...preventable and premature deaths globally in next few years (Salazar, 2004). As years come, the average age of smokers is declining. The youth is greatly and easily influenced by smoking especially if proper guidance for them to avoid it was not established. Indisputably, smoking creates a big impact on people, and year by year, the population of smokers increase thus tobacco-related illnesses that may lead to death also increase. Even the expression that “Warning: Smoking is bad for your health.” is not enough to encourage people especially the young to pick up the habit. It is seriously evident that the several programs or regulations formed to avoid and quit smoking needs more “press on” to switch down its impression to the people Background of the Study There are 1.25 billion smokers around the globe and consequently, one-third to one-half of it, which is almost 6 million people, will be killed in the year 2010 from the disruptive effects of smoking. According to the nonprofit research and advocacy organizations, smoking rates have declined over the past few years in developed countries such as United States, Britain and Japan while increasing in much of the developing countries (Fox, 2009: 11). According to the Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA), Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) account for 10 percent of world’s 1.25 billion smokers which is a total of 125.8 million where the...

...BSN Nurse VS ADN Nurse XXX XXXX XXX XXX XXXX Oct. 4, 2013 BSN nurse VS ADN nurse In this following paper I will demonstrate the difference in competencies between nurses at the associate-degree level versus the baccalaureate-degree level. “There are three routes to becoming a register nurse: a 3-year diploma program typically administered in hospitals; a 3-year associate degree usually offered at community colleges; and the 4-year baccalaureate degree offered at senior colleges and universities.” ("Impact of education on nursing practice," 2012, p. 1) “Nursing is a dynamic profession and lifelong learning is essential for nurses to stay current with the increased complexity of the healthcare needs of today and into the future. In other words, the needs of our patients are changing, as we must change in order to better serve that need. BSN degree nurses are better prepared to meet patient needs. The main difference in study between an AND and BSN is the emphasis on additional education in leadership and management, wellness, and community nursing. BSN prepared nurses possess greater knowledge of health promotion, disease prevention, and risk reduction as well as illness and disease management and are prepared to assist individuals, groups, and communities to prevent disease and achieve optimum levels of wellness. As nurses expand their role and move further into providing more community based primary care delivery the need for BSN prepared nurses is apparent.”(Ellis...

...PHILOSOPHY PAPER ON NURSING By: GITA GURAGAIN SUBMITTED TO: MICHELLE JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY CONTENT INTRODUCTION---------------------------------------- 1-2 INDIVIDUALS-------------------------------------------- 2 HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT------------------ 3 HEALTH & ILLNESS---------------------------------- 4-5 NURSING-------------------------------------------------- 5 CONCLUSION------------------------------------------- 6 REFERENCES------------------------------------------- 7 INTRODUCTION: Nursing is a discipline and a profession. As a profession, nursing is committed to assisting individuals in the performance of activities that contribute to their health. As a discipline, nursing supports the belief that there is a dynamic interrelationship between the individual and the environment (Meleis, et al. 2000). Nursing should be practiced recognizing the physiological, psychological, sociocultural, development and spiritual variables of the patient (Baranowski, Perry , & Parcel, 1997) . This nursing philosophy is based on Neuman System Model, Science of Unitary Beings and Social Cognitive Theory. Nursing is one of the external resources available to the person (Baranowski, Perry, & Parcel, 1997). Nurses use knowledge and skill in working with people to promote, maintain, and restore the balance between the person and the environment, and when necessary, to support a dignified...

...back in 2008. In 2010 the IOM released a report on the initiative named The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. Part II of the report describes the needed changes of the nursing profession in order to advance the whole health care system. The IOM “envisions a future where primary care and prevention are central drivers of the health care system, inter-professional collaboration and coordination are the norm, and payment for health care services rewards value, not volume of services, and quality care is provided at a price that is affordable for both individuals and society” (IOM, 2010). This report was supported by evidence-based practice which contributed for the high endorsement of the report from the American Nursing Association (ANA). In this paper I would like to focus on three major sections of the project, namely transforming of nursing education, nursing practice and nursing leadership. The report underlines the deep changes in nursing education that need to be implemented in the following years. Even though the main goal of the nursing education remains to prepare the future nurses and nursing specialist to provide quality and safe care to a diverse population, the education needs to evolve in ways that encourage working in teams with other health professionals. IOM report encourages “nurses to partner with physicians and other health care professionals in redesigning of U.S. healthcare (IOM, 2010). The nursing academic progression should be promoted...

...Cleveland's Youth Brenda McLelland Capella University MSN 6012 Unit 8: Designing Health Promotion Programs September, 2015 Abstract Concerns about addressing the nutritional health of Cleveland’s impoverished children continue to plague the Cleveland community. According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2013, Cleveland has the third largest child poverty rate among the top cities in the United States ("Hunger Facts," 2013). Insufficient resources to provide adequate food and lack of proper nutritional education for these children has a dramatic effect on the health and well-being for this vulnerable group. Not only does poverty have a direct relationship to negative child outcomes, but nutritional intake and education, as well. This article will focus on a theory-based health care promotion plan that will address the poor, school-age children living in Cleveland. Strategies will be identified in promoting nutritional education to improve healthy eating for these children in an attempt to improve the health and wellness for this vulnerable group. Guidelines for quality monitoring, evaluating, and adaptations of this health promotion plan will also be discussed so that it can be used across various health care settings. Implementing a health promotion plan that incorporates appropriate theory, research-based interventions, evaluative measures, and quality improvement metrics is pivotal if the health care professional is to be successful in supporting desired healthy...

...Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: Peer Review Ryan J. Bartholomeo Grand Canyon University Spirituality and Christian Values in Health Care and Wellness April 25, 2013 Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: First Draft Knowledge and acceptance are one of the two most important factors when discussing the diversity of faith expressions and belief systems of patients as a health care provider. For this assignment, I decided to research Christianity and one other diverse faith group; interviewing said friend about her faith, Naturalism. In the health care industry, health care providers whose spiritual beliefs differ from their own personal beliefs are a common issue. Learning how to appropriately and respectfully handle each individual’s diversity and faith or belief system is of the upmost importance within the health care industry. Interview Assessment Analysis When conducting my interview with my close friend, Asyia Aanandi, asking a wide range of questions on her faith was required for further assessment; furthermore, the best way to incorporate Asyia’s beliefs of a Naturalist toward her philosophy of providing care from the perspective of her faith. Asyia Aanandi’sAanandi spiritual beliefs are that of a Naturalist, believing in only one single notion; Homo-sapiens feel, think, and act on, due to “chemical reactions” inside ones brain and body. Naturalism is the belief that as humans, acting on...
