In order to increase sales to parents and caretakers, some companies use marketing strategies that make exaggerated, unfounded, or unrealistic claims about the effects of their product(s) on child development. Select one claim that you suspect to be exaggerated or false (your research may in fact show the claim has validity). Describe in detail what the advertised product, diet, or service is supposed to do. Some examples are: • Educational videos as related to language development • Effects of classical music on cognitive development • Benefits of soy diet or organic food diet on physical and cognitive development • Service promising to teach your 18-month-old how to read • Any other claim made by a manufacturer or service provider, aimed at enhancing infant or toddler development Write a 1,400- to 1,650-word paper addressing the following: • What area or areas of development does the product, diet, or service claim to enhance? • Use the library to investigate the claim. What does the published literature say about the issue or concern that you are investigating? What does the research reveal about how to promote healthy development in this area or areas? What does this reveal about the necessity and...

She is also a CLC. Kathryn Mary McGilligan holds a Master of Science and is a former researcher in nutrition. A strength of this research team is their education, as stated previously, in the field that they are researching. A weakness is that the employers who sponsored the program have a contract with Limerick Incorporated. Therefor their products and services were the only ones used. Leaving to question a bias in favor of their product and services. The CLC’s are the owners are the company who manufacture the product that is being promoting within the workplace environment to support breastfeeding mothers. Another weakness of the team is that it is mother and daughter which could cause conflict depending on their relationship. Their Company, Limerick Incorporated, has only done minimal research according to their research page none of which has been done on competitors’...

...METHODOLOGY The objective of this chapter is to define nursing research, analyse methods of research and outline methodological process used to find articles on which to base this extended literature review. In this hypothesis, the reason for literature review is to ascertain whether or not gastric banding is an effective treatment for obesity in young adults as measured by physical functioning. The research process is the step-by-step procedure of developing research paper (Boje, 2001). It normally consists of following stages: detection of the research problem; preparation of search plan; searching and assessing the literature; data collection and evaluation; formulating a research design; and presenting the research findings (Cormack, 1996). The ability of nurses and other health care professionals to locate and identify existing literature on a relevant topic is an essential nursing skill (Burns & Grove, 2003). The sources where they can gain and expand research knowledge from may include personal or specialist experiences and clinical procedures and guidelines (Eccles & Mason, 2001). Before they can be made assessable to health care workers, guidelines and procedures are required to go through rigorous process of dissemination, before they can be made assessable to health care workers to be used in practice (Craig & Smith, 2007). Some of the organisations responsible for underwriting and implementation of clinical guidelines into clinical practice...

...the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has had a significant impact on the American health care delivery systems. The passage of this bill mandates that all Americans must have health care coverage and that insurance companies cannot disqualify applicants due to preexisting conditions (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2014). These changes will undoubtedly lead to an increase in the number of people seeking medical care, particularly those with chronic diseases. It is estimated that this influx in the number of patients will result in a primary care provider shortage of 20% by the year 2025 (Poghosyan, Boyd & Knutson, 2014). With many new physicians choosing to pursue specialties due to the promise of a larger salary, hospitals and clinics will need to start looking to other health care providers, such as nurse practitioners, to fill this role. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role nurse practitioners play with regards to the Affordable Care Act by examining the history and qualifications of nurse practitioners, the current practice of nurse practitioners, the basics of the Affordable Care Act legislation, and potential nursing challenges. History of Nurse Practitioners The role of the modern day nurse practitioner emerged in the late 1960’s out of necessity for more primary care providers. When Medicare and Medicaid were enacted during this time, there was an influx of people with medical insurance but not enough healthcare providers to take care of them. Many...

...Donna Salvato Nursing Informatics Journal 2 PubMed and MedLine After reading a fact sheet on the NIH website about the differences between MedLine and PubMed, I was able to understand what each does. MedLine is the National Library of Medicine (NLM) journal citation database. The database provides references to biomedical and life sciences journal articles. Journals that are submitted to the NIH are reviewed by the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee to ensure that MedLine contain only original and important scientific content. MedLine ensures its quality by using the NLM controlled vocabulary, the MeSH, to index citations. It is freely accessible through the PubMed database as well as through Ebsco (National Library of Medicine [NLM], 2014). PubMed is a free database that includes the MedLine database plus in-progress citations, citations to articles that are out-of-scope, ahead of print citations, etc. PubMed citations often offer links to the full-text article (NLM, 2014). The PubMed website has a page that helps you use their search engine. You can search by key concepts, author, and journal name. You can also apply filters to your research to narrow it to journals only. Another tool that PubMed offers is the Clinical Queries tool; this allows you to narrow your research to clinical searches only. Finally, in order to find high-quality citations– usually the ones that come from the MedLine database- PubMed allows you to add MeSH to your search filters (National...

