Assignment #2 Mandatory Vaccinations

Vaccinations are a modern medicine success story for protection again some of the most devastating infectious diseases.  More recently, certain infectious diseases like the measles, mumps and whooping cough have seen a resurgence in North America. In Ontario, immunizations are required for health care workers. France has recently announced that eight vaccines will be mandatory for students attending public school by 2018.  For this assignment you will need to discuss the effectiveness of immunizations and discuss the pros and cons of implementing mandatory vaccinations across Canada. 

This assignment should maximum of 3 pages, double spaced, 12 point font (not including your reference page).

Throughout the assignment, please answer the following questions: 

Describe why vaccinations are an effective means of eradicating certain infectious diseases.  /2
What reasons would individuals have for refusing vaccinations? Why have the rates of certain infectious diseases increased recently (like measles, mumps, whooping cough)?  /3
Using research from reliable sources (NOT WIKAPEDIA; think Health Canada, Academic Journals, Alberta Health, Alberta Health Services) discuss the pros and cons of making vaccines mandatory (4 marks for pros, 4 marks for cons)
Should vaccines be mandatory in Canada? Write 3-5 sentences about your opinion on mandatory vaccinations. How did you arrive at your opinion?  /5
Proper reference list with APA Referencing /2

Assignment 3 Health Claims 

There is a lot of health information out there and everyone has a spin on it. Some of it is valid, important, well researched information. Other information is less accurate in their claims. It is an important skill to be able to decipher between what is a fictitious claim and what is accurate. For this assignment please chose ONE of the following claims, decide whether it is true or not based on the research you do, cite relevant research to show why you made your decision about whether it is true or not, and describe the pros and cons of the claim. 

The Paleo Diet is the most effective way to lose weight 
Coconut oil is the healthiest fat your can eat 
Cross fit training is the only way to get strong and lean
Exercise will always create weight loss without changing your diet 

Answer the following questions: 

Describe the health claim (e.g. what is the paleo diet) and why the claim might be considered true by some people /5
Using research from reliable sources (NOT WIKAPEDIA; think Health Canada, Academic Journals, Alberta Health, dieticians of Canada) make an argument for why this health claim is true or not true. /10 (2 marks for your why statement & 6 points for integrating relevant, reliable research, 2 mark for properly using APA).

For example: It is recommended for pregnant women to exercise throughout their pregnancy if they don’t have complications, although they should check with their doctors before starting an exercise program (Healthwise Staff, 2016). Healthwise Staff (2016) has used research in their recommendations from the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC); therefore I believe that it is safe for most women to exercise during pregnancy because both HealthLink BC where the Healthwise Staff work and SOGC are reliable sources of information. 

Write 3-5 sentences about why as a health care professional it is important to check sources of information, dates, and know what the most current research is saying?  /3
Proper reference list with APA Referencing /2 

The maximum length of the assignment is 3 pages (Not counting reference page) 

12 point font, double spaced

No title page required

Throughout nursing school and the growing times of today, the importance of cultural competency as a future health care provider has been embedded in my head. Cultural competency is especially important in the United States due to diverse communities. Sadly, “medical practice in the Western world has been shaped by a particular set of ethical norms” (Malek, 2017). Specifically, in the pregnant population, culture has a large impact on the mother’s decisions that affect their self and fetus’ health care. 

There are many decisions an expectant mother must make for her, as well as her child’s health. During pregnancy “culture determines how the future mother will perceive her pregnancy and prepare for her motherhood” (Sharapova and Ratcliff, 2018). A prime example of a difficult decision a mother in labor has to make is whether or not they want medications to alleviate the pain they are experiencing. It is common knowledge to know that giving birth is discomforting and painful but it is “their culture and religious belief system that determine how they will perceive, interpret, respond to, and manage the pain” (Lowdermilk, 2020). Some women choose to endure the pain so that they are not perceived as weak for asking for medications to ease the pain. 

Another important decision that a mother must make is whether or not they want to breastfeed their child. A study by Jones et al. (2015) examined the factors that impacted the choice of breastfeeding or not with different cultures. An example from Jones’ et al. (2015) study found that “least accultured Mexican Americans had the highest rates of breastfeeding initiation whereas those who were most acculturated exhibited the lowest rates of breastfeeding initiation.” It is interesting to see that although people may share a similar culture/ethnicity can still have differences due to acculturation.

Culture is such a complex topic because there are just so many different types. Although we may be taught some cultural differences in school, it is just a quick generalization of them. As a health care provider, it is still crucial to do additional research to gain more knowledge and aspect of other cultures. A study by Kang (2014) found that “when providers assign limited and generalized cultural understanding and meanings to an identified ethnic group, they gloss over the intricate within-group diversity as well as the complex social and historical contexts within which those cultural meanings may exist.” The more that we educate ourselves and dive deeper in the context of culture, the more likely our patients will have greater outcomes.
