Eating Disorders: Female Verses Male Victims
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the environmental and genetic causes of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. While it is an established belief that eating disorders are more likely to affect females than males, both sexes are affected. The reasons undoubtedly relate to genetics as well as to environmental factors. These reason also could be expected, however, to relate to the limited understanding of eating disorders. Interestingly, as our knowledge of this condition increases so too do the statistics regarding its manifestation in males. While the primary victim of eating disorders still appears to be females, there is undoubtedly some intersex overlap in the factors causing the condition. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Education And Senior Centers
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Despite what many people believe, the elderly do not stop learning just because they are old. Indeed, this particular time of life needs the mentally stimulating benefits of daily education, even if it is nothing more finishing a crossword puzzle or learning a new language. The extent to which education is a critical component to a fulfilling older life is both grand and far-reaching; while there is a considerable variance in the level of education any given senior can absorb, every little bit of knowledge taken into the brain serves to strengthen the individual's cognitive fitness. Senior centers have the capacity for being one of the best and most applicable places for educational enlightenment, however, many operate more as a baby sitter environment where their idea of stimulating the mind is nothing more than cards, board games, television and food. This reality will become obsolete quite soon as the upcoming generation of elderly will demand choices that actually teach them something. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Education Needs Assessment: Use of Restraints
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the need for an in-house short course program addressing the use of physical and chemical restraints of elderly nursing home residents.

The use of restraints both supports and contradicts the ethical principles of autonomy and beneficence, and an in-service refresher can serve to reconcile that contradiction. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Education Program Proposal
[ send me this paper ]
A 22 page paper presenting the full proposal for an innovation program at a large hospital.

Outgrowth of the program will include greater patient education for better self-management of their diabetes. The paper includes sections addressing implementation and evaluation. Bibliography lists 22 sources.

Effects of Stress
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines stress. Stress experience exists for “all human beings in all ages in varying degrees” (Lunney, 2006). It can be positive or negative producing both positive and negative effects. What is thought of as “stress” in the public mindset is actually stress overload, that is, which is what occurs when negative stressors become excessive. As established by Selye in the 1950s, this can produce “fight-or-flight response,” which if prolonged can lead to psychological and/or physical illness (Lunney, 2006). As this suggests, this topic is of particular interest to nursing because excessive stress has become so pervasive in contemporary society. Examination of literature pertaining to excessive stress reveals the physiological mechanisms that are triggered by stress, their effects both physically and psychologically, as well as suggests nursing interventions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ehrenreich And English's "Witches, Midwives, And Nurses: A History Of Women Healers"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The topic of this book evokes a sense of patriarchal control and unmitigated ignorance with regard to the 'science' of medicine and how it has evolved during the past few hundred years. Women's contributions, disregarded and shunned until very recently, have historically been overshadowed by oppressive patriarchal perspectives; by chronicling the events that have occurred throughout the centuries in relation to women and the medical community, Ehrenreich and English help to illustrate just how despotic the entire male-based medical profession has been, particularly in light of the unpleasant legacy left by the witch hunts of old. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
