I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
After reading Chapter 11 “Reproductive Health,” viewing the slide presentation and videos, complete the following steps and create a thread in the discussion board:
- Review Section 11.2 The Fertility Transition (page 259-263) and the charts contained there.
- Choose one of the eight countries being highlighted in the textbook, other than USA. (see chart page 263).
- Go to https://www.populationpyramid.net/ and find the pyramid for the country you chose.
- Using the resources in step 1-3, decide where your chosen country is on the Fertility, Mortality and Demographic Transition Scale (see chart on page 260):
- Pre-transition – high fertility rate, high death rate, stable population size
- Early transition – dealth rates decreasing, population size increases
- Late transition – birth rates decrease, population size increases
- Post-transition – low fertility rate, low death rate, population size stabilizes
- Based on your answer to step 4, answer the following questions:
- What are the implications for maternal/child health in the country you chose?
- What is the most important issue for population planning and reproductive health in that country?
