1. Another behavior that professionals aim to improve is the nutritional habits of young children. Many studies have evaluated the effectiveness of observational behavior on young children in regard to nutrition habits, such as fruit and vegetable consumption and nutritional literacy.

One study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior evaluated the effectiveness of screen-based peer modeling on children’s vegetable consumption. This study enrolled 42 children, aged 3-5 years old, who were asked to watch either a video of a peer eating a vegetable, a video that was non-food related, or no video at all. Researchers then evaluated the child’s vegetable consumption rate of all of the groups. It was found that children who watched the video with vegetables were more likely to eat more grams of vegetables that same day (Stainano et al., 2016). This study shows how public health professionals can use peer observational learning to help promote healthy eating habits in young children.

Do you agree or not and why?

2.As I previously mentioned, media can play a large role in observational learning, negative and positive! A TikTok trend led millions of people to Chole Ting’s fitness channel on Youtube. During quarantine, gyms were closed and people were looking for at-home workouts when Chole Ting started trending on the popular app. People were going crazy about it and encouraging others to try it for themselves. Staying active, especially when gyms are closed, has many benefits and this trend helped public health professionals promote a healthy lifestyle!

Develop a record retention policy for the Wildcat facility which uses an electronic health record.

• Decide the content of health record forms at the hospital(use a teaching hospital)
• Master patient index for the hospital you chose. How will this be retained?
• Active records vs inactive records? How will active records be retained?
• Review any federal and state laws that may be applicable to your Wildcat Hospital (i.e. retention laws in the state may vary from the federal statute of limitations, age of majority)

When writing this policy consider the following:

• records of minors, and mentally incompetent adults as compared to adult health records
• Professional association retention guidelines; AHIMA retention standards of the legal health record and recommendation standards (Figure 9.6 in text)
• State & Federal retention guidelines (i.e. Utah retention guidelines state 7 years for adults, AHIMA advises 10 years)
• Destruction methods (figure 9.7) of health records, what must the hospital contain upon the destruction of health records

Discuss why it is important to view biracial identity development as different from monoracial identity development.  How might family, relationships, and cultural beliefs also impact biracial identity development?

The purpose of the aseptic technique is to control the conditions of the work environment so that sterile media remain that way until inoculated deliberately by the lab worker (you). The two tubes represent the "before" and “after" results when this is accomplished — a sterile medium is inoculated and grows to produce a pure culture of the unknown organism. List three precautions taken in the wet lab to reduce accidental and unwanted inoculation (also known as “contamination") of sterile media.
