Week 8
By the end of this week
FIRST TASK: Update your checklist.
I have completed my judgements on all three health practices
I am in a position to reflect and act on feedback that I recieve from my course teacher
I have completed at least one PROOF READ through my practices document
Making comparisons between the three health practices that you have chosen
Using langugage like "advantages" & "disadvantages", "holistic" as key terms
Use the work that you have above (Your explanations on the advantages and disadvantages of all three in your work)
Making a clear, coherent and concise judgement about the best treatment (To the point, no waffling, makes sense and is grounded in the work you have done above and not made up from nowhere)
Clearly explains the best health practice in your opinion based on the work above and CLEARLY explains why. Does not just say "diclofenac is the best because it helps with the easing of pain....."
Here is an extract only from the Excellence exemplar
Overall, I believe that the best option for managing birthing pain is to use TENS. After considering the advantages and disadvantages, this is the one that is most likely to be effective in relieving pain while at the same time allowing the woman to have total control over her birthing experience. If she were to have an epidural, she wouldn’t be able to move around and try different positions, and it is more likely that she will have trouble pushing. Hypnobirthing is not very common, is expensive and time-consuming in preparation for the birth and is less proven to be effective, as well as not being well respected by many people. With TENs however, the cost is only $60 (online hire company – 15) and this can be used both at home and in the hospital. No pain relief option is perfect, so it is worth women researching all their options.
Clear use of langugage ("I believe the best", "in my opinion", "This is because", "after considering the advantages and disadvantages", "If they were to (Used to explain if they were to use a practice in your opinion that is less effective)
