...Running head: MODULE 3 ASSIGNMENT Module 3 Assignment K.M.W. Grand Canyon University HLT 324V April 02, 2011 Nutritional Practices Unconventional childbearing rituals have been around for many years. This history of childbirth explains some of these rituals. I cannot personally compare experiences with childbirth. I have yet to have a child. This Essay explores various methods of giving birth, and developed changes that have occurred since then. We have advanced technology to deal with all kinds of labor. Being a medical professional I have seen especially difficult deliveries. There are many complications that a woman can have during the labor process such as: breach babies or obstructed labor. Our access to sterile procedures, diagnostic machinery, and modern equipment helps many women through these complications safely. Access to a variety of medication, has come a long way from giving the mother chloroform or a bottle of whiskey for easing pain. These women did not have a choice of who is with them during the labor, methods of decreasing pain, or infection free birthing areas. Today we are free to choose these things, except for emergent birthing situations. This is important, considering that all males were banned from delivery rooms until the mid-1900’s! Men were not allowed anywhere near childbirth situations. There is a story of one Doctor, Dr. Wertt of Hamburg, in 1522, had the idea to dress up in women’s clothes to gain entry to a labor...

...Along with many other complementary therapies, aromatherapy has experienced a recent surge in interest and popularity. It is often the concepts of self-help and a natural alternative to medication that draws many people to therapies such as this, as they can often be self-prescribed by the individual (Balaskas 1990). The term complementary implies that aromatherapy should be used in harmony with more orthodox medical therapies, however in late pregnancy, many of the common ailments are discomforts which cannot be alleviated by conventional medicine. It is at this point that therapies such as aromatherapy really come in to their own. This essay will examine the use of aromatherapy during the later stages of pregnancy for minor ailments and discomforts, and as a preparation for childbirth. While some oils will be mentioned, space limitations prevent the listing of effective oils for all uses. These oils may be found from any aromatherapy text. The role of the midwife as an aromatherapy practitioner will be explored, as will aspects of safety pertinent to the use of complementary therapy. Serious complications of pregnancy will not be discussed here, as although some therapies may be useful at this time, medical advise should always be sought before commencing any treatment. Minor complications of early pregnancy will also not be examined as a great deal of contradiction exists within the literature regarding the relative safety of much treatment during these early months (Davis...

Badr Naga., MSN, RN, Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Qassim, Saudi Arabia Email: Bilal_badrnaga@yahoo.com Case scenario Abstract Euthanasia is one of the issues that has been the subject of intense debate over time. It has been a pertinent issue in human rights discourse as it also affects ethical and legal issues pertaining to patients and health care providers. This paper discusses the legal and ethical debates concerning both types of euthanasia. It focuses on both the supporter of euthanasia and the opponent of euthanasia. Several statements for the Euthanasia argument arediscussed: a merciful response that alleviates the suffering of patients which is sometimes wrongly perceived to be otherwise unrelievable; the autonomy in which the patient has the right to make his own choices; the regulation and legislation of existing practices of euthanasia to protect health care providers and patients. In this heated debate religious, political, ethical, legal and personal views are also included. Among all these, those who desperately want to end their lives because they simply cannot go on in any way, are the ones who suffer. Every individual or group has a different viewpoint...

...always delighted in giving them a beau ideal likeness, but I only drew them as a painter or sanctuary would do, -- as they should be.’[1] (Medwin, Nov 1821- Mar 1822 (Cf. Ideality of Art)) p. 195 Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage was Lord George Gordon Byron’s first composition which he begun in 1809 and finally completed in 1818. The structure of the poem follows a young promising knight through his journey around Europe. The poem is autobiographical: Byron uses Childe Harold as a fictional figure to respond to, and comment on, life and experiences around Europe whilst Byron was undertaking his own ‘Tour’. The Grand Tour ‘became the fashionable way for young male aristocrats to complete an education whose foundation was classical Greek and Roman history, rhetoric, philosophy, and poetry.’[2] As a Romantic poet, in Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage Byron uses the depiction of nature as a way to express his opinions of place. Childe Harold is full of images and motifs which takes its reader on a journey, or a pilgrimage, of self-discovery and through foreign lands in the truly beautiful Byronic style. Politics have dominated the critical analysis of Childe Harold in the past, centred on the response of the Battle of Waterloo in Canto III and IV. Nonetheless, Byron’s presentation of the women in the text offers the reader a fresh understanding of the different countries visited by Childe Harold of which I shall concentrate on Spain, Greece and the City of Rome. Spain is described in Childe...

...Charisma is really a process – an interaction between the qualities of the charismatic leader, the followers and their needs and identification with the leader, and the situation that calls out for a charismatic leader, such as a need for change or a crisis. But when it comes to the charismatic qualities of leaders, the emphasis is on how they communicate to followers and whether they are able to gain followers’ trust, and influence and persuade them to follow. Most politicians, particularly on the national scene, have developed their ability to communicate effectively – to make speeches, “work the room” with potential donors and supporters, etc. So many seasoned politicians have a lot of “personal charisma.” This paper comes up with an essay providing a detailed analysis and discussion charismatic leadership, with respect to such fundamental aspects like characteristic of charismatic leaders, the merits and demerits of charismatic as a leadership approach, where it can be applied, as well as relevant examples of people who have...

...more . . . Getting Started with APA Citation Style What is APA Style? American Psychological Association (APA) style is one of several styles for academic writing. This guide covers frequently used citation forms. The sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (BF 76.7 .P83 2010) is a comprehensive resource, available at most UBC Libraries. General Rules • Formatting: The preferred APA font is a serif typeface such as Times New Roman with 12-point size. Double- space between all lines of text, including the reference list. Have uniform margins of at least 1 in. (2.54 cm) on all sides. • Hanging indents should be used for the reference list entries. This means that all lines after the first line of each entry should be indented one half inch from the left margin (in Word 2007 use Paragraph>Special>Hanging). • Arrange reference list entries in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author or by title if there is no author. Use only the initial(s) of the author's given name, not the full name, with a space between the initials. • If the reference list includes two or more entries by the same author(s), list them in chronological order (oldest first). Add a lower case letter (a, b, etc.) after the year, within the parentheses. • Capitalize only the first letter of the first word in the article or book title. Proper nouns are also capitalized as well as the word following a colon (subtitle). Journal titles should have every...

...Abstract: This essay focuses on the feminist criticism and the gender roles in key characters of The Hunger Games trilogy. It evaluates the purpose of Suzanne Collins' use of breaking down gender roles and how that shapes the character outside that character's own gender. Themes of survival and humanity are explored and evaluated, putting a specific emphasis on how those themes correspond with gender roles. Both females and males are examined; first in the Hunger Games universe, and then applied to the twenty first century stereotypes of gender roles. All the novels in the trilogy— The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), and Mockingjay (2010)— as well as a criticism from Kristi Tyson, author of Modern Literary Theory of Sexes (2011). The essay explores the question of whether gender is a determining factor of what makes a strong character. Through the research and analysis of the pieces, the essay resolves that Collins actually by-passes gender roles, focusing more on a character's ability to adapt to both gender stereotypes in order to have a well rounded understanding of society. Genders are not the determining factor of a strong character, because gender roles do not matter in the long run of being a human being in general. Word Count: 212 On September 14, 2008, Suzanne Collins published her novel, The Hunger Games. The twisted story line of a barbaric showdown was an instant hit. Katniss Everdeen, the main protagonist of the series, became an idol— girls...

Staff must make a valued contribution to the work of the organisation. Eventually they will leave, more often than not because they find alternative employment or retire.
