This document summarizes a study that assessed organizational and professional conditions related to identifying and reporting children at risk of harm within four Swedish children's hospitals. The study found that hospitals differed in the level of organizational support provided to staff. It also found that different professional groups, such as nurses and nurse assistants, had lower levels of awareness about reporting obligations and support structures compared to physicians and social workers. The study argues that all professional groups need equal access to education and the opportunity to be more involved in assessments and reporting to strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration and properly identify children at risk.
A Matter Of Professional Status The Impact Of Medical Hierarchies On Child M...Alicia Edwards
The study explored differences between physicians, nurses, nurse assistants, and hospital social workers in their work addressing child maltreatment at children's hospitals in Sweden.
The results showed that nurses and nurse assistants had less experience and training than physicians and social workers. Nurses and nurse assistants were also less familiar with reporting guidelines and organizational support. It was rare for nurses and nurse assistants to have reported child maltreatment cases, compared to physicians and social workers. The analysis found that differences between professional groups were influenced by medical hierarchies within hospitals. The study concluded that all staff would benefit from additional training to improve assessments and feel more supported in the reporting process. Strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration at clinical levels could also help protect children
This document discusses the benefits of childhood intervention services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It argues that early intervention and school-age intervention can help children with ASD develop social and behavioral skills that allow them to transition successfully into adulthood. Research shows that childhood interventions like applied behavior analysis therapy and video modeling can significantly improve outcomes for children with ASD in areas like language, cognitive development, and adaptive behaviors. However, many children do not receive these beneficial services due to lack of insurance coverage and high costs. The document concludes that public health policies are needed to ensure children with ASD have access to evidence-based interventions throughout childhood.
This document discusses building an effective therapeutic relationship with an adolescent Hispanic/Latino patient living in a middle-class suburb. Communication challenges may arise due to potential language barriers and low health literacy.

Abstract
Background: Although research about medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) is extensive, problems still affect a
large group of primary care patients. Most research seems to address the topic from a problem-oriented, medical
perspective, and there is a lack of research addressing the topic from a perspective viewing the patient as a capable person
with potential and resources to manage daily life. The aim of the present study is to describe and interpret the experiences of
learning to live with MUS as narrated by patients in primary health-care settings.
Methods: A phenomenological�hermeneutic method was used. Narrative interviews were performed with ten patients
suffering from MUS aged 24�61 years. Data were analysed in three steps: naive reading, structural analysis, and
comprehensive understanding.
Findings: The findings revealed a learning process that is presented in two themes. The first, feeling that the symptoms
overwhelm life, involved becoming restricted and dependent in daily life and losing the sense of self. The second, gaining
insights and moving on, was based on subthemes describing the patients’ search for explanations, learning to take care of
oneself, as well as learning to accept and becoming mindful. The findings were reflected against Antonovsky’s theory of sense
of coherence and Kelly’s personal construct theory. Possibilities and obstacles, on an individual as well as a structural level,
for promoting patients’ capacity and learning were illuminated.
Conclusions: Patients suffering from MUS constantly engage in a reflective process involving reasoning about and
interpretation of their symptoms. Their efforts to describe their symptoms to healthcare professionals are part of this
reflection and search for meaning. The role of healthcare professionals in the interpretative process should be acknowledged
as a conventional and necessary care activity.

Medicating Children
This chapter is divided into seven sections. Section One is an overview that discusses current trends in medicating children, problems the trends cause, and directions for the future. It also discusses developmental issues. Section Two focuses on stimulant medication and the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Section Three focuses on research on combined interventions and particularly the Multimodal Treatment Study (MTA study) of Children with ADHD. Section Four focuses on children taking mood stabilizers. Section Five focuses on antipsychotics and children. Sections Six and Seven focus on anxiolytics and antidepressants in children, respectively.
SECTION ONE: PERSPECTIVES, DILEMMAS, AND FUTURE PARADIGMS

