Blog Entry No. 3 (Administering of Medicines to the Patient)

1. What significant insights have you learned from the topic?
      The significant insights that I have learned from administering of medicines to the patient is...
First, giving the proper medicines of  the patient's specific illness is very important, because giving the wrong medicine to the patient may add problems to the illness of the patient . The wrong medicine may harm the patient's life. Secondly, following the prescription of the doctor is important too, because its from a doctor. They've learned about those medicines and etc.when they were still studying. That's why following the prescription  from the doctor is a must because they know best. And lastly, checking the expiration date is very important too, because the medicine that you're administering to the patient may be expired and that's dangerous because it may cause side effects to the patient and may harm its body.

2. How does proper administering of medicines help our patients in their recovery?
    The proper administering of medicines help the patients in fast recovery because, just by following the prescription of the doctor and doing it properly to the patient is already a big help for recovery. It helps to avoid further more illness/ injuries/ sickness to the patient. By proper administering the medicine to the patient, the medicine do its job for the illness/ sickness to lessen and to let the body of the patient recover.

Why do you think health care to the individual, to the family and to the community is important?

I think that health care to the individual is very important, because you'll be more responsible of yourself to take care of your health and not just rely on your parents or being careless about your health. Its also important because if there comes a day when you'll be alone in your life and you don't know how to take care of yourself because you're always relying on your parents then it will  be a problem. It will be a problem because you don't know how to take care of yourself and since you don't know you easily get sick. And also because if you're alone there's nobody who could help you if you're sick.That's why health care to the individual is very important even though we are still young to know about it but we should understand that we need to know it.

I think that health care to the family is very important, because it helps you to get to know each other especially how you feel and and your needs when you get sick. It's also important, because it creates close family ties in your family. 

I think that health care to the community is very important, because it helps you to get along with each other with your community. And it also helps us be caring to our community too even though they're not our family or relatives.

Recycled Craft Project:))))

^my experiences when making the project was fun most especially when we're joking aroundXD most especially when the boys in our group made the bracelet and necklace made from my beads:))) watching them was fun while making that because it seems like it's their first time making one..but oh well, at least they now know how to make it:) even though...its a girl thingXD and then also the bag that our group decided to do. when maam said that we could go downstairs at the caf where 3rd years or 4th years learn how to sew. so we went downstairs and then tried to sew the bag but there were complications on the machine so sadly we were not able to finish it that time. But Sirikit continued it at home so it's all done and it's totally cute:))))
