Below is what I usually eat daily. Answer the following questions on the food log below.

What are the functions of each nutrient?

Did you consume enough or too much of each (deficiencies / excesses)?

What are the health benefits of each, as well as the risks to health if too much or too little are consumed?

Did you select good sources of each (fried vs baked, simple vs complex carbs, saturated vs unsaturated fats, etc.)?

What would be your recommendations/modifications for optimal health benefits? Give specific examples (e.g., if you were lacking Vit. D, list sources that would increase your Vit. D consumption).

Based on your prior experience when interviewing patients, when faced with sensitive issues is it difficult to ask questions. How do you prepare yourself?, Which areas do you consider sensitive? Have you had an experience you would like to share?, Will the knowledge learned this week how will you address some of these issues or topics?

Osteoporosis is an age-related condition characterized by loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and is a risk factor for fractures in older women. A research project on women looking at fracture rates and bone mineral density showed that women with the lowest bone mineral density were associated with a higher fracture rate than those with higher bone mineral densities. Women targeted with bone mineral density rates of less than 2.5 standard deviations (SD) were evaluated and this was found to be effective in reducing fractures in those treated (compared with a control group of persons in the same range but not treated). A consortium of family practice, ob-gyn, and geriatric clinics and senior health centers decide to start a city-wide prevention campaign, therefore, to prevent falls and fractures in women. Implemented over five-years, this intervention screened and reached virtually all women with a bone mineral density of less than 2.5 SD. Follow-up evaluation, however, indicated no significant reduction in the overall fractures of women in the community during this period. They consulted a local public health professional who provided them with data and the figure below.

(5a) First define Rose’s Theorem. Drawing upon Rose’s Theorem, offer one hypothesis that might explain the failure of this intervention to reduce the overall prevalence and incidence of bone fractures in the community.

(5b) Describe an alternative intervention, and explain how this intervention would be more effective at reducing overall number of fractures. Define Rose’s prevention paradox and state how your intervention is an application of Rose’s “prevention paradox.”

Evidence indicates that as many as 90% of all people seeking treatment for a drug or alcohol use disorder also meet diagnostic criteria for another psychiatric disorder. This situation, termed co-morbidity, can arise for many reasons and can take many forms. Name a few highly prevalent forms of co-morbidity and describe how they might influence long term recovery from the respective disorders.

b. The 1918 flu pandemic had a huge impact on the world and history. What kind of impact do you think the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future? (I'm more so asking what kind of societal or historical impacts you think the pandemic will have, not so much about the death tolls, etc.)

Review (within the last year) health-related policy (not the Affordable Care Act). on the medicare or Medicaid acts or pharmacy acts, review one of those related to health care policy and review,

Introduce this policy in your paper and discuss the following:

imagine you are adapting a new policy to the health care organization at which you work (or where you wish to work). Describe the organization and discuss the following:

1. The stakeholders involved in policy formation and their impact on health care policy formation and structures.
2. The response you expect from those stakeholders.
3. The specific impact this governmental policy will make (positive, negative, indifferent) and why?

Explain the impact of negligence, malpractice, and litigation on the relationship between patient and provider.

Joan is an 85 y/o female recovering from a right total hip replacement. Her injury occurred when she tripped over a scatter rug in her living room and fractured her hip. She lives alone in a private home and anxiously tells you she is afraid of falling again, not being able to call for help and ‘dying alone on the floor’.

Her problems include decreased strength in both lower extremities (BLE) and some pain and stiffness in both hands which limits how long she manages her walker. She also has difficulty preparing her meals due to decreased standing tolerance. She enjoys painting, reading and participating in her book club

T.H., a 57-year-old stockbroker, has come to the gastroenterologist for treatment of recurrent mild to severe cramping in his abdomen and blood-streaked stool. You are the registered nurse doing his initial workup. Your findings include a mildly obese man who demonstrates moderate guarding of his abdomen with both direct and rebound tenderness, especially in the left lower quadrant (LLQ). His vital signs are 168/98, 110, 24, 100.4° F (38° C); he is slightly diaphoretic. T.H. reports that he has periodic constipation. He has had previous episodes of abdominal cramping, but this time the pain is getting worse. Past medical history reveals that T.H. has a "sedentary job with lots of emotional moments," he has smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years, and he had "two or three mixed drinks in the evening" until 2 months ago. He states, "I haven't had anything to drink in 2 months." He denies having regular exercise: "just no time." His diet consists mostly of "white bread, meat, potatoes, and ice cream with fruit and nuts over it." He denies having a history of cardiac or pulmonary problems and has no personal history of cancer, although his father and older brother died of colon cancer. He takes no medications and denies the use of any other drugs or herbal products.

. 1. Identify four general health risk problems that T.H. exhibits.

2. Identify a key factor in his family history that might have profound implications for his health and present state of mind.

3.The physician ordered a KUB (x-ray study of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder), complete blood count (CBC), and complete metabolic profile. Based on x-ray and laboratory findings, physical examination findings, and history, the physician diagnoses T.H. as having acute diverticulitis and discusses an outpatient treatment plan with him. What is diverticulitis? What are the consequences of untreated diverticulitis?

4.While the patient is experiencing the severe crampy pain of acute diverticulitis, what interventions would you perform to help him feel more comfortable?

5. What is the rationale for ordering bed rest?

T.H. is being sent home with prescriptions for metronidazole (Flagyl) 500mg PO q6h, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 500mg PO q12h, and dicyclomine (Bentyl) 20mg 4 tomes per day for 5 days.

6.For each medication, state the drug class and the purpose for T.H.

7.Given his history, what questions must you ask T.H. before he takes the initial dose of metronidazole? State your rationale

  Fistula formation, abscess ( collection of pus)

  4.intramuscular injection of pain killer ( diclofenac)

  5. Bed rest: it helps less bowel activity and helps in healing

  Dicycloamine is antispasmodic, it reduces the crampy abdominal pain

  It can produce disulfiram reaction

  8.Disulfiram reaction :when alcohol is ingested which is associated with flushing and hypotension
