1. Differential diagnoses must be considered before choosing a final diagnosis.
2. What criteria must be met before a final diagnosis can be made?
3. Give an example of three differential diagnoses for a patient who complains of a sore throat.
4. Support your differential diagnoses with a brief statement of reason. You do not have to have a final diagnosis for this patient; just work up the differential diagnoses. This is a common complaint for many patients. PLEASE GIVE QUESTION A SUB HEADING.
Research Question
First, read the handout titled “Research Question.” Note the difference between a research TOPIC and a research QUESTION: a topic is a general area of interest, whereas a research question is a specific, focused, arguable question that guides your research. A research question should not have an obvious answer, but should force you to make an original claim. The thesis of your research essay should answer your research question. For your discussion post this week, please brainstorm 2-3 possible research questions that might emerge from your research topic. After sharing your questions, reflect on whether each question is specific, focused, and arguable. You may also wish to reflect on how your research question relates to other research within your field/discipline, and what sources you may need to find to answer each question.

ASSIGNMENT Case study:
A multitude of different social, economic and cultural factors determine a person’s health. This means that people living in the same community, or people of the same age, can have vastly different chances of good health.Instinctively you might think that access to health services is the biggest factor in determining health. However, many other things significantly affect our likelihood of good health. It can also be easy to blame individuals for their poor health, or congratulate others for good health, yet in reality many of the determinants of health are out of our own personal control. Underlying these broad factors is a much deeper level of structural causes, which are more difficult to change.
John is 30 years old and has a history of asthma, diabetes, is a smoker and has been overweight for most of his adult life. He lives with his wife and 3 children on a council estate housing which is overcrowded. Often he is unable to pay for the electrical bill and provide food for his family. His wife and children are overweight and they suffer from asthma. John is due to go back to his country as his visa to remain in this country will expire soon. He recently went to the GP after not visiting the GP for 2 years about a minor complaint, and as a matter of course his blood pressure was taken. Much to his surprise, it was above what was considered acceptable. His doctor started him on medication because his high blood pressure was high enough to warrant immediate action.
His blood pressure dropped, but unfortunately he still did not change his lifestyle and did not take his medication as scheduled. John is unemployed for the past 2 years and receives unemployment benefits so he does not have very much disposable income. John subsequently became depressed and lacks energy. He returned to his GP, who sent him to a Health and Wellbeing Clinic to check his blood pressure and to seek advice from health professionals who would give him advice on how to better control his blood pressure, diabetes and overweight. At the clinic he was given advice on how to change his lifestyle, which included reducing salt in his diet. However, due to cultural factors, socioeconomic factors, he struggled to eat proper meals and he did not follow any of the advice given and his blood pressure and diabetes remained a cause for concern.
A high blood pressure awareness campaign targeting Caribbean, West African and White middle-aged men living in his area tried to raise awareness to prompt positive behaviour change. However, in John’s community according to the Public Health England website, it showed even after the high blood pressure awareness campaign the level of high blood pressure in these group of men remained the same.
Task 1: LO1 Understand the socioeconomic influences on health (up to 750 recommended words) What you must do Using the case study as a backdrop to your answers, create an information pack that addresses the following:(70 Words for Introduction)
1.1 Explain the effects of socio-economic influences on health.
1.2 Asses the relevance of government resources in reporting on inequalities in health in relation to the case study. Include complex problems using Acheson Report, Black report, Census data and other reports were synthesised and processed when assessing the relevance of those resources in reporting inequalities in health.
1.3 Discuss the reason for barriers to accessing health care (give example of positive and negatives scenarios). Only use UK literature.

Imagine that you are planning to conduct a mission trip in 5 years. You should select a specific mission for this project to provide some kind of humanitarian aid to the target population. Many people choose to include evangelism as a part of their mission, though the main goal must be humanitarian. The mission goal may include providing education, medical assistance, clean water, food, or aid.
To keep your mission reasonable, in scale and goal, design your mission to include yourself and 5 – 10 other participants and to be 2 – 4 weeks in duration. Because the mission group is small and the duration is not long, consider goals that can reasonably be accomplished within the allotted time. Choose a small target population for your mission. For example, if you want to bring medicine to two small villages in Peru, the villagers are your target population. It is not reasonable to try to bring medicine to the entire population of Peru with a small group of missionaries on a month long trip.
Choose three countries from the Country Data Spreadsheet provided in the Course Materials that you would consider going to for your mission trip. Research each country using The World Factbook found on the Central Intelligence Agency website at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/, other resources such as the U.S. Department of State website at http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english.html, and the GCU Library. Consider economic reasons for choosing these countries, and safety concerns that may be relevant to these countries and your mission goals. Remember that you would not go alone on this trip and you are responsible for the safety of the other participants, in addition to your own.
Write a 400–600 word narrative describing your mission and why the three chosen countries are appropriate for your mission. Specifically, address the following in your assignment:
1) What is the purpose of your mission trip? In general, mission trips fall into three categories – providing aid in the form of supplies, providing education, and providing services such as medical clinics and building houses.
2) What is the target population? How does it compare with the entire population and what will it look like in 5 years? This will require use of the population information available from The World Factbook in conjunction with the information in Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of the text.
You are required to discuss your target population and its projected size in 5 years. This material is covered on pp. 480 – 483. Assume that the annual growth rate of the target population is the same as that of the country’s total population growth rate and that it will remain consistent at the most recent rate available. Show your work for all calculations using the Equation Editor in Microsoft Word.
Example: Suppose you have $39,815.00 invested at 8% APR over 5 years and the interest is compounded once per year. The formula for the final value of your investment from p. 216 of your textbook gives
This is how your math should be formatted. See Part B instructions for other examples.
While this is a fun project, the goal is to assess the mathematics you are learning, so you must include your calculations, make sure they are correct and clearly written.
3) What are the economic reasons for choosing these countries? Use economic information you find in The World Factbook and other resources.
4) Why are the countries you chose are good candidates for a mission trip?
5) What are possible safety concerns that might arise in conjunction with your trip? Conduct additional research as necessary to address this concern. The U.S. State Department website is one source of information.
6) Include a paragraph in which you decide which one of the three countries to choose to complete the mission. Apply logical reasoning to make your choice. The logic you use in making these decisions must be clearly explained. Explain why that country is a more appropriate candidate than the other two countries.
Include three or more scholarly resources, including the textbook and The World Factbook.
