mental health professionals in the United States In contemporary society, one cannot just take much of the face value. Hence, there is need of critical thinkers in the society today. To achieve this, there is a need for more people to make decisions about pursuing psychology. For instance, there are no sufficient mental health professionals in the United States and the whole world. Hence, there is a need for training and educating other mental health professionals in meeting the demand in Nevada and the world at large. These mental health professionals can help in meeting the needs of the United States and the world. So there is a need for encouraging students to undertake psychology since they will help in addressing mental health issue patients effectively. Consequently, psychology is the best to major in. The evidence provided is not bias since it clearly shows that choosing psychology is the best since it brings help in society. If one has very dreamt of making a significant difference in people lives, then getting a psychology degree is the best choice to choose…
Sewage/Waste Treatment (Environmental Health) There are various methods of sewage treatment, such as composting toilets, septic systems, among others. Composting toilets convert human excrement into a soil-like material that can be hauled away or buried underground. The toilets are easy to operate since they require little water. They can also deactivate pathogens found in human wastes making them less infectious. Friis (2012) noted that composting systems such as Clivus Multrum disables bacterial and aerobic actions hence ensuring health safety. Debris can also be treated through the septic system, which is an underground well that can hold human sanitary wastes. Further, the septic system disposes of waste from households, businesses, communities, and public places where people may gather. Septic systems also apply the concept of aerobic and anaerobic to treat wastes. Wastes also exist in the solid form referred to as solid wastes, and examples include municipal solid wastes, also known as trash or the garbage and sludge from treatment plants. Solid waste can be managed through recycling, combustion, and combusting. Recycling involves reuse of solid waste whereby the waste is…
Network Packet Forensics The default methods of capturing IP addresses is the lipcap(pcap) format. Through a binary format, the libcap(pcap) format captures details including time and duration of logins. Through a magic number system, the network packet forensics can provide particular information, including the identity of a file, the author and the IP address the document originated (Sikos, 2020). The benefits of network packet forensics are offloading of unnecessary hardware and software processing capabilities, and allocating the power to alternative functions. For example, FortiASIC NP6 as a network packet forensics program reduces the processing that goes to wastage, hence offering IPv4 and IPv6 traffic additional functioning capacity. Forensics analytics network packets are conducted when a gadget is online, to capture live address, subnet mask and packet filter binary data (Sikos, 2020). As such, network packet forensics offers programmed functions that allow to access deleted content, construct an image from destroyed bits of information and provide location data based on IP addresses of retrieved documents. In the year 2000, EtherApe a programme innovated by Toledo offered network packet forensics techniques over…
The coronavirus disease of 2019 The coronavirus disease of 2019 is abbreviated as Covid -19. That was a name given by the World Health Organization in a press release made on 11th February 2020.It is a viral disease caused by the novel coronavirus known as SARS-COV-2 that is believed to have originated from Wuhan, China, in late 2019 from where it has spread to the entire globe (Yi et al., 2020). The Chinese World Health Organization office on 31st December 2019 reported strange pneumonia that hadn’t existed before had been recorded in Wuhan, a city in Hubei province of China. Some new infections that led to the pneumonia were caused by the new coronavirus, which was named “2019 novel coronavirus.” The United States government has tried its level best by sensitizing citizens on how to control the spread of the virus by washing one’s hands and avoidance of touching one’s face and especially the mucus membranes thus can be rated 50% in trying to combat the same. That is because the virus is believed to thrive through the membranes examples…
whether autonomous decision necessarily reflects the wellbeing of a patient Aspects of patient care have frequently been encountered with ethical dilemmas, and physicians find themselves in a hard situation as they care for patients. The dilemmas can be resolved with a focus on maximizing benefits by respecting the decisions of the patient and minimizing suffering or harm to the patient. Patient autonomy is one of the ethical arguments that have been at the center of controversy for quite some time. Physicians are stuck in between making patient autonomy the ultimate ethical good in medicine and protecting patients from making their own decision that could be irrational. Patient autonomy is the state where the patient is in a position to control their personal choice without the influence of their health care provider. The concept makes room for patient education but does not allow the physician to make decisions for the patient. Therefore, this paper will focus on the ultimate positive direction to take and decide whether autonomous decision necessarily reflects the wellbeing of a patient. Patient autonomy and the influence of…
