Supplement blog

In the United States, dietary supplements are big business with billions of dollars spent on supplements. We have been learning that nothing in nutrition is “good” or “bad” unless you also consider the amount and more is not always better. In this blog, you are to explore the topic of supplements and critically compare “beliefs” about supplements with valid nutrition information

The directions for this blog are a little different than the carbohydrates, fats and proteins, so please read closely.

Remember that your blog should be about 500-700 words long. You will need 2 valid references (while you may use your book for some of the discussion, you need 2 other valid sources and 1 needs to be a peer reviewed journal article).

To do your blog will require including 2 topics.

First, many people believe that a multivitamin supplement will provide all of the vitamins and minerals that a person needs for a day. To see if this is true, find a label for a multivitamin and mineral supplement (MVT). this can be from what you take, or go on the internet. You can choose a general MVT such as One a Day or Centrum, or you can use more focused such as GNC Mega Men, Multivit Gummies for Women, etc. Read the section in the book that discusses who needs a multivitamin supplement and what to look for in a supplement. Then compare your label with the recommendations. Does the supplement provide 100% of all needed vitamins and minerals? Which vitamins and minerals are higher? which are lower than 100%. After you have considered the text recommendations, discuss how that supplement meets or falls short of the recommendations.

Next, identify 1 belief that you had about supplements that you might now be questioning. Examples include: energy drinks give you energy, Vitamin C keeps you from getting a cold, a calcium supplement is just as good as drinking milk for strong bones, taking vitamins can keep you from getting cancer, people who take supplements live longer, etc. Clearly describe what you had heard or thought about the topic that you now question. Summarize the information about the topic that is presented in the book and compare and contrast what you previously thought.

For this topic – find 2 sources of valid information that address is topic. Summarize the information from the source. Provide citation to the valid information. This means that you need at least 2 valid references and one needs to be a peer reviewed journal article

Important step: Discuss how you will apply the information that you have learned.

*Please note- you will not be conducting the experiment, you will only come up with an idea for an experiment and explain the experiment. ****

Applying the scientific method design an experiment in which you will test the effect of an acidic fluid on enzymatic activity. (Recall: enzymes are proteins.) As you design your experiment for this project, please remember that you are trying to examine how an acidic fluid will modify the outcome of an enzymatic reaction. In your experimental design, you must clearly explain what you are doing. That means that you will need to identify the enzyme and the acid, as well as explain your experimental protocol (this information will help you to answer question 2). You must also thoroughly explain how the addition of the acidic fluid impacted the overall reaction process

You may need all or some of the following, depending on your experimental design:

Materials from your lab kit:

pH paper

hydrogen peroxide solution (you can purchase this at a pharmacy if you have used up the bottle that came with the lab kit)

plastic beakers or cups

vinegar

yeast (can be purchased at grocery store if you need more)

balloons

plastic bottle

marker for labeling of beakers

You may choose to use additional materials (different acidic solutions and/or different organisms and/or different substrate(s) if you chose to look at an enzyme other than catalase).

Question
Submit an evidence-based practice paper about cultural competency in mental health nursing. An evidence-based practice paper allows you to explore best practice and help improve client outcomes on a psychiatric unit. Your paper should describe how you, as a nurse, will include – or have included – cultural awareness in a client diagnosed with a mental illness. The person you describe could be someone in your clinical setting, someone you have worked with in the past, or a theoretical client.
Remember that culture can also include gender equality, sexual orientation, and other cultures besides race and religion – including cultures unique to one particular family. Your paper should be at least 3 pages (double-spaced, not including the title or reference pages) in APA Format and include:
Assessment: Discuss what you would assess in regard to a client’s culture. For example, are there specific dietary requirements? Are schedule changes necessary to avoid conflicts with religious practices? Who is the spokesperson for the family? What would you assess?
Diagnosis: List any mental health nursing diagnoses this person has or may be at risk for. Include at least one cultural diagnosis.
Planning: What planning needs to be done to ensure the cultural and emotional safety of the client?
Implementation:What are interventions that would ensure the safety of your client in regard to culture? Include at least two interventions. For example, if your client has religious beliefs that affect the ability to take medications, what interventions would you create to ensure the client’s safety? What can you do to make sure the client’s cultural needs are met?
Evaluation:How will you evaluate whether your implementation was effective? Make sure the parameters are objective and measurable.
In your summary, discuss whether any completed interventions were successful. What could be done differently in the future? If the interventions have not yet been carried out, you might discuss some institutional changes that could be made to ensure cultural safety for all clients in that setting.
Your paper should utilize proper APA guidelines and include at least three scholarly sources to support your paper.