Advanced Nursing Practice Role
Student’s Name: Alien R Perez
Institution: South University
Professor: Dawn Julian
Date: 09/06/2016
Introduction
An advanced practice-nursing role in the specialty area is that of a family nurse practitioner (FNP). Typically, FNPs practice in primary care settings. The National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs), the family nurse practitioner’s role is clinical in nature since the practitioner must possess clinical skills to carry out important functions such as management and assessment of chronic and acute conditions. The role of FNP enhances patient safety since it places immense emphasis on health promotion, disease prevention and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve patient care outcomes. The FNP also fosters patient safety through emphasizing on the provision of holistic and culturally congruent care. Conducting further research on the role of the FNP will help in providing greater understanding of the scope of this advanced practice role. Apart from exploring the FNP role, this discussion also highlights insights gained from an expert opinion article and two scholarly research articles that have scrutinized different aspects of the role.
Discussion
FNPs play an indispensable role in the health care system, particularly in the primary care settings where the mainly practice. The NPSGs affirm that the FNP role is clinical in nature. To this end, it recognizes these practitioners as clinical experts with an obligation of implementing holistic interventions that focus on both cure and care. According to Hamric, Hanson, Tracy, & O'Grady (2014), FNPs offer comprehensive, continuing and client-centered care to individual patients as well as members of their families. Therefore, they must have the desired academic expertise and clinical skills needed for guaranteeing the success of disease prevention initiatives, and health promotion efforts. The clinical skills are also critical for ensuring the FNPs are effective in dispensing their duties of assessing, managing and treating acute as well as chronic illness in populations of interest (Hamric et al., 2014).
Distler (2013) acknowledges that apart from diagnosing and treating illnesses, FNPs additionally provide preventive care services that often include routine check-ups, immunizations, screening tests, personalized counseling and health risk assessments in the target populations. As such, these nurse practitioners play a central role in promotion of patient safety. Moreover, through emphasis on providing holistic care, FNPs are able to build strong, lasting relationships with patients, families and communities. These relationships empower the family nurse practitioners to dispense culturally sensitive care. Eventually, the strong rela ...
The document provides a literature review and methodology for a study examining the non-medical information needs of parents with newly diagnosed sick children. The literature review identifies key challenges faced by parental caregivers like stress, informational barriers, and needs. A quantitative survey was conducted with parents in oncology and haematology units to understand their awareness and satisfaction with supportive information provided. The results found that length of care, timing of information, and availability of financial support information most impacted parental satisfaction.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of a DNP-prepared nurse educator. It explores how a DNP nurse educator can teach both in academic and clinical settings while also bridging the gap between nursing education and practice. It then presents a PICOT question regarding the implementation of a diabetes self-management education program and examines strategies to address barriers to effective diabetes management.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of a DNP-prepared nurse educator. It compares the activities of an academic DNP nurse educator, who teaches graduate nursing students, to a clinical DNP nurse educator, who provides education in a healthcare setting.

