Hi There,
I am done with Nursing School and waiting to take the NCLEX exam. I have attached the Registered Practical Nursing Cover Letter and Resume for editing. Thanks

I’ve got 3 reflections, already done I’m just looking for someone to fix them and add a reference in each section.  Each  reflection is approx 500 words. Just need edited slightly to fit in with criteria 

Once you have selected a PICOt question discuss your strategies for conducting a systematic search/review of the literature in order to answer your question.  Explain how you will critically appraise the literature you have selected to determine the best evidence for this assignment.
My Picot question:  In adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), does regular physical activity (PA) intervention, compared to standard care alone, result in improved glycemic control and reduced cardiovascular risk factors?

Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to deepen your understanding of the impact of social determinants of health on mental health outcomes, and to develop critical thinking skills in identifying and addressing these determinants in nursing practice.
Create a presentation or write a paper answering the following prompts:
Introduction: Provide a concise overview of the concept of social determinants of health and their relevance to mental health nursing. Briefly explain why understanding these determinants is crucial for providing effective mental health care.
Literature Review: Conduct a review of current literature on social determinants of health and their influence on mental health outcomes. Identify at least five key determinants and provide evidence-based explanations for their impact on mental health.
Case Analysis: Choose case involving a mental health patient. Analyze the case with a focus on identifying specific social determinants of health that may be influencing the patient’s mental health. Consider factors such as socioeconomic status, education, employment, housing, access to healthcare, social support, and cultural background.
Critical Reflection: Reflect on the case analysis and discuss the following points:
How do the identified social determinants contribute to the patient’s mental health challenges?
What potential interventions or strategies can be employed to address these determinants and improve the patient’s mental health outcomes?
How might your awareness of these determinants influence your approach to care for this patient?
Personal Perspective: Share your own insights and beliefs about the role of social determinants in mental health care. Reflect on any personal experiences or encounters that have shaped your perspective on this topic.
Recommendations for Practice: Based on your analysis and reflections, provide specific recommendations for mental health nursing practice to address social determinants of health. Include strategies for assessment, intervention, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals and community resources.
Conclusion: Summarize the key points discussed in the assignment and emphasize the importance of considering social determinants in mental health nursing practice.
References: Provide a minimum of 2 references (within 5 yrs) to support your information. References must be in proper APA format.

The Interrelationship Among Theory, Practice, and Research
Theory, practice, and research are interconnected elements in any discipline, but particularly so in fields like healthcare, education, and social sciences. Understanding the interrelationship among these components is crucial for developing a comprehensive understanding of the field and for making informed decisions in professional practice. In this discussion, we will explore how theory informs practice, how practice drives research, and how research validates and refines theory and practice.
First of all, theory offers a structure for comprehending events in a specific field (Smith & Jones, 2018). Theories like the social determinants of health theory and the biopsychosocial model, for example, provide conceptual frameworks for comprehending health and illness in the healthcare domain. The intricate interactions between biological, psychological, and social elements that affect health outcomes are better understood by practitioners with the aid of these ideas. Healthcare workers can approach patient care with a deeper awareness of the underlying principles at play and produce more effective interventions and better patient outcomes by rooting practice in theory.
On the other hand, experience frequently acts as a laboratory for theoretical ideas (Brown, 2016). Practitioners may face difficulties or unexpected results while implementing theoretical frameworks in practical situations, which leads them to modify or adapt preexisting theories. When a nurse implements a new patient education program, for instance, she can discover that some theoretical presumptions regarding behavior modification strategies or learning styles do not correspond with the experiences that patients actually have. The disparity between theory and reality can spur more study to examine and confirm the efficacy of various strategies.
By offering actual data to support or contradict theoretical claims and useful treatments, research plays a critical role in bridging the gap between theory and practice (Johnson et al., 2020). Scholars can test theories, collect information, and evaluate findings to produce new understandings and insights through study. For instance, a randomized controlled trial might be carried out by a researcher to assess a novel therapeutic intervention’s efficacy in accordance with a certain theoretical paradigm. The theoretical framework can then be improved, clinical best practices can be informed by the findings of such research, and patient care can eventually be enhanced.
Moreover, research conducted in real-world settings, known as translational research, helps to ensure that theoretical concepts are applicable and relevant to the complexities of everyday practice (Thomas & Green, 2017). Translational research bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge generated in academic settings and the practical realities of frontline healthcare delivery. By facilitating the translation of research findings into evidence-based practice, translational research contributes to the ongoing refinement and validation of both theory and practice.
In conclusion, theory, practice, and research are interdependent components of professional development and knowledge advancement in fields such as healthcare. Theory provides a conceptual framework for understanding phenomena, practice serves as a testing ground for theoretical concepts, and research generates empirical evidence to support and refine both theory and practice. By recognizing and leveraging the interrelationship among these components, professionals can contribute to the ongoing evolution and improvement of their respective fields.
