The review must be properly word-processed and submitted on-line, through Nexus, as a PDF document in the dropbox on the course site. Essays sent by email or that are not pdfs must be resubmitted before being graded, and late penalties will apply.The review must begin with an introductory paragraph, laying out your initial, overall assessment of the book. The point of a review is not just to offer your opinion of the book, but to persuade the reader whether or not they should purchase and read it for themselves. Whatever you think about the book, outline your reasons at the start – this is the thesis of your argument, which is developed and supported in the body of the review.The second paragraph must provide a summary of the contents of the book and the argument that the authors make. This part is essential – your own reader is not likely to accept your opinion unless you can demonstrate, objectively, that you understand the argument the author tries to make.For the rest of your review, select TWO of chapters 4, 5, 6, or 7 and offer a more detailed analysis and reflection on what the authors are arguing in those chapters. What fundamental, underlying ethical issues are being discussed/handled here? Are you convinced? Why or why not?

CCN Personal Health Record Discussion

need an answer to the post below:Good evening classmates and professor,    Personal health records (PHR) have been developed so that computerized medical records are readily available to patients. As in the case study, the pros of having a PHR account is having medical records access Allowing patients to view test or lab results anywhere Internet access is located. As a result, communication and decision making between patient and health care provider regarding health concerns will improve. PHR offer many benefits to patients come a physician’s, as well as the health care system such as patient empowerment, improve patient-provider relationships, increased patient safety, improved quality of care come improved efficiency of care delivery, better safeguards on health information privacy, and bigger cost savings (Endsley, et al., 2006). Currently there are 2 kinds of PHR, stand alone or tethered. In the case study, the PHR presented is tethered “where portions are populated by the health care plan or health care delivery system that supports it (Hebda & Czar, 2019).” Their sister reason why her test results were not fully accessible because the labs used in the ED and her doctor’s office were not connected. The cons of this situation are difficulty accessing health information and test results as well as wasting time in attempting to get the other portion of results. BHR and patient portals are password protected to help patients and healthcare professionals ensure safety. Like EHRs, PHR’s are safeguarded to protect patients’ privacy and security.     The challenges for patients without access to all of EHRs/PHRs can be lack of personal health information to make proper decision making regarding their health, difficulty obtaining personal health records, and difficulty in communicating with their health care providers. ReferenceEndsley, S., Kibbe, D., Linares, A., & Colorafi, K.

Nutrition discussion (Fats – what’s the latest?

Fats do not cause people to become overweight in and of themselves. Total calories in relation to the person’s metabolism, activity, life stage, muscle composition, and many other factors help in determining how many calories a day we need (we will learn this in the energy metabolism module later in the semester). However, because fats are more than twice the caloric value of sugars & starches, this is part of the reason why the AMDR is 20-35% and the AMDR range is at 45-65%. But, saturated fats, regardless of one’s weight, are the least healthy type of fat. Very few subjects related to nutrition are debated as much as the fats–which are good, which are not, and how to make food choices that take everything we know about them into account. A classic example is the advice on butter vs. margarine, which has gone back and forth over the years, in response to the evolving science. In the most recent update of the USDA Dietary Guidelines, it has been determined from the scientific data that cholesterol is no longer of concern from foods, and will not cause a rise in LDL if consuming excess cholesterol. HOWEVER, saturated fats will cause an increase in LDL levels in blood and therefore are to be avoided to reduce risk of heart disease.As we learned, LDL is carrying 50% or more cholesterol through the bloodstream to the cells, however, too high of a level of LDL in circulation is not a good thing. So, along with an increase in all calories (where excess calories are stored in adipose tissue), perhaps too much in excess sugars (which would be converted to fats in excess) and saturated fats can affect levels in blood, however, cholesterol in food is no longer considered a factor.

Infrastructure in Homeland Security Discussion Response

Reply to Thread :Brenda,Critical infrastructure and key resources are the make up of every country. To be more specific, they are the essential elements of comfortable survival. These elements include water treatment facilities, transportation, electricity facilities, water dams, and agriculture. All of these elements are greatly significant for everyone’s lives and for our national security. The method to destroy an adversary is to weaken their resources, and if someone were to do that to the United States, there would be chaotic repercussions due to the outage of these resources. For instance, when hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the lack of potable water and the lack of electricity deemed the island in the state of national emergency.The only experience I have that has anything to do with infrastructure is at a small scale and not at a national level. I have been responsible for setting up transportation for individuals, food, waste, etc. In the even that I did not do my job, unnecessary waste would have accumulated causing the work space to not be “habitable.” Or leaving troops without transportation would have made the entire mission collapse without the presence of required personnel. As far as a personal interest in infrastructure, I have always found it interesting how different elements come together in order to form a functioning society. In addition, my current job in the military is key to observing and protecting key infrastructure of the United States. This class will be extremely beneficial to my personal and professional development.

philosophy short essay

Reading the below conversation between Nick and Joey. Then, answer the following questions (2 paragraphs each):Joey: So, what happens when you’re wrong? Nick: Well, Joey, I’m never wrong. Joey: But you can’t always be right. Nick: Well, if it’s your job to be right, then you’re never wrong. Joey: But what if you are wrong? Nick: Okay, let’s say that you’re defending chocolate and I’m defending vanilla. Now, if I were to say to you, “Vanilla’s the best flavor ice cream”, you’d say …? Joey: “No, chocolate is.” Nick: Exactly. But you can’t win that argument. So, I’ll ask you: So you think chocolate is the end-all and be-all of ice cream, do you? Joey: It’s the best ice cream; I wouldn’t order any other. Nick: Oh. So it’s all chocolate for you, is it? Joey: Yes, chocolate is all I need. Nick: Well, I need more than chocolate. And for that matter, I need more than vanilla. I believe that we need freedom and choice when it comes to our ice cream, and that, Joey Naylor, that is the definition of liberty. Joey: But that’s not what we’re talking about. Nick: Ah, but that’s what I’m talking about. Joey: But … you didn’t prove that vanilla’s the best. Nick: I didn’t have to. I proved that you’re wrong, and if you’re wrong, I’m right

San Bernardino Valley Collge Philosophy Think a piece

PLEASE READ THE ATTACHED ARTICLE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONSThe central question is – how should the author feel about her great-grandfather? Her father tells her that her great-grandfather is worthy of respect, and the author’s father speaks of him in rather glowing terms. The father says, for instance – “I can never be ashamed of him… Why should I be? His business was legitimate at the time. He was respected by everyone around.”Given the totality of the author’s great-grandfather’s life, what is the appropriate response? Horror at being engaged in the slave trade? Pride in the prestige brought to the family name and her great-grandfather’s hard work and industriousness?What is the major factor in your assessment of the appropriate feelings? Do certain factors outweigh others? For example – one might say that her great-grandfather worked hard to elevate his family and this outweighs any consideration of the brutality of his chosen profession. On the other hand, one might say that, no matter how hard working and industrious her great-grandfather was, he still built his family’s position on the backs of his fellow human beings.What obligations does the family now have to those harmed? The author discusses paying reparations. Should the author’s family do so? Why or why not?There is no right or wrong answer. But that doesn’t mean you can just give any answer. Whatever answer you provide; I am looking for you to be thorough and rigorous in your reasoning.Don’t just tell me what you think, but why you think it. Walk me through your entire though process. The more detailed, the better.In addition, don’t give me a cop out answer. Don’t tell me that Nwaubani can feel however she wants, don’t tell me you don’t know how she should feel. Give me an answer.I don’t have to agree with your answer, but I better know what it is.
