatal environment, including maternal health, nutrition, infections, and substance use also affect fetal growth. After birth, postnatal factors like nutrition, illness, physical environment, socioeconomic status, and learning experiences further shape development. Growth and development are complex, multifactorial processes determined by an interaction of hereditary and environmental influences from conception onwards.
The document discusses key concepts related to child growth and development. It defines growth as the process of physical maturation resulting in an increase in size, while development refers to functional and physiological maturation and the progressive increase in skills and capacity. It outlines several principles of growth and development, including that it proceeds from head to tail, center to periphery, general to specific, and is continuous, sequential, and predictable. Development depends on maturation and learning and is influenced by heredity and environment.
This document discusses several common neonatal disorders classified by type. Birth injuries include caput succedaneum (edema of the scalp from pressure during labor), cephalhematoma (collection of blood under the skull from birth trauma), fractures, facial paralysis, and Erb's/Brachial palsy. Disorders related to physiological factors include hyperbilirubinemia, hemolytic disease of the newborn, and respiratory distress syndrome. Infectious disorders include sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis. Disorders related to maternal conditions include infants of diabetic mothers. Specific details are provided on hemolytic disease of the newborn, respiratory distress syndrome, nursing care for injuries to the head, and Erb
This document discusses principles of education and the teaching-learning process. It begins by defining key terms like education, philosophy, and educational philosophies. It then examines several philosophies of education in detail, including naturalism, idealism, realism, and pragmatism. For each philosophy, it outlines the chief proponents, basic concepts, aims and principles of education, organization of education, curriculum, teaching methods, discipline approaches, and the role of the teacher. The document provides an overview of major educational philosophies to help understand principles that guide the teaching and learning process.

The document provides information on essential newborn care including the 8 steps of essential newborn care such as drying the baby, assessing breathing, cord care, and warming the baby. It discusses principles like immediate drying, skin-to-skin contact, and delaying bathing and weighing. Components include neonatal resuscitation, thermal protection, infection prevention, and initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour. Risk factors for low birth weight babies and prevention measures are outlined. Optimal infant feeding practices of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and introducing complementary foods at 6 months are also summarized.
1. The document defines the neonatal period as the time from birth to 4 weeks postnatal. During this period, newborns are observed and stabilized in the normal newborn nursery or on the maternity floor.
2. The roles of nurses and physicians in the normal newborn nursery include admission care like assessments, history taking, and ensuring identification; ongoing assessments using tools like the APGAR score; and providing routine neonatal care like maintaining temperature and establishing breastfeeding.
3. Physical examinations of newborns assess various body systems and features like reflexes, fontanels, skin characteristics, and vital signs to evaluate overall health and normalcy. Any abnormalities are noted.
The document summarizes a study that assessed the effectiveness of a structured teaching program on mothers' knowledge of preventing pediatric emergencies and providing first aid for children under 5. 50 mothers participated in the study. Their knowledge was tested before and after the teaching program using a 25 question survey.
