Need help with my Health & Medical question – I’m studying for my class.
Compare and contrast the three different levels of health promotion (primary, secondary, tertiary). Discuss how the levels of prevention help determine educational needs for a patient.
For this assignment, use a total of 10 to 12 peer-reviewed research articles regarding problem based learning, critical thinking, and or clinical decision making from the last five years to develop an initial synthesis of the related literature. Within this synthesis, be sure to include the following:
Determine the commonalities among the research articles by group. For example, did the researchers use similar theoretical frameworks, sample participants, or methodologies (e.g., procedures, instruments) to collect data? How were the results similar?
Determine the differences among the research articles by group. For example, did the researchers use different theoretical frameworks, sample participants, or methodologies (e.g., procedures, instruments) to collect data? How were the results different?
Determine reoccurring concepts/themes in the overall findings and conclusions, and state whether any of these were indicated to be in need of further inquiry.
Do not include book sources, secondary summary sources, or sources older than five years, unless the source is a peer-reviewed, original, seminal study essential for the foundational synthesis of the related research. Your literature review draft should provide an objective discussion and synthesis of the related concepts from the previous research findings, any identified contradictory concepts, and underlying related theoretical framework(s) supported by APA formatted reference citations.
The essay should analyze/interpret one poem. Identify a specific theme or aspect of the poem that interests you and compose a thesis about it. The paper should explain and develop your thesis using evidence from the poem. Please have a clear theme.At least 750 words.
Poem:
Those Winter Sundays———-Robert Hayden(1913-1980), 1962
Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blue black cold,
then with cracked hands that ached [img>
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze..no one ever thanked him.
When the rooms were warm,he’d call,
and slowly i would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house
Speaking indifferemtly to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did i know, what did i know
of love’s austere and lonely offices?
PS:It is very important. You must use any opinion of the following resource twice. And when you use it, please use another font.
In reading Robert Hayden’s poem “Those Winter Sundays,” one gets the feeling of the speaker’s finally having achieved enough distance from the subject of the poem to consider with equanimity what had to be a painful experience. But, of course, that painfulness is not the whole of it. The reminiscence, the conjuring up of the time that framed the reality of childhood for the speaker, is quivering with tension that is made evident in a number of ways, not the least of which is diction.
“Sundays too” the father “got up early,” the poet confides, and however the reader might feel in later lines about the coldness of the man, she or he has to deal with the fact that this man is not slothful. He got up early not only six days a week but “Sundays too…… The father performs a variety of services for the child: he reinvigorates the banked fire into a blaze to make the house warm for a rising that is not required before a modicum of comfort has been provided. And, not only did this father drive out the cold, but he polished a pair of “good shoes,” having provided, one must assume, at least another pair of shoes that are not so “good.”
But though the services that the father is rendering have all the potential for tenderness, there is a starkness that pervades the poem that is unaccountable. Why, for example, does it happen that “[n]o one ever thanked him”? Is the speaker in the poem an ungrateful child who takes the services of his father for granted? One slowly becomes aware that it is not only the child who does not thank the hardworking father. “No one ever” did. This then reflects on the person of the father. There must be something about the way or the reason why the father performs his parental chores that creates or requires the apparent numbness in the speaker, even over the distance of the years. The child is vaguely but certainly aware of the “angers of that house,” and there is fear that has to deal with an environment that does not clarify its monsters or restrain them to a proper time and place. Because the speaker in the poem does not know when the angers will erupt in the house, he is constantly in a state of terror that makes him speak “indifferently” to the father, even though that father has warmed the winter morning for the rising of his child. The warmth of the fire does not penetrate the atmosphere. Though the temperature in the house has apparently risen, there is still “blueblack cold” that must be dealt with.
The house is filled with “splintering,” “breaking.” The “angers” are not healthy, normal angers that scream from time to time and then are balanced by gentle tones and even healed with laughter. One is aware, though the words are not used, that the floors are constantly groaning and creaking with discontent and bitterness.
Reading Robert Hayden’s poem is somewhat like looking at an old photograph that is blurred, fuzzy, and darkened with time. At first glance, there are two figures only, but then as one continues to gaze, other forms or suggestions of forms emerge from the background, Where, for example, is the woman of the house? Why is there no one to minister in love or duty to those “cracked hands” that ache from working seven days a week? Are there other children in the house yet to be called to share the waking? What are the two people in the forefront of the “photo” rising to? It is Sunday morning and therefore suggests a time of worship and of rest, but there is a rigidity in the tone that emphasizes the same drabness, the same deep sadness that is apparently dealt with every day, Sunday no better or worse than Monday.