Child Abuse
Introduction
This research paper will involve the reviewing of the issue of child abuse. Child abuse is an issues that has been happening in the society since the ancient times. However, in the modern world, the categorization and the definition of child abuse has changed. Definition of child abuse will involve the inclusion of the different forms of the abuse, common modes of child abuse and the interventions that can be used for addressing of the issues of child abuse. There are different reasons as to why the research study about child abuse is important in the current world, due to the fact that the gathering of data and information about child abuse will help in the devising of strategies and ways of addressing this crisis. According to reports by different organizations such as World Health Organization(WHO), most of the cases of child abuse can be avoided or even treated. Forms of child abuse such as physical, sexual, neglect and even emotional or psychological abuse can be prevented through understanding them.
Rationale for the selection of the topic of child abuse as a research paper is to pass information to the people about the adverse effects associated with child abuse, interventions which can be used for addressing the issue of child abuse and the possible reasons for the increase in the cases of child abuse in the modern world. Consequently, researching on this topic of child abuse helps in the minimization of cots that would have been incurred fostering care, counselling in the family as well medical care. Rationally, most people still have the mentality and perception that child abuse is characterized by the old definitions of working in farms and factories as well as plantations. However, in the current world, child abuse has been revolutionized as well. Issues of sexual abuse and exploitation, such as trafficking, rape and commercial sex are emerging issues in child abuse. Adverse effects of child abuse are normally evident due to the fact that some aspects of child abuse such as emotional hardly heal (Jud, Andreas, Jörg M. Fegert, and David Finkelhor, 17). Due to the fact that issues of child abuse have been ignored in the society, analysis and research on this issue will help in the addressing and handling of this issue.
Background
Different definitions and forms of child abuse have been suggested by both scholars and researchers. Basically, child abuse or even child maltreatment involves the previously identified forms, that is sexual, emotional, neglect and physical. Most of the countries have been sensitizing on the issue of child abuse, with these four notable forms of child abuse having penalties and custody depending on the seriousness of the case. Different perceptions and ideas have been presented with regard to corporal punishmen.
The document discusses barriers to interpersonal communication, including language barriers, cultural medical mistrust, psychological barriers, and differing cultural beliefs that can affect communication. It also describes the procedures used in a physical exam, such as inspection, percussion, palpation, auscultation, and manipulation. Finally, it explains the SOAP method for documenting patient data, where subjective data comes from the patient, objective data from observations and exams, assessment is the provider's analysis, and planning is the treatment plan.
Causal relationships between risk estimates and alcohol consumptio.docxcravennichole326
Causal relationships between risk estimates and alcohol consumption must be made cautiously as most studies have used a cross-sectional methodology, poor definitions of alcohol use, and inadequate assessments of risk perceptions. Despite a lack of evidence, the concept of adolescent “invulnerability” remains pervasive in both scientific and lay circles, is used to explain adolescents' decisions to engage in a potentially harmful behavior and is incorporated into many intervention programs (Fell, et al., 2015). Longitudinal, prospective studies are needed to understand fully the extent to which perceptions of low risk predict and motivate alcohol use.
I. Perceptions of Alcohol-Related Benefits:
An emphasis on perceived risk alone may be inadequate to predict or change behavior because a risk is only part of the behavioral decision-making equation. What is missing knows the extent to which adolescents perceive benefits of risky behaviors. The decision literature has argued that individuals should consider both the risks and benefits when making decisions. In addition, alcohol expectancy researchers have found that perceived benefits, in addition to perceived risks, are significant predictors of drinking behavior. More recently, Goldberg and colleagues (2002) concluded that, regardless of age, participants with more drinking experience perceived benefits to be more likely to occur, and risks less likely (Grube & Voas, 2014).
Indeed, adolescents' reasons for drinking alcohol often include an acknowledgment or identification of alcohol-related benefits, such as alcohol being used in social interactions to help them to reduce inhibitions, feel more relaxed reduce tension, foster courage, and reduce worry. Attachment theories are based on the view that human beings have an intrinsic and universal desire to be accepted by others. Parent attachment is broadly conceptualized as the overall level of parental responsiveness toward the offspring.
The youth’s internalization of the security of attachment is expected to be imprinted heuristically through interaction with the caregiver, in time becoming relatively resistant to change, showing enduring effects across the lifespan (Miller, et al., 2010). Through the formation of secure bonds to parents, children acquire a robust internal working model of themselves and others.
Youth with secure attachment to parents develop the skills necessary to regulate their Attachment emotional theories are based on the view that human beings have an intrinsic and universal desire to be accepted by others. Parent attachment is broadly conceptualized as the overall level of parental responsiveness toward the offspring (Foster, et al., 2013).

Hello Dr Kyzar and Class
· Does the research design answer the research question? Explain your rationale.
Lloyd et al., 2018 focused at establishig whether the school-based interventions for children of ages 9-10 years would help in preventive excessive weight gain after 24 months. The researchers used pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial of the Healthier Lifestyle Programme (HeLP) which is a school-based obesity prevention intervention that was performed in 32 schools found in the southwest England. This method is revealing school as the ideal location for the childhood obesity preventiuon programs due to the near-universal reach f children in the socioeconomic spectrum. It also shows the importance of the change in the diet and physical activity behaviors and their impacts on the weight status (Lloyd, et al., 2018). Were the study sample participants representative? Why or why not?
The sample calculation assumed a mean of 35 children age 9-10 years in every school and this implies that a total of 1,120 samples were used. This is a good number that can represents the problems at the 32 schools that were being targeted by the researchers.
Compare and contrast the study limitations in this study.
The findings of the study shows that the effectiveness of the school-based obesity prevention programmed is inconclusive and contradictory. The interventions used are highly heterogenous in the design and most of the studies used for the research have some methodological weaknesses for example the inadequate statistical power, greater levels of attrition, differential uptake, follow-up, and the short-lived follow-up.
· Based on this evidence summary, would you consider this systematic review as support for your selected practice problem? Explain your rationale.
Two themes were considered to be important i.e. energy in and decision making and the responsibility. It is clear that school hosts many children and can therefore be used as ideal place to deliver the population-based interventions. Even though it might not adequately intensed to affect both school and the family environment hence wieght of the children, it needs to be promoted since it helps in changing the health behaviors of the children. This is important in addressing the issue of childhood obesity sinnce it helps in promoting healthy behaviors among children (Lloyd , et al., 2018).

