Introduction Malaria is one of the leading causes of mortality rates in most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Caused by Plasmodium Falciparum‚ the disease serves as one of the leading threats to human population across the continent. Theoretical concepts tend to front mosquitoes and hence the parasite it carries as the main reason behind the high impacts of Malaria. However‚ research indicates that the spread of the effects of malaria has majorly been caused other health factors‚ for instance‚ decline

Current Status of Malaria Vaccinology In order to assess the current status of malaria vaccinology one must first take an overview of the whole of the whole disease.

Using Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (or Gibbs’ Reflective Model) Gibbs’ reflective cycle is a theoretical model often used by students as a framework in coursework assignments that require reflective writing. The model was created by Professor Graham Gibbs and appeared in Learning by Doing (1988). It looks like this: Action plan If it arose again what would you do? Descripiton What happened?

The clinical skill I have chosen to reflect on is the administration of Intramuscular (IM) injections. I will use a reflective model to guide me in my reflection. The Gibbs reflection cycle features‚ description‚ feelings‚ evaluation‚ description‚ conclusion and an action plan (Gibbs 1988). The first stage of Gibbs (1988) is description of events. On my clinical placement I had the opportunity to administer a drug to a patient via IM injection under the supervision of my mentor. I had already

The essay will focus on the reason and solution‚ and then give some recommendations. The mosquito is the main reason to cause malaria. More specifically‚ mosquitoes transmit
