State your opinion on whether Healthy People 2020 adequately addresses fetal and children’s environmental health.

/in /by

State your opinion on whether Healthy People 2020 adequately addresses fetal and children’s environmental health.

A great deal of scientific evidence has documented ways in which fetuses and children are more vulnerable than adults to toxic environmental chemicals. The following are a few of the reasons for this vulnerability:

During fetal life, chemicals can cause more things to go wrong. Cells are rapidly dividing, migrating from one place to another to form organs, and differentiating from stem cells into specialized cells. Toxicants that disrupt cellular processes have more targets during fetal life than during adult life.
During fetal life and infancy, chemical detoxification systems in the body are underdeveloped.
During fetal life and infancy, disruptions to the developing immune system may lead to autoimmune disorders and increased asthma in the future.
During childhood, children are in a growing stage; they eat, drink, and breathe more per pound of body weight than adults. This leads to a greater exposure dose of pollutants per pound of body weight.
During childhood, bones of children are in a growing stage, so children absorb more calcium from their gastrointestinal tracts than adults.
During fetal life and childhood, the brain is undergoing rapid development. Chemicals such as lead, which damage neurological cells, have more targets to cause neurobehavioral disorders in children, and these chemicals exert this damage at lower doses than are required for neurological damage to adults.
During childhood, children spend more time on floors indoors where toxicants are often highly concentrated (e.g., lead dust and pesticide residues) and have more hand-to-mouth activity that leads to ingestion of pollutants.
Additional information on this vulnerability is available from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website.

For the assignment:

Using the Internet, your textbook, and the South University Online Library, research fetal and children’s exposures to toxic substances. Pay particular attention to the topics related to:
Lead
Any other specific toxic chemicals listed
Preconception health and behaviors (whether avoidance of toxic chemicals is listed)
Review the website of Healthy People. Healthy People is a program that provides science-based, ten-year national objectives for improving the health of all US citizens. In your research, assess the extent to which fetal and children’s exposures are reflected in the Healthy People 2020 occupational safety and health objectives. Parental occupational chemical exposures can affect children by means of:
Exposure to men and women who are having families (reproductive and developmental hazards)
Exposure to children from chemicals from parents’ shoes and clothing and to pregnant women from male partners’ shoes and clothing
Review a few consumer education links on toxic exposure and healthy pregnancy and pediatrics in the category Toxic Exposure and Healthy Pregnancy in the Webliography.
Prepare a 2-page report in a Microsoft Word document answering the following:
Compare and summarize briefly the approach to children’s environmental exposures that you observed in the Healthy People 2020 objectives versus the educational material available on the links in the Webliography under the category Toxic Exposure and Healthy Pregnancy.
Explain what did you find to be most surprising or what most people would find surprising.
State your opinion on whether Healthy People 2020 adequately addresses fetal and children’s environmental health. Justify your opinion, and in doing so, be sure to include:
The purpose of Healthy People 2020 and its influence on health policy
Public health and educational efforts needed to get key information to prospective and current parents. Specifically consider public health efforts required to disseminate information on making changes in one’s life to reduce exposure to hazardous pollutants when preparing to conceive, during pregnancy, and after having children.
Conclude with your recommendations on the most important next steps for reducing fetal and childhood exposures to toxic pollutants in the United States.

Discuss how the proliferation of social media has changed leader communications. How have audiences been impacted by this new technology? Question 1

/in /by

Discuss how the proliferation of social media has changed leader communications. How have audiences been impacted by this new technology?
Question 1

William Penn, English religious leader, wrote: “Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood“(Penn, 1909). Evaluate his statement in regard to what you’ve learned about communicating effectively.

Question 2

Rewrite the following passage in an effort to achieve conciseness. Your corrections should address voice as well as language rules.

The highly pressured nature of critical-care nursing is due to the fact that the patients have life-threatening illnesses. Critical-care nurses must have possession of steady nerves to care for patients who are critically ill and very sick. The nurses must also have possession of interpersonal skills. They must also have medical skills. It is considered by most health-care professionals that these nurses are essential if there is to be improvement of patients who are now in critical care from that status to the status of intermediate care.

Along with your rewritten passage, provide a summary paragraph justifying the changes that you made.

Question 3

Discuss how the proliferation of social media has changed leader communications. How have audiences been impacted by this new technology?

Question 4

Compare and contrast the following two paragraphs taking into consideration the writer’s style and tone:

Regarding the prices of our products, respondents to our recent survey were negative. One third of them stated that if they could buy from another supplier, they would.

Clearly we are making enemies with our high prices. Many customers can’t stand it. An astonishing one third of the respondents to our recent survey would leave us if they could only find another supplier.

Explain health care costs in the United States.Insurance is the main source of financing in the health care industry today, and it is important to be knowledgeable of the types of health insurance models available.
Overview

Financial aspects of the health care industry are introduced in Week Four. As health care spending has continued to increase over the years, it is imperative that health care administrators understand how it is financed. In the United States, several funding sources are available: publicly funded insurance, privately funded insurance, cash, and charity care.

Insurance is the main source of financing in the health care industry today, and it is important to be knowledgeable of the types of health insurance models available. Some examples include marketplace plans, managed care plans, Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), worker’s compensation, TRICARE, Veterans Health Administration, and Indian Health Services. As one learns about these different models, it is necessary to understand why they were created. Government funded health insurance models and programs were created to address a vulnerable population whose health care needs were not being met. Privately funded insurance models were purchased either by a group or an individual as a financial protection against loss and risk should a catastrophic health incident occur.

Regardless of the type of health care financing, challenges arise. Health care administrators are continually asked to find solutions to control costs and understand and implement legislative changes as they are adopted into law.

What you will cover

The Financial Aspects of Health Care
Explain health care costs in the United States.
Financing
Who pays for the health care services?
Who produces or provides the health care service?
How much the producer or provider will be paid for this health care service?
