Sudden infant death syndrome

First, I will assess the mother feeling about breastfeeding and determine if she is willing or reluctant to breastfeed her baby. Taking the time to evaluate the new mom knowledge, concerns, fears, cultural values, family support, as well as her previous experience, will allow me to understand her position, help her to clarify her feelings and guide her to make the best decision for her and her baby. In this sense, create a good rapport, make the mom to feel comfortable and allow her to feel that…

Since 1964, approximately two and one-half million nonsmokers succumbed to death from health problems caused by exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is both the fumes produced from the burning end of a cigarette and the vapors exhaled from others nearby. Again, over two and million people have fallen dead from health problems associated with that unfortunate habit since 1964. This alarming fact acts as a call to action to ban smoking in public areas where people fall victim to the…

here to protect Fresno County residents. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), no level of secondhand smoke is safe. The CDC found that secondhand smoke kills more than 400 infants and 41,000 adult nonsmokers every year. Infant deaths are due to secondhand smoke-related Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, deaths among nonsmoking adults due to secondhand smoke-related lung cancer and heart disease. According to the CDC, secondhand smoke exposure is more common among children ages 3 to 11…

Fortunately, the infant mortality rate in Franklin County is on the decline and the rates comparable to the early 1990s (Columbus Public Health, 2013). Different races have different infant mortality rates; white 5.92%; black 13.58% (Columbus Public Health, 2013). Disparities exist between the white and black race with black infant mortality rates three times higher than the white race (Columbus Public Health, 2013). The three reasons related to infant deaths are; preterm and low birth…

Breastfeeding has been done for years and years due to the necessity to feeding our infants. Originally, formula was not an option, do to it did not exist, and breastfeeding was commonplace for all women. The difference between then and now is that women are not at home all the time. Women have evolved in a way that breastfeed should now be considered commonplace, we work outside the home and go out in public all the time. There are many facts that justify breastfeeding our babies that many…

Parents biggest fear with new born babies is the fear of SIDS ( Sudden Infant Deat Syndrome ) which is when a baby stops breathing. Baby Monitors monitor the breathing of the baby and when there is a proble it sends a signal and an alarm is sound alerting the parent. This is particularly useful if the parents are also…

of lung cancer. Lung cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers, and is the most common cause of cancer death in the UK according to an article oncancerreaserchuk.com.…

the baby’s heart rate. Babies have the risk of having a cleft lip when born if the mother smokes. They also could have a low birth weight, less than 5 pounds 8 ounces (March of Dimes Foundation, 2015). Low birth weight babies are at greater risk of death and are more vulnerable to infection, breathing difficulties and long-term health problems. Prenatal nicotine exposure can alter lung development as well (Abbott,…

fuels in terms of human lives is often ignored. Nuclear power, on the other hand, is a much safer alternative because it results in fewer deaths per unit of energy produced than coal and natural gas. By comparing their outputs in terms of energy produced per unit of fuel consumed, and comparing that with the amount of byproducts produced as well as the amount of deaths associated with both energy sources we can analyse their relative harmfulness. Development: The energy produced would be the…

According to the study, Newborn Infants Learn During Sleep, newborn brain waves detect much brain movement while they are asleep. While they do in fact spend most of their time sleeping, they still have the ability to know what is happening on the outside, while they lie asleep; this can actually be lifesaving. For instance, they have the mechanisms to avoid the dangers of sudden…
