The USA is currently ranked among the countries with the high number of aging population in the world. However, the presence of aging population comes with consequences and a responsibility to the state and the society in entirety. Principally, the aging population is associated with myriads of limitations ranging from healthcare to the higher dependency level. Thus, the aging population does not command the power and energy to produce positively to the economy of a country. Ideally, the broader societal views have shaped the old age policies in the USA, and this becomes the backbone of the essay. Principally, ...

People have been displaced from the neighborhoods they have called home for numerous years, and the scenario has triggered discontent among affected communities. Schools and houses have also been demolished without any form of compensation. ...

I have learned that in the free market medicine, the price of healthcare goods and services is determined freely by the agreement between the patient and the medical providers and that there is no government intervention to control demand and supply of the healthcare goods and services. In particular, this has helped improve the efficiency in providing the healthcare services by reducing cases of mismanagement as observed in the government controlled healthcare services. Additionally, the free market medicine has helped reduce the waiting time, and therefore patients can see the medicine providers more frequently (Stossel, 2013). Currently, the free ...

Introduction

Maslow calls resilience “ordinary magic.” But in reality, there is nothing magic at all about resilience. Resilience is not even a natural human intact or behavior, it is one that is learned over time and influenced by one’s environment. People are not born naturally resilient. The behavior is an adaptation necessary from their surroundings as they grow and change. Simply, Resilience is a learned behavior.

Infants are not naturally resilient

Project 1: Evaluation Plan

Evaluation Method For a favorable assessment of this QI initiative, the quality control department proposes the utilization of the formative evaluation (FE) approach. There are four main types of FE analyses that can result in an exhaustive evaluation of this program, namely developmental, implementation, progress, and interpretive assessments. For instance, implementation-focused analysis evaluates differences between plan execution and implementation. Here, the sources of data include stakeholder interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and patient charts (McGowan, Cusack, & Poon, 2008). Contrarily, progress analysis concentrates on progress towards improvement and implementation at first intervention. The analysis considers clinical performance data on process ...

Public schools offer ideal settings for the dissemination of interventions designed to promote physical activity and life-long healthy eating. As such, schools are the only settings where the majority of children can access the opportunity of consuming healthful meals regularly, being physically active through extracurricular activities, and receiving education on healthy living. Nonetheless, many interventions have been ineffective because they often fail to incorporate environmental factors and system-wide policies that influence the ability of schools, families, and children to alter behavior (Coleman et al., 2012). Although recent investigations have made attempts to address the shortcoming, they have yielded mixed ...

Post-stroke dysphagia, a potentially fatal complication, affects an estimated 23-50% of all stroke survivors. It is associated with a seven fold increase in the risk for aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia increases the catabolic demands of the body and in the settings of impaired swallowing leads to a vicious cycle of malnutrition, dehydration, and further infections (Shaker & Geenen, 2011). Dysphagia affects a significant number of patients with hemispheric stroke which is the main subtype of ischemic stroke in the general population (Kumar et al., 2011). The functions of swallowing are subserved by a vast brain network. The inferior peri-rolandic sensorimotor ...

There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings.

Abstract

Some theories focus on explaining developmental changes that happen to humans. The Social Cognitive Theory represents one of the many theories of psychology that explain human behavior. The theory was introduced by Miller and Dollard in 1941 and later advanced by Bandura and Walters in 1963. The main concepts of the theory are personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Other concepts including self-control and efficacy, observational learning, and many others help in understanding the interaction between the environment, person, and behavior. On the other hand, the theory operates on five assumptions that relate the theory to learning, language self-control, and ...

Abstract

Introduction Nursing practice recognizes altruism through various interventions such as understanding different beliefs and cultures, advocating for vulnerable patients, taking risks on behalf of other workers and patients and mentoring other professionals. In altruism, interpersonal factors such as respect and compassion are considered virtues that cultivate a caring attitude towards others. As such, some people feel that altruism usually places heavy demands on the nurses’ self-sacrifice, thus overlooking the challenges that these nurses face while in practice especially with acute-care settings and psychiatric situations. In this regard, it means that master’s prepared nurses have a role to play ...

After Giving Birth

NR451 RN Capstone Course Term and Year After Giving Birth Even though postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of mortality after giving birth, most health care facilities do not have a standardized measures to assess blood volume loss and rely only on visual estimations for assessing and documenting blood loss. Consequently, blood loss below 250 mL tends to be overestimated, whereas blood loss above 2,000 mL tends to be underestimated (Bamberg et al., 2015). Inaccurate diagnosis of PPH delays treatment and increases mortality risk among intrapartum and postpartum women, so the purpose of the proposed nursing plan ...
