This document provides information about asthma and HIV/AIDS in children. It defines asthma as a chronic inflammatory airway disorder characterized by wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. It notes that asthma affects over 17 million people in the US, with children under 10 making up half of cases. Common asthma triggers include respiratory infections, allergens, irritants, weather, exercise and emotions. The document also defines HIV/AIDS and notes transmission occurs from mother to child at birth, breastfeeding, contaminated blood or needles, and sexual contact. Physical symptoms vary depending on the stage of infection. Resources and organizations that provide support for children with these conditions are also listed.
Other health impairments include chronic or acute health problems that result in limited alertness affecting the educational environment. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs receiving federal funds. The Dyslexia Tutoring Program offers free tutoring to help low-income students with dyslexia learn to read despite often reversing letters and numbers.
This document discusses the main health problems faced by children, including malnutrition, infections, parasitic diseases, accidents, poisoning, and behavioral issues. Malnutrition is the underlying cause of 50% of deaths in children under 5 globally. In India, 43.5% of children under 5 are underweight. Prevention and treatment of infectious diseases like diarrhea and measles can reduce malnutrition. Micronutrient deficiencies like anemia, iodine deficiency, and vitamin A deficiency also affect children's health. Poverty, lack of sanitation and potable water, and poor family/maternal health further exacerbate children's health issues. The environment, socioeconomic status, and availability of social support/healthcare also impact child health outcomes
This document discusses other health impairments (OHI) as defined by IDEA. Common OHIs include asthma, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diabetes, epilepsy, heart conditions, hemophilia, cancer, HIV, lead poisoning, and leukemia. Students with OHIs may miss school frequently, have physical restrictions, be inattentive due to their health issues or medications, or experience academic delays. The document recommends accommodations like flexible time limits, frequent breaks, and alternative assignments to help students with OHIs succeed academically.
This document discusses other health impairments (OHI) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

In the 2003-2004 school year, over 67,000 students received special education services under the orthopedic impairment category and over 449,000 under the other health impairments category. Physical disabilities are caused by various genetic and acquired factors and can range from mild to severe.
Preventive pediatrics aims to promote children's physical, mental, and social well-being. Pediatric emergencies are serious conditions that threaten a child's life and require immediate attention, such as high fevers, breathing difficulties, seizures, dehydration, or severe injuries from falls or accidents. Common symptoms that may indicate a pediatric emergency include fevers over 104 degrees F, difficulty breathing or no breathing, seizures, jaundice, and shock.
This document discusses and compares two diseases: chicken pox and anorexia nervosa. Chicken pox is a highly contagious viral disease that causes an itchy rash. It spreads through contact with infected individuals and can be prevented through vaccination. Anorexia nervosa is a psychological disorder characterized by an obsessive fear of gaining weight and refusal to eat. It has complex cultural, biological, and psychological causes and can lead to severe physical and mental health issues if not properly treated through hospitalization and monitored recovery programs. Both diseases are most common in adolescents and have become more prevalent in recent decades, influenced by modern culture.

Effects of coronavirus on mental healthsameen akhtar
The document discusses the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health. It notes that measures taken to curb the spread of the virus, such as lockdowns and social distancing, can increase stress, anxiety, and depression. In Pakistan's collectivist culture, social distancing has been particularly difficult and has psychological impacts like post-traumatic stress disorder. Long term effects may include complicated bereavement, relapse of prior mental illness, and stress from loss of important life events or job loss. The document recommends managing these mental health impacts.
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs), especially pneumonia, are a major cause of death among children under five globally. Pneumonia kills more children than any other illness. Improving case management through integrated management of childhood illnesses protocols and increasing access to quality care through community health workers can help reduce pneumonia mortality. Adopting strategies to improve nutrition, promote vaccination, reduce indoor air pollution, and prevent HIV can together reduce pneumonia burden substantially.

This document summarizes information about asthma in children. It states that asthma is the most common chronic disease in children, affecting around 7 million children in the US. Rates are highest in young children aged 0-4 and lowest in older children 12-17. African American children and those from low-income urban areas have higher rates of asthma. The document also discusses the high financial and social costs of childhood asthma, including missed school and work days. It notes that stress on the family is common as they balance when to treat asthma attacks themselves versus seeking medical care. Finally, it touches on links between asthma and sensory processing disorders, behavioral issues, and the role of maternal education level in childhood asthma outcomes.
The document summarizes the eight Millennium Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2000:
1) Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by reducing poverty and hunger rates by half.
2) Achieve universal primary education by ensuring all boys and girls complete primary school.
3) Promote gender equality and empower women through increasing literacy rates and education levels for women and girls.
4) Reduce child mortality by reducing death rates of children under five from preventable causes like diarrhea, malaria, and pneumonia.
5) Improve maternal health by reducing maternal mortality rates and ensuring access to medical care and services during pregnancy and childbirth.
6) Combat HIV/AIDS,
It seems that there are 3 methods to relaying information. The appeal to logic, where the speaker relies upon the hearers ability to think scientifically; the appeal to reason, wherein the speaker relies upon the hearers ability, if not to think scientifically, at least to understand a reasoned argument (A-B-C). Finally, one that is expressed farm or often today in our culture is the appeal to emotion. Often the appeal to emotion skirts facts and avoid reality, instead playing upon the vulnerability of uneducated people by creating a worst-case scenario. For my capstone project in my Public health Marketing course I decided to mix science and emotionality.
The psychological and social impacts of HIV/AIDS can be significant. People living with HIV/AIDS may experience fear, anxiety, depression, social isolation, and stigmatization. They can face challenges in relationships, employment, and perceptions from others. Children with HIV/AIDS may have to cope with a lack of a normal childhood, fears of dying, and changes in parental relationships. Overall, living with a chronic illness like HIV/AIDS takes a psychological and social toll on many people's well-being and quality of life.

