The rising health cost in US Introduction The health costs are rapid, rising at a high rate in the United States of America as compared to the past decades. The main purpose of health insurance is to minimize the costs for the employees since it covers pre and post hospitalization, medical checkup, and transportation charges related to health costs. The rising health cost The increasing health costs hence have affected the profit margin generated by the companies since they have resulted to increasing of the total expenditure for the organization, which affects the profit maximization and shareholder wealth maximization objectives (Babcock & Kogut, 2016). The increase in health costs has increased the conflict between employers and employees due to the high demand for high pay to match the rising costs of health. The disagreement has affected the overall performance and productivity of the organization; this is because of employee morale. The employers hence have embraced the following in the attempt to minimize the health costs which employment of people on contract basis or even outsourcing of service from other service…
Theoretical Account of participant’s Current Development Stage Overview This research aimed to select an individual, examine, and summarize the participant’s present phase of development based on various development concepts and textbooks. The analysis was performed on an adult male individual, John, a neighbor. John, who is 27 years old, is a receptionist and serves at a local restaurant in the neighborhood. John is married to Lydia, 24 years of age, and they have two kids. John lives with his spouse and kids in their apartment. John’s consent was sought before the commencement of the investigation. The study involved interviewing John about his present life, activities, and preferences to gauge his adherence to the textbook theories of growth. The study also involved observing John’s activities while both at work and home for one week. Theoretical Account of participant’s Current Development Stage Baltes et al. (2014) describes adulthood to commence around the age of 20, persists beyond 60 years, and includes three phases, early adulthood, middle, and late. Individuals within the age span of the mid-20s to mid-forties are assumed to be…

Mid-range Nursing Theories Nursing is based on the provision of care to patients and helping the patients to understand self-care when the nurse is not around. Nursing is based on several theories, and mid-range forms part of the nursing theory. Although mid-range theories are shallower than grand theories, their contribution to the healthcare field cannot be overlooked. One of the most common fields where mid-range theories of self-care are applicable is in the treatment of chronic diseases. Mid-range theories provide an effective link between nursing practice and grand nursing theories. The application of mid-range nursing theories has been seen in the provision of self-care among patients with chronic diseases. The article by Riegel et al. (2019) presents the application of the mid-range nursing theory of self-care in the treatment of chronic diseases. The applicability of mid-range theories in nursing provides a chance for developing holistic care among patients who need self-care. Salazar-Balazaj et al. (2017) also assessed the impact of mid-range nursing theories on aging individuals and came up with positive results. The aging population requires the freedom to take care of their…
early therapeutic approaches Now that you have explored some of the early therapeutic approaches, please go to the Community Colleges of Spokane Library online and look for at least one research article in a scientific journal about one of them (Psychoanalysis, Adlerian, Gestalt, or Existential Therapy). Since these approaches are old and not as commonly used as those in the next modules of this course, it is important that you keep your search criteria general to get enough results from which to choose. For instance, use ″Adlerian″ and ″psychoanalysis″ as search terms rather than ″Alfred Adler″ and ″psychotherapy.″ For additional support with searching a library database, please watch this brief tutorial ″ [unique_solution]Academic Search Complete-Tutorial (external links below) Minimize Video .″ Then write a 250 to 300 word post that: 1. Provides a summary of the approach′s effectiveness in the treatment of any behavioral health disorder. Make sure to provide the title(s) of the article(s) and other identifying information (e.g. authors, dates of publication). 2. Lists the limitations of the approach in regards to the client population(s) described by the…
differences and similarities between the setting and framing Weaver addresses differences and similarities between the setting and framing of the “second-level” agenda. The author also examines the similarities and differences between the shaping and priming of the agenda. Information on the amount of framing, agenda-setting, and priming studies indexed by interaction, findings on cognitive processes in the design, program-setting, and framing are also presented (Weaver 2007). According to Weaver, there are significant similarities between the two phases of program setting and other derivatives in the media. The writer, however, indicates that each element is distinct and not identical. It means that journalists and media outlets are using the three components to achieve the desired result and increase the chance to meet the needs of the public in the sense of news production and distribution. The concept of salience, which often has two significances, emerges similar to other studies. The first one concerns the first step of the setting of the agenda, which focuses on perceived importance. As pointed out, in these situations, news content must be chosen and prioritized to…

Consumer products Do some research and tell the story of an American brand/company (past or present) doing business abroad, and the lessons learned. Find a domestic manufacturer of consumer goods that either modified their existing, successful-at-home product (like Pringles), created an entirely new product line to sell to a foreign market, or even a company that tried unsuccessfully to sell a product abroad despite success with it in the States. The company you choose could be from any of a variety of industries, from food to automotive to technology and beyond. In at least 2 pages MLA format with works cited page, tell the story of this company/brand/product and how it all worked out, for better or worse, and the lessons learned along the way.[unique_solution] Consider the following questions to assist in your research: Why did this American brand have to do things differently for a foreign audience and how did it choose to do so? How did the company figure out this was necessary? Was it successful in its effort? Why or why not? Had the foreign market been…
COMPARISON OF TWO WORKS Comparison of two works from the syllabus, one of which must be selected from the Term 2 syllabus. Your analysis will be based on both shared elements and points of contrast between the texts, and as with the first essay, requires a strong thesis. A successful analysis will begin by locating what aligns the two works and also identifying where they differ, but the strength of its case will rest on the grounds of your chosen comparison. How might we compare Ibsen’s A Doll’s House with Brecht’s Mother Courage? What connections can be said to link Rimbaud’s “A Drunken Boat” with Apollinaire’s “Zone,” or with Césaire’s Notebook of a Return to the Native Land? Can we legitimately read Lu Xun’s “Diary of a Madman” alongside Conrad’s Heart of Darkness? [unique_solution]A weak comparison might restrict itself to pointing out the obvious in terms of character or theme; a stronger one will explore the stakes of each work as a response to shared problems of subject matter, form, genre or address – as varying responses, that is, to…
