Is woman mainly subordinated to her male counterparts or does she exert some degree of power or agency?

Instructions
Develop a well-detailed essay of 4-5 paragraphs on ONE of the topics listed below.  Don’t forget to review the guidelines for How to Succeed in the Written Assignments and the Sample paper in MLA format, and take advantage of the Smarthinking tutorial services before submitting your essay to the Assignment submission folder.  All writing assignments have Turnitin enabled for plagiarism detection.1. In Book 9 of Paradise Lost, Milton makes the claim that his story of the fall from Eden and Adam and Eve’s recovery is “Not less but more heroic” (14) than any of his epic predecessors.  Make the case for two of the following to represent a new kind of hero:  Sundiata, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, Adam and Eve.  Although not required, referring to some of the heroes that we have studied would be useful.2.  Deception figures largely in Popul Vuh and Paradise Lost.  Compare and contrast Milton’s Satan and the Mayan twins use of deception.  How do they differ?  What makes their trickery so successful?  Although not required, referring to some of the other deceivers that we have studied would be useful (to give just one example, some of the deceivers and traitors found in Dante’s Inferno).3. Discuss the role of women in Sundiata.  Compare and contrast its treatment of women with the depiction of women in Popul Vuh, Paradise Lost, and/or any of the previous epics that we have studied.  Is woman mainly subordinated to her male counterparts or does she exert some degree of power or agency?4.  Mortality, the inescapable truth of death, looms large in all three epics.  The Mayan twins die as part of their plan to rid the underworld of dark forces; Sundiata loses his mother Sogolon and must struggle to gain her proper burial; and, of course, Adam and Eve introduce death, not only of themselves but generations of human beings to come.  Despite this powerful presence of mortality in the epics, something positive emerges from these confrontations with death.  Define that positive development and how it arises from (or triumphs over?) its encounter with death.  Choose at least two of the epics for your essay.Be sure to save the assignment in .doc, .docx, or PDF format.

Off-Label Drug Use In Pediatrics

Off-Label Drug Use in Pediatrics

The unapproved use of approved drugs, also called off-label use, with children is quite common. This is because pediatric dosage guidelines are typically unavailable since very few drugs have been specifically researched and tested with children.

When treating children, prescribers often adjust dosages approved for adults to accommodate a child’s weight. However, children are not just “smaller” adults. Adults and children process and respond to drugs differently in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Children even respond differently during stages from infancy to adolescence. This poses potential safety concerns when prescribing drugs to pediatric patients. As an advanced practice nurse, you have to be aware of safety implications of the off-label use of drugs with this patient group.

To prepare:

· Review the Panther et al (2017) and Corney, Lebel, Bailey, and Bussieres (2015) articles in the Learning Resources. Reflect on situations in which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use.

· Think about strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Consider specific off-label drugs that you think require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.

With these thoughts in mind:

Write Include sub headings plz. And purpose of writing.

· an explanation of circumstances under which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use. 

· Then, describe strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence.

·  Include descriptions and names of off-label drugs that require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.

· Case Study

Read the following case study:

Best Hospital is a 325-bed suburban community hospital that has just merged with a local major academic medical center, the University of Excellence Medical Center (UEMC). There are 15 hospitals in the UEMC system, ranging from small rural hospitals with 50 or fewer beds to large multiple-specialty tertiary referral hospitals. Two hospitals in the system have achieved magnet status and several hospitals are working to achieve this status. Within the UEMC system, a high value is placed on collaboration with the schools of the health professions at the University of Excellence (UE).

Best Hospital has a long history of association with local universities, functioning mainly as a site for student clinical experiences. For example, undergraduate students enrolled at the UE College of Health Professions often complete a portion of their clinical work at the hospital. Each year the hospital hires a number of graduates from this program. Several nurses in first-level management positions at the hospital are enrolled in the master’s program.

The vice-president for clinical practice at Best Hospital is a PhD-prepared nurse who has been appointed to the faculty at the UE School of Nursing. Your current position is director of staff development at Best Hospital. You are responsible for the educational programming of all clinical staff. Over the past 2 years, Best Hospital has been fully involved in meeting Meaningful Use criteria. As director of staff development, you have played the major leadership role in developing and implementing all related educational programs.

The health professional schools at UE are working together to revise their curricula to integrate informatics throughout. The goal is to develop an interprofessional approach that incorporates informatics across and throughout the different educational programs within these schools. The schools have requested a meeting with clinical leaders from the hospital to gain a practical perspective on what information should be included in the curricula. The vice-president for clinical practice has included you on the list of leaders to attend the meeting. She asked that each person attending the meeting prepare a short presentation on how they engage their staff in the continuous education process with respect to ever-changing healthcare technology.
