The Role of Nutrition

This assignment aims to develop an understanding of the role of nutrition and apply the concept of body mass index (BMI), calculate the daily energy needs and consumption using specific formulas. Task Requirements: To complete this assignment, you need to pay attention to the following requirements (please see the detailed description below): 1) BMI calculation and interpretation 2) BMR and total daily energy needs calculation/ use the second method 3) Food diary and energy consumption analysis 4) Write your report with thoughtful reflection on results and comprehensive recommendations for healthy weight management 5) Use sources from the literature Total number of words: maximum 400-500 (not including references) Number of sources/references:

BMI calculation and interpretation Explain the concept of body mass index (BMI). Collect weight (in kilograms) and height (in meters) measurements. Calculate BMI using the collected measurements and the formula (BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))^2.) provided. Show the calculations. Interpret BMI results based on standard BMI categories (e.g., underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese).
BMR and total daily energy needs calculation Explain the concept of daily energy needs and its importance in maintaining a healthy weight.
Estimate the daily energy needs. The Harris-Benedict equation for calculating basal metabolic rate (BMR) (10Xwieght in KG)+(6.25XHight cm)-5x Age-161=BMR For Women Show the calculations.
 Select and explain your activity level and calculate the total daily energy needs by multiplying their BMR by the corresponding activity factor.
Food diary and energy consumption analysis Record a one-day food diary, documenting everything you eat and drink during that period.
Calculate the daily energy consumption using an application (e.g., MyFitnessPal). Show the results
 Write your report with thoughtful reflection on results and comprehensive recommendations for healthy weight management.
Analyze the daily energy consumption in comparison to the calculated daily energy needs. Reflect on your BMI and whether the consumption aligns with the energy requirements and discuss the potential implications for weight management
Provide recommendations for achieving a healthy weight and maintaining a balanced diet. Consider adjustments to daily energy consumption, physical activity levels, and overall lifestyle choices.
Use sources from the literature to justify your approach.
Use 2 to 4 scientific references. Use a consistent in-text and referencing style (e.g., APA)

USING A PRACTICE-LEVEL LOGIC MODEL TO FOCUS INTERVENTIONS AND ACHIEVE DESIRED OUTCOMES

While they may be more broadly used to analyze programs, logic models can also be applied in practice, when considering clients’ presenting problems and potential interventions. If you think back to your work earlier in the course with Tiffani, Jake, or Paula, how did you go about determining the intervention based on the problems and needs? Did you see a logical connection in your mind between those elements? 

Logic modeling can help to make these connections explicitly clear. For example, perhaps you identify one problem as distrust between parent and adolescent. You observe that the need is a greater sense of trust, and that the underlying causes are history of abusive situations enabled by the parent, history of adolescent lying, and no model of healthy, trust-based parent-adolescent relationship. The intervention, then, might be family therapy to work through the history that has affected trust in the relationship. It might also include parenting classes on repairing a parent-teen relationship. The threads that weave through all of these elements are trust and relationship.

In this Discussion, you create a practice-level logic model of your own, based on the problems and needs that you identified last week.

WEEKLY RESOURCES

TO PREPARE
Review the Learning Resources on the logic model, including the Logic Model Table document.
Consider the problems and needs that you identified last week and how those needs might be met by evidence-based interventions applied with clients.
BY DAY 3
Post a completed logic model (in table format) for a practitioner-level intervention based on the problems and needs that you identified last week. Be sure to link the areas across the table.
In the table, describe the types of problems, the client needs, the underlying causes of problems and unmet needs. Then describe interventions that would lead to a change in the presenting conditions. Identify the short- and long-term outcomes that you think would represent an improved condition.
Follow the table format with 1 to 2 paragraphs that elaborate on your practice-level model outline and cite resources that inform your views.

