Poor Weather as a Factor

/in /by

The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and develop a health promotion that can be presented to caregivers.

Create a 10‐12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional slide for references at the end.

Include the following in your presentation:

  1. Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants.
  2. Create a health promotion plan that can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor and improve the overall health and well‐being of infants.
  3. Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants.
  4. Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence‐based research. At least three scholarly resources are required. Two of the three resources must be peer‐reviewed and no more than 6 years old.
  5. Provide readers with two community resources, a national resource, and a Web‐based resource. Include a brief description and contact information for each resource.
  6. In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored

Part I

Maintaining an internal balance within the body is known as homeostasis. How the body goes about regulating this equilibrium is through feedback mechanisms. There are both negative and positive feedback mechanisms. A negative feedback mechanism alters a system whereas a positive feedback mechanism strengthens a system. After you complete your unit reading, conduct some additional research on either a negative or positive feedback system that the body uses. Share this information with your fellow classmates and answer the following:

  • What feedback system did you choose and is it positive or negative?
  • What makes this mechanism important as the body tries to maintain homeostasis?

Then, later in the week, address the following.

Part II

Two women go to their doctor with suspected thyroid disorders to get their thyroid hormone levels tested via their blood serum. The results of those tests are the following:

– Patient 1 shows a low level of Thyroxine (T4) and a high level of TSH.

– Patient 2 shows a high level of Thyroxine (T4) and a low level of TSH.

Both patients are diagnosed with thyroid disorders. Based on these lab results, answer the following:

  • Briefly describe how the secretion of Thyroid hormones is controlled by a negative feedback system.
  • What is the diagnosis for Patient 1? What are the symptoms of this disorder?
  • What is the diagnosis for Patient 2? What are the symptoms of this disorder?

part 2 discussion questions

1.In 2009, environmental analyst Lester R. Brown estimated that reforesting the earth and restoring the earth’s degraded rangelands would cost about $15 billion a year. Suppose the United States, the world’s most affluent country, agreed to put up half of this money, at an average annual cost of $25 per American citizen. Would you support doing this? Explain. What other part or parts of the federal budget would you decrease to come up with these funds?

2.Suppose you live near a coastal area and a company wants to use a fairly large area of coastal marshland for an aquaculture operation. If you were an elected local official, would you support or oppose such a project? Explain. What safeguards or regulations would you impose on the operation?

Mental illness, health and medicine homework help

/in /by

As you no doubt gathered from the reading this week, there is no shortage of signs that indicate the pervasiveness of mental illness in our country. It could, perhaps, be argued that mental illness has become an epidemic in the U. S., thus suggesting that it is more common now than ever before. But, is it? Or, is it that our society has “medicalized” conditions/behaviors (i.e., anxiety, depression, stress, etc.) as a means to label behaviors and symptoms seen as outside the norm and justify the use of pharmaceuticals to control them?

In a post of 150-175 words share your thoughts on the questions posed above. If possible, support your points with evidence from the literature.

Week 1: Introduction to Evidence-based Practice

This week’s graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

  • CO 3: Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects. (PO 6)

CO 5: Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice. (POs 7 & 8)

We begin our journey into discovering the new world of research and evidence-based practice (EBP) by exploring our past. After completing the required readings and lesson, answer the following:

  • Explain how research has evolved since the Florence Nightingale era.
  • Discuss how research and EBP are different; include how you believe research supports EBP for nursing.

Describe one past/historical unethical breach of research conduct; then, share how you would ensure care of a study participant using one ethical or legal research consideration (guideline/principle).
