Explicating a Poem
Write an Explication and Analysis of no less than 300 words of the poem The Word by Chilean author Pablo Neruda. Following the poem you’ll find a link to how to write a poetry explication, and a paragraph sample written by a student.
THE WORD
It was born
in blood, the word
grew in the dark body, beating
and flew through the lips and the mouth.
Further, and nearer
still, still it came
from dead fathers, nomadic races,
from lands made of stone,
that were tired of their wretched tribes,
because when pain set out on the way
the villages walked and arrived
and new earth and water joined again
to sow their words anew.
And so this is the legacy:
this is the air which connects us
to the dead man and the dawn
of new beings not yet woken.
The atmosphere still trembles
with the first word
formed
in panic and moans.
It rose
from the shadows
and even now no thunder
yet thunders with the clang
of that word
the first
word spoken:
perhaps it was only a sigh, a drop,
and yet its cascade falls and falls.
Then sense fills the word.
The word was made pregnant and filled with lives.
It was all births and cries:
affirmation, clarity, force,
negation, destruction, death:
the verb assumed all those powers
and merged existence and essence
in the electricity of her beauty.
Word, human, syllabic, pelvis
of wide light and solid silver,
hereditary cup that receives
the communication of blood:
here is where silence was fused
in the total human word
and not to speak is to be dying among beings:
language springs from the roots of the hair,
the mouth talks without the lips moving:
the eyes of a sudden are words.
I take the word and traverse it
as if it were solely human form,
its lineaments delight me and I fly
through each resonance of language:
I pronounce and I am and I reach without speech
the silence at the end of words.
I drink to the word, lifting
a word or a glass of crystal,
in it I drink
the wine of language
or the interminable waters
maternal fount of words,
and glass and water and wine
originate my song
because the verb is the origin
and the living channel: it is blood
the blood that speaks its substance
and so is ready to flow:
giving crystal to crystal, blood to blood
and giving life to life, the words.

Globally Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects around 8% to 20% of women during their years according to diagnostic criteria (Singh et al., 2023). The prevalence varies across populations due, to environmental factors.
Pathophysiology
The underlying mechanisms of PCOS involve metabolic disruptions mainly characterized by levels of androgens and insulin. Increased androgen levels originating from the ovaries and adrenal glands result in symptoms such as hair growth (hirsutism) and acne while disturbing ovarian function (Witchel et al., 2019). Imbalances in the ovarian axis worsen excess androgen production, influenced by genetic factors affecting steroid production. Additionally, insulin resistance contributes to insulin levels, which in turn stimulate androgen production and lower sex hormone binding globulin levels intensifying the effects of androgens.
Clinical Presentation
Common symptoms include cycles, hirsutism, acne, weight gain and difficulty conceiving. Long term implications involve metabolic issues, like diabetes, abnormal lipid levels and cardiovascular problems (Bulsara et al., 2021).
Diagnostic Criteria
To diagnose syndrome (PCOS) healthcare providers consider various criteria outlined by the Rotterdam ESHRE/ASRM Sponsored PCOS Consensus Workshop Group in 2004. These criteria involve the presence of two out of three key features; hyperandrogenism (HA) ovulatory dysfunction (OD) and polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) observable on ultrasound scans. The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society (AE PCOS) criteria also consider hyperandrogenism and ovarian dysfunction for diagnosis. Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) plays a role as an indicator in PCOS reflecting the maturation and development of ovarian follicles. Elevated levels of AMH can hinder development contributing to the dysfunction commonly seen in PCOS cases.
Non-Drug Treatment Approaches
For women with PCOS lifestyle modifications are fundamental in managing the condition alongside medication. Engaging in activity is vital as it improves insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health. Including both aerobic exercise and resistance training in routines has been shown to enhance insulin sensitivity and regulate androgen levels. Following glycemic index (LGI) diets that’re high in fiber and plant-based fats can provide metabolic benefits by helping to regulate glucose levels and hormones that control appetite.
It’s important to steer diets that’re high in calories, sugar and saturated fats to help reduce inflammation and insulin resistance linked to PCOS (Singh et al., 2023).
