“But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” – James Madison
On September 17, 1787, 39 of the 55 delegates from 12 of the 13 states signed the newly crafted U.S. Constitution in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, PA. (OConnor & Sabato, 2019) The new U.S. Constitution was approved by the United States’ current government, the Congress of the Confederation and a resolution was sent to all 13 states that sought ratification of the Constitution: Article VII: “The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.” (U.S. Constitution, Article VII)
Now, it was up to the individual states to either ratify or not ratify the new Constitution.
As each of the thirteen colonial legislatures sought to ratify the U.S. Constitution, newspapers published the U.S. Constitution so that “we the people” could understand and debate the new, governmental document. During the fall of 1787 and into the summer of 1788, newspapers published hundreds of letters to the editor penned by individual citizens that argued for and against ratification.
Additionally, the debate over ratification saw the emergence of two, opposed political parties composed of this nation’s founding fathers: the Federalists and Antifederalists. The Federalists advocated for the adoption of the new Constitution, and the Anti-Federalists opposed it. Members from both parties produced newspaper articles that explained their ideological rationale for or against ratification.
More information regarding the Federalist v Anti-Federalist debate can be found in the National Constitution Center and the U.S. Archives.
In this assignment, you will examine and explain how the Federalist and Anti-Federalist plans shaped the U.S. Constitution.

Main Post
The purpose of this paper is to explore coronary artery disease (CAD), the roles of hypertension and dyslipidemia affect CAD, and exploring if genetics is a factor in CAD. The progression of CAD can lead to myocardial ischemia, infarction, and even death if left untreated. Heart disease remains the number one cause of death in the United States, and understanding these factors plays a continued role in developing strategies, both preventive and treatment efforts.
Coronary Artery Disease
CAD is normally the result of atherosclerosis, the build-up of plaque due to damaged endothelium that allows fat to accumulate and decrease the diameter of the vessel. The decrease in vessel size allows for blockage and decreased blood flow to the coronary vessel; this leads to ischemia, where the cells are deprived of blood and begin the process of dying if left untreated. Persistent ischemia or the complete occlusion of a coronary artery causes the acute coronary syndromes, including infarction, or irreversible myocardial damage (Huether & McCance, 2017). Also, known as a heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI). Fortunately, the incidence and mortality statistics for CAD have been decreasing over the past 15 years because of more aggressive recognition, prevention, and treatment (Huether & McCance, 2017).
Hypertension’s Role in Coronary Artery Disease
Hypertension is a consistent elevation of systemic arterial blood pressure (Huether & McCance, 2017). Fortunately, hypertension a key factor in CAD is modifiable and can be monitored closely to prevent further disease progression. Hypertension is common; it ranks as the number one primary diagnosis in America. Pathophysiological mechanisms of blood pressure as a risk factor for CAD are complex and include the influence of blood pressure as a physical force on the development of the atherosclerotic plaque, and the relationship between pulsatile hemodynamics/arterial stiffness and coronary perfusion (Weber et al., 2016). The presence of hypertension further increases the risk of CAD and may explain why some individuals are more predisposed than others to developing coronary events (Rosendorff et al., 2015). Pathophysiological mechanisms of blood pressure as a risk factor for CAD are complex and include the influence of blood pressure as a physical force on the development of the atherosclerotic plaque, and the relationship between pulsatile hemodynamics/arterial stiffness and coronary perfusion (Weber et al., 2016). Hypertension, when diagnosed early, can be treated accordingly, decreasing the opportunity for the role of exacerbation of CAD.
Dyslipidemia’s Role in Coronary Artery Disease
Huether & McCance (2017) define dyslipidemia as an abnormal concentration of serum lipoproteins, the result of genetic and dietary factors. The hardening aspect of this disease is the result of cholesterol deposits in the vessel, which decrease elasticity and make the vessel wall stiff (Marsh & Rizzo, 2019). The elevation of lipoproteins creates a narrowing of the vessel diameter, which in turn decreases blood flow to arteries. When dyslipidemia occurs in the coronary arteries, the decreased blood flow can lead to ischemia or infarct, depending on the size of the blockage. Controlling the progression of the disease is important, modifying lifestyle habits; diet and physical activity can help to prevent further complications. Medications are also available to keep lipid levels balanced.
Genetics Affects of Risk Factors in Coronary Artery Disease
Dyslipidemia is known as a heritable risk factor for CAD; patients with a family history should inform their practitioner to manage the disease process in the early state. Plasma lipids and lipoproteins are heritable risk factors for CAD, with heritability estimates ranging from 40% to 60% (Tada, Kawashiri, & Yamagishi, 2017). The best treatment is prevention, knowing a patient’s family history is paramount in controlling the lipid levels and keeping them at rates that will prevent CAD. Monitoring labs and dietary modifications assist those with family history and can avoid the progression of CAD.
Conclusion
Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of premature death world-wide with factors like abdominal obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia being central risk factors in the etiology (Lidin, Hellénius, Rydell-Karlsson, & Ekblom-Bak, 2018). Hypertension and dyslipidemia both can accelerate the development of CAD. Fortunately, both factors are modifiable and are manageable by lifestyle modifications. Genetics plays a role in both hypertension and dyslipidemia; obtaining an accurate family history allows for early monitoring and controlling the modifiable factors, diet, and physical activity can keep both hypertension and dyslipidemia well controlled.

