Norovirus Outbreak at Bakery in Ohio and Food Safety Discussion

/in /by

Throughout this lesson we have been focused on food and food safety. You will be asked to discuss the concept of cottage foods and their relative safety or risk.

Step 01. In preparation for the discussion, I suggest you review the questions for discussion and attempt to answer them for yourself. As you read, you may also ask yourself new questions that you can later raise in the discussion.

Step 02. Please read the following guidelines on cottage foods and an article about a norovirus outbreak at a bakery in Ohio.

Cottage Food Guidelines IF THIS DOES NOT OPEN GO ( https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2017/08/ohio-doughn…)

Norovirus Outbreak IF THIS DOES NOT OPEN GO (https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2017/08/ohio-doughn…)

Step 03. Draft a substantive response to the question below. Your post should demonstrate an understanding of the questions posed and ethical issues raised. Use APA format to cite any references.

In this time of reducing regulatory burden on the public, this has been going on in Idaho for some 20 years, what are your feelings about the risk associated with cottage foods? Would you be willing to purchase such foods at the 8th street market?

Then fill out the Legislative Assignment.

As you have discovered through this course, nurses are influential members of the community and the political system. Therefore, for the purposes of this assignment you will identify a problem or concern in your community, organization, etc. that has the capacity to be legislated. You will conduct research and state a proposal. Through the legislative process, your proposal for the problem or concern may influence an idea for change into a law.

First, refer to the “How a Bill Becomes a Law” media.

Then, view the “Bill to Law Process” to watch the scenario.

After viewing the scenario, refer to the “Legislative Assignment.” You will need to save the document first in order to use it.

Submit the assignment to the instructor. You also reserve the right to submit your completed proposal to the respective government official. However, this is optional. If you select to submit your proposal as a part of the legislative process, refer to “Find Your Representative” or research the contact information on your own.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Ethical Dimensions of Research Studies

/in /by

This is a continuation of the Course Project presented in Week 2. Before you begin, review the Course Project Overview document located in the Week 2 Resources area.

The literature review is a critical piece in the research process because it helps a researcher determine what is currently known about a topic and identify gaps or further questions. Conducting a thorough literature review can be a time-consuming process, but the effort helps establish the foundation for everything that will follow. For this part of your Course Project, you will conduct a brief literature review to find information on the question you developed in Week 2. This will provide you with experience in searching databases and identifying applicable resources.

To prepare:

  • Review the information in Chapter 5 of the course text, focusing on the steps for conducting a literature review and for compiling your findings.
  • Using the question you selected in your Week 2 Project (Part 1 of the Course Project), locate 5 or more full-text research articles that are relevant to your PICOT question. Include at least 1 systematic review and 1 integrative review if possible. Use the search tools and techniques mentioned in your readings this week to enhance the comprehensiveness and objectivity of your review. You may gather these articles from any appropriate source, but make sure at least 3 of these articles are available as full-text versions through Walden Library’s databases.
  • Read through the articles carefully. Eliminate studies that are not appropriate and add others to your list as needed. Although you may include more, you are expected to include a minimum of five articles. Complete a literature review summary table using the Literature Review Summary Table Template located in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Prepare to summarize and synthesize the literature using the information on writing a literature review found in Chapter 5 of the course text.

To complete:

Write a 3- to 4-page literature review that includes the following:

  • A synthesis of what the studies reveal about the current state of knowledge on the question that you developed
    • Point out inconsistencies and contradictions in the literature and offer possible explanations for inconsistencies.
  • Preliminary conclusions on whether the evidence provides strong support for a change in practice or whether further research is needed to adequately address your inquiry
  • Your literature review summary table with all references formatted in correct APA style

Topic

  • Patient education technology

Course outcomes

1. Identify patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice.

2. Discuss the value of best evidence as a driving force to institute change in delivery of nursing care.

Directions

  1. You are to research, analyze, and write an APA-formatted scholarly paper about the topic that you have selected.
  2. Write an introduction that defines and describes the topic. Address what purpose the topic serves and how it impacts the delivery of healthcare in general and nursing care in particular. Keep in mind that APA guidelines state you are not to use the heading “Introduction,” but you should include it at the beginning of your paper.
  3. Search for scholarly sources and relevant websites. Include a minimum of two scholarly sources. The course textbook does not qualify as a scholarly source. Cite all sources in the body of the paper and include them in the References list following proper APA formatting.
  4. Provide one example of this topic. Describe the main features or aspects of the example with support from your sources.
  5. Describe an experience where the topic impacted you personally, either when you were receiving healthcare or when you were providing nursing care. Relate one positive aspect or one negative aspect of this experience and how it could have been improved.
  6. Write a conclusion that summarizes the topic, the purpose, and how your newfound insight will influence your nursing care.
  7. Use Microsoft Word to develop your paper. Use APA formatting. Refer to the Publication Manual of the APA, sixth edition.

Benchmark – Human Experience Across the Health-Illness Continuum

The benchmark assesses the following competency:

Benchmark: 5.1. Understand the human experience across the health-illness continuum.

Research the health-illness continuum and its relevance to patient care. In a 750-1,000 word paper, discuss the relevance of the continuum to patient care and present a perspective of your current state of health in relation to the wellness spectrum. Include the following:

  1. Examine the health-illness continuum and discuss why this perspective is important to consider in relation to health and the human experience when caring for patients.
  2. Reflect on your overall state of health. Discuss what behaviors support or detract from your health and well-being. Explain where you currently fall on the health-illness continuum.
  3. Discuss the options and resources available to you to help you move toward wellness on the health-illness spectrum. Describe how these would assist in moving you toward wellness (managing a chronic disease, recovering from an illness, self-actualization, etc.).

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

humanity response

Consider humanity as the ultimate predator. Many if not most of us,

particularly in the United States, are quite comfortable with the

harvesting of organisms like tuna, deer, ducks, or rabbits. Other

countries and cultures, however, value species that rarely, if ever,

find their way to the North American dinner plate. What are your

thoughts on the harvesting of organisms such as whales, dolphins, seals,

etc.? Is hunting the only major issue that might threaten the existence

of these organisms? Should we limit ourselves to eating only certain

organisms? Why, or why not? In what ways are you selective about the

foods you eat?
