...Zamanian, CEO of iData. "By 2016, over 20% of general practitioners are expected to place dental implants and their adoption of computer-guided-surgery will further the growth of this market." (idata research.net, 2012) In the past the treatment options were limited to extractions with no replacement teeth, dentures, or fixed bridges. All of these options were stop gap measures to maintain oral stability. The cost of progressively treating the loss of a tooth in one or more areas often involved multiple procedures and time, which made it very expensive. With implants replacing a tooth root, and giving the bone the support it needs in often one procedure, patients are seeing the permanent value implants give at a fixed cost. The consumer or dentist in our case is always looking to increase their margins, and lower their fixed operating costs. One of the most expensive costs is labor. With implants, the cost is fixed and a surgeon...

We wish to thank Bishop Hayes Rockwell and the Trust Board, especially Dr. Katherine Jahnige, for their inspiration and support.

Finally, our thanks go to Dr. James Kimmey, for his insight as to the need for focus group information. B [Introduction] “ We made a home visit on a family in north St. Louis…because they had missed preventive care. And when the home health worker went into the home, she found the mother was there with many children. The mother was suffering from postpartum depression. The baby was on a [respirator] and the house was rat infested. They had no electricity for the baby, so they were stealing electricity from the neighbor to be able to support the baby’s life support. Obviously they were in health crisis in more than one [way]…but she didn’t know where to begin. There were so many layers to peel away from this family that to get to their health care…and they definitely...

...According to the American Heart Association, one serving of protein includes 2 to 3 ounces of cooked leaned meat, poultry, or fish; or ½ cup of cooked dry beans and nuts. Proteins, which contain essential minerals such as zinc, magnesium, iron and B vitamins, are essential to tissue growth and repair. Medical professionals like Dr. Douglas Paddon-Jones at the University of Texas Medical Branch recommends “that proteins should make up about 20 to 25 percent of our nutritional intake” (Nordqvist). Furthermore, a serving of grains includes 1 slice of bread or ½ cup of cereal, but a person should not just consume any type of grain. The UDSA informs that the typical person should eat at least 3 grams of whole grains per day. Whole grains contain their bran and germ. These two organs carry the majority of the grain’s fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Brown rice, whole-grain bread, and whole-grain cereal are excellent sources of healthy grains. As for dairy, 2 to 3 servings of low-fat dairy products per day is sufficient. One serving includes 1 cup of low-fat or fat free milk or 1 ½ oz. of low-fat cheese. Finally, there are the fats. Contrary to the popular diet trend of avoiding fats, “[e]veryone needs fat, and it aids in nutrient absorption, nerve transmission and maintenance of cell membranes” (“Diet & Nutrition Myths”).

...Family Assessment Bryan Smith Tulane University Abstract The Gordon’s 11 Functional Health Patterns provides an efficient and well organized mechanism in order to collect data from an individual and all of their life processes (Edelman & Mantle, 2006, pg. 131). With the Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns, it provides the foundation of the nurse’s assessment. “The assessment is a systematic technique for learning as much as possible about the individual”, and the main purpose in collecting all of the information is to discover if there are any health complications and to help identify the person’s healthy goals (Edelman & Mantle, 2006, pg. 147). With the nursing process, the nurse is able to evaluate, make a proper nursing diagnosis, predicts outcomes, prescribes interventions, and is able to assess the effectiveness (Edelman & Mantle, 2006, pg. 147). With subjective and objective data, the nurse is able to organize what is wrong with the individual. The nurse then uses the data he or she has gathered and formulates a diagnosis. With this, the nurse can then continue making a plan of care for the person and help encourage them to a healthier and better goal. For this particular assessment, I chose to interview the “M Family”. I decided to interview them in their own home in order to gather the most accurate information as possible. With this data provided, the Gordon’s 11 Functional health assessment, and the NANDA text book, I was able to devise an accurate...
