Few would disagree that nursing is one of the most underrated professions in modern times. Being a nurse isn’t easy. In fact, it is a field that can be extremely demanding and even unforgiving to those who pursue it. Being around the ailing and the frazzled for long hours and dealing with them patiently day after day can be challenging, to say the least.
A health assessment is a plan of care that identifies the specific needs of a person and how those needs will be addressed by the healthcare system or skilled nursing facility. Health assessment is the evaluation of the health status by performing a physical exam after taking a health history.

Title
Mindfulness Among Healthcare Professionals
Currently, cases of disrespect, stress, prejudgment, reduced concentration at work, poor conflict resolution skills, reduced resilience, reduced engagement in physical activities, and reduced expression of creative arts, among others, have increased significantly among various professionals. These actions have derailed the reputation of various professionals. They have also compromised the professionals’ deliverables, thus leaving their clients unsatisfied. This study, therefore, is specific to healthcare professionals. Healthcare is a very vital service in the life of humans, such that the people providing it must always be keen and sober when on duty. This argumentative essay will aim to teach healthcare professionals on the importance of mindfulness and how such knowledge can improve the quality of the delivery of healthcare services.
Shea (2016) states that “The present defines the future. The future builds on the foundation of the past” (15). Mindfulness has a history chronologically describing how it came about. The practice of mindfulness practice was employed in various religious and philosophical teachings such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Yoga. More recently, the practice has expanded into non-religious meditation. Mindfulness was mainly popular in the religious and spiritual communities of the East. Its spread in the Western world can only be linked to particular people and secular institutions. It is important to note that some commentators argue that the history of mindfulness should not only be confined to Buddhism and Hinduism, as the practice also has origin in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity (Shea 20). Depending on people’s thoughts, many theories can be applied to explain the history of mindfulness, leading to conflicting conclusions.
The possible arguments of the theories can be traced to its origin in the field of medicine, Christianity, and Islam. Mindfulness might indeed have been much applied in the Christian, Islam, and the medicine set up. However, at the time of this research, there existed no material pieces of evidence to support that. The available materials show that mindfulness was popularly used in Buddhism and Hinduism. The modern western world later came to learn the practice of mindfulness from the traditions of Buddhists and Hindus. Therefore, this paper will focus on mindfulness from a Buddhist and Hindu perspective. In the succeeding paragraphs, we will get to know the different mental and emotional issues that healthcare professionals struggle with, the general definition of mindful practices, specific mindful practices that may help the healthcare professionals. The paper will address any opposing arguments and, finally, offer opportunities for future research.
From the resources employed to develop this paper, there is significant evidence that shows that the increase in anxiety disorders, sleep diso ...

Restoring balance through cultural safety & the medicine wheelgriehl
North American culture sees health as an individual problem, but we live in dynamic, intercultural communities. Health is multifaceted with issues related to mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Our culture can be a barrier to caring for our clients. Each area of the medicine wheel needs to be balanced for wholistic health for the client, where the client is the person, family, group, or community. Indigenous teachings support addressing all areas of the person to achieve balance. Cultural safety stresses the importance of reflection and acceptance of differences. We should not treat everyone the same, but we do need to recognize and acknowledge our blind spots.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image