The document discusses the impact of HIV/AIDS on children worldwide. It states that over 2.5 million children under 15 are living with HIV/AIDS globally and 500,000 children died of AIDS in 2003 alone. Children are often infected through mother-to-child transmission or made vulnerable due to poverty, lack of education and sexual exploitation. The document advocates for educating people on HIV/AIDS to reduce stigma and promote prevention and treatment efforts that can help infected children.
"The global HIV/AIDS epidemic is an unprecedented crisis that requires an unprecedented response. In particular it requires solidarity -- between the healthy and the sick, between rich and poor, and above all, between richer and poorer nations. We have 30 million orphans already. How many more do we have to get, to wake up?"
-- Kofi Annan
HIV originated from a virus found in chimpanzees. It likely entered the US in the 1970s and was originally known as GRID since it seemed to affect gay men. In the early 1980s it became apparent that HIV could infect heterosexuals as well, and it was renamed to AIDS. In 1984, scientists identified HIV as the cause of AIDS. The first drug to treat AIDS, AZT, was approved in 1987. HIV attacks and weakens the immune system, ultimately leading to AIDS if not treated. It is most often transmitted through unprotected sex or sharing needles.
Autism rates are increasing in Minnesota and nationally. In Minnesota, approximately 2.7% of children have autism, with similar rates between Somali and white children. Research has not identified clear causes of autism, though genetics and environmental factors like nutrition are thought to play a role. Nurse interventions focus on early identification, individualized care, and advocacy to reduce stigma and restraints in care environments.
This document provides an overview of preventing the spread of infectious illnesses in child care settings. It discusses how illnesses spread, including through direct contact, airborne transmission, fecal-oral transmission, and contact with blood and body fluids. It emphasizes the importance of hand washing, health checks, standard precautions, cleaning and disinfection, and other hygiene practices to reduce transmission of germs among children and staff. The goal is to educate child care providers about illness prevention through maintaining healthy environments and practices.
This document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including what it is, how it is transmitted, who is most vulnerable, stages of infection, testing and treatment options, and prevention methods. HIV attacks CD4 cells in the immune system and develops into AIDS when CD4 cells are severely reduced, leaving the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections. HIV is most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa and can infect anyone regardless of age, race, or sexual orientation. Abstinence, monogamy, condom use, sterile needle use, and not sharing personal items are effective prevention methods.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections spread through sexual contact. Approximately 65 million Americans have an incurable STD. STDs can be transmitted through various bodily fluids and skin-to-skin contact. Major STDs include viral infections like HIV and HPV, bacterial infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea, and parasitic infections. Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics but viral STDs like herpes and HIV cannot be cured. Teenagers and young adults face high risks of STDs due to multiple partners and unprotected sex. Left untreated, STDs can lead to serious health issues.
Impoverished countries are more vulnerable to diseases and natural disasters for several reasons:
1) Poverty forces people to live in hazardous areas with poor housing, sanitation and healthcare access, increasing exposure to diseases and the impacts of disasters.
2) Malnutrition and lack of access to clean water and healthcare weakens immune systems and the ability to manage diseases.
3) Following disasters, inadequate resources to address conditions in displacement camps can enable disease outbreaks, as occurred with cholera in Haiti.
1) Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are very common illnesses that affect people of all ages but have higher morbidity and mortality rates in young children and the elderly. ARI can be caused by various bacteria and viruses.
2) In developing countries, ARI is a major cause of death in children under 5 years old, with pneumonia being the most common cause. Factors like malnutrition, indoor air pollution, and lack of access to medical care contribute to higher rates of ARI in developing nations.
3) Clinical assessment of ARI involves checking respiration rate, listening for wheezing or stridor, feeling for fever, and looking for signs of chest indrawing or severe malnutrition. Treatment depends on illness
This document discusses infection control in early childhood education settings.

