Doing Gender

Using the concept of “Doing Gender” (see page 254
of textbook): Give two (2) examples of ways you “do gender” in your
daily life. You cannot use an example cited on page 254-255. I have uploaded the portion of the text book that contains the example mentioned above. Also when you write it keep in mind that I am an African American as well light skinned to be specific, I say this because our experiance as black people can be diffrent based on your skin shade, you don’t have to use it if it’s not helpful. let me know if you have any questions.

Association of Parental Warmth With Depression and Obesity

A summary and critique of the article attached. Read article in full and complete the assignment below.

In at least two full pages single-spaced, provide an overall summary of the article and a critique.
For the summary, give an overview of the research question, the existing evidence the authors drew on, how they went about testing their questions, what they found, and what their future directions are.

For the critique, focus on whether the study was appropriate for asking the research question outlined and whether there was a better way to approach the question. Review the limitations of the study and, importantly, what the study doesn’t tell us about health psychology. Are there any alternative explanations to the ones the authors provide? Is there some crucial consideration they didn’t make? Explain what these might have been and expand on why they are important to point out.

You may draw on other sources if you wish. You can also draw on personal experiences or news items. There is little structure to this paper other than what is outlined above, so there’s no definitive cut-off for how much of the paper should be dedicated to the summary v. the critique. Both should be present and the paper should be at least two pages.

**Don’t include quotes from the article.** The whole paper should be your own original writing. If you include any verbatim writing from any source, you will receive a zero.

Margins must be 1 inch for all dimensions, font must be 12pt Times New Roman, and there should be no extra spaces between paragraphs.

Advanced Pharmacology – Assignment Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders

NURS 6521 Advanced Pharmacology – Assignment
Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders
Case Study – Patient HL
Patient HL
comes into the clinic with the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
The patient has a history of drug abuse and possible Hepatitis C. HL is currently
taking the following prescription drugs:
Synthroid 100 mcg daily
Nifedipine 30 mg daily
Prednisone 10 mg daily

Gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary disorders
affect the structure and function of the GI tract. Many of these disorders
often have similar symptoms, such as abdominal pain, cramping, constipation,
nausea, bloating, and fatigue. Since multiple disorders can be tied to the same
symptoms, it is important for advanced practice nurses to carefully evaluate
patients and prescribe a treatment that targets the cause rather than the
symptom.

Once the underlying cause is identified, an
appropriate drug therapy plan can be recommended based on medical history and
individual patient factors. In this Assignment, you examine a case study of a
patient who presents with symptoms of a possible GI/hepatobiliary disorder, and
you design an appropriate drug therapy plan.

To Prepare
Review the case study assigned by your Instructor for
this Assignment
Reflect on the patient’s symptoms, medical history,
and drugs currently prescribed.
Think about a possible diagnosis for the patient.
Consider whether the patient has a disorder related to the gastrointestinal and
hepatobiliary system or whether the symptoms are the result of a disorder from
another system or other factors, such as pregnancy, drugs, or a psychological
disorder.
Consider an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the
patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.
Write a 1-page paper that addresses the
following:
►Explain your diagnosis for the patient, including
your rationale for the diagnosis.
►Describe an appropriate drug therapy plan based on
the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.
►Justify why you would recommend this drug therapy
plan for this patient. Be specific and provide examples.

Fiscal vs. Monetary Policy

This is for an Accounting class discussion so I would need a few paragraphs for each number. Each post should have its own reference as it will be posted separately, Thank you.

1. What is the difference between fiscal and monetary policy? Give examples of each.

2. How are unemployment and inflation related?

Describe the situation, who is affected, and why it is occurring. Describe the different perspectives or stances on this topic. Why do people feel the way they do? What is your stance? Use examples from articles and your own experiences, observations, or perspective to support your claims.

The Assignment: In an argumentative essay of 2,000 words or more, address the following prompt. This essay should feature a well-developed thesis and appropriate evidence to support your claims. You must engage and cite at least one essays from in this class (either one I assigned, one you found for a homework assignment, or one found by one of your peers), and three outside nonfiction articles. Be sure to provide thorough analysis of all quotes and examples, and include your own argument based on your perspective on the topic.
The Prompt: Pick an ongoing or recent social issue, political event, or newsworthy situation to focus on. Provide some context for this issue. Describe the situation, who is affected, and why it is occurring. Describe the different perspectives or stances on this topic. Why do people feel the way they do? What is your stance? Use examples from articles and your own experiences, observations, or perspective to support your claims.
Research: The outside sources can be any nonfiction essays of your choice. You may choose to use news articles, personal essays, research essays, academic articles from the DVC Library database, or any combination that relates to your topic. The outside essays may bring a new perspective on the topic, present a counter-argument to the assigned text(s), or provide an example that supports your claims. If you choose to cite news articles, your sources should be legitimate news outlets that adhere to journalistic standards. (Note that this does not mean that the source is unbiased; all writing has some form of bias.) I recommend news sites like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Democracy Now, NPR, BBC, The Nation, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Economist, etc. (You are not required to use these; they are simply suggestions.) It would be most helpful if your articles are in-depth rather than a few brief paragraphs. You may also use opinion pieces but be sure to be aware of the author’s intention.
Formatting: This essay will be in MLA format. This means it will be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point font (I prefer Times New Roman), with page numbers and your last name on each page, and a header on the first page. Your title should be original, and you must include a Works Cited page. Be sure to include in-text citations in the body of the essay. For help with MLA formatting and citations, please see the handouts on Canvas in “Resources for Essays.”
Note: Words and phrases that are underlined on this page will be taken into consideration when grading.
