This morning, multiple cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were identified in your hospital’s pediatric unit. RSV has the potential to spread very rapidly. The director of infection prevention met with the quality director, your manager, a few hours later. They decided to implement a quality initiative that was used by another hospital system last year when a similar identification of RSV occurred in one of their hospitals. What communication strategies would you use to get doctors and nurses to acknowledge that it is essential for them to wear their PPE?How would you customize a presentation on RSV to the public, including families of children currently in the pediatric unit?

This morning, multiple cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were identified in your hospital’s pediatric unit. RSV has the potential to spread very rapidly. The director of infection prevention met with the quality director, your manager, a few hours later. They decided to implement a quality initiative that was used by another hospital system last year when a similar identification of RSV occurred in one of their hospitals. What communication strategies would you use to get doctors and nurses to acknowledge that it is essential for them to wear their PPE?How would you customize a presentation on RSV to the public, including families of children currently in the pediatric unit?The quality director sent out a notice to all physicians and nurses on the need to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) if you are entering or near the pediatric unit, which is one of the most important parts of the quality initiative. Unfortunately, you have observed several healthcare providers not wearing any PPE while caring for RSV patients.
This discussion will help you complete your course project by learning how you can communicate information in your quality improvement report.

In your initial post, address the following:

·
What communication strategies would you use to get doctors and nurses to acknowledge that it is essential for them to wear their PPE?How would you customize a presentation on RSV to the public, including families of children currently in the pediatric unit?

·
How would you customize a presentation on RSV to the public, including families of children currently in the pediatric unit?

Select a public health issue within your community that could be impacted through programming if funded by a grant. Discuss why this health issue is a problem in your community. Identify the target population that you plan to reach in the grant program. Develop specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely (SMART) goals and objectives for the proposed program that you would like to get funded. Identify funding opportunities to determine which ones align better for the health issues selected.

analyze the basic issues of human biology as they relate to chronic conditions and describe the interaction between disability, disease, and behavior.  Examine and discuss the impact of biological health or illness on social, psychological, and physical problems from the micro, mezzo, and macro perspectives. Choose a chronic condition from those provided in your text and consider how you might feel, think, and behave differently if the condition were affecting you versus if the condition were affecting a stranger. How might you think differently about this chronic condition if it were affecting someone close to you, your neighbor, or someone in your community?

2.Our stage of life, intellectual/cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position in life, affect our perspectives and resultant behaviors about a number of conditions including cancer. Consider the information provided in the “Introduction to the Miller Family” document. Both Ella and Elías have been diagnosed with cancer. Ella has been fighting cancer with complementary and alternative methods with some success for many years. Elías, her grandson, is 10 years old and has recently been diagnosed with leukemia but has not yet begun treatment. Putting yourself in either Ella or Elías’s place, what might your perspective on your cancer be? Integrate how the stage of life, cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position of your chosen person impacts her/his perspective on his/her individual disease.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines

Using your own words, describe the difference between an experimental study, an observational study, and a comparative study. What sorts of questions are they each suited for? Give an example of each type of study from the Adaptation lecture or the textbook. 2. What is an evolutionary trade-off? Why do they occur? Give two examples. How does the occurrence of trade-offs illuminate the general question of whether all traits are adaptive?

Answer each of the following questions (10 points each; 100 points total).
1. Using your own words, describe the difference between an experimental study, an observational study, and a comparative study. What sorts of questions are they each suited for? Give an example of each type of study from the Adaptation lecture or the textbook.
2. What is an evolutionary trade-off? Why do they occur? Give two examples. How does the occurrence of trade-offs illuminate the general question of whether all traits are adaptive?
3. Males in many species often attempt to mate with strikingly inappropriate partners. Ryan (1985) describes the túngara frogs clasping other males. Some orchids mimic female wasps and are pollinated by amorous male wasps – who have to be fooled twice for the strategy to work. Would a female túngara or a female wasp make the same mistake? Why or why not? (Think of general explanations that are applicable to a wide range of species.)
4. The graphs in the figure below show the variation in lifetime reproductive success of male versus female elephant seals (Le Boeuf and Reiter, 1988). Note that the scales on the horizontal axes are different. Why is the variation in reproductive success so much more extreme in males than females? Draw a graph showing your hypothesis for the relationship between number of mates and reproductive success for male and female elephant seals. Why do you think male elephant seals are four times larger than females? Why aren’t males even bigger?

5. When a Thomson’s gazelle detects a stalking cheetah, the gazelle often begins bouncing up and down with a stiff-legged gait called stotting (see figure below). Stotting was originally assumed to be an altruistic behavior that distracts the cheetah from the gazelle’s kin and also alerts the gazelle’s kin to the presence of the predator, at considerable risk to the stotting gazelle. However, T.M. Caro (1986, 1994) reports that stotting does not seem to increase the gazelle’s risk of being attacked. In fact, once a gazelle begins to stott, the cheetah often gives up the hunt. a) If Caro is right, how does

C
(the cost of stotting) for a gazelle compare to

C
(the cost of trilling, a.k.a. alarm calls) for a Belding’s ground squirrel? b) Do you think stotting is altruistic, selfish, spiteful, or cooperative (mutualistic)? If you are not sure, what further studies could you do to answer this question?

6. With respect to mutualisms, what is “the cheater problem”?
7. What are Batesian mimicry and Müllerian mimicry?
8. After a gene is duplicated, what eventual evolutionary outcomes are possible? What is the most likely outcome?

9. Codon bias is a phenomenon whereby certain codons are substituted more often in phylogenetic lineages than other (synonymous) codons that encode the same amino acid. What might account for codon bias?

10. What is reinforcement? Is it an example of genetic drift, natural selection, or sexual selection?