The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2019 is a bipartisan, bicameral bill introduced in the 116th Congress for the fourth time in the last 7 years. This bill would amend the Social Security Act to enable the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to enhance beneficiary access to the most qualified existing Medicare providers of intensive behavioral therapy for obesity (IBT), resulting in decreased health care costs and lower obesity rates among older adults.
Our nation is paying the price for overlooking the importance of food and nutrition-related diseases. Obesity accounts for 21% of total national health care spending, summing to as much as $210 billion annually. Medicare and Medicaid patients with obesity cost the government $61.8 billion per year; eradicating obesity would result in an 8.5% savings in Medicare spending (Finkelstein 2009). Obesity places an enormous financial burden on American families, our economy, and our nation’s healthcare system.
The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act offers clinically and cost-effective solutions to the obesity epidemic by ensuring that Medicare patients have access to the best possible care at only a fraction of the cost. The bill removes unnecessary barriers, which would allow a variety of qualified practitioners, such as registered dietitians, to effectively treat obesity through intensive behavioral therapy (IBT). The bill also authorizes coverage for FDA-approved weight loss medications that complement IBT.

- professor page:Having spent the last decade and a half teaching in a Nursing Program at Miami-Dade College, I am now trying to back up my credentials with certifications and clinical expertise that will stand as proof of my commitment. Hopefully, this will take me to the next step in my career.
During the past few years I have built a start to a Certification in Gerontology that hopefully will be offered to students in the RN to BSN program someday. As of now there are two classes that I have created from scratch- Fundamentals of Gerontology and End-of-Life or Palliative Nursing Care. Eventually I would like to add two more classes (at least) and offer students a certification in Gerontology upon successful completion of the classes.
Also in the works is the idea of getting either another Masters or Doctorate in Gerontology so as to increase my ability to build a credible program within the School of Nursing at MDC. Some other plans that are in the works: Certification in Nursing Education (CNE)- Research projects in “Write around technique to alleviate plagiarism use” and “Fluid balance charting as a training technique” to be conducted at MDC.
Also, several papers are in the works, at different stages, including Multidrug Resistant Organisms and their role in Nursing Homes” that was recently presented at the 8th Interprofessional Geriatric Training Symposium at Nova Southeastern University (May, 2015}. Also, after taking care of a patient that had Mantle Cell Lymphoma, I became very interested in the disease and the care of individuals with this normally fatal disorder. Lastly, my old favorite that I studied while getting my doctorate, the problem with convincing people the benefit of the Human Papillomavirus Vaccine.

