Critique and Analysis of a Theory Useful in Family Nursing Presentation
Research and analyze a mutually chosen theory useful in family nursing. It can be a nursing theory or another theory used in family nursing such as a stress family theory.
Identify the theory or framework with the history and author of the theory.
Describe major concepts from the theory or framework.
Discuss the theorys assumptions about family and nursing.
Discuss your rationale for selection of the theory or framework:
o Support for theory or framework from the literature with evidence of use in family nursing
Describe how it can be used to guide the nursing process
Describe the process of family assessment using the theoretical model
Critique the framework for:
o Applicability feasibility and use in advanced practice nursing
o Applicability to culturally diverse families
o Potential to generate a research base for advanced practice nursing
Discuss at least two strengths and two weaknesses of the theory for use in family nursing practice

Explain why saturated fats tend to be solids at room temperature, and cis-unsaturated fats tend to be liquids at room temperature.

1-Partial hydrogenation of (healthy) cis unsaturated fats produces trans fatty acids. Most of the trans fats produced by the hydrogentation process are classified as saturated fats even though they are still technically _______________?
2-Explain why saturated fats tend to be solids at room temperature, and cis-unsaturated fats tend to be liquids at room temperature. Think about the general 3D shape of these molecules.
3-There are several allotropes (different physical forms) of carbon in the professor’s suitcase: graphite, diamond, fullerenes, and nanotubes. The 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded for the discovery of another allotrope of carbon, which is a single sheet of graphite. What is its name?
4-Can you describe a time when collaboration worked well for you? Where there ever any disagreements that led to a false assumption (like cells spontaneously crystalizing into existence)?
5-What are the properties of water that makes life possible?

Describe the common pattern of alternating extinctions and radiations

In our online lecture we include a quote by E. O. Wilson, “The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us.”
Throughout Earth’s history, we have had long periods of innovation and radiation of new species which have been interrupted periodically by five major extinction events that eliminated large percentages of the life on Earth. The last of these appears to have involved a collision with a large asteroid resulting in the loss of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous. Each of these events has been followed by a new period of radiation of new species and innovation.
As Wilson states, we are now in the midst of a sixth major extinction event that has been brought on by the actions of humans.
Describe the common pattern of alternating extinctions and radiations. Consider Wilson’s statement. What evidence can you find to support or refute that statement? Do you agree with Wilson? Explain why you do or don’t agree and present the evidence supporting your opinion.

Why is it more sensible for phosphofructokinase, rather than hexokinase, to be an important control step

1)Why is it more sensible for phosphofructokinase, rather than hexokinase, to be an important control step?
2)What is the energy source that drives the condensation of oxaloacetate and and acetyl CoA to produce citrate?
3)What are the mechanisms that a cell uses to protect against the production of oxygen radicals?
4)Describe how the Citric Acid Cycle is a central metabolic pathway in cells that is used for energy metabolism and functions as an anaplerotic pathway.