The last two lines of Hayden,, poem provide some relief from the weight of the preceding lines in one way and, in another way, seal in the great hurt of the recollection. It is a relief for the reader to know that the child of the poem has escaped the despondency of “Those Winter Sundays.” And, with the distance, there is at least some recognition of that confusion of the past as being touched with some tenderness that was then impossible to know clearly. The eye of the one who is remembering sees that time as “austere and lonely” still, but he also understands that the pathetic “offices” performed by an apparently wellmeaning father were, after all, informed by some kind of love remembered more than felt. Were the “banked fires” of these offices assumed on the death of the child’s mother or the desertion of a wife” For whichever reason, the ministrations of the father are performed like the recitation of a litany by one who has neither faith nor hope.
And the speaker, who now knows something of the awful precariousness of love, finds it in retrospect in the scenes of long ago-if not in presence then more poignantly in absence. But they are only that: scenes as in a photograph. There is no crossing over the years to rescue those “austere offices” or thank the man who labored in “the weekday weather.” So much that had the appearances of love, for some reason, now forever lost, tragically missed the substance that could have made “all the difference.” “Those Winter Sundays,” in that case, would have been lightened by a different glow.
The Effects of Business on Consumers and the Environment: Case Study: Perdue Farms
Discussion Title
|
Prepare: In preparation for your first post in this discussion, you will become familiar with the case of Perdue Farms by means of the material listed under Required Resources (Generally). You will also find more material under Required Resources (Per Subject Heading) because the specific task for this discussion is to examine this case with an eye for any one of the following four subject headings in business ethics: (1) the environment, (2) advertising, (3) consumer safety and (4) moral responsibility. You must select one of these subject headings and your selection will be the specific focus of your work for your discussion. Accordingly, you will be responsible to complete the readings and videos listed under your chosen subject heading. |
|
|
Reflect: If you choose the environment subject heading, reflect on the sheer density of chickens raised at any given time in the Perdue facilities. The disposal of their discarded remains and their processing for distribution, either individually and most definitely together, pose a number of environmental concerns. If you choose the advertising subject heading, reflect on how the two videos on Perdue farms present the sharp contrast between the way the company presents its product and the way in which it has been discovered to run its chicken farms. Consider whether this is an example of failure to provide truth in advertising and how you would support such a stance. If you choose the consumer safety subject heading, reflect on the way in which chickens raised in factory farms risks consumer safety. These might include (a) bacterial contamination, (b) the effects of antibiotics on the meat that is consumed, or (c) the release of adrenaline, cortisone, and other chemicals resulting from the acute stress endured by factory farm animals, which then becomes part of the meat that is later consumed by humans. If you choose the moral responsibility heading, reflect on the stewardship role that may fall upon humans toward non-human animals. Can we utilize them as mere means to an end (for entertainment, companionship, or food)? Or do we have special obligations toward them (e.g., not to mistreat or torture them and to slaughter them quickly and without stress) because they are sentient beings? Once you have completed the indicated readings and videos, reflect on the ethical theories that we have covered in the discussions thus far and identify one that you want to apply for your analysis in your discussion post. Also, reflect on the regulations (or lack thereof) in the factory farming industry in order to be able to examine how our nation’s laws affect the operations of the business. You will need to research the applicable laws on the factory farming industry. Finally, since Perdue Farms is an American corporation, reflect on the mixed economic system in the United States in order to articulate the setting for the operations of factory farming, and then, be able to analyze the ethical actions of Perdue given this setting. |
|
|
Write: In the first part of your initial post, you will need to introduce the Perdue case within the particular subject heading that you have chosen. In this introduction, you will also need to (1) articulate the relevant characteristics of our mixed economic system and (2) present the regulations for the factory farming industry. These will provide the setting for you to be able to examine how the nation’s laws affect its operations. In the second part of your initial post, present your analysis of the problem in a way that identifies which entities (Perdue as a corporation, the economic system in the USA, the regulatory control of the state, or all of these) have a role in the problem that you have presented. In your analysis, you must assess the negative effects of the interplay between business activity and one of the following: the environment, advertising, consumer safety, or corporate social responsibility. Your focus must be an ethical analysis of this interplay, and it must be well supported by reliable and/or scholarly sources by clearly identifying the ethical theory that you are applying in your analysis. |

Discuss from your nursing experience an intervention you used with a family using each of the 4 types of approaches:
1. Family as Context
** For the Approaches to Family Nursing Assignment, think of a time in your clinical practice or with your own particular family when one of the members of the family needed health care and other members of the family were involved in that person’s health care needs. Explain who the family member in need of health care was, what was the condition of the family member, health problem, and health care needs. What roles did each family member take in helping care for the individual family member?
