QUALITIES FOR AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP

• Respect – Friends have a basic respect for each other’s humanity and individuality. Good friends respect each other’s feelings and opinions and work to resolve their differences without demeaning or insulting each other.

• Acceptance – Friends feel free to be themselves and express their feelings without fear of ridicule or criticism.

• Trust – Friends are secure in the knowledge that they will not intentionally hurt each other.

• Loyalty – Friends can count on one another. They stand up for each other in both word and deed.

• Reciprocity – Friendships are reciprocal. There is give and take between friends and the feeling that both share joys and burdens more or less equally over time.

ELEMENTS OF HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE COMMUNICATION

• Self-Disclosure – Involves revealing personal information that we ordinarily wouldn’t reveal because of the risk involved. It usually increases feelings of closeness and moves the relationship to a deeper level of intimacy. Friends often disclose the most to each other, sharing feelings, experiences, hopes, and disappointments.

• Listening – Requires that we spend more time and energy trying to fully understand another person’s story and less time judging, evaluating, blaming, advising, analyzing, or trying to control. Empathy, warmth, respect, and genuineness are qualities of skillful listeners. Attentive listening encourages friends or partners to share more and, in turn, to be attentive listeners.

• Feedback – A constructive response to another’s self disclosure, is the third key to good communication. Giving positive feedback means acknowledging that the friends or partner's feelings are valid.

CHAPTER 6

HOW CONTRACEPTIVES WORK

• The only goal of a method of contraception is to prevent the sperm from reaching the egg.

• This is done through a variety of ways

• Hormone based

• Barrier Methods

• Natural Methods

• Spermacides

• IUD’s

• Bottom Line – Sperm doesn’t meet the egg; Baby not born.

MOST POPULAR CONTRACEPTIVES

• The most popular contraceptives are undoubtedly reversible in nature.

• They again range in the from and function, however, today in America the birth control pill is still the most often used method of contraception.

• This is becoming less common however with the emergence of more and more efficient and safer longer lasting methods such as the nuva ring and IUD’s

ISSUE OF ABORTION

• Few issues are as complex and emotionally charged as abortion. In the United States, public attention has focused on the legal definition of abortion and the issue of restricting its practice. These far-reaching questions are important, but the most difficult aspects of abortion are personal; especially for women who must decide whether to have an abortion.

• In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court made abortion legal in the landmark case of Roe vs. Wade. To replace the restrictions most states still imposed at that time, the justices devised new standards to govern abortion decisions. They divided pregnancy into three parts, or trimester, giving a woman less choice about abortions her pregnancy advances toward full term.

METHODS OF ABORTION

• Suction Curettage

• Manual Vacuum Aspiration

• Multi-fetal pregnancy reduction

• Dilation and evacuation

• Intact dilation and extraction

CHAPTER 13

PROCESS OF INFECTION

• Phase 1 – Viruses invade the body through a break in the skin or another portal of entry

• Phase 2 – Helper T cells trigger the production of killer T cells and B cells

• Phase 3 – Killer T cells and natural killer cells destroy infected body cells. B cells produce antibodies that bind to viruses and mark them for destruction by macrophages

• Phase 4 – When the danger is over, suppressor T cells halt the immune response. Memory B and T cells are reserved so that a quick response can be mounted for future invasions.

• Phase 5 - Homeostasis

IMMUNE RESPONSE

• Phase 1 – Viruses invade the body through a break in the skin or another portal of entry

• Phase 2 – Helper T cells trigger the production of killer T cells and B cells

• Phase 3 – Killer T cells and natural killer cells destroy infected body cells. B cells produce antibodies that bind to viruses and mark them for destruction by macrophages

• Phase 4 – When the danger is over, suppressor T cells halt the immune response. Memory B and T cells are reserved so that a quick response can be mounted for future invasions.

• Phase 5 - Homeostasis
