Download or read book Testing Baby written by Rachel Grob and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within forty-eight hours after birth, the heel of every baby in the United States has been pricked and the blood sent for compulsory screening to detect or rule out a large number of disorders. Newborn screening is expanding rapidly, fueled by the prospect of saving lives. Yet many lives are also changed by it in ways not yet recognized. Testing Baby is the first book to draw on parents’ experiences with newborn screening in order to examine its far-reaching sociological consequences. Rachel Grob’s cautionary tale also explores the powerful ways that parents’ narratives have shaped this emotionally charged policy arena. Newborn screening occurs almost always without parents’ consent and often without their knowledge or understanding, yet it has the power to alter such things as family dynamics at the household level, the context of parenting, the way we manage disease identity, and how parents’ interests are understood and solicited in policy debates.
Book Synopsis Visual Impairments by : National Research Council
Download or read book Visual Impairments written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-08-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When children and adults apply for disability benefits and claim that a visual impairment has limited their ability to function, the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) is required to determine their eligibility. To ensure that these determinations are made fairly and consistently, SSA has developed criteria for eligibility and a process for assessing each claimant against the criteria. Visual Impairments: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits examines SSA's methods of determining disability for people with visual impairments, recommends changes that could be made now to improve the process and the outcomes, and identifies research needed to develop improved methods for the future. The report assesses tests of visual function, including visual acuity and visual fields whether visual impairments could be measured directly through visual task performance or other means of assessing disability. These other means include job analysis databases, which include information on the importance of vision to job tasks or skills, and measures of health-related quality of life, which take a person-centered approach to assessing visual function testing of infants and children, which differs in important ways from standard adult tests.

Book Synopsis The Baby Development Test by : Dorothy Einon
Download or read book The Baby Development Test written by Dorothy Einon and published by Random House. This book was released on 2006 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Should my baby be talking by now?' 'Why hasn't he started feeding himself yet?' Anxious parents the world over ask themselves these same questions. A recent survey by the Social Issues Research Centre revealed that three-quarters of parents wanted more guidance on whether their babies' cognitive skills were above or below average. In response to this, leading psychologist Dr Dorothy Einon, has devised a test that will enable you to address these and many other developmental concerns. Simple, observational tests, conducted at home, will help you to monitor your baby's physical, cognitive and social development and compare him to the average baby of his age. You can chart yout baby's growth rate; test his senses and mobility; find out what he can understand, remember and recognise, as well as learn how he perceives the world. Dr Einon provides fascinating insight into the mind of a baby and gently reminds parents that while some babies do develop at an exceptional rate, all babies are different and those with lower scores have plenty of time to catch up with their peers.

Book excerpt: Phlebotomy uses large, hollow needles to remove blood specimens for lab testing or blood donation. Each step in the process carries risks - both for patients and health workers. Patients may be bruised. Health workers may receive needle-stick injuries. Both can become infected with bloodborne organisms such as hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis or malaria. Moreover, each step affects the quality of the specimen and the diagnosis. A contaminated specimen will produce a misdiagnosis. Clerical errors can prove fatal. The new WHO guidelines provide recommended steps for safe phlebotomy and reiterate accepted principles for drawing, collecting blood and transporting blood to laboratories/blood banks.
