This paper focuses on the results of a systematic integrative review on the experiences of individuals experiencing homelessness (IEH) in healthcare (Omerov et al., 2019). The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the findings of this review with Arizona’s (AZ) approaches to address homelessness. This paper will introduce the topic, provide evidence from the systematic integrative review, evaluate this evidence, and compare this evidence to what the state of AZ does to mitigate these healthcare needs. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) was used to evaluate Omerov et al.’s systematic review (2019) (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP), 2018). The findings of this paper are that AZ has some interventions that provide basic human needs, reduce perceived barriers to accessing care, and provide more helpful care. The conclusion of this paper is that AZ needs to develop better interventions to comprehensively address the needs of IEH.
My project goes over the biology of chronic kidney disease, including what CKD is, definitions to understand, the prevalence of it, the signs and symptoms, and the main causes. Then I go over the nutrition guidelines of the disease and the nutrients important to regulate, including sodium, protein, fats and whole grain carbohydrates, potassium, and phosphorus. Next, I write about recipes that I modify to be kidney-friendly and make nutrient analyses for each original recipe and each modified recipe. Finally, I made a video of myself cooking and trying two of the modified recipes.
