Qlt1 Task 2

Awareness of what health threats I might be susceptible to, and information I learned in this course about health behavior change has led me to take primary and secondary prevention actions (Straub, 2014, pp. 204). Knowing that I have a predisposition to breast cancer, ovarian cancer, hypertension, and heart problems has motivated me to exercise and improve my physical fitness, and visit the doctor more regularly to stay as healthy as possible and keep myself from getting sick. I don’t do drugs or drink alcohol because such behaviors can cause short-term and especially long-term health consequences. These are examples of primary prevention. At a recent visit to the doctor, I was informed that I have high cholesterol,

As a new manager of an organization, I would first take a look at the organization’s entire infrastructure, and then evaluate the total quality management system that was implemented into that organization’s configuration. I would then implement my own infrastructure such as the Pareto run chart or subsequent cascading charts. I would create a quality development team that’s dedicated to instituting quality upgrades (a quality council). The quality council would have subcommittees that would be in control of managing and communicating total quality developments throughout the organization; reassuring duties such as project development teams, quality development managers, a quality training program, and planning development training (Goetsch

Federally-funded school meal programs, including the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP), serve an average of 31.3 million lunches and 11.1 million breakfasts per day at a cost to the country of $11.1 billion in 2011 (Food & Nutrition Services, 2012). These federally-funded meals are an excellent opportunity for regulation of nutrition as well as education regarding healthy choices. Obesity is clearly a great threat to the health of our nation, and the federal government must step in to defend its citizens against this growing threat. Children are at the mercy of their families, their social conditions, and their schools, predisposing them to obesity through poor nutritional options and a lack of education; the federal government must intervene through regulation of school meals and snacks to protect children from the abundance of unhealthy options while also educating them and reducing childhood obesity.

The national school lunch program includes assistance provided to children and poor family to get healthy food and right nutrition through school facility. This program helps them to achieve a healthy life for their children with food composed of balanced essential nutrients.

Even though there has been a lot of great things that the program PICC has done one of the biggest successes has been the implementation of education children and their parents this success has been shown in many ways. Like children knowing they need to exercise more, to parents being aware the foods they feed their children need to be healthier. Not only class but videos have been implemented in to show families what needs to change so they can help themselves become healthier and not getting heart diseases. The policies and environmental changes were wanted for encouraging a civil relationship and structure a bridge that goes between parents and providers to make communication better overall about children’s nutrition and health (Dev, Byrd-Williams, Ramsay, McBride, Srivastava, Murriel, & Adachi-Mejia, 2017).

The Child Nutrition Program and/or School Meals are a combination of several programs that are federally funded and then carried out on a state level. Some of the programs that are included in the Child Nutrition Program are: the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, Summer Food Service Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and Special Milk Program (School Meals, 2016). These programs were created to help fight hunger and obesity by providing nutritious meals to our school children. The programs are necessary and making a difference in the children they help, but it comes at a cost. In 2012 “the National School Lunch Program cost $11.6 billion” (School Meals, 2016) and is estimated

The National School Lunch Act is a fairly recent addition to American society. For, as the world waged war a second time, the United States began to worry about the strength and health of the country’s soldiers. However, in the beginning, selling excess agricultural goods was more important than building a healthy, well-balanced meal for students. Unfortunately, many children coming from poorer families could not afford well-balanced school lunches, so in order to compensate, the School Lunch Program changed its focus to help these students. This program, however, decreased schools’ lunch budgets, and schools had a hard time keeping up with the amount of free meals they had to provide, so they came up with some extra ways to increase

In over 12.9 million children participated in the program every day, and 10.1 million received a free or reduced-price meal. The program was designed to assist school system to provide nutrition breakfast for all children in the unite state especially those childrens from low income family (Gndersen, Craig, and Michele Ver Ploeg 2015). How does the school breakfast program works, the school districts and independent schools that choose to take part in the breakfast program receive cash subsidies from the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) for each meal they serve, and they have to serve breakfast that meet federal requirements, and they must offer free or reduced price breakfasts to eligible children. According to the U.S department of agriculture the children who qualify for free and reduced breakfast program, the children will from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for free meals, but those incomes between 130 percent and 185 percent of poverty level are eligible for reduced-price meals. In the year 2012, the school breakfast program cost $3.3 billion, up from $1.9 billion in the year 2005. The cost in previous years was in 1970, $10.8 million; in 1980, $287.8 million; in 1990, $599.1 million; and in 2000, $1.39 billion (Gndersen, Craig, and Michele Ver Ploeg

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) are federally assisted meal programs that provide free or reduced cost breakfasts and lunches to children in schools.
