Scenario: I am creating a course for inclusion into an established nursing curriculum. I am supposed to describe the program level of the course am proposing. What do they mean by program level? This is a hypothetical community college with a two year nursing program.

Case Scenario: A 16-year-old female presents at the clinic with extreme fatigue and shortness of breath while playing volleyball. She has been in good health until about six months ago. During these six months, she has had several colds and flu events where she was unable to do normal activities. Her mother reports she spends a great deal of time sleeping, sometimes twelve hours, and complains of fatigue when she awakens. She is pale and appears to have little energy. The doctor suspects iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

1. Question: What will the doctor likely do first for this young woman? Support your answer using specific facts, data, examples, and other information drawn from the textbook and at least one other supplemental source.

Case Scenario: A 75-year-old man in long term care. He has been bedbound for longer than six months. His history shows he has cardiac and circulatory problems, exacerbated by his lack of activity.

2. Question: What is the biggest problem someone with these issues faces? Include in your answer specific facts, data, examples, and other information drawn from your textbook and at least one other supplemental source.

How are the costs of care distributed among U.S residents now? Be sure to think about not only costs paid out of pocket but also costs paid through taxes for government-provided care. How would those costs be distributed under a single-payer nation health plan?

How do we ration health care in our present system? What are the financial costs of this rationing? What are the social costs? Please answer up to one page.

What do you think about competitive academic activities, such as spelling bees, focusing on the following questions:

(1) Do spelling bees and other academic competitions encourage or discourage working hard?

(2) What are the effects on self-concept and self-esteem for the few winners and the many losers?

(3) Do these events encourage a mastery orientation, a learned-helpless approach, or both?

(4) What types of comments can teachers make if they want to offer process praise rather than person praise for students’ performance in academic competitions?

(5) Do students think that competitive school activities should be eliminated? Why or why not?

(6) How would you suggest modifying the structure of spelling bees and other competitive academic activities so that they encourage cooperation among children, rather than just competition?

Design a lunch or that would be suitable for a college student following the DASH diet and providing no more than 650 kcal

Use the scenario below (Stephanie) to complete the following Antecedent Behaviour Consequence (ABC) form to record what happened before, during and after the behaviour of concern in 10 – 40 words.

Stephanie Peterson is 45 years old and lives at Harbourside Haven, a specialist disability unit that is close to the ocean. She has been there only four months after living in an aged care facility that cared for three other younger people with disability. She likes the water and the smell of the ocean and can often be seen watching the water.

Steph, as she likes to be known, has a severe intellectual disability and limited communication skills but has good receptive language skills when spoken to quietly. She can make herself understood and uses some basic pictorial communication aids. Staff are really working hard with Steph and her family to put in place an individualised behaviour support plan that aims to increase her quality of life and decrease the frequency and severity of her challenging behaviours that were noted on the plan she brought with her. These include pilfering, hoarding and gorging on food, becoming very vocal and screaming uncontrollably if she cannot be understood and if she is having difficulty walking she will grab at the nearest person for support.

Stephanie loves music and she enjoys watching the music channel on TV, she gets excited when her favourite songs are played and among her favourite performers is Jimmy Barnes. Staff have also introduced “quiet evening music” after tea to help Steph settle down at night. She really enjoys listening to the harp and now three or four other residents join Steph to enjoy the music.

There is some concern about emerging medical issues for Steph. She is considered medically obese, has some cardiac (heart) issues and is at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Staff have discussed this with Steph and her family and Steph has decided to take on a more active lifestyle and has met with her dietitian to understand which foods might improve her medical conditions. She is now going to the pool three mornings a week and goes for a walk every afternoon. This is hard work for her but with encouragement, new joggers, a new beach towel and support from her brother she is beginning to enjoy it and isn’t as breathless as she was before.

Steph used to store food from the fridge and pantry in her room as she was worried she would get hungry. Sometimes this caused health issues, as the food was not stored correctly, and the foods she kept in her room were not helping her to meet her new health goals. Steph is now choosing to keep a selection of healthy snacks in her room, and she chooses to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Steph enjoys her independence.

Yesterday at midday the support workers were late in starting lunch preparations. Whilst one (1) support worker assisted another resident, Stephanie took the bread needed for everyone’s lunch from the kitchen to her room. When the other support worker found her in the room with the bread and asked her to return it so that everyone would be able to enjoy lunch together, she offered Steph one of her snacks and Steph returned the bread. The worker smiled and thanked Steph very much. Previously Steph would have become upset, pushed the staff member away, yelled and slammed the door.

Steph’s behaviour support plan identifies her strengths, needs, capabilities and preferences intending to actively involve Steph to help resolve her own problems and there is growing recognition by staff and others of her skills and competence. If staff listen carefully and talk quietly Steph can understand most things and they can understand her. By following her plan and using proactive strategies that have been developed, Steph no longer needs to use behaviours of concern to get her needs met.

Discuss the role of ethics in regulating the provision of complementary medicine treatments and products and their place in the regulatory environment surrounding complementary medicine?

Consider the following hypothetical scenario:

Mary has been using the bark from the weeping willow tree in her garden for many years to treat aches and pains. When she was very young, she had heard from someone that willow bark could be a useful anti-inflammatory and decided to experiment with the bark herself. Over many years, she came up with a method of steeping the bark to produce a tea that tastes good, and in her view, is very effective. She now provides people in her neighborhood with her special tea upon request. At their encouragement, Mary decides to sell her tea in a dried form online. With the help of a friend she sets up a website and markets her ‘Mellow Willow’ tea as a ‘Gentle, miracle cure for sports injuries and arthritis’.

Provide an analysis of whether there are any legal or ethical limitations on Mary’s ability to sell her product in this manner.