Pharmacological Management
Oral contraceptives (OCPs), including both progesterone-only pills and combined estrogen-progesterone pills, serve as first-line therapy for menstrual irregularities and ovulation suppression (Bulsara et al., 2021). Antiandrogens such as spironolactone, flutamide, and cyproterone acetate are preferred for managing hirsutism. Insulin sensitizers like metformin improve insulin resistance and restore menstrual regularity, while thiazolidinediones (TZDs) offer additional benefits in improving ovulation and reducing androgen levels (Bulsara et al., 2021).
Education
Patient education on lifestyle modifications, contraception, and long-term health risks is crucial. Encourage adherence to treatment and regular follow-ups.
Follow-up
Regular monitoring of menstrual cycles, androgen levels, and metabolic parameters is essential. Adjust management strategies based on patient response and goals.

Regulatory restrictions are one of the barriers that have impacted the progress of advanced nursing. Regulations regarding the scope of practice and licensure differ across the states and regions in the U.S. It is necessary to establish uniform standards for education and regulations (Lowe et al., 2012). Furthermore, approximately one-third of the country has fully authorized NPs to practice law and be licensed, whereas the other states have limited or restricted licensure and practice options (Hein & Fleck, 2014). The disparities in state regulations could impede access to healthcare. One strategy that can help combat this particular barrier is advocating for state legislative reforms and policies that allow advanced nurses to practice fully. Advanced practice nurses and associated organizations can also advocate for standardized licensure and practice regulations across all states.
The second barrier that has reduced the progress of advanced practice nursing is the need for interprofessional collaboration. While enhancing patient outcomes is a shared aim between physicians and NPs, there are obstacles to their successful cooperation (Hein & Fleck, 2014). Successful collaboration is hampered by a need for more understanding of NPs’ scope of practice (Hein & Fleck, 2014). Lack of collaboration among the interdisciplinary team, which often includes both advanced practice nurses and physicians, frequently harms a patient’s health outcome. Strategies such as developing educational programs and campaigns to raise healthcare professionals’ understanding of their mutual roles and responsibilities can help overcome the lack of collaboration among advanced practice nurses and physicians. Establishing and initiating collaborative care models that clearly outline each healthcare professional’s duties and obligations is another strategy that can aid in combating this barrier.
The third barrier mentioned that has slowed down the progress of advanced practice nursing is reimbursement challenges. NPs are frequently not recognized as primary care providers by commercial health plan payment regulations, which might vary (Hein & Fleck, 2014). Additionally, these payers may be reluctant to pay NPs for their services directly or to credential them (Hein & Fleck, 2014). For advanced practice nurses, reimbursement is crucial because it impacts their capacity to work autonomously. Financial impediments to practice may result from reimbursement systems that favor services rendered by physicians over those rendered by advanced practice nurses. Strategies that can help overcome reimbursement challenges include creating or participating in collaborative campaigns that advocate for changes in reimbursement regulations to guarantee fair compensation for the services rendered by advanced practice nurses.
Although advanced practice nursing has evolved, many barriers continue to exist. Barriers such as regulatory restrictions, lack of interprofessional collaboration, and reimbursement challenges have slowed the progress of advanced practice nursing. Strategies to help overcome such barriers include advocating for state legislative reforms and policies, establishing and initiating collaborative care models with clear roles, and creating or participating in collaborative campaigns that advocate for changes in reimbursement regulations.

Purnell Model for Cultural Competence
Overview
The present-day healthcare landscape is characterized by multiculturalism and diversity, which underscores the importance of leveraging strategies to foster cultural competence to avoid disparities in care provision. The importance of healthcare practitioners providing culturally competent care, hence improved care cannot be overstated. Cultural competence broadly encompasses developing an awareness and understanding of one’s and other’s cultures, accepting and respecting cultural differences, and resisting judgmental attitudes (Purnell, 2020). It also involves being open to cultural encounters and adapting care to be congruent with a client’s culture. Purnell model is a widely recognized and leveraged organizing framework that provides a comprehensive and holistic approach to understanding and integrating cultural competence in the healthcare domain. It has the potential to be used by distinct healthcare providers, with unmatched effectiveness as evidenced by the improved ability to provide culturally congruent healthcare services. Note that the model aims to optimize the quality of healthcare services provided, and overall healthcare outcomes. It has been shown to promote sensitive interactions between healthcare practitioners and individuals from different cultures.
