I work at a hospital where we take care of many patients that are bed bound due to medical complex related issues. Many times, because those patients are bed bound, they are placed on a rotation schedule to be turned every two hours to help with adequate blood flow, healthy skin, and pressure ulcers prevention. My PICOT question to help reduce pressure ulcers is: Does repositioning of bed bound patients every two hours decrease the risk of pressure ulcer verses repositioning every 5 hours. There are times, bed bound patients develop pressure ulcers from bony prominent areas due to lack of blood flows because they are not being repositioned every two hours.Assignment 1 – Using EBP to Formulate a Clinical Question

• Describe the most critical health issues affecting your selected population.
• Describe at least three public health/community services that exist in your own community to address these issues.
• Contact one of these services’ directors (or representative) and inquire about the agency’s effectiveness by asking these questions: 

  • Do you feel your organization has made a difference?
  • What are your main barriers and how are the barriers to services being addressed?
  • What are the ethical considerations of your services and how are they addressed?
  • How is your organization funded?
  • What concerns are still unmet in your opinion? Are these areas that will be addressed in the future?

Last week you examined various methods of scientific inquiry that you will utilize in the following scenario. This week, you will be acting as a community health department investigator who has been hired to look into a mysterious increase in student absences at some local middle schools in your area. Although some town residents are attributing the absences to a local legend, it is your responsibility to conduct a scientific investigation and identify the most likely causes for the absences by using the evidence available from the school and the health department.

You will create a PowerPoint presentation fully outlining your investigation. A template for the Unit 2 presentation is provided. You are welcome to modify this template to suit your needs, being sure to meet the Assignment requirements. Review the rubric for this assignment in the syllabus and the scoring guide for this assignment in Doc Sharing.

Start by reading a memo from your boss. This memo outlines the basics of the problem for you. Access the memo.

Your first task for this Assignment is to figure out when the unusual spike in absences took place, and in what class(es). Remember to base all your conclusions on evidence from the absentee data.

Once you have isolated which schools experienced the unusual spike in absences, be sure to include specific data and an explanation within page 2 of your PowerPoint presentation.

Now, you must determine what the likely causes for the spike in absences are.

Explore the available data:

• school activity calendars,
• interviews with the parents of the absent students, and
• other local town information including restaurant inspection reports that will help you determine some potential causes for the absences.

Based on all of the information you collect, complete the remaining parts of the PowerPoint presentation:

• The specific circumstances/symptoms experienced by the students which prevented them from attending school.
• Two testable, clear hypotheses that state what caused the absences. Be sure to base your hypotheses on the evidence you obtained (e.g., Health Department Restaurant Inspections, details from school calendars, etc.) and include an explanation of who, what, why, when, and how as the evidence supporting your hypotheses.
• Come up with six follow-up questions for each hypothesis that you could ask to help further your investigation and support or disprove each hypothesis.
• According to an anonymous town resident, the spike in absences coincided with the annual anniversary of the death of the town’s founder, Jeremiah Potts. The founder died 150 years ago during the month of May following an unexplained illness, and ever since his death, he haunts the public buildings causing symptoms similar to the illness that he succumbed to.
• Provide an explanation for why this “haunting” hypothesis is not scientifically valid. Include in your explanation a more appropriate hypothesis, similar to the two that you created based upon the available evidence.

Biotechnology and Reproductive Rights

The ultimate goal of the Session Long Project is to identify and evaluate the ethical principles used in resolving ethical dilemmas, and to apply the principles to specific ethical issues that may have professional, sociological, economic, legal or political implications.

Abortion is an issue that evokes strong reaction from many people. According to the author of Abortion: At the still point of the turning conscientious objection debate,” two of the more prominent voices within public bioethical debate are philosophical views that, on the one hand, hold up bare (human) life as its fundamental value, and, on the other, hold up the life that can choose as its fundamental value. For this assignment, please read the article listed above and respond to the following questions.

