ALLIED HEALTH Ideas for Folio tasks 1. Nutrient Analysis of the diet of a group of people: Decimal, averages of Recommended Daily Allowances. Food intake and percentage of calories that comes from fat in each person’s diet, etc. 2. Health and Nutrition: Fitness, Health and nutrition, Body fat assessment, skinfolds Girth circumference, Waist to Hip ratio, risk of disease, BMI, caloric intake per pound of body weight. Calculate the calories you burn daily exercising. 3. Muscle Strength and Endurance: Age percentiles, exercise angle measures. Measurement of agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, speed). 4. Life Experiences Survey: correlations in social support and health, EKG; cyclical graph, interpreting cholesterol levels, LDL to HDL ratios, cardiovascular health (triglycerides, blood glucose, blood pressure, etc.). 5. Human Anatomy and Physiology: Recognize patterns in DNA strands and “complementary base strands” to determine their meaning. Growth rate of a regenerating nerve fibre (3 to 4 millimetres per day). 6. Blood: red blood cell counts; microliters and cubic millimeters, different populations and age groups. % of Blood Volume for a blood sample, Blood Pressure formula, measuring BP and graphical analysis. 7. Genetic factors: % of population and birth defects, diseases or linked to social, genetic, or environmental circumstances. 8. Diseases of the Human Body: Diseases statistics, diagnosis. 9. Drug Dosage:A student strained her knee in a volleyball game, and her doctor has prescribed an antiinflammatory drug to reduce the swelling. She is to take two 220-milligram tablets every 8 hours for 10 days. Her kidneys filter 60% of this drug from her body every 8 hours. How much of the drug is in her system after 24 hours? 10. Estimating body surface Area: In medicine, calculation of body surface area is sometimes very important. For example, severe burns are usually described as covering a percentage of the body surface area. Some chemotherapy drug dosages are based on body surface area. How might body surface area be measured? What factors influence the accuracy of the estimates? 11. Coronary Care Nurse Taking observations e.g. Blood Pressure, heart rate, heart rhythm, respirations, chest status, temperature etc. Recording and keeping track of the patient’s condition – “If they have an intravenous I will record this”. Calculate dosages and fluids. 12. Blood Typing Unit—students first a statistical analysis of their own class’ results; they are then asked to make predictions of the whole population based on class results; example—what percent of the population would have O-Neg., etc.; this activity also uses number sense (fractions, decimals, %). 13. Reading Data in various forms (charts, tables, graphs, etc.); this is a concept covered often in PreAlgebra or Algebra I and then transferred as students are expected to interpret more complex data. Combinations of medical terminology produce different meanings just like combinations of mathematical terminology produce different meanings; example in medical terminology would be the meaning of angiogram and a mathematical example would be right rectangular prism PTO D:\234825159.doc 14. Mathematics for reading various medical reports, charts, and graphs (baby’s heart rate monitor during labor; X-rays, MRI tests, etc.) 15. Calculating Intake and Output In the pediatric population, generally we are concerned about the total intake the client receives per day. Output is equally important. Therefore, all fluids are calculated for infants, small children, and others whose fluid balance status is of concern. Nurses must perform dosage calculations when administering medications and intravenous fluids. D:\234825159.doc