Importance of Advocacy Healthcare policy provides nurses with the context in which to practice, defines their roles as well as integrating appropriate standards for the delivery of care and addressing conditions necessary for that care to occur (citation policies 2). The primary concern for nurses is patient care; however, healthcare policies influence decisions made by nurses as they strive to offer services that comply with payer guidelines. Medical policies often describe these requirements and define the conditions that nurse practitioners must meet to receive payment (Xue et al., 2016). Healthcare policies the items and services covered and the steps nurse practitioners must take to receive payment. Healthcare policies represent society’s health goals and priorities at micro and macro levels. It is policies at the micro level-policies within the narrow scope of a practitioner’s work responsibilities- that directly influence nursing practice. Nurses, on their part, can also impact healthcare policy by joining professionals and advocacy (Burke, 2016). Nurses need to understand that they have the capacity and responsibility to influence current and future healthcare delivery systems. Importance of Advocacy Advocacy is…
Massage Therapy: Annotated Bibliography Field, Tiffany. “Massage therapy research review.” Complementary therapies in clinical practice vol. 20,4 (2014): 224-9. doi:10.1016/j.ctcp.2014.07.002 Massage therapy has been used as a complementary intervention for muscle energy for decades. This article seeks to elaborate on some of the positive effects that moderate pressure on the body can bring forth. It argues that moderate pressure massage is beneficial to the person because it has been proven to aid in weight gain among infants, alleviate pain caused by such conditions as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, and increase attention to the task. However, the article decries the lack of most recent articles that address the topic, making recommendations for further reviews. This article will be necessary for my research because it elaborates on the direct positive outcomes of massage therapy. My main idea is to demonstrate to the students that massage therapy is good for their health and overall performance in school. Sherman, Karen J et al. “Effectiveness of therapeutic massage for a generalized anxiety disorder: a randomized controlled trial.” Depression and anxiety, vol. 27,5 (2010): 441-50. doi:10.1002/da.20671…
relationship between addiction and teenagers and the effects caused in their brain development Some people believe that addiction and substance abuse mean the same. However, the two have different meanings. Substance abuse refers to the use of a particular drug, but it is not necessarily a habit. On the other hand, addiction comes when a specific substance controls an individual. This means one can not go a day without taking the drug. The relationship between substance abuse and addiction is that both involve the use of drugs. Besides, substance abuse can also cause addiction if the user takes the substance for an extended period. Over the decades now, teenagers have indulged in drug and substance use in large numbers. This paper seeks to discuss the relationship between addiction and teenagers and the effects caused in their brain development. Also, info will be provided regarding how spiritual health progress affects the possibility of teen abuse of drugs and addiction. Many insalubrious behaviors often instigate during adolescence. In most cases, teenagers begin to engage in sexual immoralities and substance abuse. These behaviors…
Teratogens: Environmental Sources of Birth Defects Introduction Children born with congenital disabilities encounter much stress in their lives. The burden is multiplied for parents who have to take care of a special child. The health and economic implications of children with congenital disabilities are, at times a significant burden to the caregivers. Studies show that at least 15% of congenital disabilities arise from environmental exposure to teratogens. Prenatal exposure to teratogens results in physical, mental, and cognitive developmental anomalies. Most of the teratogenic congenital disabilities are preventable. This topic caught my interest because it explains environmental sources of congenital disabilities and shows the possibility of preventing them. What were the most important pieces of knowledge you gained related to this topic? Types of teratogens Many substances have the potential to affect the prenatal development of a fetus. Most of these substances and their effects are well known to the mothers. Others, however, may not be common knowledge. The knowledge gained from this topic brings awareness of the other potentially dangerous substances that many have little understanding of. One such substance…
