Genetic and Environmental Specificity Article

Can you read this article and answer these question? Each answer should be 3-5 sentences.

1- As discussed in the “Genetic and Environmental Specificity” section, what could explain the fact that shared environmental influences do not have as much of an effect on the outcome as do non-shared environmental influences?

2- Were there any limitations in conducting this study? What were they? In your opinion, how could they have prevented those limitations?

3- Compare the experimental results and the expected results. What did the results of this study indicate?

4- By looking solely at figure 1, what can we conclude about the difference between males and females? How is this figure useful in understanding these differences?

5- In the present study, what are the researchers focusing on to specifically understand?

 

6- We know that this experiment consisted of two questionnaire booklets, assessing several components and given to the participants to fill out. What are some pros and cons that go along with completing an experiment this way? Explain your answer.

Step two: Write an abstract, the body of the paper and bibliography. The body of the paper should be a minimum of 5 pages, double spaced, APA format and not to exceed 6 pages.

I will be looking for a clear thesis statement and research that is both scholarly and relevant to the topic you have chosen.

(I have done step one which was to choose a topic and resources)

Patient Pancreatitis and Biliary Colic

QUESTION 1

  1. A 50-year-old man, who is a chronic alcoholic, presents to the emergency room with a sudden onset of abdominal pain that radiates to the back. A blood test reveals elevated serum pancreatic lipase levels and a CT abdomen suggests inflamed pancreas. Both of these findings together confirm the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. The patient was admitted and appropriately managed. The pain reduces over the next two days. On day 3, the patient reports worsening of pain, nausea, and vomiting. An emergency CT abdomen was ordered, and the images reveal a pseudocyst around the pancreas. A pancreatic pseudocyst is a cavity surrounding the pancreatic head filled with pancreatic enzymes and is a common complication following acute pancreatitis. In a few hours following the diagnosis, the patient’s symptoms worsen, develops a fever, hematemesis (blood vomiting), cold and clammy skin, multi-organ failure, and dies. As a physician, you think that the patient developed these complications and died because the pancreatic pseudocyst ruptured. Based on the knowledge learned in this course, provide an explanation as to why this rupture led to complications and death of the patient.

Clue: Think about what the functions of pancreatic enzymes are, and why these enzymes are secreted first in an inactive form and not directly in an active form.

Encouraging Breastfeeding

The CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) is committed to increasing breastfeeding rates throughout the United States and to promoting and supporting optimal breastfeeding practices toward the ultimate goal of improving the public’s health.

Discuss the CDC breastfeeding initiative and how you will support this when interacting with your pregnant and postpartum women in the primary care setting? How will you support the mom who decides to bottle feed instead?

Health Care Issues in Buddhism Essay

M5A1: ESSAY: ANALYSIS OF A RELIGIOUS/SPIRITUAL GROUP

For this assignment you are asked to analyze the beliefs of a specific religious or spiritual group. You are encouraged to choose any religious or spiritual group, other than your own, that is of interest to you. The focus of this assignment is to learn about religious beliefs as they relate to health and health care. Your goal is to research and write a paper that provides evidence-based information on what health professionals need to know about your chosen group in order to provide spiritually appropriate care to members of this group.

You will find many of this week’s assigned articles helpful in responding to these questions. You will also find information on the Internet or in the Excelsior College Library (Links to an external site.). Please keep in mind that Wikipedia and most other .com websites are not acceptable academic sources, and therefore are not acceptable to use in this paper.

You will first need to conduct some research.

  • Using the Excelsior Library, locate at least three (3) current, credible, peer reviewed articles to support your paper.
  • In addition to the 3 required articles, you may also include information from professional sources (e.g. professional organizations or government reports).

Motivation of Healthcare Employees

Imagine that you have been appointed the director of health at the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya—a for-profit hospital. The facility is also a referral hospital and receives severe cases of accidents and chronicle and communicable diseases, and it houses an HIV/AIDS ward. As you settle into your position, you realize that the employees always act scared as they approach their superiors. Some of the employees deliver files and leave your office in a hurry.

As you make your routine departmental visits, you realize that there are tensions between nurses and doctors, and there is a sentiment that the nurses tend to do the majority of the work within patient care but the doctors get all the credit. You realize that the employees are always looking forward to the end of their shifts when they can go home. Some employees even come back to work wearing the same unwashed clothes as the previous day. Too many employees are calling in sick, and many of them give weak reasons for their tardiness.

There is also a sense that employees and nurses dominate other employees in similar positions. In meetings and conference calls, some employees are quiet and never participate. You notice that people with families tend to gather and talk quietly on breaks. The new mothers working for the hospital have to use bathrooms to pump breast milk for their infants, and the refrigerators do not work well. Looking at the financial statements of the hospital, you realize that the hospital’s expenses are higher than the industry standard, and it makes losses year after year.

Note: You may create or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Health Disparities

Discussion 1 –

As you have read this week, there are a number of factors related to health inequality and disparities in the United States. The consequences of these are often demonstrated in the disparities in health outcomes found between racial and ethnic populations. Awareness and understanding of these disparities and their impact on the health of our population and our communities is critical for health care and human service professionals in the field.

  1. Find a peer reviewed journal article that addresses health disparities or disparities in health outcomes of a particular health condition/concern (i.e., obesity, breast cancer, high blood pressure, infant mortality, etc.). A quick search of the library databases using, for example, the keywords Health Disparities in Breast Cancer, will produce a wealth of information from which to choose your article.
  2. Second, in a post of a minimum of 150 words, give a brief overview of the article and discuss what you think the most important take home point is. Try to pinpoint the underlying causes of the disparity and how it is impacting the health of minority or vulnerable populations. Do NOT simply read and paste the abstract. Read the entire article as I may ask you specific questions about it in the forum.

Discussion 2 –

Please watch the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPVwgnp3dAc (video runs 3:24, opens in new tab)
before completing the discussion posting below.

Now that you have explored minority health issues/determinants throughout this module, in a post of a minimum of 150 words, reflect on the importance of cultural sensitivity and cultural competence for optimal health and human services outcomes in minority populations. Example: How do elements such as language, customs, dietary habits, cultural beliefs about health care/providers, etc. play a part in optimal outcomes?
