The overall pattern of food that a person eats is more important to a healthy diet than focusing on single foods or individual nutrients, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in its newly updated position paper "Total Diet Approach to Healthy Eating." According to the position paper: "In contrast to the total diet approach, classification of specific foods as 'good' or 'bad' is overly simplistic and may foster unhealthy eating behaviors." The Academy's position paper stresses that moderation, portion size and exercise are the key concepts for balancing food and beverage intakes. The position paper has been published in the February Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and can be found on the Academy's website. It states: It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that the total diet or overall pattern of food eaten is the...

...Final Paper Ashford University Introduction to Literature ENG 125 The difference between a poem and a short story starts with the structure but ends in the same way- their meanings and themes to tell the readers aim one thing, to entertain. For poems, the readers gets drawn to it through the different and interesting rhythms used in writing and reading them while for short stories, the characters, the settings and the plot of the story is what makes it interesting for readers. According to literature experts, creating a good plot with interesting settings is not enough for a story to be read but it also needs the reader’s imagination. Every reader can have their own visualization of what they are reading and sometimes, what they see and the way they interpret what they read might be different from the interpretation that the author want them to have. For example, the poem entitled “The Road Not Taken” and the short narratives entitled “A Worn Path” and “Used to Live Here Once” all have the same theme but when read together by different people and asked what do they think of the stories, they might give different descriptions. These stories and poem deal with one thing which is the main character’s journey towards the unknown and how the main character made decisions that will change the course their lives forever and their loved ones. The stories are presented in different ways. For Robert Frost, he presented his poem’s...

...created very much false impressions of who they were. Jarvis (2008), Reasons for the increasing rates were initially scribed to the effects of emancipation, but as researchers reported rates of psychosis to be on the rise through the first half of the 20th century, the stress of internal migration and social adversity were increasingly invoked as explanatory factors. Even though many changes and the challenges did not seemly to actually change. The involvement in the ending of isolation among African Americans, as well being one of the culture groups of people involved in the struggles, segregation, civil rights movement and the civil war Would be the greatest and most significant impact for a culture and race of change in history. In this paper we will discuss and analyze different factors and events that help to end discrimination, isolation, and segregation within the African American community. After 1970, attitudes influencing the psychiatric assessment of African Americans changed...

The Importance of Leadership. Bridgewater Review, 24(1), 7-10. Available at: http://vc.bridgew.edu/br_rev/vol24/iss1/6 This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The Importance of Leadership by Dorothy J. Mulcahy Why is the topic of leadership important? History is rich with stories of leaders who have shaped the course of nations, the economy, and society. It is well recognized that effectively run organizations are more productive and successful while poorly run organizations suffer at the hands of ineffective leaders. Compounding the need for effective leadership is the unethical and illegal behavior of numerous business and public sector leaders that has led to the failure of many organizations. The scandals at Enron, WorldCom, HealthSouth, OfficeMax, Tyco, Marsh & McLennan, Putnam, and Boeing, to name just a few, have focused on the importance of strong, effective, and ethical leadership. Dissatisfaction on the part of stockholders and boards of directors has increasingly led to the termination of high-profile CEOs. The recent termination of HewlettPackard’s CEO Carleton (Carly) Fiorina has focused considerable attention on the qualities a leader needs to have in order...

...homework doesn’t even pay off when you get to school the next day and the teacher doesn't even check in the homework or take it as a grade. How many times have you done all of the homework and still do poorly on the test? This constant cycle makes kids stop doing the homework all together. Homework is not helping students of the twenty first century get to where they need to be to succeed in the work force. In the article, “What Students Would Do If They Did Not Do Their Homework,” Dorothy Suskind points out that it's not enough just to have less homework or even better homework. Suskind believes that we need to change the expectation in our schools so that students are asked to take schoolwork home only when there's a reasonable possibility that a particular assignment will be beneficial to them. She discusses how researchers have consistently failed to link homework with achievement and could only imagine what children could do if they were allowed to go about what they wanted after school, instead of doing homework. It is said that “teachers in top-performing nations, such as Japan, Denmark, and the Czech Republic, assign less homework compared to their low-performing counterparts in Greece, Thailand, and Iran”(Suskind). This research makes it a little more clear how useless homework really is to us. Things like motivation and amount you accomplish, come from in-class learning. Suskind points out that research suggest that work outside of class stimulates student to restrict...

