HCM FPX 5314 Assessment 3 Value-Based Purchasing and Shared Risk Models HCM-FPX5314 Driving Health Care Results Optimizing Healthcare with Value-Based Purchasing Models

In the past, hospitals primarily utilized fee-for-service or volume-based payment models. These traditional methods incentivized quantity over quality, with financial benefits tied to the number of services provided. This approach, however, led to escalating healthcare costs without necessarily improving patient outcomes. The shift toward value-based purchasing models represents a significant change in the healthcare landscape, focusing on quality rather than volume. This transformation aims to control costs and enhance patient care by rewarding providers based on the value of care delivered.

Bismarck Evangelical Hospital, founded in 1902 in Bismarck, North Dakota, underwent a major upgrade in 1916, becoming a modern 58-bed facility. As the surrounding environment changed, the hospital began to focus on serving the impoverished community and later rebranded itself as Sanford Medical Center Bismarck. This new identity was marked by the construction of a 217-bed facility. Sanford Health’s system now includes a Level II trauma center, seven primary care clinics, three urgent care centers, four specialty clinics, three long-term care facilities, three kidney dialysis centers, three occupational health clinics, a health home agency, and one independent living center.

COM FPX 1150 Assessment 4 Digital Organization and Tools for Success

To learn about these features, I utilized two training resources. I conducted a Google search for Microsoft Teams and found the article “Get started with Microsoft Teams” (n.d.) on support.microsoft.com. After reviewing the features offered by Microsoft Teams and learning how to initiate its use, I found another link on the site that provided additional information, including a video titled “What Is Microsoft Teams?” (n.d.).

I assessed the credibility of these resources based on the fact that they originate from Microsoft, the company behind the product. I also downloaded Microsoft Teams through the link recommended by my organization. Upon opening the application for the first time, I encountered a link that directed me to the same site, reinforcing its credibility.

For my second digital tool selection, I chose to investigate Headspace, as I had not previously heard of it. I found several articles addressing questions about how to use Headspace, what it is, and its various functions (Using Headspace). These resources were located at https://help.headspace.com/hc/en-us/categories/202463367-Using-Headspace, which I consider a credible source since it is the official webpage for Headspace.

COM FPX 1150 Assessment 4 Digital Organization and Tools for Success

After reviewing the help center page to learn about Headspace and its applications, I visited the homepage for further exploration. I discovered numerous articles related to stress and how meditation can enhance self-awareness and stress management. Since I had not used Headspace before and had little experience with meditation apps, I decided to try an introductory exercise. I clicked on the link for “Stress 101,” which seemed suitable for beginners like myself (https://www.headspace.com/stress/stress-101). I found the experience engaging; as I followed the instructions, I began to close my eyes, and shortly after, the instructions suggested that I could do so if I wished. The beginner video lasted just over a minute, but it left me eager to try more exercises. While there are free features within the app, accessing the full version requires a subscription. I will need to consider this further and explore other free options, but overall, I can see how Headspace could assist in resetting and alleviating the stress our minds create.

The second qualitative research methodology is Grounded Theory. This approach allows theories to emerge from the data collected (Singh & Estefan, 2018). Grounded theory research follows a systematic process of data gathering, coding, and drawing connections to discover outcomes without preconceived notions. In contrast to Phenomenology, Grounded Theory focuses on generating genuinely new experiences that contribute to the development of new theories (Singh & Estefan, 2018).

NURS-FPX 8010 Executive Leadership in Contemporary Nursing ​​​​​​​Strategic Plan Evaluation in Healthcare: A Critical Appraisal of the VA’s Approach

 

A strategic plan in healthcare serves as a roadmap for organizations to envision and plan for the future (Fry & Baum, 2016). This paper critically examines the strategic plan of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which operates the largest integrated healthcare network in the United States, catering to over 9 million Veterans annually (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2022).

Strategic Plan Analysis

The VA’s mission is to honor and serve American Veterans, guided by core values such as Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect, and Excellence (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2021b). The 2022-28 Strategic Plan outlines four goals, 13 objectives, and 75 strategies to execute the mission (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2022). Key priorities, including trust, communication, and accountability, are interwoven into the mission and core values. These priorities are fundamental to maintaining relationships, transparency, and commitment to serving Veterans.

Validity of Data and Analytical Strategies

The VA employs a rigorous analytical approach, including gap analysis and workshops to identify current and desired states (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2022). The strategic plan emphasizes the use of customer experience data, population-level statistics, and analytics to inform decision-making. Strategic Goal 4 underscores the commitment to managing data as a strategic asset, with Objective 4.2 specifically highlighting the role of the Office of Data Governance and Analysis.

Stakeholder Input

Stakeholder consultation, involving senior leaders, Federal agencies, Veteran Service Officers, members of Congress, employees, Veterans, and caregivers/families, informs the VA’s strategic plan (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2022). Feedback from stakeholders is integral to driving change and achieving Strategic Goal 3, which focuses on creating a culture of accountability driven by ethical behavior and trust.

Balanced Scorecard

The VA utilizes a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as part of its strategic planning process, addressing financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth perspectives (Kaplan, 2020). Financial initiatives include the implementation of the Financial Management Business Transformation program. Customer-centric efforts aim to enhance the Veteran experience and provide multilingual communications. Internal business process improvements involve digital modernization and harmonized online experiences. Learning and growth initiatives focus on continuous development, evident in leadership training programs.

Conclusion

Strategic planning is crucial for healthcare organizations to set a path for achieving critical goals and ensuring a unified direction (Association of American Medical Colleges, 2022). The VA’s strategic plan underscores its commitment to mission-focused outcomes, customer satisfaction, and fostering a culture of trust, safety, accountability, and transparency.

Implications for the Organization if Patient Experience is Not a Strategic Priority UniversityBHA FPX-4110

The workforce is diverse, there are financial limitations, regulations that change quickly,

and the need to provide care that can save lives are just a few of the difficulties that health care

organizations must overcome. In the healthcare industry, strategic planning is critical to tackling

these issues and coordinating organizational objectives with industry norms. The success of

health care organizations depends on several critical topics, including employee relations, patient

experience, service line management, leadership in the field, and quality improvement. These

topics are all covered in this report.

The organization in question has been following its ten-year strategic plan for the past

three years. It is imperative that the Director of Strategic Planning comprehends current trends

and best practices as they relate to updates to this plan. Insights into these areas are provided in

this report to aid in making wise decisions.

Health Care Leadership and Its Impact on Patient Experience

Importance of Patient Experience in Health Care Operations

Because patient experience has a direct bearing on patient outcomes, satisfaction, and the

organization's financial stability, it has emerged as a crucial component of health care operations.

Patients expect efficient service, compassionate interactions with providers, and high-quality

care in today's consumer-driven health care environment. Patients are also better informed. The

Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores

influence hospital reimbursements and reflect the level of care provided, making patient

experience a strategic priority (Press Ganey, 2021).

The Supply and Demand of Health Care

The healthcare sector is unique since its impacts the lives of more people compared to other industries such as automobiles. The law of demand is similar in the health care sector and other markets such as automobiles. In this case, an increase in process reduces demand for services. However, consumers have an incentive to purchase more health care services due to incentives provided by insurance firms. The demand for health care services is also relatively inelastic, considering that patients purchase services at almost any rates when sick (Stadhoudersa et al., 2019).

The identified condition is HIV/AIDS. The chronic condition requires healthcare providers to initiate and maintain patient-centered and evidence-based care to optimize clinical experiences. Handling patients with HIV/AIDS means integrating services in a way that increases the flow of information across teams. For instance, there are interactions between the pharmacists, physicians, case managers, and others responsible for ensuring consistent adherence to treatment. Breach of confidentiality or privacy undermine the quality, cost, and safety of patient care. Exposing sensitive details such as diagnosis, disease progression, and patient’s demographic details increases the risk of stigma, prejudice, and declining physician-patient trust. Data breaches triggers negative health-seeking behavior and discontinuation of therapies, which contract requirement for healthcare providers to serve patients’ interests.

Effective research skills enable nurses to understand events in their practice and evidence informed options for optimizing care outcomes. The nursing team should have the knowledge, skills, and experiences that allow them to synthesize evidence from credible and reliable sources to improve quality and safety of patient care. One health issue that requires the healthcare team members to be competent researchers is medication errors. The concern entails wrong medication preparation, dispensing, and administration, which could cause severe health complications and premature deaths. Patients are also vulnerable to prolonged hospitalization, increased frequency of readmissions, and additional costs that increase health burden.

Vila Health: Patient Flow

 

2 Introduction Customer satisfaction is the key to running a successful business, and when customers are unhappy with the products or services offered, they may find other places to access the product. Patient satisfaction was and still is the main driving force contributing to the success of healthcare organizations. Also, a healthcare system must continuously find a way to improve patient care and satisfaction and find ways to deliver the most current and safe patient procedure.

Patient Satisfaction “Patient satisfaction can be an indicator of success in several aspects of a healthcare entity, and it is used to measure quality and can affect clinical outcomes, patient retention, and malpractice claims” (Prakash, 2010). Patients also tend to improve when they receive quality care and services. Hence, the health systems at Vila Health try to use patient satisfaction to their advantage over the other healthcare organizations.

In a health care setting, it is referred to having more patients coming into a facility or seeing their healthcare provider regularly. So, by assessing patient satisfaction surveys, Vila Health healthcare systems try to establish a different advantage over their competition. When we identify areas where patient satisfaction is lacking, Vila Health looks into improving those areas and identifying the prosperous areas. All healthcare organizations can identify where they succeed the most in the areas they lack and would like to develop strategies to help improve those areas.

“Strategic planning provides a roadmap to where the company is going and the directions on how to get there” (Drewniak, 2014). Declining Patient Satisfaction Rules At Vila Health, the patient flow through the emergency department looks to be a place they lack and is the leading cause of decreased patient satisfaction. 47% of surveys conducted and returned were from the ER and the overall satisfaction for wait times was 49%. There are strategic initiatives that have been in place that should reflect these numbers and the work that is

3 needed to improve patient flow and decrease wait times. In the quality assurance survey report, the issue is that patient satisfaction has decreased from 93 to 79% in eight months. This big of a decrease could potentially mean that the organization is heading down a dark path and several reasons for a decrease in patient satisfaction. “Five of the most common expectations

Effects of North Korea’s Economic System on its Relationships with Other Nations

Like any other system in the country, North Korea’s economic system is dominated by communism. This has largely affected all of North Korea’s foreign relationships with other countries. Most if not all, international allies that North Korea has have communist governments. For instance, North Korea has extensive trading relationships with China, Russia, and a few Eastern European countries. Besides, according to North Korea’s constitution, any foreign trade will be done by state organizations or enterprises. The communist government would be in charge of any transaction with foreign companies. Knowing that the goal of communist societies is essentially global communism, most nations tend not to associate themselves with North Korea.

Description of Core Values and Personal Mission/Vision Statement- Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader.

 A description of your core values. Leadership is best described as a multidimensional profession that integrated several perspectives personal aspects, such as values, team work and team building and the ability to problem solve. In the past, I have been in a leadership position and understand that the position is not something that can be learned. Leadership is a series of trial and tribulations in order to find the perfect balance that works for both you and your team. My core values as a nurse and a leader have always paralleled transformational and authentic leadership theories and include: empathy, transparency, accountability, communication, motivation and flexibility. Marshall and Broome (2017) state that authentic nurse leaders can be described as authentic and transparent individuals that possess personal truthfulness and traits of compassion, ethical beliefs, and shared decision making. (Marshall & Broome, 2017). As a leader, I always felt that it was important to be open and honest with my coworkers regarding changes that were occurring on the units. Needless to say, seasoned nurses had a difficult time adjusting to best practices that were being employed. To ease tension, I provided research, trainings and listened to concerns my coworkers had regarding the changes. While there wasn’t much that could have been done, validating their feelings seemed to decrease anxiety surrounding the changes. Nurse leaders who are able to successfully model these core values related to transformation and

The Role of the APN without Effective Quality Measures

The Role of the APN without Effective Quality Measures

The absence of individual and group quality measures will lower the quality of healthcare services provided by APNs. APNs will be unable to fulfill the needs of the community and holistic patient needs. Additionally, APNs will not track their progress and performance compared to other providers. The absence of quality implies that APNs will not formulate a standard of practice and establish specific core competencies. By so doing, the quality of healthcare services delivered by APNs will be lowered, and their demand will reduce.

The sources of funding, policies, and legislation have an impact on UNICEF’s efficiency in service delivery. As an organization that operates at an international level and within counties with varied social, economic, and geographical views and factors, UNICEF cannot adopt a universal approach to service delivery. The sources of funding and international policies may influence the locations UNICEF provides its services. Countries with restrictive policies and legislation can also make it hard for UNICEF to meet its goals and purposes in such countries.

Health Disparities in the Asian Community Gastric

This paper will be a qualitative critique on disparities in Asian Americans from the article titled “Gastric Cancer in Asian American Populations: a Neglected Health Disparity”. Gastric cancer rates vary among the world however Asians Americans have one of the highest rates and of other races Korean men are five times more likely to be diagnosed with gastric cancer than nonHispanic white men. This study utilized randomized controlled trials to study efficacy of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) identification and eradication in preventing gastric cancer. Japan and South Korea both have a high rate of gastric cancer but have experienced improvements in mortality after implementing screening programs. This study serves to assess if eradicating H.pylori will be an effective preventative method to improve gastric cancer mortality in Asian Americans. Many physicians are not familiar with Asian minorities and by reviewing this study they can provide better care to this population.

The Factors that Contribute to Conflict Situations Between Law Enforcement and Citizens

The Factors that Contribute to Conflict Situations Between Law Enforcement and Citizens

Notably, power is an instrument that law enforcement must utilize wisely and responsibly. Without an ethical life, this power can be misused, resulting in a power dynamic that is detrimental to law enforcement and society and causing potential conflict (Jones & Mendieta, 2021). Essentially, authority, resources, and discursive legitimacy are the three sources of power (Maron & Benish, 2021). Consequently, the right to decide or act in a socially recognized manner is referred to as authority. Formal legal power, including the capacity to overturn the acts of subordinate state entities, is a significant source of public networks whose members hold official functions and positions in government. Maron and Benish (2021) suggest that another form of power is the capacity of members to deploy resources, including tangibles like financial resources, people, technology, and supplies, as well as intangibles like expertise, culture, and capacities. Finally, discursive legitimacy refers to a member’s ability to represent a discourse or speak on behalf of a significant societal problem.

Usually, conflicts arise because of power misusing by law enforcement or ignorance, misperception, and disobedience on the part of citizens. According to Jones and Mendieta (2021), law enforcement officers wield considerable authority, which they may use to deprive civilians of their liberty, search them and their homes, take their property, and apply force against them. Consequently, these powers are permissible under certain conditions, and law enforcement officers are educated to recognize when they can be used legitimately. Because law enforcement officers are among the most powerful jobs in society, their capacity to utilize their power is exacerbated by their frequent interaction with relatively powerless and disenfranchised individuals who may be unable to oppose an officer’s illegal use of that power.

Describe ageism and its impact on societal views of older adult clients. Explain how ageism can influence the healthcare provisions of older adult clients. As a healthcare provider, how can one best assess and confront attitudes, perceptions, behaviors, and biases toward older adults?

Effects of Ageism

It is well-known and common that older adults suffer from various kinds of diseases or body complications as compared to younger adults. This is caused by the weakening of the immune system which is responsible for protecting the body from foreign substances such as bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, and more (Medical Encyclopedia, 2020). With the increasing rate of older adults needing healthcare, healthcare workers are obligated to ensure they approach people within this age group with the right attitude and perception

INITIAL LEADERSHIP REFLECTION AND EXPECTATION SUBJECT CODE: LB5241 SUBJECT TITLE: LEADERSHIP FUTURES

Introduction Leadership is an important factor that defines the future of societies, businesses and numerous fields of organizational activity. It involves leading people and organizations towards a specific purpose using persuasion, inspiration and direction (Schedlitzki & Edwards, 2018). Historically, there have been changes in the concept of leadership where it has evolved from being synonymous with military might to the complex and evolving leadership today. The Great Man Theory, Trait Theory and Transformational Leadership theories provide insights into how different characteristics and behaviors enhance leadership (Chou, 2015). For instance, the Great Man Theory of the 19th century postulated that leaders possess inherent traits that make them apt for leadership (Benmira & Agboola, 2021). Pertaining to this point, theories such as the Transformational Leadership theory have explained that a leader should be able to motivate his/her followers beyond expectations (‘Transformational leadership,’ 2023). This paper aims at clarifying the concept of leadership in relation to the individual Leadership experience and expectations within the context of this module. Initial Reflections and Expectations In my high school, I was elected as the captain of the soccer team and being given the responsibility of leading the school project then. As a soccer team leader, I learned important lessons about encouragement and morale. In the school project, I had to lead a group comprising several members in the delegation of tasks and in decision-making and that made me realize how crucial these aspects are for a leader. My perception of leadership then was immature. Leadership is important not only in the business context; it is also significant in regulating family matters, implementing educational programs and interacting with the community (Sutherland et al., 2022). In the business context, responsible leadership that refers to values, accountability, and long-term orientations is very important (Chemers, 2014

Achieving Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing

Various factors impede the implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing. Firstly, organizational factors can affect the realization of EBP. Examples of these factors include nursing shortages and inadequate financial resources. Nursing shortages are associated with an increased workload, an overwhelmed workforce, burnout, fatigue, and demoralization (Alqahtani et al., 2022). As such, the implementation of EBP is affected. Inadequate financial resources impede the implementation of EBP, which entails the acquisition of new equipment, technology, and training of nurses (McArthur et al., 2021).

Hypothetical Health Promotion Plan Immunisation Specific Health Concern Essay

Hypothetical Health Promotion Plan Immunisation Specific Health Concern Essay

Despite the advances in medicine and research focused on improving children’s health, most children around the world are becoming more susceptible to a number of preventable diseases. Children are becoming more vulnerable to infections from both communicable and non-communicable diseases that are both preventable and treatable. The World Health Organization (2020) notes that the lives of children aged from 0 to 18 years are becoming more threatened by these diseases. This is due to changes in the climate, increased environmental pollution, compromised and harmful marketing of foods, sedentary living, poor eating habits, increased risk of injury and experiencing conflict and violence, and inequalities in governance and health care systems. Childhood immunization can help manage these diseases that are threatening the lives of several children in the United States. However, the current immunization efforts face various barriers, such as misinformation on vaccines and concerns over the safety of child-targeted vaccines. Through health promotion and education, the issues of misinformation and other concerns related to vaccines can be addressed, and trust in vaccines is restored. This paper addresses childhood immunization and why it is a healthcare issue of concern and important for health promotion among U.S. parents. It will also provide a summary of agreed-upon goals with the health promotion plan participants.

Childhood Immunization and Vaccination

Immunization through the use of vaccines has proved to be one of the greatest successful developments in medicine and health care that has had the greatest impacts on human life and the survival of humanity. Vaccines targeted toward infectious diseases have been developed for use in both adult and childcare settings which have greatly helped save lives and provide other health-related benefits to society (Piot et al., 2019). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) (n.d.), vaccines improve the ability of natural immunity to provide protection against diseases and infections. Vaccines currently help prevent the loss of up to five million lives a year. Based on the benefits of vaccines on how the body responds to infections, achieving full childhood immunization can ensure that children in the U.S. can live better and healthier lives and reach adulthood.

Children are expected to complete most of their designated vaccines by the end of their 6th year from birth. However, many children in the U.S. are not receiving the recommended number of vaccines or a not getting any vaccinations. The rate of unvaccinated children has quadrupled between 2001 and 2017, further growing by three percent (Hill et al., 2019). Evidence shows that the growth rate of unvaccinated children in the U.S. is due to uninformed parent choices, lack of health coverage, misappropriation of vaccination drives, and system discrimination (Hill et al., 2019).

Need for Health Promotion for Childhood Immunization

Immunization, especially for children, as earlier noted, is important for children’s healthy development and their ability to overcome infectious diseases. Failure to have children vaccinated has major negative health consequences. Failure to vaccinate a child can lead to the child getting seriously ill, having a lowered quality of life, poor physical and mental development, as well becoming a risk factor for causing disease outbreaks within the family and the community (UNICEF Indonesia, n.d.). Additionally, failure to fully vaccinate the children can further lead to a lowered community life expectancy and increased costs of child care and upbringing due to costs related to disease complications.

The current increase in the rate of unvaccinated children and the level of vaccine hysteria due to false vaccine risks make childhood immunization and vaccination an important healthcare issue that requires a health promotion plan. There are numerous conspiracies related to the safety of vaccines for children. Although children may indeed have adverse reactions after vaccination, the benefits of vaccines in developing acquired immunity outweigh the risks of vaccination (Nakayama, 2019). Misinformation on the safety of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic has proved the extent to which lack of vaccine information, misinformation, and other social-economic factors interact to determine vaccine acceptance (Malik et al., 2020). A health promotion plan will create awareness and provide health education related to the need for childhood vaccination as well counter the misinformation about vaccine safety and other community concerns.

 Discuss the Potential Impact of Specific Health Care Policy Provisions on Outcomes and Patient Experiences

 

Healthcare, a regulated discipline, is bound to several legal and policy provisions. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act is an example of a policy provision that found immense use in modern healthcare. This policy encourages using meaningful healthcare technologies such as the EHR in care provision. The healthcare goals of the HITECH Act are to improve the efficiency, quality, and safety of the healthcare system, improve care coordination, enhance privacy and security of protected health information, and improve the health status of communities. This act oversaw the widespread integration of an electronic health record system that significantly enhanced work efficiency in the healthcare system.

The provisions of the HITECH Act have positively impacted patient experiences and clinical outcomes. By encouraging the use of healthcare technologies, the HITECH Act eliminates barriers to enhanced patient experiences, such as privacy and security breaches and poor access to care. It has also eased workflow within the healthcare system (Gettinger & Zayas-Cabán, 2021). Implementing this policy has resulted in improved efficiency of healthcare provision processes, enhanced security of protected health information and clinical outcomes, improved patient satisfaction with the care process, and improved patient experiences. Atasoy et al. (2019) note that adopting meaningful healthcare technologies that succeeded in the HITECH Act had clinical care benefits, with enhanced patient experiences evident. This further reinforces the significance of this act in improving clinical outcomes and patient experiences.

How might discrimination in the workplace influence the resolution of the crisis of generativity versus stagnation? Additionally, tied in the article Structural racism as a fundamental driver of Health Disparities

Discrimination at work can significantly impact an individual’s developmental themes in adulthood, as it intersects with various aspects of personal growth and well-being. The developmental themes of adulthood, often explored within developmental psychology, include factors such as identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity, as outlined in Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development and further elaborated upon by other theorists. Unemployment, underemployment, and a hostile work environment can significantly negatively impact a person’s ability to progress on the developmental tasks of middle adulthood. These tasks are related to career, family, and personal growth (Newman & Newman, 2017).

Agreed Upon SMART Goals for Childhood Immunization

Increasing the rate of vaccination is among the major behavioral objectives of Healthy People 2030. In collaboration with key community representatives, setting SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound) goals is important for promoting childhood immunization. The SMART goals were developed to provide clarity on what we needed to achieve, the deadline of the goals, and to guide the operations of the health promotion plan. The SMART goals were also used as motivation for the team to achieve the goals. The agreed-upon SMART goals include the following:

Identify the current gaps in childhood immunization,

Identify and address community-level concerns over childhood immunization,

Identify barriers to childhood immunization in the U.S and develop barrier-specific solutions applicable in 12 months,

Identify community-level resources to support immunization awareness and childhood immunization drive.

Conclusion

Immunization can protect children from major infectious diseases. Generally, immunization is a healthcare development that guarantees national and global health security. Many parents may keep their children from vaccination to vaccine safety concerns, disinformation, and misinformation. As such, a childhood-focused health promotion plan can help address the identified concerns on childhood immunization.

Summary of Key Ethical and Policy Issues Affecting Care Coordination in Nursing Homes

Summary of Key Ethical and Policy Issues Affecting Care Coordination in Nursing Homes

The clinical complexities of nursing homes may sometimes bring ethical issues in care provision. Ethical issues in nursing homes include informed consent, advanced care planning, and patient access to privileged information. Federal policies such as the Nursing Homes Reforms Act (NHRA), Medicare and Medicaid, HIPAA, and Hospital Readmission Reduction Program play a role in nursing home oversight and significantly influence care coordination in these care facilities. These policies are mainly targeted at enhancing the quality of the care provided in these care facilities, directing funding, and protecting the rights of nursing home residents. Policy issues that may be present in nursing homes include breaches of privacy and confidentiality in PHI and deterioration of quality of care (Bowblis & Ghattas, 2019).

Green, Yellow, Red- State APN Practice Privileges and Prescriptive Authority

Inarguably, Advanced practice nurses (APNs) ‘practice of privilege and prescriptive authority differs across states. The green, yellow and red color codes identify nurses’ practice environments. The red code denotes restricted practice, yellow denotes reduced practice, and green denotes full practice. The State of California defines APNs’ practice privileges and prescriptive authority through its State’s regulations. In California, nurses’ practice environment is red-coded. This means that nurse practice in the State is restricted (Winter et al., 2020). In this regard, nurses are expected to only practice under close supervision by physicians.

WPA vs WPA2 vs WPA3- WiFi Security Differences

 

These encryption methods are used to protect WLANs from unauthorized access (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was first implemented in 2002 by Wi-Fi Alliance to eliminate network security issues experienced in WEP. Therefore, WPA came with MIC calculation for improved security (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), introduced in 2004, is an improvement of WPA. WPA2 protects information using CCMP protocol and for encryption. It is available in two versions; WPA2 – enterprise and WPA2 – personal. Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) was introduced in 2018, and it is an improvement of WAP2 (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). It protects public networks efficiently because it eliminates brute force attacks, unlike in WPA2. Do you need urgent assignment help ? Reach out to us. We endeavor to assist you the best way possible.

Compare And Contrast Their Strengths and Weaknesses.

WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 encryption methods were developed in different years where a predecessor encryption method was succeeded by an improved encryption method (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). Consequently, a successor encryption method offers better security features. WAP performs better than WEP, an earlier version of encryption, because it is compatible with most vendor devices. Also, WAP encrypts data better than WEP because of the MIC calculation feature. The 802.11 standards are well implemented in the WAP2 compared to WEP and WAP. WAP2 also uses CCMP to protect data from unauthorized persons.

CCMP encrypts and decrypts to ensure that man cannot access data in the middle when being transmitted. Only the receiver can have it decrypted at the destination. This is done using a pre-shared key and AES encryption. WAP3 has better encryption as compared to WAP2 – enterprise and WAP – personal. It protects data using Simultaneous Authentication of Equals as compared to WAP2’s Advanced Encryption Standard (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). This improvement protects against the KRACK attack that was present in WAP2. Consequently, it is difficult to successfully perform a KRACK attack or brute force attack on a public network protected by WAP3. This is because an attacker cannot access old traffic from a network and decode it (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). Devices that are not WAP3 enabled cannot access a WAP3 protected network connection. This is efficient in ensuring that the network is secure.

WAP3 Preference

Using the WAP3 encryption method would be prudent because it offers the strongest protection against network attacks (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). According to Bartoli (2020), it is evident that using an encryption method lower than WAP3 would expose the network to attackers. The experiments illustrated remote connections to a server using WAP, WAP2, and WAP3 and the vulnerabilities that would be experienced in the three encryption methods. In WAP and WAP2 encryptions, it was possible for unauthorized persons to access data. However, in WAP3, no data could be obtained illegally. The only notable challenge in WAP3 was that connection authorization failed for some devices that were not WAP3 compatible (Bartoli, 2020). The Simultaneous Authentication of Equals is efficient in implementing WAP3 encryption. This would be used together with other standards based on the security needs of a network. For example, 802.1x could be used with 196-bit security to fully protect a network. 802.11s standard could also be employed as it checks on mesh network security. The Simultaneous Authentication of Equals ensures that all legal peer devices on a network are identified to avoid attackers from gaining access (Srikanth & Reddy, 2019). Therefore, the 802.11s would work well with SAE.

Leadership Strategies That Could Lead to an Interdisciplinary Solution

The FNP will be required to develop and adopt various leadership strategies and competencies to lead the necessary change to achieve an interdisciplinary solution. The major leadership strategies, in this case, include adopting open communication. Changing the culture of communication to an open one during organizational change has been noted to be valuable in creating future value as it supports the open exchange of formal and informal information knowledge among members of interdisciplinary teams (Veile et al., 2020). Open communication will therefore aid the FNP in communicating the change process, the visions, and the inclusion of the views of each change agent.

Four Pillars of Transformational Leadership and the Effect on Influencing Policy Change

Four Pillars of Transformational Leadership and the Effect on Influencing Policy Change

The first pillar of transformational leadership is idealized influence. This pillar builds trust, honor, approval, and confidence, thus providing the employees with a sense of direction (Doody & Doody, 2012). This happens when nurse leaders are role models to other staff members. When a nurse is a role model to others, it becomes easier for other staff members to embrace change or any new policies and initiatives that are to be executed.

Why Advocacy is Considered an Essential Component of the APN’s Role

One of the procedures in advanced care emphasized by nursing organizations worldwide is nursing or patient advocacy. Davoodvand, Abbaszadeh, & Ahmadi (2016) believe that advocacy shows the expert power of nursing and assists in providing quality care. Overall, advocacy refers to defending the property and rights of other people (Davoodvand, Abbaszadeh, & Ahmadi, 2016). In nursing, it entails representing patients by defending their universal rights and patient rights, supporting the patients’ decisions, contributing to the decision-making process, and protecting the patient’s interests (Davoodvand, Abbaszadeh, & Ahmadi, 2016).

Evidence-Based Practice Model and Importance of Credible Evidence in EBP Models

As the prevention of medication errors is a collective effort of nurses, health care providers, patients, and everyone involved in the medication process, the Knowledge to Action (KTA) Framework is the most suitable EBP model in this situation. The KTA model is suitable for reducing and preventing medication errors as it facilitates the application of evidence and knowledge across various stakeholders to achieve the objectives of the inter-stakeholder goals, in this case, the reduction of medication errors. Therefore, credible evidence is required to bring together the stakeholders and guide them toward achieving their goals in the medication process.

Background

The nursing shortage is one of the major issues that need immediate attention in the US and other parts of the world. According to Kim, Park, Han, Kim and Kim (2016), the US government employed more than 100,000 new nurses in 2002. However, the demand for nurses in the country was not affected by the move. The author argued that the government should do more to combat the problem in a move to improve patient outcome. One of the issues that were found to cause a nursing shortage in healthcare facilities is low employee satisfaction.

Access, Cost, and Quality for APNs

The roles and responsibilities of advanced practice nurses (APNs) reflect their relevance in healthcare. The autonomy of APNs is dependent on the policies and regulations of the state. For instance, states that acknowledge the autonomy of nurse practitioners include Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, Hawaii, Massachusetts, South Dakota, and Nebraska (Clarke, 2022). In this context, full autonomy means that APNs are permitted to practice fully without being supervised by physicians (Clarke, 2022).

Discuss strategies to provide care to patients who are from different cultures and may have different cultural beliefs. For example, what might the APN do if the patient refuses a high-quality, evidence-based treatment meant to cure the illness because of cultural beliefs? How can the APN respect cultural beliefs while still providing quality care? In what ways can the nurse do more than simply “do no harm?”

GDP and Shadow Economy

A shadow economy refers to economic transactions that are deemed illegal. One of the reasons that render such activities illegal is the failure to comply with government requirements on reporting. Besides, the nature of the said goods and services may be illegal organically. In the US, for instance, the shadow economy comprises activities like street drug selling and prostitution (Zumbrun, 2013). It is difficult to gauge the size of such activities because no government reporting occurs to determine their extent.

A Change Project in a Local Government Agency in New Zealand

Overview

The case study highlights the element of communication and its role in the process of change. This scenario is depicted by a local government agency within New Zealand. The process of change was led by a team with two individuals. The change was intended to introduce compulsory reviews by peers for all the advice papers and create various pre-developed tools. Communication of this change process was critical to the government agency. While resistance occurred initially, the process of communication turned the situation around. The staff felt involved in the process and demonstrated a greater desire to participate. The change introduced considerable progress as the results showed improvement four months later (Dawson et al., 2017).

Questions and Answers

What does this case study tell us about communication and change?

Based on the case study, communication determines or influences the success or failure of change. Communication is about connecting with the people who will be affected and have the potential to influence the change (SHRM, 2022). Communication brings people together and creates a commitment and synergy that should lead to the expected vision (Kotter, 2009. This way, change becomes easy to implement as people demonstrate greater cooperation. The Agent’s decision to obtain the staff’s opinions regarding the intended change was a wise step that led to tremendous success. Staff felt incorporated in the process and demonstrated greater collaboration.

Applying Project Management Approaches for a Quality Improvement Practice Gap-Fall prevention in hospitals

Fall prevention remains a quality improvement measure in healthcare. It eliminates adverse events attributable to hospital falls. Najafpour et al. (2019) note that in-patient falls are common quality compromises in healthcare that result in injury, prolonged hospital stays, and hospital readmission. Fall prevention enhances clinical outcomes and eliminates extra healthcare costs. Safety rounds, environmental adaptations, utilization of assistive devices, and clinician education on fall prevention are some of the best practices in fall prevention that considerably lowers the prevalence and incidence of falls in hospital care settings.

Potential Impact of a Health Care Policy on Outcomes and Patient Experiences

Change Management Aspects that Directly Affect Elements of Patients’ Experiences

To identify aspects of change management that impact patients’ experiences, we must first define and analyze the elements of patients’ experiences. Oben (2020) defines patients’ experiences as interactions that patients and their families have with the care systems. Elements of patients’ experiences include but are not limited to effective communication with caregivers, ease of accessing information, feeling of self-worth and being cared for, and feeling of trust and being trusted. Several aspects of change management directly affect these elements. According to Errida & Lotfi (2021), stakeholder engagement, communication, leadership alignment, and the organization’s design may directly affect elements of patients’ experiences.

Healthcare stakeholders play a role in influencing care provision in various care organizations. Their engagement in the care process can help leverage the available resources required to enhance patients’ experiences. Leadership alignment is also necessary since leaders inspire organizational vision in their employees. Leadership alignment towards changes that enhance patients’ experiences will have ripple effects on the patients. Communication is another significant aspect of change management that may affect caregivers and, ultimately, the patients. Effective communication of the change process to caregivers may enhance their buy-in to change processes. This may be particularly beneficial if the change process impacts patient experiences.

The Rationale for Coordinated Care Plans Based on Ethical Decision Making

The ethical decision-making approach bases clinical decisions on ethical provisions. The nursing code of ethics plays a role in this regard. These provisions help nurses in their clinical decision-making processes and help them navigate presenting ethical challenges. Ethical approaches in coordinating care imply that all caregivers use the code of ethics provisions in their clinical decisions. The ethical codes of beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and autonomy are significant in this respect. The consequence of ethical approaches in care is often evident in patient satisfaction and enhanced clinical outcomes (Varkey, 2020). Patient satisfaction is enhanced when clinicians involve their patients in designing therapeutic plans for them, allowing them to make independent decisions about their health. Clinical outcomes are enhanced because clinicians select therapeutic options that promote the welfare of their patients and do no harm to them. An underlying assumption in the ethical approach to care is the absence of cultural influences and other interpersonal experiences on clinicians’ decision-making processes.

Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following: A description of your core values. A personal mission and vision statement.

Personal Leadership Philosophies

Effective leadership is central to organizational success. Vidman & Strömberg (2020) assert that the impact of leadership on the work environment depends on who the leaders are, their values, and their leadership approach toward change management and interaction with employees. The significance of nurse leadership in care organizations inspires aspiring nurse leaders to equip themselves with best practices in health care leaders and the strategies for acquiring and maintaining leadership skills that produce positive changes in care organizations.

Grading Requirements The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Care Coordination Presentation to Colleagues Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

The Potential Impact of Specific Health Care Policy Provisions on Outcomes and Patient Experiences

Several healthcare policies influence healthcare administrations and may consequently affect clinical outcomes and patient experiences. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical (HITECH) Act is an example of a healthcare policy that has a significant impact on clinical outcomes and patient experiences. This policy promotes the implementation of meaningful health information technologies in care operationalizations. Health technologies such as telehealth maintain significance in bridging communication gaps in healthcare that result from proximity. This makes the HITECH provisions important in the overall care provision processes.

The provisions of HITECH have a considerable impact on several aspects of patients’ experiences. Lite et al. (2020) report that the HITECH Act has significantly improved the security and privacy of electronic PHI through EHR and enhanced healthcare communications and delivery. The overall consequence of these provisions is often evident in improved patient trust in the care services and satisfaction with the care processes.

Nurse’s Vital Role in the Coordination and Continuum of Care

Nurses play an essential role in coordinating care processes for patients with chronic disorders. Their knowledge of the disease processes, coupled with their roles in patient advocacy and education, makes them invaluable in addressing patients’ needs and leveraging other organizational resources to help their patients. We should, therefore, maintain and enhance our knowledge of coordinative approaches in healthcare and how we can utilize our nursing knowledge to influence aspects of patient experiences.

In conclusion, care coordination is integral to quality maintenance and enhancement approaches in care. Caregivers should thus know various collaborative strategies that enable care coordination. Significant in care coordination are aspects of change management that foster patient-centeredness by enhancing patient experiences. Also important in the pursuit of coordinated care are the policies that affect care operationalization and delivery.

Diabetes and Drug Treatments

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by marked hyperglycemia. Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is characterized by an absolute deficiency of insulin resulting from beta cell destruction. The disease is predominant in children and younger adults. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by a functional deficit of insulin attributable to insensitivity to the insulin produced or insulin secretory defects. This type is most predominant among older adults. Gestational diabetes is a subtype of DM that manifests during the gestation period.

PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach – Diabetic Complications

 

Evidence-based approaches in chronic care have been lauded for their effectiveness in optimizing clinical outcomes and improving patient experiences. These approaches utilize the best available evidence to inform clinical decision-making and best practices in managing these conditions. The PICOT framework maintains significance in implementing these approaches in practice. This framework helps identify a health issue in management and guides the search for evidence that addresses the issue. It forms the groundwork for exploring scientific resources that form part of best practices in comprehensive care for chronic disorders. Long-term complications of diabetes remain an area in chronic care that can be explored using this framework. This paper analyses long-term complications of diabetes as a healthcare issue through the PICOT framework and identifies and analyzes sources that relate to diabetic complications.

Definition of a Practice Issue to be Explored Using the PICOT Framework

Diabetic complications remain a global concern, having been implicated in significant morbidity and mortality. Long-term complications of diabetes present a particular challenge to diabetic management due to their high potential to cause deterioration in the quality of life of individuals and even death. Microvascular complications are the most common causes of diabetic blindness, chronic kidney disease, and diabetic foot. These presentation causes significant functional deficits among people with diabetes and fetche considerable healthcare costs. Macrovascular complications such as stroke are more severe and have been implicated in significant mortalities (Albarakat & Guzu, 2019). The severity and consequence of these complications warrant their address.

The PICOT framework identifies specific issues within management that can be addressed effectively using best practices found in the literature. This framework will guide internet searches for evidence as it outlines care areas that need addressed. Specific concerns in the comprehensive care of long-term complications are fragmented approaches in care or poor care coordination. In this case, a PICOT formatted question will be: In diabetic patients with long-term complications of the disease presenting to the clinic (P), do care coordination and collaborative paradigms (I) confer any therapeutic benefit compared to fragmented approaches (C) in minimizing long term complications of diabetes (O) within 12 months (T) of home-based management. This PICOT question will give insight into best management practices in diabetic care that reduce the likelihood of developing diabetic complications. The interventions proposed in the questions may considerably improve the outcomes of patients with diabetes.

Sources of Evidence that Could be Potentially Effective in Answering a PICO(T) Question

Sources of Evidence that Could be Potentially Effective in Answering a PICO(T) Question

Sources of evidence that can effectively answer this question include journal articles that detail the effectiveness of collaborative paradigms and care coordination approaches in patients with chronic disorders under home-based care. Journal articles on the coordination and continuum of care for diabetic patients transitioning to home-based approaches and those on the effectiveness of care coordination approaches in managing long-term complications of diabetes may as well be useful.

The article “Team-Based Care to Improve Diabetes Management: A Community Guide Meta-analysis” by Levengood et al. (2019) outlines team approaches in diabetic management. This article is potentially effective in answering the PICOT question outlined above as it details an intervention that can help reduce diabetic complications. It assesses the effectiveness of team-based care in chronicity and concludes that it lays the groundwork for comprehensive diabetes management and is vital in reducing the likelihood of long-term diabetic complications (Levengood et al., 2019). This article could thus potentially be used to address the PICOT question.

Another article that could potentially be used to answer the PICOT question is “Interprofessional Collaboration and Diabetes Management in Primary Care: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Patient-Reported Outcomes” by Nurchis et al. (2022). This article evaluates the impacts of interprofessional collaborations in comprehensive diabetes management through patient-reported outcomes. This article addresses the interventions and outcomes sections of the PICOT questions. Findings from the article reveal that inter-professional collaboration interventions positively impacted several aspects of diabetic care, including lowering the likelihood of diabetic complications and enhancing patient satisfaction with the care process (Nurchis et al., 2022). This article thus maintains utility in answering the PICOT question outlined.

The potential of the articles outlined above to answer the PICOT question was determined using the Ask, Access, Appraise, Apply, Audit (5As) model. In this criteria, a source or an article that addresses a component of the PICOT question is accessed via various web search tools and databases before being critiqued or appraised for its ability to answer the question effectively. The information in these sources is then applied to answer the question. Articles or sources that meet this criterion are chosen

Examples Of How The Care Team Can Meet The Patient’s And The Family’s Needs

Examples Of How The Care Team Can Meet The Patient’s And The Family’s Needs

There are many ways in which the care team can meet the needs of cancer patients and their families. One example is through the provision of physical care, such as administering chemotherapy and managing side effects, as well as addressing any other physical needs the patient may have (Riklikiene et al., 2020). Emotional support is also important and can be provided through counseling, support groups, and other resources to help the patient and family cope with the psychological challenges of cancer. In addition to physical and emotional support, it is also important to address the patient’s and family’s social and spiritual needs (Pilotto et al., 2020). This may involve connecting the patient and family with social services and community resources, as well as providing spiritual support through chaplaincy services or other spiritual care resources.

Care Team Members And How They Are Involved In Providing Multidimensional Care

The members of the care team can vary depending on the specific needs of the patient and the resources available at the healthcare facility. However, the care team may typically include medical professionals such as oncologists, nurses, and other specialists, as well as social workers, chaplains, and other support staff (Hui & Bruera, 2020). Each care team member plays a vital role in providing multidimensional care to the patient and family. Oncologists and other medical professionals manage physical symptoms and provide medical treatment for cancer. Nurses, specialists, social workers, and chaplains offer emotional, practical, and spiritual support to patients and their families. The care team works together to provide comprehensive, multidimensional care. Overall, providing a multidimensional approach to caring for cancer patients and their families is essential in addressing the complex and holistic needs of the patient and family. By addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the patient and family, the care team can help to improve the patient’s overall well-being and quality of life during a challenging time.

Impact of Heart Disease among Black Americans on Quality of Care, Patient Safety, and Costs to the System and Individual

Impact of Heart Disease among Black Americans on Quality of Care, Patient Safety, and Costs to the System and Individual

Heart disease is a healthcare issue of concern in the United States today. There are higher prevalence and mortality rates among the Black American population related to heart disease than in other racial groups (American Heart Association, 2022). During my practicum, I have noticed that heart disease significantly impacts the quality of the care patients receive and that heart disease compromises patient safety. I have also noticed high care costs for people with heart disease. For instance, a patient I was assigned to during my practicum had been diagnosed and admitted with coronary artery disease. Later, the patient was diagnosed with prediabetes and clinical depression. He needed to be attended to by different care professionals to manage his health conditions. This led to the patient spending more to meet the care costs needed to manage the comorbid conditions. Additionally, there was a case where a patient had taken the wrong medications, citing “confusion over having to take so many medications.” Besides this, I also noted that the billings sent to Medicaid and Medicare for covered patients were slightly higher than those without heart disease.

The available evidence is consistent with my observations of how heart disease affects the quality of care and safety of the patient. Heart disease impacts the quality of care, the safety of patients, and the costs of care as it is a factor for patients developing other diseases. Depression and cardiovascular are common comorbid in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (Inoue et al., 2020). Additionally, research shows an increased risk of cardiac mortality in people with comorbid depression and diabetes (Farooqi et al., 2019). Having heart disease and other comorbidities can negatively impact the quality and safety of the care patients receive. Comorbidity in heart disease requires using multiple medications for both heart disease and other diseases, which is a risk for medication administration errors that impact the quality and safety of the patient. Besides these, the medications for managing and treating heart disease and other comorbid diseases have side effects and can lead to adverse outcomes that threaten patient safety, which can further influence adherence to the prescribed medications (Easthall et al., 2019).

Research evidence also supports the observations related to the increase in care costs in heart disease patients with comorbid diseases such as depression and diabetes. The cost of treating two or more diseases is higher than treating one. From a general disease perspective, a research study in New Zealand showed that having more than one non-communicable disease increased the burden of disease and contributed to higher health system costs (Blakely et al., 2019). Another study by Nichols et al. (2020)focused on comparing expenditures for managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with and without comorbid diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and heart failure. Nichols et al. (2020) found that comorbidities increased the costs of care for CKD by 31 percent, as well as the rate of hospitalizations and costs associated with hospitalizations by 61 percent as compared to people without comorbidities (Nichols et al., 2020).

Mr. D Mr. D is a 90-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with complaints of nausea, vomiting, left arm pain, and chest pain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed, and he is diagnosed as having a myocardial infarction. Mr. D has a long history of comorbidities, including hypertension, diabetes, and congestive heart failure (CHF). With this in mind, the physician asks Mr. D if he wants life-sustaining measures taken (e.g., CPR, mechanical ventilation, etc.) should he experience cardiopulmonary arrest. Mr. D tells the physician that he wants all measures taken to save his life.

Life-Sustaining Measures Decisions

Scenario

Mr. D is a 90-year-old male who presents to the hospital with complaints of left arm pain, nausea, vomiting, and chest pain. His electrocardiogram results are used to confirm a primary diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Mr. D’s medical history includes diabetes, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. The physician consults Mr. D on whether life-sustaining measures such as mechanical ventilation and CPR should be performed on him if he suffers from a cardiopulmonary arrest. Mr. D agrees that every possible measure should be conducted to save his life in case of a cardiopulmonary arrest.

Risks and Benefits of Life-Sustaining Measures

Life-sustaining measures can relieve Mr. D’s suffering caused by cardiopulmonary arrest. After a successful life-sustaining measure, Mr. D’s body resumes functioning and regains his quality of life. Life-sustaining measures are costly; therefore, performing them at a patient’s request, regardless of the patient’s condition, can be considered a waste of resources (Huffman & Harmer, 2022). Life-sustaining measures in some patients prolong the dying process. Certain measures, such as life support, can cause pain, worsening a patient’s quality of life. Measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation can save a patient’s life but also damage and crack the patient’s ribs and lungs and sometimes lead to death (Goyal et al., 2022).

Factors Considered

Life-sustaining measures are not beneficial to every patient; therefore, a physician must consider patient-specific and individualized factors. Factors considered include The patient’s reasons for choosing life-sustaining measures, possible advantages of life-sustaining measures in this patient, the risks incurred by the patient in case a life-sustaining measure is performed, the patient’s age, current treatment plans, compliance with the current treatment plan and past medical history.

Family Member Response

As Mr. D’s family member, I would support his decision since he has the right to accept or reject life-sustaining measures (Huffman & Harmer, 2022). I would be encouraged by the patient’s will to live to learn more about myocardial infarction and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. I will take it upon myself to ensure the patient complies with his treatment plan to prevent a cardiopulmonary arrest. I respect the patient’s personal and religious beliefs on life and death. As a family member, I will support the patient financially and psychologically. I will discuss with the patient to determine their fear of death and offer support.

How to Provide Culturally Competent Care in Nursing

As a nurse, it is important to ensure that all patients receive culturally competent care, regardless of their cultural background. Several steps can be taken to ensure that the department provides culturally competent care to all patients. One method is to educate oneself about different cultures and their healthcare beliefs and practices (Sharifi et al., 2019). This can be done through reading, attending cultural competency training sessions, or working with interpreters who are familiar with the patient’s culture.

Introduction
Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to community and public health with regard to health promotion, disease prevention, and environmental and public safety. They have also been instrumental in shaping public health policy. Today, community and public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues. The goal of community and public health nursing is to optimize the health of individuals and families, taking into consideration cultural, racial, and ethnic groups, communities, and populations. Caring for a population involves identifying the factors that place the population’s health at risk and developing specific interventions to address those factors. The community/public health nurse uses epidemiology as a tool to customize disease prevention and health promotion strategies disseminated to a specific population. Epidemiology is the branch of medicine that investigates the causes of various diseases in a specific population (CDC, 2012; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

As an advocate and educator, the community/public health nurse is instrumental in providing individuals, groups, and aggregates with the tools that are essential for health promotion and disease prevention. There is a connection between one’s quality of life and their health literacy. Health literacy is related to the knowledge, comprehension, and understanding of one’s condition along with the ability to find resources that will treat, prevent, maintain, or cure their condition. Health literacy is impacted by the individual’s learning style, reading level, and ability to understand and retain the information being provided. The individual’s technology aptitude and proficiency in navigating available resources is an essential component to making informed decisions and to the teaching-learning process (CDC, 2012; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

Use a form that clearly identifies your concepts and proposition such as; “psychosocial development (Concept A) progresses through (Proposition) stages (Concept B)”. Identify and define the concepts involved and the proposition between them. For example, a surgical unit nurse may have observed that elevating the head of the bed for an abdominal surgery patient (Concept A) reduces (Proposition) complaints of pain (Concept B). The concepts are the head of the bed and pain. The proposition is that changing one will decrease the other. Raising the head of the bed decreases pain. Use current literature to define your concepts. Each concept should have at least two supporting references.

Impact of US Demographics and Healthcare Reform on Clinical Practice Guideline

The guidelines reveal that ethnicity affects statin metabolism. An increase in the number of Asian Americans is suggestive of an increase in slow metabolizers of statins (Reiter-Brennan et al., 2020). As such, the guideline will be modified to specify the dosage of statins such as rosuvastatin that should be administered to patients from various ethnicities. Healthcare reforms that champion lowering the cost of lipid-lowering medication may alter the practice guidelines. For instance, PCSK9 inhibitors can be the first-line approach for patients who are hypersensitive to statins and ezetimibe.

Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations. Name one method for improvement for each of these and discuss why it is important for you to work on these skills if you want to present your findings in a more formal setting. Sustaining change can be difficult, as many variables can affect implementation. One critical component of EBP is to ensure that practice change is part of an organization’s culture so it will continue to impact outcomes over time. Name two potential barriers that may prevent your EBP change proposal from continuing to obtain the same desired results 6 months to a year from now and your strategies for overcoming these challenges.

Nurses should demonstrate appropriate leadership skills in the workplace. These skills will enable them to interact effectively with their colleagues and patients. Furthermore, these skills enable nurses to spearhead various initiatives and influence their colleagues to fulfil organizational goals and objectives. As such, leadership skills optimize the work environment, improve workflow, improve the quality of care and patient experiences, and minimize healthcare costs. Examples of these skills include open communication, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. Appropriate leadership will enable nurses to leverage economic models to introduce evidence-based practices that reduce treatment costs. Economic models evaluate the impact of an intervention on healthcare costs (Jones, 2023). These models enable nurse leaders to adopt the best initiatives in the workplace.

Informatics and Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators

Informatics and Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators

The American Nursing Association (ANA) established the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI®) in 1998 to track and report on quality indicators heavily influenced by nursing action.

NDNQI® was established as a standardized approach to evaluating nursing performance in relation to patient outcomes. It provides a database and quality measurement program to track clinical performance and to compare nursing quality measures against other hospital data at the national, regional, and state levels. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators help establish evidence-based practice guidelines in the inpatient and outpatient settings to enhance quality care outcomes and initiate quality improvement educational programs, outreach, and protocol development.

The quality indicators the NDNQI® monitors are organized into three categories: structure, process, and outcome. Theorist Avedis Donabedian first identified these categories. Donabedian’s theory of quality health care focuses on the links between quality outcomes and the structures and processes of care (Grove et al., 2018).

Nurses must be knowledgeable about the indicators their workplaces monitor. Some nurses deliver direct patient care that leads to a monitored outcome. Other nurses may be involved in data collection and analysis. In addition, monitoring organizations, including managed care entities, exist to gather data from individual organizations to analyze overall industry quality. All of these roles are important to advance quality and safety outcomes.

The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics supports the monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 8–10 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses’ role in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results.

Assignment: Off-Label Drug Use in Pediatrics The unapproved use of approved drugs, also called off-label use, with children is quite common. This is because pediatric dosage guidelines are typically unavailable, since very few drugs have been specifically researched and tested with children. When treating children, prescribers often adjust dosages approved for adults to accommodate a child’s weight. However, children are not just “smaller” adults. Adults and children process and respond to drugs differently in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

On February 7th, I met with a 62-year-old African-American client at the VA who was experiencing alcohol withdrawal. He’s been clean for four weeks now. He checked himself into rehab after he developed an alcohol problem following the deaths of his wife (who passed away peacefully in her sleep) and son (who was shot and killed in Minneapolis on his way home from church). He began drinking heavily under the false assumption that doing so would alleviate the pressure he was under. I went to his group therapy sessions with him and saw that he was trying to cut down on drinking.

Tate is a 30-year-old client. When he was 16, he was in foster care and began to show signs of the prodromal symptoms of schizophrenia. At 17, he began to experience hallucinations and delusions. He was hospitalized for treatment where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and treated with risperidone which was effective in managing his symptoms. At 18, he graduated from high school and aged out of foster care leaving him with no support system. He did not have consistent housing and frequently stayed with friends and acquaintances. Over the next few years, he was hospitalized with several acute psychotic episodes. Following the most recent episode, he was prescribed olanzapine 15 mg

Can you explain the different formulations of risperidone LAI?

Can you explain the different formulations of risperidone LAI? Risperidone is one of the most used antipsychotic medications used in the treatment of both acute and maintenance of schizophrenia. Numerous studies have shown risperidone to be an effective treatments for psychotic symptoms. Risperidone is now available in a variety of formulations, such as oral tablets, oral solution, orally disintegrating tablets, and as powder for solution for long-acting injection (LAI). The LAI formulations of antipsychotics is an important component in the treatment and adherence of patient with schizophrenia (Madaan et al., 2011). Risperidone can LAI comes as subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. One example of LAI is perseris. Perseris is a long- acting injectable (LAI) formulation of risperidone. It is the first subcutaneous available antipsychotic. Perseris is FDA-indicated to treat adults with schizophrenia. Another LAI is Uzedy.UZEDY (risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension for subcutaneous use is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults.

Interpersonal Communication and Dynamics

 

Introduction
Baccalaureate-prepared nurses have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to patient care outcomes during clinical experiences. Research suggests that creating and sharing video reflections may enhance learning (Speed, Lucarelli, & Macaulay, 2018).

For this assessment, you’ll present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and reflect on various aspects of your capstone practicum experience. Such reflection will give you a chance to discuss elements of the project of which you are most proud and aspects of the experience that will help you grow in your personal practice and nursing career.

I will explain Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory for this discussion post. Nurses may use Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to determine patient care strategies and objectives when providing direct patient care. This theory involves a 5-level pyramid that uses physiologic needs as the base, or foundation, of the pyramid. The following levels include protection, a sense of belonging/affection, self-esteem, and self-actualization. Therefore, Maslow’s Hierarchy Theory (Concept A) advances through physiological needs, protection, a sense of belonging/affection, self-esteem, and self-actualization (Concept B). This pyramid is useful when a nurse needs to prioritize patient care. Since the theory is represented via hierarchical tiers, a patient must master the lowest level before advancing to a higher level within the pyramid. In this case, psychological requirements, such as food, water, oxygen, and shelter, must be met before the patient exceeds specific protection needs, such as security and s

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory 

Hello,

This is a great description of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory in nursing and health care in general. From a personal perspective, the theory is basically the essential theoretical framework that can be used to understand human motivation and behaviour. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory classifies needs into various levels and categories to help understand what hails a person. As you have noted, the theory is useful when a nurse seeks to determine the areas of a patient’s wellness that need to be prioritized. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory can help identify health problems based on unmet physiological and psychological needs and help maximize patient care and health outcomes (Li, 2020). Therefore, by reviewing the patient’s symptoms based on Maslow’s theory, nurses can understand what the patient actually needs and lacks that can contribute to their ill health, especially in mental health settings.

Besides the application of Maslow’s theory in understanding the patient’s needs and helping nurses provide the best care for their patients, the theory can also help understand the needs of the nurses and how to best attend to their own needs first. As Maslow’s theory of Hierarchy of needs explains how humans get motivated to act or achieve higher levels of themselves, nurses who have fully satisfied their basic needs, such as safety and security, will be more motivated to do the best in delivering care to fulfil their career goals best and achieve self-actualization (Hayre-Kwan et al., 2021). Therefore, the application of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory in nursing can help improve the experiences of patients and provide approaches to motivate nurses to improve their performance and experiences in patient care.

Case 3 F.P. is a 66-year-old man hospitalized for surgical management of an enlarged prostate. His chart indicates that he has had Parkinson’s disease for 5 years prior to admission, and has been managed with a dopamine precursor (levodopa/carbidopa). He also has a seizure history, having experienced a seizure about 20 years ago as a complication of a motor vehicle accident. He took an anticonvulsant medication for many years but stopped taking it about 3 years ago because he was “tired of taking it” and hadn’t had a seizure since the accident. Discussion Questions 1. What types of motor difficulties would F.P. be expected to exhibit related to his Parkinson’s disease? 2. What is the rationale for managing Parkinson’s disease with a dopamine precursor? 3. What safety and activities-of-daily-living problems might F.P. have encountered while hospitalized? 4.

Pathophysiology of Alzheimers Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia

Pathophysiology of Alzheimers Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia

Both Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are neurodegenerative disorders that lead to dementia. However, they have different underlying pathophysiologies. The accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain characterizes AD. The aggregation of beta-amyloid protein forms beta-amyloid plaques, while neurofibrillary tangles consist of abnormal tau protein. These pathological changes lead to the degeneration and death of nerve cells, particularly in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. The progressive loss of these brain regions results in memory impairment, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes (Fan et al., 2020). AD’s exact cause is not fully understood, but environmental and genetic factors, as well as aging, play a role in its development. Do you need urgent assignment help

Introduction
Organizational data, such as readmission rates, hospital-acquired infections, falls, medication errors, staff satisfaction, serious safety events, and patient experience can be used to prioritize time, resources, and finances. Healthcare organizations and government agencies use benchmark data to compare the quality of organizational services and report the status of patient safety. Professional nurses are key to comprehensive data collection, reporting, and monitoring of metrics to improve quality and patient safety.

Leadership, Collaboration, Communication, Change Management, and Policy Considerations

Introduction
Nurses in all professional roles work to effect positive patient outcomes and improve organizational processes. Professional nurses are leaders in problem identification, planning, and strategy implementation—skills that directly affect patient care or organizational effectiveness.

Too often, change agents jump to the conclusion that an intervention will promote the envisioned improvement. Instead, the ideal approach is to determine which interventions are appropriate, based on an assessment and review of credible evidence. Interventions could be patient-facing or involve a change in policy and process. In this assessment, you’ll identify and make the case for your practicum focus area, then explore it in depth from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective.

This assessment lays the foundation for the work that will carry you through your capstone experience and guide the practicum hours needed to complete the work in this course. In addition, it will enable you to do the following:

Develop a problem statement for a patient, family, or population that’s relevant to your practice.
Build a body of evidence that will inform your approach to your practicum.
Focus on the influence of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy on the problem.
Preparation
In this assessment, you’ll assess the health problems of the patient, family, or population that will be the focus of your capstone project. Plan to spend approximately 2 hours working with a patient, family, or group of your choice to explore the problem from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective. During this time, you may also choose to consult with the subject matter and industry experts about the problem (for example, directors of quality or patient safety, nurse managers/directors, physicians, and epidemiologists).

To prepare for the assessment, complete the following:

Identify the patient, family, or group you want to work with during your practicum. The patient you select can be a friend or a family member. You’ll work with this patient, family, or group throughout your capstone project, focusing on a specific healthcare problem.
Begin surveying the scholarly and professional literature to establish your evidence and research base, inform your assessment, and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.
In addition, you may wish to complete the following:

Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you’ll be asked to complete and how it will be assessed.
Review the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 1 [PDF], which provides guidance for conducting this portion of your practicum.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s Writing Support page.

Evidence-Based Proposal and Annotated Bibliography on Technology in Nursing

Introduction
Before you begin to develop the assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Annotated Bibliography Formative Assessment. Completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment and count towards course engagement.

Rapid changes in information technology go hand-in-hand with progress in quality healthcare delivery, nursing practice, and interdisciplinary team collaboration. The following are only a few examples of how the healthcare field uses technology to provide care to patients across multiple settings:

Patient monitoring devices.
Robotics.
Electronic medical records.
Data management resources.
Ready access to current science.
Technology is essential to the advancement of the nursing profession, maintaining quality care outcomes, patient safety, and research.

This assessment will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of how technology can enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will prepare an annotated bibliography on technology in nursing. A well-prepared annotated bibliography is a comprehensive commentary on the content of scholarly publications and other sources of evidence about a selected nursing-related technology. A bibliography of this type provides a vehicle for workplace discussion to address gaps in nursing practice and to improve patient care outcomes. As nurses become more accountable in their practice, they are being called upon to expand their role of caregiver and advocate, including fostering research and scholarship to advance nursing practice. An annotated bibliography stimulates innovative thinking to find solutions and approaches to effectively and efficiently address these issues.

The activity will support your success with the assessment by creating the opportunity for you to test your knowledge of potential privacy, security, and confidentiality violations of protected health information. The activity is not graded and counts towards course engagement.

Health professionals today are increasingly accountable for the use of protected health information (PHI). Various government and regulatory agencies promote and support privacy and security through a variety of activities. Examples include:

Meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR).
EHR incentive programs should be provided through Medicare and Medicaid.
Enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules.
Release of educational resources and tools to help providers and hospitals address privacy, security, and confidentiality risks in their practices.
Technological advances, such as the use of social media platforms and applications for patient progress tracking and communication, have provided more access to health information and improved communication between care providers and patients.

At the same time, advances such as these have resulted in more risk for protecting PHI. Nurses typically receive annual training on protecting patient information in their everyday practice. This training usually emphasizes privacy, security, and confidentiality best practices such as:

Keeping passwords secure.
Logging out of public computers.

SUBJECTIVE The patient is a 31-year-old male. He states that his insomnia has gotten progressively worse over the past 6 months. Per the patient, he has never been a “great sleeper” but is now having difficulty both falling asleep and staying asleep at night. The problem began approximately 6 months ago after the sudden loss of his fiancé. The patient states this is affecting his ability to perform his job as a forklift operator at a local chemical company. The patient states he has used diphenhydramine in the past to sleep but does not like the way it makes him feel the morning after. He states he has fallen asleep on the job due to lack of sleep from the night before. The patient’s medical record from his previous physician states that he has a history of opiate abuse, which began after he broke his ankle in a skiing accident and was prescribed hydrocodone/APAP (acetaminophen) for acute pain management. The patient has not received a prescription for an opiate analgesic in 4 years.

PRESIDENTIAL AGENDAS
Rather than focusing on the treatment of chronic disease, policies that influence population health tend to emphasize prevention and wellness, the reduction or elimination of waste, and the eradication of health disparities based on race, ethnicity, language, income, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and other factors. The reasoning is that good health belongs to the whole, not just an individual (New York State Dept. of Health, n.d.).

Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen has a stake in healthcare policy decisions. Hence, it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agendas. It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items.

Consider a topic (mental health, HIV, opioid epidemic, pandemics, obesity, prescription drug prices, or many others) that rises to the presidential level. How did the current and previous presidents handle the problem? What would you do differently?

