Discussion

 

Low carb diets are believed to have positive effects for weight loss, increased performance, management of diabetes, and even curing cancer.  In the JAMA article, low carb is compared to low fat diets in a 12 month trial.  Discuss the effectiveness of low carb diets in relation to:

1)   Weight changes between a healthy low-fat diet vs a healthy low-carbohydrate diet

2) Genotype pattern and baseline insulin secretion associated with the dietary effects on weight loss

3) Which diet was better for whom?

Implementation of the Care Plan

In a Microsoft Word document of 2-3 pages formatted in APA style, you will develop a plan to implement your care plan by answering the questions below.

  • The first step to effective implementation is planning. As you go about this task, utilize the following questions applying them to your aggregate:
    • What group have you selected (for example, three families with young children, and so on)?
    • What made you select this particular group?
    • What intervention(s) of the plan will you implement in the group?
    • What health risk do you expect to address by implementing this intervention?
    • What results do you expect?
    • How do you plan to implement this intervention?
      • Do you have any specific strategy in mind?
      • What resources will you need?
    • How long do you think it will take for the results to be seen?
    • What resources do you need?
  • The second step is to mobilize the resources you need, talk to the small group, recruit volunteers, etc.
  • Finally, when your resources are in place, put your plan into action.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.

discussion

Time management is a common challenge for students at any level, but especially for those who are returning to school, working, raising families, and taking care of all of the things life throws our way. This assignment is intended to help you examine your time management process and explore strategies to help you be successful as an online student. For this discussion post, please share with us the following:

  • Describe how you spend most of your time. Is this what you expected? Why or why not?
  • How will you rearrange these items to dedicate enough time to your schoolwork?
  • What changes do you want to make? What professional resources are available to help with those changes? Please include three references

Complementary and Alternative therapies

 

PMHNP Interventions

Introduction and Alignment

The PMHNP should be familiar with current complementary and alternative therapies and use this knowledge to guide effective treatment decisions and client teaching.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

  • Discuss pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment alternatives available to clients in the psychiatric – mental health care setting and potential benefits and/or rationale for their use.
  • Review current literature regarding dietary supplements, herbal therapies, and psychoactive herbs, and identify potential dangers associated with its use.
  • Recommend PMHNP interventions that are aimed at promoting client safety for individuals who choose to use complementary and alternative medicine.

Resources

  • Textbook: Sadock, Sadock, and Ruiz (2015) – Chapter 24; Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Psychiatry

Instructions

  1. Do a literature search for current literature related to complementary and alternative medicine use in mental health care. Look at both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches.
  2. Make a table of at least 6 articles and list the following components:
    1. Citation of article
    2. Therapy discussed
    3. Take home points – how used, for what diagnoses, etc.  including patient safety data
    4. Would you recommend this for patients that you care for?
  3. Develop a 2-3 paragraph summary of your support for or against the use of complementary and alternative medicine in your future practice, giving reasons to support.
  4. Navigate to the threaded discussion forum and post a copy of your work (in a word document) by the fifth day of the workshop.
  5. Respond to at least two peers’ postings by the end of the workshop.

Analysis and Evaluation of Frameworks and Theories

Analysis and Evaluation of Frameworks and Theories

Theory analysis is particularly helpful in research because it provides a clear idea of the form and structure of the theory in addition to the relevance of content, and inconsistencies and gaps present. The ‘missing links’ or inconsistencies are fruitful sources of new research ideas. They also point to the next hypotheses that need to be tested.
—Walker and Avant, 2011, p. 206

Nurse scientists often find that examining the literature is a productive way to see how existing frameworks and theories have been applied in other research studies. By engaging in this process, they may gain insights about a particular framework or theory, be able to identify gaps in research, or uncover new questions they are eager to explore.

In this Discussion, you analyze existing frameworks/theories using the procedure proposed by Walker and Avant. Your analysis should provide an objective understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each framework or theory. This, in turn, should enable you to evaluate whether the framework/theory is useful for the purposes of your theoretical foundation for a program of research.

To prepare

  • Review the information that Dr. Hathaway presents in the Week 1 media program, “Theoretical Foundation for Research,” regarding the phases of theory development and the similarities and differences between frameworks and theories.
  • Search the literature and identify two frameworks/theories that may be useful for investigating your phenomenon of interest.
  • Review the procedure for theory analysis presented in Chapter 12 of Walker and Avant (2011). Apply these steps to each framework/theory you have selected and identify the strengths and weaknesses of each framework/theory. Determine whether additional development or refinement is needed (i.e., for each framework, identify which aspects would require further research in order for it to meet the requirements of a theory).
  • Evaluate the value of each framework/theory for addressing your phenomenon. Determine which framework/theory has the most potential for use as part of your theoretical foundation of your research.
  • Think about any questions you have related to theory analysis and evaluation.

By Day 3

Post a description of the two frameworks/theories you analyzed and evaluated, and explain why each is considered either a framework or a theory. For framework(s) you have selected, explain which aspects would require further research to meet the requirements of a theory. Explain why one has the most potential for use in your theoretical foundation for research, noting its strengths and weaknesses. Also pose any questions that have arisen through your examination of frameworks/theories.
