CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Normal children, as well as those children with leg and arm disability, needs care and support in order to achieve physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being.
Children with leg and arm disability need more love, encouragement and positive support from parents to help ensure good health, so that they can have a strong sense of self-worth, confidence, and determination and to become productive members of the family and community.
On a report published by Care Quality Commission (2012), it stated that what children with physical disability want is to have the same opportunities in life as their peers. These young people still face many barriers to enjoy their rights and to access services they need. It reported how many families with disabled children still have to fight to ensure adequate services for their children.
According to a research of Joseph Rowntree Foundation(2011), disabled children cannot live a normal life because they cannot get government health services to help their living condition such as giving them

The purpose is to regain normal or near normal state of health in the event of disease or injury by actions deliberately selected and performed by support persons to help individuals or groups under their care to maintain or change conditions in themselves or their environments. This theory defines a nursing client as a human being who has "health related /health derived limitations that render him incapable of continuous self care or dependent care or limitations that result in ineffective / incomplete care. This incapable individual needs care from their support person until they become independent and gradually able to perform basic tasks. They will need support person to identify their strength. More simply stated, her definition of nursing 's goal was "overcoming human limitations" (Orem, 1959, p.
Are met by professionals, because due to their illness they are experiencing changes and therefore the relevant staff will be able to help with the specific care that they need for their specific needs. This will help professionals to be able to support the client in the best possible way that will benefit them overall when receiving their care
Cedar Rapids v. Garrett F. Garret F., was a quadriplegic who was ventilator-dependent due to his spinal column being severed in a severe motorcycle accident when he was 4 years old. During the school day, he required a personal attendant within hearing distance to see to his health care needs. He required urinary bladder catheterization, suctioning of his tracheostomy, observation for respiratory distress, and other assistance. He attended regular classes in a typical school program and was successful academically.
Down syndrome is a condition which extra genetic material slows down the way in which an individual develops, both physically and mentally. As stated by the NHS; each individual with down syndrome is affected differently and can vary, some may need a lot of medical assistance whereas others may lead a normal healthy lifestyle but share similar characteristics. Delayed development: All service users with down syndrome has some degree of learning difficulty and delayed development, however, this varies between each individual. Having down syndrome they may experience some health problems which may effect them in every day life. However yet again each individual is different some may have more health problems than others.
Question 1: There are many reasons why children's and young people's development may not follow the expected pattern some of these are: • Having a disability: having a disability can have a major impact on many areas of development. For example a physical disability would affect the way the child gets around or they may need to have extra support like bigger pencils. Having early supports with disabilities can help to minimise the effects of the disability. • Emotional reasons: Children who have poor attachments may lack confidence to try new things and will have a lack of motivation. They could have low self-esteem, this can be detrimental to a child's development.
Question 2 2.1 Describe ways in which having a child with a complex disability or condition can impact on different aspects of families lives. To live with disable child can have deep impact on overall family members. It turns out to be an exclusive shared experience for the families and this may impact on the overall family functioning. While considering the positive impact, this widens the horizons, raising more awareness among family members considering their
Part C - Disability affects development and learning because disability affects children's development in different ways. That can be physically and sensory, social, emotional and behavioural and learning or cognitive. So say a child with Hearing impairment affects language and communication in that they may struggle to understand words in a book and get stressed at trying to read aloud.
It is the person and their physical, emotional, and psychological needs that are the basic focus of nursing’s attention. In order to care for a patient, the nurse must incorporate all these needs. For example, providing reassurance with an anxious patient who just finished hip surgery. Care also plays a major part when taking care of a unique patient. Caring influences my personal philosophy because it is the most important aspect of nursing.
Deinstitutionalization has not proved successful for all intellectually and developmentally disabled persons, and without substantive investment and reform, thousands of those disabled persons may wind up without resources to care for themselves.
Nurses are determined to accomplish one thing in their career; save and change lives. That being said, nurses must have the determination and drive to do what every it takes to assist their patient. Nurses are naturally determined to make sure that their patients are able to recover and return back to their normal lives. As described in Fundamentals of nursing: The art and science of nursing care, “Autonomy is the right to self-determination.
My Personal Philosophy and Values of Nursing Nursing is proving care, support, and serve people who are in need. The purpose of nursing is to improve patient 's health condition to a better life. The goal of this paper is to explain my personal philosophy and clarify some of my values of nursing. Personal Philosophy

The Purpose of The Theory The purpose of Henderson’s theory is to give the principles that help construct practice and to generate further nursing knowledge. Considering doing so, it helps nurses to understand their purpose and role in nursing in the healthcare setting. Henderson believes that the unique function of the nurse is to help the person sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (to a peaceful death) that he would do unaided if he had the strength, will or knowledge.

The goals of nursing profession are involve ethical and protecting patients from harm (Kopala& Burkhart, 2005). It is looking at or investigating certain issues about human ability that concerned what ought to be, what is right, or wrong.
Also another goal is to help regain a therapeutic health state and in the occurrence of an illness or injury to help control,
The report further argued that the disability prevalence is higher for developing countries with about one-fifth of the estimated global total experiencing significant disabilities (6). In South Africa disability is concern and most disabled people face major physical and attitudinal barriers in their communities. Prevalence estimates disabled persons vary considerable between and within nations, and in many countries data on disabled children is lacking especially in low income countries (7). In South Africa the National Disability prevalence is estimated at 7, 5%, and disability is more prevalent amongst the elderly and females as compared to male counterparts (8, 3% and 6, 5% respectively). The prevalence of specific type of disability shows that 11% of persons aged five years and older had seeing difficulties, 4,2% had cognitive difficulties, 3,6% had hearing difficulties, and about 2% had communication, self-care and walking