In week 4, you learned about the importance of theory, the various theoretical perspectives and the ways in which theory help guide research in regards to crime and criminal behavior. To put this assignment into context, I want you to think about how Lombroso thought one could identify a criminal. He said that criminals had similar facial features. If that was the case you would be able to look at someone and know if they were a criminal! Social theories infer that perhaps it is the social structures around us that encourage criminality. Look around your city- what structures do you think may match up to something you have learned about this week in terms of theory? These are just two small examples to put this assignment into context for you. The idea is to learn about the theories, then critically think about how can one “show” the theory without providing written explanation for their chosen image. Directions: With the readings week 4 in mind, please do the following: 1. Choose a theoretical perspective (I.e., biological, psychological sociological) 2. Look through media images (this can be cartoons, magazines, newspapers, internet stories, etc…) and select 10 images that you think depict your chosen theory without written explanation. 3. Provide a one paragraph statement of your theory, what kinds of behavior it explains and how it is depicted through images. Be sure to use resources to support your answer. 4. You will copy and paste your images into a word document, along with your paragraph. You do not need to cite where you got your images, but you do need to cite any information you have in number 3. Format Directions: Typed, 12 point font, double spaced APA format style (Cover page, in text citations and references) |
||
Please read other attachment for the reading For week 4, you are to read the following sections in this book IN THIS ORDER:
- 1-5.12
Here is a bit of information about each of the readings:
Topic: What is a theory and how do I know if it is a good theory?
Readings: 5.1, 5.2
These readings will introduce you to theory. Theory is used in Criminology to describe, explain, predict and hopefully control criminal behavior. These readings introduce you to the science component of criminal justice- criminology. While criminal justice is the study of police, courts and corrections, criminology is the study of crime and criminal behavior. While different, they interact! It is important to understand why “people do what they do” in an effort to inform the criminal justice components to help gain a better understanding of crime and criminality, in addition to biological, psychological and social factors that influence criminality.
Topic: Pre-Classical, Classical and Neoclassical schools of thought
Readings 5.3, 5.4, 5.5
These readings will introduce you to the early thoughts on criminal behavior. They will provide you with the historical, cultural and society happenings that were influencing the study of criminals. You will also learn about the different ideas surrounding punishment historically.
Topic: Positivism & biological and psychological explanations of criminal behavior
Readings 5.6, 5.7
These readings will introduce you to the idea of positivism- that empirical evidence through scientific inquiry could be used to improve society. You will learn various ways in which scientists tried to identify causes of criminal behavior beyond one’s individual choice.
Topic: Social Process and Social Structure Theories: Chicago School, Strain, Learning and Control Theories
Readings 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11
Some criminologists believe that the cause of criminal behavior lies within society, either in the social structures that are in place, or as a result of social processes. These readings will introduce the impact that things like race, class, sex, education, peer groups, etc.. may have on criminal behavior.
Topic: Social Reaction Theories and Critical Theory
Reading 5.12
Unlike other theories, social reaction theories focus on those who label react and attempt to control criminal offenders and how this influences further criminal behavior. Critical theories are rooted in the thoughts of Karl Marx and look at the fusion between power and inequality. Critical theories attempt to explain criminality as a result of inequality and attempt to influence policies directed and creating equality to curb crime. This reading will introduce you to both of these schools of thought.
Week 2: Strengths and Strategies, Curriculum Vitae, and Action Plan
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to develop (a) a leadership strength-to-strategy plan, (b) a professional curriculum vitae (CV), and (c) an action plan for leadership formation. The strengths-to-strategy plan (from the Week 1 interactive) formulates a plan to guide leadership development. The CV provides the professional foundation for the DNP portfolio through documentation of professional and academic accomplishments. The action plan addresses gaps or developmental opportunities in the CV while applying strategies from the strength-to-strategy plan. The strengths-to-strategy plan, professional CV, and developmental action plan contribute to the student’s professional development of skills and competencies relevant to the DNP scholar as a leader.

Strengths-to-Strategy Plan
Leadership Strengths
Servant leader: Having the responsibilities of service to others and recognize that the role of organizations is to create people who can build a better tomorrow. Strengths-based leader: I strive to empower workers’ strengths rather than identify problems. Task-oriented leader: I would spend time to explain expectations and I reward good performance, correct departures from expectations, and I would attempt to prevent future problems.
Leadership Opportunities
1. Unmasking my weakness 2. Learning from my failures 3. Appreciate feedbacks. 4. Listen to those with more experience 5. Refuse to settle for mediocrity
Turning Opportunities into Strengths
1. Understanding my leadership style will opens the door for building managerial skills in harmony with my true nature. With a sense of where I fall in leadership style categories, I will be better equipped to develop leadership skills. 2. Setting concrete goals and executing them. Formulating the right plan and setting meaningful benchmarks along the way gives me a map to follow, a methodology that will guide me through my tasks. 3. Admit when I fail and move on. When I recognize an error, I should admit it openly and take action to correct it. I should be open about your failures; discuss them with myself/with your team and earn from them.
Leveraging Others’ Strengths
Listening to those that I work with and examining and adopting their good skills/strengths that I may lack. Being supportive and engaging with others.

Does caffeine cause cancer? Is autism caused by childhood immunizations? What is the relationship between eating sugary sweets at night and weight gain? It is often helpful to determine and explore relationships between variables. This is especially important in health care, a field dedicated to providing quality care for patients and improving health outcomes. Examining relationships between variables forms the basis for correlational statistics.
In this Discussion, you identify a health care or nursing practice problem that can be explored with correlational statistics and formulate a research question for exploring that problem. You also develop a null and alternate hypothesis, determine the variables related to the study, and predict relationships between the variables based on what you know of correlational statistics.
To prepare:
- Review this week’s Learning Resources and the “Correlation” tutorial focusing on the types of research questions that can be answered using a correlational statistic.
- Brainstorm a number of health care delivery or nursing practice problems that could be explored using correlational statistics. Then, select one problem on which to focus for this Discussion.
- Formulate a research question to address the problem and that would lead you to employ correlational statistics.
- Develop a null hypothesis and alternate hypotheses.
- Ask yourself: What is the expected direction of the relationship?
By tomorrow Tuesday 10/03/17, 5 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format. Use the two references below from the required media and reading list. Include the level one headings as numbered below:
Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Identify your selected problem in the first line of your posting and post your research question.
2) Post a null hypothesis and alternate hypotheses for your research question and identify the dependent and independent variables that would be associated with the research study.
3) Provide your prediction for the expected relationship (positive or negative) between the variables. Why do you think that sort of relationship will exist? What other factors might affect the outcome?
