According to (“Essays – Tristan Harris”, 2018) technology hijacks people psychological vulnerabilities. In his article, Mr. Harris states his second hijack as “put a slot machine in a billion pockets.” A study by Qualtrica and Accel found out that millennials prefer digital communications and that they look at their phones 150 times a day. This is stated by Mr. Harris is due to the presence of an intermittent variable reward (Gifford, 2013).

The introduction of the bill aimed to protect patients from surprising medical bills, expand transparency in healthcare costs, reduce the cost of prescription medicine, and improve investment in public health (Gaffney & McCormick, 2017).

NURS 561 HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION Discussion Prompt #1 Response to Lisa Otten Hello Lisa, thank you for the more elaborative and educative discussion. It is important to listen to patients to assess their level of knowledge and then ascertain any education they might need. Health promotion values are most likely to conflict with the values of various patients. However, the conflict in values should not affect the treatment of the patient or the relationship between the nurse and the patient negatively. Some of the conflicts might be a result of the patient’s lack of awareness; hence it is recommended that whenever a nurse realizes patient’s unawareness, they should assume the responsibility of educating the patient (Feo et.al. 2017). The nurse should assure the patient of the privacy of any information they may reveal for them to feel confident with the nurse. Reference Feo, R., Rasmussen, P., Wiechula, R., Conroy, T., & Kitson, A. (2017). Developing effective and caring nurse-patient relationships.