Treatment for ADHD

Treatment for ADHD

The parents give the PMHNP a copy of a form titled “Conner’s Teacher Rating Scale-Revised”. This scale was filled out by Katie’s teacher and sent home to the parents so that they could share it with their family’s primary care provider. According to the scoring provided by her teacher, Katie is inattentive, easily distracted, forgets things she has already learned and is poor in spelling, reading, and arithmetic. Her attention span is short, and she is noted to only pay attention to things she is interested in. The teacher opined that she lacks interest in schoolwork and is easily distracted. Katie is also noted to start things but never finish them, seldom follows through on instructions, and fails to finish her school work.

Katie’s parents actively deny that Katie has ADHD. “She would be running around like a wild person if she had ADHD” reports her mother. “She is never defiant or has temper outbursts” adds her father.

SUBJECTIVE

Katie reported that she didn’t know what the “big deal” was. She states that school is “OK”- her favorite subjects are “art” and “recess.” She states that she finds her other subjects boring, and sometimes hard because she feels “lost”. She admits that her mind does wander during class to things that she thinks of as more fun. “Sometimes” Katie reports “I will just be thinking about nothing and the teacher will call my name and I don’t know what they were talking about.”

Katie reported that her home life was just fine. She reports that she loves her parents and that they are very good and kind to her. Denies any abuse or bullying at school. Offers no other concerns at this time.

Scenario For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on her role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in her workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization. You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI).

One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a healthcare organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justifies means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization.

Introduction
Many organizations work to better local and global communities’ quality of life and promote health and safety in times of crisis. As public health and safety advocates, nurses must be cognizant of how such organizations help certain populations. As change agents, nurses must be aware of factors that impact the organization and the services that it offers. Familiarity with these organizations enables the nurse to offer assistance as a volunteer and source of referral.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you gain insight into the mission, vision, and operations of a community services organization.

Preparation
You are interested in expanding your role as a nurse and are considering working in an area where you can help to promote equal opportunity and improve the quality of life within the local or global community. You are aware of several nonprofit organizations and government agencies whose work contributes to this effort in some way. You have particular interest in one of these organizations but would like to know more about its contributions to public health and safety improvements. You would like to report the results of your research in a scholarly paper that you could submit for publication.

Research a selected local, national, or global nonprofit organization or government agency from the list provided.

Appropriate Drug Therapy for a Patient who Presents with MDD and a History of Alcohol Abuse

Appropriate Drug Therapy for a Patient who Presents with MDD and a History of Alcohol Abuse

The patient can benefit from a combination of antidepressants and drugs used for managing alcohol use disorder. Relevant antidepressant medications include serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors such as sertraline (McHugh & Weiss, 2019). On the other hand, examples of medications used to manage alcohol use disorder include naltrexone and disulfiram (McHugh & Weiss, 2019). Notably, a combination of sertraline with naltrexone provides adequate symptomatic relief and minimizes relapse to alcohol use (McHugh & Weiss, 2019). Pharmacotherapy is contraindicated in people with known hypersensitivity. The oral solution of sertraline should not be administered concomitantly with disulfiram because it contains alcohol (McHugh & Weiss, 2019). Patients are likely to experience symptom relief after three weeks of antidepressant therapy (Stern et al., 2016).

Predictors of Late Onset Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) presents with various manifestations. To begin with, patients exhibit considerable worry and anxiety for a minimum of six months (Showraki et al., 2020). Secondly, they demonstrate an inability to control worry. Also, the patient presents with at least three of the following symptoms:  restlessness, fatigue, inability to concentrate, irritability, impaired sleep, and muscle tension (Showraki et al., 2020). Fourthly, social and vocational spheres are impaired by anxiety (Showraki et al., 2020). Fifthly, there is no biological reason/cause for the anxiety. Late-onset GAD has been linked to different risk factors. They include the female population, recent traumatic events, separation or loss of loved ones, and chronic medical conditions such as heart failure, cognitive impairments, phobias, dyslipidemia, and depression (Hellwig & Domschke, 2019).

Develop a solution to a specific ethical dilemma faced by a healthcare professional by applying ethical principles. Describe the issues and a possible solution in a 3-5 page paper. Introduction Whether you are a nurse, a public health professional, a health care administrator, or in another role in the health care field, you must base your decisions on a set of ethical principles and values. Your decisions must be fair, equitable, and defensible. Each discipline has established a professional code of ethics to guide ethical behaviour. In this assessment, you will practice working through an ethical dilemma as described in a case study. Your practice will help you develop a method for formulating ethical decisions. Ethical Dilemma faced by a health care professional by applying ethical principles Ethical Dilemma Faced by a Health care professional by Applying Ethical Principles Instructions Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide.

 

In the case study, the healthcare professional involved sought to address the problem of overuse of emergency services by a few individuals. The professional recognized the ethical dilemma of providing care to these individuals while also being responsible for managing the hospital’s resources effectively. To resolve this dilemma, the professional adopted a multi-faceted approach. They first attempted to educate the individuals on managing their health concerns outside of the ED. Secondly, they attempted to coordinate with community resources to provide primary care access to individuals. Finally, the professional considered implementing a care coordination program to better manage these individuals’ care.

Overall, the professionals managed their professional responsibilities and priorities well in addressing this ethical issue. They recognized the need to balance providing care to these individuals with managing the hospital’s resources effectively. They also took a proactive approach to address the root causes of the problem by attempting to educate the individuals and coordinate with community resources.

This case provides important lessons for healthcare professionals in adopting a proactive and collaborative approach to address ethical issues. It highlights the need to balance patient care with resource management and emphasizes the importance of effective communication and collaboration with community resources.

Decision Point One: Vivitrol 380mg IM in the Gluteal Area Every 4 Weeks

 

The patient presents with alcohol dependence. Vivitrol (Naltrexone) is an opioid antagonist. It is used in the management of opioid dependence and alcohol use disorders. It was selected because it maintains effectiveness in altering the reinforcing effects of alcohol that induce euphoria and cause impulsivity toward consuming it (Sharma et al., 2020). Depot injection of Naltrexone 380mg provides more favorable outcomes as they eliminate the need for daily pills that may be troublesome to persons with alcohol dependence. The patient, in this case, may benefit from IM Naltrexone.

Hello, please use HIV as the subject for the assignment. Course Competency Critique access to global healthcare. Scenario As a clinical nursing instructor working in a global health setting, you are creating a case study for your nursing students to help them better understand access to global healthcare. Instructions Based on a current global health problem, develop a case study scenario and two open-ended questions related to the scenario. Provide answers with rationales to the case study questions. The case study scenario should address variables affecting access to healthcare in a global population (at least five) The first question, answer, and rationale should address how culture and other variables impact global healthcare access. The second question, answer, and rationale should address how health disparities affect global health populations. Use APA format for citations and reference lists. Information should be supported by professional evidence published within the past

Case Study – Access to Global Healthcare

Access to healthcare is a major determinant of community and public health. Current approaches to enhancing access to healthcare services have been centered on expanding insurance coverage to vulnerable and low-income earners, healthcare technological innovations such as telehealth, cultural responsiveness in healthcare delivery, public education on care provisions, and others. Despite their effectiveness, poor access to healthcare is still a challenge in some American societies, with physical, social, economic, and cultural barriers still being implicated as causal factors for poor access to care. This paper explores variables affecting access to global healthcare through the lens of a case study on HIV

True Friendship and Happiness in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics

In the first book of his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle calls his investigation one “of social and political matters,”[1] whose “end [telos]… is the good for man.” The work’s focus, then, is on the good for man, which is inseparably tied to politics, which in turn envelops each and every kind of relationship.[2] Friendship, as one of those relationships, is thus tied to “the good for man”—Aristotle goes so far as to call it “some sort of excellence or virtue [that] is… most indispensable for life.” Not only is friendship essential, but it is itself a virtue, and an indispensable one at that. The telos of politics, Aristotle says, is “the good for man,” and “the main concern of politics is to engender a certain character in the citizens and to make them good and disposed to perform noble actions” (NE, I.9:1099b30-32).

Discussion Prompt Select and describe the key characteristics of one vulnerable population from your practice or locale and discuss why this population is considered vulnerable. Include one or two health practices and beliefs of the chosen population that increase the vulnerability of the population. Describe how you, in an advanced nursing role, could be an advocate for this vulnerable population at the local, state or national level.

Vulnerable Populations – The Homeless

Generally, a vulnerable population refers to a group of individuals who are considered disadvantaged compared to the rest of the population. The vulnerable groups may include children, pregnant women, those of low socioeconomic status, people without homes, and members of the LGBTQ. For this assignment, the vulnerable group of discussion will be the homeless people living in shelters. Homelessness has been and is still an issue in my state, California, and there have been movements and campaigns to end homelessness. Homeless people are considered vulnerable because they risk adverse health outcomes compared to the general population. Compared to the rest of the population, the homeless have insufficient finances for housing and even medical services. Furthermore, they also lack the finances to access healthy foods, which is a risk factor for several diseases, such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases, among others.

The homeless tend to indulge in certain health practices that make them more vulnerable. For instance, most adolescents in homeless families indulge in drug abuse, which puts them at risk of mental health disorders such as schizophrenia and substance use disorder (Moore, Astor & Benbenishty, 2019). Other drugs and alcohol may pose even worse effects on physical health. The other issue is overcrowding, which is a risk factor for communicable diseases such as tuberculosis. According to Liu, Chai & Watt (2020), people experiencing homelessness are at a higher risk of getting communicable diseases than the dominant population. As a result, primary healthcare interventions are key to avert the risks.

As healthcare providers, we must advocate for policies that ensure the health and safety of the homeless. As an advanced care nurse, I would advocate for the provision of shelter to all individuals, including those of low socioeconomic status. House is a basic need that all individuals deserve regardless of their ethnicity, race, or financial status. Locally, I would advocate for health equity for everyone. Each individual deserves access to health, including mental health services. Given the risks to mental health among the homeless, providing them with free mental health services would be crucial.

Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society. Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislator’s perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape. Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA.

Healthy People 2020 highlights the significance of sleep health in promoting the health of communities. It focuses on increasing communities’ knowledge of the importance of sleep adequacy in health maintenance and preservation. These provisions form the basis of the arguments by Schmeer et al. (2019) in the article “Family Contexts and sleep during Adolescence.” This article explores inter-individual sleep variations among adolescents as a factor in their family environment. According to the article, adolescents living in families with low socioeconomic status, unmarried parents, low economic security, and high caregiver stress are more likely to demonstrate intra-individual sleep variation. The authors conclude that family, economic, and social contexts are contributory to sleep disorders among adolescents. This paper critiques this article.

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is to protect the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region. Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulationss Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions. To Prepare: Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public

Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations

In Minnesota, the regulations governing Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) are set by the Minnesota Board of Nursing (MBON). This paper will compare Minnesota’s APRN Board of Nursing regulations with California’s. To follow this, in Minnesota, APRNs have limited prescriptive authority and can prescribe medications independently within their scope of practice. However, there are restrictions on controlled substances, and APRNs must have a written collaborative agreement with a physician to prescribe these medications (MBON, 2021). However, In California, APRNs have full prescriptive authority and can prescribe non-controlled and controlled substances without a collaborative agreement.

When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes, anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety. In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy. Post a description of the health policy you selected and a brief background for the problem or issue being addressed. Which social determinant most affects this policy? Explain whether you believe there is an evidence base to support the proposed policy and explain why. Be specific and provide examples.

Health Policy – Medicare for All Act

One recently proposed health policy is the Medicare for All Act. This policy aims to establish a single-payer healthcare system. This will offer comprehensive healthcare coverage to all Americans. It seeks to address the issue of limited access to affordable healthcare and rising healthcare costs in the country. The proposal says that a single-payer system would eliminate the complexities of multiple insurance plans. It would also reduce administrative costs and guarantee that healthcare is a right for everyone. However, the proposal has also faced opposition. There are multiple debates regarding its feasibility and potential impact on the economy.

We’ll write everything from scratch Question  Please reply to this question from my Professor based from the Week 5 discussion that I posted. AACN Agendas Did the AACN discuss how they set agendas every year?

AACN Agendas

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the major force behind excellence and innovation in nursing education, research, and practice. The AACN openly discussed how they set agendas every year. The AACN adopted a new nursing education framework, “The Essentials: Care Competencies for Professional Nursing Education,” as an update to the previously existing framework, which has been in place since 1986 (American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), 2021). The implementation of the new framework will lead to substantial changes to the nursing curriculum, learning and assessment activities, and transition to practice with significant implications for health and nursing regulation (Giddens et al., 2022). The Essential Framework defines the quality of nursing education and will continuously guide the AACN in setting the association’s yearly agenda. As per AACN, the Essentials framework is a bridge towards filling the transitional gap between nursing education and nursing practice. It guides the AACN in its policy and advocacy role to push for regulations that improve the quality of education by integrating education and practice to support the transition from education to the nursing role in clinical settings.

Through the new Essentials, AACN determines priority areas and focuses its policy and advocacy agenda on such areas to support regulatory bodies and ensure sound policies are formulated and implemented. For instance, the AACN has set its priorities for academic nursing in its 2023-2024 federal policy agenda as per the core policy values of sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation set by the new Essentials. The set priorities for the 2023-2024 policy agenda include advancing higher education, pursuing transformative research, developing a robust workforce, and redefining models of care. Therefore, the AACN sets agendas for every year based on priority areas of need that can significantly advance the nursing profession to improve health care to meet prevailing needs.

Three Healthcare Issues, an Intervention for Each Issue, and Community Resources for Each Health Intervention

Severe Anxiety

HBP patients majorly develop episodes of severe anxiety. This is a mental health disorder in which the patient will consistently experience episodes of intense fear, worries over life and health, and the future outcomes of their health due to the HBP. Severe anxiety significantly lowers the quality of life of HBP patients. The mental disorder is closely associated with morbid depression, and stress can also reduce the capacity of the patient to perform their daily life activities (Ponte Márquez et al., 2019).

Case Study – Allergic Rhinitis

Pathophysiology & Clinical Findings of the Disease

Identify the correct hypersensitivity reaction:

The symptoms the patient exhibits are typical of allergic rhinitis, the most prevalent type 1 hypersensitivity response mediated by IgE (Abbas et al., 2021). Allergy rhinitis occurs when an allergen is inhaled and causes nasal membrane inflammation. This kind of reaction goes under a few different names: allergic reaction, instant reaction. This is corroborated by the patient’s outward appearance and the amelioration of her symptoms during her Caribbean vacation. Therefore, the allergen is not present in the patient’s immediate surroundings. Treatment, such as antihistamines, is typically required to confirm AR. The correct sensitivity response seems to be established if the patient improves while using this medication.

Explain the pathophysiology associated with the chosen hypersensitivity reaction:

An allergic reaction, also known as a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction, results from a complex interaction between several immune system components. When an allergen comes into contact with the body, it is quickly taken up by antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. After ingesting the antigen, B cells produce allergen-specific antibodies known as IgE. Nasal basophils and mast cells might be targeted by IgE antibodies (Abbas et al., 2021). When exposed to the allergen for a second time, the protein on the mast cell surface will bind to the IgE antibodies. The classic symptoms of allergic rhinitis result from the mast cells’ production of inflammatory chemicals such as Histamine, leukotrienes, and cytokines. These bring on allergy rhinitis symptoms. Histamine is the most potent of these messengers and is responsible for most of the unpleasant effects of allergic rhinitis. Rhinorrhea, or a stuffy or runny nose, is one of these symptoms. Nasal membrane enlargement and increased mucus production result from releasing these mediators. This occurs because the mediators increase vascular permeability.

Physical, Psychosocial, and Cultural Considerations for High Blood Pressure Care Coordination Plan

Physical, Psychosocial, and Cultural Considerations for High Blood Pressure Care Coordination Plan

Designing a care coordination plan for HBP requires making the patient the focus of the care delivered. Evidence shows that applying the element of patient-centered care in managing HBP patients influences care practices with significant impacts on the outcome of care (Buawangpong et al., 2020). Patient-centered care considers the patient’s physical, mental, and psychological status, as well as their culture, beliefs, and other world views.

Physical Considerations

Coordinating care for HBP patients must consider the physical well-being of the patient. This includes both body weight, physical and mental abilities, ability to read and write, and other aspects of the individual, such as daily activity levels. These are essential for deciding on medications, dosage, and designing the care plan and the level of need required to take the right medication, doses, and at the right time.

Psychosocial Considerations

The care coordination plan for HBP considers the patient’s mental health, living conditions, region, emotional state, and available support. These are essential to model the care plan to further meet the patient’s psychosocial needs to best manage their HBP status as well as improve their access to needed care.

Cultural Considerations

Cultural considerations are critical facilitators for a patient-centered care plan (Kwame & Petrucka, 2021). When coordinating care for HBP patients, one must understand and appreciate the cultural values and beliefs of the patients and how they influence their participation in the care plan. This helps deliver care the patient can easily relate to and adhere to the plan.

Community Resources for a Safe and Effective Continuum of Care

The available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care for HBP include:

  1. Locally accessible health clinics and community health centers.
  2. Online support groups across the U.S. focused on improving HBP awareness.
  3. Online educational resources provided by reputable organizations, such as the CDC and the American Heart Association
  4. Emergency health and lifestyle coaches accessible via video call services
  5. Home health services that support the delivery of patient-centered HBP care (Pourat et al., 2019).

Conclusion

HBP is a healthcare issue of concern due to its adverse effects on the health and quality of life of affected persons as well as its risk for developing chronic health conditions. However, HBP is manageable and reversible. Conclusively, a patient-centered coordination care plan can help achieve or improve patient and health outcomes and ensure a safe and effective continuum of care for HBP patients.

The Relationship Between The Level of Education and Health Status

 

Hello,

This is a great post. I agree with you. The relationship between the level of education and health status is undeniably significant. However, access to quality education determines the income level of an individual as well as the income within the household level. This means that people living in poverty or from low-income households are more likely to miss the opportunity to access quality education.

Arthur Miller’s play ‘Death of a Salesman’ research paper

I have chosen Arthur Miller’s play ‘Death of a Salesman’ written in the year 1949. This play is a tragedy about the differences between a family dreams that are based in New York and the reality of their lives. The play is a sarcastic attempt on the American Dream and of the materialistic approach of American society of 1940s lately. The play’s storyline describes Willy Loman, a mediocre male, flop gentleman who attempts to hide his averageness, failures and disappointments behind delusions of magnificence as he strives to be a successful individual.

Self-Assessment Reflection Becoming self-aware is an ongoing process requiring introspection. The more often people practice self-reflection, the more opportunities they have to understand their own behaviors and adapt their approaches to working with other people, which can improve both your own and other’s abilities to meet their professional goals. In a 1,000-1,250-word reflective essay, address the following: Provide a rationale and brief summary for selecting each self-assessment. Summarize the results you obtained on each assessment. Identify the leadership style that closely aligns to your philosophy of care and explain what appeals to you about that style. Reflect on how you might incorporate elements of that particular style as you exercise leadership in a practice or health care organization setting. Discuss any particular areas for improvement the assessments helped you identify and some steps for improving your leadership capabilities. Analyze the characteristics of an e

 

Self-awareness and effective leadership are critical attributes for nurse practitioners. Nurses and nurse leaders require reflective approaches to understand their leadership attributes and improve self-awareness. Self-awareness allows nurse leaders and nurses to recognize their strengths, weaknesses, and values. Understanding one’s emotional intelligence level and leadership style helps in developing effective leadership for nurse practitioners in different settings (Cummings et al., 2021). The purpose of this paper is to reflect on leadership style based on self-awareness tests. The paper explores the different self-assessment tests and their results, leadership style closely aligning with the nursing philosophy, characteristics of an effective professional nurse leader, and a leadership theory that supports professional nurse leaders in different ways like collaboration and conflict resolution.

The identified practice gap for my practicum DNP project is the lack of peer support services for patients with traumatic experiences at my clinical practicum site. The proposed change is a quality improvement (QI) initiative incorporating peer support in trauma-informed care (TIC) to accelerate recovery. The project will be implemented at the Advantage Crisis Stabilization Unit, a Behavioral Health Crisis Center that provides crisis stabilization, temporary observation, and crisis walk-in services. Peer support entails having people from diverse backgrounds share common trauma experiences. Owing to their similar experiences and shared understanding, patients may create trust with their peer support worker and will be more ready to engage in treatment.   The purpose of this paper is to critique a quantitative research article related to my topic, including the study’s strengths and weaknesses. In addition, I will recommend changes to improve the quality of the study and discuss the implications of the study for nursing practice.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and modifying dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (Gautam et al., 2020). CBT can be effective in various settings, including individual, group, and family therapy, but each setting has its own unique challenges and considerations for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs). CBT in individual settings involves one therapist dealing with one client at a time. It allows the therapists to tailor the CBT techniques to the unique needs and goals of the clients, allowing for a personalized approach and deep exploration of the client’s dysfunctional thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors (Gautam et al., 2020).

Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen has a stake in healthcare policy decisions. Hence, it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agendas. It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items. Consider a topic (mental health, HIV, opioid epidemic, pandemics, obesity, prescription drug prices, or many others) that rises to the presidential level. How did the current and previous presidents handle the problem? What would you do differently? Reference: New York State Department of Health. (n.d.). Making New York the healthiest state: Achieving the triple aim. Retrieved June 21, 2021 from https://www.health.ny.gov/events/population_health_summit/docs/what_is_population_health.pdf

Presidential Agendas – Opioid Epidemic

The social determinant that most affects the opioid epidemic is socioeconomic status. Numerous studies have shown that individuals with lower socioeconomic status are at a higher risk of opioid misuse and addiction (CDC, 2020). Poverty, unemployment, lack of education, and limited access to healthcare contribute to this disparity. Socioeconomic status influences the availability of resources for prevention, treatment, and support, exacerbating the opioid crisis among vulnerable populations (CDC, 2020). Subsequently, the approach to addressing the opioid epidemic has varied in recent years

Understanding Neurobiology – Neurons, Subcortical Structures, Glia Cells, Synapses, and Neuroplasticity

 

A neuron is a basic unit of the nervous system. The anatomy of a neuron is made up of a cell body that houses the nucleus, dendrites, axons, and synaptic terminals (Camprodon & Roffman, 2016). When a neuron is activated, electrical impulse conduction occurs, and the dendrites receive incoming signals, such as from a hot or cold surface. The electrical signal travels to the cell body, where the axon picks them up and moves them toward the synaptic terminals (Caire et al., 2022). Due to the signal, the synaptic terminals trigger

THE ROLE OF THE RN/APRN IN POLICY EVALUATION In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making. A critical component of any policy design is the evaluation of the results. How comfortable are you with the thought of becoming involved with such matters? The Role of the RN-APRN in Policy Evaluation The Role of the RN-APRN in Policy Evaluation Some nurses may be hesitant to get involved with policy evaluation. The preference may be to focus on the care and well-being of their patients; some nurses may feel ill-equipped to enter the realm of policy and political activities. However, as you have examined previously, who better advocates for patients and effective programs and policies than nurses? Already, patient advocates are involved in interactions with doctors and leadership, so why not with government and regulatory agencies?

Policy evaluation is important when assessing the impact and effectiveness of healthcare policies and programs. Clear points of view and more knowledge from professionals like Registered Nurses and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses can positively impact the assessment of these policies. Nurses can participate in policy assessment by advocating for the patients and developing evidence-based policies that address inequality in healthcare (Mergoni et al., 2022). It will bring out better outcomes for the patients. This write-up shows how maternal health concerns are evaluated in the health care program while reflecting on health-social determinants.

 Abstract Case study

An interview with an Iranian immigrant mother and her 23-year-old daughter highlights the difference that their cultural lenses create in their mutual expectations. Very typical of children becoming Americanized, the daughter wants to fit into the social scene with her friends while the mother wants her to respect the cultural norms of her generation from Iran. The way she dresses, the fact that she doesn’t live with her mother even though she is unmarried, and the amount of time devoted to her family are all issues in this session. Their therapist, who is also an Iranian woman is present at the consultation. How do we assist families in this predicament? In an epilogue to the program, Gonzalo makes his session transparent and provides afterthoughts about the work.

Experimental Designs 

The article “Evidence-based Nursing Education for undergraduate students” has a lot to do with the body of nursing knowledge based on science and evidence. This study offers a preliminary experimental investigation into the efficiency of undergraduate students’ evidence-based nursing education. The study’s findings advance the scientific understanding of nursing by providing empirical proof of the efficiency of evidence-based education strategies in enhancing students’ knowledge (Oh & Yang, 2019). The results of this study can influence the development and application of evidence-based nursing curricula and teaching methods, which will support evidence-based practice.

Quasi-Experimental Designs 

The article “Types of Nursing Intervention to Reduce Impact of Bullying and Aggression on Nurses in the Workplace” is highly pertinent to evidence-based practice and scientific nursing knowledge. This study examines various nursing tactics that aim to decrease the negative impacts of bullying and aggression on nurses at work. By shedding light on evidence-based strategies that can aid in creating a secure and encouraging work environment for nurses, the research advances scientific nursing knowledge (Yosef et al., 2022). The findings of this study have immediate implications for evidence-based practice because they help healthcare organizations and nursing leaders design and implement specific interventions to protect nurses’ well-being and job satisfaction. Ultimately, this research promotes a healthy work environment, improves nurse retention, and enhances the overall quality of patient care.

Case Study- Multimorbidity in Older Adults

Multimorbidity among older adults is an issue of healthcare concern in primary care settings (Gontijo Guerra et al., 2019). A majority of morbid health conditions in older adults have related symptoms that create confusion over the source of the symptoms hence complicating diagnosis (Corbett & Bridges, 2019). Adequate and targeting questioning is required as a part of the medical history. The case study of focus involves a 75-year-old man who presented himself to the office with a major complaint of persistent dry hacking cough that does not improve with over-the-counter treatment with antitussives and allergy medications.

FDA and/or Clinical Practice Guidelines Approved Pharmacological Treatment Options for Bipolar II Disorder

Special Populations and Considerations for Bipolar II Disorder

The impact of bipolar II disorder as well as the severity of the symptoms varies across the population. This means that the strategies applied towards the management of bipolar II disorder will differ in children, adolescents, pregnancy/post-partum, older adults, and emergency care. This requires special considerations across these population groups. For children and adolescents, considerations need to focus on the diagnosis of the disorders as the symptoms tend to overlap with other related mental health issues in this population group. Children and adolescents have rapid mood changes and experience episodes of mixed feelings, majorly characterized by maniac and depressive symptoms (Abrams, 2020). The impact of bipolar II disorder in children and adolescents differs from other population groups as they are in their major developmental stages. The disorder can impact the physical and cognitive development of children and adolescents. Additionally, due to the lack of clinical trials on children, there is a need to consider the legality and ethics of available treatments as well as their effects on this population.

Pregnant and post-partum patients are considered special populations requiring special considerations for the management of bipolar II disorder. The condition in pregnant and postpartum patients is a challenge as the medications and psychotherapeutic approaches applied in managing the condition can significantly impact pregnancy and milk production. Considerations need to be made when dealing with pregnant and post-partum patients; the care approaches employed for bipolar II disorder need first to determine the potential risks associated with pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches to care. There is also a need to consider the cultural views of mental illnesses during pregnancy and postpartum period.

Elderly patients are more affected by bipolar II disorder than other populations. Although the condition can develop during the early days, it becomes prominent later, especially during the patient’s 50s. Managing bipolar II disorder in older adults can be challenging due to the presence of other conflicting illnesses related to old age. Considerations when treating bipolar disorders in older patients need to consider the manifested symptoms in relation to age-related cognitive changes as well as the age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of available modalities (Ljubic et al., 2021). Considerations also need to be made on the ability of elderly patients to access available care options as well as the ability of the patient to make sound care decisions.

Regardless of the population group, managing bipolar II disorder emergencies needs to consider several individual patient factors, such as the underlying factors of the condition, including age, health status, current medication regimen, and presenting symptoms. Despite the need for emergency care, the care providers need to consider the legality and ethics of the care delivered as well as the cultural background of the patient. These considerations are essential to ensure the care intervention is appropriate for the emergency situation and meets the patient’s preferences.

FDA and/or Clinical Practice Guidelines Approved Pharmacological Treatment Options for Bipolar II Disorder

There are multiple FDA-approved pharmacological treatment options for bipolar II disorder for children, adults, and special patient grounds, such as pregnant and post-partum women for acute and mixed treatments as well as for maintenance treatment. FDA-approved medications for acute and mixed episodes include mood stabilizers, anticonvulsants, and atypical antipsychotics. For children and adolescents aged between 10 and 17, FDA-approved medications include lithium for those above 12 years and aripiprazole, quetiapine, risperidone, and olanzapine for those above 13 years old. Several medication options for adult populations have also been approved for maintenance treatment, including mood stabilizers such as lithium, antipsychotics such as olanzapine and risperidone, and antidepressants and antidepressant-antipsychotic medications. Psychotherapy and psychosocial support are also approved treatment options for bipolar II disorder by clinical practice guidelines for major mental illnesses (Marzani & Neff, 2021).

Side Effects, FDA Approvals, and Warnings of Medication Treatment Options

The major side effects and warnings of the FDA-approved treatment options for treating bipolar II disorder vary across specific medications. However, major side effects may include sedation, GI issues, increased weight gain, instances of tremors, and mood and metabolic changes. Monitoring is recommended as the side effects may vary from patient to patient,

FDA-approved medications for acute and mixed episodes include mood stabilizers, anticonvulsants, and atypical antipsychotics. For children and adolescents aged between 10 and 17, FDA-approved medications include lithium for those above 12 years and aripiprazole, quetiapine, risperidone, and olanzapine for those above 13 years old. Several medication options for adult populations have also been approved for maintenance treatment, including mood stabilizers such as lithium, antipsychotics such as olanzapine and risperidone, and antidepressants and antidepressant-antipsychotic medications. Psychotherapy and psychosocial support are also approved treatment options for bipolar II disorder by clinical practice guidelines for major mental illnesses (Marzani & Neff, 2021).

Side Effects, FDA Approvals, and Warnings of Medication Treatment Options

The major side effects and warnings of the FDA-approved treatment options for treating bipolar II disorder vary across specific medications. However, major side effects may include sedation, GI issues, increased weight gain, instances of tremors, and mood and metabolic changes. Monitoring is recommended as the side effects may vary from patient to patient,

For this assignment, you will write a 5–6-page paper on the topic of bipolar and bipolar and related disorders. You will create this guide as an assignment; therefore, a title page, introduction, conclusion, and reference page are required. You must include a minimum of 3 scholarly supporting resources outside of the resources provided by your course. Assessing and Treating Patients with Bipolar Disorder Assessing and Treating Patients with Bipolar Disorder In your paper, you will choose one of the following diagnoses: Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymic Disorder, Substance/Medication-Induced Bipolar and Related Disorder, Bipolar and Related Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition. Your paper will include a discussion of your chosen diagnosis of bipolar and related disorders on the following:

Assessing and Treating Patients with Bipolar Disorder

There are several mood disorders that patients experience with varying degrees of manifestations. Bipolar disorder is among the common mental illnesses that can either be chronic in that it persistently or constantly reoccurs or episodic in that it can occur with seasons. The symptoms of bipolar disorder are mostly observed during late adolescence or early adulthood but may also manifest in children. Bipolar disorder can be diagnosed across three distinct mental issues based on the frequency and severity of symptoms manifested. The basic types of bipolar disorder include bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, and cyclothymic disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). Bipolar disorders differ in the severity and recurrence rate of the episodes of depression and hypomania. Patients might also experience bipolar symptoms unrelated to the three types of bipolar disorders with mental conditions known as other specified and unspecified bipolar and related disorders. Bipolar II disorder is a major mental illness along the bipolar disorder spectrum that affects a significant number of people. This guide is developed to define and improve the understanding of Bipolar II disorder for mental health practitioners. It provides the prevalence and neurobiology of bipolar II disorder, its diagnostic criteria, population-specific considerations, approved pharmacological treatment options, side effects of the treatment options, FDA approvals, and warnings and examples of how to prescribe medications for Bipolar II disorder.

Prevalence and Neurobiology of Bipolar II Disorder

Bipolar II disorder is among the most common mental health illnesses. Bipolar disorders, in general, are estimated to affect about 1 percent to 2.5 percent of the world population (Marzani & Neff, 2021). Evidence shows bipolar II disorder has the highest seasonal prevalence, majorly during the onset of mood disorders (Yeom et al., 2021). The condition affects an estimated 2 percent of the U.S. population. Notably, most of the world’s population is at risk of developing bipolar II disorder. Although an estimated 4.4. percent of the adult U.S. population has had or is expected to develop bipolar II disorder, the mental illness is noted to be more prevalent among adolescents and people in their middle ages (National Institute of Mental Health, n.d.). The symptoms set up early during adolescence, while the mental disorders can be fully experienced during the early 50s. Notably, there seem to be no significant gender differences in the development of bipolar II disorder as it proportionately affects men and women at the rate of 2.9 percent and 2.8 percent of the population, respectively (National Institute of Mental Health, n.d.).

The exact etiology of bipolar disorders is not well understood. However, recent empirical evidence from analyses of bipolar disorder subtypes shows a strong but imperfect genetic correlation between the development of the disorders (Mullins et al., 2021). The genetic component affects the production and regulation of neurochemicals, especially serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters, which affect mood regulation and lead to dysregulation. Environmental factors such as stressful life and childhood maltreatment increase the predisposition to bipolar disorders (McIntyre et al., 2020).

Hello. Please follow the rubric for full points. I will post the discussions from the two students for responses later. Thank you.

Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role.

The Role of the Rn-Aprn in Policy-Making

What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? Empathetic, organized, hard-working, or advocate would all certainly apply. Would you add a policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud?

Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation. To Prepare:
Revisit the Congress.gov website provided in the Resources and consider the role of RNs and APRNs in policy-making.
Reflect on potential opportunities that may exist for RNs and APRNs to participate in the policy-making process.
Post an explanation of at least two opportunities that exist for RNs and APRNs to actively participate in policy-making. Explain some of the challenges that these opportunities may present and describe how you might overcome these challenges. Finally, recommend two strategies you might make to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities to participate in policy-making. Be specific and provide examples.

Reflection on the Teaching Plan and Teaching Session

 

It is clear from the interview with K.W. that the teaching plan and teaching sessions effectively improved the patient’s understanding of hypertension. The teaching plan also helped the patient understand and stick to the developed strategies to manage his hypertensive status. For instance, the teaching plan significantly influenced the client to change his behaviors. He notes that understanding the underlying risk factors for hypertension makes him motivated towards daily physical activity and avoiding certain foods. He also notes that he now understands the need to monitor his blood pressure as the results motivate him. However, he notes that it is hard to overcome the urge to consume fast foods as the people around him continuously eat them. This is expected as living in an environment that promotes unhealthy eating, and diets makes it hard to overcome such poor dietary patterns (Lichtenstein et al., 2021).

Despite the effectiveness of the teaching plan, there are teaching gaps, especially in the nature of the teaching materials to the patient. Short teaching videos will be adopted to replace the brochures. Evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that gamification can potentially improve the adoption of healthy living behaviors, even among elderly people (White et al., 2022). Regardless, I am impressed with the patient’s progress, and my take is that the teaching plan and sessions were a success, and I would use the same techniques again to improve the current patient’s health and even on new clients.

It is important to know all the criteria listed below before one can determine whether or not to incorporate the recommendations into practice.
Paper length 6-8 pages excluding title page and references.

For this assignment, you are to search for a practice guideline, not a summary, which is being used. Be sure you choose a guideline. It should not be an article about a guideline or a summary of a guideline, but the actual guideline. Once you have found the guideline you are to evaluate/grade the guidelines regarding the strength of the research as well as expert opinion processes used to develop the guidelines. Grade the literature the guideline was based on. One question to be answered is how often the researchers review the guidelines. It is important to know all the criteria listed below before one can determine whether or not to incorporate the recommendations. Although not required, it would be beneficial to locate and evaluate a practice guideline that aligns with the topic you have selected (or are considering) for your PICOT question and DNP project.

of 2023 The Impact of US Government Reimbursement Policies for Healthcare Providers on the Use of Telemedicine in California

Legislation Grid and Testimony/Advocacy Statement – Health Care Providers Safety Act

Telemedicine is an important aspect of healthcare service provision. As such, healthcare organizations have been supporting and promoting the adoption and application of telemedicine. As a result, reimbursement policies need to be implemented that allow for wide coverage of telemedicine services. Reimbursement policies that ensure adequate coverage for telemedicine may motivate healthcare providers to adopt the use of telemedicine in practice (Kruse et al., 2021). The United States reimbursement policies have a great impact on telemedicine adoption in various states. Notably, reimbursement policies vary across insurance companies.

He admits that he still has problems with tightness in the chest and episodes of shortness of breath- he now terms these “anxiety attacks.” He will also report occasional feelings of impending doom, and the need to “run” or “escape” from wherever he is at.

In your office, he confesses to occasional use of ETOH to combat worries about work. He admits to consuming about 3-4 beers/night. Although he is single, he is attempting to care for aging parents in his home. He reports that the management at his place of employment is harsh, and he fears for his job. You administer the HAM-A, which yields a score of 26.

The client has never been on any type of psychotropic medication.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM

The client is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event. He is appropriately dressed. Speech is clear, coherent, and goal-directed. Client’s self-reported mood is “bleh” and he does endorse feeling “nervous”. Affect is somewhat blunted, but does brighten several times throughout the clinical interview. Affect broad. Client denies visual or auditory hallucinations, no overt delusional or paranoid thought processes readily apparent. Judgment is grossly intact, as is insight. He denies suicidal or homicidal ideation.

You administer the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) which yields a score of 26.

Does Social Media Have a Positive or Negative Impact on Mental Health?

Human beings are inherently social beings with a constant need for a progressive human-to-human connection (Karim et al., 2020). Through such connections, humans have been noted to improve their mental well-being and reduce the risk of stress, anxiety, and other depressive symptoms. In fact, the deprivation of such social connections risks poor physical and mental development and poor mental health in adolescents (Orben et al., 2020). The effects of lack of social connection on mental health have been identified during COVID-19 as a result of adopted measures such as social distancing and the resulting mental health crisis (Galea et al., 2020).

PICO(T) is an aqqqcronym that helps researchers and practitioners define aspects of a potential study or investigation. It stands for: P – Patient/population/problem. I – Intervention. C – Comparison (of potential interventions, typically). O – Outcome(s). T – Time frame (if time frame is relevant). The end goal of applying PICO(T) is to develop a question that can help guide the search for evidence (Boswell & Cannon, 2015).

Please see attached the instructions and sample assignment.

If you need some structure to organize your initial thoughts and research, the PICOT Question and Research Template document (accessible from the “Create PICO(T) Questions” page in the Capella library’s Evidence Based Practice guide) might be helpful.

Instructions

Create a 3-5-page submission in which you develop a PICO(T) question for a specific care issue and evaluate the
evidence you locate, which could help to answer the question.
PICO(T) is an aqqqcronym that helps researchers and practitioners define aspects of a potential study or investigation.
It stands for:
P – Patient/population/problem.
I – Intervention.
C – Comparison (of potential interventions, typically).
O – Outcome(s).
T – Time frame (if time frame is relevant).
The end goal of applying PICO(T) is to develop a question that can help guide the search for evidence (Boswell &
Cannon, 2015). From this perspective, a PICO(T) question can be a valuable starting point for nurses who are
starting to apply an evidence-based model or EBPs. By taking the time to precisely define the areas in which the
nurse will be looking for evidence, searches become more efficient and effective. Essentially, by precisely defining
the types of evidence within specific areas, the nurse will be more likely to discover relevant and useful evidence
during their search.
You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health PCI(T) Process activity before you develop the plan proposal. This
activity offers an opportunity to practice working through creating a PICO(T) question within the context of an issue
at a Vila Health facility. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 3 successfully. This is for your own

The enlarged prostate, known as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), could be causing his urinary retention and hematuria (Alan, 2023). BPH is a non-cancerous condition where the prostate gland grows in size and obstructs urine flow from the bladder. This can lead to symptoms such as difficulty starting and stopping urination, weak urine flow, urinary urgency, and nocturia (Alan, 2023)

NUR 4590 – Deliverable 1 – Professional Identity Infographic/Leadership Attributes Memo

 

To: Management and nursing staff

From: Jane Doe

Date: April 16, 2023

Re: Leadership Attributes for a sentinel event

The reason for this memorandum is to address a situation that happened in one of our units today. I was made aware by a unit manager that this event could have possibly been preventable. This sentinel event will be investigated to determine if it occurred because of one of our nurses’ actions or lack of action. My plan is to use this sentinel event that unfortunately resulted in a negative outcome to improve our nurse leadership and ensure that this situation does not happen again.

About this event, I would make sure all data is collected. By speaking with the nurse suspected of patient abuse and gathering all other information important to this patient’s case, I will ensure to get the whole scenario. I will also talk to those who have reported any suspected abuse in any other incidents. I feel it is very important to gather all the information before moving forward with any decisions.

In regard to transitional leadership, it is directed by change in individuals and the units they work in (Huber, 2018). I encourage for now moving forward you each take the five attributes listed below and apply them to running your team and keeping them moving forward with health promotion and patient safety. Take the time to work with each member of your team and with any new and future members to teach them about the many areas that were discussed.

  1. Communication: This is a vital quality to have. Communication between all parties demonstrates talking, listening, and exchanging information to help avoid any misunderstanding and deter patient care (Weiss, 2019). Positive and negative feedback with constructive criticism is also vital. This will allow members to improve their individual growth.
  1. Solving problems: Teams need a leader who can find solutions in many circumstances. From paperwork, patient, or staff problems (Weiss, 2019). When a leader shows critical thinking abilities it promotes trust from the team members and trust as an overall group for the current and future
  2. Integrity: If you want your staff to have integrity, you should show by example. Nurses are expected to follow a personal code of ethics and the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses (Weiss, 2019). When the code of morals is followed, it demonstrates an ethical part and helps with making the best decision when focusing on our
  3. Courage: This will help a leader advance in their position. Mental fortitude is important in many circumstances such as this. It may be the reason why a colleague would bring up the possible patient maltreatment and could have stopped it before
  4. Stress Management: Nursing can be a stressful job when added to that a management position, it can lead to a more stressful situation. If we are able to effectively cope with stress in a healthier way, it can help ourselves and our team members work in an effective manner (Weiss, 2019).

Advantages and Disadvantages of Various Dissemination Mediums

Advantages and Disadvantages of Various Dissemination Mediums

Poster Presentation

The advantages of poster presentation include being suitable for presenting preliminary or ongoing research, providing a clear visual depiction of results, and encouraging audience participation (Polit & Beck, 2021). Conversely, disadvantages include limited space for details and less opportunity for in-depth discussion.

Podium Presentation

Podium presentation enables the elucidation of intricate research findings, cultivates active involvement and discussion, and provides avenues for professional networking (Polit & Beck, 2021). Nonetheless, it is associated with time constraints and limited audience interaction.

Manuscript (Publication)

This medium reaches a larger audience, creates a thorough and lasting record of the study, and builds the researcher’s reputation (Polit & Beck, 2021). However, it is a lengthy publication process and faces potential rejection by journals.

Conclusion

In summation, utilizing mixed methods research in nursing presents a highly advantageous and commendable approach to tackling intricate healthcare predicaments. The selection of paradigms, meticulous implementation of literature review methodologies, and deliberate dissemination of data are imperative in guaranteeing the veracity and significance of the research.

Is the theory congruent with current nursing standards?

Is the theory congruent with current nursing interventions or therapeutics?

            Henderson’s Need Theory is utilized still today in nursing to properly evaluate the patient’s individualized needs. “Meeting the goal of achieving the fourteen needs of the client can be a great basis to further improve one’s performance toward nursing care” (Vera, 2014,). Henderson’s fourteen components of basic human needs help the nurse to formulate a patient-specific care plan. Many nurses today use Henderson’s theory without even knowing they are. Every nurse must evaluate their patient’s activities of daily living (fourteen components of basic human needs) and formulate a care plan to promote health and independence.

            Virginia Henderson’s definition and Need Theory is a huge strength for nurses today. The nurse today whether it be a medical-surgical, emergency room, pediatric, or surgical nurse all utilize Henderson’s theory to evaluate each patient’s individualized needs. Without the work from Henderson, who knows what we would use today to evaluate the patient.

Has the theory been tested empirically? Is it supported by research? Does it appear to be accurate/valid? Explain.

 

The Need Theory has never been tested. Virginia Henderson “did not intend to develop a nursing theory, she did not develop the interrelated theoretical statements or operational definitions necessary to provide theory testability (Masters, 2015, p. 360). The Need Theory was “not written in testable terms, however, they may be reformulated into researchable questions” (McEwen & Wills, 2018, p.138). However, Henderson utilized the scientific method, deductive reasoning, to come up with the Need Theory (Rose, 2017). The Need Theory was formulated from Henderson’s personal experiences from going hospital to hospital observing the needs of the patient. Henderson’s theory is not supported by research; however, the Need Theory supported other researchers work.

            Henderson did not state her theory in testable terms, which is a major weakness of her theory. “In nursing research, each of her fourteen fundamental concepts can serve as a basis for research although the statements were not written in testable terms” (Vera, 2014, p.7). While she did use deductive reasoning to formulate her theory, this does not help distinguish the validity of the Need Theory. The one positive aspect of the Need Theory is that it has helped other researchers validate their own research.

Does the theory contribute to the discipline of nursing? In what way?

 

            There is no literature found connecting Virginia Henderson’s work to social or culture aspects of the individual. Henderson’s theory is relevant for every patient no matter the cultural or social background. She did not research the different cultures; however she just solely focused on patient needs as a whole. Instead, Henderson described her findings to help improve the patient’s health (or die peacefully) and strive for patient independence in activities of daily living (Davidson, 2013). She focused on creating a core concept for the nurse-patient relationship and put all social and culture factors aside.

            This is both a weakness and strength in Henderson’s theory. The weakness is some religions or ethnicities do not want certain procedures done. So, we have to be aware of these factors and ensure to discuss certain procedures with the patient. A strength is Henderson’s theories provides a solid core for nurse fundamentals and defines the nursing role.

A tailored treatment strategy, comprising a double dose of Proton Pump Inhibitor, Clarithromycin 500 mg, and Amoxicillin 1 gm, illustrates a thorough methodology for tackling peptic ulcers. Adhering to the Healthy People 2030 objective, this treatment regimen prioritizes optimal prescription medication use. Focusing on symptom relief, healing, and complication prevention addresses the core issues of peptic ulcers. The patient’s demographic traits, including age, smoking, and daily alcohol consumption, necessitate scrutiny. Lifestyle habits may interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness and healing process. A holistic approach to treatment should incorporate smoking cessation and alcohol reduction, as Sohlberg and Bergmark (2020) suggest.

It is important for the PMHNP to have a comprehensive understanding of mood disorders in order to assess and accurately formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan for patients presenting with these disorders. Mood disorders may be diagnosed when a patient’s emotional state meets the diagnostic criteria for severity, functional impact, and length of time. Those with a mood disorder may find that their emotions interfere with work, relationships, or other parts of their lives that impact daily functioning. Mood disorders may also lead to substance abuse or suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and although they are not likely to go away on their own, they can be managed with an effective treatment plan and an understanding of how to manage symptoms.

Patient education is an effective tool in supporting compliance and treatment for a diagnosis. It is important to consider effective ways to educate patients and their families about a diagnosis—such as coaching, brochures, or videos—and to recognize that the efficacy of any materials may differ based on the needs and learning preferences of a particular patient. Because patients or their families may be overwhelmed with a new diagnosis, it is important that materials provided by the practitioner clearly outline the information that patients need to know.

Patient Education – Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is a mental condition characterized by regular attacks of extreme fearfulness and anxiety. As a result, an individual experiences physical symptoms which are frightening but not life-threatening. Often, there is no apparent cause for the anxiety.

Signs and Symptoms

The panic attacks are usually sudden in onset, with symptoms peaking within minutes. The common signs and symptoms include rapid heartbeat, sweating, panting, trembling, shortness of breath, fear of death or losing control, and a sense of impending danger. Other individuals may also present with headaches, dizziness, feelings of detachment, numbness, abdominal pain, nausea, chest pain, and chest pain (Perrotta, 2019). The thought of having another panic attack causes even more intense fear. When one experiences the above symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention.

Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Treatment

Panic disorder can be treated with medications. The medications approved for the treatment of panic disorder are antidepressants, including Venlafaxine, Fluoxetine, and  Paroxetin, among others (Chawla et al., 2022). For best outcomes, it is important to adhere to the medications as prescribed by your doctor. The other form of treatment is psychotherapy, which helps individuals learn how to cope with the issues of panic attacks (Otte, 2022). The psychotherapy technique mostly used is cognitive behavioral therapy, where a therapist helps individuals learn to cope with their experiences.

Community Resources and Referrals

Other than psychotherapy and the use of medications. There are services in the community that may be of benefit. For instance, there are community support groups for people with similar experiences. Consequently, a person may be referred to a community support group after completing therapy sessions. Connecting with such individuals may help in the recovery process. Once medical therapy and psychotherapy sessions are completed, the healthcare provider will refer the client to social support groups available in their area.

As a leader in this organization, I would like to show the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to increasing the number of BSN RNs. In 2011, The Future of Nursing recommended increasing the number of nurses with degrees at a bachelor’s level or higher to 80% (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2021. pg. 200). This goal was not met; however, the percentage did increase. Let’s discuss how this proposal could affect the organization.

Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection Intervention Presentation and Feedback from Patients Telephone-delivered interventions (TDIs)

Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection Intervention Presentation and Feedback from Patients Telephone-delivered interventions (TDIs), particularly customized telephone training sessions, are highly promising in minimizing health problems experienced by diabetic patients. Telephone training interventions can be provided by paraprofessionals, unlike primary care interventions which medical experts must provide (Pludwinski et al., 2016). The patients are provided with a ten-minute training session each week for not more than three months in the intervention. After three months, two other ten-minutes sessions are administered each week for other three months. The provision of the TDIs is regulated by specified procedures that highlight the behavioral goals, patient's needs, patient-centered care, coordinated and collaborative care administration, and cognitive behavioral therapy to encourage behavior modification (Van de Goor et al., 2018). Preliminary evidence asserts that the interposition is viable since it improves diabetes self-management. Patients' analyses state that telephone care through customized training assists them in accessing vital data, therefore encouraging a better comprehension of vital features of their health conditions and management. Patients also asserted that the intervention provided them with an opportunity to cooperate with healthcare providers in the management of their diseases since telephone sessions are usually personalized to every patient's specific requirement. Patients who received telephone training sessions twice per week indicated high gratification levels and stated that they would advocate the interposition to other diabetic patients. How Telephone Coaching Intervention Enhances Experiences among Diabetic Patients The primary aim of the intervention is to minimize the period spent by diabetic patients in-hospital treatment by augmenting their baseline control of the ailment at moderate prices. Patients who contributed to the TDIs indicated that coach-directed collaborations and

Part Two Contribution of the Intervention to Patient or Family Satisfaction and Quality of Life

The patients were actively involved in the assessment process, and were willing to change their behaviors, to effectively manage their conditions. Similarly, each patient took part in the education, which was a key part of patient care, stressing the need for patient compliance. They also reported that using the telehealth acted as a reminder to take their medications on time, and motivated them to constantly adhere to their interventions. In addition, these patients adopted a wide range of self management strategies ranging from physical exercise and healthy diet to self-care, such as foot care for diabetics with foot ulcers. As a result, the general health if the elderly patients with chronic illnesses was greatly improved. The number of hospital readmissions resulting from noncompliance was reduced by at least 80%, showing the improvement of the patients' quality of life as well as achieving positive health outcomes. As there was effective communication between the patients and their healthcare providers, the patients' feedback revealed their improved experience along with satisfaction, leading to high rates of adherence to medications and maintenance of self management measures. Use of Evidence and Peer-reviewed Literature to Plan and Implement my Capstone Project The use of evidence from peer-reviewed literature was key to the development and planning of this capstone project. I reviewed different literature to acquire the background knowledge on patient noncompliance, its causes, effects and solutions to the problem. Moreover

How Health Policy Influenced the Planning and Implementation of my Capstone Project, and Contributions the Project Made to Policy Development

Throughout this project, I reviewed different healthcare policies that would impact on my nursing practice. Healthcare policies inform any plans, decisions made or actions taken to solve healthcare problems and provide patients with high standards of care (Mileski et al., 2017). The American Nurses Association Standards of Practice, Healthcare Portability and Transparency Act (HIPAA), Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Affordable Care Act were all useful in the development and implementation of the project. Primarily, I used the American Nurses Association Standards of Practice to guide the implementation process while ensuring adherence to the ethical codes specific to this problem. With the use of technology to access the patients' healthcare information, I found the HIPAA guidelines necessary to ensure that confidentiality was maintained, the patient information secured and patient safety improved (Brent, 2018). Moreover, as some patients were unable to afford their medications, the ACA and Medicare and Medicaid Services policies were useful in ensuring no patient failed to comply to their medication due to unaffordable healthcare costs

Ethical and Legal Issues that Would Accompany the Incorporation of the Technology

  1.  

    Despite the opportunities that come with AI use, its use in healthcare raises legal and ethical issues. One of the legal concerns linked to the use of this technology is the lack of informed consent when handling data. The apps with AI capability can mine data, and use this data even without the user’s permission. Because some of these apps have security vulnerabilities, they pose the risk of attacks, causing the breach of data privacy.

Expert Answer and Explanation

Adult Screening using Pap Smear

Clinical assessment entails an analysis of the patient’s medical history and physical health. It serves the role of determining the health risks which may predispose patients to the clinical emergency when they are receiving treatment. It is also important in the sense that it helps assess a patient’s emotional as well as their psychological response to a physiological health event.

A clinician has various options when it comes to the assessment tool they can use to examine a patient, and when selecting such tools, it is imperative that they consider the patient’s age. This is important because some tests such as Pap Smear are only used in clinical cases which involve adults. However, factors such validity and reliability of the test can equally influence the selection of the tool for performing the test (Sachan et al., 2018).

It is important to examine Pap Smear in terms of the purpose it serves, the process of performing it, the type of information it gathers, and assess the tool’s reliability and validity.

 Operational Analysis and Quality Improvement 

Today, companies, including healthcare organizations, use quality improvement in order to enhance practices and outcomes within each organizational setting. With a constant increase in the public health demands across the U.S, the implementation of quality improvement approaches has been crucial in providing support to the public health system in relation to promoting positive outcomes. This is one of the major reasons public health practitioners, including leaders in other industries, see fit to develop strategies applied in the healthcare setting. In the article “Quality Improvement in Public Health: Lessons learned from the Multi-State Learning Collaborative,” it is important to note that the researchers look deeper into the impacts of quality improvement on the public healthcare systems around the U.S through a case study of two states.

Some of the concepts in “Quality Improvement in Public Health: Lessons learned from the Multi-State Learning Collaborative” include incubators for quality improvement as well as quality improvement strategies such as upholding accreditation in the case of local state health departments. In the two case studies, Minnesota and South Carolina, some of the positive outcomes in relation to the implementation of quality improvement in their health departments include a holistic improvement of practice within the public health sector. For instance, in both states, quality improvement changes were made to suit each state’s needs, bearing in mind the relevant strategies for implementing these changes. For example, they became keen on accreditation as the stakeholders gained knowledge on quality improvement activities they can engage in to enhance both practice and outcomes within their respective healthcare settings.

Quality improvement in the public health system is a vital approach in enhancing the outcomes within the system. For example, it is important to engage primary care practices in quality improvement activities in order to achieve a triple aim in the improvement of the health of a particular population while reducing the cost of healthcare per capita as well as improving patient outcomes and experiences. According to Riley et al. (2009), quality improvement programs could be used in public health systems to improve population health by first educating the public healthcare professionals through effective training that will provide an understanding of the various ways to better the needs of the population at hand. Additionally, the main goal of quality improvement in any industry is to improve outcomes. Therefore, in order to systematically implement quality improvement programs, it is important to consider the outcomes of the program as well as every value attached to the attainment of the particular change, such as empathy and compassion to the population within which the programs are being implemented (De Groot et al., 2018).

Current research and findings in healthcare play a vital role in the future implementation of quality improvement programs as they promote the transition into the initial goals of the QI programs. Therefore, to ensure that the findings are implemented successfully in future public health policies, a specific model or tool, or strategy relevant to the population should be applied. For example, lean or six-sigma can enhance positive outcomes and reduce healthcare costs per capita. However, an ongoing evaluation of the preferred strategy must be done (El-jardali and Fadlallah, 2017) in order to improve performance continually while regularly seeking patient and staff feedback as well as revisiting the effectiveness of the interventions within the particular setting.

For example, they became keen on accreditation as the stakeholders gained knowledge on quality improvement activities they can engage in to enhance both practice and outcomes within their respective healthcare settings.

Quality improvement in the public health system is a vital approach in enhancing the outcomes within the system. For example, it is important to engage primary care practices in quality improvement activities in order to achieve a triple aim in the improvement of the health of a particular population while reducing the cost of healthcare per capita as well as improving patient outcomes and experiences. According to Riley et al. (2009), quality improvement programs could be used in public health systems to improve population health by first educating the public healthcare professionals through effective training that will provide an understanding of the various ways to better the needs of the population at hand. Additionally, the main goal of quality improvement in any industry is to improve outcomes. Therefore, in order to systematically implement quality improvement programs, it is important to consider the outcomes of the program as well as every value attached to the attainment of the particular change, such as empathy and compassion to the population within which the programs are being implemented (De Groot et al., 2018).

Current research and findings in healthcare play a vital role in the future implementation of quality improvement programs as they promote the transition into the initial goals of the QI programs. Therefore, to ensure that the findings are implemented successfully in future public health policies, a specific model or tool, or strategy relevant to the population should be applied. For example, lean or six-sigma can enhance positive outcomes and reduce healthcare costs per capita. However, an ongoing evaluation of the preferred strategy must be done (El-jardali and Fadlallah, 2017) in order to improve performance continually while regularly seeking patient and staff feedback as well as revisiting the effectiveness of the interventions within the particular setting.

The U.S. government keeps statistics on many people in America. One interesting statistic is the poverty rate The U.S. government keeps statistics on many people in America. One interesting statistic is the poverty rate. To be living in poverty, one must earn income below a certain threshold (approximately $900 per month). Many multimillionaires are included in this statistic. Recently, Barbara Streisand was “living in poverty.” In a particular year, she did not perform live, and her album sales were extremely slow. She has a great deal of wealth but had little income that year. Although she has more money than 99.99% of the rest of the population, according to the government income threshold, she was considered to be impoverished. What other statistic can you name that is misleading? Why?

[Video]. YouTube. Rorgjdvphek International

Several standards of practice deal with assessment, diagnosis, planning, and implementation. The differences and similarities are shown in the table below

Standard of Operation ANA IAFP
Assessment The nurse will collect patient data in the healthcare industry on the patient (Rorgjdvphek International Association of Forensic Nurses, n.d). Allows the nurse to focus on the patient’s immediate condition to collect patient data (IAFP, 2023).
A similarity in both is that the registered nurse is the primary individual collecting patient information.
Diagnosis The nurse will use the collected information to use for diagnosis (Rorgjdvphek International Association of Forensic Nurses, n.d). The nurse can include the patient family in the diagnosis as will deem appropriate (IAFP, 2023).
The similarity is that both systems leave the registered nurse responsible for performing the diagnosis.
Planning The registered nurse needs a patient care plan capturing the initiatives and interventions to treat the patient (Rorgjdvphek International Association of Forensic Nurses, n.d). Under IAFP, the nurse will make the plan in collaboration with the patient’s family (IAFP, 2023)
  The similarity is that both systems require a patient care plan to be prepared.
Implementation The nurse must follow only the interventions in the patient care plan. At the same time (Rorgjdvphek International Association of Forensic Nurses, n.d). Allows the nurse to partner with the patient’s family in implementing the interventions meaning that changes can be made along the way (IAFP, 2023).
The similarity is that the nurse remains the primary individual tasked with implementing the patient care plan.

The area I have found interesting is that the career is important and fulfilling, especially when it involves ensuring the safety of the public and solving crimes. My work has been used in courts of law to ensure that dangerous criminals are out behind bars (Drake et al., 2018). The other strength is that the career deals with many other fields of medicine and even the criminal justice system. I am good at this since I enjoy reading about other fields and interacting with other professionals in my professional life. The profession is quite diversified, and as a practitioner, I always find all my skills useful.

Expert Answer and Explanation

How would you approach this scenario? Apply one of the ethical principles discussed in Dynamics of Nursing: Art and Science of Professional Practice to this scenario. Discuss how organizational culture can help manage errors.

Analysis of the scenario shows that the state of the patient is different from what is indicated in charting. In this case, the physician breached the ethical principle of veracity which emphasizes integrity and honesty. From an interprofessional perspective, this kind of a situation necessitates adopting an approach in which one engages the physician, sharing with them the problem identified during the patient rounds. While discussing the problem, it is important to explain why it is important to record correct details about the patient’s state.

Focusing on collaboration as a strategy for mitigating such an issue is equally crucial because through teamwork, it is possible to manage issues that contribute to the disorientation of the patient (Varkey, 2021). By adopting collaborative measures, for instance, they can recommend making changes to the type of intervention used or suggesting assessment of the patient. In responding to the scenario, one may have to focus on advocating for the welfare of the patient by requiring providers to provide accurate details of the patient’s physical health status (Varkey, 2021)

have a duty of educating and sensitizing the community to create the

awareness of the threats poses by diabetes. For instance, nurses can

community about the causes, effects, solution, and mitigation against the

rising incidence of diabetes. At the same time, participation in local

Leadership Strategies to Improve Outcomes, Patient-Centered Care, and Patient Experience related to the Population Problem Identified

Leadership Strategies to Improve Outcomes, Patient-Centered Care, and Patient Experience related to the Population Problem Identified

Leadership is a critical tool in healthcare. It serves as the organization’s engine, providing fuel and direction as it journeys toward its objectives. Leaders are thus essential to the operation of an organization, and the strategies employed to determine whether or not the organization’s objectives are met. Transformational leadership would be used in the care of adult hypertensive patients. Collins et al. (2020) define transformational leadership as an approach that causes a change in individuals and social systems. The practicum’s goal is to develop interventions or change strategies to improve the management of the defined population health problem, so transformational leadership is the best strategy.

In terms of collaboration, strategies that would ensure the team works effectively include (1) being aware of and respecting each other’s duties, (2) effective communication, (3) viewing patients as partners, and (4) recognizing the efforts of others. Preparing the organization for change, crafting a vision and plan for change, implementing the changes, embedding the changes within the organizational culture and practices, and finally, reviewing progress and analyzing the results (Barrow et al., 2021) are the change management strategies that I anticipate will be required. The first step, which involves preparing people and organizations for change, is critical because it determines whether the subsequent phases are smooth or bumpy. With this in mind, pre-change management preparations in terms of finances, human personnel, skills, and organizational attitude are critical.

Conclusion

Change is a constant in healthcare, and it has greatly aided in the improvement of healthcare services. Before change can occur, an initial phase of identifying the problem and establishing the resources required for the change is pertinent. In the case of adult hypertensive patients, baccalaureate-prepared nurses play a significant role in identifying patient care needs and implementing evidence-based interventions and strategies to meet those needs. However, using evidence-based strategies in the care of hypertensive patients can be hampered by various factors, including a lack of appropriate evidence-based treatment protocols and clinical inertia. These challenges can be forestalled with the right leadership and collaborative strategies, enabling patients to receive high-quality, safe, and cost-effective care.

How State Board Nursing Practice Standards and/or Organizational or Governmental Policies affect the Population Problem Defined

 

Each state has its own set of nursing standards that resident nurses must follow. The standards frequently dictate independent practice and prescriptive authority. In Alabama, for example, a certified registered nurse (RN) is responsible for providing continuous and comprehensive care for a wide range of conditions for which the certified RN is educationally prepared, taking patients’ health histories and performing physical examinations, formulating working diagnoses, prescribing (albeit with limited prescriptive authority), administering and providing therapeutic measures, tests, and drugs, counseling patients, consulting and referring to other professionals (Alabama Board of Nursing, 2022).

