Scenario-based on patient hypertension The blood pressure of a person fluctuates throughout the day. Doctors usually read both blood pressure of arteries when heart contracts (systolic blood pressure) and the pressure of blood in arteries when the heart relaxes (Daskalopoulou, Rabi, Zarnke, Dasgupta, Nerenberg, Cloutier & McKay, 2015). For an average person, systolic blood pressure should be below 120 mmHg, and diastolic pressure should be below 80mmHg (Kaplan, 2010). Therefore, a blood pressure reading of 160/110 mmHg is a cause of concern. However, to diagnose Herb with hypertension, I would consider reading his blood pressure for a second time. This is because one high blood pressure reading cannot confirm if Herb has hypertension as his blood pressure may be due to emotional or physical stress (Rose-Jones & V Mclaughlin, 2015). To diagnose him with hypertension, I will ask him to pay two more visits to the hospital. Hypertension is a severe chronic condition that has a high mortality rate worldwide. Studies have shown that poor communication skills of physicians and doctors are a barrier to the treatment of patients with…
Paradigms of Statistical Inference Statistical inference presents a more specific platform that defines the relationship between variables that are being investigated. Making a statistical inference is based on the available data to help in deducing properties of the existing probability distribution. The inference is effectively developed based on the hypotheses that are being assessed. The key assumption that is made when making a statistical inference is that the sample data obtained is a representation of the larger population. Thus, the findings are developed in reference to the total population. The likelihood of making the correct decision in research involves the assessment of a given hypothesis. However, there is a need to focus on different statistical approaches, such as multiple working hypothesis methods that can be evaluated to create an understanding of a given issue and serve as an alternative to hypothesis testing. It is vital to ensure the accuracy of data when making statistical inferences. Controlling bias present aa stronger emphasis on critical analytical aspects that promote better and accurate results. Hobbs and Hilborn (2006) provide a focus on alternatives…
Criminal Justice-Investigative Plan The investigative plan provides a plan of action that law enforcement agents will use in case of crime. Various steps will be taken by the security team to identify ways in which security can be beefed up based on the findings. The first step is to review the police reports that were written when the robbery was reported. Secondly, the witness that law enforcement will be reinterred viewed to identify the gaps that might be available in the report. Thirdly, reviewing forensic evidence that was gathered at the scene will be done. Further, the tactical analysis of the reports will be conducted to identify patterns of the robberies.

These findings will then be submitted to the police officers whom they can add to their reports. Using the analyzed results, the security team will lease with police officers to help them with crime mapping resources that will help in pinning the criminal. Additionally,…

Obesity puts both males and females at a higher risk of infertility Obesity puts both males and females at a higher risk of infertility. A survey showed that obese and overweight males had a higher likelihood of having non-functional sperms or a lower counter when compared with normal males. A BMI of 24 or lower is healthy; above 25 is considered overweight, and if it exceeds 30, one is obese. In recent years obesity has increasingly become an issue in most countries across the globe. It is no longer a problem for developed nations. This rise in overweight issues has coincided with a drop in fertility worldwide, especially in the past five decades. One Dr. Sebastien Czernichow, a researcher from Ambroise Pare University Hospital, Paris, believes this is not coincidental. Czernichow and the company compiled 14 previous surveys that had involved about 10,000 men. In normal males, 24% had a low sperm count, and 2.6 % had non-viable sperms. Overweight men had a rate of 25.6% with low sperm count and 4.7% with non-functional sperms. And obese males had 32.4%…
Everything you know about Obesity is wrong This article explains the issues concerning the various effects and people’s perceptions about Obesity. The article is written for an extended period. Many people have had negative ideas about Obesity, with some people stigmatizing the obese around them. Obesity, according to various medical communities, occurs as a result of individual failing that ends up straining people’s health care system; it also shrinks a country’s Gross Domestic Product as well as affecting the strength of the military. The author of this article, however, proves such perceptions otherwise and finds no harm with the state of being obese. The article explains the level and rate at which large populations of American citizens are affected by Obesity. This follows research done by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that found out that nearly 80 percent of adults, as well as a third of children in America, are obese. The author, however, stands in defense of the victims of Obesity that the condition is not that serious as people make it be. So the title of…
DIVERSITY DISCUSSION WEEK 2 The city in which one will focus on diversity in Cleveland, Ohio. Specifically, one will discuss the African American ethnic group, who make up 53.3% of the total population. Based on the communication, African Americans’ interaction is characterized by an expressive way of passing information but in an emotional way. Thus, they are perceived as emotionally intimidating and threatening based on how they express their views. Their communication style is associated with a level of trust and relationship existing between the Afro-Americans and other communities (Moore & Toliver, 2010). African Americans value their close personal space. The spacing among the interacting groups among African Americans is very close. The social organization in the ethnic group is strongly affiliated with a religion. To them, the church is an integral part of decisions both internally and in a social context. The cohesion of the families is associated with religion, grandmothers, and female genders. On-time perception, the ethnicity values the present period rather than the unforeseen future. Based on environmental control, African Americans in the cases of traditional illness…

This condition is divided into three main types, which are; nuclear cataract, cortical cataract, and subscapular cataract, which affects different parts of the eye.