1. Briefly discuss Lee and George’s theory and their position on abortion.
2. Briefly discuss Beauchamp and Childress’ theory and position on abortion.
3. Briefly discuss the theoretical and practical dynamics of the conscientious objection debate. Be sure to compare and contrast the two theories in your discussion.
4. The conscientious objection debate, which Charo and Cantor describe at the socio-political level, centers on a question that can be roughly articulated as, ‘‘How do we handle conflicts that arise because people hold divergent moral perspectives? Please provide an example of how this that might occur in your discipline of study. What is the conflict? What are the moral issues that might arise? Which one of theories discussed in the article might be used to resolve these conflicts? 

Use the information in the modular background readings as well as resources you find through ProQuest or other online sources. Please be sure to cite all sources and provide a reference list at the end of the paper. Submit the paper as a WORD document through the link provided for the assignment.

Application: Comparing Terrorist Groups

In the readings this week, many different terrorist groups, historic and contemporary, are discussed. While these and other terrorist groups may share some commonalities, it is important to keep in mind that no two terrorist groups are exactly the same. Each terrorist group can be unique in terms of their membership, goals and objectives, and tactics they use to carry out acts of terror. For instance, one terrorist group may engage in assassinations and suicide bombings while another may engage in hijackings and the use of weapons of mass destruction. Public administrators and policymakers must be aware of such differences and create distinct policies and strategies aimed at combating terrorism promulgated by specific terrorist groups.

To prepare for this assignment:

Review Chapter 2 in the course text Terrorism in Perspective. Consider the characteristics of historic terrorist groups.

Review Chapter 3 in the course text Terrorism in Perspective. Think about the characteristics of international terrorist groups.

Review Chapter 5 in the course text Terrorism in Perspective. Reflect on the characteristics of homegrown terrorist groups.

Review the assigned pages of Chapter 4 in the course text Terrorism in Perspective. Consider the tactics that terrorist groups might use to carryout acts of terror.

Select two terrorist groups to compare. You may select any terrorist groups mentioned in the Learning Resources, those identified on the U.S. Department of State Web page “Foreign Terrorist Organizations,” or those on the U.S. Department of State’s Terrorist Exclusion List Web page. Note: Please scroll down the page for the list of designees.

Think about the similarities and differences between the groups you selected in terms of geographic location, membership, motivations, objectives, and tactics.

create a hypothetical example that describes step by step how natural selection could operate on a mammal species

Your example should clearly and accurately describe how a variable trait in the mammal species is selected for or against as a result of whatever your environmental trigger may be, and how the populations changed. You may choose any non-domesticated mammal species you wish.

Your example must be original! Do not take an example from another source. You must create your own example. The trait, etc., you chose may be fictitious as long as your example accurately describes the process of natural selection.

You need to accurately explain the process of natural selection.

Provide the name of the mammal at the top of the page

• Again, note that your example can be hypothetical as long as you accurately describe the evolutionary process (so, your example could describe selection for swimming in a squirrel population after Lake Michigan permanently washes over Illinois, even though this is not happening). Do not use a known example (such as moths and industrial melanism); you must make up your own.

• Your post should be 1-2 paragraphs long (e.g., more than 3 sentences, less than 20 sentences)

• Remember that natural selection cannot produce a new trait! It can only act on a trait that is already present.

Please watch these 2 videos lectures and response to the learning objectives 4-5 sentences for each

Patricia N. Mechael, PhD MHS

Principal and Policy Lead

Washington, DC

Objectives:

1. Explain how global health concerns have been shifting to chronic disease and longevity, over the past few years

2. Articulate challenges in health living and chronic disease management in the global context

3. Describe health IT and informatics solutions that have been piloted

4. Provide evidence of their success

From the second e-Activity, analyze the Federal court decisions in regards to the Affordable Health Care Act. Debate the extent to which the Supreme Court’s decisions have affected healthcare policy in your community. Provide two (2) specific examples to support your rationale.