Children with asthma
2. Definition
“Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder that
produces airway hyper-responsiveness, air
flow limitation and persistent respiratory
symptoms, such as wheezing, coughing, chest
tightness and shortness of breath,”¹
3. Rate of Occurrence
• Asthma affects 17.3 million people in the United
• Children age 10 and younger account for 50% of asthma cases.
• More than twice as many boys than girls have asthma
• Asthma affects all races worldwide but is more common in blacks and Hispanics,
but this may be due to socioeconomic conditions rather than genetics.
• Five thousand people die each year from asthma.
About 25% of children who have asthma have at least one parent who smokes.
4. Causes or triggers of Asthma
Respiratory infections
Allergens (anything that causes an allergic reaction)
Irritants such as tobacco smoke, cold air, chemicals,
perfumes, paint odors, hair sprays
Weather change
Exercise
Emotional factors
Inflammation of the upper airways such as sinus
infections, lung infections, bronchitis
5. Behavioral Characteristics
The main characteristic is wheezing.
Wheezing is a whistling, hissing sound when
breathing.
Breathlessness
Chest congestion &
tightness
Coughing & Fatigue Difficulty speaking
Other
Characteristics
6. Physical Characteristics
A person’s airway comes in contact with a trigger
Airways become inflamed and fill with mucus, swell and narrow
Muscles within the airway contract causing further narrowing
Breathing becomes more difficult
An asthma attack occurs

12. Definition
AIDS/HIV Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
is the virus that is responsible for causing
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
The virus destroys or impairs cells of the
immune system and progressively destroys
the body's ability to fight infections and
certain cancers.
13. Rate of Occurrence
• At the end of 2009, there were 2.5 million children living with HIV around the world.2
• An estimated 400,000 children became newly infected with HIV in 2009.
• Of the 1.8 million people who died of AIDS during 2009, one in seven were children.
Every hour, around 30 children die as a result of AIDS.
• There are more than 16 million children under the age of 18 who have lost one or both
parents to AIDS.
• Most children living with HIV – almost 9 in 10 – live in sub-Saharan Africa, the region of
the world where AIDS has taken its greatest toll.
******************************************
• There are between 6,000 to 7,000 children who are born to HIV-infected mothers each
year in the United States.
• Teens between the ages of 13 to 19, especially among minority groups, represent one
of the fastest growing HIV-positive groups.
• Between 1992 and 1997 the number of infants who became HIV positive when born to
an infected mother decreased by 50 percent.
14. Causes
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
is the virus that is responsible for
causing acquired immune
deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is
spread through one of the
following ways:
Vertical transmission
- HIV can be spread
to babies born to, or
breastfed by,
mothers infected
with the virus.
Needles - HIV is
frequently spread by
sharing needles,
syringes, or drug use
equipment with
someone who is
infected with the virus.
Blood contamination
- HIV may also be
spread through
contact with infected
blood
Sexual contact - In
adults and
adolescents, HIV is
spread most
commonly by sexual
contact with an
infected partner.
15. Behavioral Characteristics
CHILDREN
Young children become infected with AIDS/HIV due to maternal transmission
in the uterus, during the delivery process and through breast feeding;
Children can also become infected through child sexual abuse
ADULTS
Adults become infected with the virus due to behaviors:
• Sharing needles with drug use
• Unprotected sex
• Through blood transmissions (mostly in Third world countries)
16. Physical Characteristics
• Infants - At birth, infants born to an HIV-infected mother may test
negative for the virus and have no symptoms. This does not mean that the
infant does not have the virus. Blood tests will be done at various stages
after birth up to and past 6 months of age to determine an infant's HIV
status. There may not be symptoms at first, but develop later. Symptoms
may include the following:
– failure to thrive - delayed physical and developmental growth as evidenced by
poor weight gain and bone growth.
– swollen abdomen (due to swelling of the liver and spleen)
– swollen lymph nodes
– intermittent diarrhea (diarrhea that may come and go) pneumonia
– oral thrush - a fungal infection in the mouth that is characterized by white
patches on the cheeks and tongue. These lesions may be painful to the infant
17. Educational Needs
• HIV cannot be transmitted through casual contact in a child care setting. The HIV virus cannot be
spread by sneezing, coughing, hugging, or touching. Parents worry about accidents and fights, but
fresh blood-to-blood contact among children is extremely unusual. No case of HIV/AIDS
transmission in a child care center has ever been reported.
• For clean ups: Use gloves and clean up as you normally would disposing paper towels and other
items in a plastic bag.
• If a child bites you and draws blood, wash the area immediately with soap and water. As you would
for any human bite, consult your physician.
• At Meal Time
• Do not allow children to share food. Otherwise, there are no restrictions. Clean up and sanitize as
you normally would
• Clean and sterilize baby bottles as usual.
• At Play Time
• If the child puts something in their mouth, the toy should be cleaned and sanitized as normal.
• In the Laundry
• If items have been soiled with body fluids, wash separately. Otherwise, articles can be washed with
others
• For First Aid
• Keep a first aid kid handy. It should include: a box of disposable latex gloves, antiseptic or
disinfectant, a bottle of bleach diluted to 1 tbsp bleach to one quarter water mixed immediately
before use, disposable paper towels, gauze, medical tape and plastic bag for waste disposal.