WAREHOUSING SYSTEMS DESIGN

WAREHOUSING SYSTEMS DESIGN
GROUP PROJECT – W2024
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S CONTEXT
Aromatica Imports Co. is renowned for importing and distributing exclusively in Canada nonperishable gourmet selections and culinary specialties from six international manufacturers with
whom Aromatica has signed long-term distribution agreements. Aromatica distributes a wide
range of specialty teas, dried aromatic herbs and exotic seasonings, which are highly prized by
fine grocery stores and organic food retailers. Currently, Aromatica manages its operations from
a Montreal-based warehouse, which is facing saturation of its storage space due to sustained
growth. To improve logistics and service for all its Canadian customers, the company plans to open
a new distribution center.
The company forecasts annual sales growth of 6% over the next four years, as well as a 2% annual
increase in the number of stock-keeping units (SKUs). The construction of the new distribution
center should not only increase operational efficiency, but also position Aromatica Imports Co. as
a leader in the distribution of specialty food products, while committing to an eco-responsible
approach and optimization of logistics costs.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As a warehousing system consultant, your task is to design this new distribution center.
To help you in your task, you have the following information at your disposal:
• List of products with their physical characteristics. Items are grouped into six families (A to F)
according to their physical characteristics. Each family is associated with a different supplier.
• An extract from the sales file for the first six months of 2023.
• The company plans to maintain an average stock level of twelve weeks (60 days’ sales) at this
new center, which you should use as a basic assumption for planning storage space
requirements.
• The distribution center will be replenished weekly from its six overseas suppliers. As the
products are not very heavy, shipments may contain up to 40 pallets per trailer.
• Demand for items does not fluctuate significantly from month to month.
• There is no equipment to reuse (greenfield design).
• The average basic wage for employees should be $15.75/hour, with social costs of 23.8%.
• The construction expenses can be estimated at approximately $100 per square foot, covering
all aspects except for the storage and handling systems.
You must prepare your consultation report including:
• Your analysis of the anticipated situation.
• Your recommendations on operational processes (receiving, storage, order picking,
shipping).
• List of equipment required.
• Budget plan for equipment purchases.
• Proposed layout plan.
• Global product positioning plan (pre-slotting).
o Assignment of items to module type(s) for order-picking and storage operations.
o Capacity reserved for each item in the order-picking area.
• Estimated manpower requirements.

Randomized Clinical Trials(Randomized Clinical Trials

Supporting Lectures:

Review the following lecture:

Randomized Clinical Trials(Randomized Clinical Trials

Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are known to be one of the most reliable types of research. To avoid selection bias, an experimental group as well as a control group is chosen at random using effective established methods. The two groups are alike in every way possible. The experimental group receives medications, procedures, or other interventions while the control group does not. Known as blinding, neither the groups nor the clinicians studying the groups know who is participating in which group. The two groups are then followed over a specified timeframe and the differences, if any, in outcomes are measured. As with any type of study, flaws can exist. With RCT, as an example, participants might drop out for various reasons, negatively affecting the makeup of a group.

If it is discovered that the experimental group is experiencing extraordinarily positive results during research, there are mechanisms in place, such as fast track, breakthrough therapy, accelerated approval, and priority review procedures. Normally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can take years to approve a particular drug or treatment. As an example, if an experimental group is receiving medications to slow down multiplication of the AIDS virus and studies were showing remarkable decreases in the amount of virus present after one month, the control group then might be allowed to receive the medication after FDA approval. This seems to be the only ethical thing to do, but there was a time when fast track and other methods did not exist.

It is important to note that when human subjects are used in research, specific guidelines must be met to ensure the safety of the subjects. The clinical institution or manufacturer must establish a contract with an institutional review board (IRB). The IRB provides approval and oversight of research to ensure that laws, informed consent, safety procedures, and expected ethical standards are followed. Anyone planning to conduct research on human subjects must go through the IRB process prior to beginning research. The IRB can modify and even disapprove applications. They can also suspend research if they discover the guidelines are not being followed.

Mechanisms in Clinical Trials

As per the US Department of Health and Human Services (2018):

Under certain circumstances, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will prioritize or approve medications that have demonstrated potential to provide significant improvement in those experiencing undesired effects of certain medical conditions. Below you will find a chart depicting some of the processes in place to speed the approval of some medications.)

Before beginning work on this assignment, please review the expanded grading rubric for specific instructions relating to content and formatting.

So far in the course, we have learned that healthcare leaders and managers must seek out credible information and data when decisions are to be made and when educating others. It is vital that they review at least three, preferably more, sources to determine credibility of information. In order to know they are using credible data, it is important for them to have a solid understanding of how data and information are collected and compiled. Knowing what processes and procedures should take place to produce credible data is important. Familiarity with the scientific method is a must.

All studies are subject to bias, some more than others. Even with potential bias, research is critical to literally everything we know and do in the healthcare services field. Knowing research is not perfect, leaders and managers can still use data effectively.

