Abstract

African American (AA) males have disproportionately high HIV incidence and prevalence. A review was conducted on the risk and protective factors, consequences, and interventions related to HIV among AA males. Particular focus was given on the role of attitudes in shaping HIV prevention through condom use. Attitudes were found to be influenced by individual attributes such as age, gender, type of community, socioeconomic status, self-efficacy, and knowledge. There are also partner-related factors and factors arising from cultural and social norms. Social institutions such as the church, family, community, and the health care system can further have a positive or Continue reading...

INVOLUNTARY STERILIZATION

Abstract
Sterilization includes the administration of the surgical contraception methods like vasectomy, hysterectomy, and tubal litigation to limit a person’s capacity to have children. There are several forms of sterilization namely voluntary, involuntary, and compulsory. Compulsory sterilization is required by the law while voluntary sterilization occurs when a person intentionally agrees to undergo the process. Involuntary sterilization occurs when a person lacks the capacity to consent to the sterilization procedure. However, this paper will identify whether involuntary sterilization should be used to reduce child abuse cases in the U.S and whether the government should fund the procedures as Continue reading...

Nursing Problem

In the year 2012 alone, upwards of 305,388 were born to mothers aged between 15 and 19 years, representing a birth rate of 29.4/1000 women. While teen birth rates have been declining over the last few years, the rates remain high and represent a major nursing problem for a number of reasons. Firstly, teen pregnancy (along with the associated sexually transmitted diseases and teen parenthood), is higher in the US relative to other industrialized countries (Kohler, Manhart, & Lafferty, 2008; Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). While it appears that there’s little difference in the rate of Continue reading...

Abstract.

Teenage pregnancies and abortion increased rates compared to other developed nations, remain a major public health concern in the United States. There have been initiatives by government agencies like CDC and the Department of Public Health in the reduction of pregnancy rates in women and girls between 15 to 19 years. However, information from the National Center for Health Statistics indicate that more than 600000 teenagers become pregnant every year (Secura et al., 2014). Approximately one-third of teenagers become pregnant before they reach the age of twenty. Hispanic and black teenagers are the most affected with two-fifths of the Continue reading...

Capstone Project Milestone #1

My clinical problem is about infection control and how the role of sterilization and disinfection are crucial for ensuring that surgical and medical instruments do not transmit infectious pathogens to patients. In my practice, I have noticed that conventional medical instruments, such as stethoscopes, are regularly used for patients without adequate disinfection. This topic of interest to me because infection control is a visible issue in every sector of health care and must be addressed to maintain patient safety. Improper sterilization of hands and stethoscopes can result in the transmission of harmful micro-organisms. Non-compliance is most often reported as Continue reading...

Over the years, the nature of sex education in our schools has changed quite radically, but a controversy between approaches still rages on. It probably all began with a scientific (and short) discussion of the birds and the bees, perhaps in a biology class—or no discussion at all--and it has evolved into the offering, in some states, of in-depth comprehensive sexuality classes wherein pleasure, desire, and emotions are addressed, along with birth control, homosexuality, and the avoidance of STD’s and HIV/AIDS. The teaching of total abstinence until marriage is still very prevalent too, though this approach has Continue reading...

Abortion is a controversial issue in today’s world. This is because of the many arguments for and against the practice. The issue has so much controversy because it is a human rights concern. The major debate revolves around the morality of killing a fetus. Those against the practice assert that if a fetus has the status of a person, it has the right to life and abortion cannot be treated as permissible. Pro-abortion arguments point to the right of a woman to make a choice on whether or not to have a baby. It is her right to Continue reading...

Abstract

The HIV/AIDS prevention and control program Brazil has drawn the attention of the whole world. Wealthy nations such as the USA are contemplating of borrowing a leaf from Brazil following the success that has been registered there. Brazil has managed to reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS through a number of approaches. They include free access to anti-retroviral drugs, free condom distribution, media campaigns, counseling, and reduction of stigma. This success has been realized because of a solid political will, as well as the government’s collaboration with non-governmental organizations. This paper evaluates what Brazil has done right, and what Continue reading...

1. Introduction
Like many contemporary ethical dilemmas, the question of who owns a frozen embryo arises as an unintended consequence of a technological advance. As in vitro fertilization (IVF), developed in 1987, came within the technical and financial reach of more and more couples, the number of frozen embryos stored in fertility clinics skyrocketed. According to the RAND Corporation, as of April 11, 2002, there was a total of 396,526 frozen embryos being stored in the United States. No one is entirely sure how many there are today, but some sources estimate that they number over 500,000 ( Continue reading...

Brazilian and Haitian cultures represent diverse, bright, and highly religious communities with high inequality levels in different aspects. Despite similarities, every culture is a separate bubble with distinctive beliefs, values and attitudes. Sexual behavior and sexual attitudes within the culture may also differ even in cultures that profess the same religion and have similar relationships with each other. In the final project, we have examined that both Brazilian and Haitian cultures are the representatives of collectivistic societies, which implies strong family ties and close connections within community, which, in turn, may also provide the foundation for the sexual behavior Continue reading...

As we remember their struggle for resources has caused the colossal carnage and destruction of dozens of countries. Thus, the problem of the growth of the world population and the overpopulation of Earth is one of the Continue reading...

Change Model Overview

Step 1: EBP Question
Under the study, the problem is the transmission of infectious pathogens through the use of stethoscopes in the inpatient setting. According to Mehta, et al., (2010), since Stethoscopes are one of the often used medical devices; they become more contaminated compared to other devices hence hosting vast pathogenic bacteria. The notion attached to the high number of cases recorded; there depicts need for implementing the proposed intervention where use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers to "simultaneously" cleanse the hands and stethoscope head is recommended. Such undertaking aim at averting stethoscope based transmission of pathogens causing disease Continue reading...

Introduction

Background Information
The controversy considering abortion and whether women have the right to ask for one seems timeless. The main argument questions whether the fetus has a soul; hence, is regarded a living human being from inside the womb or not. Therefore, the basis of the argument lies in the morality of abortion. That said; it was not until 800 BC to 200 BC, the period called the Axial Age (Jaspers, 2011), when religious texts started exploring deeper philosophical concepts, regarding the human nature and the soul. Prior that age, in the ancient world, there have been many discussions Continue reading...
