I was hesitant at first about how my WIC sessions were going, but now I feel very comfortable and I don't think I'm too behind. I completed the Commodities article that we will send out next friday for people to receive with their food. I wrote it on the new Dietary Guidelines and gave sodium levels for the general population as well as those at risk because older adults are the most common people receiving these commodities.
We have had some interesting patients including one 3 month old who was FTT. We had to refer him to Danville Peds for a quick appointment. It was really sad how small this baby was. I've learned the importance of regular and adequate sized feedings for infants through this situation. I do like the variety of patients in this rotation, it keeps things interesting.
The counselor forgot about our interview and she contacted me at the health department. So we wouldn't have to worry about that again, she decided that itd be best if I emailed her the questions. She was somewhat helpful along with the district nurse I met with Tuesday, but I'm looking forward to my other one with an Extension Agent.
