Discuss which environmental factors might cause an asthma attack.

The following story and questions are designed to stimulate critical thinking through class discussion or as a brief essay response. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions.
Sylvia Gaylord works as a legal aide on the 12th floor of a tall glass-and-steel monument to modem architectural technology. On clear days, the views are spectacular. From her cubicle, Sylvia’s eye catches the edge of the beautiful blue-and-white skyscaper as she reaches for her inhaler. This is the third attack since she returned from lunch 4 hours ago-her asthma is really bad today. But if she leaves work early again, her boss will write her up for it. Sylvia concentrates on breathing normally.
Her roommate, Kelly, is a respiratory therapist at the county hospital Kelly says Sylvia’s asthma attacks are probably triggered by the city’s high level of air pollution. That can’t be true. They both run in the park every morning before work, and Sylvia rarely needs to use her inhaler. The problems start when she gets to work. The wheezing and coughing were so bad today that by the time she got up the elevator and into her cubicle, she could hardly breathe.
Last night, the cable news ran a story on the unhealthy air found in some buildings. They called it “sick building syndrome” and reported that certain employees developed allergic reactions just by breathing the air. “Hmmm,” she thought, “It seems like more and more people are getting sick in our office. John has had the flu twice. Sid’s bronchitis turned into bronchopneumonia, and Hui complains of sinusitis. Could this building have an air quality problem?”

Discuss how social media can impact the present and future outlook on health care analytics.

Healthcare Analytics; Regulations, Clinical Quality, and Patient Safety

As many healthcare facilities seek to implement analytical patient quality and clinical value in collaboration with electronic health record management. Automated algorithms are capable of sifting through thousands of patient records to identify potential clinical errors and systematically measure patient safety in ways never before anticipated (Davenport, 2014). Discuss how social media can impact the present and future outlook on health care analytics.

Discuss one or more of these issues: What was the reaction of Americans to the large number of immigrants arriving from Europe, particularly Eastern Europe, in the early 1900’s?

There are six short answer questions that must be answered. They are part of discussion posts that need to be completed. Each answer needs to be 5 sentences long and demonstrate some historical evidence, in addition to your personal opinion, in order to receive full credit. It is also expected that your contributions will be carefully written, with minimal spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors.

The short answer questions:

1) Discuss one or more of these issues: What was the reaction of Americans to the large number of immigrants arriving from Europe, particularly Eastern Europe, in the early 1900’s? Why, since the U.S. was a country of immigrants, did the citizens react to immigrants in this manner? Was immigration a genuine “problem” in the 1920’s, or were the perceived difficulties just exaggerated by a group of ultra-conservative alarmists? Compare the reaction then with events concerning immigration today. What are the similarities and differences? Is immigration a problem for the country in the 21st Century?

2)How much responsibility should the federal government take in guaranteeing its citizens a minimum standard of living? How much is too much? Should we move even further in this direction (such as national health care)? Or should we move back to placing more emphasis on the state, local government, or on the individuals, themselves?

3) Did the West (the United States, England, France) do as much as could be reasonably expected during World War II to prevent the extermination of European Jews?

4) In what ways were the civil rights struggles for blacks and Hispanics similar? How were they dissimilar?

5) Should the U.S. have gotten involved in Vietnam? Once involved, was it a winnable conflict? What could the nation have done differently to have gained a victory?

6) Is the current conflict in Afghanistan comparable to the Vietnam conflict? In what ways is it the same? How is it different?

When answering these questions, just put it in a word document and copy and paste the questions onto the document and have them bolded. Then add the answers below each question.

It doesn’t actually have to be 550 words, just make sure each answer is 5 sentences long.
