Step 1:

Practice Final Exam

To help you prepare for the Week 5 – Final, there is a practice final exam, the Week 5 – Practice Final, within MyStatLab. The advantage of completing a practice final is that questions are similar to those on the final, and all the help features are included. You will be able to view a similar solved example or check out the most applicable textbook pages as you learn on the Week 5 – Practice Final. You are required to take the Week 5 – Practice Final, but you don’t need to ace it. A score of 30% or better is required to move forward to take the graded final.

This preparation is important since you can only take the final one time. You must answer the questions in order and you may not return to a question after you have worked on it, so be sure to complete the question before clicking NEXT or SAVE FOR LATER. The final is timed; you need not complete it in a single sitting as the “Save for Later” option is enabled. It may be less stressful to complete half of the final, save the final and complete the rest later. Note: When you return to complete the final, you cannot revise answers on any questions previously viewed or answered.

1. What are some unique challenges we face in the realm of nutritional health for children? Address specific challenges we face today. (development of poor eating habits, processed foods, etc..)

2. What are some unique challenges we face in the realm of nutritional health for pregnant/lactating women? How do we encourage good nutritional behavior by pregnant/lactating women without violating individual liberties?

3. How can global issues hinder the nutritional needs of some populations? Give examples.  How do we combat these issues?

4. As we approach the end of this class you will start to see some data on the disturbing trends in the United States on the obesity epidemic and its effects on our health as a society.  The past several years of the healthcare debate have created much controversy. Many people look at healthcare as something that should be paid for by tax dollars, as we all benefit from a healthy society, just as we all benefit from roads and bridges. 

5.Many people also feel personal health is one’s personal responsibility as the bulk of healthcare costs are due to personal choices and are to be bore by the individual, just as if they had chose to drink or do drugs.

6.How do we grapple with the healthcare issue? What do you think?  Support your sentiments with logic and facts and not emotion.  Saying that you think its a good thing for everyone to have healthcare isn’t disputed. I think most people would say that’s a good thing! However, who would pay for that?  And why? Where do the roles of individuals and taxpayers meet?
