Study Notes
Substance Abuse
-
Stimulants: Speed up the nervous system, increasing alertness, energy, and confidence, and decreasing appetite. Side effects include higher blood pressure and dizziness. Examples: cocaine, amphetamines, tobacco, caffeine, nicotine.
-
Depressants: Slow down nervous system functions, causing tiredness, reduced awareness, and decreased sensitivity to pain. Side effects include slow breathing/heart rate, impaired coordination, dilated pupils, and sedation. Examples: alcohol, opioids (morphine, heroin, codeine), rohypnol.
-
Hallucinogens: Distort senses and perception, causing visual or auditory hallucinations. Side effects include increased heart/breathing rate, altered sense of time, speech problems, memory loss, depression, and flashbacks. Examples: LSD, PCP, magic mushrooms, ketamine.
Drug Abuse Motivations
- Individuals may abuse drugs due to factors like cultural influences, media portrayals, peer pressure, curiosity, social acceptance, lack of awareness about risks, celebrations, and performance enhancement (e.g., steroids).
Cannabis
- Derived from plants containing THC and CBD.
- Negatively impacts brain development.
- Minimum age for use, purchase, and cultivation is 19.
- Side effects include decreased coordination, risk of psychosis, impaired problem-solving, judgment, and decision-making.
- Driving under the influence of cannabis or alcohol is illegal and increases accident risk.
Smoking vs. Vaping
- Smoking risks include heart disease, stroke, and lung diseases.
- Vaping risks include coughing, wheezing, and asthma-like symptoms. Long-term effects are still under investigation.
- Both are harmful to lung health and cardiovascular health, containing numerous harmful chemicals and nicotine.
- Vaping contains a smaller amount of harmful chemicals compared to tobacco smoke.
CPR, Concussions, Overdose
- CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): Combines rescue breathing and chest compression to temporarily maintain blood flow to the brain until professional help arrives (2 breaths for every 30 compressions).
- Heart Attack: Sudden blockage of blood flow to the heart. Risk factors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, poor diet, and lack of exercise.
- Stroke: Sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain. Risk factors: high blood pressure, heart disease, smoking, and high cholesterol.
- Choking Signs: Clutching throat, panic, inability to speak or breathe, squeaky sounds, and loss of consciousness.
- AED (Automated External Defibrillator): Analyzes heart rhythm and provides electrical shock to restore heart rhythm in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.
- Rowan's Law: Requires annual review of concussion protocols for coaches/trainers to prevent further incidents of second impact syndrome (e.g., Rowan's case).
- Concussion Recovery: Rest (2+ days), gradual return to activities, and medical advice followed. Avoid excessive activity, screen time, driving, cycling, or exercising too early while recovering from a concussion.
Drug Overdose
- Symptoms: Difficulty walking, bluish or grayish lips, very small pupils, dizziness, confusion, weakness, and slow breathing.
- Narcan (Naloxone): Nasal spray that temporarily reverses overdose effects until medical help arrives (only one dose per bottle).
Nutrition
-
Fats:
- Unsaturated (good): Vegetable oils, nuts, seeds.
- Saturated (bad): Animal products, fatty meats, high-fat dairy.
- Trans (ugly): Industrially produced, increases bad cholesterol, decreases good cholesterol, and risks heart health.
- Health Concerns: Sodium, sugars, and saturated fats contribute to various health issues, including heart disease and high cholesterol.
Active Living
- Benefits: Improves mental health, mood, stress/anxiety reduction. Boosts physical health through heart disease/stroke prevention, stronger bones/muscles, weight control, and better sleep.
- Healthy Active Living: Includes emotional, physical, and social well-being.
- Warm-ups: Essential for injury prevention, preparation, and increased blood flow.
- Cool-downs: Crucial for gradual recovery of blood pressure/heart rate and controlled blood flow following exercise.
- Reps & Sets: Individual exercise execution (rep); group of executions (set).
Puberty Changes
- Males: Testosterone increase results in hair growth, deeper voice, penis enlargement, sperm production, potential mood swings, increased height, weight gain, oily skin, and increased sweating.
- Females: Estrogen and progesterone increase results in increased height, wider hips, deeper voice, oily skin/hair, hair growth, breast development, menstruation, and potential mood swings.
Consent
- Agreement for sexual activity. Age of consent is 16 years old, with exceptions. 14-15-year-olds can consent if the partner is less than 5 years older; 12-13-year-olds can consent if the partner is less than 2 years older.
- STI Prevention: Getting tested after interactions, correct condom use, and vaccination.
Ketamine
