Factors Relating to Canadian Dental Service Utilization and Access
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing factors relating to dental service utilization in Canada. While Canadians enjoy a universal health care system regulated by the Canada Health Act, dental care (except for dental surgery in hospitals) is not covered by the network of territorial and provincial health insurance plans. Because of this lack of free coverage, financial barriers are often those which prevent utilization of dental services in Canada. However, financial barriers are not the only factors preventing access to dental services. Various studies have found that dental care utilization is also affected by health and illness factors especially in the growing senior population, reluctance to seek out new dental professionals, regional access, regional and cultural beliefs regarding dentistry as preventative and not necessary care, in addition to language and cultural barriers. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Family Attendance in Emergency Medical Situations
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the ethical and medical reasons for either allowing or excluding family members during certain emergency medical situations. Emphasizes that the decision as to whether or not to allow family member attendance is really dependent on the family and the patient. While some family members obviously provide a needed support structure for the patient, and thus are beneficial in terms of their overall welfare; other family members can be more of a liability or interference in certain medical situations. Assessing which category a family member falls into becomes the responsibility of medical personnel. In no event, however, should a family member be isolated from a patient simply based on blanket organizational policy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Family Life Education in Elementary School
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page position paper that defends the role of family life education at the elementary school level, arguing that open and honest answers to all student questions concerning sexual matters serve to protect children from peer and media sexual pressure. While parents would like to protect their children from sexual messages until a later age, the truth is that children are bombarded with sexual images from television, billboards, movies and other media. Research shows that between sixth grade and junior high school, students' intentions to become sexually active increase (Price, et al, 2003). Therefore, the upper elementary grades provide an ideal time to provide a positive influence on sexual behavior by providing honest answers to sexual issues. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Family Practice Principles in the NICU
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that examines the concept of incorporating family-centered practice into the neonatal intensive care unit. The writer argues that a holistic approach to nursing chronically ill neonates demands that not only the physical condition of the babies should be considered, but also nurses should consider the impact on parents of having a sick infant. It is by considering the overall situation of the child that nursing truly considers the full effect of illness. Therefore, the needs of parents should be encompassed when addressing the overall needs of the child. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Family Systems Theory
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 pages research paper that discusses Family Systems Theory (FST), which acknowledges that the reality that the lives of individual client/patients are combined with and affected by the social systems in which they interact. These systems encompass both the family and the communities in which families exist. FST is used primarily within the context of family counseling and therapy, it has also been successfully employed in order to comprehend problems with a variety of settings, such as those faced by students. A fundamental concept in FST is that the interconnected members of a family influence each other in “predictable and recurring ways,” and these can be understood by considering “communication and interaction patterns,” as well as issues of “separateness and connectedness, loyalty and independence, and adaptation to stress in the context” within the overall framework of “the whole as opposed to the individual in isolation” (Christian, 2006).

Family Theory Applied to a Fictional Family Unit
[ send me this paper ]
A 26 page paper dissecting the family depicted in the movie “The Birdcage” for the purpose of assessing according to family and nursing theory.

Fear of Hand Sanitizer
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the use of waterless hand sanitizer and the risks it creates relative to increased bacterial resistance. The paper provides a "fear grid" resulting from asking 25 people if they see any risk in using hand sanitizers on a regular basis for general use. The individuals questioned were all students in some biology-related field, who could be expected to have some knowledge of how bacteria can be spread from one person to another as well as at least general knowledge of how adaptable bacteria are. More than half (n=14) placed the risk at level 5 or below, and only two see any significant threat. It is reasonable to assume that the general public would see even less risk.

Feminism And Postmodernism/Postculturalism: What Do They Offer Nursing Scholars Interested In Industry Power Relations?
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The extent to which feminism and postmodernism/postculturalism have an impact upon nursing scholars who are interested in industry power relations is both grand and far-reaching. That the entire nursing field has developed through the years into a critical component of overall health care speaks to the nature of strength, power, insight and tenacity inherent to the female spirit; in order for nursing scholars to combat the ever-present aspect of male-oriented power relations, it is important for the tenets of feminism and postmodernism/postculturalism to lead the way.
