Reflect upon two concepts that you learned in this course.

· What is the importance of these concepts to public health? How will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?

Reflection is a mental process that challenges you to use critical thinking to examine the course information, analyze it carefully, make connections with previous knowledge and experience, and draw conclusions based on the resulting ideas. A well-cultivated critical thinker raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems. (Paul & Elder, 2008)
In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be sure to support your statements, cite sources properly, cite within the text of your comments, and list your reference(s). The response must be a minimum of 250 words.

What purpose does consideration serve? What are the proper limits on the doctrine of consideration?
In reading the first 3 chapters of the textbook, you’ve had a chance to learn a lot about how and when contracts are created. However, for as much as you learned how and when contracts are created, you have not had to think much about a bigger question: why are contracts created? One legal scholar, Professor C. Scott Pryor, has endeavored to describe a biblical worldview approach to evaluating an important contract law doctrine you’ve just learned about, the doctrine of consideration as a basis for enforcing contracts.
The first section of his article, which you were assigned this week, discusses the “preliminary groundwork” necessary for answering 2 questions:
- What purpose does consideration serve?
- What are the proper limits on the doctrine of consideration?
Professor Pryor’s preliminary groundwork takes the form of 3 doctrines and 3 perspectives for answering those questions.
Each of the 3 perspectives suggests why promises should be enforced and some limits to when they should be enforced. Provide a summary of all 3 of the assigned portions of the Article’s perspectives. After your summary, choose 1 of those 3 perspectives and discuss why that perspective might provide an appropriate limit on the courts’ power to enforce some contracts. Last, at the end of your discussion, write a short hypothetical fact pattern that you have created where consideration exists between 2 parties, but the perspective you choose suggests that courts should not enforce the contract.

he Women’s Health Initiative article
This paper addresses the following instructions:
For over 20 years, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study has conducted research trials to examine factors that impact risks and development of conditions that impact women such as heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. Health care providers use results from these trials to develop guidelines for delivering care to patients. In your role in clinical settings, you must be familiar with these guidelines, and you must be aware that through clinical practice, guidelines frequently evolve and change. Often, what is considered a best practice today might not be a best practice in the future. For this Assignment, you compare guidelines outlined in the WHI study to current best practices for assessing and managing conditions. To prepare:
•Review the Women’s Health Initiative article in this week’s Learning Resources.
Select one disorder presented in this study.
Locate and select a research article that addresses current best practices for assessing and managing the disorder you selected. Be sure that the research article you select is from a reputable source.
•Consider the similarities and differences between the best practices presented in the WHI study and the article you selected. Think about the potential impact of differences in best practices on women’s health.
•Consider whether the best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice.
To complete: Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
•Describe the disorder you selected from the Women’s Health Initiative study.
•Explain the current best practices for assessing and managing this disorder as suggested in the research article you selected.
•Compare the best practices presented in the WHI study to the current best practices presented in the article. Explain how the differences in best practices might impact women’s health.
•Explain whether you think the current best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice. Support your position with evidence-based research. Note: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references.

The Practical Role Of Policy-Describe the health care issue you selected. Explain why this issue is important, in terms of access, affordability, quality, and safety
What has health policy done for me lately?
Developing health care policy is often an exercise in balancing competing interests, many of them political. Policy is often the product of elaborate negotiations between many interested parties. It is sometimes difficult for individuals to see the connection between health care policies and their own personal health. In short, people ask, “What does health policy mean to me?”
This Application will give you an opportunity to delve a little deeper into the practical role of policy, by examining a health policy issue that is of particular interest to you.
To prepare for this Application, select an acute or chronic health issue (such as motorcycle accident-related head trauma or type 2 diabetes) that is of interest to you. Using credible websites, research this issue to analyze a key policy related to the health issue you selected. Select at least three articles about the policy to use in your paper.
To complete this Application, write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:
- Describe the health care issue you selected. Explain why this issue is important, in terms of access, affordability, quality, and safety.
- Identify a health policy that is related to the health issue you selected. Explain its intended purpose and indicate the source of the policy (i.e., state law, federal law, accreditation organization, etc.)
- Cite and summarize the articles you selected.
- Analyze what the literature says about the impact of the policy, in terms of cost, affordability, access, quality, and safety.
Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from scholarly sources, as appropriate. ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct.
