Use a fictional personal experience throughout text. should seem more as a story with an underlying message than a paper. The goal is to inform about a side but through personal and extrinsic materials.

Review the following case study and discuss the questions that follow.

JH is a 12-year-old boy diagnosed several months ago with nephrosis following postinfectious glomerulonephritis secondary to an episode of pneumococcal pneumonia. He has been coming to the clinic to have his condition monitored and therapies adjusted as needed. At his latest clinic visit, a decrease in urine output, increasing lethargy, hyperventilation, and generalized edema are noted. Trace amounts of protein are detected in JHs urine by dipstick. Blood is drawn for laboratory analysis, and the results are as follows: pH = 7.36 PaCO2 = 33 mm Hg PaO2 = 100 mm Hg HCO3 = 18 mEq/L Hct = 30% Na+ = 130 mEq/L K+ = 5.4 mEq/L BUN = 58 mg/dl creatinine = 3.9 mg/dl albumin = 2.0 g/dl

How would a pneumococcal infection lead to glomerulonephritis? How can glomerulonephritis result in nephrosis?
Use JHs laboratory values to determine if he is still experiencing nephrosis or if his condition is progressing to renal failure.
What additional physical or laboratory findings would be helpful in determining JHs degree of renal impairment?
How will JHs therapy change if his condition has progressed from nephrosis to uremia?

ESRD (end-stage renal disease) is the last stop in pathology for the kidney, and it is not a place we want a patient to be. However, there are many ways to intervene before a patient gets to this stage. Please visit the National Kidney Foundation website (www.kidney.org) and pick one best practice you can share with your patients to promote kidney health. Please share that practice with the class, and why you chose it.

The period of World War I produced an extraordinary amount of excellent poetry, especially given its relatively short time-span.

Search for and find two World War I poems and describe them. Explain what the poems tell you about the war, and how people viewed the war, and the world the war was creating. Please include the poems with your response. In your writing, some things that you could analyze include: the contributions of the American Expeditionary Force, or the impact of the new technological innovations described in the poems such as machine guns, airplanes, tanks, poison gas, and trench warfare, that resulted in a stalemate on the Western Front and resulted in such battles as the Battle of Argonne Forest. Moreover, something else you could touch on is how the men in the trenches viewed the world around them in light of their experiences. Finally, one last point you could consider is how well you think that poetry conveys the horrors of this war. As you can see, poetry can be used to describe many different things, so see what you can get out of it.

This report needs to be about two pages long, not including the poems themselves or your works cited page. If you have any questions about format, please review the Written Assignment Guidelines.

This year is the four hundredth anniversary of the first Africans arriving in the British settlement of Jamestown. In 1619, it was not in any way clear that African slavery would be the future of any of the English colonies in America, and English settlers tried a variety of forms of labor. These Africans did not arrive as enslaved people, as we understand the term to mean today. While they were not there by choice, and had been trafficked, no one claimed ownership over them for life, and their children were not born into the same state of servitude. Many of these people eventually became free, and some even owned land. By the end of the seventeenth century, this would all change. Slavery was firmly established in not just Virginia, but throughout the English colonies in America, and while Native Americans were also forced to labor and kept in a state of slavery at different times, the system we recognize as American slavery perpetual, hereditary, and race-based was reserved exclusively for Africans and their descendants.

Your task is to explain why this came to be. In other words, why did the English colonists choose to create, maintain, and grow the system of enslaving Africans and their children, particularly in the southern colonies in the century or so after 1619?

If you feel stuck, consider this hypothetically, they could have enslaved anyone fellow Englishmen; captured enemies, such as the Spanish; the Irish, whom they had been trying to conquer for centuries but they did not. They also could have increased their investment in indentured servitude, or even paid workers. They did none of these things, though, and developed and pursued this particular form of slavery.

You should plan to write a cohesive, formal essay, 1300 to 1600 words (this is about four to five pages), in which you develop an argument and advance it through making points and using evidence to back them up.

The formatting is the usual double-spaced, standard margins, normal sized font (11 or 12 point, depending on which you choose) and so on.

Do not use or consult outside sources for this assignment. You should only be referencing class materials the textbook, the Early labor set of documents on Canvas, and whatever we may cover in class. You do not need to use all the documents, but you should use some of them, along with the textbook. The best papers tend to blend together a variety of different types of sources, making for a stronger case. You will have all the information you need to write an outstanding essay.
