Unlocking Doors That Stay Locked Slam, the echo of metal on metal, the door shuts behind me, and there I was all alone. The door slamming was an emotional lightning bolt shooting through my soul as I found myself in solitary confinement. I had nothing but a thin mattress that provided no comfort, a blanket that held no heat, and a torn-up book. Unfortunately, the book wasn’t anything I would typically read. Emotionally, I was in a dark place. I was overwhelmed because I had to sit there for the next six months. I kept asking myself the question, “What am I going to do?” Being in a cell that provided no stimulus would take some time getting used to. There was very little light, and all the walls were gray. It reeked of urine and mildew. The urinal was in the cell, and the prison was over 50 years old. Gunk was built up in the corners of the window and along the walls. The paint was peeling off the bunk and the cell door. Previous inmates had scratched…

Literacy/Numeracy Issues Health literacy or numeracy plays an essential role in health and health care settings. Unfortunately, many patients face have limited literacy and numeracy skills that compromise their health outcomes (Parker, 2000). When there are literacy/numeracy limitations, patients face difficulties communicating with health care needs or understanding self-care instructions. For example, the patient may not comprehend basic vocabulary, fails to assimilate instructions and warnings on medication labels, and failure to follow-up appointments as required (Rothman et al., 2008). It is crucial for health care providers to ensure that they understand the literacy and numeracy levels of their patients to assist in addressing such problems. I have encountered situations where poor literacy and numeracy skills prevented the attainment of health goals. One diabetic patient has difficulties interpreting food labels and approximating the right portion sizes. Later, it was determined the patient willingly selected foods high in fat and sugar against the recommendation of the nutritionist. Evidently, the patient did not have health literacy to fully comprehend the health risks of his behavior (Parker, 2000). Another elderly patient experienced adverse drug…

The speech is arranged in such a way as to hopefully cause the audience to accept all or part of the expressed view. Though the overarching goal of a persuasive speech is to convince the audience to accept a perspective, not all audiences can be convinced by a single speech and not all perspectives can persuade the audience.

WATER BODY ESSAY Water Body Essay This assignment is a 3-4 page essay in which you choose a river, lake, wetland, watershed, or even a coastline to describe and analyze, from both an ecological and personal perspective. Choosing a Water Body A good way to approach this is to write about lake, stream, wetland, etc. that you already know well — something you have had personal contact with and knowledge of; water for which you have a sense of place. For me, as an example, that might be Crooked Lake in Michigan′s Upper Peninsula — a small natural lake where my grandparents bought a rustic cabin back in 1960 and where I learned to swim, canoe, and fish as a child (and where I′ve brought my own children many years later). Or it could be the Des Plaines River here in northern Illinois — the waterway that slices through the middle of Joliet, my hometown, dividing the city into its East and West Sides.
