Proposal Paper: High Blood Pressure Introduction Hypertension happens typically when the pumping of blood by the body vessels becomes strained due to larger volumes of blood needed to be transported to various body parts but in a minimal amount of time. This is because the measurements of blood pressure show how much blood is being transported through the blood vessels and how strenuous it is for the blood to be pumped by the heart. Arteries that are so small leads to the resistance that the blood is being pumped to increase. Thus, the narrower the vessels are, the higher the blood pressure becomes. As per the studies conducted by scientists for some time, High Blood Pressure can indeed result in other diseases associated with the blood flow and the kind of pressure exerted by the blood to them, for example, Heart Attack, Brain Damage and many others. The treatment of Hypertension can be done in several ways, for example, taking medication and leading a healthy life. And in most cases, if the treatment methods don’t apply, it can lead to…

Competencies Executive Summary             My clinical preceptorship occurred at XXXX hospital telemetric unit. The patient population on the telemetric unit constitutes adults with critical conditions on the monitoring services. The five patients offered opportunities for learning and constant practice. As I finalized the 130-hour clinical requirement, I was able to meet the Nurse of the Future Core Competencies outlined by the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education and the Massachusetts Organization of Nurse Executives (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, 2016). The ten Nurse of the Future Core Competencies were developed with the motive to epitomize the minimum anticipations for nurses when they finalize their pre-licensure education. The competencies involve the perceptions, knowledge, and skills that new nurses should be capable of including into practice to offer competent care in the present health care setting. It was a reality that I integrated these competencies when liaising with patients, members of interdisciplinary teams, and nurses (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, 2016). The purpose of this paper is to outline the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that I have demonstrated for each of the Nurse…

A brief history of the ivory trade video review The video titled A brief history of the ivory trade, has discussed how ivory trade was carried out across Africa. It was primarily done for foreign exchange. The global crisis reached where the elephant population declined due to increased poaching. The trade was eventually banned across the world, and only the authorized state was allowed to participate in legal trade. America and the Chinese reached an agreement to end the ivory trade. Initially, the elephant population had come to extinction due to increased poaching and hunting, especially in Africa. In the past, from the inside earth documentary, the people of elephants was high. They were walking in herds freely in the forests. The relentless efforts to curb the trade have salvaged elephants, and their community started to increase further. In the 1970s and 1980s, the demand for ivory skyrocketed globally. Ivory was sold legally during those times, and it’s also sold illegally nowadays. Statistics show that a hundred thousand (100,000) elephants were killed annually to facilitate the slave trade. After ten…

Report on current research trends influence on athletic performance and physiology Introduction In recent decades, there has been an increase of interest level in the following of a low carbohydrate, low-carb (LCHO) diet, which several authorities advocate as producing certain health benefits, including weight loss. This trend derives motivation from the fact that fats can create the necessary energy the body needs and therefore act as substitutes of carbohydrates in the body. However, if some strict recommendations do not implement the low-carb diet, the consumption of foods with high-fat content may be potentially dangerous to the body. A low-carb diet is also referred to as a ketogenic (keto) diet and is defined as composed of high fat, moderate protein, and low carb in ratio. By eating a diet rich in fats and low in carbohydrates, one’s body goes into a ketosis state, which is a metabolic state that works by burning fat instead of glucose to produce energy. As a result, one enjoys health benefits, such as weight loss. Although this sounds plausible and backed by some scientific research findings,…

How can a city promote the use of public transportation? Introduction Most of the cities around the globe have developed because of the transport system. Resulting from mass motorization, cities have experienced increased commuter traffic, which led to higher rates of pollution. The public on the other hand responded by moving far from the polluted areas in the suburbs. Moreover, as the limit values of the fine dust increases beyond the acceptable levels, the public turned to public transportation to remedy pollution problems. There are many benefits that come with the use of public transportation system in cities. This includes the creation of more spaces in the urban areas, the reduction of emissions of gases from traffics that lead to air and environmental pollution. According to research performed on the effects of emissions on the environment, the result has it that emission from public transport is less than that from cars altogether. There has been the invention of public electrically powered train, trolleybuses, and trams which release no emissions at all. Public transport powered by renewable energy releases no carbon…

Film Editing: Out of Sight movie Clip. The background and storytelling of a movie depending on the pace and rhythm edits, which help establish other styles in the film. The pacing gives the producer plenty of time to anticipate the various possible outcome and can be altered to fit the needs of the film. Rhythm, on the other hand, is determined by the series of beats and numerous cuts before settling for the most suitable one. Hence, the rhythm of a movie works similarly to music composition; the beats, speed, and tune are all crucial to make it worthwhile. The rhythm of a film is determined by various aspects, which are the sound of the moving objects and people, the effect of the lenses on the moving items, camera lighting and distance, and lastly, the music. The film shows both normal and slow rate pacing but still manages to drive the message home. An average pace does not call for a course of alarm or any possible drama for the next scene. With usual pacing, the viewers can anticipate anything,…

Challenging and Appropriate Behaviors Identifying a challenging behavior is important when specialists wants to solve or manage developmental disorders. By definition, a challenging behavior is a problematic issue that affects a student including their family members, peers, and adults. Essentially, learning, sexual relationships, and safety are the three critical factors when identifying a challenging behavior (Chandler & Dahlquist, 2015). In this scenario, a case study of a student, Leonard, is presented for analysis-whether his behavior should be categorized as challenging or not. As a third-grade student, Leonard has been profiled by his teacher and referred to a specialized assessment (Chandler & Dahlquist, 2015). This analysis will present in detail if Leonard’s behavior warrants special attention. To arrive into such conclusions, it will be significant to ask several questions including if the behavior interferes with the student’s learning, if the behavior cripples social relationships, if the behavior impedes self-esteem, if the behavior is harmful, and the frequency of such behavior. At the same time, it remains paramount for assessors to extensively analyze these questions by defining the target with close attention…

Stanley Hall: Theory on Adolescence Stanley is known for being a pioneer in child and education psychology.  His work shaped the way society views adolescents in terms of education, psychology, and culture. According to Stanley, adolescence is a time marked by intense turmoil. The reason for the ‘storm and stress’ in their lives is because they are trying to maintain a balance in nearly all aspects of their lives. Adolescents often struggle with self-doubt and over-confidence. They also go through periods of dependence on their own ability and independence on parents and family. There is also the element of biological influences brought about by raging hormones as their bodies deal with the transition from children to adults. Stanley Hall touched on a lot of areas affecting adolescents. His research ranged from depression to sexuality, among many others. Stanley indicated that adolescents are more likely to be depressed. The causes of depression are mainly centered on friends and lovers. There is an increase in self-criticism and consciousness as an adolescent is very alert when it comes to him and others (Stirrups,…
