Step 1- Annotated Bibliography:  At the top of the paper, you will write out your thesis, which should include (1) the topic you chose to write on, (2) the position you plan to take on that issue, and (3) three major arguments you plan to use to support your position. You also need to find 7 sources, 4 of which are scholarly (remember that the other 3 still need to be legitimate), and list them in either APA or MLA format. For the annotations, you need to have two or three sentences for each source explaining the article and how it will be applied in your paper. Remember that proper formatting is important. Use the OWL at Purdue website for help with formatting.
just concentrate on step onr for now but have the side note still in mind 
Side not:  In the paper, you will make arguments that support your position, as well as identify and assess possible counterarguments and rebuttals to these counterarguments. As a conclusion, you should consider possible solutions to the dilemma you present. Remember not to get hung up on the legal or scientific aspects of the case. Your primary concern needs to be the ethics.
This will be a multistep process, with smaller assignments being submitted and evaluated at various due dates.

Purpose 
To create a resource to assist in harm minimisation for pharmacists
Task details
Pharmacists have a vital role in the education of patients about harm minimisation – in the past, pharmacists may overestimate their knowledge of illicit drugs or fail to counsel patients in a culturally safe way. There is also a wide range of excellent resources for users of drugs but the uptake of these resources can be limited.
I want you to create some form of resource for users of drugs to assist with harm minimisation. You have full creative control of what kind of form you would like this resource to be – it could be a presentation, a poster, a video, a written file or anything that you think would be relevant for your target market.
Instructions
For this case study, I would like you to demonstrate your knowledge and ability to translate the complex scientific concepts that you have learned in this subject and distil them into a form that is palatable for a target market (I suggest that this would be one drug and one usage level according to schaffers model, but if you could target specific audiences such as LGTBIQ+, ethnic groups or some other market that would be great, and if you want to cover multiple drugs then go for it).
You can work in groups but please make the work equivalent to about 10-minutes of video per person, or 1000-1500 words. 
Please follow the rubric for the best ideas.

You are required to submit a 3000-wordessaythat presents a study protocol for a research project including rationale, study objectives, design, methodology, ethical considerations and dissemination of results in a given health related area. 
You should choose from the area of environment and health or climate change and health for this assessment. Please see these two sources for guidance on topic examples. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/climate-change-and-health 
And https://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/environment-and-health 
Imagine you are presenting your study protocol for a committee that is giving funding for research. As such, you should aim in writing the present assignment in a report style format, with the following subheadings: research question, rationale, study objectives, study design, methodology, ethical considerations, and dissemination of results.
You work will need to include the following points:
Write a PICO research question in an area that is under-researched or that has not been investigated by previous research in that area. This should be a focussed question reflecting a relatively small-scale study.              (10 marks)
Give a short, concise rationale for the research question (10 Marks)
State the study objectives and/or hypothesis. Objectives should be SMART and match your research question.(10 Marks)

Explain clearly and logically the study methodology. This should include how data will be collected, what will be measured and how the data will be processed and analysed.(15 Marks)
Outline key ethical considerations in your study and what you will do to ensure safety and minimise harm. These need to be specifically linked to your chosen study methodology, and must consider all areas of the study.(15 Marks)
Give suggestions for how you will disseminate any findings, and say who these will be disseminated to. This should include how findings will reach both practitioners, participants and other interested parties relevant to your researchand what format would be best for dissemination.(15 Marks)
The submitted work should follow appropriate academic conventions i.e. spelling/grammar/referencing.(10 Mark

Criminal Background Checks and Future (Potential) Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). 
EMS criminal background checks are currently mandated in 46 states. Read the following newspaper articles regarding EMTs with prior criminal histories. When the EMTs were certified, Illinois (Chicago’s first article) required criminal background checks before EMS certification and Iowa (Hawarden’s second article) did not. Discuss how the EMTs’ situations differ and how their prior criminal history affects their duties and patient care.
Here are the links for the cases related to the essay:

Chapters that need to be covered
The following are the chapters that need to be covered:
Chapter 4: Single-Gene Inheritance
Chapter 6: Matters of Sex
Chapter 8: Genetics of Behavior
Chapter 13: Chromosomes
Chapter 18: The Genetics of Identity
Get Into Action: The Hardcore Instructions
Step 1 – Select a question to answer per chapter.
For each chapter, select one of the questions below. It can be a different question for each chapter:
1. What didn’t you know that you now know?
2. What is your favorite concept of this chapter?
3. What was the most shocking topic of this chapter?
Step 2 – Answer the question.
Please answer the question as you would explain it to a friend or family. Don’t answer like, “My favorite topic is autosomal dominance.” Nope. That’s to guide your post. It should look like “Autosomal dominance is…”, “Autosomal dominance has…”, or “Have you ever wondered/thought why/what/how…” Therefore, you must explain the concept.
Option 1: 300-character limit of your explanation.
Option 2: Create a 100-character, very catchy title for the post’s front slide and a 700-character limit explanation for the post’s caption. It can’t miss the title or full points off!
Everything is a limitation of characters, including spaces!
And you can mix: some chapters with option 1, the others with option 2, or all option 1, or all option 2. It’s up to you.
Step 3 – One document
One document for all answers. Please add a heading to identify the chapter.

Dosage calculations determine the amount of medication to give a patient. This could include the number of pills, teaspoons, ounces, or milliliters necessary to achieve the desired effect. Beyond the individual dose, math is used to determine how much should be dispensed for a prescription.
Medical Assistants often are the relay between the physician and the pharmacy regarding prescriptions and dosing.
To Post:
Which types of calculations do you think are most important for Medical Assistants? Why?
What is the most challenging part of dosage calculations for you?
What is the least challenging part of dosage calculations for you?

Using what you learned in both the HPI/ROS/PE lectures, try your hand at these two examples. You are expected to do a full SOAP note! The Assessment/Plan sections are pretty straight forward and you can peek ahead in your chapter for some guidance. Both scenarios are video-based and you’ll need to practice taking notes in real time. 
It is suggested that you use a similar template to the file below to organize your note. Delete entries as needed to accommodate your clinical scenario.
Question 1

Question 2

Main Instruction: In Unit 3 you chose the chronic disease you wish to research further, and wrote a rough draft of your introductory paragraph. In the Unit 5 learning activity you will be preparing an annotated bibliography, which must include at least three professional references that you plan to use to research your Unit 8 assignment.
FYI: This is the rough draft of the introductory paragraph: 
People all over the world are
affected by hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. This happens when
the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high, putting
stress on the heart. It’s also called the “silent killer” since it
doesn’t usually cause or show symptoms in the beginning. Leaving it untreated
can lead to heart disease, strokes, and kidney problems. Bad diet, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle have been linked to the causes of hypertension. In some
cases, prescription medication may be needed to treat hypertension. Lifestyle
changes which include a healthy diet, regular exercise, reduction of stress,
and stress management may also help to manage it. It’s important to know about
high blood pressure, how it affects our health, and be careful in our lifestyle
to prevent or handle it to stay healthy.
