comment and reply on the following two sources, 150 words for each.
1. Pregnant women require additional nutrients because they are also developing another human being within their body. They can no longer rely on the nutritional needs they had prior to becoming pregnant. These additional nutrients are crucial to fully developing the fetus and producing a healthy baby. Pregnant women should focus on eating a balanced diet that includes: whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat dairy, and healthy fats. They should also focus on eating additional iron, folic acid, and calcium on top of the recommended daily needs of a non-pregnant woman.
Hannah could develop anemia if she does not consume enough iron in her diet, this would lead to issues with clotting and other bloodborne issues. Anemia could also affect the baby negatively by causing bleeding issues at birth. Folic acid reduces the risk of birth defects that could affect the spinal cord. Without the addition of folic acid (which is prevalent in prenatal vitamins), a fetus can develop birth defects that range from being stillborn to having lifelong ailments. Gestational diabetes is also something that Hannah and the baby are at higher risk for if she continues having a poor diet.
I would recommend to Hannah that she focus on eating a healthier, more well-balanced diet throughout the day. This would include eating at least three full, balanced meals throughout the day, as well as healthy snacks between meals. She needs to realize she is no longer eating just for her and that the baby eats what she eats. So, although it won’t hurt much to eat a small bag of chips as a snack once in a while, she needs to adjust her diet to include more fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. She should also begin taking prenatal vitamins to assist in supplementing those additional nutrients she may be lacking at the moment.
2. Hannah’s breakfast consists of a coffee and a croissant. Although it is still okay to have caffeine in small doses while pregnant, this can still pose a future risk to her baby. “High levels of caffeine in pregnancy can result in babies having low birthweight, which can increase the risk of health problems in late life,” (NHS, 2018). Furthermore, in extreme cases, this may cause a miscarriage. Carrying on throughout the day, she often skips lunch or eats chips from the vending machine which is adding to the lack of nutrients for not just herself, but for her baby as well. Luckily, she ends up having a well-rounded dinner with her family.
Since Hannah is underweight, this can be very detrimental to her baby’s health. Two major risks would be: Premature Birth and Low Birth Weight. Premature birth is when the baby is born approximately a month before it reaches full term, or 40 weeks. The low birth weight is when the baby is roughly under five and a half pounds which can put the child “at risk for health and development problems as they get older,” (WomensHealth, 2018). Some nutritional recommendations would be to balance out her diet instead of only having 1/3 of a well balanced meal per day. Furthermore, choose foods that are high in Vitamin C & B6, Iron, Calcium, Folic Acid, Protein, Fiber, and Fatty Acids, because these nutrients, such as folic acid will create a “formation of baby’s spinal cord and brain systems, tissue growth, and cell division,” (Lamaze, 2020). Overall, when you are pregnant, you must be cognizant that you are providing nutrients to your baby, not just yourself, so be aware of what you should and shouldn’t be putting into your body.

define the nurse’s scope of practice as described by the ANA.

Question Description

For this discussion, you will define the nurse’s scope of practice as described by the ANA. You will also define the nurse’s scope of practice in your own state/country (OHIO). Next, you will explain a clinical scenario that demonstrates how you have applied this scope of practice successfully (from start to finish – a complete example for full credit). Finally, you will explain why all nurses should have a functional knowledge of their own nurse practice act.

Please organize your discussion board as follows:

Paragraph 1: Introduce your discussion board with a general statement about the discussion board, then a purpose statement. A purpose statement starts with: The purpose of this posting is to discuss . . . . then the key elements of what you are going to discuss. This paragraph should define the nurse’s scope of practice as defined by the American Nurses Association. This will cover the objective of: Define the nurse’s scope of practice as defined by the American Nurses Association.

Paragraph 2: You will also define the nurse’s scope of practice in your own state. This will vary between states. This will cover the objective of: Define the nurse’s scope of practice as defined by that nurse’s own state’s nursing law.

Paragraph 3: Next, you will explain a clinical scenario that demonstrates how you have applied this scope of practice successfully (from start to finish complete example). Finally, you will explain why all nurses should have a functional knowledge of their own nurse practice act. End the paragraph with a conclusion sentence or two that summarizes your thoughts.

Your initial post must be posted before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of two (2) references, in addition to examples from your personal experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it. Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes are allowed in the discussion board posts

Finally, address the following in regard to your chosen changes overall:

What message are you trying to convey? Highlight the main points you want to present. How do your personal choices affect environmental health?

For this assignment you will provide a detailed discussion of a theory of pop culture and provide critical discussion of this theory. The purpose of this assignment is to help you hone your critical thinking skills. You will provide exposition and criticism of a theory of pop culture. You may choose either Mass Cultural Theory or Critical Theory.
Your essay should include some discussion of the following questions:
1. What or who determines popular culture? Where does popular culture come from? Does it emerge from the people themselves as an autonomous expression of their interests and modes of experience, or is it imposed from above by those in positions of power as a type of social control?
2. Describe how commercialization and industrialization influences popular culture. Does reducing culture to commodity mean that the criteria of profitability and marketability take precedence over quality, artistry, integrity and intellectual challenge? Or does it result in a universal market where what is popular actually corresponds to what people want and think is valuable? Does marketability and profitability actually produce quality art or does it only benefit business interests?
3. Is popular culture used to control and indoctrinate the people? Is it used to get people to accept and adhere to ideas and values which will ensure the continued dominance of a particular elite and allow them to exercise power over them? Or is popular culture about rebellion and opposition to the prevailing social order? Is pop cultural a spontaneous genuine burst of creativity or is it just a means through which a dominate group exercises control of society?
