Physicians:

Scenario 1: One of the physicians on staff is telling you about a study that he is doing on his patients. He hopes to have the study published and to receive a grant to expand his research. He offers to hire you to help him with the data collection during your off hours. You accept and begin helping him. You start collecting data. When you access the file the next day, you realize that he has removed a number of patients from the study. You suspect that they were removed intentionally, but you cannot be sure. You put your suspicions aside and proceed with your work and add more patients to the database. A few days later, more patients have been removed from the database. When you do some investigation, you discover that the patients who were removed were sicker and/or had a poor outcome. This is a problem and may prevent the rewarding of the grant money to this project.

Scenario 2: You are traveling with your work laptop to a conference and leave it for five minutes at the airport terminal as you go to the bathroom. You asked your colleague to keep an eye on it, but when you return, your colleague has boarded the plane and taken your belongings. As you look through, you realize your laptop is missing. When you confront your colleague, she says it was just there a moment ago and she is certain she brought it on board with her. Your laptop contains secure information regarding your organization and has remote access to your clinical information system. The policy at your organization for a data breach is to call tech support immediately and report the breach. You think it may just be misplaced and begin looking.

Choose one of the scenarios above and answer the following:

  • What challenges are present in the scenario, and what are some steps that can be taken to address them?
  • What is the relationship between ethics and policy? Do they always match up with one another?
  • If individual ethics do not align with organizational policy, what might be the end result?

Support your answer with relevant resources.

A Pollution Prevention Plan:

A Pollution Prevention Plan (P4) Pre-Assessment Study

 

 

 

 

 

Abstract

This undertaking entails a Pre-Assessment study on behalf of the board of directors at ABC Agriculture Production Inc; it explores the general operational characteristics, potential ecological health effects, potential human health impacts, potential societal health impacts, and risk assessment and regulatory requirements.

 

 

General Operational Characteristics

In this context, we will review the General Operational Characteristics of the organization. In essence, ABC Agriculture Production Inc. is located in Southwestern Nebraska, covering 640-acre land. Besides this land, particularly to thea  west, privately owned rancher’s property harbors a commercially producing and leased natural gas well.A major river’s small active salt fork exists east of the 640-acre land. Production offices and barns meant for confined animal feed operations are presumed to cover an area of 160 acres; this involves separate large, full barns set for chicken, beef cattle, and swine operations, six barn-discharge wastewater lagoons, and one feed mill. Alfalfa and corn hay fields are presumed to cover 320 acres of the land; groundwater irrigation wells supply the irrigation sprinkler systems to sustain these crops. The remaining 160 acres manifest caliche and gypsum open pit excavation mines; these products are essentially excavated and traded by the truckload.

The organization primarily uses commercial nitrogen fertilizers to sustain crops, commercial herbicides to control weeds, and commercial pesticides to manage relevant pests.The involved animals are sustained through relevant administration of routine injections; antibiotics and vitamin supplements are also critically and routinely appreciated. Dead animal remains are usually disposed of in a pit; the pit has to be covered with calcium hydroxide daily. The facility manifests an EPA-recognized National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. It is often applied as a combined wastewater/stormwater effluent permit. Also, the organization appreciates a hazardous waste permit for discarding all rejected pharmaceutical, pesticide, and herbicide wastes. Relevant rainfall and wind speeds should be 21 inches annually and 12 mph, respectively. Humidity should manifest an average provision of 65.8 % and a dew point of 37.9°F. Furthermore, high/Low temps range from summer (91°F/63°F) to winter (40°F/14°F).

Potential Ecological Health Impacts

The primary ecological pollutants in this context involve TSS, ammonia, TKN, and TDS. Also, the involved herbicides and pesticides used in the site are presumed to manifest chemical pollutants such as organophosphorus, organochlorines, and carbamates, which manifest critical ecological health impacts. Mining activities relevant to the caliche and gypsum excavation sites can potentially lead to the leaching of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate dihydrate to the nearby surrounding attracting potential environmental consequences. This includes disruption of the existing biodiversity as the surface gets cleared with eventual surface mines. The provisions of chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand required in this context to oxidize and degrade relevant organic materials are presumed to be relatively enhanced; these substances manifest the capacity to potentially impede the degradation of released contaminants (Wu et al., 2018).

