Health Qs

For Each Question, Please Write AT LEAST 100 Words Per Question. Please Cite All Sources Used.
1. Chapter 3 in your text lists the many different types of healthcare organizations and facilities in which a coder/biller, or IT health systems technician could be employed. From your text, select, and rank order the top three organizations/facilities you would like to work for and explain why, including if you have any personal or work experience with the three you selected.  Be sure to include references for any sources that you have utilized for your response. Please explore a website affiliated with your top three healthcare organization and be sure to provide references at the end of your forum post.
2. Chapter 6 in your text outlines the Patient Self Determination Act (PDSA) of 1990, types of advance directive forms, and that AD laws and forms required, vary by state. Using the Internet, research the advance directive laws and forms required to be used in the state in which you live, identify your state and provide a summary of those laws, and copy and paste in the URL address(s) that support(s) the information in your post. Share if you do or don’t currently have a legal advance directive, and why or why not? If you so wish, you may also share if your family has had any experiences with family members being critically ill with or without advance directives and what your family would or would not do differently if a similar situation arose.

Key Elements of a Research Proposal

Epidemiology /Nursing

 Details:
Asthma is a chronic lung disease caused by inflammation of the  lower airways and episodes of airflow obstruction. Asthma episodes or  attacks can vary from mild to life-threatening. In 2007, about 7%  percent of the U.S. population was diagnosed with asthma and there have  been a growing number of new cases since that time. There are several  known risk factors identified as triggers of asthma symptoms and  episodes, including inhalation of allergens or pollutants, infection,  cold air, vigorous exercise, and emotional upsets. There is also growing  evidence relating body-mass index to asthma in both children and  adults. Design a study to investigate whether there is such an  association.
Choose a study design and justify the reasons you chose the design over others.
Select a statistical measure you would use to describe the association (if there is one) between body mass index and asthma.
In addition, address:

  1. Subject selection
  2. Issues relating to the measurement of both the exposure and the outcome
  3. Potential biases that the study might be prone to, and how they might be handled
  4. Possible confounding factors and effect modifiers and how to overcome their effect

Present the information in a 750-1000-word report, using section  headings where each requirement is described and justified under each of  the following headings: Study Design, Statistical Measures, Subject  Selection, and Measurement Issues.
Refer to the “Key Elements of a Research Proposal.”
You are required to use a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.  You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

Personal Energy Equation

/in /by

Personal Energy Equation
Step 1. Calculate your BMI and BMR

  • Go to http://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html  (age 23, male, 6ft1,150 pounds.)

On this website, use the calculators to compute your BMI (Body Mass Index) and your BMR ( basal metabolic rate – the calories you burn just staying alive.
Step 2.  Compute your AEE (activity energy expenditure) in planned or spontaneous physical activity.  

  • If your primary form of physical activity is walking, record how far you walked and estimate how briskly you walked. If you regularly workout at a gym or fitness facility, record the length and intensity of your workout. Using a treadmill or other type of exercise machine will give you a lot of information, but if you don’t have access to that equipment just write down what you do, how long you do it, and estimate intensity.
  • You can also use any of the mobile apps, FitBit or other tracking devices, or an old fashioned pedometer to track the number of steps you walked.

Step 3: Compute your TEE (total energy expenditure)
Add your BMR and an average of your AEE for the day you tracked your physical activity.
Step 4: Depict and Discuss Your Energy Equation

  • Devise a way of showing how your input compares to your output. This can be a simple table, a graph, or a chart.
  • Using the link below, write a brief discussion in which you address the following questions:
  • Did input and output come close to balancing each other out? Was output more than input, or was the opposite true?
  • Its not just calorie totals that are important in diet analysis. Looking at the total energy input for the day you tracked, were the proportions of each of the three macronutrients in line with the Guideline recommendations? Does your total calorie intake represent the concept of proportionality so that you have a “balanced” diet?
    • Did carbohydrates supply 50-60% of your total caloric intake? Were added sugars less than 10% of your total carbohydrate intake?
    • Did 25-30% of your total caloric intake come from fats, with less than 10% being from saturated fats?
    • Did protein (plant and animal) account for no more than 15-25% of your total caloric intake?
  • If you were to make every day for the next six months look like this one, do you think you would lose or gain weight? Why? 
  • Be sure to include your “energy equation”in the body of your paper.
  • Attach as Word documents copies of your Nutrient Report and your Activity Report from SuperTracker or an equivalent app. (https://www.supertracker.usda.gov)

define what is family and the different types of family

Discussion
In your own words and quoting the appropriate evidence-based references define what is family and the different types of family.  Please tell us what type of family do you belong?
2.   How do you feel that the value system differs from that of your parents? And from your grandparents? Why have these changes come about? As practicing nurses, why is it important to consider these generational differences in values and beliefs?
3.  Discuss traditional health beliefs & practices that have been passed down by families. Are these cultural or regional beliefs? Do you continue to practice any of the same things? Why or why not?
4.  How do you believe that family members and their upbringing have affected your own health or could affect a patient/individual’s health? Discuss positive & negative effects as well as physical, emotional & spiritual health. Give some examples.
As stated in the syllabus the assignment must be presented in an APA format word document, Arial 12 font attached to the forum on the discussion board.  A minimum of 3 evidenced-based references must be used and 2 replies to any of your peers sustained with the appropriate references must be posted.  Only the assignment must be attached in a word document in the forum, replies do not.  References must be no older than 5 years.  A minimum of 700 words is required
