Reviewing Alternative Sources of Information

/in /by

In this discussion, you will have an opportunity to seek out gray literature for your research, and apply the
guidelines you have studied to determine if you should use these resources in your research. To get started,
conduct an Internet search for institutional, organizational, and governmental agencies that provide information
relevant to understanding and researching your topic of interest and research focus. Identify three such
sources and describe the kind of information that is available from each source.
In your initial discussion post,
• Identify and provide a complete APA citation for three sources that contain information from institutional,
organizational or government agency websites that contain information relevant to your research topic or
research focus. Consider accessing the Writing Center’s Formatting Your References List (Links to an external
site.) for more on completing a complete reference citation.
• Provide direct links to the three sources within your initial post.
• Analyze how the information you found through the institutional, organizational, or governmental Internet sites
is relevant to your topic and research question.
• Evaluate whether it would be reasonable and ethically acceptable to include information from these three
sources in a formal research project on your topic, and explain your decision.

What women want

/in /by

Watch the film, What Women Want in class. As you watch the film,
take notes on any connections that you find between the plot, overall themes,
and specific scenes in the movie and the material that we’ve covered in
Units 1 and 2. Questions are provided for your consideration, but are not
required to be answered. Finally, write a 3-5 page paper highlighting four (4)
applications.
Questions to consider

  1. Does Darcy “act like a man” to establish dominance, or does she employ traditionally
    feminine verbal and nonverbal communication stereotypes? Or both?
  2. When Nick is thinking about the products in their homework kit, is he perceiving them
    from the woman’s or man’s perspective? How does shifting that perspective make him
    more effective in his job?
  3. How are the motivations or goals for speaking and listening enacted by the characters?
  4. What artifacts are used to enact or illustrate gender norms?
  5. How do Nick’s listening and communication habits exhibit power?
  6. How are the dimensions of nonverbal communication challenged or supported?
  7. How does Nick employ code-switching between his roles?
  8. How do the women in Nick’s life use nonverbals to cope with their issues with him? How
    are these nonverbals used to reinforce or negate their verbal messages?

The factors that contribute to health inequalities.

/in /by

The Marmot Review (2010) stated that “there is a social gradient in health – the lower a person’s social position, the worse his or her health, and that, reducing health inequalities is a matter of fairness and social justice”. There are many people who are currently dying prematurely each year as a result of health inequalities.
Using the literature and your experience, critically consider the factors that contribute to health inequalities, and the factors that nurses may employ to reduce these.

Jane Sullivan case study.

/in /by

Today you are meeting with Jane Sullivan, a 32-year-old newly widowed woman who is four months pregnant. Jane was referred to you by her nurse-midwife, who has been caring for Jane for the last two months. Jane enters your office looking exhausted. Her 18-month-old son, James, has food on his face and in his hair. Jane’s shirt is ill-fitting and crumpled, her hair is pulled back with just a rubber band, and her jeans have food crusted on them. It goes beyond the typical “mother of a toddler” look. She starts to cry as soon as she sits down in your office and then has a hard time composing herself. She runs her hand through her hair, seeming to not notice the rubber band falling out. You try to distract James with a toy, but he clings to Jane and buries his face in her legs. When she finally stops crying, she tells you, “I’m so sorry. I am having such a hard time dealing with everything. My husband, Jacob, was killed in Afghanistan last month by a roadside bomb. I had only found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks before that and Jake didn’t even know yet…. I…I must have gotten pregnant the night before he deployed. He’d only been gone for just three months.” Jane takes a deep, shuddering breath and continues. “I’ve been having nightmares and barely eating.” She laughs and brushes at her jeans. “That’s from James’ lunch. ”James, who hasn’t left her legs, starts crying. While attempting to comfort him, she says, “We live on base. I don’t think I can stay there much longer, and I don’t know where to go. I don’t have the energy to find a new home and pack and I just can’t face it. Sometimes I think it would just be easier to pack the car with a few things and drive off when they tell me to leave.
“I just don’t know what to do with myself. I just want to be with Jake. I don’t want to be with anyone else. Mari keeps asking me to come over, just for coffee, but I don’t know, I never go.” Quietly, almost whispering, she says, “Actually, I’ve barely left the house except to see the midwife and now you. I have to protect the baby since that’s all we’ve got left of Jake.”
James raises his tear-stained face. “Mommy? Where Dada? ”Jane digs in her purse and pulls out a crumpled piece of paper. “Hush, James. Here’s Daddy’s picture.” She wipes his face with a tissue and takes a few shuddering breaths. “Back at the end of high school. Do you know how senior year is supposed to be the best year? Not for me. My daddy died. He was only 42, and I’d just turned 18. Supposed to be an adult and all I wanted was my daddy back. But at least I got to know him for 18 years. James and the baby will not know their daddy at all!” “I had to see a counselor for a while back then, too. I missed a lot of schools, but I graduated anyway. My teachers all understood that I was depressed. I kind of feel the same way now. Only I think it’s way worse, being pregnant and having a toddler.” She half laughs. “And I thought the senior year was bad. What a child I was!” “And my Mom is not here to help. She died just before James was born. Breast cancer. Two years ago. I cannot even think about whether that might happen to me. I do have a sister; Bonnie lives out in Oregon. We were close before but became even closer after Mom died. She was a big help in giving me advice about James! But she is going through a divorce and beginning life as a single mom herself! My nieces are 8, 7, and 5. Can you believe it? This whole family has lost parent after parent after parent.” Jane sighs deeply and goes quiet.
