Rationale

Project PPE (Portfolio Predicate on Exemplar) is a backup contingency response

of the Schools Division of Surigao del Sur for learning delivery and learning
resource which parallel to the on-going endeavors of the higher offices in the
Department. It is the utilization of a lesson exemplar that is streamlined in a
teacher-and-learner-friendly format to cater to the new classroom setup in light
of the COVID-19 health crisis. These exemplars will be paired with a self-
contained and self-instructional portfolio.

The portfolio is a deliberate collection of works that highlight a learner’s effort

that would enable the him/her to see his/her growth and achievement, ability to
reflect on his/her own work and ability to establish goals for future learning.

Introductory Message

What is It

When you were a child, your parents, older siblings, relatives, and other
concerned adults made sure you ate the right food and had regular medical
checkups, immunizations, and other health care.

Now that you are already an adolescent, your personal health

becomes your responsibility also. One way to do this is to know your health
status so that you can take the necessary actions to improve your health
habits and practices. In case there is a sign of a medical problem, early
detection can help to prevent this from becoming serious that would need
appropriate treatment.

Monitoring health status can be done through regular health checkups

and screening tests appropriate for you. It is very important to know your
health status. For school age children and adolescents, the school health
personnel, such as the school physician, school nurse, school dentist, as well
as teachers and other school personnel perform checkups and screening
tests at the beginning and towards the end of the school year. This is part of
the school health service provided for students. Screening for blood pressure
is added to the routine tests for height, weight, vision, and hearing.
Immunizations are also updated.

7
 Adolescents who are experiencing growth spurts may also be
screened for possible scoliosis. Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine,
which causes pain and affects growth. Additional tests may be
recommended by your physician or health care provider as needed.

Evaluation of the results of checkups and screening tests is done by the

school health personnel. Students who may need health counselling, referral,
and follow up will be identified and guided for proper action.

As an adolescent, you should always remember that you are also

responsible for your own health. Monitor your body for changes that may
need medical check up. This is often referred to as part of self- care. For girls,
it is recommended to check your breasts for possible masses or lumps the
moment you start menstruating. You should do this monthly, specifically one
week after the onset of menstruation. You can do this while taking a shower
or facing the mirror. This breast self-examination (BSE) can help females check
any
abnormalities that might need medical help. Remember, there are normal
changes during and right before menstruation so it is better to perform BSE
after menstruation. Develop the habit of doing BSE monthly.

How to examine your breasts

1. Lie down on your back and place your right arm behind your head.
Use the finger pads of the middle fingers on your left hand to feel for
lumps in the right breast. Use overlapping dime-sized circular motions
of the fingers pads to feel the breast tissue.

2. Move around the breast in an up and down pattern starting at an

imaginary line drawn straight down your side from the underarm and
moving across the breast to the middle of the chest bone (sternum or
breastbone).

3. Repeat examination on your left breast, putting your left arm behind
your head and using the finger pads of your hand to do the same.

4. While standing in front of a mirror with your hands pressing firmly down
on your hips, look at your breasts for any changes of size, shape,
contour, or dimpling, or redness of the nipple or breast skin.

Scoliosis Screening
Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves to the side. It is an
abnormal lateral or side-to-side curvature of the spine. This condition
commonly develops during growth spurt of adolescents. It affects girls more
often. This condition can be corrected if treated early before the bones have
fully developed.

The following signs should be referred to a doctor for treatment.

 One of the shoulder blades is more prominent.

 The head is not aligned to the center of the pelvis.
 A hip appears higher or is more prominent than the other.
 The rib cage is uneven.
 The waist is uneven.
 The entire body is leaning to one side.

In the school, your school nurse or your health teacher can do the
scoliosis screening test. During the test, the school nurse will observe your
posture for signs of scoliosis. Early detection can prevent scoliosis from
progressing.

Screening Procedure

Forward Bend Test:

1. Stand facing away from the screener.

2. Bend forward at the waist 90 degrees, feet 10 cm apart, knees
straight, and feet parallel to each other.
3. Palms of the hands are facing each other and arms hang down, and
are relaxed. The head is down.

It is normal if the screener observes the following:

 Both sides of upper and lower back are symmetrical.

 Hips level and symmetrical.

There is possible scoliosis if the screener observes the following:

 One side of rib cage and/or the lower back showing

uneven symmetry.
 Curve in the alignment of the spine.

It is very important that you are aware of any change in your body.
Any deviation from the normal must be reported to your parents so that you
can seek medical advice. You can go to your school clinic to seek advice
from the health personnel there. Your teachers can also help you. Don’t wait
for your health problem to get worse. You have to act now.

Remember that the school health personnel, so with your barangay

health personnel, are there to help maintain the health of the
students/people in the school or community. Avail of any health service they
offer.
