Systematic Research Review Rebecca Harty Chamberlain College of Nursing NR505: Advance Research Methods: Evidence-Based Learning Spring A, 2015 Introduction Before a patient may present with Cardiopulmonary arrest, they will often exhibit signs and symptoms of their worsening condition hours or days prior to the event. This is considered “failure to rescue” where the caregivers lack the skill to identify signs and symptoms of a decline in a patient’s condition, or a delay in intervening to prevent a cardiac arrest.

Risk factors of malnutrition for elderly living at home include poor self-perception of health, increasing age and depression (Johansson, Bachrach-Lindstrom, Carstensen, & Ek, 2008). This is reaffirmed by Silver (2009) whom states that social isolation and poor mental or physical health, all of which can contribute to depression, are risk factors for malnourishment in the older person.

Prevention and strategies need to be put in place urgently to slow down and reverse this upsurge in obesity. Encouraging individuals to make healthy choices may have some impact, but because of the magnitude of the issue according to Purcell (2010), it is insignificant.

Discrimination in health care Administrative Ethics Concerning Discrimination HCS/335 - HEALTH CARE ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY GAIL GARREN Discrimination in Health Care Discrimination in health care is an ethical issue centered on age, income, obesity, and mental illness. Though much appears to be happening in the way of clarifying the legality of the discrimination in health care, it seems to be a futile effort at best. Elderly patients find themselves facing death boards or doctors who are not interesting in hearing their medical complains. A person’s ability to pay for a health insurance and health services currently rations health services to the middle-income families who cannot pay for health care. The stigma a mental health issues often keep the mentally ill from seeking treatment for their illnesses.
Persons with traumatic brain injury who participated in six weeks of the Quality of Life and Awareness Training (QLAT) were compared to persons who did not participate in six weeks of the QLAT to see if they differed significantly in the way that they perceived quality of life and awareness of their deficits. Therefore the research questions sought to determine if persons with traumatic brain injury who participate in six weeks of the Quality of Life and Awareness Training differ significantly from persons who do not participate in six weeks of the Quality of Life and Awareness Training in the way that they perceive their quality of life. Secondly, if persons with traumatic brain injury who participate in six weeks of the Quality of Life and Awareness Training differ significantly from persons who do not participate in six weeks of the Quality of Life and Awareness Training in awareness of their deficits.
