From the Paper
"Indeed, a study of homeless women residing in downtown Los Angeles found that almost half of the women surveyed (there were 50 in total and they ranged in age from 18 to 44) slept 6 or fewer hours per night and had an uneven "day/night" sleep pattern. As well, employing the bio-behavioral framework to the full, lifestyle choices - habitual drinking, smoking, and drug use - were significant predictors of poor sleep patterns and mental health illnesses such as depression, chronic anxiety (especially anxiety sparked by worries about money and safety), and persistent loneliness, were also contributing factors to the "sleep/wake" patterns of the subject population."

"Human Resources (HR) is extremely important to maintain not only effective and profitable healthcare operations but also to ensure safe delivery of healthcare services in a highly regulated environment. HR solutions such as selecting and hiring as well as motivating and retaining healthcare staff should ensure that the healthcare operation is aligned with the overall business strategy as defined by the organization's leadership: "Staffing strategies guide the recruitment, utilization, development, movement, and attrition of talent in ways that support long-term business requirements" (Bechet & Walker, 1993, para.3)."

From the Paper
"Additionally, the mental health professional must work to maintain a professional relationship with the client that is built on objective, empathic recognition of the client's past and current histories, which will help facilitate insight into how and why the client makes specific decisions and how the client frames his or her relationships with others. Limitations imposed by professional standards and the obligations that the therapist has towards the client also serve to define their roles. When this is accomplished, the mental health professional can empower the client with autonomous self-directed decision-making skills, which in turn give the client the ability to make progress when he or she is not currently engaged in the therapy process."

HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, 2008.
This paper examines the role HIV/AIDS plays in the faltering efforts of Nigeria to embark upon meaningful social progress.
925 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 18.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the pervasiveness of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria and how the country is harmed socially, economically and politically by the virus. The author points out that HIV/AIDS robs the nation of Nigeria of human resources it desperately needs, takes money away from other important development projects, and can easily serve as an excuse for internal authoritarianism and persecution. The paper stresses that, until HIV/AIDS is contained and/or eradicated, Nigeria will continue to lag behind the first world.
From the Paper
"The "social progress" within Nigeria from an uncivil and tempestuous society to a civil and (relatively-speaking) stable one has not been a smoothly-unfolding phenomenon. For one thing, the country continues to be saddled with a democratic deficit and with what one observer calls an "overall absence" of appropriate social, political and economic institutions of governance; in other words, the Nigerian government remains woefully ill-prepared to tackle the many internal (and external) issues facing Nigeria."

Peasant Life and the Bubonic Plague, 2008.
An analysis of peasant life during the bubonic plague in a Medieval village.
1,095 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 22.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper a medieval village has been evaluated for class stratification, health policy, and the nature of the bubonic plague in the Middle Ages. The paper explains that by representing a fictional citizen of this town, one can begin to understand the lack of medical science and policy initiatives that eventually led to a wide spread epidemic in medieval society. The paper then analyzes the various aspects of the bubonic plague within this study of life in a medieval town during the year 1349. The paper also explores how, by being unaware of the nature of the disease and its symptoms, medieval communities were annihilated by a lack of quarantine policies that would have prevented more infections.
From the Paper
"The issue of class hierarchy in our town makes virtual servants or "vassals" to our Lord or landowner on the hill. We make sure to farm the local area to provide food for our Lord, and he--in return--makes sure that we are protected with his various knights from other landowners. Also, the Church is prominent in our town, and we have the local clergy on a neighboring hill--making sure that prayers are being said to remove the plague from our village. However, although a peasant--like myself--might view the Roman Catholic Church as an institution that would help the poor and suffering, the clergy have monastic retreats in the countryside, in which, they do nothing to help solve our medical dilemma."

From the Paper
"Bones also have a degree of toughness and elasticity that are required by their function. An examination of a bone structure will reveal that it is made up of two types of tissue. The first type of tissue is located on the external side and it is dense in texture and it is called compact tissue. The second type located internally is made up of thin fibres and lamellae, which are joined to form a lattice like reticular structure called cancellous tissue."

Abstract
This paper analyzes "Caring Science and the Science of Unitary Human Beings: A Trans-theoretical Discourse for Nursing Knowledge Development" by J. Watson M.

The paper discusses the results of the survey and provides recommendations for a transtheoretical approach to teaching nursing models.
Table of Contents:
Results
Analysis
Recommendations
Summary
From the Paper
"The following are the top five leaning needs and recommendations for this contingent. There is a need to revise the BSN curriculum to create a transtheoretical approach to teaching nursing models, which specifically involves integrating more prominently the nursing theory teachings of Jean Watson, particularly for integrated use in clinical instruction and practice (Watson & Smith, 2002; Morgan, 2006). Thus a timeline must be established in order to accommodate the main activities of the curriculum revision: Content development for instructors, instructor tutorial proper, assessment and further content refinement for classroom instruction and preparation of materials for classroom instruction. Given the timeline for 2008, this must be done at the soonest convenient time."

Abstract
This paper uses various economic tools to discuss hospital operations relative to length of stay metrics. The paper concludes that hospitals can increase operating profits and margins by reducing length of stay strategically as a method to funnel patients to higher margin outpatient and diagnostic services.
Table of Contents:
Abstract
Overview
Analysis
Outcome
From the Paper
"Another economic model that can be applied to community hospital operations is a demand curve which reveals at what point LOS decrease is most effective relative of hospital services usage rates overall. This is an important metric in hospital operations because in order to achieve and sustain profitability a hospital must elevate its use of services across the board including outpatient care and general medical visitations as opposed to relying fully on occupied hospital beds. This graph indicates at which occupancy rates LOS can be maximized squared by the number of overall patient admittances over a 6 month period."

Bulimia Nervosa, 2008.
This paper is a teaching plan for nurses to address the problem of bulimia nervosa, especially during pregnancy.
770 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 9 sources, APA, £ 15.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that education on bulimia nervosa is important for nurses because bulimia threatens the long-term health of newborns and mothers. The author relates that, at the end of the teaching session, the client will be able to understand the concerns that are raised by bulimic behavior during pregnancy, the difference between reasonable steps to control weight gain during and after pregnancy and risk-prone bulimic behavior, the range of resources and the negative perception given bulimic behavior. The paper stresses that, in pregnant women, bulimia can cause cardiac compromise to the fetus. The author underscores that the unique component of the teaching plan is its emphasis on the anti-social aspects of bulimia.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Review of the Literature-
Teaching Project Objectives
Teaching Material
The Creative Element
From the Paper
"Bowers remains a classic overview of bulimia nervosa. Bowers has followed up his suggestions on cognitive therapy with a study on the use of medications to enhance outcomes of such therapies. Other studies have found eating present in pre-adolescents. The supposed genetic component has now been dismissed. Recent studies give a cue to addressing the problem: Bulimia carries social costs. It is perceived in a very negative light."