The model embeds distinct domains that aid in the assessment of cultural attributes of an individual, family, or group, and their impact on health and healthcare. Based on an assessment of the domains, the importance of understanding an individual’s cultural background, the different communication styles, the roles and dynamics of an individual’s family, and promoting cultural diversity and sensitivity has been emphasized. Besides, the domains seek to enable individuals to better understand cultural attitudes and practices during pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum care, ways culture influences an individual’s spiritual beliefs and practices, the cultural perspectives that affect an individual’s attitudes towards care, and the importance of healthcare practitioners developing cultural competence subsequently adapting their practices to meet the needs and preferences of diverse population groups (Purnell, 2020). As earlier noted, effective use of this model positively impacts healthcare processes and outcomes by fostering trust and understanding between patients and healthcare providers.
How the Model can Help One to Apply the Transcultural Concepts Learned to:
Clinical Practice
Practitioners can use the model to conduct a comprehensive assessment of an individual to aid in understanding their presenting beliefs, values, and practices. This can, in turn, be used to tailor culturally competent care plans (Rukadikar et al., 2022). Nurse practitioners can build rapport with patients before providing them with patient-centered care.
Nursing Education
Purnell model can be integrated into the nursing curriculum to help students learn about the distinct cultural factors that influence health. According to Rukadikar et al. (2022), this could involve developing simulation exercises that challenge learners to employ the model to gain a better understanding of real-world situations.
Nursing Administration
The model can be integrated into staff training programs for healthcare practitioners as a basis for enhancing their ability to provide equitable and respectful care to diverse patient populations. Cultural competence principles can also be integrated into organizational policies to streamline processes.
Nursing Research
The model can be used to promote evidence-based practice through research, for instance, in investigating cultural disparities in health outcomes, leading to a more nuanced understanding of ways culture can contribute to health disparities, and subsequently informing interventions. This could involve investigating multiple domains to identify specific cultural factors that impact health and well-being thereby designing appropriate interventions.
UNLV 2 short peer review answer (

very casual writing, based on personal opinion
1) Operators now face a challenging situation due to the complexities between state and federal laws around cannabis legalization, especially in areas where following rules is crucial, including hospitality and gambling. There are additional levels of complication and uncertainty due to the clash between the federal classification of marijuana as a controlled narcotic and the many state-level legalization initiatives.
The position adopted by regulating agencies, including Nevada’s Gaming Control Board, is indicative of the balance in negotiating these complicated regulations. The strict ban on gaming license holders taking part in state medical marijuana programs, without a change in federal law, emphasizes the regulatory authorities’ dedication to maintaining current national standards despite state laws that are constantly changing.
Businesses like Colorado’s Sky Ute Casino have shown practicality in removing marijuana-related pre-employment tests, indicating a need to adjust to the current reality. This action recognizes that it can be challenging to recruit skilled workers who can pass standard drug tests, especially in areas where marijuana use is legal.
Updates to the law, like Nevada’s Assembly Bill 533, indicate a deliberate effort to bring cannabis laws closer to the gaming industry. Establishing specialized commissions signifies that tensions between these two changing sectors must be addressed and harmonized.
The traditionally strict position taken by the Gaming Control Board demonstrates a dedication to keeping a distinct division between the gaming and cannabis businesses. The decision to deny gaming licenses to those operating cannabis businesses highlights how important it is to protect the integrity of the gaming sector, even if it means being firm about possible conflicts.
Another layer of complexity is the impact of money laundering concerns on the division of the casino and cannabis businesses. The regulatory authorities have adopted a cautious stance, which is reflected in the increased monitoring of funding sources, particularly those associated with the cannabis industry.
