Title: Addressing Gaps in CPR Education in Cathedral City: A Community Assessment and Healthy People 2030 Goals
For this week’s assignment, you will
be utilizing the community assessment you did in Community Health I. You will
write a 1500-2000 word paper discussing the aspects of a health concern not
being addressed despite the efforts of services and partnerships involved and

windshield survey, interviews, observations, etc.) to answer the questions. Support your ideas with at least three (3)
sources in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA
writing style for the essay. Answer the following questions to assist in data
interpretation:

relating to that specific health concern. Think about your
assessment from N492…what did your findings show related to services that
are provided yet problems on certain topics still being an issue? This can
be a few that you have noticed and learned about but should include your
topic of choice. The Healthy People 2030 goals should be related to
your specific topic and is required in this section for full credit – you
must find goals from Healthy People 2030 and discuss (don’t forget to cite

when someone’s heartbeat or breathing has stopped. Immediate CPR can double or
triple the survival chances after cardiac arrest (American Heart Association
[AHA], n.d). Cathedral City, with its diverse and active population, needs
widespread CPR knowledge to ensure effective emergency response. By providing
CPR education, we equip residents with essential skills to act swiftly,
enhancing the community’s overall safety and well-being. · What similarities and differences are apparent between
the data that were gathered and the data that were generated? · What are the weaknesses and strengths of this community?

Observing and Evaluating Health and Safety in Licensed Child Care Centers Observing Health and Safety Measures in Early Childhood Education Settings Title: Promoting Positive Emotional Climate and Encouraging Risky Play in Early Childhood Education
Introduction and Objectives:
For this assignment you will use videos to observe and evaluate the health and safety conditions in a variety of licensed child care centers. This assignment addresses two Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) for CDE 112: SLO 2 – Evaluate environments for both positive and negative impacts on children’s health and safety; SLO 3 – Reference current regulations, standards, policies, and procedures related to health, safety, and nutrition in early childhood settings.
Preparation (all page numbers below refer to Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Young Child, 9th Ed):
Review Teachers’ Safety Checklist 7-4: Indoor and Outdoor Spaces (p. 185-186)
Review Teacher Checklist 5-3: How and When to Wash Hands (p. 126)
Review Teacher Checklist 5-4: Sanitary Diapering Procedure (p. 127)
Review Teacher Checklist 8-3: Guidelines for Selecting Safe Toys and Play Equipment (p. 214)
Read assigned article: Supporting Young Children’s Risky Play
Instructions and Sample: The eight (08) video clips are divided into sections based on the Health and Safety Checklist. For each video, you will select and describe a portion of the action or environment, and compare what was observed to criteria outlined in the Health and Safety Checklist, explaining the ways the observation either meets, or does not meet, the standard(s). In addition, you will identify what you would have liked to observe on the video to be able to completely judge the component. Be sure to include a variety of checklist items in each section. Below is a sample:
Sample Video: Evan, Elyas, Lyric, and Itiah On the Bus (run time: 5:25 minutes)
What was observed? (This can be a summary or portion of the video.)I observed four children playing in the dramatic play area of the classroom. One child indicates that, “We need to go.” Two of the children move to an adjacent platform area (with two steps) and pretend to get on a bus. The girl uses a coat rack to simulate driving the bus. When they have completed the bus ride, the two children go back down the two steps. The boy has his hands full with a briefcase and other items, and he stumbles a bit on the two steps but recovers and does not fall.
In what ways does this relate to one of the measures on the Health and Safety Checklist? (Does it meet the criteria? Why or why not? Be sure to include the Item Number from the Checklist for reference.)When evaluating the classroom layout and materials, I was impressed by the size of the dramatic play area. The four children moved about comfortably, engaging with each other and a variety of props. I believe this play area is in compliance with Item 13, which indicates that “play equipment and materials are stored in designated areas; they are inspected frequently and safe for children’s use.” I noticed that the child stumbled on the steps, and wondered if a handrail or ramp should have been available, but in checking Item 16, “Stairs are covered with a non-slip surface.” A ramp for the steps would be useful for a child with mobility concerns. What would you have liked to observe in the video related to the item number you referenced, or to a different item on the checklist? I noticed that there was a string of lights hanging down the wall on the left side of the platform area. This appears to violate Item 10, which indicates that “electrical outlets are covered with safety caps.” The lights appeared to be just hanging straight down, and should have been strung out of children’s reach to be in compliance.
Assignment Requirements: Please write your paper using the sequence provided. Section 1: Equipment and Furnishings — Indoor and Outdoor Checklist Video 1: Evan and Pharoh At the Water Table (run time: 2:31 minutes)- Indoor Checklist What was observed?

What would you have liked to observe in the video related to the strategies for “Provisions of Positive Emotional Climate?” Section 5: Analysis and Reflection Safety guidelines and checklists are designed to keep children healthy and safe by providing stimulating environments that prevent injury. However, some parents and researchers argue that we limit children’s potential when we provide environments that are “too safe”. After evaluating the videos 1-4 (Indoor/Outdoor Checklists) and reading the article, Supporting Young Children’s Risky Play, choose one of these videos that demonstrate one concept or perspective from the article and answer the following questions:
Identify one concept from the article on risky play that you would like to discuss.
Choose one video from videos 1-4 to demonstrate that concept. Name the video and describe what you observed.
What details from the video illustrate the concept you chose? Provide three examples with details.
In what ways could you share information about risky play with families and/or coworkers? What aspects would you want to convey to them? -
