Question 1: Properties of life and recognizing living and nonliving things

 

Consider the properties and characteristics of life. Choose two items (one of which is alive or has been alive and one which has never been alive). Compare and contrast their characteristics. What characteristics do they share and how are they different. Be prepared to discuss the importance of the various characteristics of living things and how their combination makes life an emergent part of the universe.

 

Question 2: Thinking as a scientist, designing research

 

Consider the process by which scientists think through information and solve problems and how this is similar and different to how nonscientists approach the world. Consider a small problem that is solvable scientifically. Describe the process you would go through in solving that problem. Be prepared to discuss the significance of the scientific approach to the development and advancement of human knowledge.

Discuss how you would take the sexual history from an adolescent. Which areas would you need to address during your discussion with an adolescent?

/in /by

Teenagers go through varied physical, mental, emotional, and social changes. In today’s society, these adolescents face a range of developmental issues. Utilizing your learning from your readings and the South University Online Library, respond to the following questions:

  • In your opinion, what are the two most important factors that influence adolescent development?
  • In the Western culture, there are a variety of health services available for adolescents. What is missing in Western society that would benefit health promotion for adolescents?
  • How do the health problems faced by adolescents impact their health and wellness in their lifetimes?
  • Discuss how you would take the sexual history from an adolescent. Which areas would you need to address during your discussion with an adolescent?

.Adult family members, community leaders, religious and faith

groups, institutions and peers all influence young people and

their health and development Gender stereotypes also interfere with the professional judgement of health

workers concerning the sexual, reproductive and mental health both of adolescent

girls and of young people whose sexual orientation remains uncertain.

Associated sex-role stereotypes prevent women from even knowing they experience

discrimination, sexual coercion, exploitation or abuse

 

 

Poor adolescents bear a disproportionate burden of the health problems in their age group. Indicates a strong association between poverty and the health status of adolescents and between poverty and adolescents’ use of health services. Similar disparities between rich and poor adolescents are seen for indicators such as early marriage, skilled attendance at birth, use of contraception, and knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission, and these disparities tend to be greater for adolescents than for older women (Lule et al., 2006).

This project includes a two-day food record and analysis of your diet along with an assessment of your fitness. You will critically evaluate your diet and develop a personal plan for lifestyle changes to benefit your health and well-being. Please write in full sentences, research and reference properly, and format your work following APA. The report should include a title page stating your name, course number, term, instructor name, and title. The body of your report should be a minimum of 1500 words and include at least four references. Attach or copy and paste the results of your nutritional analysis at the end of the report.   Food record and analysis: Pick an average day and record your food. Next, log on to the CNPP website: SuperTracker. You need to create a log in. The program requests some personal data for the analysis. Next, proceed to record your food intake. The site lets you create a list of often consumed foods, which will make it easier for the next time you use it. Once you finish your food intake, select “My Reports.” Copy and save your results to be submitted with your report. Submit Food Groups and Calories, Nutrients, Food Details and Physical Activity reports. Review your food intake and discuss shortfalls.   Next, choose a second day and plan a day for food intake which will meet all recommendations, then live this day; be sure to write down everything which you consume, including drinks and snacks. Try to include items you love to eat. Enter your food in the SuperTracker and analyze. Did you meet all requirements? How did your food intake on this day differ from your other recorded day?   Plan regular physical activity for a week, attempting to meet recommendations for all types of fitness. Next, follow your plan and note your physical activity in a log. Try to include activities you love, and also note sleeping patterns, personal feelings, thoughts, and additional stresses which might occur. Next, return to the beginning and analyze your physical activity on the CNPP website.   Your report should discuss the following questions: •Compare and contrast your food record and analysis from the two days recorded. •Did you like your food intake for the days record? How could you improve your diet, and how can you introduce variety? •What do you consider the most important issue about your diet covered in the course, and how will you apply this to your life? Have you implemented changes and noticed any differences so far? What will be the major challenges to a better diet? •How is the physical activity log? Was it difficult to adhere to an exercise regimen? Did you feel any difference during this week compared to a week before this course began? What will be the major challenges to maintaining a healthy physical activity regimen? •What aspect of this course provided the best and most useful information for you? How do you see this course work affecting your life 6 months from now? A year from now?
