Description: Compose an informative essay that explores a new technological development in your field of study. For example, you might choose to explore drone delivery if you are in the IMCT pathway, virtual reality for STEM, or digitized textbooks if you are pursuing Education. (If you need more details about Broward College’s various career pathways, visit the “Programs and Degrees” webpage.) In addition to explaining to your audience about the technology, you must also argue whether or not you believe this technology is ultimately beneficial to the field, elaborating why or why not by exploring potential applications, dangers, and/or limitations. For instance, while digitized textbooks may sound like a novel resource in education, what about students who do not have regular or reliable internet access? In order to help you to explain your technology, you should conduct research on your topic and incorporate quotations and/or paraphrases from three outside sources within your essay. Note: When composing an informative essay, you must achieve accuracy and disclosure throughout your writing. In other words, always endeavor to present correct information (reinforced through your research and outside sources), and be sure that you provide your reader with sufficient background and detail about your topic, especially considering that they may not be familiar with this technology. Assessment: Your grade will derive from your abilities to explain your topic using a variety of specific details and examples (as well as language appropriate to multiple audiences), to argue a clear claim/thesis regarding the benefits and/or drawbacks of this technology, and to organize your thoughts in an effective and logical style to help your reader clearly understand your ideas. Consult the Essay Rubric for a detailed list of the criteria that comprise A, B, C, D, and F essays. Requirements: You should submit a 1000 word essay (not counting the work cited page), typed and double-spaced. Use Times New Roman font in 12-pt size. Format your paper according to MLA guidelines.

One of the most divisive and economically pressing questions in U.S. domestic policy over the last several decades has been healthcare. The United States spends twice as much in terms of Gross Domestic Product on healthcare as the next biggest spender in the advanced world, and yet our average lifespan is less than most of the countries on the list. The debate in the U.S. is over whether or not healthcare should be a part our larger commercial system, and hence accessed through private insurers giving the consumer more “choice,” or whether healthcare access should be guaranteed to all through either a hybrid public/private system (like Obamacare) or a more robust public system in which healthcare is guaranteed to all residents through a government-run healthcare program, with a potential downside of having less “choice” in such a system. Public polling suggests that there is no bigger public policy issue that Americans care about as much as healthcare at this point in our nation’s history. For the discussion, which of the various options listed above (or options that you have researched on your own) do you support as the way forward for the American healthcare system? Explain your answer, arguing for its superiority over the other options.

1.Identify some ways that nursing homes can signal high quality to consumers. Which of these are most apt to be reliable signals? 2.What are some strategies for reducing adverse selection in insurance markets? What sorts of problems do these solutions cause? 3.Compared with a drip system, a new type of infusion pump reduces the cost of administering chemotherapy from $25 per dose to $20 per dose. The complication rate of each system is 2 percent. Which should you choose? What sort of analysis should you do? 4.You are comparing replacing the current lab, which has a cost function of C = 200,000 + 25 × Q, with an automated lab that has a cost function of C = 300,000 + 20 × Q. Doing so would reduce the error rate from 1.5 percent to 1 percent. Your volume is expected to be 18,000 tests per year. Should you choose the automated lab? Briefly explain your logic.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Research Article Critique: HIV in Pregnancy. Your paper should be a minimum of 3250 words in length. The authors’ research study was to determine whether antiretroviral therapies decrease mother-to-child transmission of HIV. It also sought to determine to what extent the therapies are clinically useful in decreasing transmission risk. The effects of these interventions on infant and maternal mortality and morbidity rates were also examined. My examination focuses systematically on specific areas of the research study article. It will focus on these aspects in terms of the process, validity of the research methods, and results. This study is vital in the sense that it helps in identifying the right combination therapy in suppressing HIV replication. This helps in improving the clinical status and the immune system of children and adults living with HIV/AIDS (Faden, & Kass, 1996). The second article determines the relationship between the vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and elective cesarean section. But not all findings in the study are properly done to comprehensively validate the study results. Therefore, there is a need to critically put forth the worth of each study and the evidence provided by the researchers, thus appraising these studies. The title of the study define clearly what the study is all about, that is, to investigate whether antiretroviral therapies decrease the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission in the first article and to evaluate the relationship between HIV-1 vertical transmission and elective cesarean section in the second article. The study population, a brief description of the methodology and the key outcomes being investigated are all included in the title of the second study: The Mode of Delivery and the Risk of Vertical Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 — A Meta-Analysis of 15 Prospective Cohort Studies. This does not apply to the first article: Antiretroviral drugs for reducing risks of mother-to-child HIV infection and transmission.