...One day this spring, a psychiatrist named Dorothy Lewis got a call from her friend Betty, who works in New York City. Betty had just seen a Broadway play called "Frozen," written by the British playwright Bryony Lavery. "She said, 'Somehow it reminded me of you. You really ought to see it,'" Lewis recalled. Lewis asked Betty what the play was about, and Betty said that one of the characters was a psychiatrist who studied serial killers. "And I told her, 'I need to see that as much as I need to go to the moon.'" Lewis has studied serial killers for the past twenty-five years. With her collaborator, the neurologist Jonathan Pincus, she has published a great many research papers, showing that serial killers tend to suffer from predictable patterns of psychological, physical, and neurological dysfunction: that they were almost all the victims of harrowing physical and sexual abuse as children, and that almost all of them have suffered some kind of brain injury or mental illness. In 1998, she published a memoir of her life and work entitled "Guilty by Reason of Insanity." She was the last person to visit Ted Bundy before he went to the electric chair. Few people in the world have spent as much time thinking about serial killers as Dorothy Lewis, so when her friend Betty told her that she needed to see "Frozen" it struck her as a busman's holiday. But the calls kept coming. "Frozen" was winning raves on Broadway, and it had been nominated for a Tony. Whenever someone who knew Dorothy...

...lessons learned in the Everest College Nursing program. Topics covered shall consist of a reflection of the personal nursing philosophy, impact and concepts of the Nursing Code of Ethics and how it applies to Nursing as a profession, the concept of patient centered care, use of technology in documentation, and the leadership aspects that are considered as a new graduate. Leadership aspects entail team leading, delegation, and role transition from graduate to RN. This is the point of view of the author and information given here will be both objective and subjective. Nursing Philosophy In a previous paper written, the reflection of this student’s own nursing philosophy seemed to coincide with that of Florence Nightingale as well as Dorothy Orem. Orem’s school of thought leans toward the nurse having a large hand in aiding a patient to achieve total self-sustainability. Dorothy Orem’s theory is actually three separate theories that work synergistically. These theories are the theory of self-care, theory of self-care deficit, and the theory of Nursing systems. This works well for a patient, when achieved, due to the self-care aspect. Someone whom is actively involved in their own progress displays an inherent will to do well by oneself. This promotes compliance which can be a large barrier in healthcare. Education is an extremely important aspect in all of nursing but even more so in this philosophy. Florence Nightingale paid close attention to the surroundings of the patient...

...During the early half of the twentieth century many psychologist thought that cuddling a child or showing to much affection would make them week, leaving them unable to take care of themselves later in life. As psychologist now know today this is a false fact. Research shows that the quality of care infants receive affects how they later get along with friends, how well they do in school, and how they react to new and possibly stressful situations. As the following pages will explain how it is better to show children at an early age love and affection to help the lead a more productive and secure life leading to adulthood. This paper explores a little more in depth about this theory, I will reference from Harlow’s Monkey Experiment, Anna Freud and Psychology Eleventh Edition. Harry Harlow (1905-1981) conducted an experiment where he took new born monkeys from their mothers at birth and provided them sergeant mothers; one of the mothers was made entirely from wire and only had a bottle that provided food. The other was covered in a soft terry cloth and could only provide comfort. Harlow found that regardless of whether or not the cloth covered mother provided food or affection, the infant monkeys would cling to her for comfort. The babies assigned to wire mesh mothers were adequately fed, but their needs for psychological nurture and tactile comfort were ignored, and they consequently displayed behaviors resembling autism. The baby monkeys assigned to terry cloth mothers...