...DDBA-8005 Handout What is Scholarly Writing? If you are just beginning your graduate studies, much of the next few years of your life will be devoted to scholarly writing. You will be reading, discussing, and producing scholarly writing. You will get feedback from peers, instructors, and the Writing Center staff about how to adapt to the expectations of scholarly writing. You hear about it so much, in fact, that you may hesitate to ask the basic question: "What is scholarly writing?" Scholarly writing is a type of writing rather than a level of writing (there is no hierarchy in writing genres). Scholarly writing is not any better than journalism, fiction, or poetry; it is just a different category. As with any type of writing, scholarly writing has traditions and expectations that you know about only if you read or write in that style. Because most of us do not use scholarly writing in our daily practice, it can feel unfamiliar and intimidating, but it is a skill that can be learned. The more you are immersed in it, the more you will get a feeling for its hallmarks. Here are a few of the most common characteristics of scholarly writing: • The wording in scholarly writing is specialized, requiring previous knowledge on the part of the reader. You will not be able to pick up a scholarly journal in another field and easily understand its contents (although you should be able to follow the writing itself). Scholarly authors assume that their audience is familiar...

...discharge after a heart failure hospitalization. American Heart Journal, 164(3). 365-372. Retrieved from: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/771215_print This article sought to find an appropriate model to predict the risk of unplanned heart failure readmissions. The primary outcome from chart reviews also included death of heart failure patients within 30 days of discharge. The study looked at Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) models and the LACE+ index, to mention two of many that looked at prediction ability. The LACE+ index is a model that looks at length of stay, acuity, the Charlson comorbidity score and age, to predict readmissions. They found that no one model was appropriate in predicting the 30-day readmission rates, although using a combination of the models was an improvement to that predictor. The authors are all physicians, PhDs, or have a Master’s degree- helping to establish credibility. The authors also make a statement as to the funding of the project and that they (the authors) were solely responsible for all data collection, design and submission approval writing for the project, also lending credibility to the study. The references used for this study were appropriate in age, of the 28; 13 were within the last five years. Statistical data was gathered by experts and calculations made through third party experts, lending validity to the study.

...and the blog “Matt Patterson & The New York Post Clueless About The Climate” the authors Matt Patterson and Jerrald Hayes are having very different opinions and points of view on the subject global warming and climate-change. Matt Patterson, the author of “Warming, not!”, is a conservative political writer and the article is published in New York Post. Patterson claims that the evidence for global warming has been exaggerated and is just plain wrong. He states that the climate-change theory is facing a sudden collapse, because of two recent arguments: The first argument being the observations that Monnett and fellow researcher Jeffrey Gleason made in 2004 - of four polar bears drowning after being forced to swim long distances in the open sea, because of the climate changes - are now being questioned and investigated. Monnett has now been put on “leave” due to integrity issues. The other argument being a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal ‘Remote Sensing’ by Drs. Roy Spencer and Danny Braswell. The two scientists had compared the predictions about what the atmosphere ‘should’ do and what satellite data actually showed during the 18 months before and after warming event. They found that the computer models vastly overestimated the greenhouse effect. According to the two scientists the Earth is far more capable of equalizing its own temperature than people might think. Matt Patterson closes the article saying that there is a huge discrepancy between global-warming...

...strategy: To get an insight in what operations strategy is all about, it is defined as "a set of competitive priorities coupled with supply chain structural and infrastructural design choices intended to create capabilities that support a set of value propositions targeted to address the needs of critical customers." (Operations and Supply Chain Strategy, 2009). A supply chain consists of multiple organizations linked together in a partnership and their overall goal is to satisfy the needs of the end customer. As the lecture notes (n.d.) points out, operations manage the activities of the entire supply chain from start to end. Because of the operations management's nature of spanning across the functional level and being integrative, it is involved in many other strategic areas. (Operations and Supply Chain Strategy, 2009). This means that strategic decisions regarding operations must reflect and involve these areas. Increasingly fierce competition and challenges like fast changing market demands and needs, demand uncertainty and decreasing product life cycle means organizations have to do things differently to stay in the game. In today’s competitive environment there is a need to excel in multiple performance objectives like flexibility, speed, cost, dependability and quality (Slack and Lewis, 2011, p.16). To cope with these challenges, an integrated approach to the supply chain is required to create a competitive advantage. This leads us to a statement by Gunasekaran...

...Evolutionary Anthropology 21:50–57 (2012) ISSUES The Science Behind Pre-Columbian Evidence of Syphilis in Europe: Research by Documentary GEORGE J. ARMELAGOS, MOLLY K. ZUCKERMAN, AND KRISTIN N. HARPER This article discusses the presentation of scientific findings by documentary, without the process of peer review. We use, as an example, PBS’s ‘‘The Syphilis Enigma,’’ in which researchers presented novel evidence concerning the origin of syphilis that had never been reviewed by other scientists. These ‘‘findings’’ then entered the world of peer-reviewed literature through citations of the documentary itself or material associated with it. Here, we demonstrate that the case for pre-Columbian syphilis in Europe that was made in the documentary does not withstand scientific scrutiny. We also situate this example from paleopathology within a larger trend of ‘‘science by documentary’’ or ‘‘science by press conference,’’ in which researchers seek to bypass the peer review process by presenting unvetted findings directly to the public. George J. Armelagos is Goodrich C. White Professor of Anthropology at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. His research has focused on diet and disease in prehistory. He was the Viking Medal Medalist (Wenner-Gren Foundation) in 2005, received The Franz Boas Award for Exemplary Service to Anthropology from the American Anthropological Association in 2008, and The Charles Darwin Award for Lifetime Achievement to Biological Anthropology...