This document outlines a dissertation proposal on developing an intervention program to improve foster parents' knowledge and practices around promoting attachment with children in their care. It provides background on the foster care system and issues children often face. A literature review discusses research showing a lack of secure attachment can negatively impact children's outcomes and increase placement disruption. Previous interventions have focused on the child-parent relationship but have not sufficiently trained foster parents. The proposed study would develop and evaluate a 12-session program to enhance foster parents' attachment-related knowledge and practices.

This paper explores the cross-national challenges of integrating
evidence-based interventions into existing services for high-resource-
using children and youth. Using several North American model
programme exemplars that have demonstrated efficacy, the paper
explores multiple challenges confronting policy-makers, evaluation
researchers and practitioners who seek to enhance outcomes for
troubled children and youth and improve overall service effective-
ness. The paper concludes with practical implications for youth and
family professionals, researchers, service agencies and policy–makers,
with particular emphasis on possibilities for cross-national
collaboration.

Across many national boundaries and within multiple
service contexts – juvenile justice, child mental and
child welfare – there is a growing concern about a
proportionately small number of multiply challenged
children and youth who consume a disproportionate
share of service resources, professional time and public
attention. While accurate, empirically validated popu-
lation estimates and descriptions remain elusive. The
consensus of many international youth and family
researchers, including those reported by McAuley
and Davis (2009) (UK), Pecora et al. (2009a) (US)
and Egelund and Lausten (2009) (Denmark) in this
present volume seems to be that some combination of
externalizing, ‘acting-out’ behaviour, problems with
substance abuse, identified and often untreated mental
health problems, experience with trauma and challeng-
ing familial and neighbourhood factors are often, and
in various combinations, manifest in the population of
children and youth most challenging to serve. Many of
these find their way into intensive out-of-home care
services, and Thoburn (2007) provides a useful
window into the out-of-home care status of children in
14 countries and offers useful observations on
improvements in collecting administrative data for
child and family services to inform both policy and
practice. Others call for a critical re-examination of the
present status of ‘placement’ as a central fulcrum
in child and family services policy and practice
(Whittaker & Maluccio 2002).
A sense of urgency is conveyed by the fact that
many child and youth clients of ‘deep-end’, restrictive
(out-of-home) services disproportionately represent

History Taking and Risk Assessment
Developing an appropriate rapport is necessary when evaluating patient’s health needs as well as their risk assessment for the development of various debilitating conditions. An effective patient-practitioner rapport has been linked to improved patient health-care outcomes. A health care professional should have the intellectual capacity to internalize their patient’s feelings and emotional concerns aiming at maintaining the appropriate respect for their individual patients. In the case scenario provided, the patient is a 26-year-old Lebanese female living in a graduate-student housing requiring a health risk assessment. The initial step that should be taken by the health care professional is to introduce themselves to the patient to eliminate any possible ambiguity about their current care giver. The next step is to commence a rapport while making sure to maintain sociocultural sensitivity for extraction of precise and optimal details that will promote the formulation of an appropriate treatment plan for the patient. Use of open-ended questions is integral when obtaining a thorough history as it avoids omission and clinician-based bias (Tanwani, 2016). Empathy is exercised during practice as it allows the patient to feel understood and facilitates promotion of an effective patient-clinician rapport. Listening is a communication skill commonly overlooked but has a crucial role when attempting to narrow in on a diagnosis following an elaborate history of presenting illness.
Health Risk Assessment Instrument of Choice
The patient is a 26-year-old student living in the graduate-student housing. She is currently of child bearing age and is prone to contracting sexually transmitted diseases. This evokes the need for a Sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk assessment which involves diseases such as Human immunodeficiency virus infections among other STDs. Obtaining a sexual history from patients can at times seem challenging but should be carried out thoroughly with empathy and a non-judgmental attitude. Patient-practitioner confidentiality should also be assured for comfort and ease of assessment (Barrow, Ahmed, Bolan & Workowski, 2020). Women of child bearing age that are engaged in sexual intercourse should be frequently screened for STDs via history taking and physical examination. Moreover, culture and socioeconomic status play a major role in STD acquisition predisposition as various individuals have different practices as well as beliefs.
Targeted Questions
Specific sexual history questions should be asked in reference to the patient’s health assessment. The frequency and modes of sexual pleasure should be documented alongside the number of sexual partners involved with the patient. Multiple sexual partners are highly associated with a higher risk of STD acquisition. In addition, multiple sexual practices can greatly increase the risk of developing.