Introduction Gorham’s disease is a rare osteolytic disease of the bone characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of vascular and lymphatic channels within bone leading to resorption (Avelar, et al., 2010). The lost bone tissue is replaced by angiomas and fibrosis. Although the etiology of the disease is still uncertain, it does not seem to have a genetic component. Most researches attribute this disease to increased osteoclastic activity within bone that leads to vascular and lymphatic proliferation. The disease is characterized by gradual resorption of bone particularly the bones of shoulder, skull, thorax and spine although long bones may also be affected. Focal pain and limited motion (Danron, et al., 1993) may or may not be associated with injuries and results in fractures that classically do not heal. Later stages may involve functional and aesthetic problems. The diagnosis of the disease depends upon X-rays and bone scans but relies mainly on clinical findings. The disease has yet to be cured and only multiple palliative options are available. Case Report A 45 year old male presented in the maxillofacial department with complaints of right sided facial asymmetry and consequent functional and aesthetic problems.

Discussion question 1:Social justice refers to the benefits and disparities that members of society experience (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). There are three theories on how one achieves social justice: egalitarian, libertarian, and liberal democratic (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Egalitarianism advocates for the government ensuring equal rights and treatment by all members of society (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Libertarianism recognizes the right to equality and liberty, while advocating for the right to private property and minimal to no government control or intervention, relying on individuals to determine their own fate (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Liberal democratic ideology encompasses both the belief that we all have the right to liberty and equality, while recognizing, and attempting to compensate for both organic and inorganic disadvantages that are acquired from time of birth to time of death (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016).A public health nurse should focus on promoting and ensuring wellness to all persons in a way that is cost effective, indiscriminate, and allows autonomy (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). This is difficult to achieve when we have documented issues of socioeconomic disparities that can be demonstrated when people are categorized by race, sex, gender, and sexual orientation (US Census Bureau, 2020). While going over our weekly reading I came across the term “assurance”. Assurance is making sure that health services are available, including to those who would not otherwise receive them (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). This can be a daunting initiative when dealing with some of the most marginalized segments of society (homeless, transgender, undocumented persons etc.), who frequently abstain from seeking medical treatment (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016).Eliminating, or even minimizing healthcare disparities, needs to extend beyond the healthcare system and into society at large. Law makers and community leaders need to work together to figure out why data shows that socioeconomic disparities are so prevalent amongst clearly defined groups. Unfortunately, listening to narrative commentary on any news channel or a simple scroll through social media shows that we aren’t making much progress on these issues. Even worse, decades of research has indicated that there is systemic racism in the U.S. health system (Feagin & Bennefield, 2014). So, what can a nurse do? Can we change the healthcare industry when this is a societal problem? I think it is important that we advocate for an ethical standard in our respective workplaces, that encompasses fair and equal treatment to not only our patients, but also our coworkers. I have witnessed obvious differences in treatment of both groups that is dependent on any number of demographic categories. I am curious if other members of the class have experienced the same.Discussion Questions #2:Does the constitution guarantee the right to pursue happiness? Nope, not in there. Does the constitution guarantee everyone the right to fairness? Again no. Who says life is fair? Why does one person get to live long enough to obtain their senior discounted coffee at McDonald’s, and the other die young? Should society bear the responsibility for the poor life choices made by its members? What the constitution does guarantee is equality under the law. The law applies to everyone regardless of skin color, religion, sex, or national origin. Equality, however, does not imply uniformity. Communism attempts to enforce uniformity on society, suppressing the rights and privileges of its members (Novak, 2019).Health care in the United States is not equitable. With insurance provided through my job, I can acquire preventive healthcare services that are generally not provided during an ED visit. One of the roles of public health is to assure that essential community health services are available for everyone (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Nurses should advocate for the disenfranchised, working to ensure that essential health care resources are available for all people, and public policy should support nursings’ efforts to provide equitable care for every member of society (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Equality should not be just for the healthcare sector but for all areas of life that affect health. Healthy, fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables should be available to all at affordable prices. Community resources that support healthy activities such as parks and recreation should be available to all, regardless of what community in which they reside. Equitable does not mean free; rather, it is equitable that all members of society should share in the burden of public services (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016).As members of society, personal responsibility is necessary for law and order. Personal responsibility must be balanced with free rights. The “common good” is often spoken of as something noble, but quickly becomes totalitarianism in the hands of politicians (Novak, 2019).