The scope of practice established by the State Board of Nursing allows nurses to be fully responsible for the patients they care for, in this case, adult hypertensive patients. Specific organizational rules also govern how nurses care for patients. For example, certain organizations, such as the one with which I work, limit nurses’ prescriptive authority and only allow them to do so under the supervision of a physician. This can have negative consequences because one must wait for a physician to prescribe medications, which can cause the patient’s treatment to be delayed.

Role of Nurses in Policy Making to Improve Outcomes, prevent Illnesses and Reduce Hospital Readmissions.

Nurses spend significant time working directly with patients, so they are familiar with the specific needs of the people they serve. As a result, nurses can advocate for public policy changes that benefit the patients they care for. They develop policies where none exist, reform harmful or ineffective policies, and ensure those good policies are implemented and enforced (Turale & Kunaviktikul, 2019).

Effectiveness of Nursing Standards/or Policies in Improving the Population Outcomes for the Problem

 

Nurses play an integral role in the care of hypertensive patients in various ways. Nurses identify, refer, and follow up on hypertensive patients. They use the best blood pressure measurement methods and also lead blood pressure screening and verification initiatives in community settings. Furthermore, they determine whether the readings are normal or in the hypertensive range according to the site protocol and then refer for urgent care (Georgiopoulos et al., 2018). Nurses also assist in the diagnosis and management of hypertensive patients’ medications. 

According to Georgiopoulos et al. (2018), nurse-led hypertension management results in higher rates of blood pressure control than standard care. In addition, nurses provide patient education, counseling, and skill development, allowing patients to develop better self-management strategies that aid in blood pressure control. Furthermore, nurses ensure care coordination—they are skilled at establishing and maintaining both formal and informal collaborative links between providers, resources, and services within and outside their practice settings (Georgiopoulos et al., 2018). Moreover, performance measurement and quality improvement indicators, a task of nurses, allow for the determination of whether or not the interventions provided to patients are effective. Leveraging the tasks nurses perform, effective blood pressure control is achieved, with a reduction in complications and mortality rates.

Evidence from Peer-Reviewed Literature Barriers to the Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice in addressing the Problem

 

As the adult population with hypertension grows, it becomes more difficult for healthcare professionals to assist their patients with blood pressure control. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), there are five barriers to implementing evidence-based practice in hypertensive patients’ care. First, inaccurate and inconsistent blood pressure measurement techniques may impede hypertension diagnosis and management (AMA, 2018). It is recommended that at least two blood pressure measurements be taken, with the cuff bladder encircling at least 80% of the arm (CDC, 2022), failure of which may result in incorrect readings and the inability to diagnose hypertension.

Why is the Problem Relevant to My Practice as a Baccalaureate-Prepared Nurse

 

Nurses are frequently the first point of contact for patients. As a Baccalaureate-prepared nurse, I am trained to provide quality patient care, including initial review at the emergency unit, blood pressure measurements, diagnosis, treatment advice, or referral to a physician or other specialists. The interventions we provide to this group of patients must be aimed at lowering blood pressure and preventing the progression to unfavorable sequelae.

According to Rahimi et al. (2021), every 10 mm Hg reduction in systolic BP significantly reduces the risk of major CVD events by 20% (relative risk 0.80, 95% CI 0.77–0.83), IHD by 17% (relative risk 0.83, 0.78–0.88), stroke by 27% (relative risk 0.73, 0.68–0.77), heart failure by 28% (relative risk 0.72, 0.67–0.78) and all-cause mortality by 13% (0.87, 0.84–0.91). This indicates that even nurses’ efforts to assist hypertensive patients in managing their blood pressure count, and thus, the relevance of my practice to the population group chosen.

The Assignment

Record yourself presenting the complex case for your clinical patient.

Do not sit and read your written evaluation! The video portion of the assignment is a simulation to demonstrate your ability to succinctly and effectively present a complex case to a colleague for a case consultation.

The written portion of this assignment is a simulation for you to demonstrate to the faculty your ability to document the complex case as you would in an electronic medical record. The written portion of the assignment will be used as a guide for faculty to review your video to determine if you are omitting pertinent information or including non-essential information during your case staffing consultation video.

In your presentation:

  • Dress professionally and present yourself in a professional manner.
  • Display your photo ID at the start of the video when you introduce yourself.
  • Ensure that you do not include any information that violates the principles of HIPAA (i.e., don’t use the patient’s name or any other identifying information).
  • Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
  • Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
  • Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes. Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
    • Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
    • Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
    • Assessment: Discuss patient mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses and why you chose them. List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis, and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and supported by the patient’s symptoms.
    • Plan: In your video, describe your treatment plan using clinical practice guidelines supported by evidence-based practice. Include a discussion on your chosen FDA-approved psychopharmacologic agents and include alternative treatments available and supported by valid research. All treatment choices must have a discussion of your rationale for the choice supported by valid research. What were your follow-up plan and parameters? What referrals would you make or recommend as a result of this treatment session?
    • In your written plan include all the above as well as include one social determinant of health according to the HealthyPeople 2030 (you will need to research) as applied to this case in the realm of psychiatry and mental health. As a future advanced provider, what are one health promotion activity and one patient education consideration for this patient for improving health disparities and inequities in the realm of psychiatry and mental health? Demonstrate your critical thinking.
    • Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the session over? If you are able to follow up with your patient, explain whether these interventions were successful and why or why not. If you were not able to conduct a follow up, discuss what your next intervention would be.

By Day 7 of Week 7

Submit your Video and Focused SOAP Note Assignment. You must submit two files for the note, including a Word document and scanned PDF/images of each page that is initialed and signed by your Preceptor.

Literature Review

One of the major challenges that come with surgery, especially surgeries with long recovery periods like Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is immobilization. Long periods of immobilization have been associated with several adverse effects that affect the patient’s general well-being in the short and long run. Some issues related to immobilization include intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), which in turn results in longer hospitalization period and cost of care, increased risk of getting pressure ulcers, and long-term mobilization issues, for example, reduced functional range of motion, and depressed recovery of functional walking capacity, to list a few (Borges et al., 2022).

Examine the legal and ethical issues related to physician-assisted suicide

Examine the legal and ethical issues related to physician-assisted suicide

Physician-assisted suicide, also known as assisted dying or aid-in-dying, refers to the practice of a physician providing a patient with the means to end their own life, typically through the prescription of a lethal dose of medication (Pozgar, 2020). This practice is legal in a number of countries and states around the world, but it remains a controversial and highly debated topic.

There are a number of legal and ethical issues related to physician-assisted suicide. In many jurisdictions, physician-assisted suicide is illegal, and physicians who participate in assisted dying may face criminal charges (Pozgar, 2020). In jurisdictions where assisted dying is legal, there are often strict legal requirements and procedures that must be followed in order to ensure that the patient’s decision is voluntary and informed.

There are also ethical complications with the process and can affect the general perception of the healthcare sector (Pozgar, 2020). Many people believe that assisted dying is a violation of the medical profession’s ethical obligation to preserve life and that it undermines the trust and respect that should exist between doctors and patients.

Others argue that assisted dying is a compassionate and humane way to provide relief to patients who are suffering from terminal or incurable conditions and that it is a fundamental right for individuals to be able to make decisions about their own end-of-life care (Pozgar, 2020). Additionally, there are ethical and legal concerns that physician-assisted suicide may disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, such as those who are low-income, elderly, or disabled, and that it may be used as a substitute for proper palliative care.

Discuss why there is controversy over genetic markers and stem cell research

 

The main controversy involves the use of genetic markers to identify and classify individuals based on their genetic characteristics (Zhou et al., 2019). These classifications denote that the use of genetic markers can lead to discrimination and stigma, particularly when used in conjunction with other forms of personal information.

Others argue that the use of genetic markers can be beneficial in certain situations, such as in the development of personalized medical treatments or the identification of potential genetic risk factors for certain conditions. Another area of controversy involves the use of stem cells in research and medical treatments (Zhou et al., 2019).

Stem cells are cells that can develop into a wide variety of cell types, and they have the potential to be used to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissues. However, the use of stem cells in research and medicine has been the subject of significant ethical debate, particularly when it involves the use of embryonic stem cells, which are derived from human embryos.

The Community Health Nurse’s Role in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Prevention (Through Tasks Such as Case Finding and Contact Tracing, Reporting, Data Collection, Analysis, and Follow-up)

 

Managing TB requires participation of various parties including patients and health workers. As part of the healthcare professionals, community health nurses play crucial role, meeting various aspects of patients’ needs. At the primary level, these nurses sensitize the public about TB including the lifestyle choices and the behaviors that may cause TB. When educating the public and the most vulnerable groups, they may emphasize modification of the lifestyle, and smoking cessation. The nurse also engages policy makers, recommending the need to adopt regulations that expand access to health care services. Through these efforts, the nurse can help minimize cases of TB infections.

When it comes to the secondary prevention still, the community nurse’s role becomes crucial. In this case, they find cases by identifying individuals with compromised immune systems. They also perform assessments and diagnostic tests, determining positive TB cases. In addition, they trace people who have been in contact with the TB patients, monitoring them to ascertain their TB status. In case they suspect or diagnose TB cases, they notify the officials so that necessary measures can be taken.

Concerning the TB, the tertiary prevention is necessary in the sense that it minimizes the impact of the TB, with the community health nurse playing a fundamental role during this phase of prevention. For example, the nurse manages the disease, providing treatment to TB patients. The nurse may remind them to take their medications by following the prescription information. This may happen when following up with the patients, assessing their progress after discharge. Furthermore, the nurse works with other professionals including counselors, assisting the patient to learn how stop habits that may interfere with the recovery (Madebo, Balta, & Daka, 2023).

National Patient Safety Resource or Initiative that Addresses the Communicable Disease including How it Contributes to Resolving or Reducing the Impact of the Disease at the Point of Care

National Patient Safety Resource or Initiative that Addresses the Communicable Disease including How it Contributes to Resolving or Reducing the Impact of the Disease at the Point of Care

In the U.S., community-based players across different states united to counter the effect of the TB and to address the disease by forming the TB Elimination Alliance (TEA). Through this alliance, these players sought to setup efforts focused on sensitizing communities about TB, and advocating for the TB patients. They also sought to mobilize resources by securing finds that would go towards preventing, treating and diagnosing TB (TB Elimination Alliance, 2021). They also sought to influence policy initiatives focused on mitigating the impact of the TB. This initiative contributes to resolving TB problem by ensuring that communities are informed about the disease, and that policy developers develop policies that reflect the public health needs.     

The Global Implication of the Disease

According to the WHO statistical data, 10.6 million individuals contracted TB in 2022, with TB coming in the second position after Covid-19 in terms of the diseases that caused the highest incidences of mortality during the same year (WHO, 2023). Given that the disease requires hospitalization of patients especially if it is in active phase, it contributes to money lost due to lack of productivity.

How the Disease Is Addressed in other Countries or Cultures

The way other countries address the disease is similar to the approaches the U.S. adopts to address it. In a country like China, for instance, the focus is on research and innovation, with emphasis on developing potent medications that can kill the TB bacterium faster. In Canada, the focus is on creating policies that make preventive services available to those at risk of TB (Alsayed & Gunosewoyo (2023).

Changes in Conditions that Might Indicate Public Health Emergency Related to the Chosen Disease

The change in weather conditions may require adopting new measures to counter the spread of the TB pathogen. This is particularly necessary during the cold weather.

Conclusion

The exposure of the individual to the TB including their risk of contracting the disease depends on a wide range of factors including the environmental factors to which they are exposed. One’s risk also depends on their lifestyle habits, and their overall health status.

Access, Cost, and Quality for APNs

Nursing professionals play critical role when it comes to the delivery of care, and for patients to receive optimal benefits from the nursing care, nurses have to be competent. This is because the nurse’s competency determines the quality of the clinical services they provide, and it can influence the costs of the medical care. Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) contribute to the advancement of the health care objectives pertaining to access, cost and quality of care. The healthcare priorities, and patients’ needs are changing, and the APRNs have to find new ways of addressing health concerns.

Nursing Informatics

Nurses have used nursing informatics to improve their practice in various ways. Cummings, Shin, Mather and Hovenga (2016) argue that nursing informatics has made it easy for nurses to collect data from patients who are in remote areas away from health institutions. This type of data collection has been made possible through telemedicine. Data storage has also been improved through one of the informatics techniques known as electronic health records (Holmes, 2018). Overall, nursing informatics has proven significant in nursing practice. That said, this assignment discusses different professional development exercises in nursing related to informatics.

In the Chapter 7 summary, Staggers and Nelson state, “In a way all of us are already informatics nurses.” Reflect on this summary statement and describe a scenario from your clinical experience where you manipulated data, information, and knowledge to make a wise decision. Focus specifically on the key concepts of data, information, knowledge and wisdom

The majority of nurses have, at one point or another, manipulated knowledge, data, or information in a move to make informed and wise decisions. According to Field, Fong, & Shade (2018), data manipulation is the process of transforming data to make it more organized and easier to read and interpret. The authors mention that information that always needs manipulation is a huge junk of data that cannot be understood in its current form.

When in my care practicum, I came across a scenario that needed me to manipulate data for proper decision making in the facility. At that time, the professional nurse informatics in charge of analyzing big data was on vacation. The charge nurse gave me the responsibility to analyze and manipulate the patients’ data to help discharging, billing, and treatment processes easy and efficient. In other words, I was supposed to make billing, treating, and discharge processes run smoothly without hitches. As a result, I manipulated data in two ways. First, I arranged patients’ information in alphabetical order to help me track their progress and identify the ones that have not received their daily medication.

When going through admission reports, it found that the nurse in charge of admission did not arrange the information in a systematic order. Thus, I rearranged the data in alphabetical order based on the patients’ names. This arrangement helped me know the number of patients who had been admitted that day and the conditions that they were admitted for. The second manipulation method was an arrangement of data-based discharge dates. The rearranged the initial information and indicated the patients who were being discharged soon.

This information helped the billing department to develop bills for the patients being discharged to ensure they the individuals to wait for long before being released from the facility. Also, the discharge information helped the patient know the amount of money they own the facility and how they can cover the bills. I did this work for two days and never failed. From this experience, I realized that all nurses have, at one point, became informatics, as stated by Staggers and Nelson.

Data storage has also been improved through one of the informatics techniques known as electronic health records (Holmes, 2018). Overall, nursing informatics has proven significant in nursing practice. That said, this assignment discusses different professional development exercises in nursing related to informatics.

In the Chapter 7 summary, Staggers and Nelson state, “In a way all of us are already informatics nurses.” Reflect on this summary statement and describe a scenario from your clinical experience where you manipulated data, information, and knowledge to make a wise decision. Focus specifically on the key concepts of data, information, knowledge and wisdom

The majority of nurses have, at one point or another, manipulated knowledge, data, or information in a move to make informed and wise decisions. According to Field, Fong, & Shade (2018), data manipulation is the process of transforming data to make it more organized and easier to read and interpret. The authors mention that information that always needs manipulation is a huge junk of data that cannot be understood in its current form.

When in my care practicum, I came across a scenario that needed me to manipulate data for proper decision making in the facility. At that time, the professional nurse informatics in charge of analyzing big data was on vacation. The charge nurse gave me the responsibility to analyze and manipulate the patients’ data to help discharging, billing, and treatment processes easy and efficient. In other words, I was supposed to make billing, treating, and discharge processes run smoothly without hitches. As a result, I manipulated data in two ways. First, I arranged patients’ information in alphabetical order to help me track their progress and identify the ones that have not received their daily medication.

When going through admission reports, it found that the nurse in charge of admission did not arrange the information in a systematic order. Thus, I rearranged the data in alphabetical order based on the patients’ names. This arrangement helped me know the number of patients who had been admitted that day and the conditions that they were admitted for. The second manipulation method was an arrangement of data-based discharge dates. The rearranged the initial information and indicated the patients who were being discharged soon.

This information helped the billing department to develop bills for the patients being discharged to ensure they the individuals to wait for long before being released from the facility. Also, the discharge information helped the patient know the amount of money they own the facility and how they can cover the bills. I did this work for two days and never failed. From this experience, I realized that all nurses have, at one point, became informatics, as stated by Staggers and Nelson.

  • AACN Competencies and the Walden Mission, Vision and Outcomes

    The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is responsible of advancing nursing education through various programs and initiatives including the development of the standards that inform the process of preparation of nurses. These standards communicate the expectations for the nursing professionals because they mandate nurses to be compassionate in terms of how they care for patients, and to work collaboratively with a team of Interprofessional to deliver optimal care (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, n.d.).

    Additionally, the standards require nurses to provide safe and quality care by employing evidence, and using it to inform clinical decisions. Walden University is committed to preparing nurses to develop the necessary competencies to help them meet the AACN’s standards. The university’s DNP program meets the AACN’s competencies. However, it is important for the DNP students at Walden University to reflect on how their professional goals match the institution’s vision, mission and message of social change.

    Alignment between My Professional Goals and Walden’s Vision, Mission and Social Change Message, Social Determinants of Health, and University Outcomes, and the AACN DNP Essentials

    Nursing education provides nurses with numerous opportunities for career improvement. I choose to pursue a DNP program at Walden University to meet professional objectives including increasing my prospects of becoming a nurse educator. As an educator, I hope to teach nurses, and contribute to the advancement of the nursing education by developing training curricular that can help nurture nurses’ skills (Walden University, 2023). Additionally, I am pursuing the DNP program to contribute to the advancement of the nursing knowledge, which essentially, provides the foundation for the clinical practice.

    Alignment with Vision

    My professional goals resonate with Walden’s vision which emphasizes judging the quality of knowledge in terms of how students can apply it. I see pursuing the DNP program as a chance of acquiring knowledge which I hope to use in nurturing nurses in learning settings, and contributing to the development of the nursing research. I understand that at the end of the DNP program, my competency will depend on how well I am able to apply the knowledge I acquire in improving the nursing knowledge (Walden University, 2023).

    Alignment with Mission

    As captured in Walden’s mission statement, the institution is committed to creating conditions that support the growth of students, allowing them to make meaningful social change. This mission aligns with my goal of expanding my nursing knowledge, which I see driving social change by positioning me for more advanced roles in areas such as leadership. Working in leadership role will present me with the privilege and the voice of championing for patients, and contributing to the progression of the policy initiatives meant to improve health equity.

    Alignment with Social Change Message

    Walden’s commitment to the advancement of the social change agenda reflects in its social change message which reinforces the development and application of health-promoting ideas towards promoting the wellbeing and development of diverse populations’ wellbeing and dignity. I consider learning with the intent of training and developing the nurse’s knowledge, as a means of making change because through sharing with students what I learn during the DNP program, they will acquire skills and knowledge that are essential for driving social change (Read, Pino Betancourt, & Morrison, 2016).

    Alignment with Social Determinants of Health

    Walden University seeks to prepare nursing professionals to be competent in addressing the gap in access to care because of various social factors including illiteracy, poverty and work conditions. From a professional standpoint, pursuing the DNP program will help improve my understanding of how SDOH come into play in causing the divide in access to health services (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021). By understanding this relationship, I will be in a position to come up with meaningful solutions, and incorporate the same into health programs.

    My professional objectives equally resonate with the DNP essentials and Walden’s professional outcomes. I want to develop analytical skills, and learn about how to optimize quality by leveraging effective leadership approaches. I hope that engaging in

What role does using the right evidence play in being a professional nurse? What role does understanding plagiarism and academic integrity play in being a professional nurse?

 

Verified Expert Answer and Explanation

Class Discussion

When taking care of patients, it is important to make use of the appropriate resources mainly because they are the main determinants of the delivery of quality care and positive patient output (EIU, 2018). Resources can span from equipment, information evidence to support the delivery of care, or to prove the equality of provision of the said care. Resources also offer informative guidelines or steps that can be used during care provision.

    Question 


    Assessing Patients for Mental Health Needs

    Assessing Patients for Mental Health Needs

    Primary care NPs are essential in identifying, assessing, and managing mental health concerns in patients across the life span. The need for NPs in this role is emphasized by limited mental health support & resources. NPs utilize brief mental health screening tools to assess needs and to promote communication with patients. The screening tools help to identify higher risk clients who need additional psychiatric evaluation.

    What barriers have you faced in the clinical setting when assessing patients for mental health needs? Are providers at the clinic offered education to treat patients with mental health needs? Are patients completing the assessment tools independently? Does your community provide resources for vulnerable populations (elderly, homeless, veterans, children) who need additional support?

Leadership Style and Self-Assessment

Effective leadership is paramount in nursing, where the well-being of both the healthcare team and patients hinges on collaborative, thoughtful, and visionary guidance. Various leadership theories and styles have emerged, each offering unique perspectives on how leaders can inspire, guide, and shape their teams (Kelly & Hearld, 2020). Self-assessment is integral in understanding oneself and proper leadership tendencies.

Self-Assessment Rationale and Summary

In order to understand and have a clear overview of myself, I focused on three tests on emotional intelligence, the big five personality test, and the cultural diversity awareness test. I chose the Emotional Intelligence Test to gain insights into my ability to navigate and understand emotions, an essential aspect of my interpersonal relationships. Scoring 45 out of 100 aligns with my self-perception.

I’ve always been aware of my strength in identifying emotions through bodily reactions, but the acknowledgment of struggling with more complex emotions resonates with my belief in continuous self-improvement. It’s a true reflection of my commitment to understanding and managing emotions more comprehensively, enhancing my overall emotional intelligence.

The choice of the Big Five Personality Test stems from the relevance of personality traits in understanding individual behavior and interactions. Scoring 69 out of 100 highlights a dominant trait of extroversion, suggesting a generally outgoing and social nature. However, the acknowledgment of various introverted tendencies adds nuance to the assessment. This indicates a balanced personality with a fluidity between extroverted and introverted qualities. The results emphasize the complexity and versatility in personal characteristics, encouraging a holistic approach to self-awareness and interpersonal dynamics.

Selecting the Cultural Diversity Awareness Test was driven by my commitment to fostering inclusive and respectful interactions. Scoring 109 in the high range is affirming. It aligns with my core values of recognizing bias and prejudice and emphasizes my belief in the importance of understanding and appreciating diverse perspectives. This score is a true representation of my commitment to continuous learning, acknowledging the impact of my behavior on others, and actively seeking ways to enhance my cultural competence.

These assessments collectively provide a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s emotional intelligence, personality traits, and cultural awareness (Andrade, 2019). The results indicate specific strengths and areas for growth, paving the way for targeted personal development efforts. Embracing the distinctions revealed in these assessments fosters a holistic approach to self-awareness and the enhancement of interpersonal skills in various contexts.

Leadership Style

The leadership style that closely aligns with my philosophy of care is Servant Leadership. This resonates profoundly with my humanistic approach to care, which places a strong emphasis on the well-being and development of individuals. What particularly appeals to me about servant leadership is its commitment to distributing power rather than consolidating it at the top (Pawar et al., 2020).

This aligns perfectly with my belief that leadership should be about empowering others, fostering collaboration, and creating an inclusive environment. The core concept of prioritizing the well-being of others aligns with my philosophy of care, emphasizing the importance of empathy and genuine concern for the needs of those under my leadership (Mcquade et al., 2021). In a healthcare setting, this is crucial for creating a compassionate and supportive environment that ultimately contributes to better patient outcomes.

The active support provided by servant leadership in helping individuals reach their highest potential resonates deeply with my belief in the continuous growth and development of both team members and patients (Langhof & Güldenberg, 2020). It encourages a culture of mentorship, guidance, and investment in the personal and professional growth of each individual, fostering a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

In essence, the relevance of servant leadership is based on its holistic and people-centric approach (Saleem et al., 2020). By focusing on the needs of others and actively supporting their development, it aligns seamlessly with my philosophy of care. The leadership style achieves organizational goals and also enriches the lives of those within the healthcare system.

Achieving Higher Levels of Education

The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report elaborates on the need for nurses to advance in their education, with one of the reasons being to create a larger impact on nursing practice and the healthcare system. There are several reasons why nurses should find encouragement to continue their education.

Assignment: Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs What type of drug should you prescribe based on your patient’s diagnosis? How much of the drug should the patient receive? How often should the drug be administered? When should the drug not be prescribed? Are there individual patient factors that could create complications when taking the drug? Should you be prescribing drugs to this patient? How might different state regulations affect the prescribing of this drug to this patient? These are some of the questions you might consider when selecting a treatment plan for a patient. As an advanced practice nurse prescribing drugs, you are held accountable for people’s lives every day. Patients and their families will often place trust in you because of your position. With this trust comes power and responsibility, as well as an ethical and legal obligation to “do no harm.” It is important that you are aware of current professional, legal, and ethical standards for advanced

Legal and Ethical Implication in Prescription

Legal and ethical implications manifest in the scenario in which an Advanced Practicing Nurse (APN) has to decide between observing codes of ethics on prescription, and prescribing medicion to their friend who has no known health history. Nursing professionals are expected to practice within the boundaries of the codes of the American Nurses Association (ANA). One of these codes’ provisions require APNs to promote and protect patients’ health as well as safety. Reflecting on this provision, prescribing the medication to the patient without getting details of their health condition constitutes a breach of this provision.

Cellular morphology refers to the shape, size, structure, and texture of the cell (Nassiri & McCall, 2018). These characteristics help differentiate cells and play an important role in their function because the different variations in structures and forms allow the cells to perform different, but specific functions respectively; however, changes in cell morphology can occur and cause changes or deviations in their cellular function (Nassiri & McCall, 2018). According to Alizadeh et al., (2020), the morphology of cells, or morphometrics, can help distinguish between cells in different states, while their response to perturbations to specific proteins, can cause cell alterations which can help identify cancer cells that may have developed metastatic characteristics, for example (Alizadeh et al., 2020).

the Health Belief Model and its Applicability in Healthcare Settings

New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of a positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.

Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists, and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.

In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
Identify and select 4 peer-reviewed research articles from your research.

Nurse Leader and Manager Decisions in Healthcare Decisions

 

As a nurse leader and manager, I understand the importance of effective decision-making in the healthcare setting. I will use the DECIDE model, a structured decision-making approach, to guide my decision-making process. This model stands for “Define the problem, Enumerate the options, Consider the pros and cons, Identify your values, Decide on the best course of action, and Evaluate the outcomes” (Guo, 2020). Below is an illustration of how I would apply the DECIDE model with an example from a clinical situation I experienced.

Explain the collaborative solution, including the people involved and the improvement in patient outcomes. Describe how diversity, equity, and inclusion were incorporated into the collaborative solution.

How Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Were Incorporated into the Collaborative Solution

The collaborative solution to address communication obstacles in the healthcare delivery setting was founded on the basic concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion. To begin, diversity was celebrated by creating a team of professionals from a variety of ethnic backgrounds who could understand and empathize with the diverse patient group. This varied workforce was critical in ensuring that patients were respected for their cultural viewpoints, resulting in a more inclusive healthcare environment. Furthermore, interpreters fluent in other languages were easily available, ensuring that language diversity did not impede access to care.

Leader and Managers Roles in Evidence-Based Practice

Promoting and sustaining evidence-based practice (EBP) is essential for high-quality patient care. It also continually advances the nursing practice. To actively engage in EBP, I will take various steps in my role. Firstly, I will regularly review and stay up-to-date with research and clinical guidelines relevant to my area of practice. This involves subscribing to approved journals, attending conferences, and participating in continuing medical education. Knowledge of current evidence helps one make informed decisions about patient care (Johnson et al., 2021).

Participation in the Virtual Dementia Lab How Participation in the Virtual Dementia Lab will Impact Care of Patients with Cognitive Impairment

Participation in the Virtual Dementia Lab

How Participation in the Virtual Dementia Lab will Impact Care of Patients with Cognitive Impairment

Participating in the Virtual Dementia Lab will have a substantial and long-term impact on my management of individuals with cognitive impairment. This intensive experience will improve my ability to empathize with and comprehend the daily hardships of people with Dementia. As a result, I will approach each patient contact with heightened compassion and understanding, noting the sensory issues they may be experiencing. This newfound insight will motivate me to adjust and tailor my care tactics to meet their individual needs, delivering a more dignified and comfortable experience. Furthermore, the Virtual Dementia Lab will provide me with practical knowledge and solutions that I will actively incorporate into my caring approach. I will proactively modify the care environment to reduce sensory overstimulation, making it more conducive to the comfort of dementia patients.

I will use effective communication approaches that take into account their changed auditory perception and cognitive limitations, resulting in clearer and more meaningful encounters. Managing concerns such as olfactory hallucinations, changes in taste, and touch sensitivities will improve the overall quality of life (Mahmut Said Değerli & Onur Altuntaş, 2023). Finally, this experience will allow me to deliver more comprehensive and person-centered treatment to individuals with cognitive impairment. I will make every effort to address their bodily needs and recognize and nurture their emotional well-being. I am convinced that by adopting the Virtual Dementia Lab’s lessons, I will contribute to increasing the overall quality of life and comfort of my patients as they navigate the obstacles of Dementia.

Self-Reflection on How My Daily Life Would Change if I Had Dementia

My daily life would undergo substantial and difficult adjustments if I were suddenly diagnosed with Dementia. One of the most immediate effects would be on my everyday activities. Simple duties like dressing, cooking, and maintaining personal hygiene would become progressively impossible to manage independently (Amato et al., 2021). I may struggle to remember the sequence of steps in these activities, resulting in frustration and possibly ignoring important self-care. Basic daily chores would take more time and effort, potentially forcing me to rely largely on caretakers or family members for assistance. Getting about my house would also become a difficult and potentially dangerous task. Dementia frequently impairs spatial awareness as well as the ability to recognize familiar settings (Fernanda, 2023). As a result, I may become disoriented within my own home, regularly becoming lost or confused about my location. Safety steps such as installing locks on doors to prevent roaming or removing potential risks such as sharp objects or toxic substances would be required to reduce the likelihood of accidents.

Another noticeable difference would be in my speech and social relationships. Memory loss and trouble processing information would make conversing and maintaining relationships difficult. I might forget the names and faces of loved ones, struggle to follow the flow of a conversation or repeat the same stories or questions. This would very certainly result in emotions of isolation and frustration as I became more aware of my cognitive impairment. Furthermore, my financial management would suffer as handling money and making informed financial decisions became increasingly difficult, potentially jeopardizing my financial security. I’d also require continuous reminders and help to remember essential appointments, meds, and daily duties, which would undermine my sense of freedom and autonomy. Finally, I would experience the emotional toll of recognizing the slow loss of my cognitive abilities, which would result in feelings of frustration, anxiety, and loss as I grappled with the changes in my everyday life.

Impact on Clinical Care, Patient/Provider Interactions, and Workflow

Health Informatics Policy – HIPAA Fact Sheet

Policy Overview

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a significant policy in the healthcare industry, enacted in 1996, with the primary goal of protecting patients’ sensitive health information. HIPAA establishes standards for the privacy and security of electronic health information and mandates the use of electronic health records (EHRs) to maintain patient data’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). It also sets regulations for how healthcare organizations and their business associates handle and share protected health information (PHI).

How does the United States compare in health rankings with other developed nations? How does the United States compare in health rankings with developing nations? In your research, what were the two major differences between the healthcare system in a developing nation and the U.S. healthcare system?

Global Perspective on Health Care

Measurements Used By the WHO to Determine Health Rankings

The WHO employs the health index score to determine health rankings. Some of them include health outcome indicators like life expectancy, infant and adult mortality rates, and disability-adjusted life years, otherwise known as DALYs, which give a broader picture of population health and the effectiveness of health care (Cueto, 2023).

The WHO evaluates a country’s healthcare infrastructure and services. This assessment is carried out in a variety of aspects, including the standard of healthcare services, the ease of access to the population, and the availability of vital assets in health care (Cueto, 2023). It informs people about the effectiveness of healthcare delivery in a country.

Mortality rates assessment examines healthcare systems’ effectiveness in preventing deaths, encompassing indicators like maternal and child mortality rates and mortality from non-communicable diseases (Cueto, 2023). These metrics guide healthcare policy enhancements and contribute to better population health outcomes.

Comparison of the United States in Health Rankings with Other Developed Nations

The American healthcare system frequently performs lower than that of other developed nations and results in lower health outcomes (Schneider et al., 2021). This is because it has infant mortality, shortened life expectancy, and disparities in healthcare access that cost the country more money per person on healthcare.

Comparison of the United States in Health Rankings with Other Developing Nations

Usually, as opposed to underdeveloped countries, the United States has a more established health system and availability of medical equipment for their populations (Schneider et al., 2021). Developing countries usually struggle with deficient healthcare infrastructure, lack of quality care provision, and increased occurrence of infectious diseases.

Differences between the Healthcare System in a Developing Nation and the U.S.

One major difference is infrastructure. Unlike many developing countries, America has a well-developed infrastructure with no shortages of healthcare services (Schneider et al., 2021). The United States has highly advanced healthcare facilities, state-of-the-art technologies, and experts. Another difference lies in healthcare costs. The United States is an expensive place for health care. Nevertheless, most of the developing countries can afford cheap health care. However, Shi & Singh (2022) note that the capability to provide quality care is hampered due to limited resources.

Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role.

What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? Empathetic, organized, hard-working, or advocate would all certainly apply. Would you add a policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud?

Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation.

To Prepare:

  • Revisit the Congress.gov website provided in the Resources and consider the role of RNs and APRNs in policy-making.
  • Reflect on potential opportunities that may exist for RNs and APRNs to participate in the policy-making process.

Post an explanation of at least two opportunities that exist for RNs and APRNs to actively participate in policy-making. Explain some of the challenges that these opportunities may present and describe how you might overcome these challenges. Finally, recommend two strategies you might make to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities to participate in policy-making. Be specific and provide examples.

An understanding of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critically important component of disease and disorder diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the impact that these two systems can have on each other. A variety of factors and circumstances affecting the emergence and severity of issues in one system can also have a role in the performance of the other. Effective analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their mutual impact. For example, patient characteristics such as racial and ethnic variables can play a role. An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans. In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented.

    Introduction

  • Apraxia of speech, also called verbal apraxia, is a speech sound disorder. It has been recognized as a neurologic disorder affecting the brain pathways involved in planning movement sequences for speech production.
  • It is common in children but may also occur in other age groups.
  • A predominant finding in this disorder is the inability of a child to produce syllables and sounds precisely.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Belgine Limited, a Human Resources (HR) company, intends to move its HR applications and HR data into a community cloud. Having never used community cloud services before, Belgine Limited hired Stark Web Services, which is a cloud service provider, to provide them with a specific plan for migrating to and providing them with Software as a Service (SaaS) on the cloud. This report focuses on securing the data and applications of Belgine Limited in a cloud environment. An assumption made is that while Stark Web Services will provide security measures for Belgine Limited, the HR company will also implement some security measures on its end to increase the security of the data and applications.

Case Study and Discussion – Migraine and Headaches

A 20-year-old female presents with severe migraines. She has been treated for the last two years.

Pathophysiology of the Migraine Prodrome

Migraines are complex neurological disorders characterized by recurrent, severe headaches often accompanied by prodromal symptoms. The pathophysiology of the prodrome phase involves several mechanisms. During this phase, the brain has abnormal neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter imbalances. Cortical spreading depression (CSD), a wave of neuronal depolarization followed by suppression, is thought to play a pivotal role. CSD can lead to vasoconstriction and subsequent vasodilation, affecting cerebral blood flow (Lagman-Bartolome & Lay, 2019). These vascular changes and the release of neuropeptides, such as substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide, contribute to pain and other prodromal symptoms, including mood changes and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Cybersecurity System Security Report for Successful Acquisition

Executive Summary

The merging and acquisition (M&A) process presents security issues for the organizations involved in the M&A. These security issues can result in a cyber-attack occurring during and after the M&A activities. To address these security issues, a policy gap analysis is required. The policy gap analysis notes the differences that exist in the policies of both organizations and defines new policies that address the operation activities of the merged organization. Since one of the organizations involved in the M&A is a media streaming company that accepts payments from customers using credit cards, the definition of PCI DSS requirements is necessary. The definition of the PCI DSS requirements ensures that the organization adheres to the defined measures involved in the protection of user information and credit card transactions. Security issues might also occur in the organization following the acquisition of the media streaming company due to the protocols used for streaming services in the company. Therefore, a review of these protocols is necessary to consider the various vulnerabilities in the protocols.

Project 4 instructions Cybersecurity professionals are frequently required to assess the security, risk applications, and systems for business communications before they can be added to an organization’s network. CISOs need to assess risks posed to the organization and develop new security measures or adjust current measures to address these risks appropriately. These evaluations involve comparing competing applications or systems against the organization’s baseline to determine the best balance between business needs and the security and risk appetite of the organization. Video Conferencing Video Conferencing Video conferencing and collaboration systems vary in cost, configuration, functionality, use, and collaboration capability. These systems are trusted to facilitate sensitive and proprietary discussions through their use of encrypted communication channels.

Incorporating complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) into L.N’s treatment strategy could be considered alongside conventional medical care. Given her symptoms, exploring modalities such as guided breathing exercises, yoga, or relaxation techniques may help (Kupershmidt & Barnable, 2019). It will alleviate her reported chest tightness and also improve overall respiratory well-being. Additionally, acupuncture has been shown to have potential benefits for respiratory conditions (Fernandez-Jane et al., 2020). This should be explored with a qualified practitioner.

Federal and State Policy Comparison A need for better coordination

 

Even though the federal government makes consistent significant steps towards improving cybersecurity goals through proper funding, the considerable challenges entail a decentralized approach for numerous security agencies where each entity is accountable for its cybersecurity operations. The common characteristic of this approach by the federal government is the absence ‘one-stop shop’ of all information, yet they serve the same goal, improving local and national cybersecurity (Moore, 2019). There is a lot of government data but is scattered across several agencies. This makes it difficult for people outside the information community circle to access such data and depicts an urgent need for better coordination among various information-sharing agencies.

Risk Assessment Report

Risk assessment is the process conducted by an organization to identify and analyze the risks that are likely to occur in the organization. The identification and analysis of risks help organizations to implement measures that can help mitigate the risks. There are different steps involved in the risk assessment process. The initial step involves the identification of possible threats likely to affect the organization. The next stage includes noting the possible targets of the identified risks. Possible targets can include network users or even network resources. The organization then proceeds to rate the different identified risks according to their possibility of occurring and their impact in case they occur. Different mitigation measures are then developed and implemented, beginning with the highly prioritized risks. The different fields that makeup risk assessment in an organization include risk analysis, risk mitigation, and risk management (Anikin, 2015).

Discussion – Gestational Diabetes

 

Pregnant women who did not previously have diabetes are susceptible to gestational diabetes (GDM), a form of the disease that develops during pregnancy. It occurs when the body does not make enough insulin is to cater for the increasing needs during pregnancy (McIntyre et al., 2019). This results in elevated blood sugar levels, which can have significant implications for the mother and the developing fetus. Hire our assignment writing services in case your assignment is devastating you. We offer assignment help with high professionalism.

Impacts

Impact on the Mother

Gestational diabetes poses several risks and complications for expectant mothers. One of the most concerning aspects is the increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Women who experience GDM have a significantly higher risk of this chronic condition. During pregnancy, GDM can also lead to complications such as high blood pressure and preeclampsia, a potentially life-threatening condition that poses risks to both the mother and the baby (McIntyre et al., 2019).

Impact on the Baby

The fetus is not immune to the effects of gestational diabetes. Babies born to mothers with uncontrolled GDM may experience excessive growth, a condition known as macrosomia. Macrosomia can lead to complications during childbirth, increasing the risk of birth injuries for both the baby and the mother (Lende & Rijhsinghani, 2020). Moreover, these infants may have low blood sugar levels at birth, a condition called neonatal hypoglycemia, which requires immediate medical attention to prevent potential complications such as seizures (Sweeting et al., 2022). Respiratory distress syndrome is another risk, affecting the baby’s ability to breathe properly.

Statistics

Each region and demographic has a different prevalence of gestational diabetes; however, it is a global health concern. It affects approximately 6-9% of all pregnancies in the United States, highlighting its significance as a widespread issue. Worldwide, hyperglycemia during pregnancy, which includes GDM, affects about 16% of live births (Sweeting et al., 2022). This statistic underscores the global reach of this condition. Furthermore, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association discovered that type 2 diabetes risk is seven times higher for women with a history of GDM (Lende & Rijhsinghani, 2020). This emphasizes the lasting impact of GDM on a woman’s health.

Risk Factors

A number of factors can increase a woman’s risk of acquiring gestational diabetes. Age plays a role, with women over 25 being at an increased risk. A family history of diabetes is a contributing factor. The risk is considerably increased by being overweight or obese before becoming pregnant. Moreover, a history of GDM in a previous pregnancy increases the risk of subsequent pregnancies (Lende & Rijhsinghani, 2020). Certain ethnic groups, including Hispanic, African American, and Asian women, have a higher risk of GDM.

In summationgestational diabetes can lead to various complications for the mother and the baby. High blood pressure and the risk of preeclampsia are elevated in women with GDM, posing serious health threats. Due to complications during labour and delivery, women with GDM are more likely to require a cesarean section. Consistently, excessive fetal growth, a condition known as macrosomia resulting from GDM, can lead to birth injuries (Sweeting et al., 2022). Moreover, low blood sugar levels in newborns, or neonatal hypoglycemia, can result in seizures or other serious complications. Lastly, Type 2 diabetes in the future is substantially more likely to occur in women who have gestational diabetes, emphasizing the long-term implications of this condition.

Forensic Analysis Research

Timeline analysis is an integral component of digital forensic analysis in both the private and public sectors. Lin (2018) explains that this process is primarily tailored to collect and analyze event data to assess when and what has taken place on a file system for forensic reasons. Its understanding will help track down a recent incident where attackers used RDP to brute force a Domain Administrator account. Essentially, they used a Tor on a Domain Controller to execute a Meterpreter reverse shell and an RPD proxy. In the quest to determine the Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), this paper explores the importance of timeline creation and analysis, its contribution to the analysis of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), and how TTPs help identify bad behavior.

ep 1 Read the scenario. While we would like to think that everyone has equal access to health care, as nurses it is important to consider the reality of how health care is distributed. Identification of distribution patterns contributes to an understanding of barriers to accessing health care that include geographic realities (urban vs. rural) and socio-economic inequities (insured vs. uninsured). Distribution of Healthcare within the Healthcare Delivery System Distribution of Healthcare within the Healthcare Delivery System Step 2 Post a response to the discussion board.

Distribution of Healthcare within the Healthcare Delivery System

The distribution of healthcare within the healthcare delivery system pertains to how healthcare resources and services are allocated and made available to various geographic regions and populations. It encompasses allocating healthcare infrastructure, professionals, medical devices, medications, and health insurance. The allocation of healthcare services is subject to various influences, encompassing economic, geographic, and social factors.

Part 2: VLAN Routing Section1: Proposal The network is too slow, and you have been tasked with creating a solution to fix this issue. A network upgrade will replace older and slower equipment with newer, faster, and redundant equipment, including routers, switches, and cabling. Write a 2–4 page APA formatted proposal on upgrading routers and switches on your network. Include specifics, including model types, cabling, and updated IOS. Also, include how many subnets will be needed and any configuration changes concerning hostnames, interface descriptions, and access control lists. Make sure to adhere to the following in the proposal: Establish and sustain a viewpoint and purpose for the bid. Ensure that the proposal follows the conventions of standard English, including correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The writing should be well-ordered, logical, unified, original, and insightful.

Network Upgrade Proposal

Network speeds are affected by several factors, including congestion due to the inability of old networks to scale correctly on a hub, old cabling with relatively low throughput, and competition for network resources such as printers, which causes collisions that slow down the rest of the network. On-premise servers can also contribute to a slow network if they are old and use outdated CPU architecture. Still, these often are designed to last a long period and manage large workloads, so they will not be considered for this proposal. However, migrating the company’s services to a hybrid cloud is worth migrating to improve network speeds and reliability. Therefore, we are considering upgrading the core network cabling, routers, and switches for this proposal.

Introduction to the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Journey to PMHNP Requirements for the Nurse Practitioner in Alabama


Under the Alabaman statutes, nursing practice is regulated by the Alabama Board of Nursing. In Alabama, the licensure requirements include a national certification acceptable by the board, a graduate degree in a nurse practitioner role, and an RN license. Alabama is one of the states with reduced practice authority. In this state, advanced practitioner nurse (APRN) roles are restricted (Alabama.gov, 2022). While these regulations serve to protect the public, they may limit nurses’ ability to practice in the state. Such restrictions limit opportunities for growth among nurses and may hurt their psyche toward work (Hayes et al., 2023). Per Alabama statutes, NP’s ability to prescribe medications under Schedules III, IV, or V controlled substances is restricted. NPs must first obtain a renewable Qualified Alabama Controlled Substances Certificate (QACSC) and be in a collaborative practice with a physician (Alabama.gov, 2022). In my view, the NP practice authority state is somehow limiting to nurses. It prevents them from displaying their full potential and hinders their progress toward availing quality and effective care to their patients (Hayes et al., 2023). Reviewing such regulations may provide a better guarantee

Pushing 787 In-flight Entertainment System to the Limit (YouTube – 2:27) (Links to an external site.)

In addition to the onboard IFE, passengers also carry with them an array of personal electronics: smartphones, tablets, laptops, gaming devices, etc. So, today’s travelers may well be using electronics almost from gate to gate.

One might ask, with travelers bringing with them so many devices on board (BYOD), what changes are we seeing with IFE systems? To answer that, here is an excerpt on IFE from an airline market business analysis (Cision PR Newswire (Links to an external site.)):

Key airlines across the globe are replacing heavy cablings and screens with onboard Wi-Fi systems for passengers to accommodate the BYOD model, thereby reducing the overall weight of the aircraft.
There has been an increasing trend of passengers bringing their Personal Electronic Devices (PED) on board and willing to pay an additional fee for using Wi-Fi during the flight.
Moreover, there is an upsurge in demand for streaming live TV onboard directly on the passengers’ devices, ultimately creating lucrative growth opportunities for the in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) market.
In an attempt to retain a competitive edge, major airlines worldwide are embracing the replacement of conventional seatback IFE systems with wireless in-flight entertainment systems.
Passenger’s demand for IFE has now transformed from the traditional ‘please entertain me’ into a more contemporary ‘I want to entertain myself’ attitude.
Leading service providers are forming long-term partnerships with the airlines to provide more comprehensive coverage and capacity.
Growing adoption for in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems by low-cost carriers (LCCs) to enhance the passenger experience in short-haul flights
Using wireless in place of wired networks has substantial compensations for the airlines, such as weight savings due to the abolition of cabling, thereby enabling more straightforward installation and reducing fuel and maintenance costs.

In this writing assignment, you will write a one- to two-page paper in which you explain the implementation of an informatics system. Step 1 Reflect on your encounters with healthcare informatics systems you may have used in the clinical setting (either as a practicing nurse or as a student in the clinical setting). Step 2 Address the following questions as you write your paper: Explain implementation strategies (name at least three) that could be used for successful use and adoption of a new informatics system. What barriers might exist during the implementation of a new informatics system? Describe types of staff education strategies (name at least two) that would be helpful. What support should be offered to users after the implementation of a new informatics system?

Implementing Informatics Systems in a Clinical Setting

In my job in healthcare, particularly in an emergency room, I have come across a number of healthcare informatics systems that have had a substantial impact on the delivery of treatment. Several ways can be used to successfully install a new informatics system in a clinical setting, such as an emergency room. One of the most important techniques for successful informatics system installation is to actively involve all stakeholders, including healthcare practitioners, nurses, administrative personnel, and IT specialists, from the beginning of the planning process (Fenton, 2022). Another technique is gradual implementation, which entails introducing the informatics system in phases or modules, allowing personnel to adapt to changes gradually. To protect patient information and preserve trust in the system, adequate security mechanisms, including encryption, user authentication, and access controls, must be in place

In this assignment, you will write a critical appraisal that demonstrates comprehension of two qualitative research studies. For this assignment, use the nursing practice problem and two qualitative peer-reviewed research articles you identified in Topic 1 (or two new articles based on instructor feedback in Topic 1). In a 1,000-1,250-word essay, summarize two qualitative studies. In high-exposure populations such as children and healthcare workers (P), what are the individual, organizational, and environmental factors that influence compliance to and the effectiveness of hand hygiene (I) in infection prevention and control (O)? This is not a PICO question. You need a nursing intervention with a specific population and a measurable outcome. You could ask: Will educating healthcare staff about hand hygiene compared to no education result in decreased HAIs in hospitalized patients in 3 months? Please revise Use the “Research Critique Guidelines – Part I” document to organize your essay

  • Qualitative Research Critique and Ethical Considerations

    Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) significantly threaten patient safety. HAIs are directly linked to longer lengths of stay, higher cost of care, and higher risks of death and mortality rates (Serra-Burriel et al., 2020). Infection prevention and control (IPC) within hospital settings employs various precautions aimed at preventing HAIs. Hand hygiene is the most essential and effective IPC approach to preventing HAIs. Notably, hand hygiene can effectively prevent the spread of infectious conditions such as influenza, enterovirus, pneumonia, and COVID-19 (Chiu et al., 2020). Nurses and other healthcare workers know the effectiveness and need for maintaining hand hygiene (Van Nguyen et al., 2020). However, adherence to handwashing protocols tends to decrease with time, especially if related interventions are ended (Stangerup et al., 2021). Due to the high risk of exposure to HAI-causing bacteria among healthcare workers and the risk of transferring such bacteria to other patients and workers, as well as cross-contamination, employing strategies that promote adherence to such protocols is important in hospitals

Examine the potential impact of the client’s behavior on the client-provider relationship.

  •  

    Strain on the NP: The NP may experience a stressful and hostile work environment because of D.W.’s belligerent behavior. As a result of this experience, the NP can feel burnout, a decline in job satisfaction, and a loss of empathy and compassion for patients.
    Reduced quality of care: D.W. may receive less effective care as a result of his disagreeable temperament and refusal to explore other options. In turn, he would be receiving suboptimal treatment outcomes and an extended period of discomfort due to unmet goals and interventions.
    Trust issues: The NP may find it challenging to build trust with D.W. because of his demanding, combative, and disgruntled conduct. Consequently, the client might not be as forthright or responsive to therapy suggestions going forward.
    Relationship damage between client and provider: D.W. and the NP’s relationship can suffer long-term consequences because of this encounter. This may hinder the NP’s ability to deliver quality care in the future and result in a vicious circle of problematic behaviors and strained relationships with medical professionals as well.
    d.) Analyze techniques to enhance communication with the client and address the client’s behavior.

    Certain patients experience extreme disruption, aggression, or uncontrollable outbursts of anger. As professionals, our duties include making sure the area is safe, and one method of doing so is to notify the security personnel prior to approaching patients who are engaging in violence or in an unruly manner. Remain composed or calm and refrain from becoming combative or defensive as a reaction to their demeanor (Bickley et al., 2021). Furthermore, enhance communication with the client by trying to understand/actively listen to where their frustration lies, establish rapport, validate the client’s feelings, and gently suggest alternative interventions that would better suit their situation.

    The client’s challenging behavior is argumentative. Patients may have a justified reason for feeling outraged. They may feel overburdened by the healthcare system, are sick, have experienced a loss, or feel a loss of control over their health. For whatever the reason is, patients more frequently direct their resentment toward the clinician as an expression of their anguish or frustration (Bickley et al., 2021).

.W. is a 70-year-old male who presents to the outpatient clinic for worsening swelling of his bilateral lower extremities and orthopnea. The following NP has been assigned to his care for about 2 years now and is familiar with this patient having a diagnosis of congestive heart failure and non-compliance with medical management. On this occasion, D.W. becomes belligerent and argumentative to the NP after waiting 20 minutes over his appointed time.

Role of Nurse Leaders and Managers in Regulatory and Practice Standards

Role of Nurse Leaders and Managers in Regulatory and Practice Standards

In Minnesota, one of the current issues identified by the State Board of Nursing is medication errors. Medication errors can have serious consequences for patient’s safety and well-being. They pose a significant challenge to healthcare facilities. To address this issue, nurse leaders and managers must take a proactive role in educating their units within the organization. Firstly, nurse leaders and managers should initiate regular training sessions on medication administration and safety protocols.

Why Nurses need to be able to Discuss Concepts of Physical Assessment

 

Nursing assessment is a core component of the nursing process and involves collecting data on the patient. Integral to the comprehensive nursing assessments is physical assessment. It is the process of evaluating anatomic findings likely to suggest the presence of an illness in the patient. It utilizes observations, auscultations, percussions, and palpation in its attempt to identify abnormalities in the anatomic features that give insight into any underlying pathology. Physical examination findings can be integrated with the subjective data to come up with a diagnosis.

Optimizing Care Through Evidence and Remote Collaboration- A Case Study

Infection control is one of the major nursing functionalities. It provides a better guarantee of safety at individual and community levels. The critical principles in the maintenance of infection control and safety include but are not limited to hand hygiene, respiratory and cough hygiene, personal protective equipment, risk assessment and patient placement, and safe management of the care environment (Dewi et al., 2023). Nurses’ position in healthcare makes them the champions of patient safety and infection control. Their roles can either make them the catalysts for infection spread or a reason for sustained maintenance of infection control. It is thus necessary that they identify critical principles in the maintenance of infection control and Safety.

Understanding and Addressing the Challenges of Treating Personality Disorders The Controversy Surrounding Personality Disorder

The controversy surrounding this disorder is based on the general understanding of the disorder as a mental illness, the classification of the disorder, and the nature of the disorder. For starters, there are controversies over the understanding of this personality disorder. Some people argue that disorders like borderline personality disorder are not mental disorders but normal human behavior and reactions toward daily stress (Connors, 2023). As such, these people believe that classifying their response to stress as a mental illness causes unnecessary stigma. On the other hand, some accept that personality disorders are a form of mental disorders, and the diagnosis process serves to help them understand their feelings and manage them effectively.

Optimizing Healthcare Performance- The Three Pillars of the Triple Aim Optimizing Healthcare Performance- The Three Pillars of the Triple Aim These are some of the questions you might consider when selecting a treatment plan for a patient. As an advanced practice nurse prescribing drugs, you are held accountable for people’s lives every day. Patients and their families will often place trust in you because of your position. With this trust comes power and responsibility, as well as an ethical and legal obligation to “do no harm.” It is important that you

Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs

The case scenario is of an 85-year-old female admitted to a long-term care facility. She has significant cognitive decline, renal failure, and CHF. She is on blood thinners, having had a valve replacement twenty years ago. The physician’s report reveals that she is nearing her death. She can barely tolerate the lab draws necessary to check her INR.

Ethical and Legal Implications

Healthcare providers play a central role in patient care. Their roles and decision-making processes are, however, guided by a set of ethical and legal provisions. The ethical principle of beneficence implores nurses and other caregivers to protect the interests of the patients by working with them toward optimizing clinical outcomes (Akdeniz et al., 2021). In this respect, they are expected to make critical decisions that enhance the survivability of their patients. Notwithstanding, the decision to do good to the patients may sometimes be challenging. Such is the case when terminal illnesses are involved. In the case presented, the decision to continue life-sustaining interventions such as monitoring for INR may pose a dilemma to the nurses as the patient agonizes the process. While these efforts are targeted at sustaining her life, she seems not to be comfortable with them. The caregiver’s dilemma, in this case, is whether to proceed with this life-sustaining process, knowing the kind of pain the caregiver elicits in the patient. Discussing the prognostic findings and the available therapeutic options with the patient may be helpful in this respect.

Caregivers also have legal obligations toward patient care and accountability for high-quality care. As per Minnesota’s statutes, patient care involves all processes encompassed within the scope of nursing practice. This includes patient monitoring. In the case scenario presented, nurses are obligated to monitor the patient, including conducting tests that contribute to the therapeutic decision-making for the patient. Notwithstanding, understanding the plight of the patients is another mandate for nurses enshrined in the legal provision of ethical practice. Striking a balance between legally astute and ethnically sound practice and the recognition of human dignity is therefore necessary. Discussing available therapeutic options with the patient may help nurses decide whether to continue life-sustaining therapy or initiate end-of-life care.

Legal and Ethical Issues Related to Psychiatric Emergencies Florida State Laws for Involuntary Psychiatric Holds

In Florida, the Baker Act serves as a legal framework governing involuntary psychiatric holds for both child and adult psychiatric emergencies. Authorized authorities, such as doctors, mental health experts, judges, and law enforcement officials, have the power to commit a person to a mental health treatment facility for up to 72 hours. When a person exhibits specific indicators of mental illness, such as violent or suicidal conduct, this intervention is initiated. The Baker Act’s principal goal is to facilitate a complete mental health evaluation during this 72-hour timeframe and effectively de-escalate the crisis.

The client who is reluctant to answer question

Hypothetical Scenario

In an urgent care clinic, Nurse Practitioner (NP) Taylor Smith finds herself faced with a challenging scenario involving an adolescent client who is reluctant to answer questions. The client, a 15-year-old named Alex, presents with lesions to his genital area. The client was accompanied by his mother and father.  The client’s parents reported that they are strictly religious and requested to be in the room during the examination because of assessing the private region. NP asked the client if it was okay for his parents to come to the examination room. He looked at his parents and stated with hesitancy, “I guess it is okay.”

The encounter takes place in a well-lit examination room, and Taylor senses Alex’s immediate reluctance to engage in the conversation. Taylor explained the necessity of examining the client’s genital area for appropriate treatment. During inspection, Taylor noted multiple sores on the anterior and lateral portions of his penis. Upon palpation,

Health Promotion Assessment Centers on Developing a Comprehensive Plan to Address Heart Disease in the Urban Adult Population Aged 30 to 60

 

This health promotion assessment centers on developing a comprehensive plan to address heart disease in the urban adult population aged 30 to 60. Rooted in collaboration, data analysis, and specific goals, the plan aims to empower individuals, reduce health disparities, and foster lasting improvements in heart health. The assessment seeks to create a foundation for positive, measurable outcomes within the identified population through targeted education and engagement.

Analyzing the Health Concern: Heart Disease

Heart disease encompasses a spectrum of conditions affecting the heart, presenting a significant public health challenge globally. The potential health impacts of heart disease are profound, extending beyond the cardiovascular system. Individuals afflicted with heart disease face an elevated risk of strokes, cardiac attacks, and other complications, thereby compromising their overall well-being and longevity (Ramesh et al., 2022). The multifactorial nature of heart disease involves a complex interplay of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors.

Underlying Assumptions and Points of Uncertainty

The assumption that unhealthy lifestyle choices significantly contribute to heart disease, including poor dietary habits, sedentary behavior, and smoking, is well-supported by evidence. However, the precise impact of each factor and their interactions pose uncertainties (Ramesh et al., 2022). Tailoring interventions to address specific lifestyle components requires a nuanced understanding of individual contexts. Further, while a genetic predisposition to heart disease is acknowledged, uncertainties persist in deciphering the extent to which genetics influence disease development. Identifying at-risk individuals and implementing preventive measures based on genetic markers demands a delicate balance between precision and potential overmedicalization (Ramesh et al., 2022).

Notably, heart disease disproportionately affects certain demographic groups, often linked to socioeconomic factors. The assumption that addressing these disparities can mitigate the burden of heart disease is evident, but uncertainties arise in implementing equitable interventions that account for diverse socioeconomic contexts (Ramesh et al., 2022). Further, health promotion plans often rely on behavior change models to encourage healthier choices. Still, uncertainties exist in predicting the efficacy of these models in diverse populations, taking into account cultural variations, psychological factors, and individual motivations (Ramesh et al., 2022).

Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs These are some of the questions you might consider when selecting a treatment plan for a patient. As an advanced practice nurse prescribing drugs, you are held accountable for people’s lives every day. Patients and their families will often place trust in you because of your position. With this trust comes power and responsibility, as well as an ethical and legal obligation to “do no harm.” It is important that you are aware of current professional, le

Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs

Introduction

Prescribing drugs as an advanced practice nurse entails a complex responsibility beyond clinical expertise. This practice’s ethical and legal dimensions become even more apparent when confronted with complex scenarios like the one described in this case study. This paper explores the ethical and legal considerations surrounding the prescription of drugs for an 18-month-old boy named TF, who was admitted for severe gastrointestinal issues. At the same time, his parents object to medical interventions due to religious beliefs. The exploration will cover all stakeholders’ considerations, disclosure, and nondisclosure strategies, decision-making processes, and the impact of state-specific regulations.

Community Resources for Effective Cognitive Impairment Care in Aging and Elder Care Alzheimer’s Association

 

This resource provides support groups, educational workshops, and a 24/7 helpline. Their programs empower caregivers and individuals with cognitive impairment, fostering understanding and enhancing coping strategies. Studies by Owens et al. (2020) highlight the positive impact of Alzheimer’s Association programs on caregiver stress reduction and improved patient outcomes.

Eldercare Locator

Run by the U.S. Administration on Aging, this service connects seniors and caregivers with local resources such as adult daycares, legal assistance, and transportation services. Evidence by Cravello et al. (2021) suggests that access to community-based services like these enhances the quality of life for seniors and caregivers, aiding in managing cognitive impairment.

Local Senior Centers

These centers offer a variety of programs, including social activities, exercise classes, and informational seminars. Studies by Cravello et al. (2021) indicate that social engagement and mental stimulation provided by these centers can help slow cognitive decline and improve overall well-being.

Memory Care Facilities

These specialized care facilities provide a secure and supportive environment for individuals with cognitive impairment. Research by Owens et al. (2020) underscores the positive impact of tailored environments and trained staff on the quality of life and management of symptoms in dementia patients.

Area Agencies on Aging (AAA)

AAA provides information and access to meal delivery, in-home care, and caregiver support. Evidence by Cravello et al. (2021) supports the effectiveness of AAA programs in reducing caregiver burden and enhancing the ability to care for older adults at home.

Dementia-Friendly Programs

According to Cravello et al. (2021), communities with initiatives aimed at creating dementia-friendly environments, including training for businesses and community members, have shown positive outcomes in reducing stigma and enhancing inclusion for those with cognitive impairment.

Conclusion

This preliminary care coordination plan outlines an approach to addressing the complexities of cognitive impairment in aging and elder care. Integrating evidence-based strategies, fostering collaboration, and leveraging diverse community resources aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals with cognitive impairment and their caregivers. Recognizing the complex nature of this health concern, the plan remains adaptable, continually evolving to incorporate new findings and innovative practices. Through education, support networks, and accessible services, this approach endeavors to create a more supportive and informed community poised to effectively manage and support those affected by cognitive impairment.

Assessment-Preliminary Care Coordination Plan Scenario Imagine that you are a staff nurse in a community care center. Your facility has always had a dedicated case management staff that coordinated the patient plan of care, but recently, there were budget cuts, and the case management staff has been relocated to the inpatient setting. Care coordination is essential to the success of effectively managing patients in the community setting, so you have been asked by your nurse manager to take on the role of care coordination. You are a bit unsure of the process, but you know you will do a good job because, as a nurse, you are familiar with difficult tasks. As you take on this expanded role, you will need to plan effectively in addressing the specific health concerns of community residents.

Specific Goals for Addressing Cognitive Impairment in Aging and Elder Care

Enhanced Caregiver Support and Education

Research by Ismail et al. (2020) indicates that it is crucial to establish educational programs for caregivers and family members to train at least 80% of primary caregivers within the community within the next year. Additionally, remember to measure success by conducting assessments and surveys to evaluate knowledge retention and skill application.

Improved Access to Resources

Another goal is to Increase access to community resources by collaborating with local organizations and institutions, ensuring that 90% of individuals with cognitive impairment and their families are aware of available support services within six months (Ismail et al., 2020). Tracking progress through attendance records and feedback from users of these services is important.

Enhanced Safety Measures

To implement safety protocols in 100% of care facilities within the community to prevent accidents related to cognitive impairment within the next three months. Regular audits and incident reports will assess the effectiveness of these measures.

Regular Health Assessments

Nevertheless, to ensure that 70% of individuals with cognitive impairment receive regular health assessments and follow-ups by healthcare professionals within the next year. Tracing this is done through medical records and appointment logs (Ismail et al., 2020). Also, engagement in cognitive exercises and healthy activities can be encouraged by organizing workshops and events, aiming for a 20% increase in participation within six months. Evaluation will be based on attendance records and pre-and-post-participation assessments.

Collaborative Care Approach

Establishing interdisciplinary meetings involving healthcare providers, social workers, and community resources to discuss quarterly and update care plans for at least 90% of individuals with cognitive impairment is also necessary (Ismail et al., 2020). Attendance records and the implementation of revised care plans will measure success.

