¶ … precautions an individual could take to ensure that he or she remained safe during an outbreak of cholera. There are basic sanitary precautions that individuals should implement to ensure that they remain healthy during such an outbreak that largely stems from people interacting with bacteria transmittable through feces. The most immediate of these pertains to remaining hydrated, since cholera can become fatal when individuals are plagued by diarrhea that is unusually watery. During a cholera outbreak, people should immediately begin taking oral rehydration solution, since "it can save your life" (CDC, date).
In terms of additional hydra care, it is vital that individuals remain hydrated by continuing to intake water. However, it is best to ensure that such water is actually purified. People should use purified water to drink, cook with, clean, and take care of their other basic hygienic needs -- such as brushing their teeth. Options for purifying water include boiling it for a minimum of a minute prior to removing it from heat. Other sanitary measures include frequently washing one's face and face to ensure that they are clean, especially when around infected areas. Purified water should be used with...
If not, people should take care to avoid defecating near any sort of water which might be contaminated. An alternative for defacating when there is not a sanitized toilet available is to bury feces so its germs do not spread. Finally, people should ensure that they get vaccinated as quickly as possible since, "there are two oral cholera vaccines available, Dukoral (manufactured by SBL Vaccines) which is World Health Organization (WHO) prequalified and licensed in over 60 countries, and Shanchol" (CDC, 2013).
If I had to explain the real cause of John's acne and of acne in general to Aunt Jane, I would begin by telling her that there are, of course, hair follicles on people's faces. Additionally, I would impress upon her that such hair follicles are often found on the back and the neck area. When these hair follicles get clogged up with oil and dirt, the body in turn produces acne through a series of processes. The hair follicle that is clogged will eventually sell up and break, unleashing all of the pent up oil, dirt, and noxious bacteria that developed in the…
When using the bathroom, it is vital to utilize standard toilets and latrines if they are available. If not, people should take care to avoid defecating near any sort of water which might be contaminated. An alternative for defacating when there is not a sanitized toilet available is to bury feces so its germs do not spread. Finally, people should ensure that they get vaccinated as quickly as possible since, "there are two oral cholera vaccines available, Dukoral (manufactured by SBL Vaccines) which is World Health Organization (WHO) prequalified and licensed in over 60 countries, and Shanchol" (CDC, 2013).
If I had to explain the real cause of John's acne and of acne in general to Aunt Jane, I would begin by telling her that there are, of course, hair follicles on people's faces. Additionally, I would impress upon her that such hair follicles are often found on the back and the neck area. When these hair follicles get clogged up with oil and dirt, the body in turn produces acne through a series of processes. The hair follicle that is clogged will eventually sell up and break, unleashing all of the pent up oil, dirt, and noxious bacteria that developed in the waste of these substances. Once those elements get into the skin, there is further swelling that leads to pimples, blackheads, and other forms of acne, which typically manifests itself as "a red, irritating skin rash" (Cole, 2013).
However, the aforementioned process can become exacerbated by certain factors. Stress is a factor in acne. When people are tired and more stressed out (for whatever reason), their bodies tend to reflect this physical exhaustion by falling prey to more maladies. Moreover, acne is also related to hormones. During the pubescent stage, the levels of testosterone is increasing at rapid rates for teenagers. For some people, an imbalance or pronounced amount of these hormones can help trigger or worsen their propensity to have acne. As with most physical traits, there is also a degree of heredity associated with acne and which can be responsible for its manifestation. People in families in which more than one person has severe acne are more likely to develop some manifestation of this cosmetic problem. Oftentimes, it may be as severe as that which plagued
Not all patient expectations will be realistic, but a mental health professional needs to be honest with a client about which expectations are reasonable and which ones are unreasonable. Another issue to investigate in each meeting with a patient with depression and anxiety, particularly uncontrolled depression and anxiety, is whether the disorders are impairing function and otherwise negatively impacting quality of life. If so, then the facilitator needs to direct

Based on those responses, the BSRI assigns a characterization of either "sex- typed" or "androgynous" depending on how much subjects identify only with adjectives considered desirable of their gender or with desirable traits of both genders, respectively. The PAQ uses similar methodology to generate results that link identification with adjectives considered desirable in both genders with high self-esteem in subjects of either gender. Generally, both instruments have been criticized because it is
