Explain nutrition and describe what learning techniques you used to master the material.

Nutrition is the study of how our bodies digest and use biologically-important macromolecules. These are used to support growth, homeostasis, and tissue repair. Common nutrients include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals. The metabolic rate of the body is how it consumes energy, and this can be affected by many factors, including age and level of activity and environment. One important effect of metabolism is that heat is given off as a waste product of the reaction, but this heat can be used to maintain a stable internal temperature within the body.



Topics covered included:

Nutrition and the factors that influence eating and satiety
Nutrients including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals
Factors that affect metabolic rate
Temperature regulation in the body

In the article Managing to Improve Quality (attached): The Relationship Between Accreditation Standards, Safety Practices, and Patient Outcomes, the authors discuss the growing trend by medical insurance companies to eliminate reimbursement for Never Events. As these types of mistakes should be easily preventable, hospitals have developed protocols to lessen or extinguish the occurrence of these events. In addition, The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have developed core measures to guide health care providers efforts in improving patient safety and the quality of care delivered.
Health care organizations have developed strategic agendas to help meet these standards and reduce the incidence of Never Events. Nurses significantly influence the overall quality of health care provided and play a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes.
For this Discussion, you will consider the standards that are in place for nurses and how they ca

Create a concept map showing the relationship of health disparities, ethical considerations, and human rights for a condition affecting a high-risk or vulnerable population. You will also identify at least one human rights group/organization that would assist with this population or condition. Your concept map should:
    Identify the main concept (a condition affecting a high-risk or vulnerable population)
    Describe the supporting subtopics of:
o    Health disparities impacting the population globally
o    Ethical considerations (three or more)
o    Human rights from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (three or more)
o    Human rights group or organization that would assist with this population or condition (one or more)

there are tables that list many more high-, middle-, or low- mid-range theories. If one of the theories in the tables appeals to you, use library resources (Nursing Research Guides) or internet to find more about the theory.

1. Provide an overview of the theory (2-3 paragraphs) (3 pts)

2. Evaluate the theory by addressing the following criteria. See Chapter 10, "Analysis and Evaluation of Middle Range Theory," p. 219 (5th ed.) (3 pts):

a. Are the assumptions specified and congruent with the focus of the theory?

b. Is the theory rooted in (developed from) practice experience or research?

c. Are the concepts clearly defined and are relationships between concepts clearly delineated?

d. How broadly applicable is the theory?  to numerous patients populations or few? numerous care contexts or few?

3. Using the theory's underlying assumptions, stated purpose and concepts, argue your position on Leann's action (2-3 paragraphs) (4 pts)

RESPOND TO:
Western approach to healthcare relies on several core competencies to care, of which, Cultural Competency is one. In Yoder-Wise (2019, p. 69), Campinha- Bacote defined it as the process in which the healthcare provider continuously strives to achieve the ability to effectively work with the cultural context of a client. It is the expectation that a provider should ensure that all healthcare treatment and care are accessible to all patients, that patients receive respectful, quality care compatible with their cultural health beliefs, and that healthcare members be sensitive to all cultural backgrounds. Without practicing culturally competent care, it can lead to unsafe care and poor patient outcomes (Yoder-Wise, 2019, p.

In a local home healthcare agency, nurses are using their personal cell phones to email and text physicians, the agency, and local hospitals. The agency is considering providing the nurse's company cell phones with a secure login. There are advantages and disadvantages of each option.
