Identify objectives that will combat childhood and adolescent obesity.

Child and Adolescent Health Risks As you discovered in this week’s lectures and readings, several populations face multiple health risks across their lifespan. Children and adolescents are a population that is at a higher health risk for obesity. A national movement is underway to reduce risk factors for developing obesity in children. Part of this movement is the “Let’s Move!” campaign, which is a comprehensive and coordinated initiative to prevent childhood obesity. The initiative emphasizes four primary components: healthy schools, access to affordable and healthy food, raising children’s physical activity levels, and empowering families to make healthy choices. Review Healthy People 2020: Identify risk factors for childhood obesity. Do the risk factors differ and how do they differ between children and adolescents? Identify objectives that will combat childhood and adolescent obesity. Provide suggestions on how community health nurses can contribute to these national health objectives and accomplish the goal of decreasing obesity among this population.

What is our collective responsibility to mitigate climate change.

Please complete the following:

Many argue that we have a collective responsibility to mitigate the ongoing and potential harms of climate change. What, if any, are our individual moral obligations to mitigate these harms?

Formulate a one sentence moral principle that reflects your view. e.g. “individuals are morally obligated not to emit more than x tons of carbon a year” or “individuals should publicly reproach elected leaders for accepting money from the fossil fuel industry.” Alternatively, you can formulate a conditional moral claim, e.g. “if an individual lives in America, they are morally obligated to x.”

Give two reasons in support of your claim, and respond to one possible objection. Be purposeful and concise in your writing. You are welcome to restate an author’s argument, e.g. Booth’s argument “we are morally obligated not to be bystanders to climate change” but should be specific about what you think counts as bystanding, and offer at least one original reason for why that kind of bystanding is wrong.

(Please do not go above 500 words). I will upload the helpful resources although you can get inspiration from any outside article. Only cite if using the articles I uploaded.

Patient Preferences and Decision Making.

Discussion: Patient Preferences and Decision Making

Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex.

What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?
In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.

To Prepare:
• Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.
• Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/.
o Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.

NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO NOT use the patient’s real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice.

Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how including patient preferences and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.
