Healthy body functioning

(approx. 200 words)
Make sure you include:
 a description of the body system selected (e.g. respiratory
system)
 strategies identified in the individualised care plan used to
promote healthy functioning (e.g. smoking
elimination/reduction)
 your role in providing support
 your reflection on the outcome of your support.
Journal entry:
The primary organs of the respiratory system are lungs. The main
function of the lungs is exchange of the gases as we breathe. While
inhaling air, the red blood cells collect the oxygen from lungs and while
exhaling the lungs collect the carbon dioxide from red blood cell. The
reduction in oxygen called hypoxia and the complete lack of oxygen
called anoxia. The diseases of respiratory system can be divided into two
categories virus(Influenza) and chronic disease(Asthma).
To promote healthy respiratory system several things can be included
But before that we need to consider the age and disability of the person-
Walking and running for half an hour, if client smokes encourage him/her
to stop smoking, exercise, and yoga and including more healthy food in
diet.
Support worker role and responsibilities to provide healthier service to
client.
Support work is responsible to encourage client to follow up the care plan.
Support worker should do the activities include in care plan. Further,
32476B/P2 E1144 CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing, Home and Community) Page 10 of

Support worker can is responsible to:
- Reduce or eliminate smoking.
- Keep him away from cold or wear him proper/ warm cloths.
- Do not take him in dusty and smoky environment.
- Limited or recommended exercises only.
After including these activities in the care plan, the client will have more
healthy body function. As a person is getting old, they are more prone to
disease but we can reduce the chances of diseases by promoting client.
This care plan will not only focus on the respiratory system but will
improve the overall functioning of the body.
The outcome of this includes the betterment of the client by improving
respiratory system and be healthy. According to my reflection to the
support has a good outcome as clients have started to take proper diet
and trying to quit smoking by reducing one cigarette per day. They have
started to exercise on daily basis. Hence, the outcome is positive.

The next body system is the Digestive system. The main part of the Digestive
system is mouth, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The main
function of the digestive system is to break down the food, extracting nutrients
and removing the waste from body. The common problem related to digestive
system is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Gallstones, Celiac
Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
To promote healthy digestive system, the support worker can encourage
eating healthy food, less carbs, more fibre and exercise. These foods can
include in the care plans as well. Oats can be included in the morning for
better bowel movement.
Support worker can encourage client to eat healthy food including veggies
and fruit. Support worker can encourage client to stop drinking soft drinks but
plenty of water. If a client cannot prepare food for himself then support worker
should cook food very simple with very less spices according to client
