INTRODUCTION Attention Getter: Can you imagine your life if your memories and cognition slowly started deteriorating?

In this context, Claassen [18] believes that most people with a family history of a disease have at least some beliefs and knowledge about their own risk of developing that particular disease. According to the Self-Regulation Model, these beliefs generate a cognitive-emotional model of one’s own risk of disease or of illness representations by means of which individuals process information and act. The results of a study conducted on women with no history of cancer show that the perceived risk of breast cancer is associated with the type of cancer found in first-degree relatives and with the relationship of the subject to the family member affected by cancer (mother, sister, or both mother and sister); women with a history of breast cancer on the mother`s side recorded an increase in the number of mammograms in the past 6 years, compared to the women with no history of breast cancer on the mother's

On this day, I had my first surgery, and it was a tonsillectomy.                        Two weeks before the surgery, I was sick. I couldn’t sleep at night and my days were miserable. I was forced to take medicines that were just some bitter liquids for me. They didn’t make the pain stop as the doctor

Kaakinen et al. (2015) states that approaching family as a client is centered on each individual family members well-being that create the sum of a family. An example of this approach is well demonstrated by my family’s primary care provider (PCP). My mother, father, sister, and I all routinely see the same primary care provider. Near the end of 2014 my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in early 2015 my father was diagnosed with colon cancer.

Family theories have been used throughout the history of nursing to help guide patient care and provide the best patient outcomes. Certain theories may be more applicable to the specific patient encounter; however, each theory has benefits and drawbacks to their use. The purpose of this paper is to examine two selected theories, comparing their strengths and weaknesses. I will also discuss a theoretical family in relation to one theory, and how that theory can be best integrated into the care provided by an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN). Description of Theories

Thus, disease representations, particularly the cognitive ones, can be predictors of responses to health threats that determine different health behaviors (Shiloh, 2009; Kaphingst, 2009). Age, family history of cancer and worry about the disease are factors associated with the use of screening for cancer ( Anagnostopoulos, 2012; Lifford, 2012). At the same time, the disease representation can cause, according to Cameron (2006), an irrational behavior or abandon of screening for cancer or the preservation of an unhealthy behaviour. For example, smokers who believe that the cause of cancer is a modified gene are less motivated to quit this unhealthy behavior and, instead, they exhibit an unrealistic optimism about their health and worry about cancer (Shiloh, 2009; Bradbury, 2009; Kaphingst, 2009; Hauwel,

The first one, it may limit people’s choices. For example, if through genetic screening one is proven to have a hereditary cardiovascular disease, one must be wise enough to avoid doing everything that triggers heart attack. Thus, this may affect one’s social life greatly. It is possible that insurance companies will also charge people that is proven to have bigger tendency in suffering from a disease with bigger amount of money than the ones who are not. The certainty people get through genetic screening can also lead to discrimination in the society.

Gall bladder cancer: The rates below are based on the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis(published in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual in 2010). Incidence of gall bladder cancer is steadily rising even approaching 20% in Ganga belt region.

4.1) HEALTH PROBLEMS: 4.1.1) Heart Diseases The cause of the heart diseases can came from many factors. Sometimes the danger factor is family history. Those with parents or close relatives with heart disease are more likely to develop it themselves.

This made it so much more difficult to come to terms with his death. The cloud of grief did not pass quickly and, to this day, I can still remember being in floods of tears at the funeral. There I was, sitting on my mum 's knee, tears streaming down my face, feeling as though nobody else cared as much as I because I was the only one in hysterics. In retrospect, I can see that everyone in the

Many biological parents may think their children only want to know them or meet them for silly reasons. Honestly, most children just need some information about their medical history. Children may need that information to know if there are any medical issues than run in the family or may just simply need to know what has gone on in the

The question of whether or not children should be vaccinated has being in the minds or parents for quite a long time and parents in California will no longer be able to make that decision. California legislature has passed a new law that requires every child attending school to be vaccinated. The only exception to this rule will be for medical reasons, not religious or personal reasons. Parents are now questioning whether or not California lawmakers have the authority to have a say in their children lives. Although it may seem as if California lawmakers are trying to control your child’s life, vaccines do have significant benefits.

AA adults have the highest mortality rate from DM in individuals less than seventy years of age than other ethnic groups (Tancredi, et al., 2015). In 2010, diabetes mellitus has caused the deaths of 69,071 people in the United States with total percentage deaths of all males (48.2%) and females (51.4%). In 2013, their mortality rate accounted for 21.2 deaths per 100,000 populations (CDC, 2015). This alarming statistics have proven that AA adults at risk for T2DM are in a greater need for EB interventions that will be championed by the advanced practice nurses

The CDC abortion surveillance reports that in 2013, a total of 664,435 legal practiced abortions were recorded from their 49 reporting centers. The rate for the same year was 12.5 per 1000 women with the ages 15-44 years while the abortion rate at 200:1000 live births. The black women are 3.75 times more likely to terminate their pregnancy than their white counterparts. About 90% of the abortions occur in the first trimester. Since the legalization, the fatalities are still high compared to the 80s.

While, the medium house household was about $41,000 majority of teens who excessively drank was above the poverty level. In addition, $750 million in hospitalization each year and over 1 billion U.S dollars in accident related alcohol use. To put things in perspective 1 out of every 4 underage drinker has a DUI and whites have a much higher rate of accident related fatalities than hispanic and blacks. $505 million have been the result of assault regarding underage drinking and of that amount $416 million were due to domestic violence. However, majority of the $200 billion in underage drinking stems from loss of work or school
