Discussion Prompt “Lifestyle Changes for Disease Prevention and Management”

Completion requirements

Discussion Prompt: Lifestyle Changes for Disease Prevention and Management

Overview: Lifestyle modifications play a crucial role in preventing and managing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. For this discussion, you will explore how lifestyle changes—such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and avoiding harmful behaviors—can prevent or modify disease processes and promote restoration of health. (CSLO #4)

Instructions:

  1. Choose a Disease Process: Select a specific disease process (e.g., hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
  2. Discuss Lifestyle Changes: Describe at least two lifestyle changes that can prevent, modify, or restore health in relation to your selected disease. Use evidence-based practice (EBP) to support your discussion.

o Include specific examples of dietary changes, physical activity, smoking cessation, or stress management techniques.

  1. Explain the Impact: Discuss how these lifestyle changes influence the disease process. Explain the physiological or behavioral changes that occur as a result.
  2. Relate to Nursing Practice: Identify the nurse’s role in educating and promoting these lifestyle modifications. How can nurses empower patients to adopt and sustain these changes?

Business Strategy and Application

Description of the assessment

This assignment achieves module outcomes one and two. It aims to test students’ knowledge on key concepts in business strategy and their ability to apply such knowledge in a simulated or real-life organisation.

 

Business Strategy and Application

The assessment requires you to consider the long-term strategy of a business in the ever-changing and often competitively hostile global business environment where strategies and priorities differ between organisations and their wider stakeholders.,  In your assignment it is therefore important that you weigh the time economic environment and implication in relation to growth and expansion opportunities., This knowledge gained in the module should enable you to write an academic report in which you evidence your ability to critically evaluate different strategy options and to apply such knowledge in a logical manner., Note that this is an assignment in strategic management., This means that you must engage with strategic management literature more than the organisation’s information., The organisation only provides you with the context to explore issues, challenges, and options in strategic management. The organisation itself is not what the report is about. As much as you will need some basic information about a company, as background and context, the actual evaluation desired is how you consider the various theories, concepts, models, and literature covered in the module and beyond to make informed decisions backed by academic sources. Another point is that although a key rationale for organisations is to increase shareholder value through growth and expansion, there are other wider concerns which must be considered beyond profit maximisation. Business Strategy and Application

Defined Population Problem

Develop an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined. Submit the proposed intervention to the faculty for review and approval. This solution needs to be implemented (shared) with your patient, family, or group. You are not to share your intervention with your patient, family, or group or move on to Assessment 5 before your faculty reviews/approves the solution you submit in Assessment 4. In a separate written deliverable, write a 5–7 page analysis of your intervention.

 

Defined Population Problem

 

Collapse All

Introduction

In your first three assessments, you applied new knowledge and insight gleaned from the literature, from organizational data, and from direct consultation with the patient, family, or group (and perhaps with subject matter and industry experts) to your assessment of the problem. You’ve examined the problem from the perspectives of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, policy, quality of care, patient safety, costs to the system and individual, technology, care coordination, and community resources. Now it’s time to turn your attention to proposing an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the problem.

Preparation

In this assessment, you’ll develop an intervention as a solution to the health problem you’ve defined. To prepare for the assessment, think about an appropriate intervention, based on your work in the preceding assessments, that will produce tangible, measurable results for the patient, family, or group. In addition, you might consider using a root cause analysis to explore the underlying reasons for a problem and as the basis for developing and implementing an action plan to address the problem.

Children Transition

When children transition from being at home to a learning environment such as a home daycare center preschool or elementary school they need to be taught the expectations for their behavior., “Just as teachers provide opportunities for children to learn about science, math, and literacy, they must also provide opportunities for children to learn how to interact with others and manage their behavior independently and in groups” (Kostelnik, Soderman, Whiren, & Rupiper, 2019).

children transition

This type of behavior is often referred to as selfregulation. As early childhood educators, we must provide opportunities for our students to engage in learning activities that allow them to learn how to control their own behavior., For this assignment, Step 1 Begin by reviewing the video Sesame Street: The Waiting Game With Guy Smiley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsC2W587_Fc&list=PLduaYqM5dRJIrXLjzWiPqAiIz8UJ eNPoA) Step 2 In your paper, discuss the three most significant concepts that you learned about promoting self-regulation in children from the video the reviewing’s and or your own experience working with young children. Step 3 In your paper, describe at least two developmental and two experience-based influences on self-regulation in young children., Use either a scholarly or credible source to support your description. Step 4 In your paper, create a measurable learning objective for a potential lesson or activity for one of your developmental influences and one of your experience-based influences in order to foster the development of self-regulation skills.,  Remember your learning objectives need to be clear and measurable. Step 5 In your paper, explain how the learning objectives you created will allow you to implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum for your students regarding self-regulation. Use your state’s early learning standards as support for this section. Source Requirement: This assignment should be three double-spaced pages in length (not including title and reference pages). Your paper must have at least two scholarly peerreviewed or credible sources and the textbook as references. Textbook: Kostelnik, M., Rupiper, M., Soderman, A., & Whiren, A. (2019).