The topic I selected that has both legal and ethical implications for PMHNP practices is restraints. Restraints come in three forms: chemical, physical, and seclusion.

The document discusses the advantages of watching movies at home versus going to the movie theater. It argues that watching movies at home is preferable due to lower costs, more convenient viewing options, and the ability to pause or rewatch scenes. Specifically, movie tickets and concessions at theaters are expensive. Additionally, theater showtimes can be inconvenient and difficult to plan around. In contrast, watching at home allows pausing or rewatching scenes at no extra cost on streaming services or personal media players.

Advanced Nursing Practice Role
Student’s Name: Alien R Perez

Introduction
An advanced practice-nursing role in the specialty area is that of a family nurse practitioner (FNP). Typically, FNPs practice in primary care settings. The National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs), the family nurse practitioner’s role is clinical in nature since the practitioner must possess clinical skills to carry out important functions such as management and assessment of chronic and acute conditions. The role of FNP enhances patient safety since it places immense emphasis on health promotion, disease prevention and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve patient care outcomes. The FNP also fosters patient safety through emphasizing on the provision of holistic and culturally congruent care. Conducting further research on the role of the FNP will help in providing greater understanding of the scope of this advanced practice role. Apart from exploring the FNP role, this discussion also highlights insights gained from an expert opinion article and two scholarly research articles that have scrutinized different aspects of the role.
Discussion
FNPs play an indispensable role in the health care system, particularly in the primary care settings where the mainly practice. The NPSGs affirm that the FNP role is clinical in nature. To this end, it recognizes these practitioners as clinical experts with an obligation of implementing holistic interventions that focus on both cure and care. According to Hamric, Hanson, Tracy, & O'Grady (2014), FNPs offer comprehensive, continuing and client-centered care to individual patients as well as members of their families. Therefore, they must have the desired academic expertise and clinical skills needed for guaranteeing the success of disease prevention initiatives, and health promotion efforts. The clinical skills are also critical for ensuring the FNPs are effective in dispensing their duties of assessing, managing and treating acute as well as chronic illness in populations of interest (Hamric et al., 2014).
Distler (2013) acknowledges that apart from diagnosing and treating illnesses, FNPs additionally provide preventive care services that often include routine check-ups, immunizations, screening tests, personalized counseling and health risk assessments in the target populations. As such, these nurse practitioners play a central role in promotion of patient safety. Moreover, through emphasis on providing holistic care, FNPs are able to build strong, lasting relationships with patients, families and communities. These relationships empower the family nurse practitioners to dispense culturally sensitive care. Eventually, the strong rela ...

