1. Discussion: Best practice in womens health
Discussion: Best practice in womens healthDiscussion: Best practice in womens healthFor
over 20 years, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study has conducted research trials to
examine factors that impact risks and development of conditions that impact women such
as heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in
postmenopausal women. Health care providers use results from these trials to develop
guidelines for delivering care to patients. In your role in clinical settings, you must be
familiar with these guidelines, and you must be aware that through clinical practice,
guidelines frequently evolve and change. Often, what is considered a best practice today
might not be a best practice in the future. For this Assignment, you compare guidelines
outlined in the WHI study to current best practices for assessing and managing
conditions.By Day 7 of Week 11To Prepare:Review the Women’s Health Initiative article in
this week’s Learning Resources. Select one disorder presented in this study.Locate and
select a research article that addresses current best practices for assessing and managing
the disorder you selected. Be sure that the research article you select is from a reputable
source.Consider the similarities and differences between the best practices presented in the
WHI study and the article you selected. Think about the potential impact of differences in
best practices on women’s health.Consider whether the best practices in the article you
selected should be used in clinical practice.To Complete:Write a 2- to 3-page paper that
addresses the following:Describe the disorder you selected from the Women’s Health
Initiative study.Explain the current best practices for assessing and managing this disorder
as suggested in the research article you selected.Compare the best practices presented in
the WHI study to the current best practices presented in the article. Explain how the
differences in best practices might impact women’s health.Explain whether you think the
current best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice. Support
your position with evidence-based research.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-
FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s
spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part
and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled
words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and
then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins

2. or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
