poems about roses

After reading Chapters 15-17, respond to the prompt below:

Prompt: Consider the poems about roses (pages 887-889), and write a paragraph about each poem showing how it establishes specific symbolism for the rose. What generalizations can you draw about the rose’s traditional meanings in poetry? If you can, find other poems about roses outside of this textbook to determine if your generalizations still apply.

Your postings will be reviewed according to the following criteria:

  • Writing well-developed paragraphs relevant to the prompt(s) (minimum 300 words).
  • Be sure that your thesis is explicit and supported with one to two quotations from the literature.
  • Do not write in the first or second person.
  • Replying to two of your classmates with meaningful responses with a minimum of 30 words (do not simply write “I agree. I like what you’ve written.”)
  • Following the rules of Standard English. Please proofread your writing before clicking the ‘submit’ button!
  • When you include a quotation from the literature in your mini-essay, please place an in-text citation (also called a parenthetical citation) immediately after you close the quotation marks and before you place a period at the end of your sentence. That way, anyone in the class (including me!) can easily find the quotation in the literature if necessary. If you’re not sure what to place inside the parentheses, there is instruction in the textbook in Chapter 34- Quotation, Citation, and Documentation.
  • When you include in-text citations, there must be a Works Cited listing at the bottom of your post.
  • Be sure to follow the “Quote Sandwich” when you insert quotations.

 

Dorothy Parker:
“One Perfect Rose”

A single flow’r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet–
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
“My fragile leaves,” it said, “his heart enclose.”
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it’s always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

 

The Sick Rose

BY WILLIAM BLAKEO Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

EPIC POEM – “Epic Of Gilgamesh

/in /by

Reading literature, and especially epic literature, is like looking through a window at the culture from which it emerged. Based on your reading of this ancient text, write an essay in which you discuss what The Epic of Gilgamesh reveals about the values – the moral ideas and standards of behavior – of ancient Sumerians. What ideas were important to the Sumerians?  did they expect of their rulers? values did they want their heroes to embody? What kind of gods did they have faith in? Use specific examples from the epic to support your argument.

Please write about 2-3 double-spaced pages (no less, no more, unless you would like to write more).

SUBMIT AS A REGULAR ASSIGNMENT. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT WRITE OR PASTE ON COMMENT-COLUMN. SUBMIT AS ATTACHMENT.

This assignment requires you to be particularly observant of the values of the world of Gilgamesh. This entails characteristics of human behavior as manifested in the characters’ decisions, actions and interactions. The introduction to the Epic in your book would be of great help to you, as much as the notes and video(s) you have received.

Part of this assignment is also to answer questions relevant to our course and the first epic you are reading, such as,

-What does it mean to be ancient? To be epic? To be distant from our time?

-What does it mean to be a man or a woman in the civilization of ancient Sumeria?

-To be mortal or immortal?

-How is gender perceived in that culture?

-How do people live, love and fight?

-What do their cities and homes look like?

-Which are the Sumerians’ eating habits?

-How do they dress?

-How do they worship?

-Are there temples of worship?

-What is the religion of the Sumerians and how is it manifested in the epic?

-Do they believe in dreams and their interpretations (oneiromancy)?

-Do they believe in friendship?

All the above are crucial questions whose answers reveal the complex identity of the Sumerian culture, as much as any culture. Be curious and investigative. You don’t have to answer all of the above questions. These are examples that will help you direct your interest and curiosity. Choose a few and follow the traces that will lead to the discussion of your topic

.

All observations are to be drawn from the poem, the introduction by Sandars, the various notes/essays and the video you have received. Please do not use random online references (spark notes, Wikipedia etc.) that will render your analysis off topic. This is not a social science course. All your conclusions about the Sumerian civilization should be drawn from your knowledge of the Epic of Gilgamesh and the related readings about it.

You may, of course, look up your own sources, but make sure your analysis remains within the context of the epic poem and you don’t generalize or fall into the trap of synopsizing the story of the poem. This paper is NOT about the story of King Gilgamesh, but rather about the people he is ruling -who are they and what kind of an impression do we get of them through this poem?

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Patient Safety Indicators

/in /by

POST 1

JELDA

According to (Cange, 2016), 1 out of 10 US hospital patients contract an infection during their hospital stay, resulting in thousands of unnecessary deaths and billions of dollars in unnecessary costs. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) uses two domains to measure the incidence of conditions for this program—the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Patient Safety Indicators (PSI-90) (Domain 1) and the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) hospital-associated infection measures (Domain 2) (Sheetz & Ryan, 2020). Domain 2 constitutes 85% of the total score used to levy financial penalties against hospitals (Sheetz & Ryan, 2020). The PSI-90 composite is derived from Medicare claims; the NHSN measures are derived from an electronic registry managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Sheetz & Ryan, 2020).