Child Abuse
Introduction
This research paper will involve the reviewing of the issue of child abuse. Child abuse is an issues that has been happening in the society since the ancient times. However, in the modern world, the categorization and the definition of child abuse has changed. Definition of child abuse will involve the inclusion of the different forms of the abuse, common modes of child abuse and the interventions that can be used for addressing of the issues of child abuse. There are different reasons as to why the research study about child abuse is important in the current world, due to the fact that the gathering of data and information about child abuse will help in the devising of strategies and ways of addressing this crisis. According to reports by different organizations such as World Health Organization(WHO), most of the cases of child abuse can be avoided or even treated. Forms of child abuse such as physical, sexual, neglect and even emotional or psychological abuse can be prevented through understanding them.
Rationale for the selection of the topic of child abuse as a research paper is to pass information to the people about the adverse effects associated with child abuse, interventions which can be used for addressing the issue of child abuse and the possible reasons for the increase in the cases of child abuse in the modern world. Consequently, researching on this topic of child abuse helps in the minimization of cots that would have been incurred fostering care, counselling in the family as well medical care. Rationally, most people still have the mentality and perception that child abuse is characterized by the old definitions of working in farms and factories as well as plantations. However, in the current world, child abuse has been revolutionized as well. Issues of sexual abuse and exploitation, such as trafficking, rape and commercial sex are emerging issues in child abuse. Adverse effects of child abuse are normally evident due to the fact that some aspects of child abuse such as emotional hardly heal (Jud, Andreas, Jörg M. Fegert, and David Finkelhor, 17). Due to the fact that issues of child abuse have been ignored in the society, analysis and research on this issue will help in the addressing and handling of this issue.
Background
Different definitions and forms of child abuse have been suggested by both scholars and researchers. Basically, child abuse or even child maltreatment involves the previously identified forms, that is sexual, emotional, neglect and physical. Most of the countries have been sensitizing on the issue of child abuse, with these four notable forms of child abuse having penalties and custody depending on the seriousness of the case. Different perceptions and ideas have been presented with regard to corporal punishmen.
The document discusses barriers to interpersonal communication, including language barriers, cultural medical mistrust, psychological barriers, and differing cultural beliefs that can affect communication. It also describes the procedures used in a physical exam, such as inspection, percussion, palpation, auscultation, and manipulation. Finally, it explains the SOAP method for documenting patient data, where subjective data comes from the patient, objective data from observations and exams, assessment is the provider's analysis, and planning is the treatment plan.
Causal relationships between risk estimates and alcohol consumptio.docxcravennichole326
Causal relationships between risk estimates and alcohol consumption must be made cautiously as most studies have used a cross-sectional methodology, poor definitions of alcohol use, and inadequate assessments of risk perceptions. Despite a lack of evidence, the concept of adolescent “invulnerability” remains pervasive in both scientific and lay circles, is used to explain adolescents' decisions to engage in a potentially harmful behavior and is incorporated into many intervention programs (Fell, et al., 2015). Longitudinal, prospective studies are needed to understand fully the extent to which perceptions of low risk predict and motivate alcohol use.
I. Perceptions of Alcohol-Related Benefits:
An emphasis on perceived risk alone may be inadequate to predict or change behavior because a risk is only part of the behavioral decision-making equation. What is missing knows the extent to which adolescents perceive benefits of risky behaviors. The decision literature has argued that individuals should consider both the risks and benefits when making decisions. In addition, alcohol expectancy researchers have found that perceived benefits, in addition to perceived risks, are significant predictors of drinking behavior. More recently, Goldberg and colleagues (2002) concluded that, regardless of age, participants with more drinking experience perceived benefits to be more likely to occur, and risks less likely (Grube & Voas, 2014).
Indeed, adolescents' reasons for drinking alcohol often include an acknowledgment or identification of alcohol-related benefits, such as alcohol being used in social interactions to help them to reduce inhibitions, feel more relaxed reduce tension, foster courage, and reduce worry. Attachment theories are based on the view that human beings have an intrinsic and universal desire to be accepted by others. Parent attachment is broadly conceptualized as the overall level of parental responsiveness toward the offspring.
The youth’s internalization of the security of attachment is expected to be imprinted heuristically through interaction with the caregiver, in time becoming relatively resistant to change, showing enduring effects across the lifespan (Miller, et al., 2010). Through the formation of secure bonds to parents, children acquire a robust internal working model of themselves and others.
Youth with secure attachment to parents develop the skills necessary to regulate their Attachment emotional theories are based on the view that human beings have an intrinsic and universal desire to be accepted by others. Parent attachment is broadly conceptualized as the overall level of parental responsiveness toward the offspring (Foster, et al., 2013).

Hello Dr Kyzar and Class· Does the research design answer the reSusanaFurman449
Hello Dr Kyzar and Class
· Does the research design answer the research question? Explain your rationale.
Lloyd et al., 2018 focused at establishig whether the school-based interventions for children of ages 9-10 years would help in preventive excessive weight gain after 24 months. The researchers used pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial of the Healthier Lifestyle Programme (HeLP) which is a school-based obesity prevention intervention that was performed in 32 schools found in the southwest England. This method is revealing school as the ideal location for the childhood obesity preventiuon programs due to the near-universal reach f children in the socioeconomic spectrum. It also shows the importance of the change in the diet and physical activity behaviors and their impacts on the weight status (Lloyd, et al., 2018). Were the study sample participants representative? Why or why not?
The sample calculation assumed a mean of 35 children age 9-10 years in every school and this implies that a total of 1,120 samples were used. This is a good number that can represents the problems at the 32 schools that were being targeted by the researchers.
Compare and contrast the study limitations in this study.
The findings of the study shows that the effectiveness of the school-based obesity prevention programmed is inconclusive and contradictory. The interventions used are highly heterogenous in the design and most of the studies used for the research have some methodological weaknesses for example the inadequate statistical power, greater levels of attrition, differential uptake, follow-up, and the short-lived follow-up.
· Based on this evidence summary, would you consider this systematic review as support for your selected practice problem? Explain your rationale.
Two themes were considered to be important i.e. energy in and decision making and the responsibility. It is clear that school hosts many children and can therefore be used as ideal place to deliver the population-based interventions. Even though it might not adequately intensed to affect both school and the family environment hence wieght of the children, it needs to be promoted since it helps in changing the health behaviors of the children. This is important in addressing the issue of childhood obesity sinnce it helps in promoting healthy behaviors among children (Lloyd , et al., 2018).

