A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa (NAU)

Offered by Prime Senior,
A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa (NAU)

O curso A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa vai abordar boas práticas sobre a forma mais eficaz de realizar a higiene de uma pessoa, independentemente do seu grau de dependência. A Higiene da Pessoa Idosa é importante na saúde, conforto e qualidade de vida. Pretendemos dar-lhe boas práticas, conselhos e novas ferramentas a colocar em prática durante os cuidados. Prevê-se que num futuro muito próximo Portugal seja um país envelhecido. O envelhecimento não seria preocupação, se na maioria dos casos, o mesmo não fosse acompanhado por algum grau de dependência.

As pessoas envelhecem e ficam mais frágeis, necessitando de ajuda para conseguirem satisfazer as suas necessidades básicas, logo é necessário que os cuidadores se preparem da melhor forma possível.

A Prime Senior irá acompanhar e responder às suas dúvidas durante e após o curso, porque sabemos que é durante a colocação dos conteúdos em prática que as dúvidas surgem.
Rentabilize o seu tempo e os recursos disponíveis em prol do bem-estar da pessoa que necessita dos seus cuidados.

Genomics: Decoding the Universal Language of Life (Coursera)

What is a genome? A genome contains all of the information that a cell needs to develop, function, and reproduce itself, and all the information needed for those cells to come together to form a person, plant, or animal. Genomes contain an organism’s complete set of genes, and also the even tinier genetic structures that help regulate when and how those genes are used. The ability to regrow a torn ligament, the clues that might predict the onset of mental illness, the nutritional potential of crops, and even the history of life itself, are all encoded in genomes. By taking this course, you will discover how scientists are deciphering the language of genomes to learn how to develop sustainable food and fuel supplies, improve disease treatment and prevention, and protect our environment.
