 What I Need to Know

Hello! my dear learners, welcome to ADM (Alternative Delivery Mode) learning

module. Are you excited and ready to learn? Let us go, but let me tell you that basically,
this is to cater your academic needs and facilitate your learning even if you are at
home during this pandemic. This also contains the competency of Explains the
guidelines and criteria in the selection and evaluation of health information,
products and services that you are going to master through the discussion and
activities provided. Along with this are the objectives that you are going to achieve as
you accomplish all the tasks.

In this module, you will learn to:

1. understand the guidelines and criteria in the selection and evaluation of
health information, products, and services.
2. demonstrate critical thinking and decision-making skills in the selection,
evaluation, and utilization of health information, products, and services.

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

1. differentiate reliable from unreliable health information, products, and services.

2. explain the guidelines and criteria in the selection and evaluation of health
information, products, and services; and
3. select health professionals, specialists, and healthcare services wisely.

Where did you last spend your money?

What item did you buy? Why?
What kind of service did you last avail?
Who recently shared with you a new health information?

These are only a few of the things that concern you as adolescents. Decision-making
is an important skill that you must learn in order to live a healthy and normal life. This
module will help you understand the basics of consumer health. Consumer health aims
to develop a person’s ability to evaluate and utilize health information, products, and
services wisely and effectively.

All of us are consumers. We acquire health information, purchase health products,

avail of health services to appraise, improve, and maintain our health. Health
information is any idea that we hear from people around us, read from books and other
printed materials, or from the media that influence our health. Health products are
items that we consume to improve our well-being, like medicine, food, clothes,

1
furniture, electronics, etc. Health services are programs we avail from various
providers such as physicians, nurses, therapists, health workers, hospitals, clinics, and
the government. Some examples of these health services are insurance, treatment
and cure, complementary and alternative medicine.

In this light, we must all be educated consumers who make wise selection of
information, products, and services that are scientifically proven and legally approved.
It is our duty to evaluate and examine the reliability of the sources.

Let us find out how we can be educated in consumer health.

Components of Consumer

What’s In

Good day. learners! I want you to look into the statement, “In order to have a
better future, start building it today.” How would you interpret It? This means that our
present connects to our past, and our life today depends on how we lived yesterday.
Before we begin, let’s go back to our previous lesson, so we can link it to discussion
today.

Activity 1. Read the situation and answer the questions.

A teenager once went to the local market to buy materials for a Science
project. Upon passing by some stalls, he was invited for a free orientation
on the latest product of a company. The company was selling “health rings”
that can detect the mood of a person and help lower body temperature and
blood pressure. The teenager was easily attracted, which made him buy two
health rings for himself and his sister. He spent Php 600 for the items.

After a week, the teenager and his teacher developed red spots and
rashes on their fingers. Upon checking, the rings are observed to have rust
around them. The teenager wants to file a complaint so the company may
return his money.

1. What is the nature of the teenager’s problem?

2. Who can help him with his problem?
3. What rights protect the teenager?
4. What would you ask yourself before buying a health product to avoid the
same experience?
5. As a Grade 10 student, how can you help the teenager?

Good job learners! I am glad that you can still rememeber the nature of
the teenager’s problem that Adolescence is the stage to determine your
identity,wherein identity means how a person sees himself in relation to his
world. The Adolescent learns to negotiate new responsibilities, evolving
relationships and a new sense of self. The process of the adolescent
development can become quite challenging and sometime overwhelming.
Now, let us proceesd.

 What is It

Mini lesson

People acquire health information and products from various sources like people,
media, and technology. It is important to identify the reliability of these sources.

Reliable sources of health information and products are licensed professionals

who took up specialized and intensive studies in the field. They are the ones who have
qualified educational background and can give scientific explanation to validate
information. We can also find reliable health information from health books, and
accredited online sources. On the other hand, unreliable sources of information and
products are those from people who are not experts in this field.

Aside from health information and products, people also avail of various health
services from different providers.

Health services are often connected to healthcare. These programs aim to appraise
the health conditions of individuals through screening and examinations, cure and treat
disorders, prevent and control the spread of diseases, provide safety, emergency care,
and first aid, ensure a follow-up program for individuals who have undergone
treatments.

Health services are usually offered by healthcare providers, “A healthcare provider is

a trained professional who provides people with healthcare” (Meeks, et al., 2011).
There are different types of healthcare providers, such as:

I. Health Professionals
Individuals who are licensed to practice medicine and other allied health
programs. An example of a health professional is a physician. A physician
records the medical history of individuals, provides diagnoses, performs
medical examinations, and prescribes medications. There are different
types of physicians based on their area of specialization.
II. Healthcare Facilities

Healthcare facilities are places or institutions that offer healthcare

services. There are different types of healthcare facilities (Meeks, et al.,2011).

7
 a. Hospital

It is an institution where people undergo medical diagnosis, care and

treatment. A hospital offers different types of medical care like inpatient and outpatient
care. Inpatient care refers to care given to individuals who need to stay inside the
hospital to receive proper treatment, monitoring and care. On the other hand,
outpatient care refers to treatment that does not require an individual to stay inside the
hospital.

There are different kinds of hospitals: private, voluntary, government, and

teaching (Meeks, et al., 2011). A private hospital is operated by individuals to gain
profit. A voluntary hospital does not require profit because it is owned by a community
or an organization. A government or public hospital is being run by the state and the
treatment fees are subsidized. A teaching hospital includes a school for medical
students.

In the Philippines, there are two classifications of hospitals: general and

specialty. General hospitals have complete medical, surgical, and maternal care
facilities. Some examples are the Philippine General Hospital, Baguio General
Hospital, Cebu General Hospital, and Davao Medical Center. On the other hand,
specialty hospitals handle a particular disease or condition or deal with only one type
of patient. Some examples are the Philippine Heart Center, Lung Center of the
Philippines, and National Kidney Transplant Institute.

b. Walk-in Surgery Center

It is a facility that offers surgery without the patient being admitted in the
hospital.

c. Health Center

The services in a health center cater to a specific population with various

health needs.

d. Extended Healthcare Facility

A facility that provides treatment, nursing care, and residential services to

patients, often the elderly.