Therapy for Clients With Personality Disorders

Personality disorders are mental health illnesses characterized by distressing, maladaptive, chronic, and pervasive patterns of cognition, mood, and behavior. Persons with these disorders experience a distorted perception of reality. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V) outlines the criteria for identifying these disorders. Per the criterion, ten personality disorders, grouped in three clusters, are elucidated. They include schizotypal, paranoid, schizoid, narcissistic, antisocial, histrionic, borderline, obsessive-compulsive, avoidant, and dependant. This paper details the therapeutic approaches for antisocial personality disorder.

A 52-year-old man is referred by his primary physician for an urgent consultation after being sent to the emergency department because of a complete heart block. One month earlier, he had a completely normal ECG.  He was seen earlier in the day, complaining of dizziness and fatigue. He states that he just feels tired even with little activity. He states that he is short of breath with activity and found it difficult to take out the garbage this morning.  An electrocardiogram (ECG) performed in his primary physician’s office is shown below (Figure 1).

The patient reports that he had a syncopal episode last week while he was camping, but he thought it might have been caused by dehydration. He has been out camping with his son several times in the past 4 months. He does not recall any tick bites, but he does remember having a rash about 2 months ago that he attributed to contact with some poison ivy. His wife reports that it was an odd-looking rash, but it resolved without medical attention. Last month he experienced some joint pain, but assumed it was arthritis exacerbated by the cold weather. He has not noticed any joint swelling or redness. He began feeling dizzy and extremely fatigued yesterday, which limited his physical activity. This morning he nearly passed out while trying to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. He is currently asymptomatic, laying supine, with no complaints. His heart rate is 48 beats per minute and his blood pressure is 110/72 mm Hg. Early laboratory testing in the emergency department revealed a mildly elevated white count.

How do These Two Articles Support the Nursing Practice Problem You Chose?

The Role of the RN/APRN in

Hand hygiene is the most common and effective infection prevention and control (IPC) in controlling and preventing Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). HAIs significantly affect patient safety and are a risk factor for morbidity and mortality (Haque et al., 2020). HAIs are associated with devices used in patient care procedures, such as catheters and ventilators, or due to infections on surgery sites (Dadi et al., 2021). A majority of HAIs are preventable with proper IPC efforts within the hospital environment. Despite the effectiveness of hand hygiene and IPC in hospital settings, adherence-related protocols fade with time. This makes a lack of adherence to hand hygiene protocols and the associated risk of higher rates of HAIs issues of concern in nursing care settings. Notably, adherence to hand hygiene practices among healthcare workers depends on their knowledge of microbial transmission during healthcare delivery, HAIs, and the key principles of hand hygiene (Tartari et al., 2019). This paper summarizes and compares two quantitative studies to help answer the PICOT question developed and support strategies to improve adherence to hand hygiene and reduction of HAI rates.

IHuman Case: Tommy Acker Blunt Trauma Differential Diagnoses Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SYRS)

The presence of swelling, heat, and pain, or tumor, calor, and dolor imply that the child may suffer from SYRS. Seeing that the patient is experiencing severe abdominal distension, bacterial translocations, and, particularly, bacterial peritonitis, can be considered one of the key factors affecting the child’s current condition (Caserta et al., 2016). The presence of Down syndrome may have contributed to the progress of the systolic murmur since the disorder is viewed as the associated condition due to the presence of duplicated chromosomes (trisomies), which predetermine the development of the Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and, thus, lead to the emergence of systolic murmurs (Breslin et al., 2014).

Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation: The role genetics plays in the disease. Why is the patient presenting with the specific symptoms described? The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred. The cells that are involved in this process. How would another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) change your response? Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.

Alterations in Cellular Processes

The presented case scenario is of an 18-year-old female with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is a chronic disease of the lungs and the digestive system. This disease has a genetic predilection. CF is an inherited disease (Chen et al., 2021), and it is caused by a genetic mutation in the gene that codes for a transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR). These mutations can result in defective protein synthesis, increased channel turnover, defective protein processing, defective conductance of the chloride ions, and disordered regulation (Bergeron & Cantin, 2019). Notwithstanding, these mutations cause diminished secretion of chloride ions and accelerated resorption of sodium ions into the cellular space, resulting in a thicker and sticky mucus

The neurobiological basis for PTSD illness includes complex changes in the neuroendocrine and the neurochemical environment, as well as neuroanatomical changes. The neuroendocrine leading to the development of PTSD occur in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis plays a central role in how individuals respond to stress. Exposure to or experiencing traumatic events, which are highly stressful events in an unexpected way, causes the hypothalamus to secrete corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH),

Examining Nursing Specialties – Mental Health Nursing

Connecticut APRNs Requi

Selecting a nursing specialty within the MSN program is a significant decision that entails careful deliberation. Several personal and professional factors influenced my choice of specialization in Mental Health Nursing. However, this decision was not without its challenges. One of the difficulties I encountered in making this choice was the broad range of specialties available within the MSN program. It was challenging to narrow down my options and determine the one that resonated most with my interests and career goals. The decision required a deep self-assessment of my passion and commitment to a particular field of nursing. Despite these challenges, I ultimately chose Mental Health Nursing due to my interest in mental health. I have always been passionate about helping individuals facing mental health challenges, reducing stigma, and promoting overall mental wellness. This specialization aligns with my intrinsic motivation to make a meaningful impact in this area of healthcare.

Question  The topic for this module week is privacy and security. As we can expect, there are challenges in maintaining secure devices as consumers as well as providing a secure network as a service provider. This provider could be the local coffee shop or a multi-million dollar aircraft. One area of interest is the In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems on these aircraft, which may be connected to the same network as the navigation and control systems. Let’s look at an IFE testing process in a modern plane by watching this video.

Pushing 787 In-flight Entertainment System to the Limit (YouTube – 2:27) (Links to an external site.)

In addition to the onboard IFE, passengers also carry with them an array of personal electronics: smartphones, tablets, laptops, gaming devices, etc. So, today’s travelers may well be using electronics almost from gate to gate.

One might ask, with travelers bringing with them so many devices on board (BYOD), what changes are we seeing with IFE systems? To answer that, here is an excerpt on IFE from an airline market business analysis (Cision PR Newswire (Links to an external site.)):

Key airlines across the globe are replacing heavy cablings and screens with onboard Wi-Fi systems for passengers to accommodate the BYOD model, thereby reducing the overall weight of the aircraft.
There has been an increasing trend of passengers bringing their Personal Electronic Devices (PED) on board and willing to pay an additional fee for using Wi-Fi during the flight.
Moreover, there is an upsurge in demand for streaming live TV onboard directly on the passengers’ devices, ultimately creating lucrative growth opportunities for the in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) market.

Your company is developing software for the company’s client, a Fortune 500 company. You and your project team are actively involved in the program development. Program Development Program Development You are finalizing the relational database that is about to be designed. Your client insists that you develop a relational database that stores related data in tables, including primary keys, foreign keys, and other design aspects. They also want to keep ZIP codes in the address data. Create a 1- to 2-page document using Microsoft® Word for your client. Detail the following: With your client planning to use ZIP codes with every address in the table, discuss its implications on the 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF rules. Describe during which stage of the software implementation these detailed design specifications will likely be implemented. Explain your reasons. Your client also wants you to use at least three programming tools in program development. After carefully evaluating several programming

Program Development

Implications of Using ZIP Codes on the 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF Rules

The use of different data types and databases is commonplace in program development. Relational databases are data sets with predefined relationships, and a change in one data element can affect other data. The first nominal field (1NF) in relational databases implies that the area can only contain one predefined data type or an atomic value. On the other hand, the second nominal form (2NF) is when the data field follows 1NF rules but has other variables entirely dependent on the primary key. 3NF, the third little form in relational databases, arranges data in a series following the 2NF principle without dependency (Link & Prade, 2019). The relational database containing addresses for each data field implies that the database will use a string for the atomic value, which can be used in the first nominal form for the lesson. The address string can be the primary key to link the other data variables in the second little form (Link & Prade, 2019).

Write a minimum 3-page, double-spaced paper on server virtualization technologies that support cloud computing. Research and provide an example of a company using virtualization for their cloud computing solution. Include at least 3 references and include those references in your paragraphs through in-text citations.

Server Virtualization and Cloud Computing

In the contemporary world of globalization and enterprise technologies, cloud computing and server virtualization are technologies that play an essential part in enhancing how organizations work. Organizations that intend to succeed in any industry must embrace technology or risk being left behind and losing their market share to more technologically advanced competitors. Virtualization is a form of technology where a copy or virtual instance of a real-life object or technology is used instead of the actual. This technology utilizes both software and hardware resources to make work easier (Zhang, 2018).

Integration:

Module integration in software development is done after successful integration testing (Noortaj, 2019). It is good practice to develop different modules independently and then integrate them. This enables software developers to focus on the function of each module before integrating them into one system. For example, the Healthy Harvest Online Store App would have several modules. These would include a login module, a cart module, a payment module, etcetera. Each module would be developed separately and tested before being integrated as one application. This would ensure that the modules work as expected and that there would be no errors and bugs introduced into the app after integration. Also, debugging modules independently is easier and faster than debugging an already integrated system. Another aspect of integration in the Healthy Harvest Online Store App would be when the app is connected to an external system. For example, the app could be integrated with an online payment platform that allows customers to make electronic payments for the groceries they order. Integration of the app with an external system would only be done after the app is tested and approved for live operations. Do you need urgent assignment help ?

How Security Controls Like Microsoft’s Firewall Assist in Controlling the Spread of Malware

 

Cyber security controls and firewalls such as the Microsoft firewall are vital in preventing attacks and infection of Malware. Cyber security controls include guidelines a company can use to avoid attacks and elements that can control access to particular computer resources such as database systems. Cyber security controls such as biometrics can be used to manage the number of individuals who can access a specific room, say the server room; this system is also efficient as it will provide a log of individuals who visited the room and the times they were in the room in case any incident occurred. Firewalls can also reduce the chances of a computer system being infected with Malware by sifting through network traffic, stopping suspicious data packets, and alarming the administrator that there is a potential cyberattack.

Role of Cybersecurity Policy

Cybersecurity policy has multifaceted functions in securing public organizations, private organizations, government organizations, and the nation’s infrastructure. The cybersecurity policy guarantees the proper assignment of roles and responsibilities among information system experts. (Lubua & Pretorius 2019; Kahyaoglu & Caliyurt, 2018). This approach ascertains that each party accounts for events within their jurisdiction area. Baleva (2021) explains that cybersecurity professionals perform some of these roles, including threat intelligence, maintaining network safety, safeguarding data files, and managing vulnerabilities.

Cybersecurity Operations and Administration

A policy can be described as a statement that describes the acceptable behaviour, goals, and ethics of a particular organization or enterprise. Policies are used to guide organization members to ensure the organization is moving in one direction towards achieving its objectives. Cyber security and security generally cannot be controlled by one person or department but rather depend on the entire organization’s behaviour. Security policies cannot solve these problems, but if properly written and followed by the organization’s members, they can drastically reduce attack risk (Sehgal, Bhatt & Acken, 2020).

Peer-to-Peer Networks The IT Manager was excited about your plans to implement software restriction policies in the new network Peer-to-Peer Networks Peer-to-Peer Networks upgrade. They have been experiencing problems with employees downloading unlicensed software off of peer-to-peer networks and installing them on company computers. Discuss these challenges with your team. What are the ethical and moral dilemmas in using peer-to-peer networks? Are they fundamentally right or wrong? Describe at least two successful legislations related to computer security, information privacy, or Internet crime. Did they effectively address the issues? How could they do better?

Peer-to-Peer Networks

Peer-to-peer networks provide various benefits, such as increasing the ease of sharing files between users, providing fault tolerance in a network, and addressing the issue of censorship in the network. Despite the various benefits of peer-to-peer networks, they also present challenges that raise ethical and moral dilemmas. An example of an ethical issue raised by peer-to-peer networks includes the unrestricted sharing of copyrighted files (Christin, 2011). Apart from sharing copyrighted files, the issue of sharing illegal files is associated with peer-to-peer networks. Various aspects have to be considered to determine whether peer-to-peer networks are fundamentally right or wrong. These aspects include the end-users, the content providers, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). From the end-users perspectives, peer-to-peer networks provide an opportunity to access the content they require by paying the least possible charge. While content providers note the loss of revenue from the presence of peer-to-peer networks, changes in their business models can address copyright infringement issues (Christin, 2011).

Securing Your Data- Understanding Data at Rest, In Use, and In Transit Difference in Data at Rest, in Use, and in Transit.

 

For any organization to settle on an appropriate encryption technique, it should be able to tell apart these three data states. The first state of data is data at rest, which involves data stored on devices operating on a particular network. Since this data type is mostly preserved, it has been identified as less risky than data in motion. In this regard, data at rest may include information saved in a database or on a portable device (Ghouse et al., 2019). Secondly, the data in use denotes data actively accessed and processed by the users. Data in this state has been identified as the most vulnerable, irrespective of whether it’s being read, processed, or updated, because of its ease of accessibility (Ghouse et al., 2019). In this stage, the data is regularly exposed to external attacks or becomes vulnerable to human mistakes that may yield serious implications. Get in touch with us at eminencepapers.com.

Encryption and Data Integrity- Demystifying Symmetric Asymmetric Methods and Hashing Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption

The two broad categories of encryption are symmetric and asymmetric encryption. Symmetric encryption is a strategy that utilizes the secret key, which in most cases can either be a word, a number, or a string of random letters. This strategy encompasses blending with the plain text of the message to change the content in a certain way. The secret key used in encrypting the message should be known by both the sender and recipient for encryption and decryption processes to occur seamlessly. Examples of symmetric encryption include DES, RC5, RC6, and AES (Dixit et al., 2018, p. 241).

Laws that apply once cybercrime crosses national and international boundaries and their importance

Various laws apply once cybercrime crosses national and international boundaries. The first law is known as the Convention on Cybercrime Law. This law applies to international borders because it protects computer systems’ integrity by criminalizing unauthorized access to systems using various techniques. This law grants countries the right to develop laws in their domestic jurisdiction to prevent unauthorized access to part of the system by third parties without the right to do so (Siregar & Sinaga, 2021).

Elements of Fraud and Compliance Laws

Due to the combination of two natural gas transportation firms, Kenneth Lay founded Enron. These two businesses, Houston Natural Gas Corporation and InterNorth Inc., combined to form a new business in 1986 that was dubbed Enron. However, the newly founded firm lost its exclusive right to engage in the pipeline industry after a number of regulations surrounding the deregulation of the sale of natural gas in the U.S. were implemented in the 1990s (Kim & Solomon, 2021). The knowledge of Jeffrey Skilling enabled the business to change into a dealer of energy derivative contracts, performing the middleman role.

Customer Support, Inc. Case Study
Customer Support, Inc. (CSUP) is a large corporation with international clients that provides customer support related to their bank, credit card, or other financial accounts of their clients. It has over 5,000 full-time employees across the United States.
Its HR department recently completed a skills gap analysis for its workforce using resumes, employee feedback, managerial feedback, industry data, and analysis of internal data related to task completion. It identified skills gaps related to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, and its new CRM software that needed to be improved across the organization. HR also projects a 10-15% productivity improvement across its workforce by providing these skills across its workforce.
The IT department has been assigned to the project of providing access to a third-party vendor’s training materials to all of its employees. The courses taken should be tracked within each employee’s HR information, which uses a separate HR software package. Lastly, each employee will have a set of courses linked to their annual performance assessment, which is tracked using the same HR software. Employees will only get their full bonus if they complete the courses their managers assign to them and link to their performance assessment.
You can assume that the project will take 5 months with an initial cost estimate of $150,000.

Part B

The Differences between Agile and Waterfall Methodologies

There are several differences between agile and waterfall methodologies. First, agile methodology separates the project development lifecycle into sprints, while waterfall methodology divides the project into various phases (Lawal & Ogbu, 2021). Furthermore, agile methodology adheres to an incremental approach, while waterfall methodology sticks to a sequential design approach. The incremental approach used in agile methodology dictates that the primary focus is on attaining critical business objectives while overlooking minute processes of the business (Lawal & Ogbu, 2021). On the other hand, the sequential design approach involves collecting data over two consecutive phases where the analyzed quantitative data influences qualitative data collection. The other difference is that agile methodology is known for its flexibility, making adjustments possible along the way. However, the waterfall methodology is a structured software development methodology that is usually relatively rigid.

The agile methodology may encompass a collection of different projects being executed simultaneously. On the other hand, the waterfall methodology is only used to perform one single task at a time. Completing one project may inform the start of another project without them running co-current. As a flexible methodology, agile permits changes to be made in the project development requirements even after the completion of the initial planning (Van Casteren, 2017). This is not possible in the case of waterfall methodology, as the requirements cannot be adjusted once the project development starts. The other variation is that an iterative development approach is followed in agile methodology. Some processes, like planning, development, and prototyping phases, may appear more than once in the project development cycle (Van Casteren, 2017). Interestingly, the waterfall methodology requires development phases like designing, planning, and testing to be executed once within the model. Whereas testing is performed concurrently with software development in agile methodology, the testing phase is only executed after completing the building phase in waterfall methodology.

The last variations between these methodologies relate to their mindset, coordination, and environment in which they operate. For instance, the agile methodology works effectively in a product mindset where the software is focused on satisfying the needs of its end users and changing based on customer demands. The waterfall methodology works effectively in a project mindset that focuses on accomplishing the project (Lawal & Ogbu, 2021). Regarding coordination, agile methodology prefers a small team that increases engagement in the execution of vital roles. On the contrary, the waterfall methodology may work with a large team since team synchronization may be required at only trim levels (Van Casteren, 2017). Finally, regarding the environment, the description of project details may change at any time in the SDLC process in agile methodology. In contrast, project descriptions in the waterfall are final, and no adjustments can be made.

The Rationale for the Selected Methodology

I selected the waterfall methodology because the project under consideration was only one– to enhance the skill set of employees within the organization. Furthermore, the rigidity of the requirements in the waterfall methodology would mean that the project would stick to the set timelines and costs. Also, collecting data in two consecutive phases ensures that the requirements developed are informed by research, reducing the need for future adjustments.

Roles of Key Stakeholders

Project Manager

The project manager performs various roles in a project executed under the waterfall methodology. First, the project manager must plan and develop the project idea. In this role, the project manager works with the company’s internal and external clients to develop a process that would necessitate the success of an idea (Levitt, 2016). The process includes but is not limited to developing a detailed project plan, defining the project scope, and assigning specific tasks to team members (Levitt, 2016). The other roles the project manager performs are to lead the dream team, monitor the project progress, and solve issues that arise during the project execution.

A 63-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a chief complaint of palpitations. The woman was suffering from stage C heart failure and had been receiving digoxin, furosemide, and losartan for 6 months. Laboratory data on admission included potassium 3.9 mEq/L (normal 3.5−5.0 mEq/L), calcium 9.2 mg/dL (normal 8.5−10.5 mg/dL), magnesium 2.5 mEq/L (normal 1.5−2.0 mEq/L), total thyroxine (T4) 42 ng/mL (normal 50−110 ng/mL), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) 15 mIU/mL (normal 0.5−5.5 mIU/mL). Palpitations in a 63-Year-Old Woman with Stage C Heart Failure-A Clinical Case Study Palpitations in a 63-Year-Old Woman with Stage C Heart Failure-A Clinical Case Study An electrocardiogram showed junctional tachycardia, which, according to her nurse practitioner, was most likely due to digoxin treatment. Which of the following pathologic conditions most likely increased the risk of digoxin toxicity in this patient? A. Hypermagnesemia B. Hyperaldosteronism C. Hyperparathyroidism D. Concomitan

Palpitations in a 63-Year-Old Woman with Stage C Heart Failure-A Clinical Case Study

The most likely pathologic condition that increased the risk of digoxin toxicity in this patient is D. Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism significantly affects the pharmacokinetics of digoxin. The kidneys primarily eliminate digoxin, and thyroid hormones are crucial in regulating renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. In hypothyroidism, there is a reduction in these renal functions, leading to a decreased clearance of digoxin from the body (Cummings & Swoboda, 2022). As a result, the serum concentration of digoxin may rise, predisposing the patient to toxicity.

The laboratory data in the case report supports the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. The elevated Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level of 15 ml/mL indicates inadequate thyroid hormone production, and the elevated T4 level of 42 ng/mL suggests an attempt by the body to compensate for the low thyroid hormone levels (Delitala et al., 2019). These abnormal thyroid function tests reinforce the presence of hypothyroidism in this patient.

Subsequently, the impact of hypothyroidism on digoxin metabolism is particularly significant because digoxin has a narrow therapeutic window. Even subtle changes in its concentration can lead to adverse effects, such as the junctional tachycardia observed in this patient (Delitala et al., 2019). Digoxin toxicity can manifest with various symptoms, including palpitations, and the patient’s presentation aligns with the known effects of elevated digoxin levels on the heart’s electrical conduction system (Cummings & Swoboda, 2022).

Considering the patient’s medical history of heart failure and the prescribed medications, the concurrent presence of hypothyroidism exacerbates the risk of digoxin toxicity. Healthcare providers should be vigilant in monitoring thyroid function in digoxin therapy patients, especially those with known risk factors such as heart failure (Delitala et al., 2019). In summary, hypothyroidism, as evidenced by elevated TSH and T4 levels, is the most probable pathologic condition contributing to the increased risk of digoxin toxicity in this patient. Monitoring and managing thyroid function in individuals on digoxin therapy is crucial to prevent adverse events associated with digoxin toxicity.

Discussion – Telehealth and Nursing

Telehealth presents several opportunities to enhance care for patients like those with heart failure. Unlike traditional care that involves periodic in-person hospital visits, telehealth can be applied to provide remote healthcare services to heart failure patients through audio and video telecommunications and other technologies. Through such technologies, telehealth can be used to increase care access for patients in underserved areas, those with physical disabilities or limited access to transportation, who cannot access cardiologists with heart failure expertise (Creber et al., 2023).

The role of government in healthcare has evolved over time. In 1798, President John Adams signed the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen, imposing a twenty-cent per month tax on sailors to be used to pay for care at various American ports. This was America’s first federal “insurance mandate” and the first socialized medical program. The program was a small but impactful step on the part of the federal government, and it gradually led to the building of federal hospitals and then ultimately to the development of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), which still exists today. There have been numerous developments since then, including the creation of Medicare and Medicaid programs in 1965 and, more recently, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies

 

Technological advances continue to redefine global operationalizations. The dawn of health information technologies has given insights into their significance in perpetuating effective care by streamlining the flow of health information. In a dynamic landscape where clinical complexities continue to challenge normative approaches to healthcare delivery, these technologies preserve the role of quality and safety maintenance (Astier et al., 2020). In chronic care, health information technologies provide divergent approaches to quality and safety assurance. Utilizing diverse health information technologies, the chronic care model maintains effectiveness in optimizing clinical outcomes and patient well-being. Nursing informatics plays a role in this respect. Their expertise, position in healthcare, and role in bridging the gap between providers and various information systems make them valuable in chronic care. This proposal highlights the significance of nursing informatics in chronic care, detailing the stakeholders involved in the project, the outcomes it aims to improve, and the technologies required.

For this assessment, you will research best practices related to a current healthcare problem. Your selected problem or issue will be utilized again in Assessment 4. Before you complete the instructions detailed in the courtroom, first select one of the following healthcare problems or issues: Applying Research Skills-Medication Errors Applying Research Skills-Medication Errors · Medication Errors Description: A medication error is a preventable adverse effect of a patient taking the wrong medication or dosage, whether or not it is evident or harmful to the patient. Medication errors can be a source of serious patient harm, including death.

Applying Research Skills-Medication Errors

Summary of the Problem

Medication errors are a persistent but preventable issue in healthcare. They majorly occur due to mistakes at any point in the medication process. In nursing, they majorly occur due to insufficient knowledge, workload, interruptions, burnout, and unclear guidelines (Wondmieneh et al., 2020). Medication errors are a problem with significant professional relevance as they have negative impacts on care quality and safety, the provider’s reputation, and negative economic outcomes. I have experienced how medication errors affect patient well-being and put a lot of stress and pressure on the care provider. For instance, I have witnessed minor situations and near misses. However, one case involving a newly employed physician ended up sending the patient to the emergency room as the patient had underlying hemophilia and the medication was blood thinner. This and the other cases made me explore various evidence-based interventions to prevent medication errors and improve the quality and safety I deliver.

Action Plan for Mental Health Sensitization

Like many African Americans, Cameroon Americans have a culture that promotes the stigmatization of mental health. They distrust the American healthcare system and believe that mental health is due to witchcraft and possession of spirits (Edem-Enang, 2021). It will thus be critical to develop an action plan to sensitize this community on the available mental health services they can access to improve. This project will educate Cameroon Americans on the causes, symptoms, and management strategies for mental healthcare conditions. This action plan aims to demystify the myths associated with mental health. The nursing interventions that will help achieve the project goals will also be considered. It is also critical to include both private and public partnerships that can help implement the action plan.

Goals

This action plan will have two goals that align with the Healthy People 2020 objectives:

Enhance the quality, availability, and effectiveness of community-based and education programs for mental health to improve health, prevent disease, and improve the quality of life (CDC, 2018).

Enhance the health status and well-being of all people at risk of or suffering from mental health conditions (CDC, 2018).

Objectives

Increase the proportion of Cameroon Americans who self-report good mental health within six months (CDC, 2018).

How the Four Articles Support Solving the Nursing Adherence to Hand Hygiene Problem

 

The nursing practice maintains an important position in the general provision of healthcare. Attainment of better-quality healthcare services, therefore, requires that nurses do their duties optimally and with full dedication towards this course. Optimal productivity, however, is intrinsic and individually driven. Nursing philosophies are intended to bring the best out of individual nurses. These philosophies are expressions of one’s driving force towards not only becoming a better nurse but also creating the work environment they envision themselves to be having. Philosophy statements in this regard encompass beliefs, values, and ethics that guide the practice of nursing as well as motivate individual nurses to fully dedicate their lives towards the betterment of their patients’ lives. This paper seeks to discuss a theoretical framework for a philosophy that guides nursing practice.

Case Study: Confidentiality and Mental Health

 Dr. Laura Simmons, a licensed clinical psychologist, has been treating Mr. Alex Turner, a 35- 35-year-old software engineer, for symptoms of severe depression and anxiety over the past six months. Their sessions have been characterized by trust and open communication, with Alex often sharing his deepest fears and concerns.

During a particularly intense session, Alex reveals to Dr. Simmons that he has been having recurring thoughts of harming a colleague due to a longstanding professional rivalry and recent personal conflicts. He describes detailed plans and expresses a genuine intent to act on these thoughts.

Dr. Simmons is immediately faced with an ethical dilemma. She values the principle of confidentiality, which is foundational to the therapeutic relationship. Alex trusted her with his innermost thoughts, and she knew that breaking this trust could potentially harm their therapeutic alliance. However, she is also bound by the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence. Beneficence compels her to act in the best interest of her patient and those around him, while non-maleficence emphasizes the importance of “doing no harm.”

Protecting Human Subjects in Research- Principles and Obligations for Researchers Historical background of human subject protection

 

The basic regulations governing human subjects’ protection in research were introduced in 1974.During that year, Congress passed the first legislation aimed at protecting the welfare and right of human subjects. The regulation was known as the National Research Act that led to the formulation of the National Commission for Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research that provided the Belmont Report (Rice, 2008). The report provided three major principles for conducting research using human subjects, which were justice, beneficence and respect for persons.

Why is it important that you can feel this sensation?

Sensory Experience- Exploring Touch and its Importance in Perception

Pain can be defined as a feeling of discomfort usually caused by stimuli arising from tissue damage. According to Yam et al. (2018), pain is a body’s defense mechanism against the stimulus that mostly arises from our surroundings. The pain can either be acute or chronic, and only the sufferer can describe its intensity. Acute pain occurs immediately after an injury and is self-limiting most of the time. On the other hand, chronic pain is long-standing and usually has no physiologic benefit (Gadhvi & Waseem, 2021)

Personal Theoretical Framework for Advanced Practice Nursing Personal Theoretical Framework for Advanced Practice Nursing Once you have discussed your philosophy, identify a theoretical framework (not the middle-range theories but the underlying assumptions in that framework) that fits your philosophy. Compare and contrast your philosophy and the chosen framework. Describe a possible situation in which the framework may conflict or not fit your philosophy. While it is an important skill to be able to match a theory with a situation, it is also critical to understand when a theory or framework does not fit a situation.

 

The nursing practice maintains an important position in the general provision of healthcare. Attainment of better-quality healthcare services, therefore, requires that nurses do their duties optimally and with full dedication towards this course. Optimal productivity, however, is intrinsic and individually driven. Nursing philosophies are intended to bring the best out of individual nurses. These philosophies are expressions of one’s driving force towards not only becoming a better nurse but also creating the work environment they envision themselves to be having. Philosophy statements in this regard encompass beliefs, values, and ethics that guide the practice of nursing as well as motivate individual nurses to fully dedicate their lives towards the betterment of their patients’ lives.

Tobacco use (including all: vaping, e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and smoking) cessation. Historically, nurses have significantly contributed to community and public health concerning health promotion, disease prevention, and environmental and public safety. They have also been instrumental in shaping public health policy. Today, community and public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues. Community and public health nursing aims to optimize the health of individuals and families, considering cultural, racial, and ethnic groups, communities, and populations. Caring for a population involves identifying the factors that place the population’s health at risk and developing specific interventions to address those factors. Health Promotion Plan- Tobacco Use Health Promotion Plan- Tobacco Use The community/public health nurse uses epidemiology to customize disease prevention and health

Health Promotion Plan- Tobacco Use

Tobacco use is becoming a growing epidemic in the United States. Tobacco use has many negative health and economic consequences. Tobacco increases the risk of cancer, COPD, tuberculosis, eye problems, and rheumatoid arthritis (West, 2017). Tobacco use is common globally. Many people know the unhealthy effects of tobacco, but they still use it due to its addictive effects. The negative healthcare effects can cause many health comorbidities and even death. Despite these effects, many people, including the youth, use different forms of tobacco products. Tobacco is very addictive, hence why many people cannot stop using it (Onor et al., 2017). Some of the comorbidities include respiratory and cardiac problems. It is thus critical for nurses to implement health promotion programs to reduce the burden of tobacco use within our society.

Dependent and Independent Variables in Evidence-Based Practice-Nursing

 

My evidence-based project is the prevention of pressure sores in an acute hospital setting. Collecting independent and dependent variables is critical in evaluating the outcomes of evidence-based projects (Abou Hashish & Alsayed, 2020). One of the dependent variables that I will collect for my evidence-based project is the pressure ulcers developing in patients admitted to acute care settings. A dependent variable is a variable that is being tested in a scientific experiment (Andrade, 2021). My evidence-based project aimed to prevent pressure sores. These variables are critical since they will ascertain the efficiency of the health outcomes of my evidence-based practice project by frequently changing the patient’s position (Boyko et al., 2018).

Assigning Delegating, Supervising and Prioritizing Care

Delegation and assignment of duty can be defined as an authoritative transfer of duty from one individual to another while closely monitoring them. In the nursing profession, duty delegation is an important factor because it helps save time and also prioritizes patients from those who are very ill to those who are stable without any form of negligence ( Lacharity et al., 2021). In a clinical setting where there are Licensed practice nurses (LPN) and certified nursing assistants (CNA), it is the responsibility of the registered nurse to assign duties and supervise them. However, it is important to understand the capabilities of the licensed practice nurse and the certified nursing assistant before delegating tasks to them.

Implementing Quality Measures in Healthcare- Process and Outcome Measures for Continuous Improvement

In the healthcare delivery industry, continuous quality Improvement (CQI) is a deliberate and defined process aimed at activities that focus on patients’ needs and improve population healthcare (McCalman et al., 2019). CQI aims to implement programs continuously to improve healthcare services. Outcomes measures indicate the effects of healthcare interventions on the health status of patients (Kampstra et al., 2018). An example of an outcome measure would be the rate of hospital-acquired infections. On the other hand, process outcomes indicate what healthcare conditions do to improve the health of their patients (Akmaz et al., 2019). An example of a process measure is the percentage of diabetic patients who have controlled blood sugar levels.

Instructions Scenario: You are working as a Registered Nurse at a local hospital that has recently changed ownership. The new hospital owners are committed to a culture that embraces evidence-based practice (EBP) and utilizes EBP as a guide for their policies and procedures. The focus on evidence-based practice can be seen as part of the hospital’s mission statement and local advertising campaign, which states, “Evidence-based practice: The key to advancing quality and safety in healthcare.” The hospital’s mission includes the statement: “…to be the healthcare center of choice, through superior clinical outcomes, evidence-based practice-driven protocols, and the advancement of practice utilizing formal and continuing education.”The hospital leadership team has shared that they are beginning the process of applying for Magnet status as a healthcare facility. They have asked for volunteers to serve on a sub-committee to select a nursing theorist as a framework that will be used to guide

Theories Guiding Nursing Practice

Introduction

In its ideal definition, a theory refers to a view, guiding principle, or guideline recommended or adhered to as the base of a given action. As such, nursing models and theories are integral in shaping the parameters of individualized-centered care delivery. Without these theories in place, the nursing practice would fail to have a linear focus, i.e., an organic emphasis placed on patients and the treatment of health-related needs. This means that healthcare facilities that want to be accredited to Magnet status ought to recognize that nursing theories provide a framework for evidence-based practice. The following proposal aims to present valuable insights from various theories and how they can aid in advancing the mission of the facility as a leading provider of evidence-based practice.

Additional Theory or Model That Would Be Effective for a Health Care Leader to Employ

The transformational leadership model would be effective for a healthcare leader to employ. This model can be applied at all levels of an organization, from department, team, division level, and the entire organization. The model schematically represents individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, idealized influence, and inspirational motivation (Shelton, 2012). It demonstrates the impact that leaders have on followers, which results in positive changes in subordinates. The model suggests that these components must be harmonized to yield a performance beyond the organization’s expectations (Shelton, 2012).

The Concept of Stewardship From Servant Leadership, Christian Worldview, Professional Responsibility, and Their Application in a Health Care Setting

The concept of stewardship relates to the Christian worldview through spirituality. Servant leadership is founded on community and teamwork and focuses on involving others in decision-making (Van Dierendonck & Patterson, 2010). It is additionally based on caring behavior and ethical imperatives, as well as attempts to improve the personal growth of the subjects and the general quality of the institution being served, thus promoting stewardship. The connection between servant leadership and spirituality is also about getting people to a higher level of self-actualization and self-fulfillment by uplifting them to higher levels based on Christ’s emphasis on caring and selfless behaviors(Ewest & Weeks, 2018

The activity is not graded and counts towards course engagement.

Protected Health Information- Social Media Best Practices

Healthcare professionals are accountable and answerable for their use of protected health information. Protected health information (PHI) is defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as “any individually identifiable information relating to the past, present or future health status of an individual created, collected, transmitted or stored by HIPAA-covered entities and their business associates” (HIPAA Journal, 2018). Privacy, security, and confidentiality of health information are promoted and supported by various regulatory agencies and the government. Health data relating to health care providers, such as medical histories, diagnoses, treatments, medical test results, demographic data, payments for health services, and insurance information, are protected under HIPAA. HIPAA Security Rules demand the implementation of safeguards to ensure the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of PHI, while HIPAA Privacy Rules restrict the disclosure and use of PHI. Privacy violations attract significant penalties for both healthcare workers and organizations.

As a new graduate, you are interviewing for a position as a registered nurse in a large academic medical centre. When scheduling the interview, the Human Resources department provided some possible interview topics and suggested that you be prepared to discuss these topics. One topic included, “Discuss one nursing theorist that will guide your clinical practice.” Theoretical Frameworks in Nursing Practice Theoretical Frameworks in Nursing Practice Initial Post: Select one nursing theorist and summarize the theory. Identify the concepts and relational statements of the selected nursing theory. Discuss the contributions of that theory of nursing practice. Describe how this nursing theory will guide your nursing practice, including at least one specific example.

Theoretical Frameworks in Nursing Practice

Florence Nightingale’s Environmental Theory postulated that nursing science should utilize the patients’ environment to help them recover. This theory involves the nurse configuring the environment to help restore the patient’s health (Gilbert, 2020). The theory has five environmental factors: pure water, fresh air, sanitation, cleanliness, and direct sunlight. She postulated that the lack of these environmental factors could lead to ill health, but the human body can heal itself when a nurturing environment is provided (Nadeem, 2020).

Unmet Challenges in Addressing Mental Health Concerns- Goals and Outcomes from Healthy People 2020

Mental health is a key aspect of a person’s general well-being. It can be described as a successful state of being able to perform mental functions, establish and maintain healthy and fulfilling relationships and adapt and cope with changing situations in one’s life. Mental disorders are described as health conditions that cause an alteration in an individual’s general thinking, mood and behaviour (Healthy People 2020, n.d.). Mental disorders are one of the commonest causes of disability, and data from the United States in a given year estimated that about 18.1% of adults suffered from a certain mental illness. Mental health is, therefore, a critical aspect of any health policy. This paper aims at discussing aspects of mental health that are not being addressed through data comparison and highlighting areas that require improvement.

A 23-Year-Old Woman with Diabetes Insipidus on DDAVP Therapy Patients with Diabetes Insipidus (DI), a disorder characterized by reduced urine concentration, produce an abnormally large amount of urine that is extremely watered down (Mutter et al., 2021). This results in a significant amount of drinkable water being lost to evaporation and subsequent dehydration. Hypernatremia is defined by increased levels of sodium and occurs when the body retains sodium as a compensatory strategy (Cattaneo & Mannucci, 2019). Due to the imbalance in sodium-to-water excretion, a 23-year-old female with diabetes insipidus is likely to have a high salt level. The concentration of a solute in a solution, or its osmolarity, is a key notion in comprehending the pathogenesis of diabetes insipidus. Because free water is lost in large quantities due to ineffective urine concentration, the osmolarity of the body’s remaining fluids rises (Weiner & Vuguin, 2020). Urine diluting and the body’s natural inclinatio

Diabetes Insipidus and Celiac Disease

Response 1

Hello,

Thank you for your post. Your discussion on a 23-year-old woman with Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is very insightful. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment modalities associated with the disorder. The explanation of osmolarity as a key concept in DI pathogenesis adds depth to the discussion. Further, your differentiation between central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) explains their distinct etiologies and treatment approaches for each. The emphasis on the use of Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) in CDI underscores the significance of targeted hormonal replacement therapy (Garrahy et al., 2020). Furthermore, you also mentioned the specificity of DDAVP for V2 receptors in the kidneys and its reduced vasoconstrictive impact on blood vessels. This provides valuable insights into its pharmacological action. I would like to further explore the potential challenges or considerations in DDAVP therapy. For instance, dosage adjustments, potential side effects, or scenarios where alternative treatments might be considered. Additionally, exploring the patient’s perspective and potential lifestyle adjustments that may accompany long-term management could offer a holistic view. Get in touch with us at eminencepapers.com. We offer assignment help with high professionalism.

Subsequently, your inclusion of the causes of CDI, such as autoimmune diseases, trauma, and tumors affecting the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, aligns with current literature. It contributes to an all-inclusive understanding of the disorder’s origins. Moreover, the recognition of acquired factors and genetic mutations as potential causes of NDI broadens the discussion. It highlights the need for individualized treatment strategies based on the underlying etiology (Lu & He, 2023). Overall, your post provides a strong foundation for understanding and approaching Diabetes Insipidus. I look forward to delving deeper into specific aspects for a more comprehensive discussion.

Understanding Osteoarthritis- Pathophysiology, Osteophyte Formation, and NSAID Treatment Osteoarthritis (OA) is a Disease of Articular Cartilage and Subchondral Bone

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive breakdown of articular cartilage and changes in the underlying subchondral bone in diarthrodial (freely movable) joints. Articular cartilage, a smooth and elastic tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints, provides a low-friction surface for joint movement. This cartilage undergoes gradual wear and tear in OA, leading to its thinning and eventual loss (van den Bosch, 2021). Additionally, the subchondral bone, which lies beneath the cartilage, undergoes remodeling and may develop sclerosis, cysts, and other structural changes. As the cartilage deteriorates, the bones in the joint can come into direct contact, causing pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. The loss of the protective cushioning provided by healthy cartilage contributes to the symptoms associated with OA.

However, the flow and stages in the dying experience may be notable a month or three before the actual death occurs.

The stages move from the patient withdrawing from the world around them as the reality of their death becomes apparent to them (Karnes, 2021). They even eat less or majorly become choosy on what to eat and prefer liquids to solids. A week or two to their death, the patient grows disoriented with notable physical and body changes, including lowering of blood pressure, fluctuations of body temperature, and skin color changes. In a day or two to a few hours before death, the patient grows energetic, and at the same time, the systems begin to shut down. The people around the patient, especially the close family, experience the loss of their loved one.

How do you develop a needs assessment on this particular population? Mr. Bomar states, “To develop a needs assessment, I utilize assessment screening tools such as the brief addiction monitor (BAM), general anxiety disorder-7 (GAD7), and the patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9). These assessments help me to establish a baseline of what is going on with the patient. I generally start with the psychosocial assessment, which evaluates the individual’s mental, physical, and emotional health. From the information that I gather from the screening tools and the psychosocial assessment, I can then determine if the patient can benefit from psychotherapy treatments such as cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), contingency management therapy (CMT) or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).” How do you approach/interact successfully with this population of patients? Mr. Bomar states, “I treat this population of patients with the same respect and c

The resolve to better community health has been earmarked by considerable emphasis on lessening healthcare disparities. Notwithstanding, significant disparities are still apparent among vulnerable populations. To these populations, traditional healthcare problems such as poor access to healthcare, risk of disease, and mortality are still imminent.

Parklands formula is used to determine the fluid requirements in burn patients who have been critically affected during the first 24 hours (Mehta & Tudor, 2021). The patient weighs 100 pounds. The first step is to convert this weight into kilograms, and the equivalent is 50kg. This weight in kilograms is then multiplied by the total burned surface area and amount of fluid. This will be 50x 30 x 4, which will be 6000. The 6000 is then divided into two. The first half is given during the first six hours of arrival at the hospital. The remaining half is divided into sixteen-hour, which are administered to the patient at a rate of 187.5mls per hour, while the rest of the 1500ml is given in the next eight hours

Research is used to generate new knowledge, while evidence-based practice translates the generated knowledge into nursing practice. Research tests new hypotheses, while EBP aims to critically appraise research-based evidence. Research also validates existing hypotheses. Research identifies gaps in existing research studies, asks questions concerning these gaps, and develops a hypothesis to answer these questions (Mader & Windelspecht, 2017). Research is systematically conducted to test a hypothesis. The steps in the research include making an observation, developing a hypothesis, designing a study, data collection, data analysis, and conclusion (Mader & Windelspecht, 2017).

How Requirements for Bachelor of Science in Nursing prepare us to meet Competencies of a Nurse Leader

Leadership Opportunities for Effective Nurse Leaders

Current Leadership Skills

An effective nurse leader can be defined as a leader who inspires followers toward achieving one goal. The qualities that define effective leadership include courage, integrity, the ability to handle challenging situations, and the ability to take the initiative. Currently, the essential nurse leader competencies include critical thinking and decision-making, emotional intelligence, integrity, good communication and listening skills, professionalism, respect, mentorship, and professional socialization (Major, 20019). In comparison with the competencies outlined by Houston (2008), the current needs fully align with those that were identified, except for a few skills that should be added. For instance, the world is now shifting to transformational leadership, and therefore nurse leaders should not only be ordering or giving instructions to their followers but also motivate and challenge followers or employees to be responsible for their roles and work beyond what is expected of them. Therefore, there is a need for nurse leaders to implement transformational leadership. Secondly is the act of emotional intelligence and mentorship. Leaders should be aware of their emotions and how they react to certain challenges to prepare them to overcome difficult situations without being unprofessional. In addition, the nurse leader should act as an example to fellow nurses through role modeling. Our assignment writing help is at affordable prices to students of all academic levels and academic disciplines.

Carol Huston’s article “Preparing Nurse Leaders for 2020” was published in the Journal of Nursing Management in 2008. Read the article’s abstract below. Abstract Aim: This article highlights eight leadership competencies likely to be an essential part of the nurse leader’s repertoire in 2020. Background: Planning for the future is difficult, even when environments are relatively static. When environments are dynamic, the challenges multiply exponentially. Unfortunately, few environments have been more unpredictable in the 21st century than healthcare. The healthcare system is in chaos, as is much of the business world. It is critical then that contemporary nursing and healthcare leaders identify skill sets that will be needed by nurse leaders in 2020 and begin now to create the educational models and management development programs necessary to assure these skills are present.

Incomplete or Missing Documentation: Patient Safety in Healthcare

 

 

Scenario

Patient safety is among the top concerns for every healthcare set-up due to the associated negative consequences affecting care outcomes and other related issues, such as legal suits. One of the ways to ensure that patients are safe when being taken care of is by detailed documentation covering all relevant areas. However, one of my direct reports has been reported to have numerous cases of incomplete or missing documentation.

Enhancing Patient Safety- Applying Course Concepts to Address Medication Errors Quality In Health Care

 

The primary role of health organizations is to provide safe, quality, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare services. There are many challenges that healthcare organizations face in designing quality improvement programs to provide safe and quality healthcare services. The patient is at the center of the healthcare delivery industry, and all healthcare programs must thus be implemented to ensure that patient needs and preferences are met. Patient safety aims to prevent and reduce patient risk and preventable harm during the delivery of healthcare services (World Health Organization, 2019). Patient safety is essential in the delivery of quality healthcare services.

Any healthcare organization’s success depends on its ability to optimize care provision processes towards safe and effective care. This, however, is dependent on the individual input of members of these healthcare organizations. Overall success is only attainable when each component of these systems is effective in their clinical decision-making processes. This also requires a collaboration between the healthcare provider leaders and their subjects in key healthcare operationalizations that contribute to caring optimization.

Integrating Evidence-Based Practice into Nursing- Commitment Challenges and Strategies for Success

Evidence-based practice is defined as the incorporation of clinical expertise, research evidence, as well as patient preferences in the delivery of individualized patient care. The reforms that are currently taking place within nursing practice emphasize the need to integrate evidence-based practice as a critical component of the practice of BSN-prepared RN (Orta, 2016). One logic behind this is that EBP has been proven to increase quality and safety of care and, as such, promote positive patient health outcomes. Besides, the use of EBP has also been proven to contain ever-boggling healthcare expenditures, making it a top priority in meeting the triple aim.

Graphical Displays of DataUnit 1 Discussion: Graphical Displays of Data Visual displays provide the viewer with information that illustrates qualitative or quantitative information about the data set under review. After reading the assigned sections in Chapter 2, please give an example of where you think a graphical display could be misused. What ramification(s) could result from misusing the visual display in your model?

Graphical Displays of Data

According to Heiberger & Holland (2015), graphical displays help understand what a specific set of data says about the people in a study. An ideal bar graph includes labeling every data category on either the vertical or horizontal axis and the relative frequency or frequency of the class on the other axis (McCrudden et al., 2015). Therefore, inaccurate labeling could mislead the individual interpreting the data. Sullivan (2017)

Graphical representation of data in data analysis is crucial because it enables IT professionals to make sense of vast amounts of data and reach insightful conclusions. In order to make data easier to interpret and evaluate, it is often necessary to present information in a graphical format (Peng et al., 2020). In the information technology sector, different types of graphs are frequently employed, including line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots.

When Parallel Lines are Intersected by a Transversal

Two lines can only be said to be parallel if they do not intersect each other or if, by running along, they meet at infinity. On the contrary, if a line intersects two lines at distinct points, that line is identified as a transversal. Therefore, the figure below indicates the four types of pairs of angles formed with equal measures as a result of the parallel lines intersected by a transversal line.

Question  The Commutative and Associative Properties Discuss various methods you might use to teach the commutative property and the associative property of addition. Explain how these properties are used in everyday life and why they are essential to understand.

The Commutative and Associative Properties

Commutative property refers to switching around numbers without changing the outcome. For example, it does not matter what order the numbers are in when adding two numbers together. The answer will be the same. The multiplication and addition properties are commutative (Billstein, Libeskind & Lott, 2013). The sum of two numbers is the same regardless of the order in which they are added. So, if a = b, then a + c = b + c. I would use the method to teach this to my students by having them use physical objects, such as linking cubes, to model the problem. As they build the models, I would have them verbalize what they are doing

Consider some of your very basic everyday activities that can be better understood by applying some concepts from this course and reasoning quantitatively.

Quantitative Reasoning

The three examples of concepts that I learned from the course include percentages, fractions, and volume. I can and sometimes apply these concepts in my daily life. Percentages apply to different aspects of an individual’s daily life, and I have even applied this concept throughout the course. For instance, I have used percentages in the course when checking for plagiarism in my assignments. The plagiarism report usually shows the similarity as a percentage (Sharma & Verma, 2019). A higher percentage means that my work has higher plagiarism, while a lower percentage means that my work is a little plagiarized or has negligible plagiarisms

Out of the concepts you have studied in this course, choose one that you feel would be particularly difficult for students to understand. Provide a concrete real-world situation or example to help illustrate this concept.

Rational Numbers and Proportional Reasoning in the Real World

Two of the concepts that I feel would be particularly difficult for students to understand are rational numbers and proportional reasoning. To help illustrate this concept, let’s consider a concrete example. Suppose you are looking at two different cars. Car A is $20,000, and Car B is $30,000. Now, let’s say you have $24,000 to spend. Which car should you buy? Car A is clearly the better option here because it is cheaper and within the budget. But let’s say you want Car B. In this case, the buyer could try to negotiate with the seller. The buyer could reason that since Car A is only $20,000, and they are willing to pay $24,000 for Car B, then perhaps the seller would be willing to sell Car B for $22,000.

In your own words, describe the procedure for solving a proportion. What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?

Ratios and Proportions

In Mathematics, a proportion is a statement of equality between two ratios. Balances can be solved using various methods, including cross-multiplication and setting up a balance using equivalent fractions (Billstein, Libeskind & Lott, 2013). Cross multiplication refers to multiplying the numerator of one bit by the denominator of the other and vice versa. Additionally, this can be done to create an equation that can be solved for a missing value. First, to set up a proportion using equivalent fractions, find two ratios that are equal to each other. Then, set up an equation using these ratios and solve for the missing value.

Application of Statistical Analyses-Pfizers Covid drug- Paxlovid

Constantino’s article titled “Pfizer’s Covid drug Paxlovid may reduce the risk of developing long Covid, study says” reports on a study that evaluates the effectiveness of Paxlovid in reducing the risk of Covid. The study was published in the distinguished peer-reviewed medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine, implying that the study’s findings are trustworthy (Constantino, 2023). The report indicates unequivocally that the study exclusively enrolled patients who were qualified for Paxlovid under emergency use authorization, which includes adults over the age of 50 or those with a medical condition. This information is critical for ensuring that the reader knows the study’s scope and limits. Do you need help with your assignment ?

Consider when businesses might use confidence intervals to estimate values, such as in sales projections, marketing results, and so forth. Describe a business decision that could be helped with confidence intervals. Be specific! Then create a problem with numbers from which another student could calculate a confidence interval and make a decision Confidence Intervals in Business Confidence Intervals in Business References: 1. Black, K. (2019). Business Statistics: For Contemporary Decision Making. In Google Books (10th ed.). John Wiley & Sons.

Confidence Intervals in Business

Confidence intervals are a useful business tool for estimating the range of values around a sample statistic, such as a mean or proportion, within a given level of confidence. Businesses, for example, frequently use confidence intervals to forecast sales projections, marketing results, and customer satisfaction rates (Black, 2020). Setting pricing strategies is one specific business decision that could benefit from confidence intervals. Suppose a company is considering raising the price of a product or service. The company can estimate the potential impact of the price increase on sales revenue using a confidence interval (Cheah et al., 2020). The business can determine a range of possible outcomes with a certain level of confidence by calculating the confidence interval, which can help them make a more informed decision

Part 2 Reflection:

Solving mathematical problems using diverse styles is vital. This will help learners better understand mathematical concepts and improve students’ problem-solving skills. Most importantly, having two styles ensures students solve problems more efficiently and correctly. Sobecki et al. (2018) note that teaching learners diverse styles enables them to learn different strategies for solving problems. As a result, the learners will decide or choose the best style that meets their level or resonates with them. Teaching math using different styles helps learners become more flexible and creative mathematicians who can always use and find diverse problem-solving methods.

Expanding into Global Markets- Strategies and Market Trends Analysis

Expanding into Global Markets- Strategies and Market Trends Analysis

You work for Mercer Human Resources. The Mercer Human Resource Consulting website lists prices of certain items in selected cities around the world. They also report an overall cost-of-living index for each city compared to the costs of hundreds of items in New York City (NYC). For example, London at 88.33 is 11.67% less expensive than NYC.

More specifically, if you choose to explore the website further you will find a lot of fun and interesting data. You can explore the website more on your own after the course concludes.

https://mobilityexchange.mercer.com/Insights/ cost-of-living-rankings#rankings
Assignment Guidance:

In the Excel document, you will find the 2018 data for 17 cities in the data set Cost of Living. Included are the 2018 cost of living index, the cost of a 3-bedroom apartment (per month), the price of a monthly transportation pass, price of a mid-range bottle of wine, the price of a loaf of bread (1 lb.), the price of a gallon of milk and price for a 12 oz. cup of black coffee. All prices are in U.S. dollars.

You use this information to run a Multiple Linear Regression to predict Cost of living, along with calculating various descriptive statistics. This is given in the Excel output (that is, the MLR has already been calculated. Your task is to interpret the data).

Based on this information, in which city should you open a second office? You must justify your answer. If you want to recommend 2 or 3 different cities and rank them based on the data and your findings, this is fine as well.
Deliverable Requirements:

This should be ¾ to 1 page, no more than 1 single-spaced page in length, using 12-point Times New Roman font. You do not need to do any calculations, but you do need to pick a city to open a second location at and justify your answer based upon the provided results of the Multiple Linear Regression.

The format of this assignment will be an Executive Summary. Think of this assignment as the first page of a much longer report, known as an Executive Summary, that essentially summarizes your findings briefly and at a high level. This needs to be written up neatly and professionally. This would be something you would present at a board meeting in a corporate environment. If you are unsure of an Executive Summary, this resource can help with an overview. What is an Executive Summary?
Things to Consider:

To help you make this decision here are some things to consider:

Based on the MLR output, what variable(s) is/are significant?
From the significant predictors, review the mean, median, min, max, Q1, and Q3 values.
It might be a good idea to compare these values to what the New York value is for that variable. Remember, New York is the baseline, as that is where headquarters are located.
Based on the descriptive statistics, for the significant predictors, what city has the best potential?
What city or cities fall below the median?
What city or cities are in the upper 3rd quartile?

In some workplaces, the longer someone has been working within an organization, the better the pay is. Although seniority provides a way to reward long-serving employees, critics argue that it hinders recruitment. Jane, the CPO, wants to know if XYZ has a seniority pay system. Analyzing the Relationship Between Tenure and Workplace Performance- A Case Study Using CV Data Analyzing the Relationship Between Tenure and Workplace Performance- A Case Study Using CV Data Question: Based on the salary and age data in the spreadsheet, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, the p-value and the critical value of r using alpha = 0.05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between age and salary. Scena

Analyzing the Relationship Between Tenure and Workplace Performance- A Case Study Using CV Data

To determine whether there is a significant linear correlation between age and salary at XYZ Company, we have the calculated value of the linear correlation coefficient (r) as 0.518. For a significance level of α = 0.05, the critical value of r can be found in the provided CV of the r spreadsheet. We look for the critical value that corresponds to r = 0.518, which also has a sample size (n) of 28. The critical value of r for α = 0.05 and n = 28 is approximately 0.361. Next, we need to find the p-value corresponding to the calculated value of r. The p-value represents the probability of observing a correlation coefficient as extreme as the calculated value under the assumption of no correlation (null hypothesis).

To test the hypothesis that there is no linear correlation between age and salary, we set up the null and alternative hypotheses as follows:

Null Hypothesis (H0): No linear correlation exists between age and salary (r = 0).

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): A linear correlation exists between age and salary (r ≠ 0).

Since the sample size is relatively small (n = 28), we will use a t-distribution to find the p-value. The formula for the t-statistic in this case is:

t = r * sqrt((n – 2) / (1 – r^2))

t = 0.518 * sqrt((28 – 2) / (1 – 0.518^2))

t ≈ 5.286

Using the t-table for a two-tailed test, we find that the p-value corresponding to t ≈ 5.286 is significantly less than 0.001 (p < 0.001). Since the p-value is less than the significance level, α = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between age and salary at XYZ Company. The positive value of r = 0.518 suggests a moderate positive linear relationship between age and salary. Therefore, as the employees’ age increases, their salary tends to increase as well.

Analyzing the Relationship Between Tenure and Workplace Performance- A Case Study Using CV Data

To determine whether there is a significant linear correlation between age and salary at XYZ Company, we have the calculated value of the linear correlation coefficient (r) as 0.518. For a significance level of α = 0.05, the critical value of r can be found in the provided CV of the r spreadsheet.

Conclusion How does the test decision relate to the hypothesis, and are your conclusions statistically significant? The analysis aimed to test whether the salesperson’s average cost per house is above the region’s average in order to validate or refute the claim in the research. The analysis indicates the p-value, which is the test statistic, is less than the level of significance selected for the analysis (p=0.05). Since the decision rule was an upper-tail, we accept the null hypothesis and conclude that the salesperson’s average cost per square foot price is equal to the Pacific region average. This implies that the average cost per square foot of his home sales is not $275, as the advertisement claims. Therefore, it is recommended to review the model used to arrive at the value of $275 and correct the biasedness before publishing the advertisement. References Salkind, N. (2015).

Exploring the World of Numbers

Exploring the world of numbers is one of the topics that interested me regarding liberal math. Notably, this came to be after watching a video on computers and binary codes. Comprehending the world of numbers, particularly regarding computers and binary codes, is intriguing. While the concept of 1 + 1 = 2 may appear simple, exploring the complexities of binary coding unveils the fundamentals of digital computing. Computers process information using binary code composed of ones and zeros (Logue et al., 2019). It serves as a reminder of how straightforward many sophisticated technology systems are. Whether in computers or mathematics, the tale of numbers relates to the underlying ideas that shape the digital world. This voyage reveals the grace and accuracy inherent in the language of numbers, providing a greater understanding of the technical wonders we come across daily.

Have you ever wondered about the likelihood of an event occurring? Whether it’s the odds of your favorite football team winning on Sunday or how much you pay for car insurance, probability concepts can play a role in making those determinations. Respond to the following questions in a minimum of 175 words: Consider a situation in which you might need to use your understanding of probability to make an informed decision. What sorts of information would you collect? How might you use what you have learned about probability to determine a course of action? What are the possible benefits and limitations of this approach?

Discussion on Probability

Probability tells us about the likelihood of an event occurring by considering factors related to the event. Mathematically, the probability of an event occurring ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating that the event is unlikely to happen while 1 indicates that the event is certain to happen (Levine, 2014). Probability can be applied in several instances to aid in making critical decisions. For instance, the probability of an increase in the prices of commodities can be used to make critical decisions about spending and business strategies. In such a probability sample, the possibility of prices of commodities increasing is 1 or 0, which implies that either the prices can increase (1) or remain the same (0).

To determine the most probable outcome, the researcher needs to collect information relating to the factors that affect the prices of commodities in a country, such as fuel prices, climatic conditions, domestic factors, and other factors that determine prices. The information obtained can be used to make critical decisions on spending and for business people on the most appropriate strategies to ensure profitability for their businesses. In case the probability of the prices of commodities increasing is high, a business person can resolve to reduce credit sales to avoid a shortage in income. The business person can also resolve to purchase in bulk and stock before an increase in prices. The approach has benefits since it acts as a basis for decision-making. After assessing the factors that lead to the most probable outcome, one can take the appropriate action. One limitation associated with probability for decision-making is that the seemingly unlikely event can also happen (Indeed, 2021). This makes it unreliable in some instances, especially when the causative agents can be assessed accurately.

D. M. Pan National Real Estate Company’s Housing Price Prediction Model

The analysis of the model demonstrated that the relationship between the variables is positive, as the trendline is ascending. This implies that that higher the square footage of the house, the higher the listing price. The effect of the square footage of the house is strong, as the line was steep with almost 45 degrees angle. Even though the model had some outliers, it is best to keep them, as they capture important information for the larger-than-usual houses. Peason’s correlation coefficient (Pearson’s r) was 0.9, which confirms that the correlation between the variables was very strong.

The Line of Best Fit

Regression analysis demonstrated that the listing price could be predicted using the following equasion:

Formula

Where y is the listing price, and x is the square footage of a house.

The regression model demonstrates that an increase in the area of the house by one square foot increases the listing price by $132.58. The listing price also appears to have a constant of $58,059 which is added to the variable part of the listing price. The coefficient of determination was R2 = 0.805, which means that the 80.5% of changes in the listing price can be explained by the changes in the square footage of the house.

My house is 1,950 square feet. Thus, considering the regression equation the listing price should be:

Read More
Questions for further inquiry: What other factors contribute to the price change in a house? Does the square footage predict the price differently depending on the location? What could be a good independent variable to determine the possible listing price of different plots of land?

In conclusion, the linear regression equation Y = 79.11x +166649 is a model that will allow you to predict a house’s potential listing price based on its size in square feet. Although there are other factors that contribute to the price of the listing, the correlation is so strong that the use of this model makes sense. The results of this analysis met my expectations. If you are interested in developing a model to make better predictions, it would be helpful to use a larger set of data. Developing models for specific areas that are interested in making predictions is also an innovative idea. A regression model would be best suited for a less variability data set. For example, in the analysis I made of a single region earlier, r and r2 were much closer to 1. This means that more price variability could be predicted by size

Cryptographic Hash Function Reflection

Definition of Cryptographic Hash Functions

Cryptographic Hash Function (CHF) is an equation or algorithm that maps a particular data set into a hash value (Wang et al., 2017). It can simply be defined as a mathematical function that derives a special string of texts from any form of arbitrary data. The hash value, in this case, refers to the produced enciphered text and is mostly of fixed size. Such converted plaintexts are usually fitted into complex data structures or tables that literary holds fixed-size elements. The generated structures/tables are termed the hash tables and are deemed to be secure. CHF tends to be mistaken for encryption, but the main difference is that it is a one-way function, unlike the latter, which can be deciphered using a unique key. There are several hash functions, including secure hashing algorithm 1 and secure hashing algorithm 256.

The Problems

The development of solutions for computer science problems is limited by several challenges with different impacts. Programmers work in the best interest of a project and look forward to ascertaining all components work as intended. However, errors may end up inhibiting the project, leading to the need to debug. This is a momentous crisis, and its outcomes are profoundly felt when there are excess bugs. For instance, some buttons might fail to work, missing commands, and other functional errors. Debugging frustrates new developers and delays the project; hence, it is considered a significant problem (Coker et al., 2019).

Fake news, also considered disinformation, spreads faster in society today because of the presence of the internet and social bots. This phenomenon is responsible for the rise in cases of people committing suicide over false allegations made about them, consumers refusing to purchase products from a legitimate company, and political unrest in countries. For instance, in 2016, the United States ‘ population was nearly influenced not to elect their former president because of the fake news spread about Russia’s intervention in their election processes.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Building a Database Application Using a Relational Database vs. Using a Sprea

DTL Power Cyber Sector Risk Profile

In the risk profile report, the primary targets for cybercriminals are Australia’s DTL power and the United States federal government. DTL specializes in electricity generation and making various industrial dampers whose application in the power generation companies is vast. In contrast, the U.S. federal government is an essential entity that ensures the proper running of socioeconomic and political aspects of the United States. Collapsing DTL Power services has severe implications for businesses and critical systems that rely on electricity to run while targeting the federal government, which risks the release of valuable and highly sensitive information to the US’s enemies or the encryption of important data for ransom. Therefore, cybersecurity personnel must create stringent policies and implement them to protect against illegal access and tampering with user information. Various governments have created such policies globally to prevent specific cyber events such as hacking and fraud, the collapse of business service provision contributing to massive financial losses, and the creation of mitigation policies that aim at business continuity. Cybersecurity policies advocate for the appropriate and professional behavior of information technologists, a critical component of cybersecurity. Assessment of DTL power’s vulnerabilities gives insight into the design of holistic profiles for computing systems and protects them from cyber threats. This report will, in the subsequent sections, detail possible cyber risks and discuss appropriate defense strategies.

