Application: Cancer and Women’s and Men’s Health

The American Cancer Society estimates that by the end of 2012, more than 226,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 241,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (American Cancer Society, 2012a; American Cancer Society 2012b). With such prevalence of women’s and men’s cancers, patient education and preventive services are essential. In clinical settings, advanced practice nurses must assist physicians in educating patients on risk factors, preventive services, and for patients diagnosed with cancer, on potential drug treatments. The clinical implications of women’s and men’s cancer greatly depend on early detection, which is primarily achieved through preventive services. In this Assignment, you consider the short-term and long-term implications of cancer and drug treatments associated with women’s and men’s health, as well as appropriate preventive services.

To prepare:

• Select a type of cancer associated with women’s or men’s health such as breast, cervical, or ovarian cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
• Locate and review articles examining the type of cancer you selected.
• Review the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force article in the Learning Resources. Think about available preventive services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of this type of cancer.
• Select two of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how these factors might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Consider drug treatment options for patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected including short-term and long-term implications of the treatments.

To complete:

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe available preventive services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of the type of cancer you selected.
• Explain how the factors you selected might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Describe drug treatment options for patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected. Explain the short-term and long-term implications of these treatments.

Recent headlines have sparked heated debate about whether boys should be allowed to dress as girls. For example, a 5-year-old boy in Seattle who enjoys things traditionally for girls, such as jewelry, the color pink, and dresses was supported and encouraged by his mother, who wrote a book about him called “My Princess Boy”. A J. Crew ad featured a mother painting her young boy’s toenails hot pink (CBS News, 2011 April 13). Reactions ranged from outrage and disbelief to support of the mothers.

On the flipside, girls who shun traditionally “girly things” such as dresses and flowers in favor of more traditional “boy things” such as watching or playing sports, rough-and-tumble play, and choosing boys as friends are often called tomboys.

For either sex, choosing to engage in activities traditionally reserved for a specific sex can result in teasing and accusations of homosexuality.

• Using research gathered from your textbook, online course content, and at least 1 research article, analyze the above scenarios.
  • Are the behaviors discussed above (i.e., preferring things traditionally acceptable for a specific sex) indicative of homosexuality? Why or why not?
  • Describe the psychological consequences (positive and negative) that might result from engaging in behaviors reserved for a specific sex?
  • Develop an argument for or against concern that these children might be exhibiting a paraphilia.
  • Which paraphilia(s) might apply and what criteria would you use based on the research?
  • What, if any, intervention would you recommend to a parent whose little girl or boy expresses the desire to engage in behaviors typical of the opposite sex? If you do not believe intervention is necessary, explain why.

Chapter 6, Technical Question 3 in the textbook.

3. Industry studies often suggest that firms may have long-run average cost curves that show some output range over which there are economies of scale and a wide range of output over which long-run average cost is constant; finally, at very high output, there are diseconomies of scale.
4. Draw a representative long-run average cost curve, and indicate the minimum efficient scale.
5. Would you expect that firms in an industry like this would all produce about the same level of output? Why?

 

3. The following graph shows economies of scale in the beer brewing industry.

Please see attached document for graph. Replicate the graph on EXCEL then answer the questions

 

1. What does this graph tell us about the nature of economies of scale in the beer brewing

industry?

1. What are the particular problems associated with the firm represented by the SATC curve

shown in the graph? Does it represent a firm that would be able to survive over time?

 

Accommodating Religious Practices in the Global Workplace

Countries have different approaches to religious practices in the workplace. In the Unites States, for example, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 expressly prohibits discrimination against applicants or employees based on their religion. Still, there might be exceptions that can favor the employer.

 

Instructions:

 

Research a recent (2011 or later) case where an individual claimed religious discrimination as a basis for his or her being fired. It is preferable if you choose a case that occurred in the country in which you currently work or plan to work.

 

1. State the facts of the case.

 

1.  Identify any relevant laws (these may be social, traditional, or legal) utilized by the court/authority in considering or determining the outcome of the case.

 

 

2. Define applicable legal/social doctrine or customs, provisions of the law or custom, and elements of a specific course of action.

 

Then, address the following:

 

1. Are there exceptions to the doctrines or customs named above that give employers an advantage in hiring and firing employees? Explain your answer.

 

1. What is the responsibility of employees with regard to their religious behavior in the workplace?

 

 

 

How might an employer avoid a religious discrimination lawsuit or issue? Provide three points on proactive religious policy in the workplace in the country you have chosen to study for your case.

 

 

 

Your paper should be well written and 3 pages in length, not counting the required title and reference pages.
