1-Telling teenagers not to do something can sometimes have the reverse effect of what we wish to happen. Instead of telling teenagers to not have sex, even though we want them to refrain from it because of the risks of infection and pregnancies, it is more important to educate them on how to have safe sexual intercourse and how to effectively use methods of contraceptives. It is better to work with teenagers instead of against them.

2-I agree with you about African American teens still have the highest pregancy in USA and they are facing greatest risk for preeclampsia, low birth weight infant, and preterm delivery.  Unfortunately, these teens were born to teen moms as well and their vicious cycle doesn’t seem to end.  They lack parental supports, no desire to be educated, and drop out of high school and work at lower paying job inconsistently.  Kids born to teen moms usually grow without their father as well and being a teen mom seems almost normal to these young girls growing looking at their young mom without any role modles guiding them to the right way.

3-. It’s amazing and sad how poverty can have negative impact on so many things. Socio-economic circumstances seem to play a major role in rates of teen pregnancy. Throughout the developed world, teenage pregnancy is more common among young people who have been disadvantaged in childhood and have low expectations of education or the job market.  The literature shows that youth living in poverty have a teen pregnancy rate which is five times the average. For some disadvantaged youth, particularly for girls whose self-esteem tends to drop as they mature, sexuality may be all they have to value. Lack of opportunity and hope for the future, have been identified as a driving force behind high rates of teen pregnancy.

Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors.

One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.

To Prepare

• Reflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients, including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients, including adults and children.
• Consider how you might apply the stepwise approach to address the health needs of a patient in your practice.
• Reflect on how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.

By Day 7 of Week 3

Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.
• Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.
• Explain how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease. Be specific.

Time Management

This assignment is about you. It is an assessment of your abilities and traits.

Every week you will complete a personal assessment–your own personal leadership framework.

This assignment will help you figure out what style of leadership you have been following and whether this style works for you.

Through this assignment, you will find the various approaches of leadership that complement each other. There is no one theory that describes the only way to be an effective leader. Each theory focuses on different issues, but they all help you to better understand how to become a successful leader.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about Time Management Assessment.

Note: You can also use the following link to access the Time Management Assessment: http://literacynet.org/icans/chapter03/timemgmt.html

Based on your research and understanding, create a paper in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that:

• Incorporates your time management self-assessment information and the concepts learned this week (leadership theories, leadership versus management, professional nursing organizations, and time management).
• Includes identification of one leadership theory, which you feel best describes your leadership style.
• Includes a comparison between leadership and management.
• Includes a suggestion on how to apply this week’s concepts to the work environment.
