The assignment focuses on children who are growing up with Williams Syndrome. This is a little-known disorder that is in some ways the “opposite” of autism.  These children have highly developed language skills and are often very social, but they struggle with many other cognitive tasks.

First, watch the following video clip: (sorry-you have to watch a brief ad!)

Williams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF4DiqEdN3w

(try using Chrome for best viewing results)

Then, write down at least 3 things you found interesting from the clip (include some detail about each).

Next, find recent general information about Williams Syndrome by finding sources through Google.

In your own words, summarize at least 2 recent sources (each summary needs to be at least (more is good!) four full sentences -just to give you an idea of expectation- include some detail) about Williams and include the complete citation for the sources at the beginning of each summary. (So if you find a VERY brief source- that will not work for this assignment).

Now, connect the information you have learned about Williams Syndrome to something (can be a more general concept) from the textbook or PPs for CH. 3.  Give detail from the  PPs or text to make your connection clear.

Finally, tell me how things are going for you in the course so far (include any questions or concerns).

Identify at least two regulatory bodies, and your state’s nurse practice act, that specifies certification, licensure requirements, or scope of practice for your specialty. Discuss the way these influence the educational requirements and experiences for your specialty. Advanced practice registered nurses must incorporate the APRN consensus model in their response. In your response to peers, discuss a specific guideline or change imposed by a regulating body or industry regulation and explain how this affects your daily practice. Cite at least one source to support your response. Use less than 5 years of articles to support

Why is the concept of family health important? Consider the various strategies for health promotion. How does a nurse determine which strategy would best enable the targeted individuals to gain more control over, and improve, their health?

What is the nursing intervention for patient taking diuretics? What laboratory values might indicate problems? What instructions need to be provided to your client/patient?

Use the ecological footprint calculator( https://www.footprintcalculator.org/home/en) to determine how many Earths we would need to live sustainably if everyone lived as you did. You may be surprised. According to the Conversation Ecology textbook, we would need four Earths if everyone lived as the average American did! Next, try the questionnaire again and make one change that you think will reduce your footprint. Then change this parameter back to its original value and try making a different change. Keep track of your results and try this for three different aspects of your lifestyle. What three changes did you make, and which one had the greatest effect on your ecological footprint? Why do you think that this lifestyle change had such a big effect? Is this a realistic change that you might be able to implement soon? Why or why not?
