Discuss your own philosophy of aging. When do you think a person becomes elderly? What do you think of older people? Are they active, senile, debilitated, etc.? Give a description of an elderly person that you know.
Discussing my own philosophy of aging. It really changes with each year I get older I used to think 31’s was old now I’m 35 it doesn’t seem so old yesterday was my birthday, I see myself as young feeling most days I have noticed more aches with aging and pregnancy and I feel I’m young acting anyways, my husband jokingly says otherwise and my son told me yesterday, I can’t believe your still a teenager at 35, I joked with him that I was a teenager and I said I know me either. So, at this time in my life I feel elderly to me is 65 and older like at retirement age. Also, though it varies in my mind  my mom is 73 but doesn’t seem elderly at all, she is very active and seems to have more energy than me.  My grandma is 103 and  has very sharp mind, a better memory than myself, she still walks with a rolling walker, my aunt lives with her and has since she was in her 80’s and cooks for her, her vision and hearing has gotten worse with aging, she will complain about some aches, which I think she has deserved the right to do, but really she is, I believe in  superb condition to be her age this August 6th she will be 104. I love listening to her stories and she loves talking. Age to me has just become a number. How you act, feel, and  take care of your body can really can impact your aging. In the ICU I’ve seen drugs age people in there 31’s and 40’s and make them look twice their age and if it doesn’t kill them it really effects their health and has a impact on their family. I try and keep a open mind no two people  are alike even if they are in the same age category. As it talks about in the text I have found myself believing  certain things aren’t achievable because of a person’s age. As the text says:
“Promoting wellness in older adults is an ideal; however, nurses may not believe it is achievable in practice because of barriers such as the following:

Older adults may be pessimistic about their ability to improve their health and functioning.
Survival needs and a multitude of health problems may take precedence over the “luxury” of being able to focus on wellness and quality of life.
Despite the increasing emphasis on wellness and health promotion, health care environments focus more on treating diseases than on preventing illness and addressing whole-person needs.
Often older adults and health care providers mistakenly attribute symptoms to aging rather than identify and address the contributing factors that are reversible and treatable.
Health care providers may not believe that older adults are capable of learning and implementing health-promoting behaviors that are inherent in wellness-oriented care” (Miller).

So, it just really all depends on the person to me some age better and are able to take care of themselves, and some don’t, it may not necessarily be their fault they may have a debilitating disease that they cannot help, but one thing is for sure we all age if we are still here on earth and I just hope we all can age well, and make the most out of this life we are given.

Grand Theories about Care or Caring Section VI: Middle Range Theories Chapter 19: Theory of Nursing as Caring Chapter 20: Transitions Theory Discussion 6 Discussion Question (Assignment worth 3 points) (Two Parts): After reading and reviewing the assigned chapters we come to understand that humans are intrinsically motivated to care for others.

Section V: Grand Theories about Care or Caring Section VI: Middle Range Theories Chapter 19: Theory of Nursing as Caring Chapter 20: Transitions Theory Discussion 6
Discussion Question (Assignment worth 3 points) (Two Parts): After reading and reviewing the assigned chapters we come to understand that humans are intrinsically motivated to care for others. Based on this theory, how do you provide care?
Part One
Reviewing the Nursing as Caring Theory, we come to understand that humans are intrinsically motivated to care for others. Based on this theory, how do you provide care for someone who is a criminal that needs care? (Example, a prisoner is brought to your unit for care, after being beaten for molesting a child).
Part Two
The transitions theory incorporates intervention and comprehension of what has taken place. How do you apply the transitions theory to your current nursing practice?

Revision and Collaboration
This week’s discussion thread focuses on two topics, revision and collaborative writing. Although the topics seem very different, they are actually closely related in professional writing. For example, in a collaborative writing project, peer revision is frequently continuous.
The essence of writing a business proposal is to secure approval for the project or action. Besides providing the supporting evidence and facts, it is important to revise the report; however, there is little time, and people sometimes consider that their first efforts are the best. Nevertheless, revision is critical in order to produce a successful piece of writing.
1. The Writing Commons discusses the role of revision in writing.

How can it help you develop your PowerPoint from the justification report?

3. In practice, writing business reports is usually a collaborative effort.

Read the article, “Building a Collaborative Writing”    (if it does not open, copy and paste this URL into your browser: http://www.infomanagementcenter.com/publications/best-practices-newsletter/2011-best-practices-newsletter/building-a-collaborative-writing-strategy/
Based on the article and your textbook, what are the advantages and disadvantages to collaborative writing? Which do you prefer under what circumstances?

Issues: Nursing homes Inadequate staffing and mandatory overtime · 1. Why is nurse’s workload so heavy? · 2.  Are good mandatory nurses after working five days straight?  · 3. Does patients get healthcare, if nurses are mandatory overtime and the lack of adequate nurse staffing can result in longer lengths of stay, patient dissatisfaction, higher readmissions.

   
Issues: Nursing homes – Inadequate staffing and mandatory overtime
· 1. Why is nurse’s workload so heavy?
· 2.  Are good mandatory nurses after working five days straight? 
· 3. Does patients get healthcare, if nurses are mandatory overtime and the lack of adequate nurse staffing can result in longer lengths of stay, patient dissatisfaction, higher readmissions.
I choose these three specific issues regarding nursing homes, Nurses mandatory overtime and under work. These issues need more attention and Patients in understaffed facilities face an increased rate of in-hospital mortality, a higher risk of infection, a rise in postoperative complications, and a greater number of falls.  After a long day shift, nurses are lucky to even sit down and eat dinner. Nurses collapse into bed only to wake up a few brief hours later to start the process over.

Issue: Legalization of Prostitution
Aspect 1: SafetyPro: Stern, S. W., (2019). Sex workers of the world unite. The American Scholar, pp. 40-54.
The author presents the case, largely though the words of sex-workers themselves, for de-criminalization and for allowing sex workers to control the conditions of their work—that is, to operate brothels themselves, choose their physicians, provide and receive benefits, and work outside brothels if they so choose – which will make them safer and less apt to be exploited.
Con: Der Spiegel Staff. (2013, May). How legalizing prostitution has failed. Der Spiegel Online. https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/human-trafficking-persists-despite-legality-of-prostitution-in-germany-a-902533.html
Staff writers report that since de-criminalization of prostitution in Germany in 2003, exploitation and human trafficking remain significant problems. According to one German law enforcement officer, Germany is a “center for the sexual exploitation of young women from Eastern Europe, as well as a sphere of activity for organized crime groups from around the world” (Germany’s Human Trafficking Problem section)

Modern organizations rely on the Internet for information and research necessary to stay competitive but this access can come with significant risk if they don’t take the necessary steps to safeguard their internal resources from outside attackers. In this week’s reading, various types of firewalls and firewall configurations were discussed. Describe the terms bastion host, DMZ, dual-homed firewall, screened host, and screened subnet and their roles in firewall architectures.

1. Communications within a computer network rely on numerous components for data to traverse from the initial sender of a message or file to the receiver at the distant end of the communication path. In addition to the media that the data travels across, the devices that guide the data packets through the network, and the protocols that establish end-to-end connectivity and negotiate the communication, network services play a critical role in providing the necessary addressing and name resolution services. Describe the following services and their role in network communications: ARP, DHCP, ICMP, SNMP, and DNS.
