Hello! I need some help with my test questions!
Dr. Goodie wants to treat Mr. Miller’s thyroid cancer by using Radioactive lodine (RAI) treatment after an unsuccessful surgery to remove the cancer. Dr. Goodie explains that this treatment consists of injecting radioactive lodine (1-131) into the bloodstreamSinc the thyroid is the only place the body stores lodine, is a relatively safe way to destroy cancer cells within the thyroid. Dr. Goodie apologetically leaves to deal with an emerger Issue, but Mr. Miller still has some concerns. Answer the following to alleviate Mr. Miller concerns:
Dr. Goodie estimates Mr. Miller will need to be infused with approximately 4 grams of 131 over a 3- hour period of time to reach a sufficient therapeutic level of radiation.
1. How many grams of iodine-131 would remain in Mr. Miller’s body after 6.8 half-lives? ( Round your answers to two decimal places)
2. If the half-life of l-131 is 7.6 days, how long would it take for l-131 to go through 3.3 half-lives? (Round your answers to two decimals points)
3. If the half-life of l-131 is 29 days, how many moles of l-131 would be left in Mr. Miller’s body after 35 days if he was infused with 4.4 grams? (Round your answer to four decimal places)
4. If the half-life of l-131 is 7.8 days, how many days would it take for only 3.2 x 10^-2 grams of l-131 to be left in Mr. Miller’s body if Dr. Goodie started him on an initial dose of 7.9 grams? (Round your answer to two decimal points)
*Note that question #12 also ask the symbol but is unfortunately cut off. So please include that in your answer pls*

A logic model or program theory is a description or model frequently pictorial of how a program is supposed to achieve its expected outcomes and solve the identified problem for which it was created. It creates a logical links between expected outcomes and the activities designed to achieve them and incorporates the evidence-based theoretical assumptions that explain how the activities will lead to outcomes. A program theory or logic model is NOT the theoretical framework on which your project is based although it may be related to a theoretical framework. A theoretical or conceptual framework is a general theory that explains why some things happen. A program theory or logic model is unique to your project and explains how it is supposed to work.
Assignment Prompt
Develop a one-page diagram of theoretical foundation for your project/program, describing how and why your project should achieve the desired outcome. Add references on the second page. You may arrange items in the diagram in any way you choose, but the diagrams should include each of the following components and show the logical connections between them:The need or problem to be addressed by the project/program with supporting data
The context for the project/program (attach a reference list with your diagram)
The strategy (ies) proposed to address the need/problem
The evidence base for the proposed strategies (attached a reference list with your diagram)
Factors that will influence the use of strategy
The expected outcomes of the project/program
The resulting impact of the project/program if the outcomes are achieved.

