1.The economic and human costs associated with Alzheimer’s disease have prompted various research studies into the matter. A key topic of research and evaluation is the family’s role or obligation in caring for Alzheimer’s patients, especially parents. Such studies need to incorporate ethical considerations as they involve human beings, sensitive and vulnerable medical and care information, and contribute to knowledge development of the matter; thus, they should be done in the right way to improve the credibility and reliability of the information in the research. Ethical considerations are guidelines and principles that guide research and ensure the research process does not violate any human rights or academic regulations.

Martinez et al. (2022) conducted a qualitative study to understand the dynamics of caregiving of patients with Alzheimer’s within the Latino community because of their emphasis on familism. The study conducted interviews as its primary data collection method, which mandated various ethical considerations. Therefore, Martinez et al. obtained approval from their university’s Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was obtained before the interview. In another study to understand the caregiver’s perception of the unmet palliative care needs in Iranian Alzheimer’s patients, Ashrafizadeh et al. (2021) conducted a qualitative study. In this study, the authors mention that they incorporated various ethical considerations, including approval by the respective university’s Ethics committee. Additionally, they incorporated the voluntary nature of participation, obtained informed written consent forms and anonymity of the participants, and informed them of their right to withdraw from the study at any point. Further, they ensured the confidentiality of the information provided by the participants and guaranteed of using the said information for the sole purpose of the research.

In a cross-sectional study that involved fifty formal caregivers and fifty informal caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease patients, Sołtys & Tyburski (2020) sought to understand the predictors of mental health problems among these caregivers. The authors ensured that all surveyed caregivers willingly agreed to participate, and an ethics committee approved the study. Also, participants provided informed consent. Ashrafizadeh et al. (2021) ethical approach was relatively different, as the key ethical considerations were approval and the participant’s rights. This is seen in how the study guaranteed anonymity by providing nicknames for the participants that also assured confidentiality of the information provided. The participants were also assured of the publication of the results. At the same time, the authors obtained both oral and written consent to ensure the participants understood their involvement, including their right to withdraw from the study. Ethical considerations are similar as long as they involve human participants, even through virtual communication. Rodríguez-Mora et al conducted their interviews virtually but also had to seek informed consent and approval, and in this case, ensure no harm came to the participants by upholding the containment measures as the study was conducted during the recent pandemic.

2. Ethical approaches in research studies entail setting principles that help achieve the goal of research designs and practices. The approaches help the researchers to achieve a code of conduct when interacting with people to collect data. The primary goals of any short or comprehensive research entail enhancing the research validity, maintaining scientific or academic integrity, and acknowledging researchers who performed various research earlier. These practices are mainly for the research conducted using printed or recorded data sources.

Human research entails comprehensive ethical considerations, with voluntary participation being one of them. There is no pressure or compulsion used on any research participants to participate. Everyone enrolled in the study can stop at any time without feeling obligated to continue (Newman et al., 2021). Participants cannot be coerced into justifying leaving the study. As a result, it is critical to make it evident to participants that declining to participate will not have any detrimental effects.

Another consideration is whether participants provided informed consent and where the data was collected. The prospective participants should be provided with and comprehend the information necessary for making a participation decision (Newman et al., 2021). This includes information about the study’s advantages, hazards, funding, and institutional endorsement. Participants should be given a text to read and asked if they have any questions before proceeding. They can initial or sign the consent form if they are willing to participate. When working with particularly vulnerable groups of people, remember that this might not be enough to obtain informed consent.

Further confidentiality must be integrated into research by granting all participants the right to privacy. The researchers must protect participants’ data for a long provided they hold it (Horton & Lucassen, 2023). this consideration should be maintained when the data is collected anonymously. Assumptions such as research process grant confidentiality automatically grants confidentiality should not be taken (Horton & Lucassen, 2023). Some research designs are not conducive to confidentiality, but it is essential to make all attempts and inform participants of the risks involved. Therefore, achieving confidentiality should be explicitly planned for and met by the researchers.

In conclusion, ethical approaches to conducting research should entail observing a code of conduct that enhances research validity when collecting, storing, and interpreting data. Academic integrity should be considered when dealing with records. In human research, participants should be allowed to provide data voluntarily. They should be informed of the research details before being subjected to the research participation. Confidentiality of personal information should be significantly upheld even when research designs do not appear to favor confidentiality. Thus, researchers must ensure that research validity is enhanced by taking the ideal measures of research ethics.

· Bullying.

· Teen Pregnancy.

· LGBTQIA + Health.

· Sudden Infant Death (SID).

· Immunization.

· Tobacco use (include all: vaping, e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and smoking) cessation.

