is unable to feel and is facing the problem of breathlessness.
 Skeletal System – Jenny’s skeletal system is affected as she is having osteoporosis in
which the bones of her body have become weak.
 Integumentary System – Jenny’s integumentary system is affected as she is having and
facing problem of skin lacerations.
 Central Nervous System – Jenny’s CNS is affected which makes her difficult in

immunity levels, taking precautions at first hand and also making sure that specific
care standards are maintained. The spread of infections in body is also connected
to further focusing on adherence of best healthcare needs, taking proper care and
keeping up with therapies and check-ups at doctor. Infections in body are also

which are working when participated in physical activity within body. The passive
physical activity within body systems are maintained, where internal organs proper
functioning is there also with progressive attention towards engagement of all
organs effectively (Jalili-Firoozinezhad, Miranda and Cabral, 2021). By effective

Question 20 What does active physical activity contribute to healthy body functioning?
Answer The active physical activity contributes to healthy body functioning by properly
maintaining functional improvement, and also addressing specific efficacy for
keeping up with effective check on healthcare goals. Physical activity contributes to
healthy body functioning, as muscles and skeleton are working in proper manner
within individuals and also adherence towards specific aspects are worked on. The
physical activity has high correlation to healthy body functioning, where maintaining
proper consistency and check on physical abilities makes person strong. Also
physical activity effectively contributes to healthy body functioning for extensive

Question 21 How does knowing and sharing information about healthy body functioning enhance
quality in activities by care workers?
Answer The knowing and sharing of information about healthy body functioning enhances
specific working quality in activities by care workers as they are able to further
contribute to better treatments for all patients. It can be also analysed that
maintaining specific care of healthy body functioning also enhances vital
engagement profoundly. There is proper treatment done of patients, within timely
manner and also primitive focus is retained towards medical facilities maintenance.
It also further develops effective working rapport among medical treatments, also to
further develop fundamental vision based on specific timely therapies to be given.
By having knowledge and shared information, about healthy body functioning
between care workers there is proper competent engagement worked on.
Prioritising care among medical facilities develops critical growth to be developed
among functional care for all care workers (Yang and Ma, 2021).