Student post 1:
My Thoughts from Module 6 lectures are regarding UV radiation and sunscreens. These lectures spoke to me, as I am a fair complected individual. My complexion goes from very fair, to looking like a fried lobster with less than 30 minutes of sun exposure. I have experienced more than my share of sunburns throughout my lifetime, especially as a teenager. As I grow older and wiser, I protect my skin more and wear long-sleeved shirts, big hats, and pants while outdoors. This has not always been my common practice, it has taken years of experience, and I want better for my patients.
I need to know about sunscreens, especially as I care for teenagers and those with significant sun exposure. Wearing sunscreen can help reduce the harmful effects caused by sunlight exposure. Understanding UV radiation and knowing which sunscreens provide the best protection will help me with educating my patients on how they can best protect themselves from harmful effects caused by sun exposure.
Questions:
What are the dermatological effects of UVA and UVB radiation?
What sunscreens provide the best coverage?
What is an organic sunscreen?
Epiphanies:  
The sun’s rays put off UV radiation. UV radiation causes sunburns, premature aging of skin, skin cancer, immunosuppression, and can induce photosensitivity reactions to drugs. There are different types of UV radiation, including UVB (penetrates our epidermis) and UVA (penetrates our epidermis and deep into the dermis). UVA radiation is divided into UVA2 and UVA1.
UVB primarily causes:
Tanning            
Sunburn
UVA is primary cause of:
Immunosuppression
Photosensitivity drug reactions
Photoaging of skin
wrinkling
yellowing
breakdown of elastic fibers
UVA and UVB both promote DNA damage, therefore can cause premalignant actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant and nonmalignant melanoma.
Organic sunscreens are chemical sunscreens. 5 of the 15 approved organic sunscreens absorb UVA2, 4 protect against UVA2 and UVB, and Avobenzone is the only organic chemical sunscreen that absorbs UVA1. Chemical sunscreen compounds must include avobenzone to provide a full range of UV radiation protection. The compound mixture sunscreens that include avobenzone provide protection against UVA and UVB, these are labeled as broad-spectrum sunscreens.  
3 basic sunscreen groups:
highly protective:
broad spectrum sunscreens with SPF 15 or higher
protect against sunburn, skin cancer, and photoaging
moderately protective:
broad spectrum sunscreens with SPF 2-14
protect against sunburn
least protective:
ONLY UVB protection,
protects against sunburn only
Moderately and Least protective must carry WARNING label does not protect against skin cancer or photoaging
Sunscreens are not water proof or sweat proof, therefore must be reapplied after swimming or sweating. According to the dermatology lecture, some of the sunscreens that provide the best coverage include physical screens that prevent sun rays from penetrating the skin by reflecting and scattering sunlight, not allowing the solar radiation to be absorbed. According to the lecture, physical screens are inorganic and include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Tsai & Chien (2022) states, “titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the only ingredients that are generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) by the US FDA” (p. 199). Physical sunscreens are also referred to as natural or mineral sunscreens. Per the lecture, physical screens protect against UVB, UVA2, and UVA1, and they may be applied to the nose, lips, and ear tips.
Sunscreens help to prevent cancer. All individuals exposed to the sun’s rays need protection. For best protection against UV radiation caused by sun exposure I will recommend my patients to use inorganic physical sunscreens or a highly protective broad-spectrum organic sunscreen with SPF of 30 or greater (Tsai & Chien, 2022). The chosen sunscreen should be water resistant. For my patients with an allergy to Avobenzone I will recommend them to use inorganic physical sunscreens.

WEEK 4 ASSIGNMENT: FREQUENCY AND DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
Imagine that you have collected data from 100 patients. You have carefully compiled vitals, pain scores, and medications for each of the patients. However, what does all of this data mean? Is your work now done?
How do we make data meaningful? Why must we move beyond the raw data to ensure that data is purposeful?   
Descriptive analysis is the analysis of the data to develop meaning. Descriptive analysis provides meaning through showing, describing, and summarizing the data compiled to “reveal characteristics of the sample and to describe study variables” (Gray & Grove, 2020). This allows the researcher to present data in a more meaningful and simplified way.
For this Assignment, summarize your interpretation of the descriptive statistics provided to you in the Week 4 Descriptive Statistics SPSS Output document. You will evaluate each variable in your analysis.
TO PREPARE:
Review the Week 4 Descriptive Statistics SPSS Output provided in this week’s Learning Resources.
Review the Learning Resources on how to interpret descriptive statistics, including how to interpret research outcomes.
Consider the results presented in the SPSS output and reflect on how you might interpret the frequency distributions and the descriptive statistics presented.
THE ASSIGNMENT: (2–3 PAGES)
Summarize your interpretation of the frequency data provided in the output for respondent’s age, highest school grade completed, and family income from prior month.  
Note: A frequency analysis is way of summarizing data by depicting the number of times a data value occurs in the data table or output. It is used to analyze the data set including where the data are concentrated or clustered, the range of values, observation of extreme values, and to determine intervals for analysis that could make sense in categorizing your variable values.
Summarize your interpretation of the descriptive statistics provided in the output for respondent’s age, highest school grade completed, race and ethnicity, currently employed, and family income from prior month.
Note: The descriptive analysis includes N (size of your sample), the mean, the median, the standard deviation, the size and spread of your data to determine the variability/variance in your data.