Create a minimum 2-page training module for junior network engineers that contains step-by-step instructions on installing and configuring Syslog, NTP, and NAT. The paper should include both details and screenshots that serve as examples of what the junior network engineer will be seeing as they perform the training module. All writing should conform to current APA formatting rules with double spacing, indents to paragraphs, and references.

Training Module – Network Configuration

The correct setup of a network should allow for the communication of all network activities within the network for analysis by the network administrator. Setting up Syslog, which is a protocol for the collection and recording of all system actions, is important. This log can be made even more efficient if all the computers on the network have the same exact time allowing logs to carry a timestamp. This can be achieved through setting up a network time protocol (NTP). A network address portal (NAT) is also essential for the communication of computers on the internal network to the Internet using only one address (Angelo, 2019).

Subject: Customer Relationship Management

Customer relationship management is a model or strategy that deals with customer satisfaction and retention. One of the ways to modify the CRM for the better is to reward loyalty. Rewarding loyalty will increase customer retention as customers will look forward to receiving rewards for their loyalty. For the customer relationship management model to be moved to mobile platforms, the model must be mobile-friendly to increase readability. To increase modularity, the CRM can be divided into different partitions, which can be accessed and edited separately with a table of contents for easy access to all the pages of the CRM. The use of an attractive color scheme and attractive font makes the customer relationship management model more attractive to the eye and increases its readability (Juanamasta et al., 2019)

There are six steps to the project, and the project as a whole should take about two weeks to complete. Begin with the workplace scenario and then continue to Step 1

Step 1: Develop Functional Requirements for Videoconferencing

The first step in your proposal for a secure videoconferencing system is to develop a set of functional requirements for videoconferencing that you believe the media company will need based on its geographic dispersion and business needs.

In developing those requirements, research three videoconferencing solutions such as Skype, GotoMeeting, Polycom, and Cisco Webex and explain their capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages. Identify costs as well as implementation and support requirements.

The functional requirements and the three possible solutions will be a section of your Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing. In the next step, you will review the challenges of implementing those solutions.

Step 2: Discuss Implementation Challenges

In the previous step, you outlined the requirements for secure videoconferencing for the company and outlined three potential solutions. Part of your final proposal should also include the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation options for the three systems you selected. This section of the proposal also must include the changes the media company will need to make to implement the systems.

Additionally, explain how system administration or privileged identity management will operate with these systems. You will also need to examine how data exfiltration will occur with each of the new systems.

The changes to the systems and challenges for the implementation of these potential solutions will be an important section of your Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing. In the next step, you will take a closer look at the track records of each of the potential videoconferencing vendors.

Step 3: Identify Vendor Risks

You’ve finished outlining the pros and cons of three videoconferencing systems. Now, it’s time to take a close look at how they serve their clients. This will take some research. Look at the systems’ known vulnerabilities and exploits. Examine and explain the past history of each vendor with normal notification timelines, release of patches, or work-arounds (solutions within the system without using a patch). Your goal is to know the timeliness of response with each company in helping customers stay secure.

Analyzing Operating Systems and Small Office/Home Office Networks Part 1: Service and Infrastructure Discovery SOHO networks

Small Office Home Office (SOHO) networks and other networks contain various network nodes that make them mixed networks. For example, SOHO networks could contain printers, smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, PCs, laptops, routers, VoIP phones, switches, routers, and DHCP servers (Kavalaris & Serrelis, 2015). Larger office networks could contain more devices, including IP cameras, biometric devices, and network storage devices. Though all those network devices are found in a single network, they could be running on different operating systems. For example, tablets could be running on Windows 8, laptops on MAC OS, PCs on Linux, smartphones on iOS, and routers on Linux.

Part 1: Wireless Networks Section 1: Wireless Survey Using your favorite search engine, find a minimum of 4 resources that explain how a wireless survey should be conducted where APs can be placed in the right place with maximum connection stability and performance being the primary directive. Then, indicate how you would delegate, to some junior network engineers, and how to go about deploying these APs in a building where many users and devices will connect wirelessly. The paper must be a minimum of 3 pages.

Wireless Networks – Wireless Survey

Wireless networks are a group of interconnected devices that are not physically linked to each other but rather use a wireless link. These devices can then be connected to the internet through a router or modem. Wireless networks are difficult to manage as many items can change the effective range and strength of a wireless network. For instance, the placement of a metal object in front of any wireless transmitter can greatly affect the effectiveness of a wireless network. In order to gain the most out of wireless networks, technicians conduct wireless surveys. Radiofrequency, or wireless survey as it is commonly referred to, is the process of preparing or planning for the placement of wireless equipment in order to make the most of the resources while ensuring all the required locations are covered by the WIFI.

Mobile applications have become commonplace in the modern world due to their ease of use and convenience. Some of the main features of the mobile expense tracker app include security, simplicity, flexibility, user feedback and updates. Security is an important feature since the expense tracker will contain personal information such as banking details, user name and address. It is thus important to keep this information away from malicious users as it can be used to defraud the mobile app user of his or her finances as well as other assets. The flexibility or adaptability of a mobile application refers to the ability of the mobile application to function well under all mobile operating systems, such as Android, IOS, and Windows (Jacob, 2019). Flexibility allows the user to use the application despite the operating system they have on their mobile phone, allowing for a larger number of users. User feedback allows the application developer to understand the user’s point of view as well as the features they would want to be added or removed from the application. User feedback can be given from a textbox which will be accessed by clicking on the feedback link on the mobile application user interface. Updates allow the mobile application to be modified and improved upon after receiving user feedback. Updates allow the mobile application to get better with time instead of maintaining the status quo or becoming outdated. Simplicity as a mobile feature allows the user to perform the required actions with little effort and strain. Simple application design keeps the user from getting frustrated and losing attention before completing the task at hand. Simplicity in the design of the mobile application also makes the development of the application easier (Martinez et al., 2020).

The internet is an interconnection of many small networks. This interconnection forms an extensive interconnection that requires several network devices configured for different purposes (Greenstein, 2020). One of the network devices used in the interconnection is a router. Routers are layer three devices used to forward packets from one network to another (Greenstein, 2020). Therefore, a router would be required for two or more networks to communicate. A router is placed at the gateway of each internal network. For security purposes, routers are configured with access control lists to ensure that only authorized packets can flow in and out of a network (Greenstein, 2020).

  1. Business Continuity Plan – Needs and Systems for Recovery after a Cyberattack Event 

    Introduction

    Ransomware attacks on the nation’s summit systems lead to a loss of system and data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The Reveton ransomware denied summit attendees access to conference data, and the computer screens displayed a message indicating a system hack that outputs a message mimicking federal law enforcement authority. Notably, ransomware attacks evolve quickly, and there is no particular framework for combatting new attacks. If a system is hacked, one primarily has two options: pay the ransom or attempt system recovery by rolling back to a previous backup point. Hackers cannot be trusted to release system resources once the ransom is paid. With this in mind, the system’s protection will rely heavily on historical data copies and a wide array of protection mechanisms, as detailed below.

Standing Operating Procedures – Trojan Horse

Malware’s Details

  • Trojan horse is a deceptive code that misleads users of its actual intent.
  • The malicious code typically appears to come from a trusted source.
  • Its initial presence as a legitimate software was a strategic way of gaining access to the target system.
  • The software ultimately seeks to take control of the computer, and the first version of its kind was established in 1975.
  • It is usually designed to steal, disrupt, damage, or initiate other harmful actions on the network, system, or data (Easttom, 2019). Our assignment writing help is at affordable prices to students of all academic levels and disciplines.

Big Data

Big data is large data that cannot be handled or processed using the traditional techniques of managing data. Some of the traditional techniques include relational databases such as SQL and Oracle (Sharma, 2020). Large data, which is big data, consists of data such as that shared on the internet daily. For example, the data shared daily on applications including Facebook, AliExpress.com, and Amazon.com is humongous (Sharma, 2020). According to Cielen et al. (2016), big data characteristics include volume, variety, velocity, and veracity. Volume describes the amount of data to be managed. Variety describes different data and their diversity. Velocity describes the speed at which new data is generated.  Veracity describes data accuracy. Storage, analysis, and reporting are big data challenges that should be dealt with to enhance data management (Sharma, 2020).

Security Breaches at Sony Interactive Entertainment

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is wrestling a security breach that has exposed thousands of present and former employees’ personal information. This has prompted concerns about how difficult it is to integrate technological solutions into non-technical business frameworks and how effective SIE’s security is. In this paper, the details of the breaches are examined, along with ethical considerations and insights.

Failure of Security Measures

The breach occurred in May 2023 when the Cl0p ransomware group exploited a flaw in the MOVEit Transfer platform, which SIE used to transfer files (Shakir, 2023). Progress Software alerted its customers to this vulnerability on May 31st, but SIE learned about it on May 28th. A hacker gained access to the server and damaged PII for thousands of American employees. The September 2023 breach followed a similar pattern of exploiting vulnerabilities with an internal testing server in Japan used by Sony’s Entertainment, Technology, and Services business as the target. In addition, they leaked files that contained data from different platforms, thus showing more weaknesses in SIE’s security infrastructure.

Cryptography – Encryption

Encryption, a technique in cryptography, enables the scrambling of human-readable data into ciphertext, which comprises random characters that cannot be comprehended plainly. The possession of the right decryption key is fundamental to restoring the random symbols to human-understandable data. In an era of technological revolution, this technique possesses an array of benefits. Firstly, encryption protects the privacy of sensitive information. Cybercriminals are on the loose and target a variety of personal data, thereby posing a privacy threat to online details such as emails, tax return details and even personal photos.

Part 2 – Reflection The Internet’s Role in Cyberwarfare Affecting Corporate Privacy

The Internet is a dangerous place as it has turned into a battlefield where companies have to fight to protect their data from attackers. When it was first created, the Internet was meant to be a way for people to share information and communicate with each other. In recent times, it has become an incredibly complex digital landscape used by nation-states, criminal organizations, and hacktivists to engage in cyber espionage and warfare (Freet & Agrawal, 2017). Unfortunately, every company holds valuable assets and customer data, which makes them a valuable target for these hackers. One of the most common tactics attackers use is Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). These threats can last weeks or even months without detection.

How will a tracking system help in correcting reports’ inconsistencies and errors in the Swift Services Company’s system?

2.4 Related Works

In 2019, the Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) company was advised to implement a real-time tracking system (M’handa et al., 2019). This would replace its periodically updated tracking system. RoRo was experiencing problems similar to those that are currently being experienced by Swift Services Company. The two companies used staff to manually update the tracking system. However, RoRo transports cargo on the sea while Swift Services does not (M’handa et al., 2019). Real-time tracking would improve efficiency at RoRo because, previously, cargo details would only be updated at the port. This made it difficult to estimate cargo traffic and offloading, especially when ships arrived simultaneously. But with real-time tracking, the staff at the port would identify in advance the ship that would arrive first and its contents (M’handa et al., 2019). Making the process of offloading efficient.

Navigating Ethical Challenges in Modern Nursing Practice- Current Issues and Solutions

Introduction

Healthcare professionals can obtain informed consent through different methods. It is, however, essential to be aware of the practical realities associated with informed consent to improve legal and ethical standards. Informed consent preserves and maintains respect for participants’ dignity and autonomy and protects research subjects from potential harm and risks (Moeini et al., 2019). There are, however, persistent debates on how informed consent should be obtained and whether it is necessary. The failure to agree on this results in ethical tension. Nurses must thus be aware of the importance of informed consent in the healthcare delivery industry. They must be committed to adhering to their Codes of Ethics, which prescribes the importance of patient autonomy in providing quality healthcare services.

A 28-year-old male presents with opioid dependency. He is not in treatment at the present time and is exhibiting severe withdrawal symptoms. Case Study- Nervous System and Opioid Dependency Case Study- Nervous System and Opioid Dependency Compare and contrast the efferent and afferent nerve pathways. What is nociception? What is somatogenic pain? What is hyperalgesia? How does Naloxone work?

 

Afferent and efferent neurons are part of the signal transduction pathway in the nervous system that coordinates functions in the human body. Both neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (Yam et al., 2018). Efferent neurons are motor, while afferent neurons are sensory. The main difference between these two neurons is that afferent neurons transmit sensory signals from sensory organs such as the nose and eye toward the brain. In contrast, efferent neurons transmit motor signals from the brain to the PNS (Yam et al., 2018).

Comparing Concepts In Nursing Theories

Florence Nightingale and Jean Watson developed nursing theories to guide nursing practice. Patient care is a broad concept with many aspects, but these two theories also discuss patient care from similar angles. Nightingale’s environmental theory focuses on the role of the environment on the patient’s health status (Gilbert, 2020). On the other hand, Watson’s theory of caring focuses on the effects of the transpersonal relationship between the patient and the nurse on healthcare outcomes (Pajnkihar et al., 2017).

The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods differ, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in the research study to increase validity and reliability. What are your advantages or disadvantages in using both methods in a nursing study? Support your answer with current evidence-based literature.

Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Nursing Study

Practice in the nursing profession needs to be based on scientific evidence. Accordingly, the development of evidence-based practice requires nursing professionals to critique research in nursing or engage in research. The majority of studies in nursing have been conducted using quantitative and qualitative research paradigms separately. However, it is arguable that the use of both theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods in nursing research may improve the validity and reliability of the research findings. Due to the differences in the research methods, it is important to identify the advantages of mixing both research methods.

Generally, quantitative research aims to identify the causal and correlational relationships between dependent and independent variables by testing hypotheses (Grove & Gray, 2019). On the other hand, the qualitative research approach explores a phenomenon using interviews and stakeholder participation to contextualize the phenomenon in the real world. A mixed-methods study in nursing research utilizes both the quantitative and qualitative approaches. Although the mixed methods approach may be considered complex due to the resources allocated and its procedures, it has various advantages that go beyond the independent research methods.

Mixing the qualitative and quantitative research methods means the collection of qualitative and quantitative data concurrently (Younas et al., 2019). Data is also analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, thus making it easy to explain quantitative data qualitatively. Using a mixed-methods approach in nursing studies allows multidisciplinary researchers to interact, share, and explore findings as a team, promoting diverse scholarly and practical views of the nursing profession (Grove & Gray, 2019). Therefore, mixed methods research in nursing studies explains the causal relationships between various factors in healthcare and behavioral patterns in healthcare based on lived experiences. It also helps develop new theoretical and practical nursing practices and compare and design new interventions.

Interview Transcript- Advocating for the Nursing Role in Program Design and Implementation

Tell us about a healthcare program within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?

Vaccinate a child!

Vaccination of children at the infant stages is important in ensuring their immunity is strengthened. The Vaccinate a Child program is intended to improve the rates of children’s vaccine uptake through various ages. The current routine vaccinations for children have been negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. These effects are not only visible in the USA but also around the world. Furthermore, various populations exhibited low vaccination coverage, such as people of colour (WHO, 2021). The vaccination rates for 2019 and 2020 were particularly low for black children aged 7 and 18 months in comparison to the other races. The hesitancy and reluctance among at least 25 per cent of black caregivers to seek vaccination for their children were established as the main reasons for the low rates (DeSilva, Haapala, & Vazquez-Benitez, 2021). Therefore, this program is intended to educate the varied populations and ensure that the vaccination rates are restored or improved. The expected outcomes include.

High rates of vaccination among children in comparison to 2019 and 2020

Reduced hesitation among caregivers

Increased knowledge about vaccinations

Reduced incidences as the vaccine uptake increases

The program is expected to consume significant human and financial resources during its existence. The program will run for at least six months, and it will cost at least $30,000.

What is your target population?

The program is intended to reach out to all patient populations. This is because caregivers of children are aged differently, have varied genders, and come from different races. However, the main beneficiaries are children within the vaccination age range. The program will target children and caregivers in Colorado, where the facility is located.

Fecal Transplants- Mechanisms Benefits and Potential Impacts on Health Issues Fecal Transplants

A fecal transplant involves transplanting fecal matter from a healthy human donor to the recipient’s body to help grow healthful bacteria that can treat some conditions (Choi & Cho, 2016). The human gut has multiple bacteria, and when there is an imbalance in these bacteria, an individual can develop intestinal problems and diarrhea. The antibiotics used to treat gut infections can also kill helpful bacteria. Before the procedure starts, a physician will screen the donors to ensure the fecal matter has no diseases (Choi & Cho, 2016).

The Impact of Pregnancy on the Cardiovascular System- Physiological Changes and Their Benefits

Significant alterations happen in the mother’s immune system during gestation to protect her and the fetus from infections while preventing negative immune activity against the growing fetus. Studies have shown increased complement system activity (Abu-Raya et al., 2020). Increased levels of complement proteins indicate an increased level of complement activity. Basophils and eosinophils are not affected during pregnancy. However, there is increased eosinophil degranulation and increased mast cell degranulation (Abu-Raya et al., 2020).

Understanding Research Design- Contrasting Experimental and Nonexperimental Approaches

The distinguishing feature between experimental and non-experimental research design lies in the ability to manipulate variables. In experimental research, the independent variable can be manipulated to determine a cause-and-effect relationship (Siedlecki, 2020). In contrast, in non-experimental research, the independent variables are not manipulated. This type of research design utilizes observational and interpretive skills to provide a description or correlation. Non-experimental research designs do not provide a causality effect.

Exploring the Effects of Fluid Imbalances, Anemia Types, Insulin-Potassium Relationships, and Autoimmune Disorders Hello Dr. Garrett

To answer the first question on the impact on cells with hypo/hypertonic fluids, hypertonic fluids are those that have a greater concentration of solitudes than the inside of blood cells and, therefore, cause them to shrivel. The phenomena, explained in simpler terms, means that water from inside the cells gets lost at a higher rate than when the cells absorb water.

Your choice should be based on evaluating the relevant data you have gathered for your chosen issue. Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan Master’s-level nurses need to be able to think beyond the bedside. It is important to be able to research, synthesize, and apply evidence that will result in improved health outcomes for the communities and populations that are part of your care setting. Improving outcomes at a community or population level, even incrementally, can create noticeable and significant aggregate health improvements across all of a care setting’s patients. Scenario Your organization has created an initiative to improve one of the pervasive and chronic health concerns in the community. Some exam

Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan

The Population Health Improvement Plan (PHII) incorporates all healthcare stakeholders to implement evidence-based strategies to improve population health. The Institute of Healthcare Improvement developed the Triple Aim Framework to improve patient experience, reduce healthcare costs and improve population health (Obucina et al., 2018). This framework can be applied in the implementation of population health improvement initiatives. Different populations have different healthcare needs. It is thus critical for healthcare professionals such as nurses to implement evidence-based strategies that consider the unique needs of the population of interest.

A 30-year-old male presents with acute trauma. The final diagnosis is DIC. Discuss the clotting mechanism. Understanding Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)0- Clotting Mechanisms, Diagnostic Indicators, and Associated Conditions Understanding Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)- Clotting Mechanisms, Diagnostic Indicators, and Associated Conditions What do prolonged PT and aPTT tests indicate? Fibrin degradation and split products are common in DIC patients. Why? Identify two additional conditions that can initiate DIC and how.

Clotting Mechanism

The clotting process has four mechanisms. Vasoconstriction is the first response after vessel injury and is mediated by Endothelin-1 (Garmo et al., 2021). The second step is platelet adhesion, consisting of the adhesion of platelets to the exposed subendothelial collagen (Garmo et al., 2021). Consistently, the third stage is platelet activation, characterized by an irreversible change in the shape of platelets and secretion of cytoplasmic granules. Finally, platelet activation is the last step. This is mediated through proteolytic cleavage by thrombin (Garmo et al., 2021). The following stages involve activating clotting factors, converting prothrombin to thrombin, and converting fibrinogen to fibrin, stabilizing the clot (Garmo et al., 2021).

Purpose of Assignment: Nurses encounter ethical issues in their daily practice and must be able to apply ethical considerations to scenarios and their ethics. Critique Ethical Issues in Current Nursing Practice Critique Ethical Issues in Current Nursing Practice Course Competency: Critique ethical issues in current nursing practice. Scenario: You are the nurse manager of a minor, four-bed emergency department. Your department received seven patients involved in a mass casualty shooting at a local grocery store two days ago. A brief overview of each client is provided below.

Critique Ethical Issues in Current Nursing Practice

Ethical values remain an essential component of nursing practice. Nursing ethics defines provisions that guide nurses in their practice and enable them to navigate the complexities that present within the healthcare setting. Ethical considerations in nursing practice enable the recognition of healthcare dilemmas that present within the practice and inform the appropriate clinical judgment that enhances care outcomes (Milliken & Grace, 2016). This paper seeks to discuss ethical issues that are present during routine patient handling, drawing findings from the presented case scenarios. The case presented depicted a 4-bed emergency department receiving seven patients involved in a mass shooting at a local grocery store.

Organ donation is one of the significant medical advancements that save lives. It is defined as the surgical removal of tissues or organs from one individual to another (Abouna, 2003). The source of the organs is known as the donor, while the other is the recipient. The medical process of transplanting is a necessity today due to the failure of organs because of disease or injury. Physicians have recorded successful transplantations of donated organs, which include the heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, liver, and uterus. Tissues that have been transplanted successfully include bones, skin, veins, nerves, and tendons (Deshmukh & Baheti, 2020). The most commonly donated organs include the kidneys, heart, and liver. Organ donors can be dead or alive.

Should the Legalization of Assisted Suicide Continue in the US

Research at least ten sources and compose a paper focusing on a specific aspect of a particular issue. Considering a research paper is also thesis-driven and supported by reliable sources, think of this paper as entering a conversation from a well-informed standpoint.

 General guidelines:

From your topic below, It is best to avoid moral aspects of the topic since they do not support logical discussion.

Perform effective and thorough research. Make sure to perform a significant amount of exploration before fully committing to a topic. This is important because you need to make sure there are enough credible sources to support your essay (Refer to RFW 50 and 52).

Analyze the topic by breaking it down into pieces to inspect and understand it. Also, as an academic, you do research to become particularly knowledgeable on a topic so that you can reconstruct and present the parts of the topic from your own perspective.

Focus your research and answer the topic question presented. The answer to this question is the basis of your working thesis. Remember that the thesis may change slightly as you further investigate and compose your essay. The thesis is the driving point of your argument.

Provide necessary background information. Early in the essay, provide a brief overview of your topic for clarification of your argument. Consider that the reader knows little about your topic.

Focus on organization and transitions. While organization and transitions are important in any type of essay, they are particularly important in a research paper because they involve multiple reasons and evidence to support the overall thesis. The paper should explain and support several reasons why the argument is valid as well as explain and refute several opposing arguments.

Family Heritage and Its Impact on Individual Identity

Does family heritage influence an individual’s identity? There are many ways to look at this question, but it is correct that family heritage influences an individual’s identity; this statement is supported by the fact that the background and upbringing of an individual affect the character and behaviour of the individual. According to Ward, 244, the research carried out on adolescents illustrated that the adolescent’s family heritage influenced their individual identity. Subsequently, family heritage influences the identity of individuals despite their age. Therefore, family heritage influences an individual’s identity in relation to culture, language, and self-knowledge.

Life is Like a Roller Coaster

The ups and downs of this world have made this life a roller-coaster, especially for me.  While it is our wish to be mindful of the choices we make, it is always necessary to keep track of the coasters and pain we cause in our lives. Therefore it is one’s choice to choose whether to scream or enjoy life’s ride. Finding oneself in life may take a lot because you could move forward, trying not to look back, then you find yourself trying to look back, and so on, and such is life (Wiesenburg, 18).

While at it, various questions ring in one’s mind the likes of who one is, what you want to do, or even what you like. These are some of the questions that one hears, but only a few people can answer them. It could take varied times to do this or even years trying to figure out what you are up to. Sometimes, we get what we want in life from unexpected places or people.

It has taken me several years to figure out what I wanted to do and find my path, but I never knew all my plans and thoughts could change within no time. Every class I attend brings me closer to my degree, but my classes change along the way. That is clear when it is said that people learn and evolve daily as one has a fear of the unknown. The fear that I can make mistakes in this life makes us stronger. You should not pass any chances following the fact that you begin living in the future as you will lose some precious times you should have enjoyed in life. Always have faith and take all the opportunities that come your way since tomorrow is never known.

Throughout this course, you have read different styles of literature: fictional stories, poetry, and dramatic plays. What style of literature did you enjoy the most reading? Why? What advice would you give a new student entering English II online? 150 words

Different Styles of Literature – Poetry

It is my firm belief that poetry is the best literature style. It has a keen significance because it bolsters our understanding as well as the appreciation of the world that surrounds us. In this case, the strength of poetry is that it has the unique capability to cast a sideways beacon ray on the globe, and thereby, the truth creeps up on you. There is no doubt about it. It provides us with the knowledge of how we should live. It pries open human beings’ vulnerabilities to the extent that we can all have a relationship with each other more efficaciously.

Article Analysis – On Learned Helplessness and Gunman Kills Himself

Introduction

‘On Learned Helplessness’ by psychologist Seligman is an article addressing the phases through which people in trauma go through. This is the process that he calls learned helplessness, and he suggests ways to handle the situation. Seligman points out that the conditions in a traumatic person can elicit feelings of fear, depression, helplessness, and competence. This theory will be used to analyze the study material ‘Gunman Kills Himself After Hostage Drama’ written by Tim Waters and Charles Wallace. The occurrences in the article will be mirrored by the psychologist’s view on what trauma can drive one into, as will be illustrated in the essay.

Steroids continue to be a major problem. In fact, “Reported cases of steroid use by athletes skyrocketed last year by an incredible sixty percent.” (33).

In this third example, the problem is that the author’s name is missing in the citation. The author’s name is only emitted from the citation when several citations from the same author appear subsequently in a paragraph. In such a case, a writer can write both the author’s name and page number in the first citation but omit the author’s name and only cite the page in the subsequent citations until another author is cited. In this case, since there are no following statements, both the author’s name and page number have to be included in the citation. For example, Steroids continue to be a major problem. In fact, “Reported cases of steroid use by athletes skyrocketed last year by an incredible sixty percent.” (DeFord 33).

SIM1 CAPSTONE NR452 1. Key Priority Assessment Findings in Left-Sided Heart Failure and Comparison to Right-Sided Heart Failure

Left-Sided Heart Failure:

In left-sided heart failure, the left ventricle fails to pump blood effectively, leading to a backup of blood in the lungs. This causes pulmonary congestion and other related symptoms. Key priority assessment findings include:

  • Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath): Often worse with exertion or when lying flat (orthopnea), and may progress to paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (sudden shortness of breath during the night).
  • Pulmonary Crackles: Fine crackling sounds heard on auscultation, indicating fluid accumulation in the alveoli.
  • Cough: Often dry and persistent, but may produce frothy or blood-tinged sputum in severe cases.
  • Fatigue and Weakness: Resulting from reduced cardiac output and decreased oxygen supply to tissues.

RUA Ethical Dilemma Treating a Septic Newborn with Herbal Therapy RUA Ethical Dilemma: Treating a Septic Newborn with Herbal Therapy NR 328 Pediatric Nursing Chamberlain College of Nursing January 2019 


1. Introduction

Overview of Neonatal Sepsis

Neonatal sepsis is a critical medical condition characterized by a systemic response to infection within the bloodstream of an infant, typically within the first month of life. The condition is a severe and life-threatening syndrome rather than a specific disease, and it primarily arises due to the body’s inability to mount an adequate response to an invading pathogen. Most commonly, the infection is bacterial and can be transmitted during birth, in utero, or in postpartum care settings.

Given the vulnerability of a newborn’s immune system, early detection and rapid intervention are crucial to preventing the potentially fatal complications of neonatal sepsis. According to Schub (2018), the standard treatment for neonatal sepsis involves the immediate administration of antimicrobial therapy, along with supportive measures such as supplemental oxygen, intubation, mechanical ventilation, and intensive monitoring for complications. Failure to initiate timely and appropriate treatment can lead to dire outcomes, including pneumonia, meningitis, and death. Statistics highlight the severity of this condition, with sepsis claiming the lives of nearly one million newborns annually worldwide (Vogel, 2017).

During Infectious Disease Epidemics, What Factors Determine the Conformity of Healthcare Workers? Rapid Evidence Review

Executive summary

Following the emergence of a new coronavirus in 2019, concerns have been made about the potential of nosocomial transmission, which is defined as an illness that occurs in a hospital setting. A healthcare worker’s inability to follow the recommended personal protective precautions is one of the most major drivers of nosocomial transmission, as evidenced by previous epidemics of new infectious diseases. Using the most recent research on infectious disease outbreaks, we scoured the literature for indicators of healthcare workers’ adherence to social and behavioral infection prevention techniques. As a fast evidence assessment, the goal was to identify the social and behavioral infection control techniques that are most likely to be adhered to by healthcare professionals. A number of useful links were uncovered after reviewing the thirty papers, including the following: Those who worked in an emergency or intensive care unit were more likely to adhere to rules, and there was some evidence that communicating with confirmed cases boosted compliance

Introduction

The present paper examines the concept of equitable access to vaccines in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic with the critical examination of approaches to international collaboration as suggested by Eccleston-Turner and Upton (2020). The COVAX initiative that aims at facilitating the development of vaccines and ensuring their equitable distribution among countries will be critically evaluated from the perspective of their economic and institutional sustainability. The role of capitalism in affecting the risks of epidemics and pandemics as well as determining the general structure of international response in this sphere will be analysed in a complex manner (Adams, 2020). The close attention will also be paid to redefining the role and key functions performed by international organisations such as the World Health Organisation (Eccleston-Turne & Burci,

Research on the Potential Relationship Between Educational Inequality and Income Inequality in Developing Countries Under COVID-19

Two caveats, which were discussed in more detail earlier in this chapter (section on research methodology), were imposed in order to make sense of the findings: First and foremost, it should be noted that the results represent a more optimistic estimate than is likely to be true in the majority of developing countries outside of the case study jurisdictions. In other terms, the obstacles experienced by most nations in the countries analyzed when under lockdown are likely to be more onerous than the challenges mentioned here. Second, data should be triangulated to the greatest extent feasible to investigate the likelihood of socially acceptable replies (the ‘correct answer’) taking precedence over actual outcomes.

Impact of Learning Styles on Learning Performance during the Pandemic: Annotated Bibliography 

 

Albeta, S. W., Haryati, S., Futra, D., Aisyah, R., & Siregar, A. D. (2021). The Effect of Learning Style on Students’ Learning Performance During the Covid-19 Pandemic. JTK (Jurnal Tadris Kimiya)6(1), 115-123.

Using online forums for learning has significantly affected students’ performance since the mode of learning is vital in maximizing the accomplishment of students. The learning process comprises three main features; the input, which is what the teacher provides to students, the learning process, and finally, the results (116). The process is an essential element since it largely determines the outcome. The research discovered that learning performance was higher for students using auditory learning styles than visual learning styles (120).

Conclusion: Even though learning has affected outcomes in the majority of the schools, there are other factors to consider that are directly linked to learning outcomes other than the style of learning. The use of precise data and the representation of the findings on tables and graphs have shown how online learning has affected learning outcomes. However, the article does not clearly explain how other factors other than learning style have affected students’ learning outcomes.

Impact of COVID-19 on the United Kingdom Tourism Industry

Introduction

China was where the Covid-19 Pandemic started 2019 in December and is still spreading throughout the world. To stop the spread of Covid 19, almost every government globally, including the United Kingdom, has come up with restrictions that they have imposed on both short and long travels (Voulgaris, Ferrini-Strambi, & Steimpoulos). Because of this, they are many concerns that different individuals have raised in the tourism industry. As a result of the departments in the United Kingdom that are involved in 2018, the U.K. could produce 6.7% of the total gross value in the country through the tourism industry (Turner et al., 2018). From that point, there are serious threats that have been raised by the Covid-19 Pandemic to the tourism industry in the United Kingdom from 2020 to 2021. The lockdowns and restrictions in the United Kingdom have acted as a barrier to long travels in the United Kingdom. But when the covid-19 Pandemic got controlled, these travels and operations in these areas were eased as time passed. It started with the opening of retails that were taken as unnecessary on June 15 and the corridors involved in traveling, with no issue with the quarantine issues in July. Still, it has had a considerable impact on these tourism industries in the United Kingdom. Some industries have been omitted or combined for static areas.

The article explains how schools can overcome the barrier of isolation to bridge the gap created by their closure due to COVID-19. Educational systems should devise strategies for closing the increasing achievement gap once the epidemic is finished or under control and school is permitted to resume.

COVID-19 Has Led to a Global Recession, Millions of Lives Lost, and Social Changes

Introduction

Covid-19 has led to a global recession, millions of lives lost, social changes, and more. The pandemic has not only disrupted the lives of Americans but also created an economic and public health crisis. The pandemic has also had detrimental effects on various ethnic and racial groups. The inequalities in income, access to health care, education, housing, and discrimination expose some ethnic and racial groups to a higher risk of contracting and succumbing to COVID-19 (Smith & Fraser, 2020). There has been a paradigm change in U.S policy from isolation to containment and response measures by both Trump and Biden administrations.

The Silver Lining of the Pandemic Cloud and Why It Matters

 

The present pandemic has predisposed a severe threat to the globe’s health and economy. Millions of individuals have already died due to this virus, and millions more are still sick. As per the World Health Organization, COVID-19 has caused over 4.62 million active infections and over 0.3 million fatalities globally as of May 16, 2020. According to current statistics, the vast majority of patients who died from the infection had underlying health difficulties such as kidney damage, heart conditions, diabetes, and so on (Li et al. 518). COVID-19 is among the largest pandemic in the 21st century, following the MERS, and has resulted in the extensive global quarantine (Zowalaty and Järhult). Thriving metropolises have become vacant lots, open spaces where people have gathered for decades have become practically deserted, and thousands around the globe are under lockdown. The quarantine established due to the coronavirus pandemic is devastating to humanity, with all markets closed, religious buildings shuttered, public gatherings prohibited, travel restrictions imposed, construction projects suspended, and the economy and stock exchanges globally collapsing. The coronavirus outbreak, on the other hand, has a number of positive aspects that the world has been witnessing all through the quarantine in terms of climatic and ecological changes.

Should COVID-19 Vaccines Be Mandatory

Coronavirus pandemic outbreak in 2019 posed significant health challenges worldwide as fatalities increased daily. Nonetheless, medical research practitioners around the globe revamped their efforts to seek a lasting solution to curb the pandemic. As a consequence, a number of vaccines were produced to help combat the prevalence of the pandemic (Berezow). However, the administration of vaccines has invoked debate in almost every corner of the planet as people argue whether its administration should be made mandatory. In some quarters, the availability of the vaccine presents an opportunity for families to protect themselves,

Supply Chain Challenges Caused by COVID-19

Introduction

Supply chains have always been vulnerable to shocks that occur locally or internationally (Francis, 2020). Some of the shocks include pandemics, political instability, and trade wars. The shocks that affect supply operations reduce the flow of goods and services. Coronavirus pandemic caused significant challenges for the supply chain worldwide. Due to multiple national lockdown it greatly affected the flow of raw materials and finished goods. As a result, the actions disrupted the manufacturing of products. For instance, the nations that are dependent on Chinese products suffered due to lack of inputs due to lockdown restrictions. During the pandemic, many organizations have suffered due to products shortages. This paper will focus on identifying the various supply chain challenges caused by COVID 19 such as volatility. Furthermore, it will focus on how the maritime supply chain can reduce the negative impacts of COVID 19 on global supply chains. As a result, the paper aims at providing measures to achieve resilient supply chains.

Presidential Agendas and Population Health- Emphasizing Prevention, Wellness, and Equity

 

The opioid epidemic is an example of a health topic that rises to the presidential agenda level. Reports indicate opioids account for two out of three drug overdose-related deaths in the United States of America (USA). Over the past years, presidents have adopted different strategies to combat this problem. President Obama signed the 21st Century Act to fund his proposal to fight the opioid epidemic. President Obama released new guidelines for opioid prescriptions for patients with chronic pain. He provided $11 million to enable States to acquire naloxone, the opioid antidote, and train health workers on how to administer it (The White House, n.d.).

Then, describe how your health system work setting has responded to the healthcare issue/stressor, including a description of what changes may have been implemented. Be specific and provide examples.

Review of Current Healthcare Issues

Healthcare professionals working in critical care areas suffer from high psychological, emotional, and physical stress levels. Critical units of care, such as intensive care units, have higher work demands, which negatively impact the well-being of nurses and other healthcare professionals. A major healthcare issue that has increased the stress levels of healthcare professionals is the Covid-19 pandemic. Healthcare professionals were the frontline soldiers in the pandemic. They were, however, overburdened and under-equipped during the first wave, which resulted in higher stress levels (Couarraze et al., 2021). T

The Importance and the Need for Assessing Health Literacy in Patients

 

Evaluating patients’ health literacy tends to be very important. In the initial patient assessment, a nurse can tell whether a patient has high or low literacy skills. Typically, this knowledge allows the nurse to match their verbal directives and the readability level of material to a patient’s health literacy abilities. Additionally, it could advocate for the advantage of utilizing instruction materials like audiotapes, pictograms, demonstrations, videotapes, and supplementary visuals.

By Day 3 of Week 3 Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples.

Organizational Policies and Practices to Support Healthcare Issues

Competing needs, including patient needs, healthcare resources, and workforce, influence policy formulation since the competing needs must be aligned with the objectives of the policy being implemented. An example is a policy addressing the infection prevention protocols for COVID-19 that should meet the needs of healthcare professionals and the patient’s needs and minimize healthcare costs. Effective use of healthcare professionals is critical in safe, quality, and cost-effective healthcare services (Figueroa et al., 2019).

Evaluating Leadership Theories in Practice- Comparing Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership in Healthcare Settings

 

For the quality provision of healthcare services, the nurses are required to work in a healthy working environment that is motivating. Nursing leadership and administrative roles directly impact the nursing staff’s motivation to serve. The key insights I got from the articles I selected included, first, that leaders have an essential role in creating a healthy working environment for the staff and, hence, determine the individual experiences of their staff (Saleh et al., 2018). Secondly, good leadership is associated with decreased burnout among the staff as the leaders empower and motivate their nurses rather than dictate them to do their roles (Tran et al., 2018). Transformational leaders, unlike transactional leaders, should motivate and inspire the employees to carry out their roles as expected.

Part 3: Opioid Epidemic Fact Sheet

Opioid misuse and overdose are an epidemic in the USA. It has caused numerous deaths over the past years. Studies have revealed that opioids accounted for more than 70% of drug overdose deaths reported in 2019 (HHS, 2019). More than 48,000 deaths resulted from an overdose of synthetic opioids, while more than 14,000 deaths were caused by heroin overdose (HHS, 2019). Also, about 1.6 million Americans reported having an opioid use disorder in 2019. More than 740,000 were reported to have used heroin in 2019. Fifty thousand heroin users reported using the new users of the drug (HHS, 2019). Statistics reveal that about 10 million misused opioid prescriptions in 2019, and approximately five hundred thousand people are reported to have died from an opioid overdose between 1999 and 2019. The main culprits in these deaths include heroin, other illegal synthetic opioids, and prescribed opioids (US Food and Drug Administration, 2018). Accordingly, these statistics are alarming and demonstrate the importance of this issue; therefore, stringent measures should be set to avert future opioid overdose-related mortalities. Consequently, this will put the matter on the presidential agenda. The healthcare issue will stay on the presidential agenda until favorable statistics are obtained.

Integration of Interprofessional Perspectives That Support Quality Improvement

Interprofessional collaboration is important to improve the safety of quality of care. The interprofessional perspectives critical to the hospice program are transformational leaders and interdisciplinary collaboration. Identifying these perspectives and incorporating them into the QI initiatives will improve patient outcomes. The healthcare system is one big machine with interdependent parts, and hence a problem in one part will affect other parts (Huber & Joseph, 2021). The issues in the hospice program may affect other departments and hinder the organization from achieving its mission and vision. For instance, the poor performance of nurses can affect the performance of hospice physicians, social workers, and chaplains

Having access to quality health care is a basic human right. An individual’s immigration status should not determine if they can receive care. Growing up, I was part of a family that immigrated to the United States. My family immigrated to “Los Estados Unidos,” the United States, from Colombia in the 70s, searching for the American Dream. The move did come at a cost to our health and many other issues. Fortunately, unlike some of my cousins, I was born in the United States. Therefore, I had access to all the care I needed as a child, so I did not understand my family’s barriers when receiving care growing up. Consequently, formulating a health policy regarding access to health care for undocumented immigrants is of great significance.

Psychotherapy is considered a biological treatment that targets every biological regulation that underlies complex brain responses (Javanbakht & Alberini, 2019). Psychotherapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy increase top-down processing (that is, cortex to the limbic system), whereas Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness increase down-to-top processing (limbic system to the cortex), hence implying a biological connection (Wheeler, 2020). As a result, one benefits from a re-elaboration of others and self by encountering new experiences and learning that comprises internal, emotional, and cognitive regulation processes. According to Javanbakht and Alberini (2019), effective therapies can produce lasting as well as measurable physical alterations in one’s brain.

The Affordable Care Act was passed on March 23rd, 2010, to increase health insurance and bring reforms to the market regarding health insurance policies (Zhao et al. 2020). The Act has several provisions that improve the public healthcare system. Since its implementation, controversies have surrounded the Act, with some arguing that the project is costly for citizens regardless of government subsidies. It has been argued that the Affordable Care Act is a government project and an opportunity to benefit a few wealthy individuals at the expense of increased taxation and a few insurance companies owned by cartels associated with government officials. Citizens do not trust the government’s role in healthcare to be sincere, which raised concerns over the Act’s legitimacy, thus leading to motions to repeal the Act.

To Prepare: Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice. Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion.

Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations

Professional nursing regulations differ from one state to the other. In Florida, an advanced practice nurse practitioner is considered an individual who has acquired a master’s degree level in a given specialty from an accredited institution in Florida, Colombia, or other states. The board of nursing must approve the nurse in Florida. The state has protocols that define the scope of advanced practice nurse practitioners, and the nurse practitioners are, therefore, expected to serve according to these guidelines and protocols. Interestingly, the Nurse Practice Act states that nurse practitioners can prescribe, administer, dispense, and even order medications (Tony-Butler & Martin, 2018). In addition, the nurses can order diagnostic investigations, coordinate healthcare services, order physical therapy and occupational therapy, and manage selected medical diseases. For uncomplicated acute illnesses, the nurse practitioner is authorized to initiate, alter, maintain and monitor treatment without physician supervision (Toney-Butler & Martin, 2018). However, for each speciality, there is a protocol to be followed. In the case where supervision is required based on the protocol, the nurse practitioner must work under a physician from the practice group.

Conversely, in California, the regulations are very strict, and the practice scope of the advanced practice nurse practitioners is limited. To begin with, the state restricts the nurse practitioner from handling patients without the physician’s supervision. Besides, nurse practitioners are not authorized to make decisions regarding patient treatment and are, therefore, expected to work in the physician’s company. Secondly, unlike in Florida, nurse practitioners outside the state of California must submit endorsements of the applications (California Board of Registered Nursing, 2022). In Florida, on the other hand, individuals with master’s degrees from a credited institution anywhere in the state are allowed to practice. Accordingly, this is very unfair since the nurse practitioners are prepared to work fully within their scope during their training. Given the differences across the states, the advanced nurse practitioner should recognize and appreciate the limitations of the practice scope across the cities (Milstead & Short, 2019). This is crucial, especially for the advanced nurse practitioner who may be willing to relocate to another state.

Part 2: Reviewing the Literature

In the pursuit of civility at the workplace, Clark’s Healthy Workplace Inventory proves to be a critical tool. Civility is depicted in specific behaviours. These include honesty and politeness during communication, respect for other employees, courtesy, professional appropriateness in all communications, and trustworthiness. Civility is intended to achieve two objectives. First, it should create a work environment that encourages the engagement of all employees. Secondly, it enables the provision of better customer service due to a high level of engagement and teamwork. These actions match the definition of civility, which is ‘claiming and caring for one’s identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone else’s in the process’ (Reed, Whitten, & Jeremiah, 2019, p.168). The definition emphasizes fostering respect for other people’s respect and for oneself as well.

Christian Concept of the Imago Dei and Worldview Christian Concept of the Imago Dei and Worldview 

Imago Dei is the translation for “Image of God.” This is a concept in the Genesis creation story. Christians believe that people were created in God’s image (Stahl & Kilner, 2017). In the creation story, human beings are God’s main achievement. Many philosophers and theologians have proposed several ideas to describe the image of God. This includes the capacity to reason, the ability to be a moral agent, and possessing a spiritual nature (Grand Canyon University, 2020). Imago Dei does not show that human beings resemble God’s physical characteristics. God is considered a spiritual being who does not have physical characteristics (Grand Canyon University, 2020).

Improving Clinical Outcomes- Data Analysis, Goal Setting, and Change Plan for Enhanced Performance

According to Martinez et al. (2019), diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by the impaired metabolism of carbohydrates. Hyperglycemia occurs due to altered insulin secretion and can occur in the presence or absence of insulin resistance (Martinez et al., 2019). Type 2 diabetes mellitus can result from insulin resistance, inadequate secretion of insulin, or impaired glucagon secretion (Martinez et al., 2019). Early screening and close patient follow-up lead to a good prognosis of the disease (Martinez et al., 2019).

The Role of the RN-APRN in Policy-Making

The involvement of nurses in health policy development helps to enhance the safety, affordability, accessibility, and quality of health care (Shariff, 2017). Nurses can influence policies as they intimately interact with the clients, which helps them gain an appreciation of the healthcare needs of the patients and how they can facilitate these needs (Arabi et al., 2018). One of the opportunities for nurses to influence policy is through political participation. According to Shariff (2017), nurses often demonstrate some level of political participation even though this level is often restricted. In most cases, nurse leaders are commonly involved in the policy implementation stage

Role of Economic Analysis in Policy Formulation


---------------------------------------
In every nation, there is the existence of various types of social, economic, and other problems. A comprehensive study of economic conditions, activities, behavior of the society, identification of economic problems, cause, and effect of economic problems is simply known as economic analysis.

The government of the nation has to make various efforts to solve the economic problems of the nation or society. So, various measures that are to be taken to solve the problems of society are known as policy formulation. Economic analysis before the formulation of any socio-economic policy is mandatory for fruitful policy formulation and its implementation. A short description of some of the key roles of economic analysis in policy formulation is here in the picture

Primary Care Medication Management for Mrs. Lyons- Evidence-Based Responses and Rationales for Hypertension and Dyslipidemia

Primary Care Medication Management for Mrs. Lyons- Evidence-Based Responses and Rationales for Hypertension and Dyslipidemia

Mrs. Lyons is a 57-year-old African American female who recently developed headaches and had an elevated blood pressure reading at her work health fair. Her blood pressure was taken at the health fair, and the reading was 168/99. She has returned to the drugstore 3 other times to take her blood pressure. The readings have been 145/90, 150/89, and 140/88. At the health fair, she was told that her BMI was elevated. Her cholesterol levels were also measured at the health fair. The results were: total cholesterol level of 250, LDL 138, HDL 48, and Triglycerides 170.

She has not been to see a primary care provider in over 5 years. At her last office visit, which was 5 years ago, her blood pressure was (135/95). Her LDL and triglycerides were also elevated at that time. The patient was supposed to monitor her blood pressure at home and trial diet and lifestyle changes. She was supposed to return for a follow-up with her blood pressure log and for a recheck of her labs. She, unfortunately, did not do this.

Today in the clinic, her vital signs are:
BP 146/92, HR 90, Temp 98.4, RR 12, O2 98%, Height 5’5, Weight 220 lbs, BMI 36.6

She is not currently taking any medications. She has NKDA. Family history: her brother and sister both have been diagnosed with hypertension and DM. Diagnoses for the patient are HTN, Obesity, and Hyperlipidemia.

The current population of the United States is different from thirty years ago. The patient population is diverse, representing people from different demographics, cultural backgrounds, and age groups (Kaihlanen et al., 2019). Other patients are also not proficient in English since it is not their first language. Accordingly, cultural diversities require nurse educators to adjust their teaching styles to accommodate all individuals. The intended audience for this teaching is hospitalized patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes. The learning will focus on lifestyle modification to reduce hospital readmissions. The nurse educator will identify the teaching topic, evaluate the learning environment, determine the audience’s learning needs, and develop a teaching theory that will most impact the audience. Our assignment writing help is at affordable prices to students of all academic levels and disciplines.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course, the following learning outcomes will be achieved:

The audience will identify the signs and symptoms, risk factors, complications, and management of type 2 diabetes.

The audience will implement healthy lifestyle choices to control their blood sugar levels.

The audience will understand the importance of medication adherence in reducing diabetes complications.

Comprehensive Teaching Plan and Assessment Strategy- Integrating Course Design for Effective Learning Outcomes Course Overview Introduction

Nurses, the largest workforce in the healthcare system, provide continuous bedside care, which is critical to ensure desirable clinical outcomes and prevent readmissions. These tasks include surveillance of any complications, patient education and development of discharge plans (Ma et al., 2015). Nurse educators provide important teaching for nursing students to ensure they have the requisite knowledge required to implement patient-centered care and improve healthcare outcomes. Nurse educators evaluate learning and competencies in classrooms and clinical environments. In addition, nurses can also assume the role of patient educators. To improve healthcare outcomes, they can educate patients on medication use,

Assessment Description What are your strengths and weaknesses in facilitating spiritual care for patients with worldviews different from yours? Spiritual Care for Patients with Different Worldviews Spiritual Care for Patients with Different Worldviews If you were the patient, who would have the final say regarding ethical decision-making and intervention in a difficult situation?

Spiritual Care for Patients with Different Worldviews

Spirituality is a major contributory factor to the health and well-being of individuals within the society. Spiritual well-being has been implicated in greater tolerance of emotional demands of individual illnesses, decreased pain and suffering, transcendence, and enhanced purpose and willingness to live (Anandarajah, 2005). Facilitating spiritual care among patients with spiritual beliefs is therefore necessary.

The Christian Biblical Narrative and Its Implications for Understanding Sickness and Disease- Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration

The Christian Biblical narrative states that God is the Creator of human beings and everything on earth (Grand Canyon University, 2020). He created Adam and Eve. God has dominion over all his creation. Additionally, He has the power to prevent pain and suffering. The first man and woman sinned and disobeyed God, which resulted in the fall (Grand Canyon University, 2020). Even though God is merciful, human beings must pay for their sins through pain and suffering. This is the life we live in a fallen world  (Orr, 2015).

All human body processes are significant and essential to establish health in individuals. Therefore, a healthy state involves processes involving feedback loops to maintain a balance that results in an ailing state when altered. This balance is defined as homeostasis, which is the ability of the body to achieve balance in its internal environment (Peate & Nair, 2017).

Ethical and Spiritual decision making in healthcare The Christian perspective of the nature of spirituality and ethics in contrast to the perspective of postmodern relativism within health care

Modern healthcare is based on the holistic approach that tends to incorporate the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a human being. The healthcare providers consider all these elements important to the recovery of an individual. This perception has led to the consideration of holistic care as the standard of care. Thus, healthcare is connected to spirituality. It is through spirituality that facility founders are inspired to offer healthcare services. As such, spirituality matters are not confined to religion. Instead, they cut across the boundaries that are related to religion and medicine to become integral aspects of healthcare and incorporate ethics as well (Gula, 2000).

The Natural Defenses of the Respiratory Tract

 

The primary gas exchange function of the respiratory system makes it vulnerable to pathogens circulating in the air. However, the respiratory tract has physical and cellular apparatus that form the natural defenses against microbial entry and disease. Different types of cells make up and line the respiratory airways. They include goblet cells, epithelial cells, neuroendocrine cells, and secretory cells, which prevent harmful particles such as dust or microbes from depositing on the lower airway and alveolar surfaces. Ciliated epithelial cells propel the secretory barrier consisting of mucus, antibodies, and antimicrobial proteins upwards, trapping microbes and other particles and preventing them from reaching the lung (LeMessurier et al., 2020). In case of a breach of the secretory barrier, particles and microbes communicate with immune cells such as leukocytes, which elicit an innate immunity-mediated inflammatory response and repair mechanisms (Iwasaki, Foxman & Molony, 2017). The alveolar is not protected by cilia or mucus. Particles reaching the alveolar are neutralized by cells drawn from innate immunity (macrophages and dendritic cells) and adaptive immunity (B and T cells).

Reflect on the analysis of the sin of suicide and, thus, euthanasia from the topic readings. The Sin of Suicide and Euthanasia The Sin of Suicide and Euthanasia Do you agree? Why or why not? Refer to the lecture and topic readings in your response

The Sin of Suicide and Euthanasia

Euthanasia refers to the act of merciful killing through either the administration of a lethal agent or withholding a lifesaving intervention. It is understandable that death may be the better option in extreme duress, such as in patients with a terminal illness with endless pain and suffering. However, I concur with the idea that physicians should not be permitted to engage in euthanasia. During the training of the healthcare personnel, the main goal is always to save lives in any way possible. Besides, suicide has long been a serious legal issue in most countries (Wells et al., 2013). There are certain countries where individuals who attempt suicide are prosecuted. Therefore, healthcare providers should aim to save patients’ lives as much as possible. This is evidenced by the advancement of the healthcare setting with the increasing number of intensive care facilities. It is believed that as long as an individual can still be supported to live, they have a right to stay alive.

Christian View on Moral Status-Theory of Moral Agency Christian View of the Nature of Human Persons and Intrinsic Human Value and Dignity

Christianity views human life and the nature of persons as a gift from God.
Human persons are, thus, fundamentally creatures of God, created in God’s image (White, 2020). Essentially, the human person develops in line with the idea that God has for him and grows in the context of time and history (Cardinal Müller, 2017).  From this understanding, the Christian view of the nature of human life is that it is in existence and has an absolute value from the moment of conception until life ends naturally. God is considered the sole moral authority to determine when life begins and ends.

Jean Watson’s theory of informative caring identifies nursing as a healthcare profession focused on promoting health, preventing illness, providing care for the sick, and restoring health. According to Jean Watson, the central point in nursing is the human component and the encounter between the patient and the caregiver (Watson & Woodward, 2020). The theory describes human care as a process characterized by a transpersonal caring relationship. Such a relationship must be guided by humanistic values and the need to provide care and curative services. Jean Watson presented the patient as a whole; however, their body, mind,

Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Advocating for new policies is an essential aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling, they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.

Another aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.

Nurs-fpx 4060 assessment 3 Disaster Recovery Plan Slide 2 Disaster Plan and Recovery (Mobilize collaborative partners)

A disaster is considered anything out of the ordinary that happens and prevents access to key processes. Planning makes it possible to manage the entire life cycle of a potential disaster. Strategic and operational planning establishes priorities, identifies expected levels of performance and capability requirements, provides the standard for assessing capabilities, and helps stakeholders learn their roles (U.S. Homeland Security, 2020). A major component of a disaster plan is the recovery phase; recovery is defined as the activities that occur before, during, and after a disastrous event. Following a disaster, survival rates depend on healthcare facilities’ ability to provide care under duress and to handle a sudden influx of large numbers of victims. Much depends on the staff, supplies, equipment, structure, and systems that are required to treat a significant increase in patients seeking medical and nursing care (Veenema, 2016). The disaster recovery process is focused on restoring and revitalizing communities that have been impacted by the disaster, such as the train derailment disaster that affected the Villa Health community. Both planning and recovery are essential components for proper management and restoration of community disasters. After speaking with the Vila Health Hospital and community officials, it is clear their disaster recovery plan needs to be revised.

The range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status are known as determinants of health. Determinants of health fall under several broad categories: policymaking, social factors, health services, individual behavior, biology, and genetics. It is the interrelationships among these factors that determine individual and population health (Healthy People 2020, May 2020). Vulnerable populations include social groups with an increased relative risk or predisposition toward adverse health outcomes. Such as those in the Villa Health community; 204 residents are elderly with complex health conditions; 147 are physically disabled and/or use lip-reading or American Sign Language to communicate.

Q4. How might concomitant administration of St. John’s wort affect the efficacy of drugs this patient is taking, such as oral contraceptives? Discuss another example of a possible drug interaction that might occur with St. John’s wort.

St. John’s wort is a herbal medicine used in the management of anxiety and depressive disorders. The use of St John’s wort herbal products alongside estrogen combined or progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives has been shown to decrease the effect of the contraceptives (Valmiro et al., 2021). This is because St John’s wort interacts with hormonal contraceptives, increasing the metabolism of the active ingredients, reducing the pill’s effectiveness, and increasing the risk of unplanned pregnancy. Therefore, oral contraceptive pills should not be taken with St John’s wort and related products. St. John’s wort also interacts with fluoxetine oral (Prozac), increasing the production of serotonin with a risk of increased blood pressure.

PCV13 first dose for Pneumococcal disease

The Haemophilus influenza Type B disease (Hib) first dose.

IPV first dose for Polio

The clinic has all the vaccines available, and if not currently available, a request can be made to avail of the missing vaccine.

Q2. The child returns at 12 months after completing her primary series of vaccines at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Her vaccines are right on schedule, and her parents have no concerns; she is developing normally, and her exam is normal. What vaccines can she get today?

Vaccination is highly recommended for children to strengthen their immunity and improve their bodies’ antimicrobial resistance (Buchy et al., 2020). By the 12th month, the child has received most of the doses for the various vaccines. The recommended vaccines that a 12-months old baby should receive include;

The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) first dosage,

The Diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis) (DTaP) fourth dose,

HepA vaccine first dose for Hepatitis A,

The Hib vaccine fourth dose for Haemophilus influenza type b disease,

IPV third dose for Polio,

Varicella first dose for protection against Chickenpox,

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) fourth dose for Pneumococcal disease,

The child will also be required to receive her HepB vaccine, the Third dose at the moment or later before she turns 18 months old, and the Influenza (Flu) vaccine every other year.

The Role of Self-Awareness in Effective Leadership- Harnessing Emotional Intelligence for Better Management

 

The level of a leader’s emotional intelligence determines the effectiveness of their leadership. Emotional intelligence in leadership is important as it determines the attitudes, modes, motivation, and direction of relationships within an organization. Leaders are tasked with the role of effecting necessary changes and administrative duties within the organizations they serve. Emotional intelligence enables leaders to identify and understand possible emotional reactions to certain changes and organizational goals (Jiménez, 2018). A leader equipped with high emotional intelligence will understand why a change or a certain goal attracts certain

Differing Roles and Approaches of Nursing Leaders and Nursing Managers

 

Nursing leaders influence their followers to strive willingly toward achieving specific goals. Nursing managers are involved in planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling staff (Amiri et al., 2020). Leaders advocate for transformation and mainly work with people. Conversely, managers rely on transactions and do not promote change (Gandolfi & Stone, 2018). Managers respond to change created by leaders and are interested in the process rather than individuals who bring change.

The topic is MEDICATION ERRORS AND HERE IS A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF IT: Short Description: Annotated Bibliography and Summary- Medication Errors Annotated Bibliography and Summary- Medication Errors A medication error is a preventable adverse effect of a patient taking the wrong medication or dosage, whether or not it is evident or harmful to the patient. Medication errors can be a source of serious patient harm, including death. Potential Intervention Approaches: – Medical staff education – Packaging improvements – Patient medication safety training Keywords for Articles: medication administration, medication errors, medication safety

Annotated Bibliography and Summary- Medication Errors

Overview

Medication errors occur as the result of failures in treating a patient. Such errors present a serious health issue and a significant pushback on efforts made toward providing quality health care. Medication errors can occur due to prescription faults and errors, manufacturing drug formulation errors, dispensing and administration errors, and patient monitoring errors. Medication errors can cause mild to adverse effects on patients, resulting in harm or even death. A majority of the medication errors that occur within hospital settings due to nursing errors are preventable. Such errors can be intervened in response to the factors that lead to such errors. Potential interventions include medical staff education, improving drug packaging, patient medication safety training, adherence to drug administration guidelines, and use of medication administration technology. As giving medication is a central role in nursing, a nurse needs to understand the causes of medication errors and how to prevent them during the patient treatment process.

Differences between Humanistic-Existential Psychotherapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Impact on Clinical Practice

One difference is that humanistic-existential therapy delves into an understanding of oneself and the aptitudes for individually tackling significant mental healthcare issues. Through this approach, the care professional can aid the patient to conform to their underlying needs and desires (Pristipino et al., 2019). The context is through helping the patients ascertain the functional alongside dysfunctional way of living. Conversely, cognitive-behavioral therapy is founded on looking into the patient’s in-depth cognitive-based, affective-based, behavioral and motivational elements (McGuire & Storch, 2019). Psychotherapists can oversee their scope of practice through this foundation by highlighting the specific elements presented

This literature review synthesizes the key discussions surrounding John Dunlop’s Theory of Employment Relations, offering insights into its continued relevance and the critical perspectives that have emerged over time

Introduction John Dunlop's Theory of Employment Relations (ER), formulated in the 1950s, has had a profound impact on the study and practice of industrial relations. His framework laid the groundwork for understanding how various actors within the employment relationship interact within a broader societal context. This literature review will explore key aspects of Dunlop's theory, its relevance in contemporary settings, and the criticisms it has faced over the decades. The review is based on six academic journal articles that provide diverse perspectives on Dunlop's work. 1. Explanation of John Dunlop's Theory of Employment Relations a. Overview of the Theory John Dunlop's Theory of Employment Relations, also known as the Industrial Relations System (IRS), posits that employment relations are shaped by the interactions among three primary actors: employers, employees (and their representatives, such as unions), and the state. These interactions occur within a system governed by a set of shared ideologies, rules, and regulations that define the nature of work and employment. The key components of Dunlop’s theory include: Actors: Employers, employees, and the state, each with distinct roles and interests. Contexts: The environment in which the actors operate, including the technological, market, and power dynamics that influence the employment relationship. Rules: The formal and informal regulations, agreements, and norms that govern the employment relationship.

Literature Review: John Dunlop's Theory of Employment Relations Introduction John Dunlop's Theory of Employment Relations (ER), introduced in his seminal work "Industrial Relations Systems" (1958), has been foundational in shaping the understanding of employment relations. The theory, which offers a systematic framework for analyzing the interactions between employers, employees, and the state, has garnered both acclaim and criticism over the decades. This literature review explores six academic journal articles to provide a comprehensive overview of Dunlop’s ER theory, its relevance in contemporary industrial relations, and the criticisms it has faced. The review will elucidate the core components of Dunlop’s theory, evaluate its applicability in modern contexts, and highlight key debates within the academic community. Body 1. Explanation of John Dunlop’s Theory of Employment Relations and Its Relevance Dunlop's ER theory posits that employment relations can be understood as a system consisting of three key actors: management (employers), labor (employees and their representatives), and the government (state agencies). These actors operate within a set of environmental contexts including technology, market constraints, and power relations. Dunlop argues that these actors interact to establish a set of rules and regulations that govern the workplace. This framework is often referred to as the

Based on the analysis of your social media, discuss what areas of your social media activity reflect Christian values as they relate to respecting human value and dignity for all individuals. Describe areas of your social media activity that could be improved.

  1.  

Nurses have a professional responsibility that extends to moral and ethical obligations permeating the profession. The responsibility is identified by standards related to morals, integrity, collaboration with other medical personnel, social change, and patient care. Nurses must be aware of these standards and uphold them since violations could result in disciplinary action by the nursing board or even the loss of license. Through posting inappropriate social media content, nurses reflect adversely on themselves and also the associated medical organization. This is particularly of concern when the content involves the patients’ rights thereby violating HIPAA provisions (Black, 2020). To be more precise, concerns are presented when the social media content includes disparaging remarks about patients, sexually suggestive images, profane and biased language, and infringements on patient confidentiality. For instance, if a patient comes into the medical facility drunk and ends up urinating on himself, then taking a picture of that patient in wet cloths and posting it on social media would be considered a violation of the required standards of conduct. HIPAA is particularly concerned with patient confidentiality with violations that identify the patient outside the strict realms of care provision being considered unprofessional and unethical. Irrespective of whether the information disclosure was intentional or unintentional, it would still be considered a breach of HIPPA regulations (Black, 2020).

