This is episode 2  of the series: Vitamin D in Children and Adults

This podcast discusses a very important vitamin: Vitamin D! Vitamin D plays a role in maintaining strong bones, but it also has numerous other effects on the body related to overall health and function from birth until death! Many may not be aware of how multifaceted the role of vitamin D is for multiple body systems to function well. They may also not be aware of how low their intake might actually be related to times of the year, lifestyle factors, or dietary consumption. Join us for a discussion of whether vitamin D is a vitamin or a hormone, differences between vitamin D2 and D3, and sources of vitamin D. Is the sun all you need? Will food provide what you need? Or, is there more to learn to make sure your vitamin D status is decent, not diminishing?

This is episode 1 of the series: Moral Distress: How, Can, and Should We Respond to It? 

Healthcare professionals may experience moral distress when decisions are made to manage an ethical dilemma that cannot be implemented, produce a feeling of being required to act, or are inconsistent with ethical practices (Jones-Bonofiglio, 2020). Researchers have recognized that healthcare professionals often do not feel prepared to manage ethical dilemmas that could lead to a patient's care needs not being met, which can lead to moral distress in the healthcare professional (Milliken, 2018). This podcast series aims to help healthcare professionals understand moral distress, the contributing factors of moral distress, and the importance of resilience in managing or preventing moral distress.