Deceased animal remains and animal feed operations manifest the capacity to cause enhanced levels of methane gas production. This may also involve the realization of extreme levels of growth hormones, animal blood, antibiotics, silage from leachate from corn feed, and pathogenic manure, which is detrimental to the environment’s well-being. The levels of the mentioned contaminants, especially heavy metals, herbicides, pathogens, and pesticides, may concentrate to the extent of leaching to the immediate surrounding with eventual critical environmental pollution. Additionally, the organization’s confined animal feeds operations may attract the concept of the disrupted ecosystem; the potential spread of pathogens and associated diseases in this context can interfere with the relevance of organisms and bacteria in the immediate environment, which may lead to an ecological imbalance.

Potential Human Health Impacts

The organization’s implications critically manifest the capacity to threaten the health and well-being of humans. This can be captured from the concept that it not only leads to the release of potentially harmful products but also threatens the immediate environment that harbors relevant people. For instance, the organization’s operations that favor the growth and sustainability of pathogens pose a significant threat to the health of the immediate population. These pathogens can attract critical human diseases as the ecosystem sustains disruption from the implications of the relevant pollution (Gwenzi et al., 2018). The relevance of gypsum and caliche mining activities also manifests a critical capacity to threaten the well-being of the immediate people. For example, the emission of extreme dust to the involved persons can attract essential breathing complications.

The unfilled mines may be breeding environments for disease-causing organisms such as mosquitoes; this may be revealed when the mines accumulate stagnant rainwater. Also, uncontrolled disposal of pharmaceutical, pesticide, and herbicide rejects manifests the capacity to threaten human health (Brusseau et al., 2019).For instance, these chemicals may find their way into consumable water and raw edibles;people can consume the chemicals indirectly, which proves to be a critical health risk.This is also emphasized by the heavy use of commercial fertilizers and supplements. Though these provisions tend to boost production significantly, they are presumed to amount to compromised consumables as their relevance to health and well-being is concerned. Essentially, the concept of potential toxication finds its relevance in this context since the mentioned chemicals are hazardous.

Potential Societal Health Impacts

The organization’s effluents can influence and corrupt societal health critically. This is emphasized by the relevance of emissions such as TDS, TKN, ammonia, and TSS. Accumulating these chemical substances in the environment can corrupt the well-being of the environment that harbors societal and global populations (Pervin et al., 2008). This is because they generally interact and compromise the essentials that sustain human life. For instance, when the mentioned pollutants deviate from the acceptable limits, they are considered harmful. An excellent example involves a situation whereby drinking water manifests high TDS levels involving heavy metals. It is presumed that such water may attract diseases such as kidney infections, especially when the amounts prove to be highly elevated. This proves to be a societal risk since the concerned water is accessible to the entire society. Ammonia may cause critical health issues such as burns and swellings in one’s airways and eventual lung damage. Since this provision is uncontrollable when released into the environment, it can affect many people indiscriminately, leading to a society that sustains an unhealthy population. This concept is still expressed by the uncontrolled disposal of hazardous chemical wastes, primarily pharmaceutical, pesticide and herbicide rejects. Whenever they are released into the environment, they manifest risk to society at large, not at a specific party alone. Another critical illustration involves the implication of the mining activities on the site; the generated dust by the involved machinery and automotives proves to be a societal threat. The dust, which undeniably has the potential to attract critical health complications, is sustained by the public.

 

Risk Assessment and Regulatory Requirements

The various activities and disposed of substances by the organization critically have an element of attracting significant risks and hazards. The concept of having the organization possess several effluent permits with no relevant pollution control initiative critically highlights the possibility of ignored risks. In essence, the potentially harmful implications should be evaluated primarily based on the well-being of the relevant internal and external population and environment (Zhou et al., 2019). For instance, the evident mining activities in the site can attract health complications emanating from released dust. The unfilled pits pose a danger of critical accidents; also, they can prove to be breeding sites for disease-causing organisms upon assuming rainwater. The continued application of commercial fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides has the potential to pollute and corrupt the environment critically.

Scientific Journals

Scientific Journals

https://geniusproessays.com/

Scientific Journals:

Locate five peer-reviewed articles from scientific journals from 2017–2022 and cite them in proper scientific format. The articles can be (and probably should be) related to your area of interest and what you are thinking about for your research proposal. They must be on different information. As an additional source of help, check out the sample research proposals on GAView to see what a literature cited section should look like!

