...(Mandal, n.d., p.1). Every hour of every day, another person is diagnosed with Diabetes. More than 471 million people live with Diabetes every day, and there are about 13,000 newly diagnosed everyday (Diabetic Care Services, 2013, p. 1). Some of these people will not only be insulin dependent for life but they must change their entire family’s lifestyle. Not only does Diabetes effect the person who was diagnosed, but it affects friends and family, they must learn to live and adjust to have a diabetic in the family. Psychosocial issues are one of the biggest obstacles to overcome when being diagnosed with Diabetes. Family and friend support and encouragement will make this disease easier to manage. The purpose of this paper is to examine the lifestyles, demographics of my community and what, we as nurses, can do to help with managing this disease.

...1. What are the dimensions of cultural diversity? Identify and briefly explain the dimensions by referencing both textbooks. Diversity in the workforce has evolved throughout history. From ancient times where nobility and religious figures ruled all to more current times with the struggle for civil rights in the 1960s or the workforce diversity in the 1990s with woman and different ethnic groups becoming leaders and executives. According to the text, diversity is defined “as the ways in which people differ that may affect their organizational experience in terms of performance, motivation, communication, and inclusion” (Harvey, 2009, p. 1). Dimensions of diversity include components related to a person's race, gender, ethnic background, religious/spiritual dogmas, lifestyle, sexual orientation, age, abilities, and appearance (Schaefer, 2012). These are known as primary dimensions. Secondary dimensions are considered less central to someone’s social identity. Some examples are: Geographic location, military/work experience, family status, income, education, communication and work styles, and first language/education. 2. With what ethnic, cultural, or other groups do you identify? Describe what members of your social circle have in common. I am associated with many diverse groups of various backgrounds. Culturally and ethnically, I identify with Latino/Hispanic, African American, Caucasian/Anglo and Asian. Being of an “All-American” Caucasian background I am...

...The film My Darling Clementine displays Wyatt Earp as an individual who understand he has responsibilities, but also puts on a tough exterior. The film also gives insight to Earp's emotions, showing him having faults and thus presenting the viewer with a realistic and humanistic view of the character. Earp, the legendary rogue, is perhaps a wash of the real man, as there was an inclination that perhaps My Darling Clementine is actually a romanization by Ford of the west. The struggle of founding a new civilization, leaving it all behind and living a rogue lifestyle hardly is shown by Earp, though I believe his loss in the movie, primarily his brother and Doc, do demonstrate he is a tragic hero, as opposed to a more cookie-cutter hero.

Uniformitarianism is the study of rock formations | | |structure, and the distinctive patterns. Sand dunes near Yuma Arizona contains sand grains that are deposited by wind grains.

The state of Oregon has an amazing governor, his name is John Kitzhaber. He takes care of his state and does not want anything to bad happen to his state. He focuses on keeping his state clean and safe. The state flower is the Oregon grape for its amazing beauty. It has a thin stem, a tall top and beautiful purple leaves. The state bird of Oregon is the jaw dropping Western Meadowlark. In my opinion it is the most beautiful and outstanding bird of all time in United States. It can’t get any prettier it has an amazing speed that allows it to glide. The state nick name is the Beaver State because of all of the beavers there. Oregon is a cool name, but what’s even cooler is its postal abbreviation OR.

...In the past 15 years, the demand for free or low-cost health care has grown, and FQHC capacity has expanded in response (see Figure 1). Since the mid-1990s, the ranks of uninsured Americans grew faster than the general population, while the willingness of private physicians to provide charity care declined.2 In addition, the proportion of the U.S. population covered by Medicaid increased from approximately 10 percent in 1999 to 17 percent in 2010.3 Federal support for FQHCs ramped up during the Bush administration (2001-08) and has continued under the Obama administration. Direct federal funding for FQHCs increased from roughly $750 million in 1996 to $2.2 billion in 2010, helping to increase the number of FQHC organizations nationally from about 700 to 1,200—with more than 8,100 sites of care. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 added another $2 billion in temporary FQHC funding for capital and service improvements through 2010. http://www.hschange.com/CONTENT/1257/ What Happens to Indian Health Services? _Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) was permanently reauthorized for IHS, Triballyoperated programs, and Urban Indian Programs. _Authorizes more IHS services - ex: behavioral health, prevention programs, hospice, assisted living, long term, home & community-based care. _Numerous grants opportunities under the ACA for workforce development, trauma centers, preventive care, early childhood programs, innovative healthcare models...

...followed in size by eight Phoenix metropolitan area cities: Mesa, Glendale, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria and Yuma. Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912. It is one of the four corner states, which borders Utah, Nevada, and California. It also has a 389-mile (626 km) international border with the states of Sonora and Baja California in Mexico. Arizona is noted for its desert climate; exceptionally hot summers, and mild winters, and it also features pine forests and mountain ranges in the northern high country with much cooler weather than in the lower deserts. The state is covered with beautiful desert landscape. There is also the less known pine-covered high country of the Colorado Plateau in the north-central portion of the state which contrasts with the desert Basin and Range region in the southern portions of the state. It is known for being home to one of the natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon, and its colorful, steep-sided gorge, carved by the Colorado River. In addition to the Grand Canyon, many other national forests, parks, and monuments are located in the state. More than a quarter of its territory is Federal Trust Land which serves as the home of the Navajo Nation, the Hopi tribe, the Tohono O'odham, Apache and Yaqui people and various Yuma tribes,...

If no fallacy is committed, write "no fallacy."[1] NOTE: If an argument is followed by “IGNORE” it is an eample that we didn’t cover and you are not responsible for it. 1. Either we require forced sterilization of Third World peoples or world population will explode and all of us will die. We certainly don't want to die, so we must require forced sterilization. False Dichotomy. These aren’t the only two possibilities. People could control the population by other means. 2. James said that he saw a picture of a beautiful girl stashed in Stephen's locker. We can only conclude that Stephen has broken the rules, because girls are not allowed in the locker room. Accident – the rule applies to real girls, not pictures of girls. 3. Why is it so difficult for you to reach a decision? Complex Question. The thing being assumed is that it is difficult for the person to reach a decision. 4. People who lack humility have no sense of beauty because everyone who has a sense of beauty also has humility. Circular argument. The conclusion says nothing different than the premise. 5.