Evidence-based clinical theories and scientifically founded study outcomes on clinical practice are critical for aligning clinical-based professionalism together with patient-founded values for steering high-quality healthcare decisions. This framework encompasses the utilization of empirical scientific proof within various forms of clinical studies. The clinical studies may be in the form of randomized controlled trials (Lehane et al., 2019). The clinical studies may also involve the use of descriptive alongside qualitative studies, case studies, and scientific-based standards, together with clinical professional ideologies and opinions.

Through the underlining of the pertinent evidence-based study information, there is the enablement for the guiding of evidence-based clinical practice. This context is critical in guaranteeing a continuum of healthcare quality improvement initiatives (Lehane et al., 2019). The elements are highly linked to person-centered outcomes and improved safety for individuals and communities.

This evidence-based research article is founded on underlining postoperative patients’ healthcare literacy initiatives by a medical-surgical unit. The basis is in regard to the need for improving postoperative care coupled with extensive and remote evaluation and monitoring of wounds for the at-risk population. Through this foundation, there is the enablement for the provision of educational guidance for dressing wounds. There is also the need to adhere to nutritional diets such as fruit and vegetables and conform to the recommended treatment interventions and medication plans.

The context reflects the use of evidence-based clinical theories for consensus decision-making. The theoretical framework is facilitated by the collaborating multidisciplinary teams endeavoring to attain the agreed-upon objective of patients’ participative-based handling of postoperative wounds. Also, the theoretical context is founded on increasing healthcare literacy initiatives so that patients can be extensively involved in personal care for their wounds. The patients are therefore educated on the need for being continuously involved in associations with clinical settings and community settings nurses.

The basis helps facilitate a smooth transition of healthcare from one care settings to the next for an effective continuum of care. As a result, there is an improved aptitude for the prevention of hospital readmissions due to wound infections. Also, there is the realization of quality person-centered outcomes for postoperative patients.

The context reflects the use of evidence-based clinical theories for consensus decision-making. The theoretical framework is facilitated by the collaborating multidisciplinary teams endeavoring to attain the agreed-upon objective of patients’ participative-based handling of postoperative wounds. Also, the theoretical context is founded on increasing healthcare literacy initiatives so that patients can be extensively involved in personal care for their wounds. The patients are therefore educated on the need for being continuously involved in associations with clinical settings and community settings nurses.

The basis helps facilitate a smooth transition of healthcare from one care settings to the next for an effective continuum of care. As a result, there is an improved aptitude for the prevention of hospital readmissions due to wound infections. Also, there is the realization of quality person-centered outcomes for postoperative patients.

Distinguishing Leadership from Management- Overlapping Goals and Facilitating Change in Nursing Differences Between Leadership and Management

Despite sharing some similarities, leadership and management have distinct and significant differences. Managers exercise the authority assigned to them by the organization and use it to drive the different resources assigned to them to achieve company goals. They accomplish this by making decisions and controlling and evaluating programs. Their roles and responsibilities are specific, and they use their authority to direct all subordinates regardless of the absence or absence of resistance (Whitney et al., 2022). On the flip side, leaders are visioners who achieve their goals by influencing, empowering, and improving interpersonal relationships. They draw power from influencing people.

Nurs-fpx 4060 Assessment 2 Community Resources Impacts of Health On a Local Community

 

The non-profit organization United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is a global organization “that works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their full potential” (UNICEF, n.d.). This organization was put in place to help children around the world, especially those most vulnerable. In this paper, we are going to review how the missions and vision of UNICEF contribute to public health and safety through the work the organization has done. Next, we will evaluate the organization’s ability to promote equal opportunity and improve quality of life within communities and the implications of barriers related to social, cultural, economic, and physical within the community. We will assess the impact of funding sources, policy, and legislation on UNICEF’s service delivery. Lastly, an explanation of how the organization’s work impacts the health of the local community and how nurses can become involved with UNICEF.

Contributions to Public Health and Safety Improvements

The mission and vision of UNICEF are “to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help them meet their basic needs and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential” (UNICEF, n.d.). The organization states that survival, protection, and development are imperative to the human process (UNICEF, n.d.). UNICEF mobilizes political will, in particular in developing countries, to create appropriate policies and deliver services for children and families (UNIFEC, n.d.). The organization responds in emergencies to protect children’s rights and is committed to ensuring special protection for the most disadvantaged (UNICEF, n.d.). They are anti-discriminatory and promote the equal rights of women and girls (UNICEF, n.d). Advocating for the protection of children’s rights to help meet basic needs enables the organization to promote policies that can improve public health and safety, such as access to clean drinking water and food, vaccinations, or preventative health care. Through the goals and work of UNICEF surrounding healthcare initiatives, they aim “to treat diseases and strengthen healthcare systems so that children, adolescents, and women of reproductive age have access to affordable, quality healthcare,” especially those in harder-to-reach and under-developed communities (UNICEF, n.d.). One way we can see this being done is through a collective effort with the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), International Council of Nurses (ICN), International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetricians (FIGO), and International Pediatric Association (IPA) to define competent maternal and newborn health professionals (WHO et al., 2018). This statement was created to improve a previous statement in 2004, “Making pregnancy safe: The critical role of skilled attendants,” which both statements were created to reach the approved goal/agenda of 2030 according to the 17 Sustainable Goals created by these organizations (WHO et al., 2018). The goals were created to reduce maternal and newborn deaths by 2030, and the statements were created to a standard and universal definition of what it entails to be a competent healthcare professional in order to assure appropriate and safe care for women and children in pre-pregnancy, antenatal care, intrapartum care, postpartum and postnatal care, and newborn care in order to improve the care of these individuals with the end goal of decreased deaths to this population (WHO et al., 2018). Through these statements and initiatives, UNICEF is able to improve the quality of care and improve the life expectancy and health of these individuals on a global scale and can be used to benefit the women and children of the world, supporting the organization’s mission and vision and promoting public health safety those it was created for

Equal Opportunity

As stated earlier and within the mission statement of UNICEF, one of the main objectives of the organization is to promote equal opportunity and gender equality and rights for girls and women through “support of full participation in political, social and economic developments within their communities” (UNICEF, n.d.). This is seen through the Gender Action Plan 2018-2021 to support the sustainable developmental goals created by this organization and the ones mentioned previously (UNICEF, 2019). The main objective is to promote gender equality for boys and girls in care and support w

Telehealth is beneficial for both health and convenience, and it serves to help address the healthcare problem even amid the pandemic. If we are to examine the impact of technology in the medical field, telehealth will be a good place to begin from. Telehealth is a service that uses video calling and similar technologies to facilitate a healthcare provider to provide service to the patient away from a medical facility that has gained precedence, especially during the pandemic.

The infant mortality rate is one health indicator that has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The infant mortality rate refers to the deaths of children under one year per 1000 live births in the same year (Kabir et al., 2020). Infants under the age of 1 year have a higher risk of Covid-19 infection than older children. Infants can get Covid-19 due to exposure to sick caregivers or during childbirth. Poverty and economic struggles brought by the Covid-19 pandemic have also contributed to the increased infant mortality rate since 2020. Among the 6 million global deaths caused by Covid-19, 0.4 percent occurred in children aged 0-7 years (Kabir et al., 2020).

Effects of Defamation Law Professional Communicators Regards Social Media Marketing and Press

 

Introduction

People and organizations rely on their reputations to sell their products, plans, ideas, and personalities in the current business and corporate world. With the advancement in the communication sector, more marketing platforms have been created, with social media being the most used. Social media demands great proficiency in communication for one to market their products. Further, the brand reputation is highly regarded when marketing on this platform. Thus, those marketers must be great communicators with higher credibility and integrity who have an image or brand to protect.

With nations having freedom of expression, defamation laws aim to balance the freedom in the community between subjects. To report defamation remarks or actions, one must present convincing evidence such as a publication (Hall‐Lipsy & Malanga, 2017, p. 1624; Ng et al., 2019; Pearson & Polden, 2020, p. 78). This publication must address the third party, with the plaintiff proving that the message addressed can identify him through the image or description given in those defamation actions (Griffen, 2017, p. 10). Defamation acts are actionable because they affect people’s lifestyles, image, or reputation, which influences social life.

Suggest Alternative Ways of Punishment for People with Children (Mother with Babies)

While a single parent is detained, children’s interest, especially babies, has to be taken into account. Courts have to analyze what impacts on children’s emotional well-being their parents’ arrest might cause. The central role of justice is to create a balance within social institutes and bodies, thus satisfying the needs of all citizens. In case a mother commits a crime, the first measure should be precautionary in the forms of fines, correctional works, and others. When it comes to sentencing a pregnant woman, it is necessary to impose non-custodial sanctions and measures on her where it is possible and appropriate. All these strategies might be helpful in reducing prison overcrowding.

DNA Retention: Advantages and Disadvantages for DNA Collection

During the last decade, DNA samples have become a popular tool of criminologists to find and prove the criminal behavior of an individual.

Michigan v. Tyler, Michigan v. Clifford and Fire Investigators Case Facts 1

 

On January 21, 1970, a fire broke in a furniture store, and firefighters arrived to put the flames out. The fire chief found remnants of flammable liquid containers in the building and called in the police. Having retrieved the pieces as evidence and taken some photographs of the site, the police charged the owners with conspiring to burn the building. They were convicted based on the produced evidence but appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court, which reversed the decision.

Issues

The defendants’ principal claim was that the searches were conducted without a warrant or the owners’ consent. Hence, they would violate the Fourth Amendment, and the evidence produced as a result would not be admissible in court. However, the state authorities contended that the situation fell under a category that would permit a warrantless search. The two parties went to the Supreme Court to obtain its verdict on the matter.

The Supreme Court ultimately ruled mostly in favor of Michigan, ruling that the entry during the fire was reasonable. The evidence was in plain view, and, therefore, its seizure was also lawful, as was the repeated visit in the morning, which was considered a continuation of the first entry (Michigan v. Tyler, 1978). However, entries that happened after January 22 were deemed to violate the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, and evidence from them was determined to be inadmissible.

Effect on Fire Investigators

Fire investigators can enter the building while it is still on fire to put it out and retrieve any evidence that is in plain view. However, a further search of the building without a warrant or the owners’ consent is forbidden by law. The same requirements apply for any entry or search by a fire investigator after the fire has been put out.

Case Facts 2

A fire damaged a private home while the owners were out of town. The fire was extinguished, at which time all firefighters and police officers left the premises. However, a team of fire investigators arrived later, entering the house and searching it. They found a device used to set the fire deliberately in the basement and extended the search to the upper floors, where they found additional evidence. In the resulting court case, the Michigan Court of Appeals suppressed the evidence produced in the investigation as warrantless.

Issues

The investigators entered the premises without a warrant or exigent circumstances, as the fire had already been put out. However, the search was administrative rather than criminal, which put its relationship with the Fourth Amendment into question. With that said, the examination of the upper floors took place because of the suspicion that the fire was caused by arson and was, therefore, criminal in nature.

Submitting a Safe Environment for Inmates

The lack of financial resources and the absence of control forces is the primary root of the increasing growth of the prison population. Currently, prisons are rampant with severe criminal affairs and drug abuse in this environment, as these notions can hardly be regulated by prison staff because of overcrowding. All these cases cause mental stress disorders and breakdowns among convicts. According to annual statistics, there is an excellent rate of prisoners committing suicides as they cannot put up with these conditions.

Negligence is the type of tort, meaning the failure to behave in a way that meets the reasonable standard of care in specific circumstances, ultimately resulting in damage to somebody else. This may include conducting an inappropriate action or failing to perform a proper action (Valbrune et al., 2019). In general, negligence is set by defining the defendant’s duty, whether he or she committed a breach of the duty, and the claimant’s sufferance as proximate aftermath of the violation.

“Punishment and Modern Society, a Study in Modern Theory” by David Garland

 

The question of who has the right to pronounce and dispense punishment to a criminal, what constitutes a crime, and what role does the family and community have in both preventing and allowing crime to flourish has been the foundation of the criminal justice system throughout time. Dave Garland followed the history of the criminal justice system from its inception to modern times in order to answer these questions in his book Punishment and Modern Society, A Study in Modern Theory (Studies in Crime and Justice). David Garland has won several awards including the Distinguished Scholar Award from the American Sociological Association’s Crime, Law, and Deviance Section as well as the Outstanding Scholarship Award of the Crime and Delinquency Division of Society for the Study of Social Problems.

The Articles of Confederation and the US Constitution Comparison

Introduction

The Articles of Confederation emerged as an issue of great debate among the United States citizens after the American Revolution. Encouraged by victory over the European crown, they claimed that the article was inadequate in governing the central authority. This is because it had no recognized executive power. In addition, it lacked the judicial branch, so disputes were not arbitrated sufficiently. International treaties were used to govern the country in the late 18th century. However, individual states disobeyed the treaty and as a result, the republic was put in a bad place diplomatically. The US constitution was formed to address these problems. This paper will elucidate the difference and similarities between the two articles.

Punishment vs. Rehabilitation Within the Criminal Justice System

 

Introduction

Though it is hard to disagree that this is a wonderful world, unfortunately, there are several disadvantages and adverse factors influencing people’s experience throughout their lives. For example, one of the primary and serious problems is the high crime rate and the vast number of offenders. A way to solve this issue and prevent persons from defying the law is to punish those who commit crimes so that neither they nor others consider it an option. Although it is a rather practical and time-tested method, there is an opinion that punishing people is not ethical, and rehabilitation is a better approach to correct the antisocial behavior of criminals.

The Impact of Unemployment on Crime Rates

 

Introduction

Criminal records have a tendency to grow even during pandemics when most humans changed work locations for home. People try to develop a modern system of law enforcement, increase trust between policies and the public, and build a stronger society; however, most countries keep struggling with crime. At the same time, the number of people that lost their jobs or the ones that are in an ongoing search also gathers pace.

Unemployment has become a severe issue in various states, partly due to the current epidemiological situation, partly because of increased population, and competition for a working place. Not all humans manage to prove their unemployment status and receive relevant benefits from the government. Some states have a complicated system of approval and bureaucratic chaos, and because of that, some part of the unemployed population remains with no financial support. Such disappointing consequences lead to various problems of income-searching behavior: illegal employment, lawns, drugs, or alcoholism.

Introduction

Network design and management have been characterized by continued innovation in the areas of cloud services, server virtualization, content and mobile devices. The networking industry requires to reexamine the network architectures and design to consolidate and fit in the new innovations. The previous designs were mostly dominated by Ethernet switches largely arranged in a hierarchical protocol. The dynamic storage and computing needs in the areas of education, business, and governmental organizations among others, required a change from earlier designs that were client-server based to more reliable ones. The following are some of the new innovations that facilitated constant developments in the network design and management.

Introduction

It can be deliberately stated that in almost every sector new ideas are emerging every now and then. Some of the new ideas take in the form of a vital growth and development in some sectors and continues to develop demand for the possible consumers. Especially in the IT sector the networking trends are occurring every day with the proper use of the cloud. The trends and development in the IT sector has a tendency to make sure that the various organisations are being highly benefited and that they have substantial amount of potential to continue with the development that might eventually allow them to earn adequate amount of profit for further improvisation. The recent networking trends are exclusively known to improve the functioning of multiple business organisations and at the same time, make sure that they can push their limits to be one of the well-defined institutions. The recent trends do not always have to of positive nature. There is a significant amount of possibility that they might have the tendency to cause a negative impact as well.

Network Design and Management Trends- The Concept

The concept of network design and management trends instigates the proper use of various computer network design and other activities that makes sure that an organisation is able to conduct their businesses in an appropriate manner. This completely focuses on their range of reliability, efficiency and capabilities of using data transferring channels. At the same time, the idea of proper network operation, maintenance and administration is taken into consideration as well to make sure that the rate of growth and development can be properly maintained and that everyone can gain adequate amount of benefits from that (White, 2016). On a global scale, the rate at which the system of networking continues to pace up is surprising for everyone. Every year, users connect with more devices and demand more bandwidth for the high throughput of the applications that are required to use. For the continues growth of network use, various organisations have taken the initiative to change their own networking and communication to make sure that they can attract more population.

Network Design and Management Trends Over the Last Three Years

The consequential level of trends occurring in the networking and management trends over the past few years have a shown a decent level of consistency and led to the understanding of the idea that the people are highly integrated towards the idea of making sure that they can improvise their current functioning with the help of designated amount of improvements. Some of the trends that have been constant comprises of security, software defined management and the use of wireless. These three aspects have continued to gain the attention of the people with the huge amount of innovation that has been added up for the beneficiary context of these developments and with the virtues of consideration that has been initiated by the growth and development of these technologies.

Security

Security is one of the most integral aspect of the networking trends. Every communication aspect of technical encouragement mainly focuses on the idea of making sure that substantial amount of knowledge has been acquired for the better protection of the users and to make sure that a proper sense of prosperity and communication has been maintained throughout for the determination of the results. There are multiple aspects that are making the idea of network security a complete challenge (Yan & Yu, 2015). The growing use of personal devices, new mobile operating systems and various other factors have contributed to the idea that it would be extremely difficult to ensure the proper maintenance of the networking system and to prevent every possibilities threat in terms of using the systems. Here, the idea of using mobile networks, VPNs and roaming users have to be included to make sure that the traditional boundaries are being properly tested and secured for the better security advocacy.

Which software-development methodology would be best if an organization needed to develop a software tool for a small group of users in the marketing department? Why? Which implementation methodology should they use? Why? Give an example of a company who uses specific software for marketing.

When developing a software tool for a small group of users within the marketing department, the Agile software development methodology emerges as the optimal choice. This approach offers several key advantages that align perfectly with the specific requirements of this scenario.

Firstly, Agile's iterative and incremental nature allows for rapid development cycles and continuous feedback loops. The team can build and release small, functional parts of the software quickly, receiving valuable input from the marketing team at each stage. This ensures that the software is built to meet their specific needs and avoids wasting time on features that aren't valuable.

Secondly, Agile's inherent flexibility is crucial for adapting to the dynamic nature of marketing needs. Marketing strategies and requirements can shift quickly, and Agile allows the development team to adjust the plan accordingly, ensuring the software remains relevant and effective.

Thirdly, Agile emphasizes collaboration between developers and users. This ensures the marketing team is actively involved in the development process, providing valuable input and ensuring the software meets their expectations. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of ownership and ensures the final product aligns perfectly with the marketing team's vision.

Within the Agile framework, the Scrum implementation methodology provides a structured and efficient approach. Scrum utilizes short development cycles called sprints, daily stand-up meetings, and regular reviews, keeping the project on track and allowing for continuous improvement. This structured approach ensures that progress is made consistently, and any potential roadblocks are identified and addressed promptly.

A prime example of a company that utilizes its own software for marketing is HubSpot. HubSpot offers a comprehensive suite of tools for marketing automation, email marketing, CRM, and more. They likely employ an Agile methodology to develop and improve their software, allowing them to quickly adapt to the evolving needs of their users. This agile approach enables HubSpot to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing marketing landscape.

In conclusion, for a small group of users in the marketing department, the Agile methodology, with Scrum implementation, is the ideal approach for software development. This combination fosters collaboration, flexibility, and continuous improvement, ensuring the software is tailored to the specific needs of the marketing team and delivered efficiently. By embracing Agile principles, organizations can empower their marketing teams with innovative software tools that drive success

What are the differences between a data warehouse and a data mart? 

 

The main difference between the two databases is their size and approach. While a data warehouse serves as the global database of a business and stores data about any aspect of the company, a data mart stores a small amount of data related to a specific business department or project. Similarly, a data warehouse collects data from a wide variety of sources, whereas a data mart typically collects data from the central database, the data warehouse. This, in turn, means that a data warehouse has a much larger storage capacity than a data mart and a much more complex and difficult to design architecture. In addition, the implementation process of a data warehouse is more complex and time-consuming —it usually takes several months or even years— while that of a data mart can be solved in a few months since it gathers a much smaller amount of data and it has a simpler structure.

Carrying on with the example of the educational system, we could say that a data warehouse is the place where all the documents of an educational center are stored, while a data mart would be the place where each teacher or group of teachers keep the documentation relevant to their subject. 

Below, we explore in more detail the main distinctions between a data warehouse and a data mart:

Data-Warehouse-vs-Data-Mart-EN

Referring to the main differences between a data warehouse and a data mart, while a data warehouse is used as an organisation's central data repository, a data mart is a more specific data warehouse. 

  • A data warehouse facilitates the data integration and general business decision making process of the company, while a data mart assists in more specific strategic decision making.

  • The goal of a data warehouse is to provide an integrated and consistent environment for all of the company's data assets. In contrast, a data mart is an integrated environment for data pertaining to a specific business department.

  • In other words, a data warehouse has a general approach and stores information and data relating to the entire company. In contrast, a data mart has a specific focus and integrates information from a specific business area or department.

  • The design process of a data warehouse is complex and does not have to be based on a dimensional model. On the other hand, the design process of a data mart is easier and is always based on a dimensional model.

  • In terms of data types, a data warehouse contains detailed data that is non-volatile in structure and can vary over time. A data mart, on the other hand, mainly contains consolidated and ready-made data to meet the information needs of department or business area managers.

  • A data warehouse and a data mart are quite different in scope. A data mart is a narrow database, in the sense that it stores data relating to a particular department or aspect of the business. Each department or business area can have its own data mart. A data warehouse, on the other hand, stores data linked to the entire company and to any aspect of the business activity. It acts as a source of information for any area of the organisation.

  • In this sense, a data warehouse collects data from a large number of sources. Typically, a data mart stores data from a small number of sources and, in fact, the main source of origin of a data mart is usually the central data warehouse.

  • data warehouse typically has a size or capacity ranging from 100 GB to 1TB. In contrast, a data mart typically has a capacity of less than 100 GB.

  • Finally, a data warehouse requires an implementation period of several months to several years. In contrast, a data mart can be implemented in a few months.

Key differences: data warehouses vs. data lakes

A data warehouse and a data lake are two related but fundamentally different technologies. While data warehouses store structured data, a lake is a centralized repository that allows you to store any data at any scale. A data lake offers more storage options, has more complexity, and has different use cases compared to a data warehouse. Key points of difference are given below.

Data sources

Both data lakes and warehouses can have unlimited data sources. However, data warehousing requires you to design your schema before you can save the data. You can only load structured data into the system. Conversely, data lakes have no such requirements. They can store unstructured and semi-structured data, such as web server logs, clickstreams, social media, and sensor data.

Preprocessing

A data warehouse typically requires preprocessing before storage. Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) tools are used to clean, filter, and structure data sets beforehand. In contrast, data lakes hold any data. You have the flexibility to choose if you want to perform preprocessing or not. Organizations typically use Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) tools. They load the data in the lake first and transform it only when required.

Data quality

A data warehouse tends to be more reliable as you can perform processing beforehand. Several functions like de-duplication, sorting, summarizing, and verification can be done in advance to assure data accuracy. Duplicates or erroneous and unverified data may end up in a data lake if no checks are being done ahead of time.

Performance

A data warehouse is designed for the fastest query performance. Business users prefer data warehouses so they can generate reports more efficiently. In contrast, data lake architecture prioritizes storage volume and cost over performance. You get a much higher storage volume at a lower cost, and you can still access data at reasonable speeds.

 

Characteristics Data Warehouse Data Lake
Data

Relational data from transactional systems, operational databases, and line of business applications

All data, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured

Schema

Often designed prior to the data warehouse implementation but also can be written at the time of analysis

In Indiana University traditional data warehouse is unable to create large data storage. Further it shows any errors and imposed rules on data. The early binding method is disadvantage. It process longer time to get enterprise data warehouse (EDW) to initiate and running. We need to design our total EDW, from every business rule through outset. The late binding architecture is most flexible to bind data to business rules in data modeling through processing. Health catalyst late binding is flexible and raw data is available in data warehouse. It process result by 90 days and stores IU data without any errors.

Ethical Implications and Sustainable Leadership in the Post-Pandemic Environment

thical Implications and Sustainable Leadership in the Post-Pandemic Environment

The ethical implications and impacts of business objectives and sustainable Leadership have become increasingly important in today’s business environment. As society becomes more conscious of the impact of business on the environment and society, companies are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable and ethical practices (Carroll, 1991). Business objectives, such as increasing profitability or expanding market share, can sometimes conflict with the needs and interests of stakeholders, such as employees, customers, and the environment (Friedman, 1970). Sustainable Leadership, on the other hand, is focused on balancing economic, social and environmental considerations to create long-term value for all stakeholders (Elkington, 1997).

Business objectives can positively and negatively impact stakeholders, depending on how they are pursued (Carroll, 1991). For example, a company that prioritizes cost-cutting measures over employee well-being may negatively impact the health and safety of its workers (Smith, 2018). On the other hand, a company that prioritizes social responsibility and sustainability may create positive impacts, such as reducing its environmental footprint and supporting the well-being of its workers and local communities (Jones, 2019).

Similarly, sustainable Leadership can have positive and negative implications for stakeholders (Elkington, 1997). For example, a leader who prioritizes sustainability may make decisions that benefit the environment and society at the expense of the company’s financial performance, which in turn may negatively impact shareholders (Johnson, 2020). On the other hand, a leader who prioritizes sustainable development may create long-term value for the company, its shareholders, and all other stakeholders (Williams, 2021).

It is important for business leaders to consider the ethical implications and impacts of business objectives and sustainable Leadership and to engage effectively and responsibly with stakeholders to maintain competitive advantages, especially in the post-Covid-19 business environment (World Economic Forum, 2021). Sustainable Leadership is a practice that balances economic, social, and environmental considerations to create long-term value for all stakeholders (Elkington, 1997). It is an approach that prioritizes the well-being of society and the environment rather than focusing solely on economic gain (Carroll, 1991). This style of Leadership emphasizes the need for an integrated and holistic approach that considers the long-term impacts of business decisions on society and the environment, as well as its immediate economic outcomes (World Economic Forum, 2021). This concept is vital to understand the importance of taking into account the social and environmental factors in the decision-making process of a business.

Business objectives refer to the specific goals or targets that a company aims to achieve (Friedman, 1970). These objectives can include increasing profitability, expanding market share, or increasing brand awareness (Jones, 2019). Business objectives are crucial to a company’s success as they provide a clear direction for decision-making and resource allocation, aligning the company’s efforts towards a common goal. However, when business objectives need to be properly aligned with ethical considerations and the needs of stakeholders, they can create conflicts and negative impacts (Smith, 2018).

Stakeholders are individuals or groups affected by a business’s actions (Carroll, 1991). They can include customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders, and the community (Johnson, 2020). Stakeholders are crucial for the long-term success of a business, as they provide the necessary resources and support for a company to operate. Effective stakeholder engagement is important for businesses to identify and address different stakeholders’ needs and concerns and create mutually beneficial solutions (Williams, 2021).

In the current business environment, companies are increasingly pressured to adopt sustainable and ethical practices that align with their stakeholders’ needs (World Economic Forum, 2021). Consumers, investors and other stakeholders are becoming more conscious of the impact of business on society and the environment, and they expect companies to act responsibly (Smith, 2018). Companies prioritizing sustainable Leadership and effective stakeholder engagement are better positioned to create long-term value and competitive advantages (Elkington, 1997).

It is important to note that these concepts are interrelated and impact each other (Carroll, 1991). Sustainable Leadership, for example, requires an understanding of the needs and expectations of stakeholders (Johnson, 2020) and the alignment of business objectives with ethical and sus

Ethical Implications and Sustainable Leadership in the Post-Pandemic Environment

thical Implications and Sustainable Leadership in the Post-Pandemic Environment

The ethical implications and impacts of business objectives and sustainable Leadership have become increasingly important in today’s business environment. As society becomes more conscious of the impact of business on the environment and society, companies are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable and ethical practices (Carroll, 1991). Business objectives, such as increasing profitability or expanding market share, can sometimes conflict with the needs and interests of stakeholders, such as employees, customers, and the environment (Friedman, 1970). Sustainable Leadership, on the other hand, is focused on balancing economic, social and environmental considerations to create long-term value for all stakeholders (Elkington, 1997).

Business objectives can positively and negatively impact stakeholders, depending on how they are pursued (Carroll, 1991). For example, a company that prioritizes cost-cutting measures over employee well-being may negatively impact the health and safety of its workers (Smith, 2018). On the other hand, a company that prioritizes social responsibility and sustainability may create positive impacts, such as reducing its environmental footprint and supporting the well-being of its workers and local communities (Jones, 2019).

Similarly, sustainable Leadership can have positive and negative implications for stakeholders (Elkington, 1997). For example, a leader who prioritizes sustainability may make decisions that benefit the environment and society at the expense of the company’s financial performance, which in turn may negatively impact shareholders (Johnson, 2020). On the other hand, a leader who prioritizes sustainable development may create long-term value for the company, its shareholders, and all other stakeholders (Williams, 2021).

Arguments Against Capital Punishment

 

The very first argument which is made against the death penalty revolves around the risk of executing innocent people. In the case of making a mistake in ruling, there needs to be an awareness that this is not rectifiable. It’s an argument based on authority, leaning on the legal system’s fallibility (ICDP, 2021). The assumption here is that judicial systems are prone to error, and the finality of execution leaves no room for correction. Counterexamples include cases where wrongfully convicted individuals were exonerated, often after lengthy periods, underscoring the potential for irreversible errors.

In the US, family law differs by state. The adoption of kids by same-sex couples is legal throughout the country as from June 2015 due to the decision of the Supreme Court on the Obergefell v. Hodges civil case. However, Mississippi never had its same-gender adoption ban get struck until March 2016. Nevertheless, policies concerning adoption differ significantly between jurisdictions, and some states accept adoption by all couples, whereas others ban unmarried couples from adopting kids. When it comes to the case of Brunei, same-sex adoption is illegal, fostering or parenting is illegal (Muchransyah, 421).

Should a Teenage Girl Who Is Declared Brain Dead Be Removed From Life Support Against Parent’s Wishes To Keep Her Alive? Introduction

In medical and legal fields, brain death is unequivocally acknowledged as the irreversible cessation of all brain activity, making the possibility of recuperation a nullity. However, the stark clarity of this diagnosis often becomes muddied when juxtaposed against deeply ingrained cultural, personal, or religious beliefs, a conflict that becomes especially poignant in cases involving minors. This essay explores the multifaceted ethical quandary of whether a teenage girl, once medically determined as brain dead, should be detached from life-supporting systems in defiance of her parents’ ardent desire to prolong her physiological existence.

Is the Death Penalty Effective for or Against?

Is the Death Penalty Effective for or Against?

Death penalty is a form of punishment imposed by the government on an offender sentenced to death after persuasion by a court of law of a criminal offense. It is usually practiced as a form of punishment for crimes not tolerated within the state to reduce their occurrence. Although it is viewed as the ultimate punishment our society can give for one’s action, it is also considered a violation of human rights that promotes violence in our community. By referring to historical records, this practice is regarded as the cornerstone in developing justice and providing peace within the state because of its various benefits. It is a way of removing dangerous elements within the country. This essay aims to support the argumentation for practicing the death penalty within the state.

Why We Should Abolish Capital Punishment

It is not amusing that some states and jurisdictions still use the death penalty. The death sentence violates legal procedures and equal rights to legal protection. The U.S., Japan, China, and Saudi Arabia, are among the minority jurisdictions where capital punishment is still in effect despite being abolished in more than 70% of the world’s nations (Banner, 2022). Capital punishment is a divisive topic in the United States, with some states maintaining it while others have outlawed it or placed moratoriums on its use. The death penalty has been abolished in three states: Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire (Banner, 2022).

Borders have taken on substantial significance in the modern world because of the complicated geopolitical environment and escalating national safety challenges. In addition to acting as physical restrictions, borders function as economic, political, and social lines of segmentation that influence how countries collaborate.

Rising nationalism, protectionist policies, and the emergence of populist figures are characteristics of the current global setting.

Preparing for the Final Essay Using Annotated Bibliography

A bibliography plays an essential role in preparing the final essay. Annotations help understand the sources and their contribution to a chosen topic better than analysis. This preparation includes critically assessing each source’s strengths and weaknesses, determining key arguments, and judging how relevant this particular source is in relation to one’s chosen perspective (Visser et al., 2021). Such annotations develop a logical and informed position when giving the paper’s findings. Through the interaction with different sources, the bibliography guarantees that the final essay is extensive and well-supported to address some counterarguments.

Should Abortion Be Allowed Around the World?

Debates relating to multifaceted abortion have remained relevant from historical times to date. Proponents of pro-choice justify abortion as they highlight the significance of reproductive autonomy. Pro-choice argues that women have the right to make decisions about their bodies. On the other hand, pro-life proponents recognize that abortion involves the termination of a developing human being and raises critical questions about the rights of the unborn child. Research by Huq et al. indicates abortion involves elimination through the murder of a living being and should not be allowed anywhere in the world.

Article Review on the Ethics of Abortion

 

The debate over the ethics of abortion revolves around the question of whether or not the fetus is a living being, the rights of the pregnant woman as opposed to those of the unborn, and the situations of anguish and suffering that may surround a pregnant woman. Many people argue that abortion is a woman’s individual choice and must therefore be a legal part of society today. As stated in an article entitled “When human life begins is an issue of politics, not biology,” a new law in Texas is aimed at eliminating nearly all abortions within the state (Sarkar, 2021).

Consequences of Status of Abortion Rights for American Families

Abortion rights are one of the most divisive issues in American culture. Since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973, abortion rights have been a hot topic in the U.S. The U.S. Supreme Court invalidated legal abortions in 2022, leaving states to decide, reigniting the dispute and deepening the rift between pro-life and pro-choice Americans (Hull & Hoffer, 2021). Abortion rights affect more than politics and law as this problem fundamentally impacts American families, affecting personal choices, ethics, and values.

However, these tenets in applicability have met specific resistance in society and the legal paradigms. The Ashley Good case provides instances where conflicts arise between the five principles and the legal doctrines, as seen in June 2016 when the court issued an order authorizing Susan M. Joseph, her temporary guardian power, to use all medically approved treatments but limited to feeding by force to counter her chronic Anorexia nervosa

An Argument on Why Abortion Is Not a Good Practice Within Society

 

Globally, abortion remains a highly controversial issue that has sparked legal conflicts across society, raising questions on whether it should be criminalized or decriminalized. According to medical practitioners, abortion is a medical process that consciously leads to the termination of a pregnancy before the fetus is born. (Singh, 2018). Based on this definition, the critics of abortion argue that it is an unethical practice to do since it involves the murder of an innocent living fetus. This has made some nations term it illegal or formulate legislations that make it overly regulated with the objection that it poses legal, ethical, and religious concerns to society. However, others have based their arguments on human rights by arguing that women have a right to safe and legal abortion. The U.S. is one of the countries where Women’s rights to abortion are highly contested. The argument on the legality of abortion is based on the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Roe V. Wade case, which guaranteed women’s rights to abortion within the first twelve weeks of the first trimester. However, when its merits and demerits are weighed, it becomes evident that it harms women, society, and the innocent fetus more than reasonable. Thus, abortion is not a good thing to do. This essay will detail an argument on why abortion is not a good practice within society.

Constitutional Amendments on Rights of Privacy Discourse

Although the right to privacy is practiced, many controversial questions arise on whether the US Constitution provides and protects the right to privacy in ways not captured in the Bill of Rights. A famous judge, Robert Bork, claimed that the right to privacy does not exist, and the court does not have guidelines for such rights as the right lacks substantial meaning (Wuest & Joanna, 964-992). He criticized the decisions made by Justice Douglas in the Griswold v. Connecticut case for ruling out that the Constitution did not safeguard the right to marital privacy when the state-imposed restrictions on contraceptives. According to Wuest & Joanna (964-992),

Abortion in the View of Marquis and Thomson

The morality of abortion is one of the most debated topics, and this is because of the Morality that touches on the legal, medicinal, religious, and moral aspects of society. The arguments against abortion are usually centered on the belief that a fetus is a human being and therefore has the right to Live. While the arguments against it are usually centered on the disabilities of the fetus in that it is unable to have feelings. Aside from that, arguments against abortion also argue that the woman has a right to her own body and should therefore be able to choose whether they keep the pregnancy or not. An example of a great philosopher against abortion is Marquis, who considers abortion wrong by centering his arguments on the wrongness of killing a fetus because it has the right to life and a future just like any other human being.

Pro-Choice and Pro-Life Arguments

 

The pro-choice argument proposes that women can decide what happens to their bodies. Consequently, women can decide when to abort (Bernstein & Manata, 2019). The welfare of women is advanced in circumstances where they have access to safe and legal abortion. The consensus is that making abortion illegal does not prevent women from undergoing operations that may result in complications.

Historical and Cultural Perspectives on Abortion

Historical and Cultural Perspectives on Abortion

According to Romanis (2023), Abortion attitudes have changed over time and between civilizations. The practice has been legally accepted in some nations and outlawed in others (Bernstein & Manata, 2019). Countries such as Albania, Canada, and Australia legally allow abortion, while nations such as Egypt, Jamaica, and Iraq. Even though abortion is considered to be illegal in these countries, it is allowed in permitted in situations that are considered to be lifesaving.

Culture and religion are other factors that significantly affect how abortion is viewed. Different denominations have different views on the morality of abortion (Romanis, 2023). The catholic denomination deems abortion a sin and advocates against the practice. The Muslim denomination only allows abortion to be carried out under certain conditions.

Ethical and Moral Theories and Abortion

The morality of abortion can be examined using ethical and moral theories. Utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics are three important ethical philosophies. The utilitarianism theory considers an act good if it increases happiness or pleasure (Lane & Robert, 2022). In this case, the pain and suffering the reduce. The morality of abortion based on the utilitarian theory is accessed based on its effect on the unborn, father, and mother.

The deontology approach places a strong emphasis on the parties’ moral obligations. It claims that specific actions, regardless of their outcomes, are essentially moral or immoral. According to the theory morality of abortion depends if the act violates the unborn baby’s rights. In situations where abortion interferes with another person’s rights, it is considered wrong.

Lastly, the virtues theory emphasizes the characters of the persons involved. Virtues, in this case, would entail honesty, companionship, and courage, to name a few. Virtue ethicists examine abortion’s morality regarding how well the individuals involved reflect their virtues.

Pro on Abortion Topic in Law Terms

 

Abortion has been a tenacious discussion, an extremely irritable and fervently questioned point all over the planet. This endless discussion is about whether the abortion is murder or for the mother’s well-being. Fetus removal sees variations in plenty of ways. It might be the most proper or appropriate strategy in certain circumstances. It is a lady’s normal choice to have a kid, and on the off chance that she does, she ought to have the option to keep it or take more time to work on her status. Abortion should remain legitimate since choosing to have or not have a fetus removed depends on the people in question.

The discussion has gotten two gatherings; defenders of abortion calling themselves pro-choice (supportive of decision) and rivals calling themselves pro-life (favorable to life). Favorable decision advocates contend that the option to pick abortion is a lady’s right that ought not to be restricted by political or strict power. It bests any case to one side for an undeveloped organism or fetus. They guarantee that pregnant ladies will depend on hazardous illicit abortion assuming there is no lawful decision. Then again, Pro-life adversaries propose that particular human life starts at origination and that abortion is subsequently the corrupt butcher of a guiltless individual. They contend that fetus removal makes torments the unborn youngster and that it is out of line to permit abortion while couples who can’t imagine naturally are holding on to take on.

Is abortion basis on ability ethically justifiable?

 

Abortion is one of the most contentious topics in modern history. To promote comprehension of the controversy, humans attempt to provide main perspectives on abortion unbiasedly. They emphasize the moral arguments and underlying issues rather than any external considerations involved. Induced abortion is the most contentious type of abortion.

Abortion: Freedom Versus Illegality

A trend and projection of abortions in the U.S. conducted by Jones and Jerman (2022) indicated that women performed 926,190 abortions in 2014, an equivalent of 14.6 abortions per 1000 women of reproductive age. Jones and Jerman (2022) estimated that before women of reproductive age attain 45 years, 30% of them would have performed an abortion. These statistics show how abortion is common and affects many women in the U.S. Due to the high number of persons affected, the government should carefully consider human rights and health issues surrounding induced abortions to ensure women are not disadvantaged and adversely impacted by the decisions they make about abortions. One of the most common debate on abortion issues is whether the procedure should be legalized and performed at the discretion of the person carrying the pregnancy

Most countries consider ending a pregnancy illegal unless the pregnancy is proven medically to be putting the mother’s life at risk. While other people argue that life is human life is valuable, others, however, say that everyone has a right to choose whether and when to have children.

How Politics Influences Laws

The purpose of politics may be defined as maintaining some set of mostly legal principles or institutions. In such a scenario, certain institutions and values political understanding become almost equal to the genuine legal understanding and comprehension of the same values or institutions. Second, the political realm may see the law as nothing more than a tool for achieving certain political ends. In this instance, politics has no stance toward the rule of law. In conclusion, political actors may see the rule of law as a barrier to achieving certain political aims. One of two things may happen here: politics wins, or the law loses (Kelsen, 2022)

Is Sex-Selective Abortion Morally Acceptable?

Sex-selective abortion is not ethically acceptable. First is significant to understand the difference between unrestricted abortion and “sex-selective abortion. Women have the basic right to decide when to have a child, several children to sire, and the right to bodily integrity, free from male enslavement of body invasion against her will. Even though women have the right not to be pregnant, be a parent, or have a child, these rights must not extend to choosing the type of child a child bring up. Sex selection implies there is no respect for humankind. Choosing sex is a “commodifying” practice that makes people things (de Silva de Alwis, 2018).

Methodology: Evaluation of Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion

Since time immemorial, the abortion issue has constantly sparked massive controversy globally, dividing people into two groups.

Social Control- Roe v Wade- a Direct Attack on Women’s Rights and Freedom

Introduction

In January 1973, the Supreme court made a bill that protected women and allowed them to decide whether to proceed with an abortion or deliver. Texas’ criminal abortion prohibitions were subsequently repealed (Grossi, 2021). Among the most basic rights, the American constitution assures the right to procreate. Most judges decided that the verdict in Roe’s case may have a profound and instant consequence on the life of millions of American women. Just prior to Roe’s case, the number of illegal abortions in America was not less than 200,000 annually and sometimes could go as far as 1 million abortions.

Abortion refers to the intentional ending or termination of human pregnancy which, in most cases is usually in the first twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy.

Metaphors are also commonly used in literary works as techniques in which different things are compared to each other indicating similar qualities. Specifically, metaphors play an essential role in bringing two unrelated items into comparison to add clarity and creativity of figures of speech to literary texts.

This Palahniuk work reminded me of his stylistic set-up, apparent from precedents like the “Fight Club” and “Choke,” in the comedic overtones.

Palahniuk uses comedy to pervade the short story, subverting our conception of success and happiness. The protagonist embarks on the absurdities of life in Orlando, from marriage to home ownership. The path he takes becomes a satirical comment on society’s expectations. The humour is biting and dark, reflecting as one reads it, putting us reflect on the absurdity of their pursuits.

The Transforming Power of Courtly Love in the Knight of the Cart Tale

Introduction

Courtly love represents the ultimate fusion of medieval chivalric ideals, aristocratic fashions, and romantic fantasies, captivating nobles and commoners alike. Among the undisputed pioneers of this popular genre was the 12th-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes, who wrote commentaries on Arthurian classics such as The Legend of Lancelot and The Quest for the Holy Grail[1]. But his most significant impact came from his portrayal of a social relationship devoid of drama, lack of emotion, deep passion, imagination, and morality. Charioteer’s Tale embodies Chretien’s signature innovation in narrative. The story follows Lancelot trying to rescue Queen Guinevere after she is kidnapped, forcing him to reconcile his conflicting feelings about his duty to King Arthur and his secret love for the queen. Although he always played King Arthur, Chrétien used the space to engage in deep conversations and discuss political and social issues. Lancelot and Guinevere’s relationship transcends the boundaries of courtly love and conflict with religion. This article analyses the development of the theme of courtly love in “Chariots” as a historical change in the creation of medieval historical literature.[2] His endorsement of adultery sparked controversy and led to the emergence of a modern philosophy defined by the concept of freedom.

Case Study: Examining Jane Bennet and Mr. Bingley’s Marriage Dynamics Utilizing Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Background of Jane Bennet and Mr. Bingley

Abraham Maslow’s psychological framework, or Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, is a pivotal lens for understanding the intricate dynamics of Jane Bennet and Mr. Bingley’s relationship in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” In “Pride and Prejudice,” Carol Howard’s insightful tutelage accentuates the profound societal issues embedded in Austen’s narrative, providing a backdrop for the characters’ interactions. The complexity of Jane Bennet’s personality, described as tender and contrasting with the extroverted nature of her sister Elizabeth, sets the stage for a nuanced exploration (Sosteric and Raktovic 20).

Exploring Moral Ambiguity in Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard To Find”

In her short story “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” Flannery O’Connor penetrates the intricacy of human morality, throwing existential questions right in the face of those who read it. The story moves around the encounter with a criminal, The Misfit, by a family, and then it becomes an engaging read on good and evil. It’s a subtle exploration of human nature, moral choice, and the consequences on the choices. O’Connor deconstructs the general understanding of good and evil with her artful narration that shows how all moral concepts are delicate and makes the readers aware of the existential situations of the characters.

Perseverance in “The Invisible Man” and “Speech to the Osages”

In fiction and non-fiction, the core theme is perseverance, a vital element associated with the American identity. The portrayal of Little Breeches, a character in “The Soft-Hearted Sioux,” illustrates perseverance at difficult times. Little Breeches is tenacious and determined even in the worst situation of orphan hood. The narrator says, “He had been left to die in the wilderness, but he managed not only never to get hurt by it all.” In “The Soft-Hearted Sioux,” Zitkala-Sa’s Ohiyesa is a paragon of persistence as he grapples with challenges associated with accommodation and self; determination. Charles Eastman, more popularly known as Ohiyesa, is adamant about being a faithful Sioux even though he becomes an American man.

Medieval Christianity Between 500 and 1000 Ce to Early Christianity

The transition from medieval Christianity to early Christianity was fundamental in transforming the history of faith between 500 and 1000 CE (McGrath 73). Early Christianity arose from the persecution, making believers adhere to the decentralized structures. However, with the Roman Empire adopting Christianity, faith was transformed by their integration with the political and societal structures (McGrath 96). However, in medieval Christianity, the church gained popularity and became powerful as it entailed secular and religious aspects. During this time, political turmoil made the church a

Understanding the Complexity of Uncleanliness and Its Social Implications

Jesus abolishes the distinction between the holy and the impure in Mark 7. Gentile women, males who are deaf or mute, and even his followers (who had not cleansed their hands) are the three categories of people Jesus deals with who were considered “unclean” by first-century Jewish society. Upon closer inspection, a common thread emerges from these seemingly unrelated categories: A social and religious filter, the concept of impurity allowed the exclusion of individuals who did not fulfill particular criteria.

Evolution of Differences Between GAAP and IFRS in Financial Accounting

The most significant disadvantage is that the system relies on one allocation base, and the product costs cannot be appropriately reflected. For instance, such high-volume products could be overcosted because the price might need to appropriately reflect the complexity of production workers or other resources. On the other hand, low-quantity products may be undervalued, leading to a skewed idea regarding their real cost implications. This difference in cost allocations can cause serious consequences regarding decision-making processes within an organization.

Using Accounting Information for Decision Making—Financial Information and Budgets

Introduction

The need for financial information for decision-making necessitates the preparation of various financial statements to provide the business owners, potential investors, and other interested parties with information about the performance of the business (Cioca, 2020). To meet different decision makers’ diverse financial information needs, accountants prepare four basic financial statements that summarize the business’s overall performance. The four basic financial statements are a Statement of comprehensive income, a Statement of financial position, a Statement of change in equity, and a Statement of cash flow. In this regard, this paper discusses the importance of these financial statements in business decision-making. Besides, the paper evaluates the concepts of forecasting, budgeting, and strategic planning in supporting the organization’s success. More importantly, this report provides an in-depth analysis of various organization responsibility centers and the rights assigned to each responsibility center.

Communication Skills Are Essential to Being a Successful Accountant; Discuss Three Soft Skills Necessary for Today’s Professionals Introduction

Like other professionals, accountants are required to have soft skills besides the technical and specialized skills that significantly assist in effectively and successfully performing their job in different contexts. According to Berry & Routon (2020), Soft skills are fundamental for development as an accountant due to playing a significant role in improving workplace communication and subsequent performance. Critical thinking and decision-making, time management, teamwork, and collaboration are essential soft skills for accountants to effectively perform their duties and responsibilities within the organization. Time management is an essential soft skill for the accountant due to long lists of tasks and duties, commitment to the clients, and strict deadlines, which requires the professional to have sufficient time management skills. Besides, time management for accountants involves understanding and being aware of the time standard processes and tasks would take to complete leading to effective planning and meeting deadlines (Tan & Laswad, 2018).

Reflection on Personal and Professional Benefits Gained During the Module, Including New Skills and Knowledge Acquired

What?

I have demonstrated teamwork skills while studying for this module by being on time, reliable, prepared, and dedicated to my team. I put myself in the position of listening to others’ perspectives and was also able to manage constructive conflict among my team members. There was much disagreement about when to have meetings because different team members’ schedules conflicted, but I was able to prioritize my team and ensure flexibility. I also brought my professionalism and communication skills to work by respecting others’ opinions and ensuring messages were delivered clearly and concisely. Since I needed more creativity, I asked my teammates and tutor questions and used the internet for a more comprehensive search. This experience forced me to think more critically than I previously had, establish goals, and adhere to deadlines. Due to this lesson, I now have a deeper understanding of the principles and practices required to operate ethically and successfully as a professional in my area.

An Analysis of How Corporate Governance Impacts Capital Structure Decisions

Introduction

The credit rating vested within major syndicates is a critical parameter of consideration when undertaking funding activities granted in a firm. Moreover, the disposition stems from the need to hold a subtler fiscal position where the firm’s leverage imbalance is essential. The proportionate level of external financing needs to be reviewed before allocating any form of debt.

Accounting Treatment of R&D in Different Countries and Recommendation of Which Treatment Is Better Than Others

Activities that generate or enhance goods or processes are included in the accounting for research and development (Mazzi et al., 2019). The main issue for businesses is that research and development (R&D) expenses cannot be capitalized since their future benefits are unlikely to be realized (Ertuğrul, 2020). Several nations’ accounting regulations mandate that businesses expense all R&D costs as they are incurred.

Assessing IT Systems for Health Information Management (HIM)

Electronic health records

Electronic health records (EHRs) have gradually replaced the more archaic paper charts that formerly accompanied each patient (EHR). Electronic health records (EHRs) are digital versions of paper medical charts kept up-to-date electronically and made available to doctors and other medical professionals safely and reliably. Although EHRs include patients’ medical and treatment histories, their scope is meant to extend well beyond the standard clinical data collected in a provider’s office, allowing for a more all-encompassing picture of a patient’s care to be gleaned from the information(Corey et al.,2020). This is because EHR systems are intended to serve a far broader purpose than only collecting clinical data. Electronic health records (EHRs) are an essential and challenging part of health information technology because they contain a patient’s medical history, diagnoses, prescriptions, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergy information, radiographic images, and laboratory and diagnostic test results (IT).

The Role of Planaria as a Model Organism in Understanding Drug Effects and Human Health Introduction

The Role of Planaria as a Model Organism in Understanding Drug Effects and Human Health

Introduction

Studying how drugs affect living things involves examining simple animals like planaria worms. Studying how people react to medicine can show how much a drug helps body tissue heal. This could be useful for helping human tissue repair and grow. Studying how calming drugs affect planaria’s healing helps us understand how they might affect the human body. This information is really important for making healthcare better and creating new medicines. Pharmaceutical companies make money by knowing the positive and negative effects of a drug when it becomes available to the public (Deochand et al., 2018). Healthcare workers need to know how medicines affect the body’s ability to heal and grow to take better care of patients. New information tells us that it is important to know how drugs work when testing them on people. Studying how drugs affect planaria worms can help us learn how they might affect people, especially how they help heal and grow new tissue. This paper discusses why studying planaria’s ability to regrow body parts helps understand how drugs work (Mohammed et al., 2018). Studying planaria can help people stay healthy. This study is important because it helps to create new drugs, healthcare choices, and basic scientific knowledge.

Effect of Change in Temperature on the Spring Constant of a Metallic Steel Spring

This physics investigation aims to examine the effect of temperature change on the spring constant of a metallic steel spring.

Introduction

This investigation is linked to my long interest in and participation in Bungee jumping. In this game, I am particularly interested in how people are able to jump from great heights on elastic cords. This investigation is linked to my long interest in and participation in Bungee jumping. In this game, I am particularly interested in how people are able to jump from great heights on elastic cords. I realized that a person’s weight on the spring is similar to a mass hanging on a spring, and the extension of this spring could be a subject weight or force that acts on it.

The spring constant is the force ratio of a spring to its displacement (Dwivedi 1). The spring constant is calculated through the following general formula;

Figure 1: A Representation of Loaded Spring

Figure 1: A Representation of Loaded Spring

Different factors could influence the constant of the spring represented in Figure 1 above. According to Garrett (2), the spring’s length, geometry, and material properties could directly influence the spring constant. Additionally, temperature could affect the spring constant due to changes in thermal expansion when the spring is heated or cooled. The interest of this investigation is to increase the temperature and examine the impact of this increase on the spring constant of a steel spring while controlling the spring’s length, geometry, and material properties.

Experimental and Numerical Simulation of Interaction Between Out-of-Phase Double Cavitation Bubbles and Rigid Walls

Abstract

By using boundary integral approach, a computational model that accounts for the interactions between out-of-phase double cavitation and stiff walls is proposed in this document (BEM). On the surface near a stiff wall that is 30 degrees to vertical, bubbles as well as the free surface interact. From two perspectives, the investigation will be done. A dimensionless distance parameter, h expressing the distances between both the original bubble as well as the vertical plane intersecting with free surface and the stiff wall, will be used to investigate the bubble location. A variation in the elevation of the free surface is discovered to be dependent on h for large-scale bubbles bursting and forming two liquid jets. When h is small, the free surface would be anticipated to reach its maximum height on the hard wall, whereas the maximum arises far above bubble with larger values.

Does the Height of a Blood Drop Affect How It Lands on a Surface?

Introduction

Criminals always leave behind traces of evidence. It is the work of forensic scientists to go back to the crime scene, collect any traces left behind, and try to make sense of it. Blood spatter analysis is one of the most common ways these investigators try to collect evidence that could help in a criminal investigation. Blood spatter analysis is an experiment where scientists study the characteristics of bloodstain to determine the events that could help explain its origin. This analysis answers the question of whether the height from which a drop of blood drops affects the way it lands on the surface. Forensic scientists utilize this experiment to determine the shape, size, distribution, and location of the bloodstain. However, in this case, we use the experiment to determine the diameter of the bloodstain after dropping from different heights. Instead of using human blood,

Optimal Foraging and How Organisms Forage in Response to Environmental Factors Abstract

Organisms often need to forage to obtain food and survive. Foraging can be defined as the process of searching for and acquiring food (Benard, 2004). Different organisms have different strategies for foraging, which can be affected by environmental factors such as predator pressure, resource availability, and soil moisture (Altwegg & Guo, 2010). In this study, we looked at how different environmental factors can affect the foraging behavior of pillbugs. We found that pillbugs spent more time in the moist area when the soil moisture was low but spent more time in the dry area when the soil moisture was high. This suggests that pillbugs use different foraging strategies in response to environmental changes. Our results suggest that pillbugs can adapt their foraging behavior in response to environmental changes. This ability to adapt may be necessary for pillbugs to survive in a changing world.

How and to What Extent Can BCI Be Used To Assist Learning During Sleep

Abstract

Learning while sleeping is a long-standing human fantasy, although studies have revealed that humans are not aware of what transpires when sleeping. Nevertheless, an absence of conscious knowledge fails to rule out the premise that individuals discern and recollect occurrences when asleep. The distinct functions involved in the retention of memories are currently being studied at multiple tiers, spanning from molecular reactions to whole-brain engagement. The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technique is a potent tool for user-system connection. BCI technologies are implemented to give impaired persons recourse to the information offered through standard functions. This review aims to determine whether using BCI technology to facilitate learning in sleep is practical and effective. The study will examine how BCI may stimulate particular brain activity during sleep, ease recollection and consolidation, and encourage learning new concepts. A multidisciplinary approach will be used in the investigation, integrating electroencephalography (EEG) recordings with behavioural and subjective indicators of learning performance. The findings of this study will shed light on how BCI technology may be used to improve learning and cognitive function when a person is sleeping, having implications for educational settings and cognitive therapy.

Pedagogical Theory and Practice and Improving Student Learning Experience

 

Introduction

Pedagogy involves the performance of teaching accompanied with theories and practices that shape it. It directly links the act of teaching with culture, structure and mechanisms of student or learner control. Pedagogy may also refer to the process by which teaching activities, interactions, and assignments are structured in accordance to ideas that develop out of theories1. Pedagogy is influential when it is responsive, dynamic and flexible2. Salvatori defines pedagogy as “reflexive praxis”3. According to Salvatori pedagogy must be reflective, implying “that a teacher should be able and willing to interrogate the reasons” for theory adoption and “to inform the possibility that a specific theory and the practice that implements it might not be effective at certain times or in certain circumstances”4. In other words, when teachers engage in reflexive cycles that encompasses theorizing, practical use of ideas, and evaluation of results in light of specific institutional contexts and student population, that’s when pedagogy is most effective. The theories and practices of pedagogy help students improve their learning experiences in a number of ways5.

Exam Cheating, Its Causes and Effects

 

Introduction

The ability of a nation to compete effectively on the international front hinges on the quality of its education. With this in mind, it is okay to conclude that cheating in exams undermines the standard of education in a country and consequently hinders its ability to compete at the world stage. Indeed, students who cheat in exams become poor decision makers in their careers. Their productivity and level of integrity is adversely dented by their belief of having everything the easy way. Academic dishonesty is not new but with the increase in competition for jobs, most students have resorted to cheating in order to qualify for these jobs (Anderman and Johnston 75). The purpose of this paper is to research in detail the causes and effects of cheating in exams.

Why Homeschooling Is Bad: Essay Body Paragraph

As their strongest argument, skeptics generally maintain that homeschooled children do not receive the social interaction they need. At earlier stages of development, it is critical for children to socialize and advance their communication skills.

Children studying at home do not get this opportunity and are likely to have problems socializing and making friends later in life. An unsociable child is also prone to have troubles with peer acceptance – not least because homeschooling is still regarded as an oddity and deviation.

It is believed that homeschooled children lack social skills, and their parents bear huge expenses and have no time for themselves; on the other hand, homeschooling perfectly fits the child’s needs, is valued no less than public schooling, and creates closer family bonds; additionally, in contrast to public schools, homeschooling de-stresses children rather than distresses them.

Discrimination in School and Its Effects on Students

 

The vital issues in this case are; the existence and manifestation of racism in the classroom, its effect on the students, as well as their teachers. Another crucial issue is the general behavior of the students, with regard to their rude disposition.

The students are rude and discriminative. Their language, while addressing each other, is abusive and degrading. This language is used without any evidence of a justified confrontation and with lack of remorse. Words used such as ‘slow’, ‘comically stupid’ and ‘moron’ imply that the students think of themselves as more superior and use such shunning and degrading words to set themselves apart from the group they look down upon. They also shun the new boy, Roland and segregate him by not only ignoring his existence, but by also moving his desks away from their group simply because he is a black. They are also uncooperative and disunited.

Detrimental Effects of Academic Dishonesty Effects of academic dishonesty on students

Academic cheating may limit a student’s ability to achieve his or her desired education goals because some universities have strict admission requirements and often refuse to admit students with cases of academic dishonesty. Also, academic records can be demanded when students apply for internships in competitive organizations such as the United Nations and banks.

Generally, students found guilty of cheating often face serious disciplinary measures such as suspension from school. Extreme cases of academic cheating can lead to the expulsion of students from the school. Moreover, once a student has been found guilty of cheating in academics, people lose trust in him (Carrell, 2007).

Academic dishonesty is one of the contemporary challenges in the education sector. It is a multifaceted vice that occurs at individual and institution levels. Research findings indicate that cheating in academics has been increasing gradually over the past few years (Carrell, 2007). At present, lack of academic integrity is widespread in all echelons of education. For example, current studies in the US reveal that 70 percent of high school students engage in various forms of cheating (Carrell, 2007).

In Germany, about 74 percent of college students cheat in academics. Some of the common types of academic cheating include the following (Carrell, 2007). Plagiarism is an academic vice among many students. It refers to using academic publications without giving credit to authors. Cheating during examinations is another widespread type of academic dishonesty.

Other forms of cheating in academics include sabotaging students from completing their assignments, providing false references and data in research papers, and giving false excuses for not completing assignments on time. This paper argues that academic cheating causes social and moral problems at individual and society levels.

History of Academic Dishonesty

The notion of academic property was absent in the ancient period. In the past, there were no standard guidelines for publishing academic manuscripts. Thus, ancient scholars wrote books without ethical restrictions. Academics dishonesty is believed to have begun in the 19th century when tests and evaluation programs were introduced in learning institutions (Colnerud & Rosander, 2009).

In the 20th century, academic cheating became prevalent in many learning institutions in the US and Europe due to the clustering of students according to academic performance. The emphasis of meritocracy in academics compelled students to seek superior grades.

At present, academic misconduct is rampant in schools due to the following factors. The merit-based approach in education compels students to seek high academic grades to access high levels of education. This often leads to cheating because some students try to achieve academic excellence through unethical strategies. The social learning environment can motivate students to cheat. For instance, students that pass examinations through cheating can motivate others to do the same.

Prevalence of corruption in society influences students to be dishonest in academics. Teachers can unintentionally facilitate cheating in schools. For instance, unkind teachers often take punitive measures against students that fail to do assignments.

Where and How Sex Education Should Be Conducted Among the Young People?

 

Introduction

The early sexual participation of young people increases the risk of jeopardizing their education by dropping out of school. In addition, early sexual debut puts the health of teenagers at risk, particularly through sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancy. In spite of the eminent consequences of early sexual acts, statistics show that about 95% of Americans have sex even before they get married (para. 3).

In a survey done by CDC in 2011, the findings show that more than 47% of students in high school engage in sex with 15% of them having sex with four or more partners in their lifetime (National Conference of State Legislatures [NCSL] para. 10).

Background Assuming the role of a risk management and quality improvement professional at Vila Health’s community-based hospitals, situated in Minnesota and Wisconsin, the task at hand involves addressing a recent compliance breach. An employee inadvertently disclosed protected patient health information without prior authorization, constituting a privacy breach and a violation of HIPAA regulations.

This action contravened HIPAA regulations, established in 1996 to safeguard patient data (Chen & Benusa, 2017). Failure to adhere to HIPAA standards not only compromises patient privacy but also exposes Vila Health to legal ramifications, particularly under the HITECH Act (D’Arrigo, 2019

Discuss various theories of health promotion, including Pender’s Health Promotion Model, The Health Belief Model, the Transtheoretical Theory and the Theory of Reasoned Action. List and discuss health behaviors for health promotion and disease prevention. Apply and discuss the principles of transcultural nursing to community health nursing. Apply and discuss the basic concepts of critical theory to environmental health nursing problems. essay

Theories of Health Promotion

Health promotion is a crucial aspect of nursing practice, and several theoretical frameworks provide guidance for understanding and influencing health-related behaviors. The Pender's Health Promotion Model focuses on the multidimensional nature of individuals and their interactions with the environment to pursue health. This model emphasizes the importance of individual characteristics, experiences, and behavioral-specific cognitions and affect in shaping health-promoting behaviors.

Another prominent theory is the Health Belief Model, which suggests that an individual's decision to engage in a health-related behavior is influenced by their perceived susceptibility to a disease, the perceived severity of the condition, the perceived benefits of the action, and the perceived barriers to taking the action. This model helps nurses understand the cognitive factors that shape an individual's motivation to adopt healthy behaviors.

The Transtheoretical Theory, also known as the Stages of Change model, posits that behavior change occurs in a series of stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Each stage is characterized by specific cognitive and behavioral processes that must be addressed for successful change. This theory provides a framework for tailoring interventions to an individual's readiness for change.

