hi dear,

I just need to 2 responses to the assignments.

Please be thorough with your response and be sure to back up all information with reputable sources.

1. Children as young as six years old already have assumed beliefs about how gender plays a role in society (Berk 2009).  They are already beginning to assume personality traits and societal status of their peers based on their gender (Gelman 2004).  When these stereotypes are reinforced at such an early age they can have long lasting effects on the child’s development later in life. Gender roles in society assume everything for academic aptitude to career proficiency, which have a direct affect how children begin to imagine their life trajectory (Rainey 1999).

Children from an early age in to adolescence are most strongly influenced by their parents.  In order to equalize the perceptions of gender roles in this country, we have to identify how parents can positively affect their children’ perceptions of the roles of their own gender, and the genders of their peers.  In general, parent’s views on gender roles tend to transfer to their children of the same gender more strongly (Halpern 2015).  Daughters of mothers who wouldn’t fit in a traditional gender role tend to have a more open opinion on the gender roles of all women.  There is a similar effect seen in the relationship between a father’s perception of gender roles and those of their sons (Halpern 2015).  

More directly than a parent’s views on gender roles, a parent’s behavior is a predictor for children’s perceptions of gender roles (Halpern 2015).  In order to meaningfully change how gender roles are perceived in future generations, adults now have to begin to demonstrate gender equality.  Change can be affected much faster if as a nation we can all begin to actively take on roles in the family or at work that are traditionally done by a different gender.  Parents now have to commit to show their children through action that gender doesn’t confine people to a particular way of life.

2. Development of Gender Roles

Personally, I believe that the parents have the largest influence on a child’s gender roles. Gender roles are pushed by parents as soon as the baby is born. Babies are assigned a gender based on the physical anatomy of their bodies, and as their cognitive development starts, they are manipulated to believe all of the stereotypes associated with their assigned gender. During this early stage of a child’s life their primary source of knowledge comes from their caregivers, and parents. According “Human Sexuality Diversity in Contemporary America “parents manipulate their children from infancy onward, they treat their daughters gently and tell her she is pretty, and they treat their sons roughly and tel him that he is strong” (Sayad, Yarber, 2013). Parents teach their children what is appropriate, and what is inappropriate for their genders.

If a dad see’s his son playing with a Barbie, he will likely distract him with a different toy, or advise him that this particular toy is for girls. The dad might react this way because he is afraid that if he lets his son play with the barbie then that is allowing him to act like a girl, and this will lead to him being a homosexual. While the likely-hood of this being the determining factor of a person’s sexuality, it is indeed taboo for boys to play with toys that are intended for girls. There is double standard when it comes to girls playing with toys that are intended for boys. According to The National Association for the Education of the Young Child, Children benefit cognitively from playing with toys. A boy can learn to care for a baby, and practice his ability to nurture by playing with dolls. Children develop gender identity between 18 months and 3 years, gender typing is established by 4-5 years and gender role development happens by 5 years. Since the parents are responsible for early gender role pushing and continue to carry out these gender stereotypes long before children are old enough to be influenced by teachers, media, or any other outside influence. They are indeed the main contributers to their child’s gender role.

Thanks,

1. Review the secondary data presented in the ANA Fast Facts and describe what the results say about this sample of the nursing workforce.
2. Describe the purpose and the intent of the ANA sharing these results?
3. The next process for our study is to collect data. The research design will indicate the best data to be collected. The tools that we use to collect data need to be reliable and valid. Define these terms with respect to research, and explain why they are important.
4. Consider data collection and measurement methods for your nursing clinical issue. Explain how you would collect data and what measurement methods you would use.

The Lab Assignment

• Choose one skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in this week’s Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.
• Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the skin graphic that you chose. Determine which is most likely to be the correct diagnosis and explain your reasoning using at least three different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning Resources.

PLEASE CHOSE 1 SKIN ISSUE AND THE SOAP TEMPLATE IS ATTACHED. ZERO PLAGIARISM. FIVE REFERENCES 

Read chapter 1, 2 & 6 of the class textbook and review the attached PowerPoint presentations once done answer the following questions.

1. Compare and contrast definitions of health from a public health nursing perspective.

2. Explain the difference between public/community health nursing practice and community-based nursing practice.

3. Discuss major contemporary issues facing community/public health nursing and trace the historical roots to the present.

4. Discuss and explain the steps to identified/diagnosed community health problems.

As stated in the syllabus please present your assignment in an APA format word document, Arial 12 font attached to the forum in the discussion board name “Week 1 discussion questions”.  A minimum of 2 evidence-based references is required (not counting the class textbook) no older than 5 years.  A minimum of replies to any of your peers are required sustained with the proper references.
