Academic Integrity   Task 1: Academic integrity Academic integrity is a significant aspect that determines the success of the students in their academics. This implies that students should complete their assignments and present their original work and they should never get any form of assistance from a third party. Academic integrity entails adhering to the academic honesty policies that have been formulated by the University. An individual should do his or her work even if a friend offers to help as far as the aspect of academic integrity is concerned (Bretag, 2016). Academic integrity demands students to write their papers and cite from relevant sources according to the provided guidelines. Citing the sources is quite crucial because it signifies the credibility of the information presented. Academic integrity implies reporting an individual that has created in the exam or an assignment for relevant actions against him or her based on the University’s policies. The violation of academic integrity results in disciplinary action against the student which may lead to expulsion from college. Breaching of academic integrity can also fail the course…

The Birth of a Nation After watching the video; the Birth of the Nation I learnt that it is the most debated film in America. According to the film, the Reconstruction was considered as one of the lowest point in the American history. It was as a period of misgovernment and corruption since the black people who were ignorant had suddenly been pushed into positions of political authority in which they were not capable of exercising it. The view of Reconstruction being a period of misgovernment and corruption originated long in the history which was written in the history book in the 20th century. However, today, no reputable historian believed the propaganda of opponents of reconstruction. Today, Reconstruction has brought positive light and we are more impressed with how African American struggled for them to get equality in the country. The black people in the film are portrayed as the root of all evil and had no freedom to voting rights. Additionally, male African American were described as always lusting after the white women. On the other hand, Ku Klux…

The change initiative that I will be proposing for the management of diabetes is affordable gym membership subscriptions for individuals diagnosed with the disease and those pre-diabetic. Resistance and aerobic exercises will form part of the typical exercises at the gym. Aerobic exercises entail continuous movement of large muscle groups (Subrata et al., 2018). The benefits of this training include an increase in insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial density, oxidative enzymes, cardiac output, and lung function (Subramanian et al., 2014). On the other hand, resistance exercises will aid in an increase in muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and cardiovascular health. This approach supports the population of focus, setting, and role. Affordable gym membership subscriptions will play a major role in the African-American setting since most of these poor communities lack access to gyms and physical education teachers (Subrata et al., 2018). My role as an advanced registered nurse will be to provide screening, and diabetes prevention and management advice through instituting behavioral change by participation in physical exercises (Subramanian et al., 2014). The research problem is amenable to a research-based intervention.…

Following the HITECH Act objective, it is imperative to invest appropriately in health information exchange, facilitating coordinated care for patient safety and quality improvement. Implementation of a health information exchange (HIE) program is complex and requires input from numerous stakeholders. This interview transcript details the team efforts and my role as a nurse in advocating for the implementation of an HIE within my practice.

HIE is a critical component in the realization of healthcare reforms as it enables the achievement of three objectives of quality healthcare: (1) improvement of population health…

Objective Summary In her essay “Anthropology and the Abnormal,” benedict posits that normality is defined culturally by a specific society. Societal habits depend on cultural, social conditioning. Normal is on what people in a particular culture believes in, either good or bad. Besides, a culture might be normal in one society and abnormal in another depending on cultural beliefs. For instance, she illustrates that mild mystic is aberrant in some culture whereas other people view the extreme psychic manifestations as desirable and normal as well as highly valued by the such a society (Vaughn 33). Arguably, the author shows that wrongness or abnormality is culturally built and accepted by a society according to their way of life. Benedict attempted to elucidate that cultures within different societies have varying ethical standards. Therefore, no individuals outside of a specific culture is possibly able to attempt to acknowledge or know the morality and goodness of that culture. As such, individual’s morals are comprehensively formed by culture. Moreover, there is no universal moral code of conduct. Consequently, a normal action can be termed as…

After School Program for Teenagers After School Program for Teenagers After school programs provide child care to school-aged teenagers while not at school. They include a range of programs from summer camps and daycare centers to an after school club operating within the community (Nicholson, Collins, & Holmer, 2014). With the rising number of teenagers with working-class parents, most children are left unsupervised when out of school sessions. These have the prospect of exposing them to engage in illegal activities such as shoplifting, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and engage in illicit sexual behaviors leading to early pregnancies. Most parents in NY are looking for a secure place for their children while out of school sessions. Needs Assessment The proposed after school program is designed to provide a safe and secure place for school going teenagers in NY City when schools are not in session. A needs assessment survey is conducted through holding interviews, meetings, and distributing surveys to critical individuals in the community and education department. The assessment will determine whether there is a need to establish after school…

A topic related to citizenship education and national identity in an Asian country (except for Hong Kong) Topic: Global Trends in citizenship education: The lessons for Singapore Introduction Citizenship education is critically important to adapt to the school curriculum in most countries. However, it takes different kinds of forms and purposes. In this regard, it differs from one country to another. The recent pressures caused by an increasing rate of globalization implies that citizenship is now being viewed in global terms. It is because of the homogenization of the cultures and supranational groupings. It is challenging the locally based versions of citizenships. Even though there are different kinds of challenges, nations like Singapore have a critical responsibility to ensure the continuance of citizenship. Teachers must have an understanding of citizenship education, which is different from the traditional western systems. In this regard, it is critically important to look at citizenship education in countries where there was the establishment of democracy in recent times.