The Theory of Reasoned Action suggests that an individual's intention to perform a behavior is the best predictor of that behavior, and this intention is influenced by the individual's attitude toward the behavior and the subjective norms surrounding the behavior. This theory emphasizes the role of social influences and personal beliefs in shaping health-related behaviors.

Health Behaviors for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

Effective health promotion and disease prevention strategies should target a range of health behaviors, including:

Healthy eating and nutrition: Promoting balanced diets, increased fruit and vegetable consumption, and reducing intake of processed and high-calorie foods.
Regular physical activity and exercise: Encouraging aerobic exercise, strength training, and activities that improve flexibility and balance.
Stress management and relaxation techniques: Teaching stress-reduction methods, such as meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness practices.
Substance abuse prevention: Implementing smoking cessation programs, alcohol moderation strategies, and education on the harms of illicit drug use.
Preventive screenings and immunizations: Increasing awareness and access to recommended preventive health services, such as cancer screenings, vaccinations, and regular check-ups.
Safety practices: Promoting the use of seat belts, safe driving behaviors, and injury prevention measures.
Chronic disease self-management: Empowering individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, to actively manage their health.
Mental health promotion and emotional well-being: Addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and social isolation, and fostering positive coping mechanisms.
Transcultural Nursing and Community Health Nursing

Applying the principles of transcultural nursing to community health nursing is essential for delivering culturally competent and responsive care. Nurses must assess the cultural characteristics, health beliefs, and practices of the target community, and adapt their interventions and health promotion strategies accordingly. Collaborating with community leaders, elders, and stakeholders is crucial to ensure the relevance and acceptability of health programs.

By respecting and integrating the community's values, traditions, and preferences, nurses can empower and engage the community in the design, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion initiatives. This approach fosters trust, enhances community ownership, and increases the likelihood of sustainable, long-term health outcomes.

Critical Theory and Environmental Health Nursing

The basic concepts of critical theory can provide valuable insights for environmental health nursing. By examining the power structures, social inequities, and contextual factors that contribute to environmental health disparities, nurses can better identify and address the root causes of these issues.

Critical theory encourages nurses to analyze the impact of environmental hazards, such as air pollution, water contamination, or toxin exposure, on vulnerable populations. This analysis can then inform the development of policies and interventions that address these systemic problems, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Furthermore, critical theory empowers communities to participate actively in the decision-making processes tha

Theories of Crime in Forensic Psychology

 

The phenomenon of forensic psychology has always been an ambivalent notion in terms of its interpretation. According to the researchers, the primary idea behind this branch of criminology was to investigate the insane behavior of offenders, which concerns some severe cases of mental disorders and psychopathy (McLaughlin & Muncie, 2019). However, over the years, such a definition has gradually shifted towards a generic anthropological approach that emphasized the investigation of any crime through the lens of the offenders’ psychology and behavioral patterns. For this reason, forensic psychology as a discipline has become closely correlated with the broad theories of crime that aim at defining the reasons behind the offender’s decision to act in an unlawful manner.

The main common feature of nurse practice acts in selected states is that they contain the general provisions for nursing professions. Also, both acts aim at ensuring that all nursing practitioners adhere to the requirements of safe practice. Another similarity is the definition and scope of practice of nurses. There are no significant differences between the states’ acts. However, some structural divergences are present. Also, the acts use different titles for assistive personnel: in the Florida act, such employees are referred to as “medical assistants” (“Florida nurse practice act,” 2008). In the New York act, they are called “support staff” (“New York nurse practice act,” 2010).

Similarly, the Chinese have more than two million police officers, Interpol group in Beijing has two divisions that administer major cities in the country and the country joined Interpol in 1961 (Hu, 2019). International cooperation in policing has been effective in the two countries with the US extending a long arm of the law to meet the required standards of security in many countries. Chinese have a strong military but they are placed after their counterparts when it comes to implementation and keeping of law and order. Therefore, the two countries embrace international police cooperation with Interpol being a common example.

Psychoanalytic and Social Learning Theories Explaining Crime

 

Among the theories explaining the causes of delinquent youth, two are especially important: social learning theory and psychoanalytic theory. According to social learning theory, human behavior is influenced by several factors, including the environment, the habits of the child’s parents, the friends people spend time with, and the level of wealth in the family. However, a key factor that influences engaging in criminal activity is the experience of learning from others. In particular, how the conflict in the family is resolved affects how the child will act during quarrels in school. It is believed that the risk of involvement in criminal activities increases when children are brought up in a criminal atmosphere. Only a partial implementation of this model is permissible to explain the deviant behavior of young people. This theory does not consider the internal impulses of adolescents that are not associated with the learning process of others.

The Articles of Confederation and the US Constitution Comparison

The Articles of Confederation emerged as an issue of great debate among the United States citizens after the American Revolution. Encouraged by victory over the European crown, they claimed that the article was inadequate in governing the central authority. This is because it had no recognized executive power. In addition, it lacked the judicial branch, so disputes were not arbitrated sufficiently. International treaties were used to govern the country in the late 18th century. However, individual states disobeyed the treaty and as a result, the republic was put in a bad place diplomatically

Specialized programs have since been designed for women, those condemned of sexual assaults, and those under parole supervision. However, the rehabilitation programs in prison fail to work due to ineffectiveness during implementation. For this reason, correctional facilities play a poor role in rehabilitating offenders. This research paper aims to discuss the various situations that show failure on the part of prisons to rehabilitate prisoners in Canada.

Circumstances when juveniles should be justified to be tried as adults

Since the establishment of the first juvenile court, the argument has been that juveniles should be transferred to adult courts if they cannot be rehabilitated in juvenile courts. The transfer of juvenile offenders from juvenile courts to adult courts, however, should be applied in limited situations. For the youth to retain their rights to rehabilitation, the judges presiding over juvenile courts must use their discretion sparingly during the hearings. This is because sending juveniles to adult courts is not, in most circumstances, the sole solution to juvenile crimes (Bergman, Paul, and Berman 35).

Reasons why adults should be tried under adult criminal justice systems

 

For many years, the debate on whether juveniles should be subject to the criminal justice system when they commit crimes has elicited different opposing reactions from people from the civil society, justice system and the parents. Under common law, a juvenile is any person under the age of seven years cannot be charged with criminal offenses, because they do not have the moral sense to differentiate between wrong and right (Jung, Ahn-Redding, Heather and Meredith 341).

Why Juveniles Should be Tried As Adults Introduction

Think tanks behind the juvenile justice systems intended to create rehabilitative mechanisms to reform juvenile offenders of minor crimes. However, it seems as if the youth perpetrate their crimes because they know that they do not stand punished by the juvenile justice system (Flesch 583). Suffice to say, the youths are protected by the outdated justice system that fails to nab the offenders and treat them like so. In order for a society to feel accommodated in the process of administration of justice and to deter more juveniles from perpetrating these serious crimes, criminals should be held accountable regardless of their age (Flesch 583; Pullmann 484).

Analysis of Advantages and Disadvantages of Abortion

 

Introduction

Abortion remains one of the most controversial topics in the world. Many people believe that it is wrong and consider it to be murder, where a significant number support it but for specific reasons. Abortion provides one of the unending and disturbing American moral and legal struggles. The topic introduces many ethical dilemmas relating to the moral status of the fetus and the meaning of human life (Kirkey). Arguments about pregnancy termination concentration on the rights and wrongs of intentionally ending a pregnancy before the scheduled childbirth is resulting in the demise of the fetus. Abortion remains to be a painful topic for both women and men facing the dilemma of making ethical decisions relating to whether or not to terminate the pregnancy. People continue to question whether abortions are morally wrong and whether it should be legal or illegal. Moral disagreements among critics do not stop people from performing abortions, even in countries where it is illegal. This research discussion argues that abortion is seriously wrong except for some instances.

Abortion in Hanafi and Maliki Schools of Islamic Thought

 

Introduction

It is a well-known fact that the Quran outlines the ethical and practical principles that were designed to be followed in 7th-century Arabia. At the same time, Islam as a global religion aims to translate a universally applicable worldview that, at least theoretically, should work in every situation and age. This fact produces an obvious issue of the 7th-century concepts and the scientific knowledge of the later ages, especially since the two may come in conflict. The issue of abortion in Islam is certainly an example of such a contrast. Although the Quran unequivocally forbids infanticide, the later scholarly interpretations of the issue have highlighted the difference between varying schools in terms of when a fetus may be considered a person. While the Maliki school posits that the fetus is destined for ensoulment from the moment of conception and, thus, cannot be violated, the Hanafi school generally allows abortion prior to 120 days of pregnancy. While each side roots their arguments in a long and esteemed tradition of Islamic thought, the modern scientific data on fetal brain development makes the Hanafi approach more applicable in contemporary society.

Historical, Cultural, and Religious Perspectives of Abortions

Ancient Greeks and Roman engaged in this practice without law or religion, representing significant hindrance to abortion. Philosophy and some religions supported the termination of pregnancy, especially in the early stages. For instance, Aristotle, who is said to have approved practice, expounded on the theory of life, stating that the fetus did not have a soul until the last stage of development and did not have logic until delivery (Gerdts et al., 2018). Another notable concept was the Hippocratic Oath, which prohibited doctors from performing an abortion. However, this oath was not accepted by Greeks and Romans, hence the widespread support for pregnancy termination.

Is Abortion Beneficial or Harmful To a Teenager? Introduction

Abortion is the removal of a pregnancy before it is due. It is the elimination of a fetus or embryo from the mother’s uterus before it is due for birth. Abortion can either be induced or can occur due to complications of a pregnancy in other terms referred to as spontaneous abortion. It can be induced if the health of the pregnant female is at risk or due to other reasons. In most cases, abortion is used to refer to the induced abortion other than the spontaneous.

Debate of the Dangerous Consequences of Abortion

 

Introduction

Despite the fact that abortion has been widely practiced by the whole of mankind since thousands of years before, it is a matter that still evokes deep emotions and debate. The very nature of the process raises the primary question regarding life: What is the true value of human life? Moreover, abortion is directly related to various issues including the right of women to manage their physical state, the responsibility of the law to protect the unborn child, the conflicting ideas of secularism and religion regarding human life, the participation of the father and parents in the decision-making, and the clashing rights of the mother and the unborn child (United Nations, 2001).

Fetal Abnormality and Ethical Dilemms of Abortion

 

Introduction

In the case study “Fetal Abnormality”, four characters face the same problem that is an abnormal condition of a fetus and the necessity to decide if to save a child or to consider abortion as the only appropriate solution. Each character takes a certain position and finds it necessary to support this choice by any possible means. For example, Marco, a father of a family, does not want to inform the wife about potential problems with their future child and tries to support his wife with any decision of hers. Dr. Wilson, a primary attending physician, offers abortion from a medical and “scientific” point of view. Aunt Maria, who had been providing the couple with home during the last three years before they moved, believes in the power of God and suggests having a child and believing that God can save all of them. In her turn, Jessica, the wife, is torn between her hopes and her socioeconomic concerns.

Pros and Cons of Abortion: The Importance of Women’s Rights

 

For decades, abortion has been a hotly debated subject, eliciting strong and often firmly entrenched beliefs on all sides of the political spectrum. While some say that a woman’s freedom to choose what happens to her own body is a basic human right, others think that it is a moral matter that transcends individual rights and that terminating a pregnancy is just immoral. The topic of abortion is further complicated by the fact that a woman may seek an abortion for a variety of reasons, ranging from medical necessity to personal choice, and the reasons for each individual decision can be complex and varied (Jiang, 2022). In this essay, we will explore the pros and cons of abortion from a range of different perspectives, with a particular focus on the importance of women’s rights to reproductive autonomy and bodily integrity.

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics in our society today. Some believe that a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body and believe that abortion is murder. The debate over abortion is often highly emotional and can be difficult to discuss rationally. However, it is an important issue that deserves to be examined from all sides. The question of when life begins is at the heart of the debate over abortion. For some, life begins at conception, and abortion is equivalent to murder (Boonin, 2019). For others,

Ethical Aspects of Abortion: A Moral Dilemma

 

 

Any termination of pregnancy is called an abortion which has become an increasingly controversial topic as it raises fundamental religious, moral, and other issues. To properly understand the ethical aspects of abortion, it is necessary to realize that pregnancy is both a regular physiological process occurring in a woman and the biological formation of a new person (Rahman). While the proponents claim it is a matter of choice that defines human freedom, abortions still damage one’s health and may cause severe implications.

The Morality of Selective Abortion and Genetic Screening

 

The continuation of species is a biological function that is present in all humans. Common social norms presuppose the desire to have children is natural and should be encouraged. However, genetic complexity might compromise future offspring’s opportunity to have a satisfying life. If a child is born with a medical condition, such as Huntington’s disease, their quality of life is almost assured to be low due to physical and social complications arising out of the disease. Modern technology allows doctors to predict the probability of a certain medical condition in an offspring. As a result, both parents and doctors are faced with a moral dilemma, which stems from the inability to provide the child with a fulfilling life (Vaughn 490). Subsequently, the decision to make an abortion might be moral if it is established that there is a strong probability that the fetus will develop into a person afflicted by an incurable medical condition

Both Percocet and morphine are pain relief medication used in emergency department.  They relief moderate to severe pain in patients. Percocet was ordered because it is an orally therapy medication while morphine IV was ordered because it is intravenous medication. I would administer Percocet because it is 1.5 times more effective than morphine in relieving pain. According to Hovda, Brutlag, Poppenga and Peterson (2016), oral administration route is regarded as the most acceptable and economical route of medication administration. I will not administer morphine IV because it is a narcotic and giving 4mg of morphine medication to John who has a higher blood pressure can cause it to drop to 50 -60 systolic and thus cause the patient become unresponsive.

What are the potential consequences of changing the image of the nurse from caregiver to a scholar?

Transforming the images of nurses from caregivers to scholars will enable these professionals to become exemplary nurse leaders who can change healthcare throughout the country. This will ensure these nurses inspire the next generation and build the health culture in the society. Since the scholarship will incorporate overlapping and interrelated domains, such as teaching, application, integration, and discovery, nurses will improve their roles in academia and practice (Conard & Pape, 2014). Therefore, nursing will get the opportunity to participate in policy formulation and development.

Reasons for proper identification of viral and bacterial infections

 

The proper identification ensures the physician avoids drug resistance, especially of the microbes causing infections. In most cases, microbes cause bacterial and viral infections which have since evolved to be resistant to the drugs. Therefore, improper identification makes it difficult to achieve the plan of treatment (Leekha, Terrell, & Edson, 2011). Proper identification enhances the use of vaccination; hence preventing microbes from causing malady.

Evidence Based Practice on Pediatric Health Promotion and Protection

 

Introduction

Poor quality newborn and maternal care is a major concern across the continuum of care. It leads to high rates of maternal mortality, psychological morbidity, and acute and chronic illness among newborn and mothers. This aspect has resulted to the need for implementation of affordable, sustainable, and effective improvements in quality of care such as midwifery. Midwifery can improve care and outcomes by minimizing neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality, promoting public and psychosocial health outcomes, reducing number of unnecessary interventions, and decreasing preterm birth and stillbirth (Renfrew et al., 2014).

Epidemiology and Communicable Diseases: Tuberculosis

 

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the infectious diseases which affect the lungs.  Unlike other diseases, this communicable syndrome is caused by more than a single agent. Today, TB is the second leading killer in the world. In fact, a report posted by Mclntosh (2017) on the Medical News Today shows that over 1.8 million people die from the syndrome while 10.4 million falls sick. In the nineteenth century, this epidemic was widespread in North America and Europe until the microbial causes were identified. Because of this discovery, vaccines and drugs were introduced; thus, making people believe that the disease was defeated. In fact, even the UN had predicted that TB would be no more by 2025 (Mclntosh, 2017). However, the situation worsened in the subsequent years leading to the WHO decision to declare it a global emergency. The disease continues to cause havoc among the global population leading to this research.

Information Systems in Nursing

 

Information technology seems to have defined the future of health system. The healthcare modernization has completely improved care delivery today. In the past decades, healthcare providers and stakeholders have invested in technology expansion; thus, using the computer programs to perform the administrative process. With patient care becoming a primary focus in creating new knowledge and concept, healthcare technology has defined the current trend in healthcare and clinical applications. Given the significance of information technology in healthcare, it becomes critical to discuss how the current information system has helped to deliver quality patient care and improve patient outcomes by assessing the four competencies.

In 200-250 words answer the following: According to the Christian worldview, how might a Christian rank the priority of the four principles? Explain why. (45 points)

  1.  

According to the worldview Christians must rank the priority of four principles in relation to the health and faith of the individual. In this case, it is important to look at respect for autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence and Justice as the last principle when everything has been exhausted. This is because in regard to the James story, the patients has the right to make informed decisions regarding the medical care of their patients.  The principle also underlies the demands for the physician to seek consent or ensure there is an informed agreement from the side of the patient before making any investigation or having the treatment take place. Perhaps this principle is as at its most forcible where it is important for the patient to practice their autonomy or when James refused to continue with treatment and rely on their faith in God.  The principle also requires that a patient like James that is suffering from kidney problem has the right to choose whether to consent for kidney transplant or not. The right of choice is also not limited to what others might regard as the right thing to do.  Notwithstanding it exists that the reason to ensure the choice the make about his health is not irrational, should be known or existent. It will however depend on the reason he is coerced to decide and will not be said to be his or should not be respected if it means risking their life. In respect to the condition of James, if the physician had concerns regarding coercion, right medical or treatment practice would ensure there is more time spent to discuss with the patient all the options, including holding on faith so that they can confirm the decision was genuinely theirs.

Part 2: Evaluation Answer each of the following questions about how principlism would be applied: In 200-250 words answer the following: According to the Christian worldview, which of the four principles is most pressing in this case? Explain why. (45 points)

 

Beneficence is one of the greatest ethical principle which mostly addresses the idea that the action by the physician should be in the manner that will promote the good of the patient. Doing well from the part of the physician is also important especially when it is will benefit the patient. Beneficence however need not to be confused by non-maleficence that states that a physician should not harm a patient.  The principle in regard to the case study means that the physician should have the obligation for him to protect his patient from harm by removing or preventing all parts of bad situations and promoting things that would benefit them.  In the cases study for example, it was the role of Mike to inform the physician that he had decided to make the decision to have his other son Samuel to lose a kidney and not allow the spiritual process since this was something that would be reversed.  Generally as a physician one is expected to see that patient as a whole and to think about the long term effects of the patients. This is because beneficence is centered on ensuring the good for a patient, the difficulty with this is that the principle often lies on the definition of what is good and what that good would mean to the patient.  For some patients, like in the case study, good might also means allowing them to die when their time comes, however to others, goo might mean ensuring the patient has undergone a difficult procedure so that their life is prolonged.

When it comes to my professional practice, the nursing theory that has influenced by  Values and Goals is that of Watson on ‘Human Caring'.  The theory suggests that the nursing process will entail building relationships between one person to the other to ensure care and support is focussed on the patient so as to achieve the highest degree of harmony in the mind body and soul. From a study which was conducted on Watson's theory on the mental health status of pregnant women after losing their baby, it was found to have a very positive effect. When a was assigned to work in the maternity ward during my internship, this theory was very vital in my daily engagement and ensuring that I delivered my services as required (Alligood & Tomey, 2010). It is also during this time that I had to deal with patients that experienced the loss of their children after delivery and during postnatal care.

NURS-FPX4040-Health Assessment and Communication

Introduction

    A healthcare assessment is a plan of care that promotes identification specific health needs of an individual and how such needs will be addressed by a skilled nursing facility or healthcare system. Healthcare assessment involves the evaluation of the health status of an individual by carrying out a physical examination upon taking their health history. The purpose of healthcare assessment is to detect illnesses in individuals who may feel or look unwell. Healthcare assessment is performed along the health continuum, and its approaches range from palliative care to prevention, to treatment about the health status of the patient on the health continuum (Wilson & Giddens, 2014). However, healthcare assessment is not treatment or treatment plan. Instead, it is a care plan preceded by the specialty such as nursing, medical or physical therapy.

The history of helmet laws in the United States reflects the extent to which individual liberties have shaped the debate on public health. Studies show that helmet legislation reduces fatalities and serious injuries even though not all states embrace the legislation (Erhardt et al., 2016). Similarly, the motorcycle laws vary extensively among the states and have been changing considerably in the past decades. However, there are debates as to why should the government be able to tell people what to do while riding their own motorcycles. As such, it is essential to assess the helmet laws in terms of the social contract theories of Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau to understand the reason behind their enactment.

Whether It Makes a Difference If the Advanced Degree Is In Nursing or a Related Discipline to Become a Nurse Educator

Before becoming a nurse educator, one must have a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. The NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination) must be done after one earns a BSN degree. The passing of the NCLEX-RN exam qualifies individuals for licensure as RN (Registered Nurse). After all these qualifications, an RN should obtain an advanced degree to qualify as a nurse educator (Registered Nurse.org, n.d).  An advanced degree assumes various forms, including a Doctor of Nursing Philosophy (Ph.D.), Master’ s of Science in Nursing degree(MSN), or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).

Discussion #4 Whether it is important for nurse educators in the practice setting and nursing schools to have graduate degrees?

 

Nursing as a profession is very demanding but attracts individuals pursuing a profession in a discipline with solid growth.  The demand that comes with being a nurse compels some nurses to specialize in nursing education. Nurse educators working in practice and classroom setting are required to prepare the next generation of nurses to meet a rapidly evolving healthcare sector’s demands. For instance, nurse educators should prepare nurses to meet the distinct patients’ needs, advance science that enhances health professionals’ capacity to deliver quality and safe patient care, and assume leadership roles in the healthcare sector (National Academy of Sciences, 2011).

Whether it is important for nurse educators in the practice setting and nursing schools to have graduate degrees? 

Nursing as a profession is very demanding but attracts individuals pursuing a profession in a discipline with solid growth.  The demand that comes with being a nurse compels some nurses to specialize in nursing education. Nurse educators working in practice and classroom setting are required to prepare the next generation of nurses to meet a rapidly evolving healthcare sector’s demands. For instance, nurse educators should prepare nurses to meet the distinct patients’ needs, advance science that enhances health professionals’ capacity to deliver quality and safe patient care, and assume leadership roles in the healthcare sector (National Academy of Sciences, 2011).

In today’s generation, substance abuse has become an epidemic issue as many individuals are affected globally, especially among the “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual/Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ)” community. The LGBTQ community is a vulnerable population that experiences significant health and social disparities compared to the general population (Hafeez et al., 2017). Individuals in this population have the highest rates of HIV/AIDS, substance and alcohol abuse, mental health disorders, suicide incidences and suicide attempts, poverty, homelessness, and emotional, sexual, and physical abuse.  The immense challenges transgender individuals experience contributed to high rates of substance abuse. According to Juergens (2019), about 20 to 30 percent of the LGBTQ population abuse substances and alcohol compared to only 9 percent of the general population.

Introduction

The percentage of cigarette smokers in the US is increasing at an alarming rate. In 2019, statistics showed that almost 14 individuals in every 100 adults aged 18 years and over are smokers. The statistics imply that approximately 14 percent or 34.1 million adults in the US are cigarette smokers. Besides, more than 16 million Americans live with smoking-related illnesses (Cole et al., 2020).  These cigarette smoking-related diseases have cost the US more than $300 billion every year, incorporating almost $170 billion for primary medical care for adults. Moreover, cigarette smoking has resulted in more than $156 billion in lost productivity, incorporating $5.6 billion in lost productivity because of secondhand smoke exposure (Cole et al., 2020). Besides, cigarette smoking is associated with a wide range of adverse health effects that substantially diminishes the health status of smokers. Most importantly, cigarette smoking causes heart diseases, cancer, lung diseases, diabetes, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Helms, King, & Ashley, 2017). This paper proposes a policy to address the health needs of persons with cigarette smoking addiction, thus enhancing their health outcomes

Barriers (actual or potential) to the transfer of accurate patient information

Transitional care involves many barriers that must be addressed to ensure smooth transition. Some of the common encountered barriers include poor integration of care services, ineffective communication, and poor reporting and during patient hand off. These barriers present imminent limitations to attainment of patient safety and effective transition. A study conducted by King et al., (2013) indicated that poor communication leads to omission of advance directives and patient’s preferences in transitional care

Quality Improvement of Interprofessional Care

Introduction 

Every health care entity aims at increasing value proposition to its clients and stakeholders through continuous improvements. This implies that for a health care entity to be competitive in the long run there is need for continuous quality improvement. One of the fundamental aspects of quality improvements initiatives is the ability to enhance patient’s safety and avert negative health consequences such as comorbidities or fatalities (Coles et al., 2017). The scope of quality improvement incorporate evidence based perspective where changes are made based on collected data. Therefore, data collection and analysis form a key ingredient to successful quality improvement. In this aspect, it’s possible to measure collected data and quantify needs arising from such evidence. The importance of undertaking quality improvements based on data is to facilitate effective changes that will bring about quality improvements. In most cases, data analysis is done by documenting available hospital evidence and comparing the outcomes with national benchmark averages. Such comparison enables a healthcare entity to assess its performance in meeting quality improvement goals. Besides, dash board metric analysis enables understanding the available gaps and how to take corrective actions to improve such undertaking. The scope of this paper is to analyze data from Villa Health’s dashboard metric on adverse event reporting in the hospice unit. This aspect will enable for recommendations on quality improvement initiative at the health care entity.

MSN-FP6016: Adverse Event or Near Miss Analysis

Introduction

The healthcare sector is a challenging field of work where the nurses and physicians must observe high degrees of professionalism. Minimal errors in the nursing practice can result in severe damages to the patient and, in extreme cases, irreversible health implications. The nursing code of ethics recommends that the professionals exercise a high level of work principles to ensure the patients' quality and safety under their care. The nurses and clinical officers take an oath that binds them to the practice and compels them to always promote quality health. The principles of work in the field guide the practicians on observing professionalism and being assured of the best outcome inpatient care. The minimal errors experienced in practice often threaten the patients' lives as they develop complications caused by the medical staff and not the underlying condition that brought them to the hospital.

Possible Legal Issues with Telehealth and How the Technology Provides Clear Path to Ethical Practice in Future

Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare remotely through technology. Telehealth is useful in promoting wellness and disease awareness, educating providers and patients because of its innovative technologies like mobile phone applications, website monitoring applications, videoconferencing, and wearable technology (Marcoux & Vogenberg, 2016). Despite these benefits, there are legal issues associated with it. For instance, telehealth licensing differs across states, thus limiting its widespread application. There lacks standardized regulatory and legal frameworks to guide the adoption of telehealth.

Summary Report on Rural Health Care and Affordable Solutions

Rural healthcare plays a significant role in their communities. Apart from enhancing the rural population’s health and well-being, rural hospitals provide employment opportunities to community residents and attract other business ventures that boost living standards (Rogan & Lewis, 2020). Despite these benefits, rural healthcare facilities struggle financially, and a significant number of them have shut down. America has closed 121 hospitals since 2010 forcing rural residents to travel to urban areas to access healthcare services, which undermines rural patients’ access to necessary services (Rogan & Lewis, 2020). Identifying long-term solutions to rural healthcare is necessary to enhance rural facilities’ operational and financial flexibility.

Rural Population and Needs

A rural community is a community that is less densely populated compared to the urban population. The community is characterized by high unemployment rates, poverty, underinsured and uninsured populations, and underemployed than urban areas. Rural communities face multiple patients’ issues. They include healthcare workers shortage, limited rural health training opportunities, and delaying care. According to Nielsen, D’Agostino, & Gregory (2017), approximately 20% of Americans reside in rural areas. However, less than a tenth of physicians practice in these areas. By 2025, rural areas will experience a shortage of about 20,000 primary care physicians per federal government estimates (Nielsen, D’Agostino, & Gregory, 2017). The problem is worsened by limited health training opportunities in rural areas. Most residencies and medical schools in the United States are in suburban and urban areas, leading to fewer physicians willing to practice in rural settings. 

 

Additionally, students in remote areas have limited opportunities to obtain prerequisite science and math courses required by medical schools (Nielsen, D’Agostino, & Gregory, 2017).  Rural residents are forced to travel long distances to access care. Most rural residents are a self-employed farming community. The need to care for their crops and livestock are given priority over traveling long distances to access care. Thus, rural population delays seeking care, leading to sicker patients with complex illness. The One population I can assist with this plan is Hispanic group residing in the rural community.

Care Coordinators should have a thorough comprehension of the community they serve.  The trust they develop with the community allows them to act as intermediary and liaisons between the community and social/health services. However, the care coordinator should be aware of the diversity of the rural population. For instance, some of them are low-wage laborers; some are framers, while others are self-employed. Therefore, the healthcare coordinator should address the challenges that these individuals face while seeking healthcare services.

Current Available Interprofessional Team Providers and Resources

Inter-professional team providers involve healthcare workers from distinct disciplines collaborating to provide patients with complementary and integrated services. According to Morley and Cashell (2017), inter-professional teams results in improved health outcomes, innovative and patient-focused care, and clinically excellent services. In the rural community, social workers, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare workers collaborate to improve patient outcomes. However, rural healthcare features like staff shortages, distance, and service centralization threaten effective inter-professional practice. Despite these challenges, inter-professional team providers can collaborate with telehealth partners and other stakeholders in the region to provide quality and safe care to the rural population. Telehealth uses audio technology and video to connect specialists and care providers in large and small hospitals, respectively (Harrison, 2019). The use of this technology reduces the burdens and challenges encountered by rural patients while seeking specialty care, such as transportation issues. Therefore, telehealth will promote inter-professional teamwork between rural and urban hospitals to enhance service delivery.

Areas of Cultural Competency the Team must address

Hispanic/Latino population is culturally diverse because of their distinct origins. For instance, some of this population came from the Caribbean while others came

NURS-FPX4050: Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination

Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic disease that usually develops for years without having any clinical symptom. Apart from the United States, this is one of the most common type of diabetes around the world with the other two being Type 1 and gestational diabetes. According to the CDC ( 2019), Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 85-95% of the diagnosed cases in the United States.  Also, diabetes, in addition to other diseases of affluence that includes cardiovascular and obesity disease, is one of the major health concern in the United States. Statistics indicate that by 2025, the number of patients living with diabetes all over the world is going to increase to over 330 million (CDC, 2019). This will account to about 6.5% of the global population, and by 2035, it is possible that the number could rise to about 600 million.  In the united states, about 100 million adults are living with pre-diabetes or type 1 and 2 diabetes, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention statistics.  It is estimated that the number will continue to rise over the years.

My Acculturation Experience as a New Graduate to the Culture of the Nursing Profession

The acculturation experience for new graduate nurses to the culture of the nursing profession is demanding and challenging. The new graduate nurses are expected to leave their structured nursing school environment and enter professional practice, which causes transition and reality shock for these nurses. As a result, new graduate nurses’ provision of substandard care and intention to leave the profession increases. Thus, Powers, Herron, & Pagel (2019) maintain that the successful acculturation of new graduate nurses depends on their ability to build confidence and acquire necessary clinical reasoning abilities as they are oriented in their new role. For instance, patient care in a critical care setting is fast-paced and complex, exerting considerable pressure on new graduates

How Transformational Leaders Can Maintain a Culture of Adaptive Change

Transformational leaders maintain and nourish an established culture of change in the organization. These leaders channel resources to continuously improve their culture, and with time facilitate adaption (Ledlow & Stephens, 2020). However, transformational leaders face multiple challenges in maintaining a culture of adaptive change. The challenges are attributable to complex environments characterized by uncertainty and continuous change.  According to Schulze & Pinkow (2020), the current fast-paced environments are characterized by globalization, changing customer expectations, and technological advancement. Leaders should remain relevant in such environments through renewal and innovation. Therefore, to maintain a culture of adaptive change, transformational leaders should sense and evaluate new opportunities in their sector and take advantage of them. Additionally, they should reconfigure their company’s structure to facilitate organizational change and sustain its competitiveness in the health sector or industry

Critically Examining Two Contrasting Social Work Intervention Strategies that Apply to David’s Scenario

The social work interventions that apply to David’s case are crisis intervention and Task centered intervention. The interventions are appropriate because they revolve around shared values of accountability and transparency when working with clients. Accordingly, the interventions concentrate on defined actions and positive outcomes. Accordingly, the interventions focus on the client’s priorities and experiences from their perspective. Thus, the service worker will help David resolve his crisis based on defined actions and specified outcomes using the interventions.

Social Work Intervention Strategies

The social work process’s primary element is identifying appropriate intervention strategies informed by social work assessments, sociological and psychological theories. Social workers use their assessment and observation skills to assess and explain situations and select the most appropriate intervention methods based on the developed hypothesis about expected outcomes. However, implementing the chosen intervention methods requires various skills, like communication and knowledge in sustaining, maintaining, and building relationships. Similarly, critical analysis and reflection are required to appraise the intervention’s effectiveness.  Based on the case scenario, crisis intervention strategies and task centered practice will best address the client’s situation.

Case Scenario

David separated from his wife Sarah six months ago. David is experiencing financial problems but is expected to pay for the child’s maintenance.  David lost his job because of his organization’s recent cuts where he works as an independent agent.  As a result, David lost some key clients and experienced low demand.  The business is struggling, and David is stressed because he works for long hours with little returns. David has lots of temper with his wife and children and is withdrawn from them. However, no physical harm or aggression was reported by the wife. David’s mental state worsens as his wife announces separation. The consequences of wife separation include low mood, poor sleep, poor appetite, and low self-esteem. Depression diagnosed by GP. His condition has deteriorated, his mood worsened, poor self-care, and has suicidal thoughts. David wants to take overdose on non-prescription medication because his ex-wife told him that she was unwilling to let him have contact with his children as she felt he was mentally unstable.

Whether Transformational Leadership Is a Good Fit for Nursing and Health Care In General

As a leadership strategy, transformational leadership creates considerable changes in people’s lives and organizational culture. The leadership approach redesigns organizations and individual values and perceptions and modifies employees’ aspirations and expectations (UCLA, n.d).  Transformational leaders create challenging goals, communicate their vision, and walk the talk. Thus, they motivate and boost their followers’ morale and connect communities to the organization’s collective identity and mission. Transformational leaders challenge their followers to own their work and enhance their productivity. Transformational leaders implement changes, enhance the affordability of healthcare services, and improve patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Thus, transformation leadership is integral in enhancing patient safety and performance improvement in the healthcare sector. Transformational leaders are a good fit for nursing and healthcare in general.

In the healthcare sector, transformational leaders envision desired outcomes and focus on improving the quality and safety of care accessed by the patient population. Transformational leaders collaborate with other staff to enhance the health of those they serve. In the nursing profession, nurses work in groups by collaborating with nurse assistants, technicians, doctors, and other healthcare providers to offer quality and safe care. Effective teamwork among inter-professional teams requires excellent collaboration and clear communication. Therefore, transformational leaders in the clinical setting ensure that team members understand their importance in care delivery, roles, and expectations. The leaders also ensure that the employees feel valued by incorporating them in the decision-making process and solving issues that undermine care delivery. The resultant effect is an environment that empowers and engages employees because they are encouraged to challenge the status quo, think critically, and maintain a positive work environment. The impact of transformational leadership on healthcare workers make it  a good fit for nursing and healthcare in general.

Instructions: this assignment addresses the role the nurse plays using political strategies to help influence policy decisions. step 1: read the following situation carefully. a hospital is planning to purchase new telemetry heart monitors for the intensive care unit (icu), emergency department (ed), and intermediate care unit (imcu). to make the capital purchase productive, hospital administration forms a committee consisting of the unit managers, nursing representatives from each unit, a bio-med individual, and the financial officer. each unit is allowed representation based on the number of nurses employed on the units. this results in three icu nurses, three imcu nurses, and one ed nurse. management is concerned about the costs of replacing the telemetry monitors; therefore, the financial officer pushes for the cheapest product, insisting that budget constraints and decreased revenue require the purchase of a less expensive system. however, the icu, imcu, and ed representatives gat

How the nurses used political strategies to influence the decision

Politics influence distinct aspects of organizational functions. However, navigating organizational political dynamics requires individuals to use manipulation, persuasion, and negotiation techniques to exert influence (Montalvo, 2015). As per the case scenario, the nurses use persuasion strategies to influence the decision. For instance, they use persuasion skills to convince the financial officer that the most expensive telemetry heart monitors would enhance care delivery. They support their arguments by devising a proposal that highlights the expensive system’s benefit over the affordable one. For instance, the expensive system would result in an uninterrupted patient flow and would meet the emergency department, intensive care unit, and the intermediate care unit’s needs. Additionally, the system would result in cost savings in the long-term and boost patient outcomes.  Their convincing facts that the expensive system is better than the cheaper one helped them gain support from several local cardiologists and the bio-med representative whose mother was in the ICU and would benefit from the system. Thus, the nurses in the case study used persuasion to influence the decision to purchase the expensive system.

Why Black Women Are At High Risk of Dying From Pregnancy Complications

 Black women are subjected to disproportionate maternal health outcomes leading to high death rates related to pregnancy complications. Health system and societal factors contribute to maternal mortality and poor health outcomes among African American women. These women are more likely to experience racial discrimination and other barriers while accessing health care services (Taylor et al., 2019). Structural racism in social service and healthcare delivery results in African American women accessing poor care quality than their white counterparts. Additionally, they are not treated with respect and dignity and are denied necessary care when in pain.  Institutional racism places black women at high risk of dying from pregnancy complications. 

Background of the Issue

The United States considers high maternal mortality rates a significant public health issue. Although the government has channeled adequate resources to improve hospital-based maternity care, United States is ranked among the worst industrialized nations for pregnancy-related mortality rates (Madeline, 2020). However, from a global perspective, the country’s maternal mortality rates are low but are increasing rapidly among African American women. These women face disparity in accessing maternal care resulting in poor health outcomes. Historically, African American populations have been denied opportunities for quality and safe care.  As a result, African American women receive reduced healthcare quality and are given less attention while accessing care. The inequality is prevalent among pregnant African American women who are four times likely to succumb to pregnancy-related complications (CDC, 2019). Healthcare disparities contribute to poor quality of care and pregnancy-related complications among African American pregnant women.

System barriers, including sexism and racism, contribute to income inequality and poor health outcomes among African American women. According to the National Partnership for Women & Families (2018), Black women’s median wages are $36,227 annually. The amount is $21,698 less than white, non-Hispanic men’s median wages. Because of these income differences, African American Women and their dependents have inadequate finances to support their households. Additionally, they are forced to choose between healthcare, food, childcare, and housing because of their inadequate income. Thus, African Americans’ poor economic status affects their use of healthcare services and health outcomes.

 Limited access to insurance coverage undermines African American women’s access to quality and safe care. According to National Partnership for Women & Families (2018), African American women are underinsured because of their socioeconomic status.  These financial barriers limit African Americans’ access to necessary care, including prenatal care. Consequently, African American women suffer from preventable chronic health illnesses and medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. These health conditions affect pregnant women‘s health outcomes. Lack of adequate finances causes African American women to remain underinsured and suffer from preventable medical conditions that influence their pregnancy outcomes.

 Risk Factors Contributing to Black Women Disparity in Healthcare

 Pregnant black women are exposed to multiple risk factors like low socioeconomic status, poverty, poor physical health, and restricted to prenatal care access. According to American progress, these disparities emerge from African American’s women gender and racial discrimination in their lives. The disparities are as described:

 

Socioeconomic and Poverty Status

Despite controlling socio-economic status and education, black women are still at increased risk for infant and maternal mortality. Also, after controlling for health status, maternal age, and gestational age, the likelihood of dying from delivery or pregnancy complications are three times higher than non-Hispanic women(Novoa & Taylor, 2018). The authors also indicate that college-educated black women are likely to lose their babies than non-Hispanic white peers with the same level of education. These analyses suggest that both educated and non-educated African American women face disparities in accessing healthcare services. Black women, whether educated or undereducated are undervalued by the healthcare system. They are not monitored as their white counterparts. According to American Heart Association News (2019), healthcare workers tend to dismiss African American women’s symptoms, as in Serena Williams’

Ethical Implications If the Potential Solution Were to be implemented

According to the ethical principle of self-determination and autonomy, healthcare providers should inform patients if a medication error occurs. Therefore, even if the organization requires healthcare providers to report medication errors, they should inform patients about the errors regardless of the consequences. According to the principle of nonmaleficence and beneficence, healthcare workers should avoid harm. Instead, they should focus on the patient’s best interest (Sorrell, 2017).  Therefore, healthcare providers should take necessary actions to minimize adverse consequences caused by medication errors.

Analyzing a Current Health Care Problem or Issue Capella University NHS4000: Developing a Health Care Perspective

Describing the Healthcare Problem of Issue

The healthcare issue is medication error. The annual cost of tackling medication error is approximately $6billion and $ 29 billion annually (Foster et al., 2018). Although student nurses and other health professionals take an oath not to harm their patients, medication error remains a significant public health challenge that undermines patient safety. Various reasons prevent healthcare providers from reporting these errors.  In their study, Soydemir et al. (2017) found that fear prevented healthcare professionals from reporting medication errors. Nurses and physicians prefer not to report the errors they witness or commit for fear of being condemned or blamed. Also, hospital administration does not offer nurses and physicians adequate support when reporting errors, thus, diminishing their likelihood of reporting the error. Other barriers to error reporting include a lack of an error reporting system or complicated reporting systems that are difficult to use or lacks functionality.  In summary, medication errors are preventable, but individual and organizational factors undermine reporting these errors.

Possible Causes of Medication Errors

Various factors contribute to medication errors. They include exposure to illegal prescription, insufficient medication knowledge, incorrect calculations, staffing levels, workloads, interruptions, distractions, and drug rounds.  According to Kavanagh (2017), illegal prescriptions contribute to medication errors because they undermine safe prescription policies. Although computer-based systems minimize medication errors, not all healthcare settings have implemented them.

Sources of evidence in answering a PICOT question


 

The Early Prevention of Obesity in Childhood (EPOCH) model is effective in evaluating prevalence of obesity in a community by addressing childhood obesity (Seidler et al., 2020). The importance of the tool arises from its ability to identify obesity at an early age and therefore come up with effective interventions. The EPOCH model enables for prediction of BMI trajectory and the prevalence of obesity at an early age (Askie et al., 2020). Therefore, this model creates an environment for assessment the epidemiological factors leading to development of obesity. The application of this model is vital to address in the critical parameters in managing of obesity such as cost implications. This model is also important in building support structure to enable individuals with obesity manage the condition at an early age (Tan et al., 2020).

Determining the Credibility of Evidence and Resources

Medication errors

 Medication errors arise from the failure of health providers to exercise due care leading to harm or injury to the patients (Kavanagh, 2017). These errors have led to significant deterioration of quality of life of the patients and increase in healthcare costs. Medication errors are preventable events considering that they arise due to inappropriate use of medication or failure to follow due procedure in delivery of healthcare services (Dos Santos et al., 2018). Studies have shown that medication errors lead to an increase in the health care associated fatalities and comorbidities (Kavanagh, 2017). In most cases, medication errors arise due to inability of healthcare professionals to adopt evidence-based practices and patient-centred care in delivery of health care services. This implies that to reduce medication errors, it is fundamental to collect evidence the data that will allow for improvement of areas of weaknesses in a healthcare setting.

NURS-FPX4010 | Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

 Overcrowding in the emergency department (ED) threatens the health of the public and the safety of patients. The problem is attributable to the increase in the number of patients undergoing treatment, assessment, and waiting for the doctor’s appointment (Eiset, Kirkegaard, & Erlandsen, 2019). The resultant effect is increased mortality rates, delays in treatment, and poor patient outcomes (Morley et al., 2018). The proposal, thus, attempts to solve overcrowding in the ED to improve patients’ outcomes and enhance job satisfaction among emergency department staff.

Objective

The plan proposal aims to highlight the need for collaboration between emergency department staff and those in the primary care setting to reduce the number of patients’ visiting the emergency room for minor issues. Additionally, it underscores the importance of increasing the resources in the emergency department to improve the experience of patients and reduce congestion.

Questions and Predictions

        i.            Why is overcrowding a major issue in the emergency department? Overcrowding in the emergency department leads to patient’s dissatisfaction with the quality of care provided,  staff fatigue and burnout, increased patient mortality and morbidity, prolonged hospital stays

   ii.            How will collaboration between the emergency department and primary care setting health professionals help resolve overcrowding in the ED? The collaboration of staff between the two settings will help redirect patients with minor issues to the primary care setting. Physicians in the healthcare setting will be willing to utilize technology to provide care to patients in the evenings and over the weekends to eliminate congestion in the emergency department

    iii.            What is the role of healthcare leaders in solving emergency overcrowding? Provide resources to train  educate patients,  facilitate collaboration between primary care and emergency department staff, and address staffing issues in the ED

Change Theories and Leadership Strategies

Leaders determine the success of changes in an organization. They communicate the change process; encourage people to implement the change process, and continuously update them regarding the progress made. Therefore, the theory of planned change and democratic leadership style will help meet the change objective. Democratic leadership solicits view from individuals affected by the change process to minimize their resistance (Mansaray, 2019). The emergency department employees, the primary care setting medics, and organizational leaders have a significant responsibility in ensuring that the suggested changes are integrated into the culture of the organization.

 The theory of planned change provides steps to consider when examining the issue and identifying solutions to address it. The steps are seven in number and include: diagnosing the problem; assessing the capacity and motivation for change; examining the change agent motivation and resources; designing change strategies and objectives; identifying the change agent role and responsibilities; maintaining the change; and ensuring that the proposed changes become part of organizational culture (Burke, 2017). The seven steps require excellent communication between stakeholders, regular feedback, and practical problem-solving skills. These aspects require collaboration between key stakeholders to address overcrowding in the facility’s emergency department.

Team Collaboration

 The primary objective of the change management program is to reduce overcrowding in the emergency department, and in turn, reduce mortality and morbidity rates as well as healthcare spending.  Therefore, various stakeholders will assume multiple roles in addressing the issue as highlighted in the table below

NHS-FPX6004 |Training Plan and Agenda

The Need for a Training Program

Kindred Hospice is underperforming in various metrics. For instance, the hospital does not provide hospice care patients with timely care, and their pain and related symptoms are not managed well. Also, caregivers are not adequately trained to enhance their competence in the caring of end-of-life patients (Medicare.gov). Therefore, the training of nurses is necessary because they spend most of their time with patients and their families, unlike other healthcare providers (Berry, Connor, & Stuart, 2017). They are also better positioned to educate caregivers about what is expected from them to enhance the experience of hospice care patients. The training will ensure that nurses manage and control patient pain and their disease symptoms while involving caregivers in providing appropriate care to hospice care patients. Their buy-in and support of the practice change guidelines is vital because of their role in managing and controlling pain and their involvement with patients and their families in hospice programs.

Recommendations for Maintaining and Sustaining Adherence to a Policy or Clinical Practice Guidelines Beyond the Initial Implementation Period

Strategies to Help Decrease Non-Compliance with a Policy or Clinical Practice Guidelines

To demonstrate their commitment to evidence-based practice, healthcare organizations should put in place strategies to help decrease non-compliance with clinical practice guidelines or a healthcare policy. The reality of evidence translation as perceived by nurses is that it is always characterized by numerous challenges that must first be addressed for a successful transition to occur (Krudsen et al., 2021). One of the strategies to ensure compliance with evidence-based practice is to train nurses to implement a particular policy. During such training, the organization should communicate the rationale for a given practice change and its impacts on patient outcomes. Training basically increases the nurses’ skills, knowledge, and attitudes regarding a particular healthcare policy (Qumseya et al., 2021; Sasaki et al., 2020). Nurses will feel motivated to implement the policies outlined in clinical practice guidelines when they are empowered to perform the associated tasks thereby leading to compliance.

Another strategy that may help to increase compliance to clinical practice guidelines is leadership support. An organization’s leadership provide both human and non-human resources that are needed to support the delivery of quality healthcare services (Qumseya et al., 2021). McArthur et al. (2021) identified leadership support and availability of resources to be among the key facilitators of evidence-based nursing practice compliance. As Qumseya et al., (2021) explain, ensuring that nurses have access to clinical practice guidelines improves guidelines adherence and compliance. Therefore, the leadership should provide nurses with clearly documented clinical practice guidelines at the point of care to improve compliance. An organization that is able to address the barriers to evidence-based nursing practice compliance will be able to increase adherence to a healthcare policy or clinical practice guidelines.

NURS FPX 4030 PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach ​​​​​​​PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach

PICO(T) inquiries play a crucial role in formulating research questions for addressing chronic diseases. The “T” represents Time or Type of Study, while “PICO” encompasses Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome. By specifying these components, clinicians and researchers can develop targeted and actionable study questions. Employing a PICO(T) structure ensures precision, relevance, and the ability to answer research questions with available data. Evaluation of research data and clinical knowledge remains pivotal in adopting an evidence-based approach to managing chronic diseases. Clinicians can improve patient outcomes by integrating the best available evidence into their practice through the use of PICO(T) questions and other tools (McClinton, 2022).

NURS FPX4060 Assessment 1 Health Promotion Plan

Health Promotion Plan

Health promotion plans are necessary to attain a quality of life and improve health services because issues like bullying have become common in many countries (Armitage, 2021). However, nurses are crucial and play an important role in developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues. The major reason for these concerns, like bullying, is health illiteracy, that people are unaware of available resources and the consequences of such concerns (Armitage, 2021). Therefore, in this assessment, I will plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience about bullying to promote quality of life and the importance of health promotional plans. Furthermore, SMART goals will be incorporated to reduce the health disparities and consequences of bullying.

Results of Poor Collaboration in Management of Human and Financial Resources

From my personal experience, it is pretty much clear now that poor collaboration can result in a lot of inefficiencies that may become a barrier to providing improved healthcare service. Poor collaboration means poor communication which causes a lot of misunderstanding and delay during change management. Collaboration in several kinds of literature has been identified as the capability to work cooperatively with other professionals, build teamwork by sharing responsibilities, embrace complementary roles, and enhance decision-making to carry out the plans (Busari et al., 2017). In my scenario, poor collaboration mostly confused the task assigned, and poor teamwork resulted in the inefficiency of the time for the system to be functional.

Describe a minimum of two referrals you would make for the client and include your rationale. Referring parents to a behavior therapist can be advantageous. Behavior therapy is a validated approach for treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), known to enhance a child's behavior, self-control, and self-esteem (Nazarova et al., 2022). It is particularly effective for young children

when implemented by parents. Health professionals suggest that providers should refer parents of children under 12 years for behavior therapy training. Through this training, parents learn skills and strategies to assist their child with ADHD in succeeding at school, at home, and in social settings (Nazarova et al., 2022). Certain school-based management strategies are effective for students with ADHD, including behavioral classroom management and organizational training. Additionally, cognitive training interventions such as cognitive enhancement, working memory training, attention enhancement, and neurofeedback may also be advantageous referrals (Nazarova et al., 2022).

Identify at least one complementary and alternative therapy (CAM) that you would recommend if requested by the parents. Describe this therapy and identify which therapies would be contraindicated.

If Naomi's parents are interested in complementary and alternative therapy, I would recommend mindfulness meditation. This practice involves staying present and calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations (Searight et al., 2012). Mindfulness meditation can help Naomi increase her emotional awareness, develop better self-control, and reduce stress through guided meditation and breathing exercises. These techniques can improve her emotional regulation, lower anxiety, and stress, and enhance her concentration and academic performance (Searight et al., 2012). However, I would advise against therapies like hypnotherapy, which may be too complex for her age, and herbal supplements, which could interact with medications or cause

The first referral would be to a child therapist. Naomi has gone through many things she may have not fully processed like her dad being in jail her mom’s work schedule and the recent news of her parents getting divorced. These things are probably why she’s acting out and being aggressive. A child psychologist can provide one-on-one therapy sessions, like CBT or DBT to help Naomi deal with her feelings, recognize behavior patterns, and learn ways to cope (Ghosh et al., 2017). The therapy will also help address her aggression issues improving how she handles emotions while boosting her communication skills.

Based on the case, identify pharmacologic and/or nonpharmacologic treatments you would recommend. Provide support from a scholarly source to support your decision

The primary method for addressing Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in children involves interventions such as therapy and coaching (Helander et al., 2022). These non-drug treatments aim to help the child understand the root causes of their anger and acquire techniques for self-improvement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is particularly effective in assisting the child in identifying and changing behaviors by recognizing the patterns that lead to these actions. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides children with strategies to manage their emotions (Helander et al., 2022).

Pharmacological treatments are typically considered if symptoms like aggression and emotional instability persist despite these interventions (Helander et al., 2022). While there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for ODD, clinicians may sometimes recommend antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone or mood stabilizers in conjunction with antipsychotics, such as lithium and olanzapine.

Exploring the Effect of Stigma on the Family of Someone with a Mental Health Illness and How it Impacts on Relationships Introduction

Mental illness is one of the burdens for some families in the society (Arditti, 2015, p.33). The well-being of people with mental illness (PWMI) and their family members can be improved when the symptoms are identified and managed appropriately and promptly. The management of factors that elevate the effects of the condition can also be used to enhance the well-being of patients and their family. However, stigma makes it difficult to manage mental illness due to its adverse impacts on patients and their families. Corrigan (2016, p. 209) argues that stigma increases the challenge of caring for mentally ill patients. The purpose of this project is to explore the effects of stigma on the family of PWMI. The study also explores how stigma affects relationships. The study will provide insights that are useful in formulating anti-stigma campaigns and improve th

How were treaties formed and broken between whites and Native Americans in North America? essay

The history of treaty-making between white settlers and Native American tribes in North America is marked by a consistent pattern of unequal power dynamics, broken promises, and the systematic erosion of Indigenous sovereignty. From the earliest colonial encounters to the later expansion of the United States, this fraught relationship was characterized by an imbalance of political and military might that allowed the white majority to dictate the terms of these agreements.

Why were slaves treated poorly during the Civil War era? essay

Why were slaves treated poorly during the Civil War era? essay


Assistant

Poe
Here is a possible essay response on why slaves were treated poorly during the Civil War era:

The abhorrent treatment of slaves during the Civil War era was a direct result of the brutal and dehumanizing institution of slavery itself. The slave system in the United States was built upon a foundation of racist ideology that viewed African Americans as inferior, subhuman beings who existed solely to serve the economic and social interests of their white owners.

At the heart of this oppressive system was the complete denial of basic human rights and freedoms for the enslaved population. Slaves were legally considered the personal property of their owners, stripped of any autonomy or ability to control their own lives. This objectification of human beings allowed slave owners to justify the most egregious forms of cruelty and exploitation.

Slaves were routinely subjected to physical abuse, including whippings, beatings, and other violent punishments, as a means of maintaining strict discipline and control. Slave owners wielded absolute power over every aspect of their slaves' lives, from where they lived and worked to the most intimate details of their personal relationships. The systematic tearing apart of slave families, through the sale and relocation of parents, children, and spouses, was a devastating psychological trauma inflicted upon the enslaved.

Beyond the physical hardships, slaves were also denied access to education, literacy, and any real opportunity for betterment or advancement. This willful deprivation of knowledge and skill was a calculated strategy to keep the enslaved population dependent and subservient to their masters. The living and working conditions of slaves were often abysmal, with inadequate food, shelter, and medical care, further underscoring the complete disregard for their wellbeing and humanity.

The cruel treatment of slaves during the Civil War era was not an aberration, but rather the logical conclusion of a profoundly unjust and inhumane system. The racist ideologies that underpinned slavery allowed slave owners to justify the most egregious forms of cruelty, as they sought to maintain their power and economic dominance over an entire population of people. The scars of this dark chapter in American history continue to reverberate to this day.

Discussion Questions Transformation of the economic, political, and social patterns of indigenous African communities through the Atlantic Slave Trade

Discussion Questions

Transformation of the economic, political, and social patterns of indigenous African

communities through the Atlantic Slave Trade

 
Economic
Indigenous Africans concentrated on resin, orchil, gold, spices, cattle, and people as
resources that determined their commercial prowess before the Atlantic slave trade. Senegal and
Gambians traded iron and stored them in their household as an example of economic superiority
(M&#39;Baye, 2006, p. 611). The situation explains the economic stability and sufficiency among
indigenous African before the coming of Europeans and the Atlantic slave trade initiation. The
Atlantic trade transitioned the Africans economic stability to economic inequality since chiefs
and warlords liaised with European countries to oppress their own and ensure that they achieved
economic supremacy over other local people in Africa (M&#39;Baye, 2006, p. 611). The trade further
transformed the economy negatively due to the loss of skills, technological expertise, top talents,
and productive African men sold during the Atlantic slave trade.
Social
Before the Atlantic slave trade, there was unity, peace, and cohesion among indigenous
Africans. The division and lust that accompanied European countries engaged in the Atlantic
slave trade such as Portugal, led to intertribal wars, instability, hate, and division among
indigenous Africans (M&#39;Baye, 2006, p. 617). The present-day instability witnessed in many
African countries arose mainly from the Atlantic slave trade since the love for money and fame
arising from slave commercialization was a blow to peace and unity as social patterns that
indigenous Africans revered. The loss of strong African men negatively impacted social security
since women were not in a pole position to protect their household from external attacks

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 3
(M&#39;Baye, 2006, p. 618). The rise of family woes and instability arose since men who were the
head of families were traded to European countries. The Atlantic trade therefore transformed
indigenous African families and entire society negatively.
Political
African had an ideal political balance before the introduction of the Atlantic trade.
Africans began preying on each other since the slave trade acted as a source of authority and
power. The situation contributed to political violence and power struggle among the African
slave traders. For instance, in 1770, the King of Greej Dynasty organized grand pillages in the
Kajhoor and Bawool Kingdoms, in northwestern and central Senegal, kidnapping slaves who
later sold to the European Goree Island (M&#39;Baye, 2006, p. 611). The sales led to tensions among
kingdoms and the political and instability witnessed in Senegal and other African countries
strongly affected by the Atlantic slave trade.

Describe this commercialization and its subsequent effects.

The aftermath of the Atlantic trade was dire in the African countries. African economies
were mainly run on financial gains arising from the slave trade and European influence. After the
abolition of the slave trade, European turned their attention to exploring African resources
(Hermann, 2014, p. 3). The concentration on the African resources contributed to the commercial
sales of the resources. Europeans integrated Africans into the labor market, a situation that
defined the commercialization of the African economies. Since African were peaceful and
believed in the barter trade, the monetary aspect&#39;s inclusion in exchange for the resources dealt
the economic and social unity a blow. The tension that arose between African intermediaries and
rulers contributed to the loss of lives and overdependence on the monetary factors as
determinants of political and social supremacy (Hermann, 2014, p. 3). The rulers intended to

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 4
gain control over resources and have the upper hand in British trade. At the same time, the
middlemen also intended to cement their authority in Africans after the abolition of the slave
trade. The tension led to the collapse of the indigenous African political authority.
Commercialization of African economies further contributed to the need for an
adaptation by the canoe industry, mainly in Nigeria. Since the political and economic tension
was prevalent, Africans adapted to the changes and the stability of the economy regardless of
negative external forces from European invasion in African markets (Hermann, 2014, p. 3). The
commercialization of the African economy that involved the trading of African resources

Section 2: Observation of the Art-Making of the Young Child The nature of child’s art experience and gleaning about the process of children’s art- making

 

Observation of artmaking processes is very crucial for any parent, and for art teachers.
This is because it is through observation that one is able to tell if a child really enjoys art making
as Gibbs (2005) asserts that art making for children is mainly about self-discovery and joy. For
instance, I could tell Juliana was in a happy mood as she drew flowers with smiling faces. Also,
as Richards (2007) asserts, it is through observation that the core value of art making processes
in children are validated. As a teacher, I am very much interested in providing young children
with the space and time to develop concepts as well as self-discover through the process of art
making while at the same time having fun.
Personal beliefs about children’s art making
Parnell (2012) Suggest that the beliefs, experiences, and perceptions of art teachers and
parents of young children influence the art making process of the children. I am personally very
passionate about unleashing the creativity of young children especially through art making. Just
as Terreni (2010) suggests, I believe that art has meaning and that artists, whether children or
adults, use art to communicate both personal and social ideas. Juliana used the three dots in her
second painting to communicate that she perceived me as a happy person. In addition to this, I
believe that just as Richards (2007) explains in the article, having an experimental and
constructivist approach is very important for in-service and pre-service early childhood
education teachers as it transcends to the children as well. This is mainly because I believe that
as Anning (2002) explains, one cannot be sensitive to the different art experiences of children
unless one experiences self-revelation and finds pleasure in art making. I believe that the art
making process among young children improves with time more so when parents and art
teachers discuss the art work with the children.

Would you, as the CFO, finance your projects as soon as possible if the cost of capital was expected to drop? Please explain.


As a CFO one always needs to project and predict the trend of a given interest rate in a
market environment. This, in turn, helps in coming up with a decision on the viability of the
project. I would finance them incase my project capital was to drop since I would want to be in
such a low fixed rate in order to insure my project from depleting its finances due to high rates in
interest. The overall cost of capita is actually the interest rate which costs the business to
obtaining financing. As a CFO if the total cost of the capital is bound to drop, then I would
finance it in future when the overall cost would have just dropped (Parrino, 2014) .

Palladium has decided to focus on 20 independent markets (i.e. 60 dealers in all). Assume that these dealers (markets) are “average” for the region with mean sales per dealer =$9,200 per year and mean sales per market = $27,600 per year. The average sales per independent dealer (all 3 brands including Palladium) = $116,000 per year. The objective is to increase Palladium sales in these markets so that Palladium is the second brand in each dealer (i.e. representing an average market share of 30% in each store.). You may ignore the effect of sales growth due to the expansion of the market. Assume that i) in the first year 50% of the desired increase will be achieved; ii) in the second and third years 100% of the desired increase will be achieved, i.e. the increase reaches a maximum in Year 2 and is maintained at the same level in Year 3. a) Ignoring the time value of money, what level of increased fixed costs could be expended to break even over the 3 year- period? b) How would incorpor

Palladium has decided to focus on 20 independent markets (i.e. 60 dealers in all).
Assume that these dealers (markets) are “average” for the region with mean sales per dealer
=$9,200 per year and mean sales per market = $27,600 per year. The average sales per
independent dealer (all 3 brands including Palladium) = $116,000 per year. The objective is to
increase Palladium sales in these markets so that Palladium is the second brand in each dealer
(i.e. representing an average market share of 30% in each store.). You may ignore the effect of
sales growth due to the expansion of the market.
Assume that

i) in the first year 50% of the desired increase will be achieved;
ii) in the second and third years 100% of the desired increase will be achieved, i.e.
the increase reaches a maximum in Year 2 and is maintained at the same level in
Year 3.
a) Ignoring the time value of money, what level of increased fixed costs
could be expended to break even over the 3 year- period?
b) How would incorporating the time value of money impact this analysis?
Assume a 10% discount rate. Calculate the revised break even increase
in fixed cost to break even over the 3 year time horizon..
Which of the 2 approaches ( a or b) would you recommend? Explain.

Note: to simplify the analysis you may assume that all the increased fixed costs are expended
at the beginning of Year 1 and the increased sales are booked at the end of Year 1 (50%),
Year 2 (100%) and Year 3 100%), respectively.

You may submit the Quiz by BB or hard copy. It is due by 11:00 AM, Monday, 10/15/2012.

Critical Analysis of the Economic and Conflict Theories of Social Change


Analyzing the two approaches to sparking change in a given society, it is clear that both
theories focus on the same issues, namely the social, political and economic issues affecting
groups of people. Unlike the conflict theory, however, the Economic theory takes a broad
approach in describing that all changes required in a given society are related to the state of its
economy. As such, it can be inferred that the economic theory focuses on creating social actions
to improve the state of an economy with the broad goal of supporting changes in other social
spheres (Wilks, 2012). Notably, this theory is more effective in creating impetuses for soc

Comparative Analysis of Self-Advocacy and Peer Advocacy Models


According to Stewart &amp; MacIntyre (2019), self and peer advocacy are widely different
mainly because they address personal and group issues respectively. It, therefore, follows that
self-advocacy is designed for individuals to address personal issues affecting their social,
economic or any other spheres of life (Wilks, 2012). This means that the model is not adequate
for improving specific issues facing people in a given society. Peer advocacy, on the other hand,
is designed to create a platform for individuals, sharing a common background or problem in
their society join forces to remedy the same.

How has climate has affected the dynamics of conflicts in Africa?