2. Family as Client
An example of could be when a beloved matriarch of the family gets a grave diagnosis, the nurse would ask the patient how her family was dealing with the diagnosis? How are the members of your family adjusting to this news? Will the care you will need be a problem for your family?
**For the Approaches to Family Nursing Assignment, think of a time in your clinical practice or with your own particular family when one family member suffered from a health care problem and as a result other members of the family developed health care needs. Describe the health needs of all of the family members and the overall affects of the family members’ illness on the rest of the family.
3. Family as System
**For the Approaches to Family Nursing Assignment, describe how the family interacts with one another when one family member becomes ill. Describe the types of interactions that occur such as one family member is in denial, one family member is crying and panicking, one family member becomes the caregiver, and so forth. Base your answer on your practice or your personal experience.
4. Family as Component of Society
**For the Approaches to Family Nursing Assignment, describe how one family used a variety of community resources to help them care for a family member who has become ill or who has been diagnosed with a health care problem. What resources did the family use or seek? What were the results? How effective were the healthcare resources for the family and the ill family member? What problems were encountered when the family tried to obtain community resources?

Including introduction and conclusion
Five years ago, John L. Smith decided he wanted to start his own technology service business. He rented some office space, purchased some computer and network equipment, and installed a telecommunications circuit to the Internet. Almost immediately, he started to acquire customers who wanted him to host their business applications and for him to be responsible for the operational availability of the applications. In other words, John would provide the space, servers and local area network equipment, connectivity to the Internet, and an around-the-clock operational support staff. His customers would provide the business application software, and they would manage it remotely.
During the first 5 years, John’s business grew substantially. He had to relocate his offices three times, add computer and network equipment, increase the bandwidth and connectivity to the Internet, and hire numerous administrative and technical support staff.
As John needed to add computer hardware, he would negotiate with local retail stores and purchase the lowest cost equipment. If he needed additional communication services, he would go to the local telephone company to add the bandwidth and connectivity he believed he needed.
Starting his sixth year in business, John has over 30 major long-term contracts, a 20,000 square foot data center, over 400 servers; and 100 full-time employees. Additionally, he hosts 50 major business applications for his customers.
The organization configuration is fairly simple. John has set up an extremely flat organization in which the majority (approximately 80%) of the staff are technical or operations support (network, server, applications, operating systems, and database). Additionally, there is one contract, five helpdesk, one project manager, and five administrative support staff. John does all of the marketing and sales and personally negotiates each contract.
The cost structure is set up as follows:
Each month, hours are tabulated and additional costs are billed to each customer.
Over the past several years, John has been one of the few providers in this hosting business; however, competition is now starting to challenge his company from a cost, efficiency, quality, and the kinds of services provided. Additionally, existing customers are starting to complain about slow response times, degradation of services, poor quality, lack of communication, and rising costs. In the past, when a customer made a request, the organization has accommodated for that request. As of recently, John is taking responsibility for nearly half of the customer applications to include updates and changes.
A number of the customers have told John that they will have to reduce their effort with him if the service-related issues are not corrected. A couple of them have sent correspondence to John stating the following:
John is now beginning to wonder whether he should outsource or even offshore some of the functions and services he is offering to an organization that specializes more in a specific area. He has contacted a number of outsourcing organizations as well as an organization in India that might be able to run his service center help desk. The cost seems to be less expensive than what he is able to provide to his customers. Also, he thought it might be a good idea because he is starting to expand his company to global customers. He now has two smaller contracts with European customers, and this appears to be an area that is going to grow.
Your task starts with assisting Smith with an assessment of his current business situation. Then, you will assist him in developing an operations strategy that can be used to improve his operational performance and business profile. The overall goal of assisting Smith is to help him assess and determine how each of these areas impacts his business and recommend some solutions so he can optimize his operations and competitive profile.
Using the library, Internet, or any other resources as well as the operations strategy framework, explain how new additional services can be seamlessly integrated into Smith’s organization. Detail the steps required to move Smith from current state to your proposed future state.
Include the following in your answer:
Find a clear and arguable position on the health concerns that stem from Mi air problems such as,
Then…
find additional solution-focused texts and identify any potential counterarguments.
