Can you help me understand this Health & Medical question?

For each topic, find a health science example of it in a published research study or news article. Summarize how your topic is used in the example. Do you think a different data type would be better? 

Topic: Median

Using the “How Healthy Is Your Community?” search tool, on the County Health Rankings & Roadmap website, look up your county’s health ranking report. Choose a health problem in your community according to your county’s health ranking report. You may use the same one you chose during Unit 2.

Review the list of potential community partners on the healthycommunities.org “Community Engagement” page. Identify at least four stakeholders you could engage with to address the health problem, and do the following:

1. Describe how each of the identified stakeholders are part of the public health system.
2. Discuss the linkages between the stakeholders.
3. Describe how the stakeholders will contribute to addressing the health issue (assessment, program development, program implementation, etc.).
4. Summarize why it is important to work with the chosen stakeholders to address community health issues.

Need help with my Nursing question – I’m studying for my class.

Topic: Palliative Care

Case Study

Mr. Brown, who was your eighth-grade science teacher, has been a patient in your practice for many years. Several years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer and has been undergoing treatments. He recently was told that his cancer was no longer responding to treatments and that his condition is terminal. Mr. Brown, along with his wife and daughter, have scheduled an appointment to discuss palliative care and what can be expected. Although Mr. Brown’s death is not imminent, his care needs clearly will continue to increase, and they will continue until his eventual death from the disease. The disease process is typically accompanied by an increasing level of pain, which is of great concern to Mr. Brown and his family. The meeting today is intended to determine whether the patient and the family feel that palliative care is appropriate.

Case Questions

1. What are some open-ended questions that can be asked to explore the need for palliative care?
2. The decision is made to proceed with palliative care, and a plan to manage pain is being developed in partnership with Mr. Brown and his family. What does total pain management entail, and why is managing total pain important to the well-being of Mr. Brown and his family?
3. How should Mr. Brown’s spiritual well-being be evaluated, and why is it part of total pain management?
4. As you learn that Mr. Brown’s level of pain has increased since his treatments ended, you suggest the use of opioids for pain management. Mr. Brown’s daughter expresses concern about the use of opioids to manage pain, stating, “Aren’t opioids bad? I hear about people dying from opioid abuse on the news all the time.” What information should you provide to assuage the daughter’s concern?
5. As the disease process progresses, the patient begins to demonstrate signs of dyspnea, including confusion and anxiety. What treatment should be initiated, and what are important considerations when initiating this treatment?

Directions: After reading chapter 17 “The Endocrine System” and watching the video on the endocrine system answer the following question(s) below: The minimum word count to the initial discussion board question(s) should be a total of 200 words and a minimum of two (2) pictures or more (excluding references and reinstatement of the discussion board questions). The pictures can be drawn comic scripts and attach /scan as a word or PDF doc., or jpeg.

Discussion #2 Activity:

1. Faster than a speeding hormone! More powerful than a pair of parathyroids! Able to reach distant target receptors in a single bound! Well, you get the picture. The endocrine system does some pretty amazing stuff. And here’s your chance to capture all of its dramatic flair in a comic strip.

-Using the course textbook and or Internet research the parts and functions of the endocrine system. Then choose the one part/function of the endocrine system that interests you most. It could be the pituitary, the pea-sized “master gland.” Or maybe it’s the hormone adrenaline that revs you up. Or maybe you’re positively pumped about the negative feedback system. Whatever you choose, make sure your cartoon uses words and images to tell a story and show what you known about that particular part or function of the endocrine system.

–Your experiences may be very helpful and interesting to all of us. However, be sure that you also back up your posts with factual information from the text (when it applies to the initial discussion board question (s) and responses to peers) or other creditable sources. A minimum of one (1) reference is required to support your response to the discussion question. You may cite the course required textbook and or other sources from which you have used content. Make sure your references are in APA format.

“In other words: The cartoon/comic part is a creative way to see and show how the part of the Endocrine system of choice functions. Within your initial posting you can discuss the following:

-The endocrine system’s importance, function, etc.

-Choose the part of the endocrine system that interests you the most.

-Discuss the part of interest (Functions, etc.).

-Locate or create a comic strip (use a minimum of two (2) pictures or more/ and scripts) utilizing the part of your choice. The pictures can be drawn comic scripts and attach /scan as a word or PDF doc., or jpeg.

– Include a min. of one (1) reference in APA format.

Have Fun with this discussion and be creative!

Behavior Modification Project Part 4 – Final Report (50 points)

At the end of the four-week journal period, write a final report consisting of a 3-4 page (750-1,000 words) discussion of the following questions. This report must be submitted in Microsoft Word doc or docx format and will be graded for detailed discussion of the required questions below as well as writing quality, grammar, and spelling.

1. The new behavior: Describe, specifically, how your behavior has changed from the beginning of this project.

2. New conditioned stimuli: In the beginning you were asked to identify objects or events you would associate with the new behavior to help it become established. Discuss how effective these stimuli become associated with the new behavior? Did any of these cues backfire on you? If so, why do you think they did not work? Did you adopt any other stimulus cues along the way to help make the behavioral change?

3. The reinforcements for the new behavior: How effective were the reinforcements and the reinforcement schedule that you chose? Did the type or schedule of reinforcement that you chose hinder your progress in any way? If so, how, and why do you think that was? Did other types of reinforcements occur to you that you might consider using in the future?

4. Behavioral changes: Since making this change in your behavior, have you noticed other behaviors that have changed as well? Why do you think these additional changes occurred? Of these additional changes (if any) were you expecting these to occur? If so, why? Did any additional changes occur that you did not anticipate?

6. Results: To what degree was the change successful? Again, refer back to Parts 1 and 2 to review your reasons for the change and the goals you had. Plausible explanations for success or failure should be highlighted. If your plan failed, propose an alternative plan that might be more successful in the future. If your plan succeeded, discuss a brief plan to help you maintain the change.
