Explain how a nutritional imbalance may contribute to dental health problems among youth.
Sugars (a type of carbohydrate) are found naturally in some foods, such as fruit and honey, and are added to many processed foods, such as cakes and soft drinks. Sugars provide a food source for bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria produce acids that can contribute to dental decay and the development of dental caries.
Identify four changes in social development during the youth stage of the lifespan.
Changes may include:
Explain the process of fertilisation.
Fertilisation occurs when a sperm penetrates an ovum and the genetic materials fuse together to make a single cell called a zygote.
Describe how bulk billing promotes the health and wellbeing of Australians.
Medical centres who bulk bill only charge the Schedule fee for a doctor’s consultation. This means there would be no out-of-pocket costs to patients who need to see the doctor. Bulk billing makes it easier for people on low incomes to visit the doctor, as cost is no longer a barrier for them, decreasing stress and anxiety (mental health and wellbeing)
Describe how obesity could impact two dimensions of youth health and wellbeing.
A young person who experiences obesity may regularly experience feelings of embarrassment or shame about how their body looks. They might feel uncomfortable eating around other people for fear of being judged. This impacts their emotional health and wellbeing, as they manage and express their feelings of embarrassment, shame and discomfort.
A young person who experiences obesity may have low confidence and poor self-concept because they are embarrassed by their body and the way they look. They might internalise negative self-talk and, over time, this could lead to depression or anxiety, impacting mental health and wellbeing.
Discuss one strength and one limitation of the AGHE
Strengths: Simple visual guide for all people to use as a quick reference. The five food groups can be easily understood and recognised. Proportions are understood.
Limitations: Can be difficult to break composite foods, such as casserole or pizza, into particular groups. Servings sizes are not available.
Provide an example of how self-concept develops during the transition from youth to adulthood
As young people transition to adulthood and explore different values and beliefs, they may have a deeper understanding of who they are as people. This influences their emotional development and sense of identity. If they are satisfied with the person they have become, they may enter adulthood with a great sense of pride and achievement not experienced previously. As self-concept develops, individuals often become more comfortable with themselves. As a result, they generally become less concerned with what others think and more concerned with who they are as a person.
Explain two ways that low birthweight creates complications for a baby’s health and development.
Lower birthweight is associated with greater risk of complications such as:
Explain the difference between the Medicare levy and the Medicare levy surcharge.
The Medicare levy is an additional 2 per cent tax placed on the taxable income of most taxpayers. Those with low incomes or with specific circumstances may be exempt from paying the levy.
The Medicare levy surcharge is an additional 1 to 1.5 per cent tax on the income of high-income earners who do not have private health insurance. The Medicare levy surcharge increases as income increases.
Using an example, explain how income can contribute to variations in the health status of youth.
Youth from low-income families are more likely to live in high-poverty neighbourhoods, compared to youth from high-income families. These neighbourhoods often have more crime and street violence, and greater exposure to negative peer influences, such as substance abuse. This increases the risk of injury from street violence, or health issues resulting from the substance abuse. As such, youth from low-income families may have greater rates of morbidity compared to youth from high-income families.
Identify one example of a commercial factor and how it may act as an enabler or barrier to healthy eating among youth.
Examples include:
Identify a characteristic of a healthy and respectful relationship and discuss how it impacts an area of development.
Sample: Honesty is a characteristic of a healthy and respectful relationship. Honesty in a relationship can promote social development, as an honest relationship relies on being truthful. This requires effective communication and conflict resolution skills, both characteristics of social development.
Give an example of how opportunities for learning improve an area of development
Sample response: Involving the child in tasks like shopping and household jobs (e.g. sorting the washing) can be turned into experiences that improve their ability to focus, organise and plan for the future
