Caleb Appiah Agyeman was born on March 24th, 2015 at 3:25 am at Christ Hospital, located in Jersey City, NJ. Caleb was born two weeks before his original due date, April 4th, making him a preterm delivery. He was born a relatively healthy baby. The only complication at his birth was his mother having a cesarean section. The cesarean section was scheduled prior to his birth because his mother had a previous cesarean section with her second child. The male was born into a family of four, including his father, mother and two older siblings whom are both female. Being the last born of his family, and considering the seventeen-year age gap between him and his oldest sibling, Caleb is showered in love and surrounded by a vibrant family whom hail …show more content…
His current age is a critical stage to know whom to trust and whom not to trust. Caleb has shown signs of this stage by being very friendly to those who care for him and aloof toward strangers, until they prove otherwise. Considering his age, Caleb also falls into the first stages of many other theories. By my observations, he fits the description given by each theorist. Based on Freud's Psychosexual theory, Caleb enjoys pleasuring his mouth. Everything that is given to him, whether edible or an inanimate object, will go into his mouth and he is delighted when doing so. Despite being told take the items out of his mouth, he continues with this act of pleasure. This sense of curiosity also explains a stage in Piaget’s Periods of Cognitive Development. This stage is called Sensorimotor, and it describes how Caleb uses his five senses to understand the obscure world around …show more content…
Though I was unable obtain his immunization records, in consonance with the CDC (2015, p.1), Caleb should have received three doses of Hepatitis B, two doses of Rotavirus, three doses of DTaP, two doses of Hib, three doses of PCV13, and three doses of IPV. (CDC, 2015, p.1) His mother does not encourage the influenza vaccine considering that the shot can be ineffective at times. The vaccines he received have supplemented the lack of antibodies he received from only bottle-feeding. Though the World Health Organization (2015, p.1) recommends that infants be fed exclusively with breast milk for the first four to six months. Caleb only was breastfed until the age of four months because he preferred the bottle. Since he did not receive any antibodies, which as stated in the American Pregnancy Association article is “only found in breast milk” (American Pregnancy Association, 2015, p.1), it is expected that he can easily become sick, however Caleb is a relatively healthy baby. Although there was a time he had fallen ill, it was only due to a change in weather. It is too soon to determine whether this lack of breast milk will affect Caleb in the future, but as of now, he is doing well. He has been slowly introduced to solid foods and has a diet consisting of formula mixed with Gerber cereal and stage one baby food. The child is a difficult and fussy eater. Majority of the time his
Interview Task 1 | Zachary Geller Research: I did not know exactly what brand of “smart” board we are talking about A google search for “smart boards cbsd” brought up a link about SMART software training for teachers https://www.cbsd.org/Page/21533 [Link 1] This led me to believe that “SMART” is the actual brand of software + equipment that cbsd may be using Googling ‘“SMART” NOTEBOOK SOFTWARE’ brought up https://education.smar So after finding the device manufacturer's website I was able to find troubleshooting links under their support page You can choose which specific model the teacher uses and that provides additional troubleshooting manuals Attempt and Problem Solving: Now the issue here is that the ticket provided to the IT department has minimal helpful information. We only got “it was an emergency.”

Another case is that of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson whose death was initially ruled the result of accidental suffocation. A second autopsy produced a different conclusion, but when the second autopsy was performed, his body had been stuffed with newspaper, and his organs were missing ("Organ Trafficking, Melanin Theory & the Fountain of Youth -," n.d.). The brain, heart, lungs and liver were missing. He also discovered Johnson's death was due to blunt force trauma to the right side of his neck (Archer,
Michael “Meeko” Thompson has spent more than two decades locked away in the Chippewa Correctional Facility. Michael was arrested for selling three pounds of cannabis to an undercover officer. He had prior drug offenses, but no history of violence. When his house was raided after his arrest, a few antique firearms and one usable firearm were recovered. Despite the fact that the antiques did not fire and the one that did was owned by Michael’s wife, he was convicted of felony possession of a firearm along with his cannabis charges. This was his fourth offense which labeled him a habitual offender, and he was sentenced to 40-60 years in prison. He could have been sentenced to as little as five years. Notably, even the Michigan Supreme Court
The question today is whether Alex McKinnon should sue the National Rugby League for the injuries he sustained in a game last year. Well today learned colleagues, I will argue that he should not sue the NRL on the basis of negligence. First and foremost, on behalf of the National Rugby League and myself, we would like to extend our condolences for such a horrendous situation and we wish him all the best.
