Needle Exchange

The incidence rate of Hepatitis C infection, the most common
blood-borne infection in the United States, has more than doubled since 2004
(Zibbell, 2018). The opioid crisis in the U.S. has largely contributed to this
increase because shared needles among injection drug users is the primary
factor in hepatitis C transmission.

Needle exchange programs allow drug users to safely exchange
used needles for little or no cost. As of 2011, 211 needle exchange programs
existed in the United States (Green, 2012) and many more have been implemented
since then.

In your post, address the following questions:

Are needle exchange programs effective at reducing
blood-borne disease transmission?

Should more state or federal government agencies set up
needle exchange facilities to help combat blood borne diseases or do they
encourage the use of drugs?

Is there a better method to help combat blood borne diseases
contracted through shared needles?

Heart Disease

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(2015), cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths in the
United States, equating to about 1 in every 4 deaths, even though CVD is
largely preventable. Recently, various studies have shown promise with stem
cell therapy treating heart disease.

Research stem cell therapy in the treatment of heart disease
and the possible promises it has as a therapy. In your post, address the
following questions.

Should science and healthcare professionals pursue this a
treatment option for heart disease? Why or why not?

What obstacles and issues would scientists need to overcome
in order for stem cell therapy to become a mainstream treatment for heart
disease?

Which types of CVD could be treated with stem cell therapy?

What kind of financial/societal impacts would stem cell
therapy have on the healthcare system?

Blood Pressure

Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels in the blood)
is associated with various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis,
stroke, and myocardial infarction. Research how hypercholesterolemia develops,
as well as its complications.

A common treatment for hypercholesterolemia is a class of
drugs called statins. In your post, address the following questions:

Are statins the best course of treatment for
hypercholesterolemia in adults? Why or why not?

Should they be prescribed to adults with
hypercholesterolemia with no evidence of heart disease?

Should teenagers be prescribed statins if they are diagnosed
with hypercholesterolemia? Why or why not?

Is there a better solution for these situations?

Vaccines & Science

The creation and implementation of vaccinations is one of
healthcare’s greatest achievements. Vaccinations have saved countless lives and
prevented the development of debilitating and life-threatening diseases such as
polio, rubella, mumps, pertussis, and measles.

Despite the success and benefits vaccinations bring to
public health, there has been a growing anti-vaccination trend with claims that
vaccinations are dangerous and/or unnecessary. Research the claims and concerns
anti-vaccination groups have and determine if there is any scientific validity
to this information. Also, research current scientific literature on
vaccinations and their overall benefits/risks to public health. Remember to use
valid and credible references.

As an individual entering into a healthcare profession, you
will need to be able to interact with patients about this issue. In your post,
address the following questions:

How would you address a patient’s concerns, fears, and/or
worries about vaccinations?

What scientific research would you utilize in your
conversations about the benefits and need for vaccinations?

Please make your initial post by midweek, and respond to at
least one other student’s post by the end of the week. Please check the Course
Calendar for specific due dates.

T21

According to the CDC, smoking “leads to disease and
disability and harms nearly every organ of the body” and “costs the United
States billions of dollars each year” (CDC, 2018). In response to these statistics and other
research, states and cities across the United States are passing laws to raise
the minimum age to purchase tobacco products from 18 years of age to 21.

Perform research on the short-term and long-term effects
that tobacco products have on teenagers and adults, along with the impact
smoking and tobacco related products have on the healthcare system.

After your research, address the following questions in your
post:

Do you think more states and cities should adopt laws and
policies to raise the minimum age to purchase tobacco products from 18 years of
age to 21?

Do these laws infringe on civil liberties and individual
personal freedom?

What else could be done to help prevent teenagers and adults
from smoking?

Are GM Foods more Nutritious?

Due to consumer demand, there is a growing trend in the
United States for food companies to have their foods be verified to contain no
GM (genetically modified) products or ingredients. Research the use of GM foods
and plants within our food supply, including their pros and cons, primary use,
and any possible health issues related to them.

In your post, address the following questions:

Are there advantages to the use of GM foods?

Is there a justifiable fear to consuming GM
foods/ingredients within our diets or are consumers overreacting? Why or why
not?

Are organic foods more nutritious and safer compared to GM
foods? Why or why not?

After your research, will you change your dietary and food
purchasing choices?

Dialysis Safety

Hemodialysis (also known as “dialysis”) is a common
treatment for patients with kidney disease. In the United States, more than
468,000 patients are on dialysis (NIH, 2018). Since 1993, hospitalization rates
related to the process of dialysis has risen between 47-87% (CDC, 2018).

Many patients seek dialysis care at outpatient facilities
that are not inspected as frequently as other healthcare facilities, like
nursing homes and hospitals. For example, in California, kidney dialysis
clinics are only inspected on average once every six years.

In your post, address the following questions:

Should kidney dialysis centers be held to the same safety
standards as other healthcare facilities?

Are current regulations for dialysis centers strong enough?

Should more frequent inspections be required?

Are there other ways to reduce the risk of infection for
dialysis patients?

Energy Drinks

Consumption of energy drinks (such as Redbull®, Monster
Energy Drink®, and Rockstar®) among children, teenagers, and young adults has
risen in the last decade. Emergency department visits relating to energy drink
consumption has also risen (Thorlton, 2014). These drinks contain various
vitamins and electrolytes, and other ingredients that alter the body’s fluid
balance.

Research the effects these energy drinks have on the body
and the complications associated with them. In your post, address the following
questions:

How do energy drinks influence the overall electrolyte and
acid-base balance of the body?

Should this multi-billion dollar industry be more highly
regulated? Why or why not?

Should energy drink companies be allowed to market these
products to children? Why or why not?

Should it be illegal to sell them to anyone under the age of
16? Why or why not?

Should these drinks have a warning label on them? Why or why
not?

Birth Control

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, most forms of birth
control are now covered by health insurance with no out-of-pocket costs, but
there are limitations. Research the various methods/techniques of birth control
and find statistical data on unplanned pregnancies across the United States and
within your state.

In your post, address the following questions:

Are you surprised by the pregnancy rates within the United
States and your state? Why or why not?

Should birth control products be free to anyone who wants to
use it?

Should birth control products, such as condoms, birth
control pills and patches, be readily available for teenagers without a
parent’s knowledge or consent? Why or why not? If so, at what age?

End of Life Care

The right-to-die is a concept stating that a patient with
terminal illness should have the choice to voluntarily end his or her life.
Some see this as a humane way to die with dignity, while others condemn this
idea.

Patients in the entire United States can currently choose to
refuse life-saving or life-extending treatments through an advanced directive,
but only a handful of states allow physician-assisted suicide. Each of these
states have enacted slightly different laws, but most allow physicians to
prescribe a lethal medication that a patient self-administers. Address the
following questions in your post.

In your opinion, should competent adults have the right to
choose physician-assisted suicide?

Should physician-assisted suicide be legal in every state?

How should we define the term “terminal illness?”
