Do the students in the research study have any health concerns that would lead to weight gain like diabetes or hypothyroidism?
This is important to know because if the students in the studies had other health concerns with weight gain as a side effect, then the values of the results would be inaccurate.
How many students were surveyed in this pool of college students?

 For example if 50 students were surveyed in this research study then it would mean that only 10-15 students of that 50 were reported obese, to give us the values of 25% and 30%. If the sample size is too small, it can give an inaccurate representation considering that average college campus populations are usually in the upper thousands.
Did the students in the survey all consume alcohol? If yes, then how much and how often did they drink?
The concluding sentence of the research suggests that alcohol consumption is one of the leading causes of obesity amongst college students. Something to remember is, not all college students drink. Of those who do drink, there are so many categories of drinking styles. So without hard evidence that all the college students drank and drank the same amount, there is no reliable proof to this being one of the leading causes of obesity.

2. 
1. What studies have shown that college students are vulnerable to obesity?
2. Why do researches believe that it is the lack of access to healthy foods and increase in alcohol consumption and how can we gain more access to healthy foods?
3. How can we reduce the percentages in this passage?
I feel like that sources make a huge impact in our papers or short passages. With that being said, I would like to know where the studies are that shows college students are “vulnerable” to obesity. 
How is there lack of access to healthy food? Vending machines throughout a campus is filled with junk food, but that does not mean you have to eat from the vending machine. Walmart has plenty of healthy foods and its pretty easy to access a Walmart.
If the statistics are right I feel like we should put healthier foods in the vending machines to hopefully reduce the percentages that is listed in this passage. 

Employees in the health care system manage a wide variety of health issues and diseases. This course has provided you with the opportunity to take a broad look at many of these health issues. The next step is for you to look at how disease trends will influence the delivery of health care in the future.

Nursing Informatics

Current Topics in Nursing Informatics

Each student in this course possesses a unique background and skill set. Drawing from your own career and experiences, identify a current information-technology-related problem or opportunity for improvement. 

  • Explain the scope of the problem using both anecdotal and evidentiary information to “build your case” 
  • Once you have identified and explained the problem, propose a solution or series of steps to be taken in order to improve the situation
  • Your recommendations for improvement may include design and utilization of new technology or perhaps upgrades to that which already exists
  • Be creative in your approach
  • Explain how the changes will benefit nursing and improve patient outcomes
  • Topics for discussion may include (but are not limited to): legal ramifications of information technology/systems, ethical considerations in information technology, redundancy in documentation, ease of use and navigation in chosen operating system, or the use of data to improve health outcomes
  • Approach this assignment as though you are the advanced-practice informatics nurse responsible for convincing others that a change is needed and then moving forward with planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project

Use language that reflects the proper use of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word choice. Make sure the paper is well organized, using headings throughout to guide the reader.

After carefully completing reading 1 and reading 2 materials, use the knowledge to address the following two parts of this assignment.

Part 1 (300 words with APA citations from readings, No new references are needed)
Assume that you are the CHRO of a 450 bed, metropolitan full-service hospital with over 1,800 employees. In spite of ranking at the 50th percentile for wages in the area (there are 3 other hospitals within 10 miles of your facility), morale among employees is at an all-time low. A recent employee survey revealed the poor morale as well as a high rate of burnout. (In fact, 30% of the nursing staff admitted to looking at other jobs.) Staff turnover during the past 2 years has been about twice the previous rate and absenteeism was up 50% over the same time period. The last COO introduced an employee “flex time” plan that saved the hospital 15% on wage costs by sending employees home when the patient census was low. (Of note, 65% of nurses managed to work a 40-hour week last quarter.) 
Employee benefits include a small life insurance policy, a 401k plan (no matching) and health insurance for employees, but not dependents. No other insurance or benefits are currently offered. (80% of employees have a “significant other” and 55% have at least one child between 1 and 12 years old.)
Formulate and discuss a comprehensive plan to improve morale, productivity, and reduce burnout among staff nurses. The CEO has allowed you to address all aspects of employment, including working hours, conditions, compensation and benefits, etc. 

Part 2 (250 words with APA citations from readings, No new references are needed)
Physicians make decisions for (and with!) their patients that account for 75% of all healthcare expenditures. Physicians order diagnostic tests, admit patients to and discharge them from the hospital, perform surgery and other procedures and decide on which treatments/medications are best for their patients. Therefore, managing physician behavior is critical to curbing healthcare costs. Creating incentives to modify physician behavior continues to be the subject of much research (some of it pretty poor, btw).
Do you think money motivates physician behavior as powerfully as it does other healthcare employees? Would it matter if the physician is employed by the hospital or is an independent practitioner? Does fee-for-service reimbursement increase or decrease the motivation money provides to physicians? Support your opinions.

ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL, CITED, IN APA FORMAT & WILL BE SUBMITTED TO TURN-IT-IN. DUE DATE IS 11/08/20 @6PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME. 2000 WORD COUNT MINIMUM/ NOT INCLUDING THE TITLE PAGE.
Assignment:
This week you will reflect upon and answer the following question:
1. The case of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals changed federal law on the testimony of scientific experts. It involved the drug Bendectin. Examine the case and address the question of whether or not the drug is dangerous. How does the case help explain the difficulty in regulating the drug companies and their products?
2.  Examine one of the following substances in depth—its origin, associated industries, substances that could be substituted for it, history of regulation, and health effects: dioxin, benzene, asbestos, trichloroethylene, chromium, lead, solvents, perfluorooctanoic acid, methane gas, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, leptophos, copper cyanide, ethylene chloride, methyl isocyanine gas, fuel oil residues, styrene tars, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, vinyl chloride, diesel fuel, kepone, EPN, cotton dust, radioactive waste, beryllium.
3. Koch Industries is one of the companies that paid a seemingly enormous fine of $30 million in 2000. How much did this fine hurt the company? Has Koch been targeted for wrongdoing since then?
