For my observations I have observed children at a birthday party. The reason for this setting is I thought it would be appropriate to better visualize children washing their hands in the kitchen sink as oppose to going to a school. It is not possible to watch children wash their hands in any other place but a restroom at this facility. As I know school policies do not permit adults to enter or use children’s bathroom so that’s why I went to a birthday party. The date of the party was March 4, 2016. I was able to interact with three children one by the name of Sofia Chavez of age 13, second was Anthony Chavez of age 10 and third was Alex Chavez of age 6. I asked these sibling if they would be kind enough to help me in a study. I asked them if they …show more content…
The first one who went was Sofia. She washed her hands for 30 seconds and was very thorough. She was able to lather the soap and distribute all throughout her hands. Second up was Anthony, he took about ten seconds to wash his hands and used no soap. The last one was Alex, he did not even want to wash his hands and just soaked them for five seconds. I soon realized that the only one who was somewhat properly washing her hands was Sofia. I was amazed at the fact that both boys had poor methods as opposed to their sister. I also was able to ask them how many times they washed their hand. The sister estimated about three times a day while the boys once a day.
I was able to speak with the children’s mother and better educate her on the washing hand process. I informed her that the minimum standards for washing hands included the following; children washing their hands after coming in contact with body fluids, drinking ,eating , playing and interacting with animals.

At Providence, NICU staffs are to wash their hands for 2 minutes prior to entering the unit and they will need to do a 15 sec hand wash every time they return from another unit. After 6 hours of working in the NICU, staff members are to wash their hands for 2 minutes again. The purpose of this research is about handwashing in the NICU and whether the 2 minute handwashing is good up to 6 hours or less. Hopefully, the outcome will determine that the 2 minute hand washing along with hand sanitizer will determine that it is effective up to 6 hours before another hand wash.

When teaching about skin, children and young people should be encouraged to wash their hands after using the toilet or before eating. We should also encourage them to wash themselves in the morning and before bed. Encouraging children to wash their faces (having individual flannels) is a good way to enforce this. We must point out to them the importance of the water temperature so they know the difference between

All children are different in their unique way. The goal of this assignment was to observe different children in an uninterrupted environment. Although all the children observed were the same age, they all acted differently during their observation. The differences in the way we react to different situations are what make us human. These differences can be explained through the theories that different psychologist have developed over the years. Some children react better to things like praise from a teacher or being able to be creative in the activities that they are participating in.
Generations of people have considered handwashing a measure of personal hygiene. In 1847, Dr. Semmelweis insisted that healthcare providers wash their hands with disinfecting agents between patients.

The CDC’s Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee published the Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health-Care Settings in 2002 that is based on hand hygiene foundations developed in generation past. In 2014, this guideline is still available online and used as a reference
For the first day of observations I begin with observing Faiths Physical domain. The Physical domain of a school age child is the physiological changes that happen in the body, such as puberty. This includes sensory-motor and nervous system development. (Thibodeaux, 2017) The average school age child’s height is about 3 and a half feet tall and weighs between forty and fifty pounds. (Kathleen Berger, 2015, p. 242) The most prevented disease of young children is tooth decay, by the age of six the average school age child has at least one cavity. (Kathleen Berger, 2015, p. 244) Most children by the age of six can catch a ball, write and say their ABC’s in sequence and name objects.

For this child observation, I decided to observe my younger brother Jacob. Jacob is 5 years old, but he insisted that I write that he is almost 6. He is also in kindergarten this year and loving every second of being a loud, rowdy boy. I suppose I am at an advantage in this observation since I have seen the numerous developments in Jacob’s life thus far.
