Do people choose their own health, particularly their own nutrition and physical activity?

Nursing homework help
Just like on the midterm, the way this final works is that I have provided you 5 questions, one per week’s topic. You need to answer the questions to the best of your ability. I will randomly be selecting 2 questions to grade, and then you will have the choice of which 3rd question you want me to review. After everyone has submitted their final exams (on Wednesday morning 8AM of Finals Week), you will be allowed to go into Moodle and select the question number you want me to grade.
Responses will be graded based on 3 things .
1) How thoroughly and thoughtfully you explained the answer.
2) How feasible and creative your response was in terms of solutions, or options for solving problems. 3) How cleanly written it is. Please no typos and no grammatical mistakes.
You must provide links for all of your sources if you reference anything besides your textbook. You all know what reliable sources are, so make sure anything you are referencing is from a reliable, credible source.
*Hint: Each response should probably be at least ½ a page if you are answering thoroughly. Less than ½ a page means you probably didn’t provide enough detail.
Week 6 question
Do people choose their own health, particularly their own nutrition and physical activity? Whether you think the answer is yes, no, or somewhere in between, make a case for your answer. Build your case referencing at least 4 different factors that influence health from Chapters 13,14, and 16. Be specific and think about psychosocial factors and policies, systems, and environmental factors that are relevant to your response.
Week 7 question
Where does the U.S. rank in terms for infant and maternal mortality? Thinking about these rankings, explain the quote “maternal child health is not a health problem, it is a social problem with health consequences.” What are some of the social and economic factors that influence women and children’s ability to be healthy? What are some things that can be done to improve the health of women and children? What we can learn from tobacco prevention efforts to improve maternal and child health? What specific strategies could we use from tobacco? Or, are there things we could learn from other countries?
Week 8 question
Explain, in your own words, what the 3 levels of prevention are. Pick a specific mental health or injury area and discuss how we could intervene at each of the three levels of prevention to improve health outcomes. How would the strategies need to be different for each of the different levels of prevention? What is at least 1 thing that you think we can do to reduce stigma surrounding mental health or surrounding seeking help for mental health issues?
Week 9 question
In your own words, explain the differences and the relationship between medical care and public health. Why are the two sometimes in conflict with each other? How could we change our current system (either the medical care system or the public health system) to improve health outcomes for everyone in our society (Please provide at least 2 specific examples of changes we could make)? Are there any potential unintended consequences of making these changes?
Week 10 question
Which is the fastest growing age group in U.S. society? What are the potential effects as this big group of people ages? What are some of the challenges we will be facing with the younger generations not being as healthy at an earlier age? Can our focus simply be on trying to help people live longer, or do we also need to be focusing on improving quality of life? What are some specific strategies we can implement to help people age healthily? How can we strengthen public health efforts in the future to support older people and society as a whole?
Extra credit:
Please pick one of the news stories below and answer the following questions about it.
1. How/why is this topic a public health issue?
2. Who is most affected by the issue?
3. What are the larger societal implications of the issue, and what happens if things don’t change?
4. What do you think are some of the upstream prevention strategies that we could be implementing to address this problem?

THE POLICY THAT IS OR WILL IMPACT CHANGE SHOULD BE RELATED TO THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OR NURSING SPECIFICALLY.
 NO COMMENTS
Baccalaureate nursing – healthcare writers onlyAPA format- if you’re able to write this paper well, and get me an A grade, I will use you for all future papers…and trust me, there will be a lot. price is negotiable.For this week’s assignment, you will prepare an annotated bibliography on a topic related to health care that is currently impacted by a policy change or potential policy change. The policy that is or will impact change should be related to the health care system or nursing specifically. Look for information that shows that the policy, in your opinion, improved or did not improve the health care system or nursing practice.Choose a Policy IssueReview the Unit 3 study activities to read a list of potential policy issues that will give you a foundation to help you determine which policy change you are interested in. Choose one issue to focus on. The area that you choose to focus on could include particular interests that would lead you to explore articles that look at legal, ethical, and regulatory process in health care or nursing practice.What Is an Annotated Bibliography?Use the four articles that you chose, keeping the following information in mind:A bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, et cetera) one has used for researching a topic. A bibliography usually just includes the bibliographic information (that is, the author, title, publisher, et cetera).An annotation is a summary or evaluation.Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes a summary or evaluation of each of the sources in the bibliography. For this assignment, you are expected to include both a summary andan evaluation.Your annotations should address the following three areas for EACH of the four articles you select:Summarize: What are the main arguments? What is the point of this article or chapter? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this source is about, what would you say?Evaluate: Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source? (Or the goal of the writer?)Reflect: How does the source assist or fit into your practice? Was this source helpful to you? How might this source help you shape an argument (in favor of or against) the topic presented? Has the source changed how you think about this topic?Assignment GradingBe sure to consult the scoring guide for this assignment to see how your work will be graded. Notice that you will be expected to apply APA writing style to write clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.

Nursing Engagement

Nursing Engagement

Rationale:
Nursing engagement is linked to critical safety, quality, and patient experience outcomes.Nurses and the medical profession must understand the intricacies of engagement to improve patient care and move the practice to higher levels of professional interaction.
Proposed Topic:
The proposed qualitativeresearch topic examines and analyzesemergency room nurseburnout and retention. Burnout is a problem in most professions.  This is especially true with the rigors of nursing.Career aspirations and dreams represent the motivation to enter the profession. These are present at the beginning of a career and present an anticipatory set of ideal working conditions.  The actual experiences of day-to-day working conditions, workload, expectations, treatment, management, and environment represent a reality which determines the level of possible burnout or satisfaction for the nurses. The relationship of anticipated aspirations and dreams versus experience can lead to exhaustion and burnout as described by Aiken, Clarke, Sloan, Sochalski, and Silber (2002).The study will sample 25 emergency room nurses with one to five years of experience, who will be administered a survey to collect data. The survey will have respondents answer Likert Scale items indicating the level of satisfaction with various aspects of their current position, along with their career dreams and aspirations at the beginning of their career. The survey will also ask respondents to respond to a series of items which will indicate levels of burnout and likelihood to be retained within the profession. In addition to the survey, ten separate nurses will be interviewed to better assess their engagement and opinions on the practice
Independent Variable-Career dreams/aspirations and job satisfaction elements
Dependent Variables- Level of burnout/engagement, and the likely retention of emergency room nurses.
Research Question:

  • What are the key differences between emergency room nurse career dreams/aspirations and their actual experience in the practice?
  • What are the key factors leading to emergency room nurse burnout and possible exit from the nursing practice?
