  5. Chronic Childhood Illnesses • Some common chronic illnesses:allergies, diabetes, epilepsy • ECPs need specific information and directions from the parents on things such as symptoms and medications, as well as authorization to administer medications • How can an ECP support a family dealing with chronic illness of a child? (see Web Resource article at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/lung/asthma/guidfam.pdf)

  6. Foodborne Illnesses • “Caused by the presence of bacteria, viruses, parasites, or some form of molds growing on foods”(Marotz, p. 490) • Take precautionary measures with food when: • purchasing • storing • handling • preparing

  7. Irradiation of Foods • FDA approved “additive” to foods that destroys illness-producing microorganisms in food • Involves exposing food to low levels of gamma radiation, but • disease-causing germs are reduced or eliminated. • the food does not become radioactive. • dangerous substances do not appear in the foods. • the nutritional value of the food is essentially unchanged. (Marotz, p. 490)

  8. Irradiation, cont. • Foods that can be irradiated: meat, poultry, grains, and many seafoods, fruits and vegetables. • Benefits: • control mold • inhibit sprouting • kill parasites (Trichina in pork) • sterilize herbs and spices • control insects • increase shelf life • reduce bacterial contamination in meat and poultry (www.foodsafety.gov under CDC - irradiation)

  9. Wrap-up quote • The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. - William Arthur Ward
