INTRODUCTION
Nursing is main profession within healthcare sector as they are responsible for providing
appropriate healthcare services to service users (Cassiani and Lira, 2018). This study is based on
a case or Rosie in which she is facing problems in poor physical growth and development. It will
discuss importance of public healthcare program, Change4life healthy eating that can promote
healthy eating behaviour.
MAIN BODY
Development milestone in this case
Rosie, 25-month old girl is not meeting her developmental milestones and has not been
gaining any weight. On the basis of his daily activities and needs, it is known that she likes to
have sugary drinks and bottle of milk throughout the day. As a new mom, it is becoming difficult
for me to handle Rosie (Carpenter and Moser, 2020). It is easier as a new mom to eat takeaways
but this lifestyle has negative impacts on children’s growth. As a supervisor nurse, it is
responsibility to identify reasons of poor child growth and development and suggest better
strategies for child development. Some common skills that should be developed in Rosie include:
climbing over furniture, kicking a ball, running to a short distance (De Onis and et.al., 2019). A
standard weight that baby girls should have is: 12 kg and for that supervisor nurse needs to focus
on diet.
NHS change4life eating healthy guidance
On the basis of above discussed case of Rosie, it can be said that she is facing problems in
physical development and growth. Poor development and problems in weight gain can affect her
physically and mentally as well. One of the main reasons of her poor development and growth is:
poor diet and having sugary drinks only throughout the day (Conolly, Saunders and Neave,
2017). So, on this basis, it can be said that Rosie needs to have nutritional values of food and she
can be engaged in healthy eating with the help of guidance, provided by NHS.
Change4life, public health programme tackles cause of obesity. The main aim of this
public program is to help families to adopt effective 7 healthy behaviours. Some healthy
behaviours, suggested by this program that can help out mother of Rosie in developing physical
health or growth of Rosie include:
5A day: It suggests ways to eat recommended 5 portion of fruit and veg each day.