Caleb, the father, constantly manipulates to his own advantage. One may think Caleb was a superficial character who speaks softly in a cruel manner. Throughout the book if he feels one of his children have disrespected him he will quietly tell his wife. This sets up manipulation as the children have learnt early on if the do not behave their mother will fall more of a victim to their father. Any decision that is made comes from him. He keeps his children close to the homestead in fear of them running off and he needs them to keep the farm running. His thought would be he would rather have free labour from his children then have to pay for farm hands. He
When the child was first born (his name is Lionel), one of the first major decisions we made was determining what type of food we should give to him. I never leaned toward either one of the options more than the other, so I decided to feed him by giving him both breast milk and formula. This was a good decision in my opinion, because he got the nutrients and antibodies from the breast milk, as well as the ability to eat
The nurse should assess both the child and caregiver’s compliance with childhood immunization along with any concerns, fears, misconceptions, and contradictions that they may have. The child’s living situation should be considered. Anything that affects their ability to reach a health care facility or not being able to afford the care they need. Language barriers, literacy, and the ability to
Supplemental feedings and replacement milks include commercial formula and animal milks prepared with sugar, water, and other nutrients. Some mothers choose to combine the commercial formula with the milk mixture to stretch their supplies of each. Because HIV is spread through contact with infected body fluids, the child that is fed with supplemental feedings is at a lower risk of becoming infected than a child that comes in contact with the HIV-positive mother’s breastmilk. Common replacement milk recipes that were studied by Papathakis & Rollins in 2004 included 39g of full cream powdered milk (PM), 30g of sugar, and 450ml of water, and 300 ml full cream milk (FM), 30g of sugar, and 150 ml water.
Throughout Part I of Caleb’s Crossing,by Geraldine Brooks, children are viewed, and treated, entirely different by Puritan society as opposed to that of the Wampanoag. This can be clearly seen because Bethia is the daughter of an important, and devout, Puritan figure while Caleb is the son of the leader of the Wampanoag. Caleb is raised in traditional Wampanoag fashion, allowed to run around and remain unchecked while adults labor at agriculture and other chores. The Wampanoag philosophy on children can be most accurately portrayed by the quote, “... they say that since adult life is full of hardship, childhood should be free of it" (44). This
Fear often invokes the fight or flight syndrome in which we are compelled to either battle the fear firsthand or to run from the source of the fear despite the consequences. In the case of Cory Goodine, being witness to the unforeseen murder of Jason Boyd by none other than his own friend Todd Johnston sent a ripple of fear and shock through his body and paralyzed his mind resulting in the unfortunate events following the murder. Cory Goodine should not have been charged with accessory after the fact and/or aiding and abetting because the murder was not a conspiracy, he was in shock and terrified, and he was simply acting in self-defence. Nonetheless, some may argue that he did still aid Johnston’ although he did not have much of a choice given
It’s certainly true that vaccinating your child at an early age is very risky, and can cause them to get very sick. But while concerned parents are in fear of their child’s health, it is also true that “all living things are subject to attack from disease causing agents (“Human”). Otherwise put, your child will get sick no matter how protective you are of him or her. The immune system is designed to target, fight, and destroy foreign substances of the bod...
When a child is born, the doctors start a regular vaccination schedule to keep them up to date. One thing that parents should be aware of is that before a child is two years old the blood cerebral barrier will still allow foreign proteins to directly enter into the brain where they might cause possible damage (Rau). If a child is sick then it’s best to wait until the child feels better before giving them a vaccine....
Hepatitis B Vaccine Guidelines are as followed: 1. Establish standing orders for administration of hepatitis B vaccination beginning at birth. 2. Institute delivery hospital policies and procedures and case management programs to improve identification of and administration of immunoprophylaxis to infants born to mothers who are Hepatitis B surfac...
At the start of the scene there is only silence to be heard, but as the scene progresses the music starts. This music is an intense, head throbbing, and daunting sound that has a mesmerizing effect that causes confusion to the mind and body. This type of music sends the blood rushing through one’s entire body making the heart race and sweat cumulate. Those feelings are the exact feelings of Caleb as this genre of music begins to play and he frantically begins to dismantle the razor blade and forcefully drags the blade across his arm to let the blood run freely. This sudden change of behavior and drastic measures taken could be the sub conscious control of the sleep deprivation taking over Caleb’s actions. During this moment in the scene, Caleb’s uncontrollable behavior of the cutting of his arm could have been linked to the control of sleep deprivation on the mind, which then correlates to the meme control mentioned in Charles Gleick’s