This document outlines a dissertation proposal on developing an intervention program to improve foster parents' knowledge and practices around promoting attachment with children in their care. It provides background on the foster care system and issues children often face. A literature review discusses research showing a lack of secure attachment can negatively impact children's outcomes and increase placement disruption. Previous interventions have focused on the child-parent relationship but have not sufficiently trained foster parents. The proposed study would develop and evaluate a 12-session program to enhance foster parents' attachment-related knowledge and practices.

Across many national boundaries and within multiple
service contexts – juvenile justice, child mental and
child welfare – there is a growing concern about a
proportionately small number of multiply challenged
children and youth who consume a disproportionate
share of service resources, professional time and public
attention. While accurate, empirically validated popu-
lation estimates and descriptions remain elusive. The
consensus of many international youth and family
researchers, including those reported by McAuley
and Davis (2009) (UK), Pecora et al. (2009a) (US)
and Egelund and Lausten (2009) (Denmark) in this
present volume seems to be that some combination of
externalizing, ‘acting-out’ behaviour, problems with
substance abuse, identified and often untreated mental
health problems, experience with trauma and challeng-
ing familial and neighbourhood factors are often, and
in various combinations, manifest in the population of
children and youth most challenging to serve. Many of
these find their way into intensive out-of-home care
services, and Thoburn (2007) provides a useful
window into the out-of-home care status of children in
14 countries and offers useful observations on
improvements in collecting administrative data for
child and family services to inform both policy and
practice. Others call for a critical re-examination of the
present status of ‘placement’ as a central fulcrum
in child and family services policy and practice
(Whittaker & Maluccio 2002).
A sense of urgency is conveyed by the fact that
many child and youth clients of ‘deep-end’, restrictive
(out-of-home) services disproportionately represent

History Taking and Risk Assessment
Developing an appropriate rapport is necessary when evaluating patient’s health needs as well as their risk assessment for the development of various debilitating conditions. An effective patient-practitioner rapport has been linked to improved patient health-care outcomes. A health care professional should have the intellectual capacity to internalize their patient’s feelings and emotional concerns aiming at maintaining the appropriate respect for their individual patients. In the case scenario provided, the patient is a 26-year-old Lebanese female living in a graduate-student housing requiring a health risk assessment. The initial step that should be taken by the health care professional is to introduce themselves to the patient to eliminate any possible ambiguity about their current care giver. The next step is to commence a rapport while making sure to maintain sociocultural sensitivity for extraction of precise and optimal details that will promote the formulation of an appropriate treatment plan for the patient. Use of open-ended questions is integral when obtaining a thorough history as it avoids omission and clinician-based bias (Tanwani, 2016). Empathy is exercised during practice as it allows the patient to feel understood and facilitates promotion of an effective patient-clinician rapport. Listening is a communication skill commonly overlooked but has a crucial role when attempting to narrow in on a diagnosis following an elaborate history of presenting illness.

1. The document discusses the problem of induction that was raised by David Hume. Hume argued that induction cannot be justified because it is impossible to prove that nature is uniform and the future will resemble the past.
2. Bertrand Russell proposed the principle of induction as a way to overcome this problem. He argued that past experiences increase the probability that a pattern will continue in the future, though it cannot be proven.
3. The author expands on Russell's ideas, arguing that since the future becomes the past, we can experience future futures becoming past futures, justifying the assumption that they will be uniform based on observable natural laws like gravity. This allows induction to be justified for experiences within the realm of observable
