Nursing: USA healthcare system Modern medical care remains a close resemblance of the ancient form traced back to the 1970s, much more alike to medical practice in 1970, 1925, or even in 1945. More coordinated and structured medical institutions at control, universal health coverage is nearly exceeding 80% of the entire global population subsidizing the safety area (Catlin & Cowan, 2015). This extensive coverage by public and private insurance firms has caused imminent impacts as the health sector hits 20% of GDP, causing the systems to be unstable and unsustainable posing significant changes within the next twenty years (Catlin & Cowan, 2015). Changes in health economics expenditure, health market economies, and policies are outlined in this paper. Changes in healthcare economics consequently influenced the lifestyle leading to a revolution of how health care is delivered at institutional and financial levels (Getzen, 2017). There occurred numerous changes, for instance, as shown below: In the 17th Century In the 18th Century Sole doctors delivering health care had Received individual financing GDP was less than 3% Health systems Financed by partners and affiliations…
Addictions Discussions The term addiction goes beyond the use of substances or chemicals that alters an individual’s normal functioning and reasoning owing to the prolonged use of such substances. Instead, it entails both the extreme dependence on such substances as well as repetitive behavioral aspects that arises from one’s inability to regulate unpleasant behavior(Zilberman et al., 2018). The behavioral addictions manifest through sex addiction, serial gambling, addiction to masturbation, or any other non-conforming behavioral aspect. The road to addiction is within a continuum, and no one could become addicted without following that path. The first path that most individuals who are living free from behavioral or substance addiction find themselves is the total abstinence phase followed by the abuse stage that separates addiction from abstinence(Zilberman et al., 2018). The third phase of addiction arises from the continuous abuse of either the substance or the repetition of the behavior until someone starts struggling without the substance or the behavior. From the medical model of addiction’s perspective, addiction is an aspect that lies within an individual and views addiction as an illness…

Behaviours Associated With Cognitive Disorders Cognitive disorders are often associated with certain problematic behaviours. These behaviours can either be observed in the patient by the caregivers or can be reported by the patient. Common behaviours associated with cognitive disorders include hallucinations, agitation and disinhibition, and identity confusion. Hallucinations are sensational and experiences that are not understandable to others, given they are only real and vivid to the patient experiencing them, and they can result in positive and negative consequences. Hallucinations are classified into the auditory, visual, olfactory, and tactile categories. Auditory hallucinations include the patient claiming to hear voices and other sounds like murmuring and whispering that cannot be verified by anybody else. With visual hallucinations, a person sees objects, people, and patterns that are not present, for example, seeing snakes crewing over the bed when they are not there. Olfactory hallucinations are characterized by a sense of taste or smell that is not present. This behaviour can be potentially dangerous for a patient who believes he is being poisoned as he might refrain from eating. The tactile hallucinations involve…
Major concepts of Personality Disorders Socioeconomic class and schizophrenia Schizophrenia occurs more often in lower socioeconomic groups. A survey jointly conducted by American psychiatric professionals and sociologists found that the prevalence of schizophrenia is inversely proportional to social class, and the ratio of low social level to high social level is 9: 1. It is speculated that this may be related to the weak economic level, poor living environment, lively activities, occupational insecurity, and other psychological and social stress loads are related. Based on its genetic qualities, it is prone to disease. The parenting environment plays a role in the onset of schizophrenia. Some people find that patients with schizophrenia often have stricter family education methods and intense inner conflicts(Kring& Johnson, 2018). Most of the above situations occur before the onset of illness, and most of them have adverse experiences in childhood, such as father’s alcoholism and parental divorce. Being an illegitimate child, lacking family care, and being sexually assaulted at an early age are all risky health trends. Parents with strange personality or suffering from mental or neurological diseases,…

Addiction to cell phones Cell phones are harmful to students in schools. This condition is making cell phones to be banned in schools. Banning cell phones in school ensures that students are not addicted to cell phones. It also provides that while in class, students focus on their schoolwork. Reports on banning cell phones in schools have increased globally. Teachers, as well as the parents, should support each other to ensure that students don’t use cell phones both in schools and outside school (Mupinga, 2017). Parents, guardians, and teachers believe that the learning of students in school is disturbed as well as harmed by cell phones. The achievement of students has declined over some years in several nations. The mental health of students has declined rapidly, which makes parents, as well as teachers, wonder what is happening in the health of the students (Shaw, 2012). Children don’t have enough sleep and don’t eat enough healthful food as well as get involved in physical activities. Children don’t sleep anymore because they used most of their time on their phones.

Is Cohabitation the Replacement for Marriage? Cohabitation or marriage? This is a dilemma facing many couples today. And it seems like cohabitation may be winning. In the last 60 years, American families have demonstrated what researchers call a “retreat from marriage” (Lundberg, Pollak & Stearns, 2016). The decline in marriage has coincided with a rise in cohabitation. An increase in divorce and cohabitation have been identified as some of the most prominent behavioral changes in families over the past decades (Perelli‐Harris et al., 2017). These two behaviors have profoundly altered the institution of marriage. What was once a lifelong commitment has become something that can be potentially dissolved. And certain aspects of intimate relationships that were confined to marriage now take place outside of marriage. So, is cohabitation a replacement for marriage? This depends on an individual‘s perception of the institution of marriage. For some, cohabitating partnerships function as a transition into eventual marriage. They present an opportunity to learn more about their partners in order to decide if marriage is a viable option. For others, cohabitation is an alternative…
