Health Fair Reflection
The health fair was a great experience not only for the public, but also for all the nursing students. We all learned new things, especially the people that had no idea what BMI was, and we encountered old classmates along the way. Each member did their assigned work plus more, which was shown in the health fair presentation. Some members of the team brought activities and snacks that were related to the BMI presentation for the public to enjoy as they illustrated their minds with knowledge of BMI and related factors. The most interesting contribution that I did was teaching/educating the public about BMI and related benefits and complications of given BMI values.

    The New White Man's Burden Summary

    In the article "The New White Man's Burden," Anthony Arnove talks about the parallels between the United States reason for the current war in Iraq and the United States occupation of the Philippines in 1898. The author draws theses parallels because he wants the reader to see for themselves how similar the experience in Iraq was played out to how the experience in the Philippines was played out. The main point that Anthony Arnove is making is that the government today is trying to do the same kind of things it was trying to do a hundred years ago.…

    The experience I gained from doing the Service Learning was eye-opening. It gave me a chance to realize how ground-breaking this project we're doing is necessary. Because this is not just about coming to a meeting and confessing what's on their mind. This is about giving diabetics a second chance of life to live healthy lives and have fun. Also, to shake up the medical community and let the public know about Diabetes and how to prevent it.…

    Public Health/community appraisal

    When public health officials want to assess and survey the needs of a community, they use Rapid Participatory Appraisal. It is “rapid” that the exercise can be done in a relatively short time frame (Brown et al, 2006). This means the involvement of the local community cooperation and individual participation to facilitate community action ( Walley & Wright, P. 40) This method provide a very usual information about health-related needs as to how to make improvements, by providing timely, relevant information, and the planning needs within the community. Therefore, it very important to put in to account the social, economic and cultural needs that will facilitated the traditional methods of assessment with health promotional needs which can be attainable through intervention and evaluation Brown, Lloyd, Murray (2006). The assessor support the community action not just recording the information, which means the appraisals is used to develop programs like nutritional need, health services needs and determine disease prevalence for the community and the resources that is needed to provide those benefits ( Walley & Wright, P. 40). For example to questionnaire survey in the cholera prevention in Sierra Leone in Capital slums areas is; how you had about the cholera outbreak? Do you have any of your family or friends experiencing diarrhea signs for more than 24 hours period? How can you catch cholera? Do you know the cure for cholera? If from drinking water which water is safe to drink? And how soon can you take your love one to the health center or hospital treatment? This is an example of community appraisal conducted.…

    Service Learning Team Reflection

    It may sound cliché, but as John Maxwell says, “it takes teamwork to make a dream work”. Each member of the team was responsible for bringing in positive energy and engaging their clients in different upbeat, physical activities. We learned to set a good example to others and guide them on a road to a healthier lifestyle through hard work, motivation, and fun. We took what we learned in the classroom and utilized our knowledge in the “real world.” For example, we made professional boundaries and put the client first in our care. We took the time to form a relationship with our clients to help them feel comfortable and show that we care for their overall well-being. We learned that the amount of effort you put into helping these clients, the better experience it is for them. This was a project where what you put in is what you will get out of it, and as future health care providers, this was an experience that we will never…

The functional abilities of the patient are selected based on the assessment.

Gordon’s health patterns are categorized into 11 possible approaches to collect data and assist the nurse to determine aspects of health and human function. Its intension is to assist with utilizing the nursing process. The functional health patterns categories capture the holistic, spiritual, emotional and social aspects of the whole person.…

    Health Assessment

    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 will help identify the patient’s individual needs and concerns to build a nursing diagnosis, care plan, interventions, and then evaluate results to treatment implementations.…
