“Fighting Cancer with a Knife and Fork”

Cancer—it’s such a simple word, yet it inspires so much fear. In fact, in a recent survey conducted by the American Cancer Society, a majority of participants said they believed that the risk of dying of cancer is increasing. The good news is that the opposite is true. You have less chance of dying from cancer today than people did years, even decades, ago. The even better news is that it is estimated that up to 75 percent of cancer deaths are caused by lifestyle behaviors that you can control.

For this 2 page paper examine how cancer occurs and what behaviors you can change to reduce your risk. Then be sure to include in your paper the following information: 1) choose a cancer type (i.e. lung, breast, brain, etc.), 2) identify 3 foods that increase chances of being diagnosed with cancer or play a negative role in cancer development, and 3) identify 3 foods that can reduce your risk of that particular cancer. Conclude your paper by examining your own eating habits and formulate an eating plan that includes the most appropriate foods to alleviate the conditions reviewed over the past two weeks.

Discuss your older adult’s level of ego integrity versus despair as described by psychoanalyst Erik Erikson. If you had to rate them on a scale of 1-10, with 1 representing a full state of despair and 10 representing full ego integrity, what rating would you give your older adult?

Assignment: Early Onset Schizophrenia

Children and adolescents with schizophrenia have more difficulty functioning in academic or work settings, and significant impairment usually persists into adulthood. They may have speech or language disorders and in some cases borderline intellectual functioning. These individuals are more likely to complete suicide attempts or die from other accidental causes. Schizophrenia is characterized by positive and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and behavior disturbance. Negative symptoms include blunted affect and attention, apathy, and lack of motivation and social interest.

In this Assignment, you compare treatment plans for adults diagnosed with schizophrenia with treatment plans for children and adolescents diagnosed with schizophrenia. You also consider the legal and ethical issues involved in medicating children diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Compare      evidence-based treatment plans for adults versus children and adolescents      diagnosed with schizophrenia
• Analyze legal      and ethical issues surrounding the forceful administration of medication      to children diagnosed with schizophrenia
• Analyze the role      of the PMHNP in addressing issues related to the forceful administration      of medication to children diagnosed with schizophrenia

To Prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the      Learning Resources concerning early-onset schizophrenia.

The Assignment (2 pages):

• Compare at least      two evidence-based treatment plans for adults diagnosed with schizophrenia      with evidence-based treatment plans for children and adolescents diagnosed      with schizophrenia.
• Explain the      legal and ethical issues involved with forcing children diagnosed with      schizophrenia to take medication for the disorder and how a PMHNP may      address those issues.  

Note: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references.
