Week 1

October 3 - 9

30 hours

Describe:

During this week, I conducted significant research into the topic “The Homeless and taking care of them who suffer with Diabetes”. It is important that all community types have the best care. No one should be without healthcare because of the environment or conditions that they live. It’s important that more research is conducted to understand the issues of lack of healthcare for those who are less fortunate. It’s extremely important to find safe and effective ways to provide care to a population that is often times overlooked. The extensive research provides informative ways that care can be provided for those who may not have access to care.

Accessed journals include

The research process helped me get an overview and scope of the upcoming project.

Reflection:

The research process allowed me to narrow down on the topic, and focus on the most important issues when it comes to finding a solution in providing safe and effective care, to the homeless population who struggle with diabetes.

Organizing project details has prepared me for the next stage of the project. I have estimated hours that will be spent to get the best results.