...Historical Development of Nursing Timeline Lou Pardo NUR/513 July 18, 2014 Jeanine Maine Historical Development of Nursing Timeline History can be defined as a study of events that link the past to the present. It also examines how those events have continued to impact and influence events throughout time. The nursing profession is intricately tied to historical influences throughout the ages. Exploring and understanding the history of nursing allows one to achieve an appreciation the role nursing has played in the advancement of the healthcare system. Ninetieth Century Florence Nightingale, conceivably the most famous nurse in history; was well known for making nursing a reputable profession for women, and bringing it to the forefront of the professional world. Wars were increasing during the ninetieth century, and as a result, the demand for nurses had grown exponentially (Nursing Theory, 2013). In 1854, the Crimean War erupted. Nightingale had learned the British troops had no nurses to care for their injured troops while the French had nursing nuns caring for their injured. Nightingale, with a group of nurses, served in the Crimean War by organizing hospitals to help improve the general conditions of the facilities. “In fact, most British soldiers were dying from disease rather than from injuries incurred on the battlefield” (Egenes, n.d.). Nightingale set out on a crusade to methodically scrub the soldiers’ barracks and hospital ward, and allow fresh air in. The...

...Poor College Study Habits 10 Common Study Skills Mistakes that Students Make 1. Poor Attendance. This may be the most common student mistake-- and the most unavoidable. If you want to succeed in college, you need to be in class all or most of the time. There's no way around that. 2. Poor Notetaking Skills. Unfortunately, many students come to college without having mastered this critical skill. To succeed in school, you need to learn how to listen actively and take accurate, thorough lecture notes. 3. Poor Time Management Skills. Many college students are overwhelmed with multiple academic and other responsibilities, so learning to manage your time is essential. 4. Last Minute Work. If you write a paper at the last minute, it shows. If you try to do the reading at the last minute for the test that's tomorrow, you're unlikely to do well on the test. While it may be impossible to completely avoid the experience of pulling an all-nighter, do the best you can to keep up with the work on the syllabus. 5. Procrastination. Of course, the issue of last minute work is related to procrastination. Learning to stay focused is a skill, especially with so many distractions like Facebook and video games around campus. 6. Failure to Read Directions. If your instructor hands you a detailed description of how to write an assignment, read the description very carefully and follow directions. If you have any questions, ask the instructor, and if he or she goes over the assignment...

...Historical Development of Nursing Timeline International Council of Nurses (ICN) definition of nursing is - “collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of disease, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people. Advocacy, promotion of a safe environment, research, participation in shaping health policy and in patient and health systems management, and education are also key nursing roles” (International Council of Nurses, 2014). Florence Nightingale is considered to be the most influential person in nursing. Not only did Nightingale played an essential role in reforming nursing at the time but also laid the foundation for nursing as a profession. Prior to F. Nightingale in development of mankind, nursing has been linked to traditions of caring (Egenes, 2009). Nursing originated from intuitive approach to treat the sick and it was based on instinctive actions rather than formal education. The role of caregivers was typically assigned to women for their nurturing and caring ways to take care of their children, and was believed that they could be nurturing to others (Potter, 2013). Early development of medicine and nursing as we know started in pre-biblical times with Egyptians who have mastered the art of embalming the bodies dating as far as 4000 B.C., to Indians who were able to describe disease types and developed a process of disease diagnosis...

...Over the years psychology has grown and become more prevalent in society as people are more inclined to know more about the mind, behaviors, and how it all relates to psychology itself. There have been some major influences on psychology and what it is today. At first thought, one would only be able to think of a man who may have contributed to psychology but in contrast, there are many women who have contributed to psychology and what it has become. Anna Freud is one profound woman that had a lot to contribute to the world of psychology. She was born in Vienna on December 3, 1895. She is the youngest daughter of Sigmund Freud’s six children, and she is the only one of the children that became a psychoanalyst. Freud was the founder of child psychoanalysis, and she added to the understanding of how the ego and consciousness functions in preventing painful thoughts, ideas, and urges (Anna Freud, 2013). Of all Sigmund Freud’s children, Anna was closest to him, and she related to him in ways that the other kids did not. Freud’s mother was closer to her other children while Anna identified with her father. Freud and her mother had a strained relationship. Added to their already strained relationship, Freud’s mother was a total skeptic when it came to psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud noticed his daughter’s intelligence and how interested she was in psychoanalysis. However, he did not send her to the schools that would prepare her for university. Alternatively, she attended Cottage Lyceum...
