High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a sweetener derived from corn that is commonly used in processed foods and beverages. There are several misconceptions about HFCS and how it impacts health compared to ordinary sugar. HFCS is made up of fructose and glucose, like sugar, but in slightly different ratios. Research shows the body processes HFCS and sugar similarly, and the small differences in their compositions are unlikely to meaningfully affect health. While excessive consumption of either can contribute to weight gain and related issues, moderation is more important than the source of simple sugars in one's diet. The facts suggest HFCS does not deserve its poor reputation if sugar would be consumed in its place.
The leadership gap refers to an expected shortage of healthcare leaders over the next 10 to 20 years. It is anticipated that there will not be enough people prepared to take on leadership roles in healthcare.

Concrete is made of cement, aggregates like sand and gravel, and water that provide density and strength when cured. Steel reinforcement is often added to concrete structures to increase their tensile strength and allow them to withstand greater stresses and make taller buildings possible. The two main concrete construction methods are sitecast, where concrete is poured on-site, and precast, where concrete elements are produced off-site - precast has advantages of speed and quality control but limits design flexibility.

heading)Discuss and list the different informatics competencies needed in nursing practice
(Level 2 heading)ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must
proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and
grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect
your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical
mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before
handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend
proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to
uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface.
Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to
read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to
compress it into fewer pages. Discussion: Relevance of TIGER to nursing practiceLikewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASSDiscussion
Questions (DQ)Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions
asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.Successful
responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the
discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.One or two
sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are
off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.I
encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your
responses.Weekly ParticipationYour initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count
toward participation and are graded separately.In addition to the DQ responses, you must
post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three
replies.Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite
someone else’s work).Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly
2. announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are
made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.APA Format and
Writing QualityFamiliarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is
used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student
Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation
examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA
format (if required).Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source.
Paraphrasing also requires a citation.I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual,
6th edition.Use of Direct QuotesI discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and
assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.As Masters’ level students,
it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal
articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate
an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.It is best to paraphrase
content and cite your source.LopesWrite PolicyFor assignments that need to be submitted
to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI)
percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.Once you have received your report,
please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors
that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off
for these mistakes.Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not
paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your
own?Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in
LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.Late PolicyThe university’s policy
on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ
replies.Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I
am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension
based on extenuating circumstances.If you do not communicate with me before submitting
an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.I do not accept assignments that are
two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.As per policy, no
assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after
midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for
grading.CommunicationCommunication is so very important. There are multiple ways to
communicate with me:Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course
content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your
peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.Individual Forum: This is a private
forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24
hours.Discussion: Relevance of TIGER to nursing practice