INTRODUCTION- The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific community health concern or health need. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the participants. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation. This assessment is the foundation for the implementation of your health promotion educational plan (Assessment 4).

Note: Assessment 1 must be completed first before you are able to submit Assessment 4. Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Preparation- You will need to satisfactorily pass Assessment 1 (Health Promotion Plan) before working on your last assessment (Assessment 4).

To prepare for the assessment, consider a various health concern or health need that you would like to be the focus of your plan from the topic list provided, the populations potentially affected by that concern or health need, and hypothetical individuals or groups living in the community. Then, investigate your chosen concern or need and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence.

As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Effective Interpersonal Communications activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.

For this assessment, you will propose a hypothetical health promotion plan addressing a particular health concern or health need affecting a fictitious individual or group living in the community. The hypothetical individual or group of your choice must be living in the community; not in a hospital, assistant living, nursing home, or other facility. You may choose any health issues or need from the list provided in the instructions.

In the Assessment 4, you will simulate a face-to-face presentation of this plan to the individual or group that you have identified.

Please choose one of the topics below:

· Bullying.

· Teen Pregnancy.

· LGBTQIA + Health.

· Sudden Infant Death (SID).

· Immunizations.

· Tobacco use (include all: vaping e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and smoking) cessation. (
MUST address all tobacco products).

CONTEXT- Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to community and public health with regard to health promotion, disease prevention, and environmental and public safety. They have also been instrumental in shaping public health policy. Today, community and public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues. The goal of community and public health nursing is to optimize the health of individuals and families, taking into consideration cultural, racial, ethnic groups, communities, and populations. Caring for a population involves identifying the factors that place the population's health at risk and developing specific interventions to address those factors. The community/public health nurse uses epidemiology as a tool to customize disease prevention and health promotion strategies disseminated to a specific population. Epidemiology is the branch of medicine that investigates causes of various diseases in a specific population (CDC, 2012; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

As an advocate and educator, the community/public health nurse is instrumental in providing individuals, groups, and aggregates with the tools that are essential for health promotion and disease prevention. There is a connection between one's quality of life and their health literacy. Health literacy is related to the knowledge, comprehension, and understanding of one's condition along with the ability to find resources that will treat, prevent, maintain, or cure their condition. Health literacy is impacted by the individual's learning style, reading level, and the ability understand and retain the information being provided. The individual's technology aptitude and proficiency in navigating available resources is an essential component to making informed decisions and to the teaching learning process (CDC, 2012; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

It is essential to develop trust and rapport with community members to accurately identify health needs and help them adopt health promotion, health maintenance, and disease prevention strategies. Cultural, socio-economical, and educational biases need to be taken into consideration when communicating and developing an individualized treatment and educational plan. Social, economic, cultural, and lifestyle behaviors can have an impact on an individual's health and the health of a community. These behaviors may pose health risks, which may be mitigated through lifestyle/behaviorally-based education. The environment, housing conditions, employment factors, diet, cultural beliefs, and family/support system structure play a role in a person's levels of risk and resulting health. Assessment, evaluation, and inclusion of these factors provide a basis for the development of an individualized plan. The health professional may use a genogram or sociogram in this process.

What is a genogram? A genogram, similar to a family tree, is used to gather detailed information about the quality of relationships and interactions between family members over generations as opposed to lineage. Gender, family relationships, emotional relationships, lifespan, and genetic predisposition to certain health conditions are components of a genogram. A genogram, for instance, may identify a pattern of martial issues perhaps rooted in anger or explain why a person has green eyes.

What is a sociogram? A sociogram helps the health professional to develop a greater understanding of these factors by seeing inter-relationships, social links between people or other entities, as well as patterns to identify vulnerable populations and the flow of information within the community.

Reply Microscopy

/in /by

I find the use of microscopes fascinating. It still blows my mind that before the microscope was invented looking at cells and all their components was never a thing! The use of the microscope opened so many doors in medicine, it really is incredible. A specific scenario where I would require the use of a microscope would be if I were wanting to identify certain toxins that may be responsible for causing autoimmune diseases such as Lupus. The type of light microscope that is needed in this scenario uses fluorescent-labeled antibodies to detect certain bacteria, viruses, or toxins. It uses specific staining techniques to identify distribution of proteins or other molecules. Fluorescent microscopes were first invented in between 1911 and 1913 by two German physicists Heimstaedt and Lehmann.

The second microscope I would use is a confocal microscope. A confocal microscope offers high-quality images that are relatively easy to obtain from specimens, which makes it one of the more popular microscopes. However, this specific type of microscope can increase cell and tissue death due to the high- intensity laser. This may cause people to opt out of using the Confocal microscope if they are dealing with certain tissues or cells that are more sensitive.
