Do a reflection paper on an instance when you have been deviant in the past.

First, review the sections on Research Ethics and the subsection on Testing a Hypothesis under the section Research Methods in chapter one of your text in order to familiarize yourself with sociological experiments. Then, begin this assignment by choosing a folkway to violate. Examples include (and there are many folkways to choose from): wearing the other gender’s clothing, speaking a foreign language to an English speaker, sitting with a stranger at a restaurant, and eating dinner with your hands. Be sure to ask your facilitator if you are unsure if the norm you choose to violate is appropriate for this assignment. Do a reflection paper on an instance when you have been deviant in the past. A reflection paper must contain analysis and integrate concepts from the text.

Do you think mothers should be allowed to make this body altering decision for their sons at birth or should only fathers make this decision or should the decision be made by the child when he is at an age to make such a big decision?

Circumcision has often been a highly discussed topic in society. There are pros and cons on both sides and the pendulum tends to swing one way or the other depending on the decade. First, think of your own thoughts on circumcision. Are you for or against? Do you think mothers should be allowed to make this body altering decision for their sons at birth or should only fathers make this decision or should the decision be made by the child when he is at an age to make such a big decision? Now that you have thought about male circumcision for a few moments, explain how male circumcision is any different from female circumcision. Is one worse than the other? Why or why not? Read page 29 in your text, Female Genital Cutting, and explain how this is any better or worse than male circumcision.  This 2nd discussion will be in place of a written assignment for this week.

What are your suggestions for prevention, control and or treatment of any of these cancers?

Discussion Board 1: The Role of Infectious Agents in Oncogenesis In this week’s discussion board, you are expected to extensvely research (begin by reading chapter 6 of The Molecular Basis of Cancer textbook, by Mendelsohn et al) and write on the topic – The Role of Infectious Agents in Oncogenesis. You are required to use the outline sketched out below as a guide (you should not restrict yourself to it – it is the minimal requirement; you may go beyond). Basic Outline: –    Introduction and history of infectious agents and oncogenesis –    Identify at least five (5) infectious agents that play a role in oncogenesis –    For each infectious agent, discuss the following; What cancer(s) is it associated with its development? What is (are) the oncogenic factor(s) in the infectious agent? What is (are) the mechanism(s) of oncogenesis? What are your suggestions for prevention, control and or treatment of any of these cancers? In your replies, you will analyze the posts of any two of your classmates and identify any new information you may have gleaned from their writings, address any omissions or inaccuracies you observe, make relevant scientific contributions to the discussion and ask for clarifications on any unclear areas in the person’s post.

Identify the significant symptoms by underlining them in the assessment.

Case Scenario: Y.Y. Total Hip Replacement YY  is going to be discharged in a few days. She will need physical therapy, and, because she will have limited ability to ambulate, she will not be able to return to her own home without someone to care for her. She has only one child who is 60 years old and lives in a city that is many miles away. You have given YY excellent physical care that has prevented complications related to her surgery such as problems with elimination, respiratory problems, and risk for infection. Her physical needs that seemed overwhelming on admission appear less important now as you listen to Yolanda Yost state her feelings. What can you do to help her? All of what she says is true. She will need help with her care, at least temporarily. She probably will not be able to go home or live independently until she is able to care for herself. YY states that she will not be able to care for herself, and nothing can be done about her situation. She frequently cries when you attempt to speak to her about her problems. When you try to involve her in care, she says, “Why should I care for myself? I can’t go home anyway.” Nursing Assessment YY is an 80-year-old woman who has fallen and fractured her hip. She has had a total hip replacement and a rapid recovery for someone her age. Her vital signs are stable, and she has minimal pain. Her pain is relieved with oral analgesic medications. You have made a referral to the social work department and anticipate that YY will have to be discharged to a long-term care facility for rehabilitation. In the meantime, you wonder what you can do to help YY to cope with her situation. As you review her history and her symptoms, you see a pattern emerging. Yolanda Yost believes that no matter what she does, her actions will not affect the outcome. She believes that she has no control over her situation. A. ASSESS 1. Identify the significant symptoms by underlining them in the assessment. 2. List those symptoms (those you have underlined) that indicate the client has a health problem. 3. Group the symptoms that are similar. B. DIAGNOSE 1. Select possible nursing diagnoses for this client. Do this by looking at the list of nursing diagnoses in NANDA 2018-2020.pdf Actions Possible nursing diagnoses: 2. Validate the possible nursing diagnoses. Compare the signs and symptoms (defining characteristics) that you have identified from your client assessment with the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis that you have selected.

Is there an illness or injury that stands out for you as a major event in a loved one’s life?

quote All of us have had experiences being sick, taking care of sick friends or family, being in the hospital or visiting a doctor. In class, we want to explore those experiences in greater depth to understand how humans make meaning out of them and if we can respond to ours and each other’s experiences with empathy. We also want to explore how the humanities can help us understand our own experiences in a different way. Your Narrative Is there an illness or injury that stands out for you or was a major event in your life? For this assignment, tell a story in the first person describing your experience with the illness or injury and with the health care system because of the illness or injury. Or, is there an illness or injury that stands out for you as a major event in a loved one’s life? Maybe you were a caregiver for the person and you can write from this perspective. Or maybe they shared their journey with you by talking to you about it. Or, to help share their story, you may feel free to interview the person with non-intrusive, open-ended questions, and practice listening with empathy. In this case, be sure to take a few notes and immediately after the interview, free write while the conversation is fresh in your mind.

Interview:Identify each person’s class, race, and gender, supporting your work with the text and/or outside resources.

Identify each person’s class, race, and gender, supporting your work with the text and/or outside resources. What role has class, race, and gender played in their lives? How do you see these stratifiers as playing a role, even if the interviewee is unaware of it? Apply one of the sociological perspectives to the individuals’ lives. Why did you choose this particular perspective? How does it explain each person’s life and life choices? What are some of the benefits and limitations to using interview as a research methodology? Analyze each person’s specific components of culture and relate them to his/her stratified position in society.
