This Assignment expands upon the work you have been conducting for this week’s Discussion. For this Assignment (which you will start this week, and submit by the end of Week 7), you will conduct a search for literature on your selected practice problem. A Literature Review Matrix template will be used to identify gaps in the literature.

To prepare:

• Consider the practice problem you addressed in this week’s Discussion. (You may select a new issue if necessary, but it is not recommended.)
• Review the guidelines in the Literature Review Matrix, included in the Learning Resources. Formulate a research question around your issue as indicated in Part I. Then complete Part II of the Matrix, identifying the resources you will use, search terms and criteria, and Boolean search strings.
• Using the Walden Library, locate 10 articles related to your research question. At least one article must be a systematic review. All of the articles should be primary sources. NOTE: If appropriate, you may use the four articles you reviewed for this week’s Discussion.

By Day 7 of Week 7

• Complete Part I and Part II of the Literature Review Matrix template.
• Begin working on Part III.

DISCUSSION:

Practice Problem: Healthy eating and healthy lifestyles to combat obesity and reduce chronic illnesses.

The literature strengthens the theoretical framework and the practical problem by providing evidence to the elements of self-efficacy. The articles explain the different ways in which self-efficacy plays a central role in analyzing changes in social behavior. Models included in the description of the theoretical framework strengthen the main points. Health Belief Model (HBM) was one of the first models that adapted theories from behavioral sciences to predict health behaviors: HBM explained health behavior in terms of several constructs: perceived susceptibility of the health problem, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and cues to action (McEwen & Wills, 2017). The practice problem is evident in statistical literature that shows the high number of people suffering from obesity and other chronic diseases. The article outlines the reasons that cause obesity and other chronic disorders concerning social behavior (Weld, 2008).

The three levels of evidence included in the articles that make up the literature are II, III, and IV. The articles focus om giving recommendations towards attaining a clinical solution for the problem. The most prevalent level of confidence is the IV because the literature considers options from the articles to conclude. The causes of obesity and chronic diseases rely on published theories and models as the source of evidence. Level IV type of proof refers to one that relies on researched and published literature to conclude (Stephens et al., 2015). The opinion of the audience counts in the identified theoretical framework and practical problem. Patient preference in this case of obesity and healthy living based on self-efficacy presents a substantial role that influences the model. In the article, SET provides a dietary behavior change aimed at reducing the number of obesity patients. The level II, III, and IV evidence provide recommendations concerning the results and barriers and employed in the social cognitive theory to influence dietary changes (Sook & Sohn, 2019).

In The systematic review article, peer-reviewed articles with dates of 2000 or higher were utilized for the study seeking participants 18 years or older who were searching to lose weight. After conducting the study, the article supported the self-efficacy theory. In practical and simple terms, enhancing confidence and competence about a given health behavior appears to be helpful in overcoming barriers – namely in initial stages of adoption – and is often the first step (Teixeria et al., 2019).

1) The main types of communication include verbal (spoken), non-verbal (bodily), written, and    graphical    communication.

2) The communication cycle refers to the sending and receiving of messages. It is a two-way process in which one person gives a message and another person responds to it. It is a cycle because the process repeats itself.

3)A care practitioner needs to be an effective verbal communicator to: – respond to service users’ questions and distressed feelings – take a clinical history or ask assessment questions – make contributions to and run team meetings – provide support to a service user’s relatives or friends – communicate with children – communicate with people with hearing or speech impairment – overcome second-language problems – deal with problems and complaints about care.

4) A care practitioner needs to develop effective reading and writing skills to: – write records, notes and statements about policy and procedure – communicate by email and letter between the staff of care organisations – plan and document the care that they provide – evaluate their plans – write reports and referral records.

Pinto Case Study

Directions: Please submit your assignment as a PDF on Blackboard. You can use this word

document as a template for answering the homework questions. Use concepts and definitions

discussed in the text to answer the questions.

Minimum length – 1 page

1. How would you classify Ford’s legal and moral responsibility and why? (Intentional,

Reckless or Negligent or a combination of the three)

2. How did Ford as a Corporation act as a Moral Agent with their decision to produce the

Pinto?

3. Do you think it was appropriate for Ford to use the data presented in the case study to

make their decision? If not, what other test/approach could Ford have used instead of the

Utilitarian Cost/Benefit Test?

4. What responsibility do you as an engineer have in a decision like this?

Submit your geology project thesis and outline by the end of this week. (Refer to your original project assignment in Week 02, which provides a model outline.) Your thesis or hypothesis, the concept that you are interested in testing, should be provided as a sentence at the beginning of your outline. I’m attaching my previous project on the topic I chose, which is Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. Perhaps the concept we can test is how these Diamonds compare with diamonds of the world or something to that effect. I’m not that great at coming up with a great thesis. Also, if you take this project I’ll be working with you weekly until the final paper so I hope that is ok. Thanks!
