His nutrition status was somewhat difficult to determine as a weight was not provided due to the patient not being able to get on a scale. However, his blood work was taken on the prior visit and his albumin level was 2.8 on a scale of 3.4-5.4 g/dL and his pre albumin was 18 on a scale of 19-38 mg/dL.

    When we fail to comply with certain standards, which are put in place by society we are often shunned from those who choose to comply with these values. After observing different social settings as well as the expected behavior in those settings I choose to focus my attention on ordering etiquette in fast food restaurants. In each of the fast food restaurants I observed in both the Hub and along downtown East College Avenue I noticed three elements of expected behavior. The first was to place an order to your cashier in first person. The second, consumers were expected to pay for their purchases.…

    1. This article relates to my practicum project because it gives an overview of what biometric screenings are and how annual biometric screenings are important to participate in, especially if your job provides the screenings for its employees. Biometric screenings give individuals lab results that they wouldn’t get at a regular doctor’s office visit unless the doctor suspected the individual to have a problem with their health.

    In the article “How do you learn to walk? Thousands of steps and dozens of falls per day”, experimental research was done to find an answer to how infants learn to walk. Previous research was conducted on this topic, but it did not show anything about how much or how far infants walk, how often they fall, what makes them continue walking after falling, and how these abilities change with development. Researchers have simply focused on the structure of postures from a crawling to an upright walking position and the regular steps of infants on open grounds where they have to use natural locomotion, or the natural ability to move. This process is known as periodic gait.…

    The waist circumference will be measured by finding the right ilium and marking the site at the mid-axillary plane (CDC, 2007). Using measuring tape, one will measure the circumference from the right ilium around to the left ilium. The tape will remain parallel to the floor, and it will not compress the skin. The waist-hip ratio will be calculated by taking the value from the waist circumference measurement and dividing it by the measurement of the hip circumference. The hip circumference will be measured twice by using measuring tape around the largest circumference of the buttocks while maintaining the tape parallel to the floor (World Health Organization, 2011).…