Components

  1. You need to find and cite three primary literature articles. (10 pts)
  2. You need to find and cite two secondary literature articles. News articles about scientific findings do not count. Popular science articles in publications like National Geographic also do not count. (5 pts)
  3. For each article list where you found it (for example, Google Scholar, Google, Science Citation Index, Galileo, etc.) (2 pts)
  4. Citation format must be consistent throughout the document. (8pts)
  5. Example:

Hirayama C, Sakata M. 2002. Chromatographic removal of endotoxin from protein solutions by polymer particles. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 781:419–432.

Liu S, Tobias R, McClure S, Styba G, Shi Q, Jackowski G. 1997. Removal of Endotoxin from Recombinant Protein Preparations. Clin Biochem 30:455–463.

Singh A, Upadhyay V, Upadhyay AK, Singh SM, Panda AK. 2015. Protein recovery from inclusion bodies of Escherichia coli using mild solubilization process. Microb Cell Factories 14:41.

See how the second line is indented? This is called “hanging” indent. You format this by going under the paragraph formatting menu, finding the indentation options, and under special, you’ll find the “hanging” feature. Only the first line of a citation is left-justified. So, if there were more lines to the above example, it would have multiples “hanging” lines:

  1. All references must be in alphabetical order.
  2. I recommend looking at the Sample Reference Assignment on GAView.
  3. One entry must be annotated. This means you write up a five-sentence summary of the paper in your own words. This will help give you practice writing. In fact, each major section of a paper can be summarized in a single paragraph. Yes! It’s possible. (25 pts)

Black Death

https://geniusproessays.com/

Black Death:

Preliminary Annotated Bibliography

 

1.

List your primary sources for your topic (that is, sources written close to the time of what

you are studying) for this topic. Ideally about a third of your sources (at least three or four) will be primary sources.

 

2.List your secondary sources (late 20th -century or early 21st-century books or articles). At

least half of your secondary sources should be journal articles (such as you found in the

Database assignment) or works which look into the topic in similar detail and w

ith similar documentation of sources. You should have at least 6 or 7 secondary sources.

 

3.Try to avoid using tertiary (third-hand sources) such as textbooks and reference works. If

you feel the need to do so, note that these should be IN ADDITION to your

10 primary and secondary sources.

4.For each source in your Bibliography briefly indicate what the source will add to your understanding of the topic what biases or weaknesses might make it difficult to evaluate.

 

Thesis Statement

1.State the topic for your final paper. Be sure to be specific as to (a) time, (b) place, (c)

general topic. (For example, “The effects of the Black Death on the labor force in western Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.”)

 

2. What scholarly problem surrounds the topic? That is, what do modern scholars

studying this topic disagree about among themselves? (For example, “Scholars disagree

About whether Black Death caused significant economic change in the long run.”)

 

3. Give at least two views reached by modern scholars (secondary sources)

on this issue. (For example, “At one time, historians wrote as if the Black Death was

Largely responsible for European changes in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. More recently, some historians have revised this view to suggest that the economy was already changing before the Black Death. They note that towns had been growing and serfdom declining before the Black Death, and that the economy rebounded fairly quickly immediately after the first outbreak in 1348.”)

 

4. Based on the debate in #2-3, what question do you hope to answer about the topic?

(For example, “What was the role of the Black Death in the decline of serfdom between the early 1300s and late 1400s?”)

 

5.Sum up your answer to this question in one complete sentence. (For example,

“Although the Black Death was not the only crisis affecting the European population, its

initial severity and regular recurrences (every couple of decades) increased the pace of

change in the labor market in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.”)

The State of Texas:

The the state of Texas

In the environmental health arena, a number of environmental principles or philosophies may guide the work of those who are charged with the creation of policy (including formal and informal policy actors, policy researchers, and policy analysts). In particular, you should be aware of the precautionary principle and be able to apply it in a number of contexts. This discussion is unique in that your Guided Response to your peers actually carries the greater points allocation than the initial posting.

