There are many factors a person can consider that young males could hear and help improve overall health. One for example and the most simple one is the use of protection during sex or contraception. Having unsafe sex contributes to the decreased health of women and children, it could be the woman having problems with birth or lack of support necessary to be able to support a newborn baby and the same goes for a baby, they need a lot of time and effort and sometimes unsafe sex leads to unwanted children and so the baby will receive not receive the support or attention needed to be cared for properly. Understanding how important it is to be safe and using protection could help again the decreased health of these groups and would benefit a lot. Something else young males can learn to improve overall health is to understand the negative effects of drugs and alcohol use, drug use is something that affects the world and many people aren’t educated on how harmful it can really be. To ask for no use of these harmful drugs is not what I am asking for but instead to educate young males and others to understand what it is they are doing and in educating them on the negatives hopefully they can see how important it is to take care of yourself and those around them and they could lower their usage or even stop entirely if possible to unhealthy addictions. The third and final factor that young males and even most teenagers and adults could address is the lack of physical activity that leads to obesity. Simply exercising a little would help towards fixing some issues and of course not all of them but it is a big step towards working together to achieve the goal of overall health.

Restraints ethical and legal considerations in children/ adolescent and adults

     Restraints can only be used only if absolutely necessary when harm to self, others, or staff is preventative and cannot be used for the convenience of

staff in any case and is considered a physical device that restricts movements and can be chemical (Medcom, 2008). Restraints must be ordered by a

physician or independent practitioners and cannot exceed 4 hours for adults, 2 hours for 9-17 years of age, and 2 hours for ages 8 or less with the ability to

be renewed up to 24 hours until a face to face examination is done and a new order in place (APA, 2008). In a recent study on adolescents being restrained

the risk factor for the restrained adolescents were found to be primarily female gender with low psychosocial functioning with more and longer admissions

and concomitant use of pharmacological restraints (Furre et al, 2017). Restraints in the elderly are three times greater related to the higher hospitalization

rate secondary to their affliction by different chronic conditions, along with their higher risk for fall or injury to self or others (Sharifi et al, 2020). Legal and

ethical consideration for all age groups is of high importance when using restraints of any kind and can have implications to the practitioner if not used with

high considerations and constant supervision with reevaluation ongoing. Three considerations legally and ethically when using restraint in a setting is the

staff and admitted patients adequately supported and supervised at this time, the numbers of staff working should adequately reflect the number of

admissions at any given time, and thirdly during the admission process police and psychiatric staff should cooperate to ensure that the admission proceeds

safely for staff and patient, and stay until it is established that the referral was appropriate.

Case Study, Chapter 8, Unlicensed Assistive Personnel and the Registered Nurse 

The increased use of unlicensed assistive personnel presents both opportunities and challenges for the American health care system. The nurse manager has to deal with the challenge that unlicensed assistive personnel only be used to provide personal care needs or nursing tasks that do not require the skill and judgment of the RN.

1. The nurse manager reviews the national effort to define the scope of practice for unlicensed assistive personnel. In 2007, the American Nurses Association made recommendations for a national and/or state policy for nursing assistive personnel. What are the six actions that should be taken to create a national and/or state policy agenda about the educational preparation of unlicensed assistive personnel and the competencies they should have for safe practice?

2. The need in health care today is for today’s nurses to have highly developed delegation skills in working effectively and efficiently with unlicensed assistive personnel. This is critical to ensure the clients’ needs are met and their safety is not jeopardized. What are the key general principles that the nurse manager needs to review with professional registered nurses in delegating to unlicensed assistive personnel?
