Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.
This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.
Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:
1.Values/Health Perception
2.Nutrition
3.Sleep/Rest
4.Elimination
5.Activity/Exercise
6.Cognitive
7.Sensory-Perception
8.Self-Perception
9.Role Relationship
10.Sexuality
11.Coping
Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.
Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.
Include the following in your paper:
1.Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
2.Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
3.Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
4.Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.
Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required

What kind of health hazards are linked to HRT use? list and explain ethically questionable practices that are described in the paper. Be specific.

/in /by

This week we will consider the rise and fall of hormone replacement therapy. As we learned, publications ethics affect not only individual author’s professional standing and funding, but they can also have a very large impact on public health. As an example, we will examine the paper by Adriane Fugh-Berman “The Haunting of Medical Journals: how ghostwriting sold HRT”.

An author: Adriane Fugh-Berman is an associate professor in the department of pharmacology and physiology, and in the department of family medicine, at Georgetown University Medical Center. She is also the director of PharmedOut, a research center at Georgetown University Medical Center dedicated to researching the effects of pharmaceutical industry marketing on drug prescriptions (wiki).

Background: Menopause occurs when woman’s ovaries cease to produce female hormone estrogen, which usually happens in the fifth or sixth decade of life. Giving that estrogen is essential for maintenance of almost all the organs in female body, not just reproduction, it is hard to overstate the role of this hormone.

Onset of menopause is commonly accompanied by symptoms that can range from mild to very severe. Menopausal symptoms could last for years and be quite disabling. Therefore, in many cases menopause negatively affects women’s quality of live and ability to function. Since every woman will undergo menopause in her life, the demand for the interventions that can alleviate menopausal symptoms is tremendous.

Unfortunately, in the past none of these interventions provided any significant relief. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), when “missing” estrogen was formulated in a drug form, brought a new era in treating menopausal symptoms and was greeted with enthusiasm by both clinicians and patients. However, unethical writing and publishing practices contributed to over-selling the treatment which lead to serious harm to many women.

When the connection between HRT and increased morbidity and mortality became apparent, thousands lawsuits followed, drug companies paid off, and unethical practices came to light.

Write a short (1-2 pages single space, 11 pts font) assay on what you learned from the paper by Fught-Berman and supplementary material. Specifically, touch the following points:

  1. a) What kind of health hazards are linked to HRT use?
  2. b) List and explain ethically questionable practices that are described in the paper. Be specific.
  3. c) Growth of majority of breast cancers is stimulated by estrogen. Dissect the approach by which drug companies sent the message minimizing the risk of breast cancer in women on HRT.

Write an essay outlining the brief history of and improvement of patient care in Ontario focusing around technology and the widening scope of practice for paramedics In Ontario, Canada. This should be mentioning the BHP ( Base Hospital System ), BLS and ALS

Write an essay outlining the brief history of and improvement of patient care in Ontario focusing around technology and the widening scope of practice for paramedics In Ontario, Canada. This should be mentioning the BHP ( Base Hospital System ), BLS and ALS and how technology such a stretchers, ambulances, cardiac monitors and other pieces of technology increase the quality of care provided and how it is affecting the mortality rates. What this looks like moving forward and how the science of paramedicine changes daily. It needs just a few loose references and can be relaxed into more of an opinion piece as long as the viewpoint is pro universal and progressive healthcare as it relates to Canada through the eyes of a paramedic. Citing can be done in APA or MLA which ever is easiest. Does not need to be super technical in the details but it should come from an understanding of the health care system as a whole. Abbreviations are okay once used and clarified previously in the paper. Lastly the paper should mostly focus on perspective of Primary Care and Advanced Care Paramedics with maybe a little bit of reference to Critical Care Air Paramedics
