Susan Pfeffer’s story “Ashes” teaches a lesson about how trust is decided on past, not relationships. Ashleigh, “Ashes”, with divorced parents, talks about how when she is with her dad, the sun shines just a little bit brighter, but according to her mother, he is just an “irresponsible bum”. Ashes was a nickname her father gave her, which her mother hates. Ashes, says that her father hardly ever keeps a promise, such as when she was a kid, he told her that the stars were her necklace. One lesson the story suggests is that parent-child relationships can quickly change, depending on the choices they make.…
The animal that most resembles us is the ape. At the zoo, it is easy to observe behavioral and facial expressions in monkeys and apes that are very much similar to our own. A group of apes could very well seem like a family. A mother taking care of her young may seem familiar to the human onlooker. This is because the ape is our closest living relative. In the documentary Primate Behavior, anthropologists observe the behavior of monkeys and primates. The primates are mostly observed in the wild, as they are better understood while placed in a natural setting. This is where the social structure of the primate can really be interpreted.…

In his article, Kentucky Town of Manchester Illustrates National Obesity Crisis, Wil Haygood talks about the obesity problem among the people of Manchester Kentucky. Haygood observes that Manchester is one of the unhealthiest places in Kentucky. However, the people of Manchester are far from eager to discuss or even acknowledge this problem. Haygood places much of the blame for the obesity problem on the local people being uneducated about the risks being obese can pose to their health, an abundance of fast food restaurants, and a lack of recreational venues. I believe that Haygood made many good and accurate observations in his article, because being from a small town similar to, and not very far from Manchester, I share many of his concerns for the people in my community.…

Obesity has been on the rise in America for some time- due in large part to our country’s lack of focus on the importance of healthy diet and exercise. In the last 20 years, obesity rates have increased from 15.0 percent to 32.9 percent (Department of Health and Human Services- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008). When obesity reaches extreme levels, it is referred to as Morbid Obesity; meaning, the person or persons have reached a weight that is potentially fatal. There are many health conditions associated with Morbid Obesity, such as sleep apnea, hypertension, fatty liver disease, gout, diabetes, or gynecological problems in women. Someone who is morbidly obese is much more likely to develop some or all of these conditions. Take for example patient A, a young woman who was an average weight throughout most of her life. This patient gained approximately 100 pounds during a pregnancy, and has “yo-yoed" up and down since then, ending up more than 140 pounds above her ideal weight. Since the weight gain, this patient has been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and gallbladder disease, and has suffered reproductive challenges as well. Although it is possible that the sleep apnea was a pre-existing condition, it is certain that her weight has not helped the situation.…
According to Hersen and Beidel (2012), BED may be genetic. It would be helpful to know if anyone in Andrea's family fits the criteria for an eating disorder. There are also many other co-occurring medical problems that result from obesity. An assessment would provide information about whether Andrea has any of these biological/medical issues.…
While Maria has been working around the clock and walking an hour daily to campus, there might be something more to the pounds addition. As a nurse, additional information that would be important to gather from Maria is to ask her if she is under stress. The reason why I would ask Maria this question is because “stress is linked to weight gain since a high degree of the stress hormone cortisol has been proved to increase appetite, cause junk food cravings, and make it so much easy to accumulate fat in the belly” (Sass, 2014).…
