Smoking In A Group Home: A Case Study

The case does not provide information as to what Nora’s antecedents and circumstances for the reason as to why she is in a group home. However, as a mental health clinician working in a group home and responding to Nora's comments regarding smoking a few cigarettes and drinking wine may include the consequences of underage drinking and smoking. Conceivably, around a portion of the variance in birth for teens results and other ages result from systematic variations to the extent of unseen behavior or the relationship of such behavior with the use tobacco (Walker, Tekin, & Wallace, 2009). Therefore, how individuals behave, after learning about such facts may realize their mistakes, and in my personal view, everyone makes mistakes. Moreover, I

There are a variety of prenatal teratogens that can compromise educational performance and social adjustment in a child’s life. For example, parents use tobacco products have infants who may be born underweight, have physical deficiencies, as well as have the increase of risk for “long-term attention, learning, and behavior problems” (Berk, 2013, p. 116). Moreover, maternal use of tobacco, alcohol, and exposure to environmental contaminants are linked to inattention and hyperactivity to greatly increase the prenatal risk of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Berk, 2013, p. 304) impair impulse control, attention, planning, and other executive processes such as cognitive processes of working memory. Also, socioeconomic conditions such as poverty and residing in demanding and stressful conditions can impair executive function with vigorous negative outcomes for educational success and social change (Berk, 2013 p. 303). Interestingly, the concept of weathering suggests the increasing influence of poor living environments, insufficient nourishment, and elevated stress levels on

(2010), and Bingol et al. (1987) defines the reality that females with a low SES typically birth babies have a decrease in birth weight and height, smaller head circumference, an increase in malformations, ADHA/ADD (May & Gossage, 2011). In fact, even with no exposure to alcohol and lower levels of nutritional antioxidants, the population has higher risk factors (May & Gossage, 2011). In viewpoint, the fundamental factors of teen pregnancy causes necessitate the consideration of risk for teens and families. Moreover, in such consideration diminishing poverty, lessening academic failure, addressing family and behavioral obstacles, and the expansion of “employment and skills training, and family life education” may be helpful to target those young people at highest risk (Papalia, 2015, p. 369). On June 4, 1991, Florida's Healthy Start program became law. The program makes available a comprehensive risk assessment for Florida's expectant females as well as their newborn infants to detect those that are at in danger of “poor birth, health and developmental outcomes” (Florida Department of Health, 2017). However, there is the need for prenatal education in the community that should include mental health
