Eating Right and Grtting Excercise in Prison
Introduction
Preventive care is the best care and one of the best methods of preventive medicine is physical activity—i.e., exercise (Loprinzi, 2015). That is because exercise keeps the body humming like a well-used vehicle: nothing gets rusty; muscles, organs, arteries, heart and lungs all work together to give the body what it needs. Can exercise alone address all health-related issues or prevent one from getting the influenza virus? No—but exercise is a good start because it can help keep the immune system operating at a high level. The body’s immune system is the first line of defense, and if it is weakened by lack of exercise, the flu virus could be far more devastating on a body. As Boergeling and Ludwig (2017) note, “the immune system needs to be delicately balanced between immune response and tolerance to protect the host from pathogens while minimizing local damage to tissues” (p. 219). Of course, making sure the immune system is strong is only half the battle. There are other steps that must be taken to ensure that the spread of disease is mitigate—especially in a prison population where civilian workers and prisoners mix. This paper will provide a plan for a maximum-security prison when a shortage of flu vaccine is identified. The plan will include a nursing intervention for each level of prevention of influenza. It will also determine who should receive the flu vaccine among civilian workers and prisoners as well as identify environmental factors that will place the prison population at high-risk.

Nursing Intervention in Disaster The possibility of occurrence of disasters is a reality. With this in mind there should be efforts made to prevent any upcoming or potentially disastrous events. These efforts are what are known as disaster prevention. Disaster prevention therefore refers to efforts put in place to ensure that adverse effects of events that are potentially disastrous are prevented even when the disaster cannot be controlled. Disaster prevention is
While intervention may not make a difference in their actual physical disease, it can make a patient more comfortable, more satisfied, and more at peace with themselves and their circumstances. Patient satisfaction is extremely important for overall patient health and in return visits for continued health care. Studies indicate if patients are dissatisfied or unhappy with their care, they may forego visits or visit another practitioner (Wrench & Booth-Butterfield,
Preventing Childhood Obesity Childhood obesity is on the rise in America and across the world. Obesity presents physical, social, and emotional complications for all sufferers. However, childhood obesity is especially concerning because the chronic conditions associated with obesity such as type II diabetes and heart disease are increasingly difficult to manage over time and today's generation of obese children is more likely to become a generation of overweight adults. According to
Infectious Disease and Nursing Interventions: In the past few years, the world has gained more awareness regarding health conditions, especially in light of the numerous changes in the environment that cause changes in the microbial population. While the awareness has increased, there are some infectious diseases that have become common in today's world. Actually, these diseases continue to spread rapidly throughout the world, which necessitates global surveillance for the emerging infections
Caring for the Elderly "Caring for elderly patients with dementia: nursing interventions" The paper is centered around identifying the challenges that people living with dementia face and how these can be handled in order to make their lives easier that it is currently. The paper therefore looks at the supportive strategies that should be employed in dealing with this group of patients. These strategies include the correct assessment process, correct problem identification
Distracting a child while their parent is treated may lessen stress for a SAD child (Hillard, 2006). Nurses may also want to incorporate preventative methods into their routines, especially if they are pediatric nurses. Encouraging work in this area has been done at Mount Sinai Hospital, where nursing departments participated in the incorporation of supportive methodology in handling children who are in treatment (Justus et al., 2006). If a child