Almost all hospital acquired infections (HAI) are preventable, which is why CMS no longer reimburse hospitals for the costs to treat HAIs (Cange, 2016). These infections result in 100,000 deaths per year, making HAIs one of the top five causes of death in the United States. HAIs also cost US hospitals between $28 billion and $45 billion per year to treat (Cange, 2016). In 2016, not all hospitals were required to report HAIs, and some were excluded due to not performing the specific procedure that led to an HAI (Cange, 2016). These omissions limit the quantity and the completeness of the data, requiring researchers to make assumptions about HAI incidence which in turn continues to negatively impact the quality of patient outcomes (Cange, 2016).

Under the CMS reimbursement policy, eleven preventable adverse outcomes were identified: foreign objects retained after surgery, air embolism, blood incompatibility, stages III and IV pressure ulcers, falls and trauma, manifestations of poor glycemic control, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, vascular catheter-associated infections, surgical site infections, deep vein thrombosis, and iatrogenic pneumothorax with venous catheterization (Bae, 2016).

Of these 11 patient outcomes, four (severe pressure ulcers, falls and trauma, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and vascular catheter-associated infections) are considered nursing-sensitive quality outcomes that can be decreased with greater and better nursing care (Bae, 2016). Health care facilities are expected to make appropriate changes in patient care to improve these outcomes (Bae, 2016). Quality improvement initiatives can focus, for example, on patient safety or on care processes, and working conditions can be improved (Bae, 2016).

Measures of Quality

Quality health care is a high priority for the President, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2021). CMS implements quality initiatives to assure quality health care for Medicare Beneficiaries through accountability and public disclosure (CMS, 2021). CMS uses quality measures in its various quality initiatives that include quality improvement, pay for reporting, and public reporting (CMS, 2021).

Quality measures are tools that help us measure or quantify health care processes, outcomes, patient perceptions, and organizational structure and/or systems that are associated with the ability to provide high-quality health care and/or that relate to one or more quality goals for health care (CMS, 2021). These goals include: effective, safe, efficient, patient-centered, equitable, and timely care and CMS uses quality measures in its quality improvement, public reporting, and pay-for-reporting programs for specific health care providers (CMS, 2021). Data on quality measures are collected or reported in a variety of ways, such as claims, assessment instruments, chart abstraction, registries (CMS, 2021).

Patient Falls

A basic principle of quality measurement is: if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it (Johnson & Magnan, 2019). Therefore, fall rates and fall prevention practices must be counted and tracked as one component of a quality improvement program. By tracking performance, then care improvement will show, staying the same, or worsening in response to efforts to change practice and continued monitoring will help understand where the starting point is from and whether improvement gains are being sustained (Johnson & Magnan, 2019). Fall and fall-related injury rates are the most direct measure of success in making patients safer related to falls. If rates are improving, then you are likely doing a good job in preventing falls and fall-related injuries (Johnson & Magnan, 2019). Conversely, if the fall and fall-related injury rates are getting worse, then there might be areas in which care can be improved znd you can use these data to make a case for initiating a quality improvement effort and monitoring progress to sustain your improvements (Johnson & Magnan, 2019).

The Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program is a Medicare pay-for-performance program that supports the CMS effort to link Medicare payments to health care quality in the inpatient hospital setting to encourage eligible hospitals to reduce HACs (Johnson & Magnan, 2019). Section 1886(p) of the Social Security Act established the statutory requirements for the HAC Reduction Program. The HAC Reduction Program is a Medicare value-based purchasing program that reduces payments to hospital based on how they perform on measures of hospital-acquired conditions (CMS, 2021). The program supports CMS’s long-standing effort to link Medicare payments to health care quality in the inpatient hospital setting (CMS, 2021). This measure affects my organization from the falls with hip fracture issue and also readmissions for fall related injury readmissions (Singh et al., 2019).

How Do These Standards and Regulations Influence or Support Ethical Principles, and Influence Patient Care and Nursing Practice?

