...Family Health Assessment Michelle Lowery Grand Canyon University: Family Centered Health Promotion May 24, 2015 Family Health Assessment Functional health patterns help organize basic family assessment information (Edelman, Kudzma & Mandel, 2014). In this assessment there are eleven categories that allows the medical professional ability to provide a uniform and organized approach to review the health and human functions of individual patients and families. When a medical provider can interview the family as a whole it is easier to determine functional and dysfunctional patterns of each family member and the family. I began my interview by asking several open ended questions from the eleven functional patterns. This essay will describe the health patterns of the Smith family. In this paper I will discuss the health patterns of this family and my nursing diagnoses that are related to this family.

...Introduction Hypnotherapy has often been associated with being strange and mysterious, curing people by unknown means. In order to explain what hypnosis is, this essay will be considering both the psychological and the physiological aspects of hypnosis. It will start with a brief history of hypnosis before explaining a person’s different states of mind and how these states of mind can be measured. It will then go on to discuss the importance of relaxation as a technique in order to establish the necessary state of mind of a client for hypnosis. The client being in this state of mind can then be used to make the beneficial changes that an individual may wish to make in their thought patterns, their behaviors or their physiological state through suggestion. By discussing the psychological and physiological aspects of hypnosis, the essay will reach a conclusion of “what is hypnosis?” Psychology of Hypnosis Historically, hypnosis could not be explained, it seemed that people were being cured by unknown means. Mesmer in the1770s believed that these unexplained cures were down to the laws of magnetism, placing magnets on patient’s bodies or filling tubs with water and iron rods that induced convulsions during his therapy. He believed that the convulsions released a block that a patient had in their fluid flow. Mesmer’s therapy, known as mesmerism, was observed by the Marquis de Puysegur who witnessed that the patients were falling asleep and that he could talk to them...

...For the purpose of this essay, I interviewed eight informants, both close friends and family members, at length about recent ailments or illnesses they have suffered from. I received much detail about symptoms, treatments, and continuing processes they do to prevent the ailment from reoccurring. After a thorough investigation, I was able to compare the informant’s ailments and remedies against each other and also to Marsha Quilan’s research in her ethnography From the Bush: The Front Line of Health Care in a Caribbean Village. Informant 1, an 18 year old male, recently suffered from an ear infection. This informant has suffered from ear infections most of his toddler life. As a young child, at the age of 19 months, this informant got PE tubes inserted into bilateral ears, yet the ear infections kept reoccurring. That is when his mother began to use natural garlic oil to treat his ear infections. After the first time using it, this informant claims he never had to go to the doctor again for treatment, and his ear infections occurred less frequently and eventually subsided. The most recent infection this informant battled with was pretty typical for him. He got his usual symptoms of a mild earache accompanied with some purulent discharge from his left ear canal. This informant told me that he did not want to use antibiotics to remedy his ear infections. He deferred to his mother’s treatment of using a couple drops of garlic oil. This informant administered a couple drops of natural...

...A Regrettably Inadequate Defence of Abortion This essay shall examine and critique Judith Jarvis Thomson’s analogy of the sickly violinist, as it relates to the moral permissibility of abortion. I shall conclude that the analogy is ultimately too dissimilar from a general case of abortion to be an accurate representation of the mother-foetus relationship. I will further conclude that at best the analogy only provides justification for abortion in cases of rape, and when a developing foetus becomes a threat to the mother’s life. The Impermissibility Argument Much of the debate concerning the permissibility of abortion surrounds the notion of ‘personhood’, specifically whether a developing foetus qualifies as such a being. Opponents of abortion expend much energy arguing for the conferring of personhood to the moment of conception, whilst the proponents argue this would be a misclassification. One would not call a pinecone a pine tree; to label a foetus as a person is similarly inappropriate (Thomson: Page 47). Thomson argues this tact distracts from the primary concern of abortion, for even if one grants that a foetus is a person, one’s work is still ahead of them to argue against the permissibility of abortion (Thomson: Page 48). The argument runs as follows: P1: As a person, the foetus has the right to life. P2: As a person, the woman has the right of autonomy concerning her own body. P3: The right to life is more important than the right to autonomy over one’s...

...Parenting in the Age of Modern Technology Families today live in a world saturated by media and technology. The average American child has 3.5 televisions, 3.3 radios, 2.9 VCR/DVD players, 2.1 video game consoles, 1.5 computers, and 3.6 CD or tape players in their home (Pigeron, 2009, p. 1). 84% of children ages 7-17 use the internet in their homes, and 57% have their own cell phones (Kennedy, Smith, Wells, & Wellman, 2008). Media has become intricately woven into the daily lives of families – it acts as a babysitter and teacher, a mediator, entertainer and everyday companion, but perhaps most significantly, it acts as a facilitator of daily family routines, transitions, and interactions. The ubiquity of new technology is quickly changing the means by which families interact with each other to create systems of shared meanings and experiences. Families are adapting to this influx of modern technology and media into their homes by developing new rules and systems of monitoring and regulation. The influence of media on the family life of a second-grade girl, Reagan, and her parents was examined in regards to these changes. In particular, two questions were asked: How do parents perceive and make decisions regarding their children’s use of technology, and how do new forms of technology alter family roles and relationships, particularly those between parent and child? Reagan is the only child of two, married, professional parents. Her media use is typical for children...

...How Therapists Deal with Painful Memories of Post – Traumatic Stress Disorder Victims Abstract How Therapists Deal with Painful Memories of Post – Traumatic Stress Disorder Victims On March 3, 2006, Sergeant Blaire Smith was discharged from the Navy after spending eighteen months in Iraq. While Sergeant Smith was serving time in his deployed location, he was captured and a near death experienced occurred when he was threatened with beheading by his captors. Years later he began seeing flying horses and reported hearing voices from the television that were in a foreign dialogue. It was recommended he see a psychiatrist when family members realized that the foreign dialogue he heard came from the television when it was not turned on. The symptoms that Blaire had were similar to what many other veterans of wars experienced. The doctors treating Sgt. Blaire Smith were familiar with the different types of symptoms he was experiencing and they immediately diagnosed him with Post – Traumatic Stress Disorder (also known as PTSD). PTSD is a common anxiety disorder that develops after exposure to a terrifying event in which a deadly physical harm occurred (Pastorino & Doyle- Portillo, 2010, P. 585). History of PTSD After many years of dealing with the various symptoms of Post – Traumatic Stress Disorder clinicians and psychologist have worked together to develop treatments that help reduced the symptoms of PTSD. These symptoms include depression, anxiety, re-current...

...without TV, smart phones, computers, tablets, or iPods and many other devices; youth have technology surrounding them. As a result, many of the young people raised in the world of technology do not have the same level of emotional skills of those ten or more years ago. Adolescents and children depend on the Internet more than on themselves. They no longer have the same innovativeness. Obesity and cyber bulling has increased over the years. More suicides have occurred. Those who are exposed to violent video games, movies and TV programs have shown aggression. However, parents do not realize how those devices affect their child’s development. Social media already affects many adults; now think about how strongly modern technology affects toddlers and juveniles. High tech devices are damaging our brains more than benefiting us; children and adolescents do not have control over their phones, computers, and video games any more, as adults we need to recognize the devastating that these devices can be for juveniles. Social media is affecting people mentally and physically, and without a doubt has an effect on adolescents of today’s...

...this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are...
