Herbal Supplements:

The practice of using herbal supplements dates back thousands of years. Today, there is a renewal in the use of herbal supplements among American consumers. However, herbal supplements are not for everyone. In fact, some herbal products may cause problems for people treatments for chronic ailments. Because they are not subject to scrutiny by the FDA or other governing agencies, the use of herbal supplements is controversial.

Herbal supplements are products made from plants for use in the treatment and management of certain diseases and medical conditions. Many prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines are also made from plant derivatives. These products contain only purified ingredients and, unlike herbal supplements, are closely regulated by the FDA. Herbal supplements may contain entire plants or plant parts. Herbal supplements come in all forms: dried, chopped, powdered, capsule, or liquid, and can be used in various ways.

Please address the following:

• Discuss advantages and disadvantages of dietary supplements, including adverse reactions, drug-drug interactions, drug-food interactions, and specific laboratory issues that may arise from using these products.
• Discuss the position of the FDA and other governmental agencies on over the counter herbal supplements. Support your post with at least 2 evidenced-based guidelines published within the last 5 years.All posts must be referenced as mentioned above and written in APA 6th edition format. 

Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.

Reflection on Learning 2

Reflective inquiry allows for expansion in self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals. Each week, you will reflect upon what you have learned and complete a reflective journal assignment: Reflection on Learning. Each weekly reflection is placed in one document, which will be submitted for grading at the end of Week 7. There is no weekly reflection in Week 8 because a reflection is incorporated into the discussion question. Create a document where you will keep your weekly reflection.

Access your reflection document. Reflect upon your Week 2 learning journey in NR701 and consider the following in one or two paragraphs.

·  Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

·  Why is the information important?

·  In what ways will you use this learning?

1- Tell your thoughts on what should be the criteria when there are insufficient resources during a pandemic.

2- If rationing must be based on ethical criteria, how should we review it in relation to the progress of the pandemic? Cite some examples from our current Covid 19 pandemic.

Ethical criteria include four key elements:

Transparency: the measures are explained and well justified.

Health benefit: the measures are evidence based.

Efficiency: the measures should reach the greatest possible number of individuals.

Adaptability: review and modify previous measures in the light of new findings.
