In 2014, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) did a study on bullying and the found that 19.4% of all the students interviewed had been bullied at school. This may not seem very surprising, bullying has been going on for decades. Generations of men and women have come to fear the people who walk the halls, stealing lunch money from those weaker than them. However, it is interesting to note that 14.8% of that 19.4% had reported being cyber bullied. Unlike the standard physical bullying, cyberbullying is a slightly more recent development, but it has evolved to become much more deadly. It gives bullies a better tool for creating more widespread pain. The awareness for cyber bullying needs to increase and ultimately, cyberbullying needs to be abolished completely due to its destructive capabilities.

The purpose of this report was to gain knowledge for personally and professionally for the future as well as to use for reporting. With the rise of children and teenagers getting cell phones, tablets, and even computers at such a young age the rise will only continue to go up if we cannot stop it now. Young girls are at a higher risk than young men to be bullied but young men are higher for being bullies. Every one in three teens have been the victims of cyber bullying and only one in five are reported to parents or law enforcement. If there was something that could be done to stop cyberbullying

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention also known as the CDC is the leading federal agency that provides information in all areas of health and safety. The CDC has been at the forefront in numerous areas of medical research and has now taking on the role of providing information about Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder commonly known as ADHD. There are a variety of neurodevelopment disorders, and ADHD is considered to be the most common even though it was first documented in 1902. The CDC website has provided information that effectively utilizes the three rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos to inform and educate the public about a common disorder that affects children and adults.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention there are approximately three million babies born in the United States each year (Martin et al.). While there is always risk that a baby could have any number of health conditions, one rarely occurring condition is situs inversus. “Situs” refers to the position of an organ, with situs solitus being the ordinary arrangement of organs (Dictionary). Situs inversus is when the organs in the chest and abdomen are mirrored, or opposite, of where their ordinary location should be. This is a unique genetic condition that affects 1 in 10,000 babies born each year (“15 Incredible Situs Inversus Statistics”). While situs inversus is the general term used, there are three subtypes of the condition that can occur: dextrocardia, levocardia and ambiguous.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC), is the main government body tracking, preventing, and evaluating the spread of risky and common diseases throughout the United States. In some cases, some diseases are not being reported by local and state governments making it hard for the CDC to track down the origin of the outbreak or behavior pattern of people involved. The authority requiring notification of cases or laboratories’ results referring to sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) such as Syphilis, HIV, or communicable diseases resides in the respective state legislatures. In many cases, local government health care departments provide epidemiologic services encouraging health care providers to facilitate the findings with the intent to
Even though the CDC provides a vast amount of information, the CDC website provides facts regarding ADHD, because CDC provides information for families and children living with ADHD and overall, broadens the public’s awareness.
The CDC is a worldwide resource for control of diseases. While the Georgia Composite Medical Board is an agency that licenses anyone in a healthcare job an example would be physicians. This board investigates healthcare professionals complaints. They also discipline the healthcare professionals who violate the Medical Practice Act. They can violate other laws though.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that total cost in fall-related injuries will exceed over 30 billion by the year 2020 (Bonuel, Manjos, Lockett, & Gray-Becknell, 2011, p. 156). Reducing the risk of patient falls will minimize patient injuries and reduce financial constraints placed on hospitals. According to the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) the risk of patient falls is a nursing-sensitive indicator (ANA Indicator History, 2015). As a way to subside their anxiety in waiting for assistants the patient makes the decision to attempt moving on their own, a large percentage are related to restroom or bedpan usage an there is a need for physical and emotional care to diminish the risk of fall. The author explains that once a patient is found on the floor (observed or unobserved) or is lowered to the floor this constitutes a fall (Goldsack, Bergey, Mascioli, & Cunningham, 2015, p. 6). In severe cases death can occur do to falls, in minor occurrences bruising, fractures and reopening of wounds can lead to longer hospitalization that can be a financial burden to the patient and hospital. Patient can experiences an array of emotions while hospitalized such as lack of independence fear of repeated falls, embarrassment and anxiety.

Sharps injuries affect a great number of health care professionals in the workplace . It is estimated that

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have a non-stop job of protecting people in our country. They are our nation’s prevention agency and have a long reach all over the world. Their job is 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, in which they work to protect people from injuries, disabilities, diseases and other health problems that comes with natural diseases and bioterrorism attacks.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports, the cause of death to be roughly 720,000 citizens in the United States die from cardiovascular disease each year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014.) Deaths’ relating to cardiovascular disease have slightly dropped annually since the 1980’s. Coronary artery disease is the most prevalent type of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. and it kills around 400,000 Americans annually (Murphy, Xu, Kochanek, 2013.) Statistics like these are astounding and suggest the seriousness of this epidemic we are dealing with. Determinants of one’s health are vast but vary based on each individual.

With the technological advances that have occurred within the past 15 years, bullying has become anything but traditional. Children and teens have more access to the Internet and to social media platforms more than ever before, thus allowing them to avoid face-to-face interaction. Within the past 15 years, there has been a significant rise of cyberbullying in the youth demographic (ages 12-18) (Slonje, Smith, & Frisén, 2013). In order to understand what the difference between traditional bullying and cyberbullying is, one must familiarize themselves with the definition of cyberbullying.
