One-two paragraphs, APA format and please provide references. (Discussions due Tuesday)

(1)Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believed that physical diversity among animals could be explained by physical stressors experienced by one generation being passed on to the next. Giraffes, therefore, have long necks because one giraffe, a long time ago, had to stretch out and reach for food, and this characteristic was passed on to its offspring.

What are the problems with Lamarck’s theory of evolution?

(2)please look at the history of medicine.  In the past, surgeons thought that exposure to air was the reason for an infection stemming from a surgery.  Thus, a surgeon did not need to wash or even change clothing because these issues were not the cause of infection. 

Do some research on the issue of the invisible world of germs and how this theory was proved and accepted.

  (3)On the Healthy People 2020 website, the 2020 LHI topic, Social Determinants, explains that a national indicator of health is measured by “Students who graduate with a regular diploma 4 years after starting 9th grade” (para. 11). According to the data, as a nation, are we improving or declining, and why is this important to our health as a country?

 (4)Briefly (and without using formal nursing diagnosis terminology) explain each step of the nursing process (ADOPIE) as it might apply to a person who smokes tobacco.
