Nurse Presentation!!
Guest speaker – NURSE KRYSTLE.
The questions we created last class:
How do I go about to schedule a time to see you? What are covid protocols? And, Does this mean that we are allowed to go visit the HighSchool at any time, or must we make an appointment.?
Does it cost anything to set up an appointment with you?
Can I get free condoms from you?
What shall I do if I feel like I have anxiety or a “mental health” concern?
Do you provide any counseling?
If I have a serious wound, but not an emergency, shall we come and visit you?
Can you make a referral to a Dr if that is needed?
Thanks to nurse KRYSTLE!!!

Week 8 (Feb 25th).
OK, for this next week (March 4th) we have a guest speaker:
Our NURSE – Krystle Rodrigez!! I want you to think about questions for her. She may have a lot of info to share, but to make it more specific for you personally you want to ask specific questions. If you want to do this anonymously you can do so by emailing the question to me, or Heather/Morgan. We will NOT share the name of the student asking the question if you don’t want us to. However, it is also good practice to ask questions to medical professionals. Getting out of your comfort zone is at times a must.
Video – Poisoning
Video – Allergic reactions
Emergency preparedness. – Earthquake. A little quiz.

Asthma:
Do you know of anyone that has asthma?
Share experience:
What is the difference between asthma and allergies? (this also includes the Covid/Flu/Cold): This is also important to think about as this is one of the “underlying conditions” that can make the Covid-19 be much harder to fight off. If you have asthma you should be extra cautious of contracting viruses.
- Follow the chart below to find the answer of the symptoms: JimBob is having a hard time breathing, he’s coughing, tightness of chest, slight headache, feeling weak, – What do you think happened to JimBob? What shall we do to help?

Week 6 ( Feb 11)
Review: last week we talked about concussion & Spinal injuries.
We also went over the late snack routines of JimBob. He still struggles with this. You had some really good ideas to help him e.g. later dinner time… but it’s still not working. Do you have other ideas?
Insurance and how it works:
When you have a paid job you hopefully get a range of options provided with your employer, that they help pay for. If this is not offered from your employer you need to find one yourself. We will look into this more at a later class but first let’s check on how it actually works and some basic terminology.
Premium, Deductible, out of pocket maximum, co-pay,

Also, Covid numbers are going down. Hence there are opportunities to start exercising. Safety first !!!! make sure the place you go to follow the state guidelines.

Spinal injury:
Have you experienced or seen this happen to anyone?
Concussion and Head injuries:
Have you experienced or seen this happen to anyone?
Who is most at risk for a concussion?
People at greater risk for concussion include:
- Older people and children ages 4 and under due to their risk of falls.
- Adolescents due to bike accidents and sports-related head injuries.
- Military personnel due to exposure to explosive devices.
- Anyone involved in a car accident.
- Victims of physical abuse.
- Anyone who has had a previous concussion.
Adolescents are at higher risk of concussion than any other age group. Researchers think this is because their brains are still developing. The brain is still laying down its neural pathways and adolescents’ necks are typically weaker at this age than in young adults and older people.

6 BENEFITS OF WALKING EVERYDAY
- Walking Boosts Your Mood
Did you know that walking can positively boost your mood… without you even realizing it?(4) A 2016 study found that walking for just twelve minutes resulted in an increase in attentiveness and self-confidence (3).
- Walking Improves Cognitive Performance
One study (5) concluded that there seems to be a link between walking (at a preferred speed) and cognitive performance in both children and adults.
- Walking Lowers Blood Pressure
Studies have shown (6) how moderate intensity walking can help lower the risk of high blood pressure.
- Walking Can Help Prevent or Control Diabetes
According to the results from the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study (7), women who walked at least thirty minutes daily, decreased their risk of diabetes by 30%. Walking has proven to be effective at shrinking dangerous abdominal fat that can cause diabetes.
- Walking Can Help Reduce Risk of Cancer
A research study done by Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention (8) found that women who walked at least seven hours per week were 14% less likely to develop breast cancer. Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco and Harvard University (9), found that men who had prostate cancer and who walked at least three hours a week reduced their chances of a recurrence.
- Walking Can Help Reduce Pain and Improve Mobility
In an article by the American Heart Association (10), they explain how walking can significantly improve mobility loss for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
