Second assignment
There have long been competing visions of freedom and liberty
in America, from colonial days
up through now. In the 1920s and 1930s, we see this is truer
than ever before. How and why?
You should use at least some of the documents on Sakai
(Freedom and liberty documents: “The
Fight for Civil Liberties,” “Meyer v. Nebraska and the Meaning
of Liberty,” “Herbert Hoover
on the New Deal and Liberty,” “Elsie Hill and Florence Kelley
Debate the Equal Rights
Amendment,” “Goals of the National Negro Congress, 1935”
and “A Communist Party Leader
Prophesizes a Soviet America, 1932”), your textbook, and
whatever else we may cover in class.
You should plan to write a cohesive, formal essay, at least 1300
words in length and up to about
1600 words, in which you develop an argument and advance it
through making points and using
evidence to back them up.
The formatting is the usual – double-spaced, standard margins,
normal sized font (11 or 12 point,
depending on which you choose) and so on.

2. Do not use outside sources for this assignment. You should only
be referencing the textbook and
documents, and whatever we may cover in class.
You can just use parenthetical citations (Author/document
name, page number) after something
you wish to cite. Since you will all be using the same sources,
there is no need for a works cited

Re:Topic 1 DQ 1
The Health Belief Model was developed in the 1950s to better
understand the widespread failure of screening programs for TB
("HBM," 2016). We use this today, however, people are
complex and multifaceted. Lifestyle changes are the hardest to
modify. In the 1980s an amendment was made to this model
with incorporation of Self Efficacy. One’s belief in their ability
to succeed or accomplish a task can play a role in how one
approaches goals and challenges. This makes one look inward
and think of all the aspects of life that should be modified to be
healthy. We see a rise of obesity related illnesses, and yet our
diets are getting worse. We see tobacco still being used and we
know the cardiovascular and pulmonary damage it causes.
Lifestyle changes are possible and nurses can help in these
changes by following the HBM.
In understanding benefits and barriers we can teach these to our
patients coming from a place of their individual variable (age,
gender, race, economy etc). In my population of L&D, we see

3. many uncontrolled IDDM. This is a great teaching area
because developing Gestational Diabetes elevates their
chances of developing DM at some point in their lives, and
increases their baby’s odds as well. The HBM addresses the
person’s perceptions of the threat posed by diabetes
(susceptibility, severity), the benefits of avoiding the threat,
and the factors influencing the decision to act (barriers, cues to
action, and self-efficacy). The nurse can help the patient gain a
belief that they can participate in the recommended health
behavior (Amason, Lee, Aduddell, Hewell, & Van Brackle,
2016, p. 515-527). Teaching of added resources and community
programs to help with promoting behaviors is a way a nurse can
empower the patient. When patients leave the hospital,
hopefully they will have the supports (Cues to Action) in their
education from health care providers, influence of family,
information from media, or even life experiences.
The growing epidemic of DM in women shows the need to
provide education and assistance to them for the attitude of
change to occur. Finding strategies to enhance education from
nurses will benefit the patient. We as nurses have many
opportunities to teach, educate, and promote a healthy lifestyle.
As we learn the Health Belief Model we can be more effective
in speaking to the patient as an individual with their limiting
obstacles to lifestyle changes.