There are many types of bias that can affect research outcomes. For your project this week, thoroughly research and discuss the following types of bias that can affect the credibility of resources. Please give specific examples of how these types of bias can alter results of studies.

Sampling bias
Selection bias
Interviewer bias
Response bias
Observation bias
Leading questions and wording bias
Sponsor bias

cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Literature

As we learned in Week 1, there is a difference between being educated and simply trained. The purpose of education is not only to determine what someone can do, but also what kind of person they become as a result of their education. Studies in the humanities will advance the communication skills, empathy, self-awareness, judgment, and professionalism of students, and they help students with becoming skilled at the social and cultural context of working with people.

In addition, studying the humanities can help students in the following ways:

Literature can introduce students to life situations with which they may not be familiar.
Drama can teach oral communication.
Philosophy can teach skills of analysis and argument.
Art, literature, drama. and music are expressions of human creativity, and taking part in some form of artistic activity, either as reader or viewer, is part of what makes us human.

For this assignment, choose a work of art that made an impression on you during this course. Then, address the following:

Include an image of or link to the work.
Identify the artist, the title, date completed, and the medium.
Explain how learning about the work will help you in your life and career. Consider the context in which the work was created and the meaning of the work.
Explain how one or more specific disciplines (literature, drama, philosophy, art, music) influenced you.
Examine the effect that you think this class could have on your career and personal life.
Writing Requirements (APA format)
Length: 2-2.5 pages (not including title page or references page)
1-inch margins
Double spaced
12-point Times New Roman font
Title page
References page (minimum of 1 scholarly source)

Healthcare Statistics

You are a health care administrator, and you are preparing data to share with your health care organization on the population of those experiencing side effects from smoking. You will need to create several graphs on the demographics of the population as well as the health effects. What graphs would you choose to display this data, and why? How would you make your data clear for your audience? Additionally, explain the importance of researching individual patients and the general population.

Your response must be at least 200 words in length.

Pecha Kucha about How can society address HIV/AIDS stigma to ensure support for affected individuals?

Pecha Kucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total). For this course, students are required to develop a Pecha Kucha presentation based on the chosen theme and issue(s) discussed in their Final Project Product Proposal, providing images on each slide to support the narrative of the presentation.

Pecha Kucha Tips Video
Creating a Pecha Kucha Video
Example Pecha Kucha Video

Students should NOT just read their final proposal as slides roll by. Instead focus on the high points only and assure the audio aligns with the photos being displayed. Also, use this to add information that was not mentioned in the final proposal.

We recommend using stock images and do not just download images from offline without crediting the source.

Students may choose their own tool to record the pecha kucha. Just ensure the professor can access the final output. Popular presentation tools used for this include PowerPoint, Zoom, and YouTube. This method must be confirmed prior to actually working on the pecha kucha.

Getting Started
Introduction 

The ability to write accurate, concise soap notes is an integral skill for the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN).  Professional documentation is the mechanism to communicate with other healthcare providers, support the level of billing for the service provided as well as provides legal protection for the APRN and organization.

Upon successful completion of this assignment you will be able to: 

Write accurate, concise organized soap notes which accurately reflect the care provided.
Manage clients who have communicable disease, use complementary medicine, or have an environmental condition.
Resources
 Patient notes from clinical setting 
Instructions
Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
Write 2 focused soap notes from any patient you have seen during clinical in the recent past.  Your soap notes must include the following: 

Subjective: Subjective: CC, HPI, focused PMH (allergies, meds, surgeries, medical conditions, FMH, SH – only what is pertinent to the case) and ROS.

Objective:  vitals, General statement, pertinent PE per the chief complaint and at least 2 bullet points per system.  You will lose points if your bullet points include “normal, within normal limits or unremarkable”.  You are expected to describe your findings. 

Assessment:  Diagnosis with 3 separate differentials, pertinent comorbid diagnoses stating controlled or uncontrolled. Please include your rationale for your choices.  

 Plan:  medications, labs/imaging, referrals, education given, follow-up. If any items that have been listed do not apply to your patient, that is fine.  Not every patient will have a referral or labs/imaging.

3. These are not to be the same soap notes that you place in Medatrax for your Medatrax assignment.

4. No references are required.  The SOAP Notes are not to be written in paragraph form, but just as you would write them in the chart. 

5. Submit both SOAP Notes to the Assignment 6.8 by the end of day seven of the workshop.  You must include a cover sheet per APA guidelines.
