Sex Offender Commitment COLLAPSE A sex offender is convicted and sentenced to a long jail term. Say 10 years. After serving their sentence rather than being released they are civilly committed and remain incarcerated at a mental health facility? Is this ethical? Why or why not? If you agree with the commitment what if any conditions would you place on the confinement? Would they stay confined forever? What factors should be considered? Right to Vote COLLAPSE One of the common punishments of being convicted for a felony is that in most states you lose your right to vote, forever? Is this ethical?

Summarize an article regarding the importance of proper dosage calculation in nursing care. Must have at least 1 in-text citation Reference in APA Format

this is for my discussion board assignment for the class managerial epidemiology  In 2-3 paragraphs, discuss the difference between healthcare “needs” and “wants.” How are they the same? How do they differ? Are there any “needs” that could also be considered “wants?” Why or why not?

Week 3: Health-Related Research and Regulations How do you balance the need to advance health-related research to cure disease with the requirement to protect the patient and “do no harm”? This is the challenge at the root of all advances in health. Health researchers who are exploring new cutting-edge therapeutic procedures, developing medications, and engineering advanced medical devices are constantly working on this delicate balance. In Week 2, you were introduced to the doctrine of informed consent and the role that it plays in allowing professionals to ethically and legally treat patients. This week, you will expand on that information and consider the critically important role that informed consent plays in health-related research. You will also continue to explore how decisions are made concerning who will receive scarce and expensive medical care. Learning Objectives Students will: Analyze the components of informed consent Identify key terms and concepts related to privacy, confidentiality, and liability Identify key ethical and legal terms associated with health-related research, regulation, and the allocation of scarce healthcare resources Learning Resources Required Readings Judson, K., & Harrison, C.

Download the Week 3 Discussion Scenarios (located in the Learning Resources). Choose two scenarios for your Discussion. By Day 4 Post a comprehensive response to the following: For each scenario, decide if informed consent was obtained properly. If it was, then explain why you think it was. Be specific. If it was not, then explain wherein the informed consent process a procedure was not followed. Be specific. For each scenario, explain how you would improve the informed consent process to make sure consent to treat a patient is obtained correctly. Be specific and provide examples. Imagine yourself as a health provider (like the providers in the scenarios). What would you do to make sure that informed consent to treat is always done correctly? Note: Initial postings must be 250-350 words (not including references). Support your Discussion and peer responses with in-text citations and references from specific Learning Resources. Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings. By Day 6 Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ by addressing the following: Expand further on why informed consent was or was not properly obtained in the scenario and offer additional recommendations for obtaining proper informed consent. Offer additional recommendations for providers to ensure that proper informed consent is obtained in all circumstances. In addition, you may also respond as follows (optional): Offer and support an opinion Validate an idea with your own experience Make a suggestion or comment that guides or facilitates the discussion Submission and Grading Information Grading Criteria To access your rubric: Week 3 Discussion Rubric Post by Day 4 and Respond by Day 6 To participate in this Discussion: Week 3 Discussion

Compare the population health of the United States to any other country by answering the following questions: What do statistics/data tell us about health outcomes in general of each country? What specific diseases are endemic and have been epidemic? What inequalities are evident from your research? What resources are available to those with low incomes? What type of governmental assistance is available and to whom? How much of the countries’ GDPs are allocated to health care services? What are some documented cases/events showing healthcare leaders playing key roles in population health improvement?

Please make a table as in pc1 includes the numbers for social determinants with calculations. follow the instruction in pc2. Please  focus on sentences that need to change or add in yellow color.   Please fix no. 4a by adding trends for social determinants such as in the trends need to show 1) does the economic decline in the New York city overtime and think that may be related to whatever trends and chronic conditions that we saw. 2) Did employment rate go down? did income go down? did major industry decline in the area? has food access got worse because economic decline? did alcohol use go up because economic decline? explain what we are thinking(justification) in no. 4b some ways that think urban planning or developer or policy change could be address these things what we think? Please listen to the audio lecture too. Please always put the justification and why you choose this choice. Please put citation texts and add references in the reference list. Please make the summary at the end of the assignment. It’s OK to use the most recent year you can find, within reason.  For example, 5 year old data might be acceptable, but 20 year old data would not be. When responding to questions where we ask for your choice or what decision you would make, please provide some context and reasoning that explains why you made the choice you made.  In other words, back up your choice with reasoning and evidence

A.     Explain in your own words Joel Feinberg’s central claims and argument and about the morality of abortion. B.     Explain in your own words Dom Marquis’ central claims and argument and about the morality of abortion. C.      C. Explain your own views about the morality of abortion and how and how they compare/contrast with Feinberg and Marquis. D.     D. In the unit notes I gave you two somewhat detailed consistent human life ethics (CHLE) theories: the Mackie model and the Bernardin-John Paul model.  Later I gave you five brief descriptions, which include the Bernardin-John Paul theory as CHLE  2 and the Mackie theory as CHLE 4.  Explain how your views about the morality of abortion are consistent with the CHLE you consider most logically sound  and each component of your moral ID.

Summary: A theory can be used to guide practice.  This assignment is an exercise in supporting a clinical practice with theory and evidence. Directions: Identify an outcome of nursing practice in your area of practice that can be improved.  For example, if you work in home health, you may identify that throw rug use by fall risk patients is too prevalent.  You may be able to use the problem that inspired the theory concepts that you developed in week two. Identify the concept in Watson’s Theory of Caring that could represent or include the outcome.  In our example, the outcome would be the changes in self through the change in the patient’s floor covering practice. Identify a practice that can be changed or implemented that may influence the outcome. Identify the concept in Watson’s Theory of Caring that includes the practice.  In our example, the practice could be to improve the understanding of fall hazards through the engagement in a teaching-learning experience, one of Watson’s Caritas Processes. Identify exactly how these two concepts will be measured with their operational definitions. Develop a proposition between the two. Present your outcome in an APA formatted paper  meeting the University’s standards for a written assignment. Length: 5 to 7 pages including title and reference pages References: 3 to 10.  There should be enough to support the links between the concepts of the problem and the concepts of Watson’s Theory of Caring.
