A 3 page research paper that discusses the relationship between nutrition and HIV. Extreme weight loss frequently occurs among HIV-positive patients. Known as HIV wasting, weight loss can occur for a variety of reasons, which include cognitive impairment and difficult in swallowing, but it can also occur due to altered “gonadal, adrenal and thyroid function” (Ungvarski, 1996, p. 26). Nurses play a crucial role in combating HIV wasting through educational interventions with HIV asymptomatic patients, as well as acting as a resource for information on successful interventions that can be employed when HIV wasting strikes (Ungvarski, 1996). Bibliography lists 3 sources.
A 6 page research paper that discusses how the HIV/AIDS epidemic has affected nursing on a global scale, but particularly within the healthcare systems of the developing countries. This literature review examines the affect of HIV/AIDS on the profession of nursing, with an emphasis on nursing in Africa, but also addressing global experiences and concerns. The implications drawn from this research indicate the challenges facing nursing today due to HIV/AIDS. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
A 10 page paper discussing the history of the disease, the immune system and the mechanisms by which HIV is believed to cause disease. The mysteries of HIV/AIDS remain, but researchers have discovered enough of its peculiarities that its associated 'fear factor' has been reduced somewhat, at least in that segment of the population that is neither HIV-positive nor active sufferers of AIDS. Continued research into prevention, particularly the promise provided by emerging vaccines, coupled with the availability of drugs for treatment brings hope to those who formerly would have had none. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
This 4 page paper reflects on the AIDS / HIV situation by answering a series of questions.