You have just started as an entry level accountant in your small 20 bed hospital. You need to get the buy in of your board to agree to a project to help your organization stay on the cutting edge; however they don’t understand the concept of budgeting. You are asked to make a presentation to the board to explain the budgeting process. Included in that presentation you must create a spreadsheet delineating the components of a hospital budget.

I need this in at least 250 words in APA format

Look at case study number two, PolyPharmacy Problems, p. 166 of Health Policy and Politics, A Nurses Guide, by Milstead. Formulate a policy to reduce the practice of multiple drug prescriptions. What tools might be included in the design phase of the policy process to increase the probability of success? What research from other countries could be helpful in addressing this issue? Support your reasoning.

Develop a Climate classification analysis and description for the weather data collection locations you were assigned:

1. Create a climograph for each of the locations for which you collected weather data.

1. Collect the monthly average temperature, monthly precipitation, latitude and longitude location, and elevation above sea level. You can find climate data (i.e., monthly temperature and precipitation data) at http://www.worldclimate.com/ (Links to an external site.). The Weather Underground site is also helpful in its history and almanac section.
2. You may use a blank climograph form such as the one on page 160 in your lab manual (it is suggested that you use English rather than metric values) or you may can use Excel. Instructions for creating climographs using the Microsoft Office 2003 version of Excel are found on the file Creating Climographs in Excel. Your version of Excel may or may not work with these instructions. It may be easier, and is completely acceptable, to neatly plot the data by hand on a blank chart. Then scan the chart into an image file and paste that image into your document.
1. Using the climate data, the climographs you created, the classification descriptions in Chapter 10 of the text book, and the Koppen system described in Exercise 17 of the lab manual determine the climate classification (descriptive name and Koppen symbol) that your sites should be assigned to. Start with determining the first letter of the classification and work through to the third letter. Show /describe all of the steps you take as well as explaining how you made the decision regarding the climate your two cities should be in.
2. From this information, as well as the climate information portrayed in the book and any other sources you choose to use, describe, in detail,what the location is like from a climate standpoint. Note that your location may have four distinct “seasons” like we do, but again it might not. Being in the northern or southern hemisphere must be considered.An example of a classification for Florence, AL is in this module.
3. Examine the weather data for Weeks 7 to 14 that you collected and compare it to the monthly data you found. Remember to consider the “season” for each location during the time you collected data. Does your data fit into the climate regime? Why or why not?

1. For each trophic level write one or two sentences explaining the role of that type of organism. You should include those organisms that fall outside the normal pyramid. Give an example of each type of organism.Your examples do not have to belong to the same food chain in real life. Why does the pyramid get narrower at each higher level? (Look up Energy pyramid) 

Answer:

2.  What is an environmental sphere or earth system sphere? Name the earth’s five major environmental spheres and state the defining characteristics of each. Give one example of a way in which two or more earth system spheres interact.

Answer:

(8 points)

3.  What is biogeochemical cycling? For each of the following five cycles, state two processes in which matter changes its form: carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.

Answer:

Social Services

Share what social services are available in your community and give examples of when it is important to involve social services in the management of your patients in the primary care setting?( state of Maryland). Please give examples of what you have done in your clinic setting involving social services. Support your discussion with evidence based practice and recommendations. Three references evidence based practice not older than 5 years ago. Use the state of Maryland.

A shaft is supported on bearings A and B, 800 mm between centres. A 20°

straight tooth spur gear having 600 mm pitch diameter, is located 200 mm to the right of the left hand

bearing A, and a 700 mm diameter pulley is mounted 250 mm towards the left of bearing B. The gear

is driven by a pinion with a downward tangential force while the pulley drives a horizontal belt

having 180° angle of wrap. The pulley also serves as a flywheel and weighs 2000 N. The maximum

belt tension is 3000 N and the tension ratio is 3 : 1. Determine the maximum bending moment and the

necessary shaft diameter if the allowable shear stress of the material is 40 MPa.