CMS’s new comprehensive initiative “Meaningful Measures” was launched in 2017 and identifies high priority areas for quality measurement and improvement. Its purpose is to improve outcomes for patients, their families and providers while also reducing burden on clinicians and providers (Hickey, & Giardino, 2019).  Although the original Meaningful Measures initiative accomplished its initial goals, its scope and purpose have evolved to keep pace with a rapidly changing health care environment  (Hickey, & Giardino, 2019). With Meaningful Measures 2.0, CMS will not only continue to reduce the number of measures in its programs but will further shape the entire ecosystem of quality measures that drive value-based care (Hickey, & Giardino, 2019). Meaningful Measures 2.0 will promote innovation and modernization of all aspects of quality, addressing a wide variety of settings, stakeholders, and measurement requirements (Hickey, & Giardino, 2019). Commit to a patient centered approach in quality measure and value-based incentives programs to ensure that quality and safety measures address health care equity is an objective of Meaningful Measures 2.0  (Hickey, & Giardino, 2019).

Observational Study Designs

Observational studies measure the patterns of disease exposure in a population to draw inferences about the etiology. Observational studies can be descriptive or analytic, descriptive studies include case reports and cross-sectional surveys that are used to depict an individual’s health characteristics. Analytic studies include case-control studies and cohort studies, they are used to test etiologic hypotheses (Friis, and Sellers, 2021).

Association Between the Risk Factor and Health Outcome

High blood Cholesterol and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

CAD is a major cause of disability and premature death throughout the world. The underlying pathology of atherosclerosis develops over many years and is usually advanced by the time symptoms occur, generally in middle age. The risk of developing CAD increases with age and includes age >45 years in men and >55 years in women (Hajar,2017).

The prevalence of heart failure is increasing in the aging population, and heart failure is a disease with large morbidity and mortality. When there is too much cholesterol in the blood, it builds up in the walls of the arteries, causing a process called atherosclerosis, a form of heart disease. The arteries become narrowed and blood flow to the heart muscle is slowed down or blocked. The build-up of cholesterol causes lumps of hard fat called plaque to form on the artery walls. These can break off, block the artery, and cause heart attacks and strokes (Gidding, and Allen,2019).

According to (Varbo, and Nordestgaard, 2018), The association between the risk factor and the disease outcome is that high concentrations of nonfasting triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are associated with higher risk of heart failure in the general population.

Cohort Study

A cohort study looks at 2 or more groups of people that have a different attribute (for example, some with high cholesterol and some do not) to try to understand how the specific attribute affects an outcome (CAD). The goal is to understand the relationship between one group’s shared attribute (in this case, high cholesterol) and its eventual outcome. Cohort studies helps to advance medical knowledge and practice by enabling researchers to get a better understanding of the risk factors that increase a person’s chances of getting a particular disease.

Strengths of Cohort Study for Addressing CAD

Using a cohort study for this health issue will help to identify the overall cumulative incidence of CAD in the population as disease outcomes of CAD like stroke, and peripheral arterial disease can be traced from the baseline of the study to a stipulated follow-up period (Al Rawahi et al., 2017).

cohort studies help researchers calculate the incidence rate, cumulative incidence, relative risk, and hazard ratio of health conditions.

cohort studies allow researchers to observe and track multiple outcomes from the same exposure.

Cohort studies allows researchers to measure the variables and the participants’ health outcomes with relative accuracy.

Limitations

Cohort studies can last for years and the cost of running the study can add up.

There is potential for biases.

Participants may drop out due to lengthy time commitments which increases the risk for bias.

Lessons from Selected Study Design That Might Lead to Improvements in Population Health with Evidence from the Literature.

Evidence from Editors, (2020) suggests that cohort study design might lead to improvements in population health because through a cohort study, a researcher might identify  subjects at a point in time when they do not have the outcome of interest which later, can be compared to the incidence of the outcome as cohort studies can collect data on people that covers a long period of time which can be used to investigate the causes of disease and to establish links between risk factors and health outcomes.

Identify the association between the risk factor and health outcome you selected, and suggest which observational study design you feel is most appropriate for examining that association.

Risk factors are identified as that which raises a person’s risk of contracting diseases. On the other hand, health outcomes are improvements in the wellbeing of certain healthcare investments or interventions. Some of the risk factors associated with depression and anxiety include; trauma, use of drugs and alcohol, stress buildup, other mental health disorders, inheritance from relatives, and stress due to an illness.

