What place should astrology have in our modern society?

Consider the following list of possible opinions a person might hold in response to the discussion prompt: In your written discussion response, choose three of the following opinions and provide at least one argument in favor of each of those three opinions.

1. Total Ban: Astrology should be completely banned from all facets of our modern society, both public and private.
2. Private Only: Astrology should only be practiced or discussed in private settings—it should be removed from all public platforms (including social media, radio, TV, online news sites, newspapers, and magazines).
3. Just for Fun: Astrology should only be removed from public platforms whose primary purpose is to inform, not entertain (for example, removed from newspapers and news sites, but memes about astrology are still allowed).
4. Come With a Warning: Astrology should not be removed from any online space (regardless of whether the primary purpose is to inform or entertain), but in all cases, mentions of astrology should be accompanied by an auto-generated warning that astrology is not scientifically valid.
5. Actively Promoted: Astrology should be actively used and promoted by the government, schools, and other public institutions.
6. Nothing: Astrology should not be regulated or actively promoted in any way (basically how it is now)response must include a list of all resources you use (this doesn’t have to be anything fancy; it can be a simple bullet list of website URLs). If you use any of the suggested resources given below, include those URLs in your list of resources. If you use a direct quote from any online resource, put the quoted text in quotation marks. No more than about 25% of your Discussion Response should be quoted text.

Responses must be written in coherent English with minimal grammatical errors or typos.

In general, your response should be written in the first person (I, me, my statements), and you can put a subheading for each of the three opinions you chose, followed by your argument(s) in favor of that opinion. That said, if you absolutely love writing and want to put a fun spin on your response, you may do so

Advanced Practice Nursing Philosophy Paper
The goal of this assignment is for you to present your views, values, and beliefs about;

• the four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm (person/client, nursing, health, and environment)
• their interrelationship to one another in your current practice of nursing (RN Geriatrics).

You will add to these views, values, and beliefs and compare your current practice to how you envision the advanced practice role you aspire (Family nurse practitioner) to in the future.

Your new knowledge is expected to be evidence-based.  The purpose of this exercise is:

• to identify your personal philosophy of nursing,
• re-examine, affirm, and validate this philosophy as the course progresses,
• foster professional and personal growth to transition into the role of the advanced practice registered nurse.

One of the most prominent middle-range theoretical frameworks in nursing is the Meleis Transition Theory (MTT). Analyze concept analysis of Meleis transition theory

Cancer is a nonselective disease. Cancer can occur at any age, and although treatments have been improved, cancer still can be a deadly disease. Some cancer is linked to environmental causes such as cigarette smoke or UV radiation. Other causes may be genetic, such as inheriting the gene for breast cancer. Early detection can impact the outcome of cancer; therefore, it is important to recognize early symptoms and tests for prevention.

Tanya has received some troubling results from her “23 and Me” DNA test. She has inherited the BRCA1 gene for breast cancer.

Even though Tanya has the breast cancer gene, it does not necessarily mean she will ever develop breast cancer. However, she does have a chance. In this unit, you are going to evaluate the medical histories and breast cancer risks of Tanya’s friends and estimate how they might reduce their risks. You will learn about the various risk factors, both genetic and lifestyle-related, as well as prevention methods for breast cancer.

Overview
With advancements in medicine, genetic testing can be used to determine if you have the gene for a specific type of cancer. For example, the BRAC1 is a gene for breast cancer, but just because you have the gene you may not develop cancer; however, it still gives a person a greater risk. In this assignment, you are going to evaluate the medical histories and breast cancer risks of Tanya’s friends and estimate how they might reduce their risks. You will learn about the various risk factors, both genetic and lifestyle-related, as well as prevention methods for breast cancer.

For this assignment,

• you will use a Patient Case Study Profile Form to evaluate four patient profiles and their medical histories
• Examine the four patient profiles and medical histories of Tanya’s friends (Mary, Paula, June, and Nora) with respect to their breast cancer risk.
• Use the National Cancer Institute’s Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Risk Calculator Tool to estimate the patient’s risks of developing breast cancer
• Provide recommendations for each patient profile as to how they might reduce their cancer risk

By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Apply concepts of human biology to the social sciences
• Examine each patient’s profile and cancer risks

Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.

Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.

In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.

To Prepare:

• Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
• Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
• Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.

The Assignment (3-4 Pages):

Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
• Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
• Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the scholarly resources you selected. Explain how they may impact your organization both positively and negatively. Be specific and provide examples.