In your initial post to this discussion, look online at credible sources for a local situation in which environmental policy has been overtly (openly) or covertly (behind the scenes) influenced by the precautionary principle. If you cannot find local examples after a diligent search, you may cast your search statewide. For help with identifying credible resources, review the What is CRAAP? (Links to an external site.) and Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) guides from the UAGC library. Once you identify a case, create a discussion post that briefly (approximately 100 words) summarizes the situation, including the details that led you to this conclusion, then give a link to the source. DO NOT specifically identify what you believe to be the precautionary principle indicators.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to a minimum of two of your peers. In your post, follow the link provided by your peer to the source document and identify the area(s) where you believe the precautionary principle comes into play. Identify as many of the four central components as you can, and describe which, if any, of the components are missing. Lastly, if any of the four central components are missing,

· Evaluate how that affected the actual outcome.

· Evaluate how missing components might have been addressed.

· Conjecture how the story might change if they had been correctly addressed.

Schizophrenia Spectrum:

Assignment: Focused SOAP Note for Schizophrenia Spectrum, Other Psychotic, and Medication-Induced Movement Disorders

For this Assignment, you will complete a focused SOAP note for a patient in a case study who has either a schizophrenia spectrum, other psychotic, or medication-induced movement disorder.

To Prepare

  • Review this       week’s Learning Resources. Consider the insights they provide about       assessing, diagnosing, and treating schizophrenia spectrum, other       psychotic, and medication-induced movement disorders.
  • Review the      Focused SOAP Note template, which you will use to complete this      Assignment. There is also a Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided as a guide      for Assignment expectations.
  • Review the      video, Case Study: Sherman Tremaine. You will use this case as      the basis of this Assignment. In this video, a Walden faculty member is      assessing a mock patient. The patient will be represented onscreen as an      avatar.
  • Consider what      history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
  • Consider what      interview questions you would need to ask this patient.

The Assignment

Develop a focused SOAP note, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • Subjective: What details      did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology      to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity      of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in      life?
  • Objective: What      observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
  • Assessment: Discuss      the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your      differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with      supporting evidence, and list them in order from highest priority to      lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria      for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria      rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis.      Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary      diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent      negatives for the specific patient case.
  • Plan: What is      your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan for treatment and      management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and      nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up      parameters, as well as a rationale for this treatment and management      plan. Also incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient      education strategy.
  • Reflection      notes: What      would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the      session again? Discuss what your next intervention would be if you      were able to follow up with this patient. Also include in your reflection      a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical      thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health      promotion, and disease prevention, taking into consideration patient factors      (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g.,      socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
  • Provide at      least three evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal articles or      evidenced-based guidelines that relate to this case to support your      diagnostics and differential diagnoses. Be sure they are current (no more      than 5 years old).

Cervical Cancer

Women start routinely getting Pap smear (also called Pap test) when they turn 21 as a screening device for cervical cancer. The  U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends no screening for females under the age of 21, cytology alone for females ages 21 to 29, and cytology every three years, hrHPV testing every 5 years or cotesting of both every 5 years for females between the ages of 30 and 65. However, women who are at high risk of the disease do not fall under these guidelines and instead must receive more intensive screening. A pap smear involves using a small brush to collect cells around and on the cervix, then viewing under a microscope to find out if they look abnormal. Risk factors for cervical cancer are HPV infections, giving birth to many children, smoking cigarettes, using oral contraceptives, and having a weakened immune system.

For areas of diminished health care access, self collection of cervical cells for HPV testing can increase engagement in cervical cancer screening protocols. A study in Guatemala provided access to alternative programs like self collection and emphasized the need for improved interventions of cervical cancer for women in undeserved populations.

Catherine Klutse:

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) have in place cervical cancer screening guideline to detect and treat begin tumor in the cervix. Those guidelines exclude women under the age of twenty-one, as well as those older than sixty-five. It is believed that the risk of developing cervical cancer is low hence performing a screening is not beneficially to those groups ages. Individuals at high risk of cervical cancer such as the immunocompromised, those expose to diethylstilbestrol, diagnosed with precancerous cervical lesion  as well as those that have a hysterectomy with a removal of their cervix are also not included in the guideline.

It is recommended to women between the age of twenty-one and twenty-nine to get a cytology screening ( Pap smear) every three years while .Women between the age of thirty and sixty-five are recommended to get either a cytology every three years, primary HPV testing every five years or co-testing every five years.