The advice for operators to uphold a drug-free workplace culture compliant with state and federal legislation is a sensible and essential step in navigating this complicated legal landscape. A strategy designed to tackle the obstacles presented by the changing legal landscape must include regular assessments, legal compliance audits, and remaining up-to-date on advancements in cannabis law. Enforcing these regulations and providing managers with comprehensive training is essential for guaranteeing equitable and efficient handling of issues about employee cannabis use.
2-3 sentences of feedback on this
2) I agree that a flexible strategy is vital to handle the sophisticated regulations in the casino industry. Marijuana laws are changing rapidly, and even if they become legal nationwide, the decision to eliminate pre-employment testing for marijuana should be made after careful consideration of all relevant factors. In this discussion, my top priority is guest and employee safety, and my second priority is the employee’s ability to perform the job if they use any addictive substances. I would rather not 100% eliminate pre-employment testing for marijuana, but I will set a standard threshold limit for an acceptable amount of marijuana to ensure employees will not be impaired at work. I may also set up workplace impairment policies and communicate clearly with every employee about expectations and consequences. This approach will focus on employees’ ability to perform their jobs effectively rather than their off-duty activities.

Mr. J.R. is a 73-year-old man, who was admitted to the hospital with clinical manifestations of gastroenteritis and possible renal injury. The patient’s chief complaints are fever, nausea with vomiting and diarrhea for 48 hours, weakness, dizziness, and a bothersome metallic taste in the mouth. The patient is pale and sweaty. He had been well until two days ago, when he began to experience severe nausea several hours after eating two burritos for supper. The burritos had been ordered from a local fast-food restaurant. The nausea persisted and he vomited twice with some relief. As the evening progressed, he continued to feel “very bad” and took some Pepto-Bismol to help settle his stomach. Soon thereafter, he began to feel achy and warm. His temperature at the time was 100. 5°F. He has continued to experience nausea, vomiting, and a fever. He has not been able to tolerate any solid foods or liquids. Since yesterday, he has had 5–6 watery bowel movements. He has not noticed any blood in the stools. His wife brought him to the ER because he was becoming weak and dizzy when he tried to stand up. His wife denies any recent travel, use of antibiotics, laxatives, or excessive caffeine, or that her husband has an eating disorder.

My web article topic:
My persuasion article, based on my previous submissions, is about how individual differences in personality and experiences influence a person’s dream content. My purpose of this persuasive article is to push this information and evidence forward so more people will believe in this statement. I hypothesized that a person’s dreams directly correlate to their personality and what they have gone through and experienced in their lifetime. I will price this to an audience with evidence and persuasive writing techniques. This is the thesis I decided on because it leaves a side for people to argue against my findings and use evidence and other opinions to combat the claim I made. People may hypothesize against me and argue that dream content may correlate with different things, such as medications, anxiety, emotions, sleep patterns, or some may argue even external temperature. Based on my findings I believe in my previously stated hypothesis that it is the most affective way to predict dream content. I will include graphics of both people dreaming/sleeping in peace, paired with different charts and graphs that prove my thesis correct. I want to share this information in a persuasive manner by stacking evidence to sway the audience into backing me and believing that the most affective and prominent deciding factor of dream content is based on personality. I want to remain formal to show scientific proof of my thesis in a manner that influences people to believe in expert analysis.
This assignment asks you to lay out some ideas for your web article. If you are still stuck or unsure about how you’ll approach your article, it is okay to use this assignment to explore a couple possibilities or start planning an idea that you’re still figuring out how to approach. As always, it is better to submit something on time that is a little unpolished than it is to turn in nothing because you’re worried it is not good enough.
Step 1: Explain
Discuss your purpose and audience:What do you hope to accomplish with your web article? Are you trying to persuade your audience to change their behavior? Take action? Argue in favor of a particular solution? And who is this argument is directed to? Be as specific as you’re able to with your audience — since you’re writing persuasively you should think about who you’re hoping to persuade, to take action based on your argument. Take some time to explain why you have decided on this purpose and what you really want to say.
Step 2: Draft
Provide me with a short draft of your report – at least 300 words (between 1/3 and 1/2 of the final draft). This can be of any section of your report but it should be as well written as you can make it. I want to be able to comment meaningfully on it and understand the direction you are headed in.
