Adherence to Safe Infant Sleep Guidelines among Low-Income Parents
through Education on the Infant Sleep Environment.

As an early childhood educator, it is crucial to identify resources around the community to create a quality early care and education program. Our communities provide resources for families and early care and education programs to support children’s development. The Internet is a virtual tool that provides access to many resources. As a professional, you will need to evaluate the resources for quality and credibility.

For this assignment, you will write a three- to four-page paper providing a review of a community resource and two virtual resources that are available to you. Please include:

One community resource to share with parents and to use as an early childhood professional to support children’s development.
One virtual resource to share with parents.
One virtual resource that you can use as an early childhood professional.
For each of these resources, please provide the following:

A summary of what the resource includes and how it supports children’s development.
A rationale explaining why this resource is valuable to educators and to parents.
An explanation of how you will use this resource as an educator or how you will encourage parents to use this resource.
Your paper should be three to four pages in length (not including the title and reference pages) and must be formatted according to APA style. You must include one community resource, two virtual resources (websites), the textbook, and one additional scholarly source, all formatted according to APA styl

.Explore 1 of the Cult of True Womanhood principles (purity, domesticity, submissiveness, and piety) examined in Jacobs Narrative and its impact.

Assessment 1: Assessing the Abdomen
A woman went to the emergency room for severe abdominal cramping. She was diagnosed with diverticulitis; however, as a precaution, the doctor ordered a CAT scan. The CAT scan revealed a growth on the pancreas, which turned out to be pancreatic cancer—the real cause of the cramping.

Because of a high potential for misdiagnosis, determining the precise cause of abdominal pain can be time-consuming and challenging. By analyzing case studies of abnormal abdominal findings, nurses can prepare themselves to better diagnose conditions in the abdomen.

In this assignment, you will analyze a SOAP note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients, as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.

PLAN: This section is not required for the assignments in this course (NURS 6512) but will be required for future courses.
To prepare:

With regard to the SOAP note case study provided:

Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.
Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
To complete:

Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or Why not?
What diagnostic tests would be appropriate for this case and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least 3 different references from current evidence based literature.

Write a 2–4-page critical essay addressing the following claim about corruption:

“Corruption is a Western concept and is not applicable to traditional societies, where corruption does not have such a negative meaning. Many traditional societies with a ‘gift culture’ have a different understanding of civil responsibilities and etiquette. The social structure and political traditions of many countries are based on the beneficial exchange of rewards for services rendered, and cannot survive in its absence” (International Debate Education, 2011, p. 63 ).

Answer the following questions in your essay:

Do you agree with any part of this claim? If so, which parts? If not, why not?
What do the readings say on the topic of corruption as cultural tradition? What counter arguments do they make to the above assertion? Consider how gift culture and/or corruption is reflected in art, music, or film.
How could gift-giving traditions be used by unscrupulous officials as a way to take advantage of people in the name of tradition?
International Debate Education Association. (2011). The debatabase book: A must-have guide for successful debate. New York, NY: International Debate Education Association.

M.O. Walsh argues that what really makes a Southern gothic story, and the reason so many people love the genre, is that the characters are, almost without exception, underdogs. He explains, “Although it has been said that every person is the hero of their own life story, it is more accurate to say that every person is the underdog of their own life story. And though the Civil War is long gone, the American south still suffers from its past in almost every conceivable way, whether it be poverty rates or failing education systems.”

How does Walsh’s argument apply to the main characters in A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche, Stella, and Stanley? You may write about one, two, or all three of these characters. Your post should be 500-750 words in length, the equivalent of 2-3 double-spaced pages.

Structure:

Your primary post should include an introduction (Links to an external site.) that introduces the topic and ends with a clearly worded, 1-2 sentence thesis statement. (Links to an external site.). Each supporting paragraph (there should be at least 3) should begin with a strong topic sentence (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and should incorporate evidence, including direct quotations from the short stories as needed to support your argument. Direct quotations should be incorporated using the quotation sandwich method (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and proper MLA in-text citations (Links to an external site.). The post should also contain a strong conclusion (Links to an external site.)

WIND ENERGY UK

has a total capacity of 1200 MW generated by 240
turbines (assume a standard configuration) situated across 12 locations offshore
along the south east coast of England. The average availability of the turbines
across the fleet is less than 50%. There have been several catastrophic blade
failures leading to serious concerns over public and employee safety. Your client is
specifically concerned about an increasing number of main gearbox failures. The
majority of the issues appear to be maintenance related rather than inherent design
or build problems. Field failure data is very limited. Your RCM study might follow, but
is not limited to, the proposed method outlined in items (1)-(3). Item (4) is mandatory.

(1) Conduct a suitable failure modes and effects analysis that identifies the critical
wind turbine failure modes.
(2) Examine each of the critical failure modes to determine the optimum
maintenance policy.
(3) Your maintenance strategy might take into account cost, safety, environmental
and operational consequences.
(4) You should include in your discussion how the results from your RCM study
might compare to the results from a traditional RAMS study on the same asset
operating under the same conditions.
Note:- You may estimate the input data required for items (1), (2) and (3). The
assignment is designed to test your understanding of the application the method
NOT your knowledge of wind turbine technology. No need to cover in detail the
maintenance delivery (CBM technology etc) – this is covered in detail in the
Condition Based Module.
