Health Reflection Paper

Obesity was significantly more prevalent amongst female African Americans in this community. With the highest rate affecting women between the ages of 45 to 64. Obesity was also higher amongst Black females who’s educational attainment was lower

After reviewing this article, I have determined that the dimensions of health involved with this issue are physical, environmental, and intellectual. For starters, this issue affects a person's physical health because it causes the body to deteriorate until eventually the person dies. Those who become addicted fail to take proper care of their body with healthy products but rather ingest harmful ones. Another dimension involved is environmental because depending where a person lives will depend how accessible these painkillers are. In an area where a doctor over prescribes painkillers, or people illegally sell painkillers, there should be a higher addiction rate because painkillers are easier to obtain. The final dimension involved

The purpose of this paper is to identify one health problem that is most prevalent in my community. Residential demographic information will be provided. I will use Milio's framework for prevention to analyze this health problem. Then, compare the health problem to Healthy People 2020 national goals. Lastly, I will introduce one long term goal and three short term goals with their interventions.

Mr. Estroga beginning receiving home health services about 2 years ago due to a wound in his foot. Shortly after Mr. Estoga lost his toes, and both his legs were amputated. Rebecca was able to treat and care for the wound. Mr. Estroga is now utilizing skilled nursing services to help with his medication management. According to Rebecca, Mr. Estroga is incapable of giving medications, giving insulin shots and filling syringes. Mr. Estroga does now have pre filled insulin shots, but he does require help from Mrs. Estroga to properly give the shots.

One thing I did not like about the Student Health 101 website was the titles of the articles and the overall layout of the website. I felt the website did not look like a school related website, but a website that looks like it is going to be filled with pop-up ads. I also felt the titles of the articles were very click-bait like one of the articles was titled “5 things you didn’t know about vaping” and looked like something you would see at the bottom of webpages as advertisements. I did not feel the website had a very professional feel to it. However, when I actually clicked on some of the articles I found the content to be very easy to read and useful.

By taking the wellness inventory I have discovered things about myself, some were new and others I have known for quite some time. For example, I knew that my intellectual wellness would be high because I love to learn about different things and I consistently ask questions about things I am not familiar with. In addition, I knew that my social wellness would be high as well because I enjoy talking to people who come from backgrounds both similar and different than my own. I also have a very broad network of people who are close to me because I am a compassionate person who always tries to go out of my way to communicate with others.

Becoming injured in and of itself is difficult to contend with: The last thing an individual wants to do is travel from one area of South Florida to the next to receive the medical care they need as they move through the recovery process. For this reason, we strive to provide our patients with as many

I was in a car accident 28 years ago, that caused multiple neck fractures, scar tissue, and adhesion's from head to toe. I had lost over 3 inches in height. My left leg was inches longer than my right and I had a large dowagers hump. My pain was unbearable at times. 21 years ago I was recommended to Lynn VanNorman. Lynn's work was skillful, compassionate, and as gentle as possible given my injuries. After years of therapy in which Lynn was a very powerful part of a 3 fold team I recovered enough to begin to think of going back to employment. I was truly inspired by Lynn's work throughout my recovery. Lynn encouraged me to become a therapeutic body worker and offered to train me if I did. I took her up on her generous offer and have

When it comes to health fixes, it is easy and revolutionary to take the easier route and nourish the human body from a pharmaceutical standpoint (think magic diet pills) rather than manipulating the abundant resources planet earth brings forth. In chemistry there are elements that are vital for both humans and plants. This indispensable and nourishing element that both humans and plants need is magnesium. Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the fourth most abundant element in the human body. This particular element plays an imperative role in the human wellbeing. This essential element is the earth’s natural human health fix.

Even before this assignment was introduced, I was fully aware that this class was to be mainly focused on community health promotions and the importance of it. I was aware that we were going to learn about the fundamentals of health promotion and how it was done in different parts of the world. But what I wasn’t aware of was that the entire class was to partake in promoting good health in our own community via the Health Fair! When the assignment was first introduced, my initial thinking was that working in groups was something I personally never really favored in the past. Then there was the actual interaction with the community, specifically those who are at the flea market. I have been to the flea market before and I was

The competency, “Analyze determinants of health and disease using an ecological framework” was met through the exercise, “Health Problem Analysis Worksheet” and through reading Chapter 2 in the book Public Health: What it is and How it Works.

That feeling of walking back from an exam or staying up all night cramming information is well known to any student who has been through college. It leaves one feeling overwhelmed like the week will never end. The feelings are held inside while friends and roommates accuse moodiness which leads to the meltdown that is inevitable. These times are a result of a common state known as stress. Stress is a condition in which the body responds to any kind of demand or threat caused by life factors which include pressure, work, school, major changes, and lack of sleep. This factor is very common in colleges, especially freshmen and can also be seen here at Trine University. Stress can affect both physical and mental conditions in the body, such as sleep patterns, eating habits, anxiety,

Throughout this complete health assessment, I will approach my patient, a 49 years old, female, married patient, and perform a head to toe examination. Starting with the gathering of information, I will start with biographic data, reason for seeking care, present illness, past health history, family history, functional assessment, perception of health, head to toe examination, and baseline measurements. The subjective data will be collected first, where the patient will provide necessary information about every organ system for further examination while the objective data will be amassed in every system based on my findings. This assignment serves as an opportunity to establish a nurse-client interpersonal relationship that

Health is such an important factor of our daily lives. Everything we do affects our health, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The question that someone may ask themselves is whether individual behavior is more effective in promoting health or is the structure of the world more effective in promoting health. This topic plays an important role in psychology and is controversial.
