chronic health disease

 

 

Discuss a chronic health disease. Select a topic from the list provided by your course faculty. Topic is PTSD The paper should be organized into the following sections: Introduction (Identification of the problem) with a clear presentation of the problem as well as the significance and a scholarly overview of the paper’s content. No heading is used for the Introduction per APA current edition. Background and Significance of the disease, to include: Definition, description, signs and symptoms. Incidence and prevalence of statistics by state with a comparison to national statistics pertaining to the disease. If after a search of the library and scholarly data bases, you are unable to find statistics for your home state, or other states, consider this a gap in the data and state as much in the body of the paper. For instance, you may state something like, “After an exhausting search of the scholarly data bases, this writer is unable to locate incidence and/or prevalence data for the state of …. This indicates a gap in surveillance that will be included in the “Plan” section of this paper. Surveillance and Reporting: Current surveillance methods and mandated reporting processes as related to the chronic health condition chosen should be specific. Epidemiological Analysis: Conduct a descriptive epidemiology analysis of the health condition. Be sure to include all of the 5 W’s: What, Who, Where, When, Why. Use details associated with all of the W’s, such as the “Who” which should include an analysis of the determinants of health. Include costs (both financial and social) associated with the disease or problem. Screening and Guidelines: Review how the disease is diagnosed and current national standards ​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​(guidelines). Pick one screening test (review Week 2 Discussion Board) and review its sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, and cost. Plan: Integrating evidence, provide a plan of how a nurse practitioner will address this chronic health condition after graduation. Provide three specific interventions that are based on the evidence and include how you will measure outcomes (how will you know that the interventions have utility, are useful?) Note:? Consider primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions as well as the integration of health policy advocacy efforts. All interventions should be based on evidence – connected to a resource such as a scholarly piece of research. Summary/Conclusion: Conclude in a clear manner with a brief overview of the keys points from each section of the paper utilizing integration of resources.

Evaluating a Risk Assessment

 

Your organization has conducted an internal risk assessment led by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). While conducting the risk assessment, it becomes apparent that several key areas of the company are at risk of a data loss or breach. To assist the various departments in addressing the inadequacies of the existing system or process, the CISO has identified a list of priorities to address with the organizations leaders and management team. As much of the corporate workforce is geographically diverse and works externally, those employees utilize remote access to the company making the potential for loss great.

The CISO has determined one of the best defenses against intentional or accidental loss of a laptop and all the data stored therein, is creation and utilization of an encryption policy and procedure for all company laptop drives.

As the Assistant CISO of your organization, you must help the CISO prepare a risk assessment briefing to management about the concerns that you have regarding the unencrypted data on the company’s laptops and the ability for employees to remove laptops from the premises to conduct business. Your major concern is the rising issue of data breaches due to lost laptops.

Begin your research about these concerns by evaluating recent breaches that were the result of incomplete risk assessments (e.g., Veteran’s Administration breach) and consulting with the HIMSS.

Risk Assessment Toolkit
Risk Assessment Toolkit – Breach Notification Guidance under the HIPAA Omnibus Rule
From the toolkit information, make a preliminary selection of the Type of Encryption you might suggest to management, the recommended Encryption Tools, and possible alternatives.

Your policy briefing should include all of the following:

Which computers fall under/are included in this policy?
What encryption would be used company-wide?
Why was this encryption adopted over other options (what are the benefits of your selection)?
How will the systems be retrofitted to include this encryption as most of the systems and users are remote?

 

US society are “in the cave”

Evaluate which aspects of US society are “in the cave” and which aspects are “enlightened.” Why do these caves exist? What preserves these caves?
Support your reasoning with real world examples. (Let’s leave the “city in speech” for Plato)
What can “the people” today do to improve the situation you outline above.

 

Presidential Election of 1824 (The Corrupt Bargain)

The results of the presidential election of 1824 were extremely controversial. The controversy reached such a fever pitch that today we refer to this election as “The Corrupt Bargain.”

The U. S. Constitution states that presidents will be chosen based on electoral votes submitted by the Electoral College. If the number of electoral votes earned by a candidate does not show a clear majority, the election is turned over to the House of Representatives to choose the next president.

The table above represents the numerical results of the individual popular votes and electoral votes for the different candidates in the presidential election of 1824. Based on these results, and your understanding of Chapter Ten, write a short analysis of these numerical results.

Your analysis should include:

Interpret how Congress concluded that Andrew Jackson did not have a clear majority based upon the popular and electoral votes above.
Represent a breakdown of the individual results as percentages and/or ratios of the overall vote.
Calculate numerically or graphically the differences between each candidate’s popular votes as opposed to their electoral votes.
Analyze a logical solution in consideration of the numerical data provided in the table.
Based upon the numbers above, make an assumption as to why Congress would have a rule based upon a clear majority in presidential elections.
Communicate a written interpretation offering alternative solutions and/or applying this issue to present day

Michigan Police Department Comparison

 

research on the Internet concerning two Michigan police agencies. Students will select an agency with 200 or more officers and a department with less than 50 officers.

You will compare and contrast: size and population difference of the two departments, differences or likeness in the organization of the departments, differences in specialized units/programs, compensation and benefits (wages, medical coverage, etc.). Include any other differences you might see as interesting.

Discuss whether you would be interested in working in either one or both of these police departments. Why or why not?

American Media

 

Using the question(s) Baran posed as a springboard, consider the following:

Do American Media offer girls &/or women too few – or, perhaps too many – examples of healthy beauty??? Explain and support your answer. ( Please explain in your own words, and do not use any resource from the internet. You should take a look at the files. )
