A large number of older adults misuse alcohol, prescription drugs, or other substances, and this number is growing bigger. It has been estimated that almost one in every five older Americans drink alcohol or use medications unsafely. For some older people, any alcohol use can be a problem. It depends on how their bodies respond to alcohol, the medications you may be taking, your current health, their medical and family history histories, and other factors.

  • Discuss how you will monitor for misuse of alcohol, prescription drugs, and others substances in your geriatric clients.
  • Identify at least 5 evidence-based references to support your plan.

Caring for an elderly family member can be overwhelming for families. If the stress of caregiving is left unchecked, it can take a toll on the caregiver’s health, relationships, and state of mind—eventually leading to burnout. Families may often be faced with a serious decision concerning the care of their loved ones.

  • Discuss strategies that are proven to help families deal with caregiver stress and burnout.
  • How can you assist them in making decisions about the care of their loved ones?
  • Include a discussion on handling advance directives with families.
  • Document your discussion with at least five evidence-based references on the topics.

6.5. Forum 3: Evolutionary Forces

Question Description

This week’s discussion topic deals with the four forces of evolution discussed in Chap. 4. In this forum, you will answer one of the following questions, depending on your last name. Remember to respond to 2 posts as well, in order to get full credit. You can respond to student posts for any of the questions, not just the one you answered.

Discussion Question : The TV series, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” takes place in the fictional Republic of Gilead (formerly the USA). Here, widespread infertility causes reproduction to be limited to a small group of women, who are forced to bear children for a select group of powerful men. What types of genetic changes might potentially result from this restricted gene pool? Which evolutionary force would be primarily responsible for the changes in gene frequencies? Do you think genetic diversity would increase or decrease, and would the effects be beneficial or negative for that society over the long term?



Is our education system serving scientific thought and the creation of new scientists and scientific discovery?

Question Description

As you have been witnessing, historically science has been an elite road traveled by the rich, religious leaders, and the privately educated. Today, we are seeing a movement in STEM and STEAM to promote scientific endeavors in the public school system and in the community. In fact, you have just finished a community based science project. Your job is to compare and contrast the ways in which science was disseminated throughout the culture in the renaissance to today. Your ultimate question to answer is… Is our education system serving scientific thought and the creation of new scientists and scientific discovery?

Hint: You may wish to look at what STEM and STEAM programs are and what the NGSS standards are for public education.

Requirements:

  1. Four different sources using APA citation
  2. A minimum of 500 words
  3. A complete thesis statement

The following Discussion Prompt is designed to get students to think about and reflect on the concept of Whiteness and where it comes from, together with the language we use to talk about white identity.

Instructions:

In this post all students should provide a specific example from Chapters 5 & 6 in the RACE book to answer the following questions:

1) What do the authors mean when they say “Like all other categories ‘white’ was created by those in power and contested by those who were not” (p. 44)?

2) According to the authors what is wrong with using the term Caucasian? (see p. 59-63)

In 250-300 words answer these questions using specific examples from the chapters. As previously, feel free to focus your discussion on concepts or ideas that you find “muddy” or confusing.
