Assignment 1 Examples
Here are a few examples of submissions for Assignment 1 that received good and bad grades. BAD examples These submissions either missed specific details and facts or simply provided irrelevant information and answered the wrong questions. Example 1 The first article that I found is called “9 Ways to Clean Up Your Diet” from a website called Prevention. This website is reliable because it has sources that back up the information provided through Doctors, scientists, nutrition specialists, and many books written by many different specialists. Joe Kita is a writer, editor, motivational speaker and teacher. He is the author of the book “Men’s Health Best.” Joe has worked as a journalist for 25 years and he is currently living and working in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Reasons for low grade: The review does not provide any specific information, the statements are not supported by concrete evidence. The author did not give any examples. According to the description given, this person (the author of the article) does not have appropriate qualifications to be considered a nutrition expert. The analysis is vague, the rating is not given, and even the URL is not provided. Example 2 Stay Fit And Healthy Who: This website is run by HealthStatus which has been operating since 1998. For many years they have been providing millions of people with healthy information and tips to stay healthy. Their team works hard to help people feel good about themselves. You can trust this website because they have helped a lot of people for many of years. What: the information proved is trustworthy and I found it very educational. I found out things that I did not even know about. I give this website a 10 for reliability because I can tell the people that made this website, worked hard to give out helpful information to people. Nothing seemed questionable or untrue. I would trust this website. Reasons for low grade: The reliability is not evaluated. If somebody "works hard" or "helped a lot of people", it does not mean that the information they provide is reliable. Statements (such as "the information proved is trustworthy") are not supported by evidence. The author should rather answer such questions as "How do you know they are trustworthy?", "What are your criteria for "questionable?". The evaluation is vague, the URL is missing. Example 3 https://www.bodybuilding.com A very well-known reputable site with many articles and forums to guide you on your nutritional journey. The reliability of this site is phenomenal to include articles, diet plans, recipes, calculators, and tips to create your own diet plan. It does answer the 5Ws pertaining to nutrition and also improves one’s own physique through supplementation. Rating of this site I give it a 7 out of 10. Although it is a remarkable site one must sift through articles or forums to find what is needed for nutrition. Reasons for low grade: Analysis is missing. Example 4 Ultimate High-Fiber Foo.
This powerpoint presentation gives a bit of insight as to the benefits of nutritional supplements on one's health throughout diverse populations if used properly. Some of the benefits, precautions, and recommendations of taking nutritional supplements is included as well as a bit of information in order to help individual's find reliable, quality information on the topic. Of course, before taking any supplements you should always remember to seek a physician's approval before making any decisions.
Self advocacy is about taking a proactive approach to all stages of health and illness: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

1. Evaluating Information
In general, reputable sources will provide high quality
information. However, it is always a good idea to take
a close look at the information itself to make sure that
it is reliable and suitable for your needs.
2. Evaluating Information Checklist
When examining the information on a page, ask
yourself the following questions:
• Is the information factual or opinion-based?
• Is the information current?
• Does the information answer my question?
• Is the information consistent with other sources?
3. Facts vs. Opinions
When you search for health information online, you
should try to find information that is factual and not
based on personal opinions.
Even if an opinion comes from a medical professional,
it is still just that: an opinion. Relying too much on
opinions and not the facts can lead to poor health
outcomes.
Leave the medical advice to your doctor, and focus on
finding factual information.
4. THINK!
Are some types of online sources more likely to
contain opinions, rather than facts, than other
sources?
5. THINK!
Are some types of online sources more likely to
contain opinions, rather than facts, than other
sources?
ANSWER: Personal blogs and other sources that are
not extensively reviewed by medical professionals are
among the most likely sources of opinions instead of
facts. You should take extra care to make sure you are
getting accurate information when consulting these
sources.
6. Use of Current Information
Always check for the date when an article was
published or last updated.
In general, stick to using sources that are at most two
years old. The more recent, the better.
If you cannot find a date, do not use the source. It is
never worth the risk of using outdated information.
7. Is My Question Answered?
It may seem obvious, but you should always check that
the information you found answers your research
question.
Even high quality information will not mean much if it
is not useful to you in your specific context. Try a
different source if you one find doesn’t look quite
right.
TIP: Use the CTRL+F command to do a keyword search
on a webpage to jump right to what you’re looking for.
8. Consistency with Other Sources
If you find high quality information that is supported by
science, you should be able to verify that it is accurate by
checking to see if it is consistent with other sources.
Never make a health decision based on only one website.
Because there is so much misinformation on the internet,
it is important to check multiple sources to find a
consensus.
In general, reputable health information sources will agree
with one another. If you find a website that says something
different than all other sources, do not use it.
9. Review: Information Evaluation Checklist
Keep these criteria in mind when evaluating information:
• Is the information factual or opinion-based?
▫ Factual information is more reliable than personal opinions.
• Is the information current?
▫ Stick to articles that were published or updated within the
last 2 years.
• Does the information answer my question?
▫ An article may provide accurate information, but it is only
useful if it answers your question. Try a different source if
you don’t see what you’re looking for.
• Is the information consistent with other sources?
▫ Always consult more than one source to verify that you are
getting accurate information.