Health outcomes that may result from this include; one suffers the risk of heart attacks, insomnia, feeling of sadness, and memory issues. The association between the two is that the risk factors lead to health outcomes. One develops depression and anxiety only after the risk factors are experienced in their body (Mayo Clinic, 2021). The observational study design that I feel is most appropriate for association examination is retrospective design.

Support your selection of the observational design, noting its strengths and limitations for addressing the health problem.

The researcher can establish hypotheses regarding possible links between a result and exposures using a retrospective research design and test those hypotheses deeper in the retrospective study design. Some several strengths and weaknesses result from using the study design; these studies are less expensive to perform. All that one requires is to identify the risk factors associated with depression, and later one can identify the possible depression health outcomes. A limitation is that the exposure factor is difficult to regulate (Talari & Goyal, 2020).

What might you be able to learn by using your selected study design that might lead to improvements in population health? Support your response with evidence from the literature.

Using retrospective study, I might learn that I ought to use patients’ medical records, interview the patients if possible, and use administrative databases. This will enable me to cause depression and anxiety among patients and get clear information of the health outcomes evident in a patient and the appropriate medication required (Ranganathan & Aggarwal, 2018). I also learned that retrospective study is a study of choice and is mainly used to examine a rare outcome among depression and anxiety patients.

Planning Trust And Assets

/in /by

Please answer each question in 1-2 paragraphs. Please make sure to explain your answers and please cite with USA applicable authority for all assertions of law that you make.

Teri is a single widow, age 78, living in the hypothetical American state of New Worcester. Teri purchased a a house in New Worcester in 1967 for $28,000. The current fair market value of the house is $385,000. Teri has four children: Alan, Beth, Cathy and Don. All four are adults and all four have children of their own. However, Don has been having marital troubles and is contemplating divorce. Beth is estranged from one of her adult children, Bertha.

Teri is in relatively good health, but suffers from hypertension and mild heart disease. She is on medication and is being treated for both. Mentally, she is sharp and astute.

Aside from the house, Teri has about $200,000 in cash and securities in savings and a 401(k) account with a current balance of $225,000. She is taking annual minimum required distributions from that account. In addition, she receives $1,800 per month in social security benefits.

She is primarily concerned with Medicaid planning as she doesn’t want to lose her assets if forced to go to a nursing home eventually. Your supervising attorney decides to recommend that Teri set up an irrevocable Medicaid planning trust and to transfer some or all of her assets to that trust.

During the course of the meeting and subsequent discussions, the following questions come up:

1) How much of a taxable capital gain would Teri have to report if she sold the house tomorrow for fair market value?

2) If the house is transferred to the Medicaid trust, what should the trust do to ensure the best capital gains tax treatment of the house?

3) What should the trust do to ensure that Bertha and Don’s soon-to-be-ex spouse do not have access to the trust funds?

4) Should the 401(k) assets be transferred to the trust? Explain.

5) What kind of rights or powers can or should the trust safely give to Teri?

6) The state of New Worcester has an income limit of $1,000/month to be eligible for Medicaid. Is there anything that can be done to protect the excess social security payments from being subject to spend down requirements?

applicability of criminology and victimology to the real world of criminal investigations

instructions

In Unit III, you will be tasked with completing a research paper that will provide insight into the applicability of criminology and victimology to the real world of criminal investigations. In addition, this will assist you to incorporate information and strategies provided through empirical research from previous criminology and victimology studies that contribute to the disciplines of criminal and victim profiling, which is not to be confused with racial profiling.

Criminal and victim profiling relates to the application of scientific data to a specific investigation relating to the actions or lack of actions that created the elements of the crime. Also, it contributes to the offense by the offender and the victim that directly relates to the lifestyle of each, which helps the investigator locate and identify the offender(s), as well as develop probable cause for the crime relating to the victim and the offender. It also provides research concerning the use of these two disciplines to enable law enforcement to develop criminal profiling and victim profiling strategies and techniques, and how these methods are employed in solving crimes.

For this Unit I assignment requirement, you should:

submit a topic for your Unit III Research Paper based on criminology versus victimology or a victimology aspect for approval by your instructor;
include three sources that will be used for researching the Unit III Research Paper; and
provide a description of your topic and a focus of your paper in the form of an abstract (at least 150 words).
Your topic may change because your topic and sources will need approval by your instructor. Please contact your instructor if you have any questions or concerns.

The research paper topic assignment should be at least one page in length. Please submit your research paper topic, abstract, and reference section to your instructor as a single document. The reference section must be listed in APA format according to the APA style guide, but this assignment does not require a cover page.