Abstract

How has climate has affected the dynamics of conflicts in Africa? Existing exploration demonstrates that climate change can build the danger of  conflicts or essentially adjust the elements of existing conflicts. In this article, we address the issue in light of the primary efficient audit of both quantitative and qualitative methods . we assess to what degree the literature gives coherent clarifications that distinguish important systems, actors, and results. Furthermore, we talk about the normal worldly and spatial conveyance of viciousness and the perplexing political variables inferred in the writing. There is no immediate and direct connection between climatic changes and conflict, but in specific situations impact factors that lead to conflict.

 

The effect of environmental change is progressively explained as one of the most genuine security threats in future and a far more prominent risk to the world's stability than terrorism. For a few, current clashes for instance in Darfur may be partly because climatical change and ecological debasement. It is contended that environmental change incorporates the danger of reshaping the landscape, worsening sustenance, water and vitality shortages and  adding to destabilization, unregulated populace developments and tension. Regardless of whether natural changes actuate expanded challenge between users  of scarce resources. Drawing on recent instances of contentions between pastoralist communities in eastern Africa, the move from expanded challenge over resources to open conflict relies on existing adapting limits of social orders and the strategies, establishments and procedures that characterize access to resources.

"How the Values of an Organization Impact Nurse Engagement and Patient Outcomes"


Work engagement is truly crucial to organizational efforts in retaining nurses as well as mitigating future nursing scarcity. The structure and management of an institution have a substantial impact on the value of service delivered by a nurse. In their twin role as caretakers and organization custodians, nurses have the input to create a culture of engagement. The two values, which are; the values of an organization and the values of the nurse can dictate the quality of services a nurse can offer. Alignment of these values have made nurses recognize the responsibility to equally care for as well as advance the interests of the career, it is impractical to claim any ability in advancing the wellbeing of the patient. In nursing, caring for the patient is a straight result to care for the career (Watson, 2008).

My goals for the future are simple: I want to become a nurse so that I can make a difference in the world, and I want to achieve this at the College of New Rochelle. The reasons I aspire to become a College of New Rochelle graduate are that I agree wholeheartedly with the mission statement of the school of nursing, which is to care for people with “compassion, empathy, and altruism.” To me, becoming a nurse is more than just a career move. I recognize that caring for people’s physical needs without accounting for their emotional and spiritual health is not enough. The times that I have been sick, I have noticed the difference between doctors and nurses who care, and those who are just performing their duties. The warmth that can be transmitted in a smile or encouraging word should not be underestimated.

Case Study: Medical Treatment Against Cultural Beliefs John Blackrock, a 50-year-old renowned Native American artist known for his intricate beadwork and paintings, is diagnosed with an early-stage form of lung cancer at the Evergreen Health Clinic. The diagnosis comes as a shock to John, who has always led a healthy lifestyle, deeply rooted in the traditions and practices of his ancestors. Upon discussing treatment options, Dr. Emily Stone, a young oncologist with a passion for patient-centered care, recommends a combination of surgery followed by chemotherapy. She 1 believes this approach offers John the best chance of full recovery. However, John, deeply connected to his cultural roots, expresses his wish to forgo the conventional treatment. Instead, he wants to seek healing through traditional Native American practices, which include herbal medicine, spiritual rituals, and guidance from tribal elders. Dr. Stone, while respectful of cultural diversity, is deeply concerned. She's see

Medical Treatment Against Cultural Beliefs ; the case study focuses on John Blackrock who is  a 50-year-old Native American artist diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. When presented with treatment options by Dr. Emily Stone, John explains his desire to forego conventional treatment. He reasons that traditional Native American healing practices are better. Mr. John is deeply rooted in cultural beliefs thus the influence of his expression of foregoing conventional treatment. Dr. Stone, while respecting her patient’s autonomy, is concerned about possible consequences of forgoing medical treatment. Dr. Stone believes that the treatment would offer best chances of recovery. In that case, the ethical problem that was identified is clash between John’s cultural beliefs and medical recommendation for conventional treatment. John has right to autonomy to make decisions about his own health. Decision of John about his health seem to go against duty of Dr. Stone to act in his best interest by upholding principle of beneficence. Moreover, there is a possibility of conflict between respecting cultural diversity and promotion of optimal health outcomes for the patient.

Therefore, the individual who are involved in the ethical problem compose of John Blackrock, Dr. Emily Stone, and possibly the community where John is coming from. The reason for including the community is that decision made by John may influence others within his community. To fully understand the ethical problem, it can be analyzed through the three components of ethical decision-making model that was provided by Capella University. The components consist of moral awareness, moral judgment, and ethical behavior. With concept of moral awareness, Dr. Stone is morally aware of how significant culture is to John but she must balance this with her judgment that conventional treatment offers best chance of recovery. Regarding ethical behavior, Dr. Stone has to navigate tension between respecting John’s autonomy and her responsibility to promote his well-being. According to the article by Bullock (2023), it has been found out that both well-being of the patient and respect to patient autonomy are essential in all circumstances. This Bullock (2023)’s article has to be included in analysis of the ethical problem because it is offering knowledge that autonomy as well as well-being of a patient has to be both prioritized. Principally, there are several factors that contribute to ethical problem in the Medical Treatment Against Cultural Belief as the selected case study.

 

Dr. Stone seemed to have used the three components of ethical decision making model which are moral awareness, moral judgment, and ethical behavior. She used them to resolve the ethical problem that she is facing. First, she familiarizes herself with ethical dilemma when John expresses his wish to forgo conventional treatment so that he can use traditional Native American practices such as herbal medicine. As such, Dr. Stone seem to understand importance of respecting patient autonomy that John has and cultural beliefs. At the same time, she is trying to acknowledge her duty to provide best possible medical care to her patient. Such action by Dr. Stone show that she values moral awareness so as to be able to approach situation with sensitivity and empathy. Another component that Dr. Stones used is moral judgment since she is able to carefully weigh competing ethical principles of autonomy and beneficence. Responsibility taken by Dr. Stone can be noticed when she advocates for conventional treatment. Her advocacy was influenced by her medical expertise and concern for well-being of John while she also gave priority to his right to make decisions about his own health care. It seems that Dr. Stone engaged in shared decision-making with John so as to collaboratively explore alternative treatment options might integrate traditional practices with medical interventions that she proposed to him

In addition to moral judgement, Dr. Stone has shown ethical behavior when she communicated openly with John. During the communication she provided information about treatment options while at the same time respecting autonomy of her patient throughout decision-making process. Dr. Stone created a supportive environment so as to make John to feel empowered when participating in decisions about his care. As a consequence, ethical behavior portrayed by Dr. Stone led to a treatment plan that favored cultural identity and medical needs of John which in turn led to promotion of better health outcomes and patient satisfaction. Apart from responsibility and priorities of Dr. Stone, there are some lessons that healthcare professionals can learn from this case study. Some of the lessons comprise of importance of actively listening to patients, respecting their autonomy, and working together with them to develop t

Nurse retention becomes successful when they believe that their assignments are equitable and doable.  Experiencing a sense of gratification and achievement at the end of a nurse’s shift and the belief that proper care was provided, improves staff satisfaction and finally retention.  Other important elements include motivating staff to exercise skills such as critical thinking when implementing proper solutions to the issues that may occur during the shifts, communicating their expectations to the nursing supervisors, and setting flexible care priorities (Dunham-Taylor and Pinczuk, 2006).

Significantly, Brown proved through personal experience that pleurodesis is still painful even with the administration of pain medication but strongly argue that it was necessary to injure the patient in the controlled, short-term way in order to ease the lungs to breathe and prevent long-term recurrence and further serious complications. In the field of medicine, a number of procedures are done in this way to make the patient feel better.

Discuss the challenges that either Erin OR Michelle and their mothers 1 experienced whilst seeking hospital care, and synthesize your argument with the literature about hospital experiences for people with intellectual disability. (20 marks)

As people with intellectual disabilities happen to show destructive behaviour and lack verbal communication, they are unable to talk about what they are feeling the doctor assumed that it was normal (Ruddick et al., 2015). With the lack of government policy and service development in the Australian health care system, there is a disturbing pattern of unnecessary death for people with intellectual disabilities. The average life expectancy of people with an intellectual disability is just 54 years old as they are the potential risk factor due to the lack of good health care. This is another challenge Ein has to face which is the lack of proper healthcare for patients with intellectual disabilities (Latteck & Bruland, 2020). The negligence of doctors to properly treat the patient shows the health inequalities which result in the death of each 1 in 3 disabled patients. The health inequalities and lack of good healthcare, Erin's condition got even worse. The people like Michelle who have an intellectual disability have some potential risk factors like Cardiometabolic risk factors, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, and Obesity. Due to the inequalities and lack of proper health care by the health professionals of the hospital she died from Meningitis. Meningitis is a liquid membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cords of the brain. It is mostly caused due to the lack of proper hygiene in the surrounding. After autopsying, it was found due to poor hygiene and health care of Michelle she died(Bouzid et al., 2018). The cause of her death was solely the fault of the healthcare professionals and hospitals. The proper management of the hospital is also the big challenge Michelle had to face. Erin`s mother who could witness and understand her daughter's pain the healthcare professionals fail to address it and she was made to leave, and Michelle was discharged early. The hospital discharging in a critical situation shows the irresponsibility of the hospital toward the patients.

Applying Ethical Principles: Ethical Problems in Nursing Management

Ethical Dilemma Faced by Healthcare Professionals Name: Institution: Course Code: An ethical dilemma is defined as the predicament that arises when one is faced with a difficult problem, and the solution to the challenge will not satisfy everyone. In medical practice, such predicament occurs when a medical situation arises that involves a choice between equally unacceptable options. This paper will describe the possible solution emphasis to be developed to the particular ethical dilemma faced by a health care professional; the solution will also be in line with ethical principles. The ethical dilemma to analyze will be from the measles case that the medical director of open Arms medical center is faced with. The community in focus will be the low- income, East African immigrants that are usually served by the Medical Centre. The ethical dilemma facing the medical Centre will require a long lasting solution that will also counter the anti-vaccine campaign that prevents the immigrant community from being vaccinated. Already the impact of the dilemma is felt in the number of patients who have presented with the measles case in the society. The paper will do an analysis of the ethical issue; it will also discuss the communication approaches that were used by the Piper banks whether her communication approach was effective in resolving the ethical dilemma. Finally, the paper will focus on the strategies that piper used to address the ethical issues, and whether the approaches were effective, from the methods, the paper will be able to discuss the possible solution to resolve the ethical dilemma and explain how the ethical principle relate to the solution. The mentioned case of measles outbreak brings forth medical dilemma, which comes solved through the provision of a lasting solution that favorable to the immigrant community.

NURS FPX 4020 Assessment 1 Enhancing Quality and Safety

Solutions Based on Evidence-based Best Practices

The teach-back method is a proven and effective patient education strategy. It involves patients restating the information they have received in their own words. This helps healthcare providers ensure that patients have understood the information correctly and correct any misunderstandings immediately. This interactive technique has been shown to improve the retention and understanding of medical advice significantly. In addition to this method, standardized patient education materials are also essential. Patient comprehension is greatly improved by providing evidence-based and patient-centric materials in various languages. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) offers comprehensive guidelines for creating universally accessible educational content (Borson et al., 2023).

Effective communication skills are essential for healthcare providers. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends integrating communication training into the licensing requirements for healthcare professionals. This will ensure that patient interactions are tailored to suit diverse literacy levels and eliminate potential barriers to understanding. Additionally, digital platforms have transformed patient education. Patient portals serve as digital gateways, providing access to personal health information, educational resources, and a direct link to healthcare providers. This digital engagement is a powerful tool for enhancing patient involvement in their care, reinforcing the educational foundation laid during face-to-face interactions.

The Role of Nurses in Coordinate Care 

Nurses stand at the forefront of patient education, serving as educators and advocates to enhance understanding and compliance. Through the careful conduct of needs assessments, they customize education plans to the individualized needs, literacy levels, and learning styles of each patient. They capitalize on downtime, such as the quiet moments during post-procedure monitoring, to revisit and reinforce crucial health information. As patients transition across various healthcare settings—from inpatient to outpatient, from hospital to home—it is the nurses who ensure that patient education is a consistent thread linking these diverse care environments.

For instance, consider a nurse meticulously explaining the intricacies of anticoagulation therapy to a patient with atrial fibrillation (Appiah et al., 2023). By breaking down complex information into digestible language, utilizing visual aids for clarity, and employing the teach-back method to verify understanding, the nurse significantly mitigates the risk of complications associated with non-adherence, such as stroke, thereby exemplifying the critical role nurses play in safeguarding patient health through education.

The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health: A Comprehensive Analysis

1. Introduction

The impact of social media on mental health has been a topic of interest for over a decade, with a growing consensus that it may harm users in a variety of ways. Recent multi-wave longitudinal studies have further supported this hypothesis. However, there is widespread agreement that the causality of social media and mental health is confounded. In the absence of strong experimental evidence, researchers sometimes need to rely on different sources of evidence, such as statistical methods and quasi-experiments. Apart from discussing the evidence base and indicating future directions for research, this paper provides a taxonomy and classification of different mechanisms through which social media might impact users' mental health, in addition to the stigma attached to these platforms.

The Impact and Potential of Precision Medicine in Modern Healthcare

1. Introduction

Medicine, introduced as a formal system of care delivery after the Quantitative Revolution (17th century), today stands on the threshold of its next great leap. Medicine is poised to transition into a modern scientific discipline from its current majority organic grip; a capability that is being made possible through the comprehensive use of device sensors and analytics. The soon-to-be-here reality - trillions of data points available on the health status of individuals - is an incredibly exciting chapter in the history of medicine. It will also be a true expression of engineering and management in human. In popular literature, there is often confusion of terms in the context of health and healthcare. The word health is used casually to denote physical, mental and societal well-being; and healthcare usually refers to all health services and products. Medicine is a vital part of healthcare, and it is the focus of the next-generation medical management, Precision Medicine. Note that broad definitions of health and healthcare are an absolutely essential prelude to this chapter technology-enabled health era.The perfect free essay in just 5 minutes: it's your turn!Let's write

2. Fundamentals of Precision Medicine

In its core, precision medicine is about making optimal therapy choices for the right patients at the right time. This is based on the understanding of what makes each individual unique on a molecular level. Broadly speaking, the pursuit of ever greater precision in patient management, by integrating patient-specific and population-level data, and by exploiting current and new support technologies and systems for healthcare provision, has been the overriding driver of the healthcare process over the past few hundred years. Hence, it is not surprising that precision medicine in the 21st century healthcare marketplace is seen as the logical next step in this long history. Ironically, though, while precision medicine provides a high-profile banner that has attracted political, industry, research funding and public attention, arguably the healthcare system has been working towards molecular-level precision of disease diagnostics and patient management for the past century and a half or more.

The Role of Helicobacter pylori in the Development of Gastric Ulcers and Its Implications for Treatment

1. Introduction

Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that lives in the digestive system, has been recognized as an important part of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue in the past. It is not only the main cause of type B gastritis, but also the most important cause of peptic ulcer formation after the discovery of bacteria in the 1980s. It is also closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer. For the symptomatic dyspepsia population, the H. pylori test and eradication program is of great significance; before or after endoscopic surgery, H. pylori detection and eradication treatment are also considered by the guidelines for the prevention of the first and second peptic ulcers. Certainly, in recent years, drug therapy and surgery have improved, but the patient's recurrence, high cost, long course of treatment, and many adverse reactions have become problems.

Regulating Guns: Is It the Right Solution to Reduce Gun Violence Shootings or Not

 

 

 

The controversial issue of gun control has been the epicenter of discussion for the past decade. As a result of recurring mass shootings that have ended with tragedy and grief, gun violence has divided society into a heated debate to determine the best solution for gun control. On one hand, many individuals believe that restrictions must be enforced on guns. The opposing hand consists of people who do not think that regulating guns is the most favorable act. These individuals mainly consider gun control won’t be the solution to the obstacles and difficulties that guns create like homicides and mass shootings.

I believe that the right to control guns is an effective deterrent. People who abide by the law should have the right to own a gun in cases of self defense. The restrictions that have been placed on firearms and guns will not alter the beliefs of criminals from possessing weapons. In other words, regardless of laws and regulations that are passed which minimize gun usage, criminals will still continue to lash out events of homicide shootings. This is due to the fact that laws do not prevent criminals from performing illegal acts which is what labels people as criminals. These sort of people have intentions to disobey the law and regulations that are placed against gun violence. Since criminals disregard the laws of supply and demand, gun control will not find success and effectiveness. We, as a society must search for other solutions which would prevent the tragedy that criminals perform in public events with their guns. The subject of gun violence will not be solved by gun control nor gun rights since this issue is caused by criminals, the disobedience of laws, and mental illnesses.

 

document

To be blunt, people should understand that mass shootings that are conducted by criminals deal with the supply of illegal guns. Criminals find numerous ways of purchasing and obtaining weapons. The black market is one of the illegal examples. There is an extreme amount of money that flows through the black market. Unfortunately, many people who are in the black market only care about their profit from their illegal firearms and have no regard to who they are selling their firearms too. Since this is illegal, it is almost certain that these firearms are going into the hands of criminals. This shows that criminals have numerous ways of obtaining a gun as long as they have the connections and money to purchase one. If a criminals main priority is to buy a gun, there is nothing that would be able to stop them from acquiring one which is an extremely scary situation.

Goal Weight Clinic (GWC) is a weight loss clinic owned by Fit and Beyond, Inc. It is differentiated from standard weight loss clinics due to its indoor gym facility which is paired with onsite registered dieticians and certified personal trainers. GWC caters to both genders starting at the age of 13yrs old, whose primary aspiration is to adapt a healthy lifestyle. At our clinic we offer meal plans, exercise prescriptions, and massages that will enhance weight loss. Together our services are very impactful and are guaranteed to bring the desired outcome every patient craves. In addition, we also give our patients the options of including dietary supplements, appetite suppressants, or fat burning/energy injections to catalyze their weight loss plan. GWC main site is in Georgia, however in the US we have 5 locations and 1 location in the southern part of Africa. For this marketing proposal, I would like to converse two additional service opportunities that will gain and retain patients in our South Africa location. GWC’s central focus is to revamp our patients lives by establishing a threshold for each individual and determining their physical limits.

A1a. Identify the need in the existing global market for the two new services When making the determination of offering these items on a global scale, research should be conducted to ensure marketability to the target market.

To verify the need in Canada for these items, the company will use direct observation, focus groups and surveys. Direct Observations There are so many ways to observe buying behaviors and much of this is already done within the stores currently. Direct observation is a great way to gather more information from many different areas. “The main advantage of observation research is that it accurately describes behavior without influencing the target under observation”, which is helpful in obtaining more accurate data (Pride, 2014). This form will give the organization a lot of data that can be narrowed down if used in combination with the other two data collection methods should allow us to obtain all of the information we need to move forward. Focus Groups The team will coordinate a focus group of various individuals, that will include men, women and cover all areas from production to sales. Two of the individuals will be from the US Corporate office and the other 8 will be locals to Ottawa, which is the center the scheduled initial launch. We plan to include individuals from the production side, local Starbucks employees and a few customers. This will help to give the company a more well-rounded view of what the process should look like.

C212 Marketing VTT2 Task 1: Starbucks New Services and Marketing in Canada

A1. New Products and Services for Proposal Starbucks is known for their coffee, many different hand-crafted drinks and especially their holiday drinks and red cups. They are dominant in the coffee market in the United States and in many areas around the world. However, in Canada, there are 2 items that could give them the edge over Tim Hortons. Many know Starbucks offers a secret kid’s menu that varies depending on the area you are ordering. One of the items will specifically be an addition for the kid’s menu in Canada. The new item would be a team up with the makers of the Canadian Maple Leaf cookie, Jackman’s. Maple Leaf Cookie frap and Latte (caffeine free) will be geared towards children, but will also be offered in a grande, for the drinking pleasure of adults as well. The second new item is a spin-off of a food that you can find all over Canada, poutine. A Maple Bacon Poutine wrap is a great addition for the Canadian menu. The sandwich will be comprised of maple bacon, hash browns, white cheddar cheese curds and beef gravy wrapped in a tortilla. Since poutine is already such a big item, it would be an intriguing and delicious item for current and new Starbucks customers to try and love.

Provide the rationale for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes as major risk factors for chronic kidney disease.

Cardiovascular disease is a major risk factors for chronic kidney disease. Reduced changes in kidney function is evidenced by lessened glomerular filtration rate and presence of albumin in urea. These are potential cardiovascular risk factor. Impaired kidneys lessen the production of hormone erythropoietin (EPO) that helps in red blood cell production from the bone marrow. Impaired kidney functions leads to anaemia, which can cause left ventricular hypertrophy. This leads to cardiac cell death via apoptosis and worsen cardiac condition. Reduced amount of EPO in renal insufficiency causes cardiac stress through tachycardia and also raised stroke volume. Reduced blood flow within the renal system and fluid retention add further stress to the heart. Inflammation plays a major role in commencement and progression of atherosclerotic process that is a type of inflammation. It is evident that ESRD patients provide serological evidence of activated inflammatory responses because of various causes like reduced renal clearance of cytokines (pro-inflammatory), accumulation of glycation end-products, co-morbidities and other relevant factors associated with dialytic procedure, for example: membrane bioincompatibility, contaminated dialysate and vascular access infections (Adejumo, Okaka, Madumezia, Okwuonu, & Ojogwu, 2015).

At the regional level, the Joint National Committee (JNC) has recommended that hypertensive patients engage in lifestyle modifications for six months. These modifications, according to the JNC, include increased physical exercise and dietary changes for obese patients, low salt intake, and limited alcohol consumption (de la Sierra, 2019). PREMIER trial was the largest clinical trial performed in the US that evaluated the methods of lowering blood pressure through changes in lifestyle. It evaluated the impact on hypertension by making many concomitant adjustments to one’s way of life. This trial showed that weight loss, getting more exercise, and eating well were all great ways to manage hypertension without drugs (Mahmood et al., 2019). Additionally, lifestyle modification and medications can both lower blood pressure within six months, but medications can certainly show their side effects within the six months period (Kebede et al., 2022).

The eMAR system effectively reduces medication errors and adverse events, but there is always room for improvement to enhance technological aid to yield more benefits for the stakeholders. As the eMAR system is a digital system, it operates on electricity; however, if there is a power blackout, the healthcare providers cannot access the patient information, nor can they provide remote healthcare services. To prevent possible healthcare disparities due to delays in treatment caused by power blackouts, the healthcare system can initiate the implementation of a backup power source through generators, solar panels, or an Uninterrupted Power Supply (Guven et al., 2021). This would help ensure that the in-patients and outpatients (remote) are provided access to healthcare services without delay (Bean et al., 2020).

Teaching Strategies for Adult Learners in Nursing NURS FPX 6103 The Nurse Educator Role Assessment 3 Nurse Educator Philosophy Statement

First, I believe in encouraging adult learners to share their previous experiences. Indeed, being an adult and learning implies that one is a late bloomer. Hence, they have gathered much experience in their lives to share with fellow learners to assist them in their learning. Sharing experiences allows nurse students to perceive life and learning from a different perspective, reducing the learning distraction from their expertise (Andersen & Watkins, 2018). Secondly, facilitating interactive learning scenarios is vital for adult learners. For instance, it is crucial to encourage the students to form discussion groups to exchange thoughts about various nursing subjects, share their problems and find solutions as a group (Andersen & Watkins, 2018). Also, using competition is a significant motivation for adult learners. In this strategy, nurse educators could give the students projects that attract rewards to compete to become effective and win

Type 2 diabetes is a severe global public health issue that disproportionately affects the poor, especially Native Americans and Alaskans. In 2009, people eligible for the Indian Health Service (IHS) had a 16.1% age-adjusted diabetes prevalence, more than double that of non-Hispanic white individuals (Jiang et al., 2013). Large-scale public health interventions in Native American communities, such as the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), have proven that lifestyle modifications can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes for people at risk (Jiang et al., 2013). Healthy lifestyle change in the Native American community highly relies on trust and community collaboration. This will ultimately promote a positive outcome.

The second factor which ANA directs the nurses’ focus on is beneficence. This factor highlights the fact that nurses need to reflect a behavior of utmost kindness and patience towards their patient. Patients in rehab centers can often become aggressive but the ethical policies of ANA restrict the nurses that they need to treat the patient with patience and kindness. Another alarming factor that the ANA pours light on is justice. It basically states that nurses should not develop feelings of bias or prejudice against a patient. They should treat all patients equally with topmost care to successfully fulfill their role as the caretaker of the patient. The last ethical policy which ANA emphasizes is non-maleficence. This restricts the nurses in the ethical paradigm that no matter what the prevailing circumstances are, the nurses will not harm the patient or deploy any adverse effects on the patient during the care coordination scheme.

Dr. Angela Kerr acknowledges their concerns and recognizes the controversy that has sparked in recent years, but strongly recommends that Ana become fully vaccinated. Dr. Kerr goes on to explain how vaccines have saved millions of children’s lives and how they are largely responsible for the decrease in child mortality worldwide. She also educates them about the decreased rate of infection with potentially fatal Haemophilus influenzae type b in response to routine immunization. Similarly, how epidemics like the recent outbreak of measles are usually associated with individuals who have not been vaccinated against that pathogen.

Which is sponsored by the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She further educates the Smith’s by addressing the research done on Thimerasol; an ingredient once thought to cause autism and how medical research has proven that it does not increase the risk of ASD.

Finally, Dr. Kerr reminds the Smiths that some children cannot be vaccinated because they have weakened immune systems and that others are too young to be vaccinated. She goes on to say that these children are protected because almost all other children (and adults) have been vaccinated, thus decreasing their exposure to vaccine-preventable illnesses (VPIs). This is known as “herd immunity” and the more parents refuse immunization for their healthy children, the more the rate of VPIs increase. This puts vulnerable children at significant risk of morbidity and mortality.

Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video presentation   Hi, I’m Dinie, and I’m here to present an evidence-based action plan and intervention for a developing country. This intervention’s goal is to assist people with diabetes in enhancing their quality of life and physical well-being. In order to provide digitized healthcare solutions, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) utilize digital monitors and insulin systems, such as glucose meters, insulin syringes, and blood glucose testing monitors. This multimedia presentation will also cover the significance of nurse education in diabetes care (Fleming et al., 2019). Scenario for Capstone Video presentation  The proposed audience for this project was those who had type two diabetes. Due to excessive blood pressure and sugar levels, Anne, a 40-year-old woman, was brought into the ER. her condition was serious because she had no idea about regarding quality care and diabetes self-management. Villa hospital accommodated the workshop on November 3, 2022. All ethical considerations and standards were followed during eight hours meeting time. My patient was suffering from a variety of illnesses, including uncontrolled type 2 diabetes for four years. She also had some other issues related to blood pressure and chest issues, and psychiatric illnesses (Fleming et al., 2019).   Due to a lack of self-management training, Anne had visited the hospital four or five times in the earlier month, but his condition had gotten worse. In my capstone project, I’ll outline techniques for effectively resolving the health diagnosis. The organization used digital equipment and tools for glucose monitoring, such as glucometers, insulin pens, and meters, as well as evidence-based approaches to provide a digital healthcare solution. In two hours, meetings, we also discuss nurses’ roles and how they can effectively provide patients with better care and avoid hospital mismanagement (Sharma & Singh, 2018). Evidence and Peer-Reviewed Literature to Plan and Implement a Capstone Project  Technology developments in the field of diabetes are unstoppable. They present opportunities to enhance patient outcomes through the authorization of self-management by the patient. These technologies must be successfully utilized to achieve better healthcare outcomes and cost-effective treatment. Technology is being used by people with diabetes and healthcare professionals to increase clinical results and patient quality of life (Sharma & Singh, 2018). Examples of these technologies include associated blood glucose meters, glucometers, insulin pens, computerized insulin delivery mechanisms, and data-sharing tools. Telemedicine, telemonitoring, and smartphone mobile applications are also some technological applications that help patients connect with doctors (Nadeem et al., 2021).

PICOT Question Example

The human body comprises complex systems that perform various functions that promote life. The immune system is among the essential systems that prevent the body from infections. Immunity is not limited to the lymphoid system, intact skin, initial inflammatory response, and oral mucosa (Bankanie et al., 2021). Unlike healthy individuals who have improved immunity, patients in the intensive unit (ICU) are at increased risk of several infections due to reduced immunity and invasive life-saving procedures such as endotracheal intubation, central lines, and mechanical ventilation (Chen et al., 2022). As a result, they are susceptible to most infections, including bacteremia, periodontal disease, central line infections, infective endocarditis, and ventilator-acquired pneumonia (VAP). Reducing such infections requires nurse-led interventions to reduce incidences while improving patient outcomes. Among the common interventions aimed at improving oral hygiene, preventing aspiration of micro-biota, and reducing colonization by micro-organisms.

Introduction

While providing care for a patient with preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome, nurses must remain vigilant and observe various maternal assessment findings that can indicate the severity of the condition. Hypertension, marked by elevated blood pressure, is a prominent characteristic, and regular monitoring is crucial to detect any fluctuations or sustained elevation. Patients with preeclampsia often experience rapid weight gain and generalized edema due to fluid retention, primarily affecting the face, hands, and lower extremities. Proteinuria, the presence of protein in the urine, is assessed to evaluate kidney involvement.

In addition to these findings, preeclampsia can manifest vascular constriction in the retina, affecting the blood vessels in the eyes. Nurses can identify signs of retinal vascular compression through a fundoscopic examination. Brisk deep tendon reflexes, known as hyperreflexia, are commonly observed in preeclamptic patients, reflecting abnormal neurological effects. Epigastric pain, severe upper abdominal or epigastric discomfort, may indicate liver involvement and potential complications.

Another thing that is observed for the inefficient screening of the patient is the low staff which may already be burdened with attending the other patients and not providing prominent care to every individual brought in observation.is the infrastructure of the hospital doesn’t have enough space the management of the patient would become a serious issue while providing care to all the patients.

NURS FPX 4020 Assessment 1 Attempt 3 Enhancing Quality and Safety

Medication errors are defined as errors that might occur due to the wrong administration of a drug or dose or prescribing the wrong medication. Medication administration is one of the most common types of medication error. It means to administer the wrong medication either orally or intravenously. Hence, the healthcare community emphasizes providing quality care without medical errors. According to the statistics provided by Patient Network System in 2018, the rate of medication administration error ranges from 8-25% (Schroers et al., 2021). Hence, the healthcare community needs to address the issue related to medication administration errors. The wrong drug administration, dose, duration, and frequency are included in prescribing and dispensing errors.

Scenario Chosen for Medication Administration

In 2014, a medication administration error occurred at Vibra Hospital of Sacramento, California. This administration error took the life of the patient. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) took legal action against the facility and penalized them for about $75,000. The issue was that Levophed (a drug used when a patient is in hypotension) was administered by the nurse 3000-8000 times more than the prescribed dosage intravenously (IV). The medication error was due to certain factors like lack of experience of the nurse, lack of safeguards for any high-alert medication, and the senior nurse did not sign off on dispensing the medication. She did not check the doctor’s prescription that stated Levophed was to be administered only when the blood pressure was below 65. In the report by the CDPH regarding the facility, it was mentioned that the facility has failed to highlight the importance of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)’s and did not implement the policies properly (Hamzaoui & Shi, 2020). 

Elements of Quality Improvement Initiative

Improving the quality of the healthcare facility is linked to improving the care of the patients. Quality improvement means standardizing structures for reducing variation, achieving results that were once hypothetical, and improving outcomes for patients and organizations. Healthcare facilities can improve the quality of care by setting goals, analyzing data provided and not repeating the same mistakes, and communicating with the interprofessional team (Afaya et al., 2021). The Electronic Health Record (EHR) can record a patient’s medical history digitally; it includes progress notes, problems, medications, and critical administrative and clinical data. For improving medication administration errors, barcodes can be used. It will ensure that the right drug is administered every time. A quality improvement plan has four major components.

  • Problem- It is essential to have in-depth knowledge about the problem before finding a solution for it.
  • Goal- Setting a goal is challenging for a lot of healthcare facilities. They have to form a plan for promoting cost-effective health quality. 
  • Aim- The aim is to implement the plan by setting milestones fully.
  • Measure- Baselines should be set to evaluate the success of implementing the plan.

For the success of the quality improvement plan, it is essential to have leadership qualities, knowledge and devotion to make a change. The research shows that medication administration errors (MAEs) have an error rate of 60%, usually due to the administration of the drug at the wrong time, wrong rate or wrong dose (Härkänen et al., 2019). In another study, it has been reported that one in every three adverse drug events occurs due to nurses administering the wrong medication. Medical errors can be reduced by (1) Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) which reduces medical errors by 3.15%. It further reduced medical errors by up to 20% by minimizing the use of wrong acronyms. (2) 2.10% of medical errors are reduced by using Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR). It reduces medical errors by 80% when using barcode readers (Härkänen et al., 2019).

Assessing the Problem; Technology, Care Coordination

In this examination, we will discuss the patient’s health conditions and make better recommendations for improving patient treatment. According to preliminary findings, the new technique will assist diabetic people in improving their health. We also talk about the importance of leadership and management change in dealing with diabetes patients, effective communication tactics, and organizational or governmental policies that improve healthcare difficulties. The findings of this study will aid in the treatment of diabetes disorders as well as future treatment options that will benefit the healthcare system. Diabetes is a common, severe, and life-long condition that impacts an individual’s overall quality of life. I decided to choose diabetes for my project. For improving the quality of life of patients, I am looking for the most useful medical methods and technologies (Gupta et al., 2020).

Role of Leadership and Change Management in Addressing a Patient

The hospital needs a plan for change management that prioritizes leadership, collaboration, and communication to minimize prices and raise the healthcare standard. I spent two clinical hours analyzing a wide range of topics related to diabetes with the medical staff. Leaders build an efficient team and change managers sustain it to improve quality, safety and costs of care. This helps the nursing staff to work effectively under supervision. This strategy will help the organization succeed and also enhancing the quality and safety of diabetes patient care (Reynolds et al., 2020). 

For example, leaders in the healthcare sector should promote developments that improve patient care in healthcare organizations. Healthcare professionals continually promote new and better ways of working and encourage, motivate, and reward creativity. Nurses utilize a variety of technology, such as monitoring blood glucose levels (BGM) using smart meters that are optimized and beneficial implementations of the data gathered through management. The nursing team’s duties concerning the treatment of diabetes include providing information about prevention, approaches for behavior modification, and health coaching, which includes early identification, prevention, and screening for type 2 diabetes (Reynolds et al., 2020).

 The entirety of the interventions complies with the ANA code of ethics, encouraging the diabetic patient about self-care. They have also received the recommendation of the American Diabetes Association, and there is supporting data. Nurses must strike a balance between advocating for their patients and caring for their needs. The four fundamental tenets of ethics are autonomy, beneficence, justice, and non-maleficence (Ayatollahi et al., 2018).  

According to autonomy, every patient has the freedom to exercise independent judgment on their values and views. This responsibility for specific care explains beneficence. Healthcare professionals have a responsibility to treat patients with gentleness, reduce harm, and encourage good behavior. Everyone has the right to receive unbiased and equal treatment. Justice is the treatment of individuals when their interests conflict with those of others. Patients have a right to be protected from harm. Nurses must practice non-maleficence to keep patients safe (Nikitara et al., 2019).

Strategies For Collaborating and Communicating with a Patient

With the help of effective communication between diabetes patients and their medical professionals, we can increase patient satisfaction, health outcomes, and diabetes-related self-management, according to patients’ healthcare professionals and safety experts. Communication and teamwork skills are crucial for healthcare teams and nurses to deliver high-quality healthcare to diabetes patients. Healthcare professionals can enhance patient outcomes, avoid medical errors, boost patient efficiency, and increase patient satisfaction when clinical and nonclinical employees work together professionally (Ayatollahi et al., 2018).

Cancer begins when cells in a part of the body show abnormal growth. There are various kinds of cancer, and they all begin when cells start to grow out of control. In the United States alone, there are 1.6 million new instances of cancer each year and nearly 600,000 cancer deaths. Large-scale research efforts have been made to study the underlying causes of cancer as a result of the public health burden associated with these figures. The growing understanding of these mechanisms, which we review here, highlights the necessity of stepping up efforts to prevent primary cancer through the reduction of modifiable risk factors. Such initiatives would complement the current focus on developing therapeutic strategies to treat advanced tumors and are probably going to have a much greater impact on lowering morbidity and death (Golems et al., 2018). Nurses and other healthcare professionals play a crucial role in promoting the efficient procedures required to treat and manage cancer and related problems because this disease is highly common throughout the world.

NR 283 Assignment 2 Concept Process Pathophysiology

In this assignment, I will explore the connection between hypertension and chronic renal failure, exploring their definitions, effects, and manifestations. Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is characterized by the persistent elevation of blood pressure, often resulting from the constriction of blood vessels. This can significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart, and kidney disease. The kidneys, vital organs for filtering blood, play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance and eliminating waste products from the body. However, many underestimate the implications of high blood pressure on kidney health, often unaware that kidney damage can be irreversible.

Hypertension

Hypertension and chronic renal failure present distinct signs and symptoms. Hypertension typically does not manifest many noticeable symptoms, leading to its reputation as a “silent killer.” However, some individuals with hypertension may experience headaches as a common symptom. On the other hand, chronic renal failure, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD), displays a range of symptoms that reflect impaired kidney function. These symptoms may include nausea, swelling (edema) resulting from the retention of extra fluid and salt in the body, drowsiness, and decreased urination.

NR 283 Final Pathological Processes

Introduction

Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic condition commonly observed in individuals of Sub-Saharan African descent. It is characterized by inheriting mutated hemoglobin genes from both parents, leading to abnormal red blood cell shape. This article explores the causes, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, complications, and diagnostic methods associated with Sickle Cell Anemia.

Causes:

Approximately 60% of Sickle Cell Anemia cases occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, with over 200,000 reported annually. The condition is prevalent among individuals born with major hemoglobin disorders, accounting for approximately 300,000 affected infants (Munube et al., 2016).

NR 283 Final Pathological Processes

Pathophysiology:

In Sickle Cell Anemia, flexible and round red blood cells usually transform into rigid, sticky cells with a sickle or crescent moon shape. These irregularly shaped cells can block or impede blood and oxygen flow in blood vessels, leading to tissue ischemia, acute pain episodes, and organ damage.

Clinical Presentation:

The severity of clinical manifestations in Sickle Cell Anemia varies and includes the following:

Pain Crisis: Patients frequently experience intense episodes called vaso-occlusive or pain crises. These crises can affect body parts such as bones, abdomen, chest, and joints.

Anemia: Abnormal red blood cell shape reduces lifespan, resulting in chronic anemia. This can lead to fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.

Organ Damage: Prolonged vaso-occlusion can cause damage to multiple organs, including the spleen, kidneys, liver, lungs, and brain. This can manifest as organ dysfunction and increased susceptibility to infections.

NR 283 Final Pathological Processes

Complications:

Sickle Cell Anemia can give rise to several complications, including:

Stroke: Abnormal blood flow and increased clotting risk can lead to cerebral infarctions and stroke.

Acute Chest Syndrome: Vaso-occlusion in the pulmonary vasculature can cause acute chest syndrome, characterized by chest pain, fever, and respiratory distress.

Infections: The compromised immune function due to splenic dysfunction increases the risk of severe infections, particularly by encapsulated bacteria.

Diagnosis:

The diagnosis of Sickle Cell Anemia involves various laboratory and clinical assessments, including:

Hemoglobin Electrophoresis: This test identifies the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, such as Hemoglobin S, characteristic of Sickle Cell Anemia.

Complete Blood Count (CBC): The CBC assesses red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet levels, providing insights into anemia and potential complications.

Peripheral Blood Smear: Microscopic examination of a peripheral blood smear reveals the presence of sickle-shaped red blood cells.

NR 283 Final Pathological Processes

Conclusion:

Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic disorder characterized by abnormal red blood cell shape, leading to vaso-occlusion, chronic anemia, and organ damage. Understanding the causes, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, complications, and diagnostic methods associated with Sickle Cell Anemia is crucial for effective management and treatment. Continued research and advancements in therapeutic interventions are needed to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by Sickle Cell Anemia.

NR 293 AZITHROMYCIN RELATED TO CHLAMYDIA

Azithromycin: The Powerful Solution for Chlamydia

Discover the remarkable potential of Azithromycin in combating Chlamydia. As a bacteriostatic macrolide antibiotic, Azithromycin stands out as a highly effective treatment option. By binding to the 50S subunit ribosome, this antibiotic inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, effectively halting the growth of Chlamydia trachomatis (Lilley et al., 2020).

Azithromycin’s superiority in treating Chlamydia stems from its unique ability to penetrate tissues and target the ideal concentrations in affected areas. Unlike other antibiotics that primarily address infections in the bloodstream or interstitial spaces, Azithromycin targets the gram-negative bacterium responsible for Chlamydia, which is transmitted through direct sexual contact and unsafe practices (“STD Information CDC,” 2017). By honing in on the source of infection, Azithromycin provides targeted and efficient treatment, leaving no room for the bacteria to thrive.

NHS FPX 8010 Assessment 4 Quality Improvement Proposal - Online Class Services Department Strategic Priorities

Department Strategic Priorities

A successful nurse leader can establish a successful strategic plan to be used now and in the future. It is a quick fresh start for the nursing executives to redo the organization or recharge. To achieve the best patient care outcomes and goals, nurse executives need to prepare an excellent strategic plan with the team (Lal, 2020). For the company to offer cost effective care and high-quality patient care, the executive team can organize a team to be involved in the strategic planning and creation of the balanced score card (see Figure A1). Inbox management continues to be an issue with providers and patients regarding communication. We have started to see how common email communication and text are becoming as a communication source. ECW is the platform used at Life Care Centers is used to communicate with patients but the system has a delay in the transmission time that they are currently working on. Patients use the portal to communicate with their providers. The system has caused some issues with delay in care because of inboxes not checked by providers or their assistants and causing issues and it the last quarter, there was an 15% increase in those incidents. Unfortunately, this could impact the reputation of the organization. 

The issue with the inbox is a current issue because the more messages are not attended to, the longer it will take providers to catch up and cause patient issues and reputation. The better way to address the issue is that the staff is overworked with tasks, not enough time and at the end the patients are the ones who feel it the most. Life Care Center has a key performance indicator which is patient satisfaction scores which is on their scorecard. The nursing executive team needs to start implementing measures for change and make sure it is patient centered as it relates to Life Care Center. The reason behind this quality improvement project is decreasing the providers messages in their inbox so that we can increase patient experience and have a positive impact in the survey scores. We will need to come up with a plan to educate the team and hold daily meetings so that we continue to increase the patient satisfaction rates greater than 90%. There is a proposal attached at the end of this paper in Figure A2.

Key Stakeholder and Policy Recommendations

The best way to target this issue and fix it is by making an analysis to see the issues. This will require the providers to agree to the plan. There are many stakeholders in an organization, but the patients are the most important and the are the reason everyone there has a job (Eicher, Boechl-Daum, Broich et al.,2018). For this to be successful, we need the help from our leaders. A.B who oversees the informatics and data will assist with the collection of data and analysis for this project. He will be able to see where we can add alerts in regard to priority to assist with the inbox issues. The next person will be F.R who oversees the Quality and Improvement plans and will be able to collect the data, organize it while keeping the patients experience as a priority. The Medical director for the facility will be involved in making sure the providers are complying and address any concerns they have. The executive sponsors for this project are the CFO and CEO at Life Care Center.

I have worked in this hospital facility as an emergency nurse for almost 6 months. EHR has been rising in healthcare in recent years as healthcare providers aim to improve patient care, reduce errors, and enhance efficiency (Atasoy et al., 2019). EHRs are digital versions of patient health information that include patient demographics, medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results. EHRs can be either cloud-based or locally hosted. EHR can aid healthcare providers in making well-informed patient care decisions and improving care coordination across various healthcare settings (Atasoy et al., 2019).

Challenges Public Health NGOs Have in Comparison with Government-Sponsored Programs

Public health NGOs face various challenges compared to government-sponsored programs. One of the significant challenges for public health NGOs is limited resources. These organizations rely on donations and grants, which may be insufficient to cover the costs of programs and services. Another challenge is the lack of political power and influence. NGOs do not have the same authority and access to resources as government agencies. They may struggle to gain support and recognition from policymakers and other stakeholders, which can limit their impact on public health initiatives (Amiri & Pagheh, 2019).

Also, the state board’s nursing procedure makes sure that no one abuses the law while giving care. which helps to promote good communication between the patient’s family and the nurses. Hospital healthcare expenditures are also managed by following the nursing standards established by the national state board (Oyando et al., 2019)..

Nurses should also explore and understand the style in which patients can communicate with nurses. It is also important to update their families of different ethnicities and backgrounds. To achieve the cultural sensitivity, both verbal and nonverbal communication is vital. Moreover, using patient-centered approaches can better engage nurses with patients and their family members. Some techniques include patients and their families to engage in small talks that help them to select the right interventions and use consent

The second factor which ANA directs the nurses’ focus on is beneficence. This factor highlights the fact that nurses need to reflect a behavior of utmost kindness and patience towards their patient. Patients in rehab centers can often become aggressive but the ethical policies of ANA restrict the nurses that they need to treat the patient with patience and kindness. Another alarming factor that the ANA pours light on is justice. It basically states that nurses should not develop feelings of bias or prejudice against a patient.

In the field of medicine, ethical policies and ethical principles need to be given a fair share of consideration. A slight misbalance due to ethical conundrums can result in the downfall of the patient, which all medical personnel seek to avoid. In order to provide a clear understanding of these ethical policies, the American Nursing Association (ANA) chalked out certain ethical principles for nurses which imply an obligation on the nurses to adhere to these ethical policies. The ANA chalked out 4 basic ethical principles that formulate the domain for the code of ethics for nurses (Gaines, 2021)

NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 1 Attempt 3 Health Promotion Plan Why Addressing This Concern Vital to Create a Plan?

To raise the profile of tobacco consumption avoidance and reduction, it is first necessary to understand why adults want to smoke. The impulse to smoke is caused by physiological dependence on the additional drug nicotine. Tobacco smoking appears quickly, even after just a few clouds of smoke. Nicotine enters the brain in a few milliseconds, and the compounds it produces increase the frequency while enhancing focus and alertness. The feelings and actions that nicotine generates make it challenging for people to stop smoking (Bhatnagar et al., 2019). Since 2014, e-cigarettes have emerged as the most widely used tobacco substitute among adolescents (CDC, 2020). Due to the flavorings in e-cigarettes, adolescents are particularly drawn to the products. As a result, the adolescent establishes a chemical dependence on nicotine, increasing the risk that they will continue using tobacco products as adults. Teenage and youth tobacco consumption can result in serious organ dysfunction, long-term obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular damage, issues with growth and development, and sometimes even mouth and pulmonary cancers (Shinbashi & Rubin, 2020).

NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 3 Disaster Recovery Plan

Part 1

Villa Health Disaster Recovery Plan presented by Name Peeches Headlam.

Part 2

When a disaster strikes, the government, lead by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), responds, by the US Department of Interior. A disaster is defined as an occurrence that is out of the usual and restricts access to critical procedures. The actions that take place before, during, and after a disaster are referred to as recovery. Recovery generally begins as soon as the emergency response operations are completed. The disaster recovery process focuses on repairing and rejuvenating communities such as the Villa Health neighbourhood that have been touched by the tragedy. The ideal catastrophe recovery strategy will provide solutions rather than new issues. Fire, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, lightning, and plane accidents are just a few examples of disasters (U.S. Department of the Interior, 2020). The Villa Health Community was devastated by a weather-related tragedy, and they needed help to recover. It’s apparent that their disaster recovery strategy has to be modified after meeting with hospital and community leaders.

Part 3. Barriers to Safety

Health factors are known to have an influence on people’s health and how they respond to catastrophes before and after they occur. Cultural boundaries are the first. The way one responds to an approaching tragedy can be influenced by one’s beliefs, religious views, ethnic heritage, and community. Then there’s the issue of social boundaries. Mental health, long-term health concerns, and alcohol consumption and usage are all affected by disasters. Disasters are a leading source of mental health issues, affecting huge groups of individuals. As a result of the detrimental influence on mental health, mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety are predicted to rise. The third type of obstacle is the financial one. The financial impact on the organisation and families is significant. The assault on September 11, 2001, claimed the lives of 3000 people and resulted in the loss of 430 000 jobs and a $30 billion economic loss. The Madrid train terror bombings in 2004 killed 192 people, wounded 1500 more, and caused billions of dollars in economic damage. Natural disasters have a major negative impact on a country’s actual gross domestic product (GDP). Then there are the physical obstacles. People with disabilities have a physical disadvantage over people who do not have impairments. When tragedy strikes, they are frequently forced to remain at home, increasing the risk of death or injury. Individuals with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by catastrophes, with a death rate two to four times that of non-disabled persons. Vulnerable people are more likely to get diseases and illnesses. When planning for catastrophes, health factors such as cultural and societal views, economic position, and physical condition must all be taken into account.

Public health and safety is a systematic process of foreseeing, identifying, evaluating, and developing controlling measures against any health risk. An organization that ensures public health and lowers its vulnerability comes under an umbrella. Through this, an organization contributes to improving the quality of life of that particular community. Besides this, it creates an impact on the general environment. Numerous organizations and agencies are working to create awareness about a healthier approach to life. These help the communities take preventive measures against any outbreak and avoid spreading infectious diseases. These organizations also confirm safe water and food supply and intake to prepare for any emergency. Undoubtedly, a long list of organizations and agencies working for public health and safety by improving quality of life. Indeed, the American Red Cross has been one of the most prominent organizations serving the communities since 1818. So, it is one of the oldest and most effective organizations that have helped the public improve their quality of life. According to statistics, tobacco is the prominent public health issue. Almost 6 million people die every year because of the usage of tobacco. Surely, the American Red Cross is struggling for health for all; it has refused any funding from tobacco companies (Pellegrino et al., 2020).

When an event happens in the hospital the nursing staff needs to make sure to study all the factors and then describe the root cause. Correct identification of the root cause will play a key role in making a safety improvement plan that improves the quality of care and patient safety in the healthcare organization.

The verification of a patient’s bedside medicine prescription can be expedited by utilizing a barcode system, hence enhancing the efficiency of drug administration to patients. The utilization of a bar code facilitates the precise alignment of the appropriate medication, optimal delivery method of administration, and the specific patient, ensuring their timely convergence. Conversely, there exist notable nursing practices that contribute to the reduction of drug errors. In the event that a drug possesses possible hazards, it is vital to do a process of dual verification for the dosage consistently. Prior to making any determinations on medication, dosage, or treatment plan, the nurse must consult with the medical expert or physician (Neal Joshua et al., 2022). Nurses should engage in a thorough evaluation and verification process of their calculations whenever feasible. Clinicians within the medical profession highly regard the Medication Error Reporting Program (MERP) as a secure environment for engaging in discussions pertaining to actual or suspected instances of medication errors. The utilization of the MERP system for reporting errors or potentially hazardous conditions is both straightforward and ensures confidentiality (Neal Joshua et al., 2022). 

Potential Solutions

BHA FPX4000 Assessment 4 Analyze a Current Health Care Problem or Issue: The implementation of possible options or approaches necessitates the participation of seasoned healthcare practitioners, typically including physicians and nursing staff who possess expertise in utilizing e-prescription systems. The primary responsibility of medical professionals is to uphold secure prescription procedures while concurrently engaging in the advancement of novel treatment methodologies. In addition to expediting and optimizing the process of acquiring prescription prescriptions, physicians frequently offer supplementary services. The utilization of electronic prescription assistance offered by pharmacies facilitates the process of acquiring specific medications and verifying the most current information on prescription coverage. The implementation of electronic prescriptions has led to a reduction in the workloads of healthcare providers (Khan et al., 2023). This is mostly due to the advantages it offers, such as the decreased need for validating handwritten prescriptions, improved accessibility to medical insurance information, and increased confidence in prescriptions submitted by patients.

Drug administration is an integral part of nursing. Medication errors can be pernicious to a patient’s health. Medicines are prescribed by the doctor and dispensed by the pharmacist but the responsibility of current administration rests with the nurse. Each nurse is responsible for their practice. The result of medication errors varies from mild to deadly. Medication errors have been an ongoing issue in all healthcare settings. Healthcare organizations should ensure and maintain effective measures to prevent medication errors. 

According to National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Prevention and Analysis (NCCMERP,2021), a medication error is defined as “any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of a healthcare provider, patient or consumer”. Some of the factors associated with this cause are transcript errors, look -alike, sound -alike medication packages, and nurse- patient ratio. This assessment will expand upon mediation errors issue, analysis of the problem/issue, potential solutions for the problem, ethical considerations, and implementation of the solution. 

                     Elements of the Problem/Issue 

Medication errors can be detrimental to a patient’s health and they pose a serious threat to a patient’s safety. These errors can add significant harm or even death to patients. The data shows that in the United States more than 250,000 deaths per year are appertaining to medication errors (Dirik et.al, 2019). A medication error can increase the length of stay at the hospital and the cost of the treatment.

The patients brought for treatment most often face a barrier in getting screened properly for their disease which will later result in either the recurring of the disease or worsening of their condition. If the staff is not well aware of the condition of the patient and is working with lesser knowledge the patient will remain at the risk of recovering. Another thing that is observed for the inefficient screening of the patient is the low staff which may already be burdened with attending the other patients and not providing prominent care to every individual brought in observation.is the infrastructure of the hospital doesn’t have enough space the management of the patient would become a serious issue while providing care to all the patients. 

Management of the resources 

As discussed earlier, the hospital’s performance greatly relies on the resources they have obtained either in terms of the staff that has been hired or the systems that have been acquired for providing the treatment. If the hospital runs low on budget, the organization would gradually lack in providing better opportunities to the staff and low maintenance of their working condition. The healthcare system with a low budget will not be ready to invest in such a situation upon the health systems acquired and will focus on acquiring cheaper sources that will later create issues for the staff that is working with them 

Management of the Risk

Another issue analyzed is the management of the risk which may be observed if the risk is not identified and communicated on te to the higher authorities. If the staff is unable to identify the nature of the risk and the degree to which it can impose danger to the organization, they will ultimately be not able to communicate these to the higher staff and the issue will prevail to occur with massive disturbance later on. 

Identification and categorization of such factors are always necessary for the rationale to develop for handling these issues. A gap that remains in the communication of these issues will result in negligence and ultimately rise the unexpected abhorrent results. The discrepancies observed in the interdisciplinary coordination, lack of communication and discussion aggravate these issues to occur. 

Potential Solutions for the Problem or Issue

Since the hospitals and the staff i.e., nurses are met daily with the complex situations mentioned above that require the correct or precise decisions to be taken, they require critical thinking and reasoning which will help them in attaining the targeted result that is required (Rahimzadeh et al., 2018). One major skill that may be applied while dealing with the issues tactfully is the SOCRATIC technique which centralizes the attention for building the ability for critical thinking among the nurses since they are the first and foremost bodies who are dealing with the issues (Machine, 2019).

In order to confirm my sources credibility, I chose only peer-reviewed journal articles that were published between 2017 and 2022. I also made a point to only select sources published by well – known authors who had substantial professional experience in their perspective healthcare fields. To ensure that my sources were applicable to my topic, I read through each article carefully to confirm that they contained accepted facts and collective conclusions on issues relating to medication errors. Finally, I made sure that each one of my sources had a clearly defined purpose and contained pertinent information in relation to medication errors.

Drug Safety, 42(8), 931–939. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40264-019-00823-4  In this article, the authors express concern over the diversity in the definitions of and methods used for classifying medication-related harm in hospitals. They discuss the comparisons of the severity of medication-related harm across studies and clinical settings and how they are limited by inconsistency in the tools used for the classification of medication-related harm. The authors concluded that a new tool called the “Harm Associated with the Medication Error Classification (HAMEC) tool, used to label and define levels of medication-related harm, should be used because it has clear definitions and does not include 

examples of error, harm or treatments, which are prone to misinterpretation. I selected this article because it highlights a major issue in relation to medication errors in that there is no widely accepted definition, leaving too much room for interpretation and fault in error

In this assessment, I will continue to explore the consequences of medication errors and delve into some possible solutions in order to prevent or at the very least minimize their occurrence. Medication errors are described by the National Coordinating Council for Medicine Error Reporting and Prevention as “any preventable incident that may cause or contribute to inappropriate medication usage or patient harm while the medication is within the control of the healthcare practitioner.” It is critical to explore different options and solutions in order to assist healthcare workers in preventing medication errors. Not only because medication errors can result in patient harm but also because the error typically falls on the nurse or health care professional who provided the medication.

Elements of the Problem/Issue

According to studies, a hospitalized patient is estimated to be subjected to at least one medication error per day. Up to 35% of these medication errors result in severe or life-threatening outcomes for the patient (Schmidt et al., 2017). Medication errors can occur, for example, if a healthcare professional is constantly being interrupted or has too many patients to care for safely. Two examples of common medication errors include; A healthcare professional giving a patient the wrong medication and a patient being given the wrong dose of something. Medication dosage and timing should be thoroughly evaluated by the health care interdisciplinary team as an incorrect dose can have significant consequences when given

Continuous FHT monitoring with wires decreases mobility and limits positions for labor (Watson et al., 2022). Approximately 60% of women are denied mobility during labor, which contradicts the support for mobility as a natural physiologic process for birth (Ondeck, 2019). Research Article #1 Ondeck, M.

How a capital acquisition will affect the financial health of an organization

 

According to Alleyne (2918), the quality of finance and capital matters significantly because the organization needs to enhance the governance and the delivery of healthcare services to align them better with the mission of their organization. Instead of having a wasteful fragmentation, there is a need for creating more healthy partnerships to harness the power of monetary policy. This will ensure that the organization will have better chances of improving its bank ratings… Since after the COVID-19, the particular era represents that enough money is not going to be enough and the cost of inaction or not strategizing is more than taking a solid action towards improving the financial health of the organization. The hospital found a wakeup call after the COVID-19 pandemic to change and improve its current financial strategies. The cumulative financial costs of the pandemic have impacted the firm negatively because it has lost outputs and also lost valuable employees’ lives. Therefore, without a radical redirection, achieving the goal of financial stability and investment cannot create a fiscal space for the hospital.

The personal statement should address the following issues (limit to 2-3 pages with no specific formatting): 1. What is your interest in public health, and how do you think you will use the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in your future career? 2. What are your career goals? That is, what kind of work inspires you including the types of activities you hope to undertake in your career? 3. Tell us about your experiences (paid or unpaid) that form your thinking about nutrition as a career.

My interest in nutrition began at a young age, when instead of eating Oreos for my afternoon snack, I preferred to eat vegetables. However, nutrition as it relates to health first became significant to me when I was diagnosed with food allergies and began researching about how to maintain proper nutrition while meeting my dietary restrictions, as well as how to prepare nourishing meals for myself. It was around this time that I attended BODIES, The Exhibition, which sparked my interest in human physiology and the adverse effects that disease and poor nutrition can have on the body. From the exhibition, I learned that roughly half of all American adults have one or more preventable chronic diseases, of which several are related to poor diet, and a growing number experience at least one food allergy. Through these experiences, my early interest in nutrition quickly evolved into a commitment to help others learn about the value of healthful choices in our overall wellbeing and to contribute to the improvement of available community food options. The Master of Public Health program at the University of North Carolina with a concentration in Nutrition will prepare me to achieve my professional aspirations to improve community education and practices surrounding food, diet, and health through developing and improving health policies. As a first year student at the University of Connecticut, I began working in my own community to support GROW Windham, a non-profit organization which focuses on promoting access to healthy food through community food projects, community gardens, and youth programs in public schools.

Resolving the Ethical Dilemma by Applying Ethical Principles

Overview of the Case Study

In the case study the main character is E. L. Straight who is director of clinical services at Hopewell Hospital. Dr. Cutrite is a quite well-known surgeon in the hospital, who is famous for his brilliant surgeries in the past. However, he has slipped physically and mentally over the years, and Straight is contemplating taking steps to recommend a reduction in his privileges. Whereas such procedure takes a practically long time and the process is not complete, the doctor continues to perform a full range of procedures. During the development of the story, the readers realize that Dr. Cutrite left a plastic needle protector from a disposable syringe in a patient’s stomach. The supervisor said that the syringe was among the items in a used surgical pack. E. L. Straight suggested putting the aforementioned patient, Mrs. Jameson, to go back into surgery. He did not plan on actually explaining to her that they were going to look for the needle cover. The unfortunate event was that she had already left the hospital. Moreover, the guilty doctor Cutrite would not consider Mrs. Jameson there might be a problem and called her back to the hospital, while the chief of surgery said there was no promise that there would not be any consequences of such negligence.

Analysis of Ethical Issues in the Case Study

To begin with, the main ethical dilemma of E. L. Straight was rather to listen to a rather politically powerful member of the hospital or to follow the principle of non-maleficence. In this scenario, Dr. Cutrite is the one who represents the well-being of the member of staff, the employer, obviously willing to preserve his reputation and the place of work. Indeed, going against the oldest member of the hospital might have put Straight in a highly inconvenient situation. On the contrary, if Straight does not stand out and somehow disobey the surgeon, he will not risk losing his position in any way. Nevertheless, as a medical professional, he has to pay attention to anything that could potentially hurt the patient.

Using the Ethical Decision-Making Model to Analyze the Case Study

Let’s start

To analyze the given situation from the viewpoint of morality, it is essential to refer to the present ethical decision-making model. Initially, it is crucial to recognize the existence of an ethical dilemma and a pathway to establish a need for an ethical decision. E. L. Straight, the person obliged to make a choice, realizes that his future name and reputation depend on his decision. On the contrary, he knows there is a small-scale chance of unhealthy consequences for Mrs. Jameson if the surgeons do not take the needle cover out of the patient’s body. After the moral dilemma goes the moral judgment, which can be influenced by multiple different individual and organizational variables, such as cognitive biases, group pressure, a code of conduct or standards of behavior, et cetera. In the particular case study, the political power of Dr. Cutrite, the reputation of the hospital, the principles of ethical medicine affect E. L. Straight’s judgment. It goes to show how dependent people working in medicine usually are. In addition, the last aspect of the decision-making model is ethical behavior that is based on ideas what is morally good or bad (Legge, 2020). The dilemma in question is supposed to be solved by the students.

Effectiveness of Communication Approaches in the Case Study

In the study, E. L. Straight did not manage to communicate well with the patient due to her leaving the hospital, not knowing about the incident. Such carelessness demonstrates how significant it is for surgeons to build trust with the hospitalized person whose well-being depends on them. The failure in good patient-and-doctor connection is caused by the decreasing quality of Dr. Cutrite’s mental and physical state. However, Straight still has a chance to follow a careful systematic approach to Mrs. Jameson to promote a healthy work environment (American College of Healthcare Executives, 2019). Therefore, the communication between the surgeon Cutrite and Mrs. Jameson was not effective because it is considered unprofessional to hide the real information about the results of performed surgeries from a patient.

Resolving the Ethical Dilemma by Applying Ethical Principles

Considering the aforementioned principles of ethics and the aspects of a decision-making model, it is still rather complicated to balance job requirements and subjective morality for the director E. L. Straight. However, American College of Healthcare Executives the importance of avoiding the improper exploitat

The Effects of Dietary Supplements on Overall Health and Wellness

1. Introduction

Inflammation is part of our body's natural defense against pathogens, but chronic inflammation can play a role in almost every major disease. There is growing evidence that chronic inflammation has an important impact on human health, through its impact on various diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular problems, neuropathic issues, and cancer. A concerted effort must be mounted to reduce the global incidence of chronic illness, especially those that can be readily addressed through the implementation of policy and environmental changes; interventions in those who are at risk; and strategies that help people with chronic conditions better manage them. It is not by coincidence that chronic diseases share common behavioral risk factors; these risk factors also happen to contribute to the development of chronic inflammation. That is to say the common denominator is healthy living. From hanging out with people who smoke to excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, the air we breathe, and our large fortunes, there are a number of factors that put everyday people not just at risk of developing chronic diseases and conditions, but also inflaming their bodies with every breath, every mouthful, every step, every thought, and every laugh.

The Importance of Maintaining a Healthy Body and Mind for Overall Well-being

1. Introduction

As the saying goes, health is wealth. Wealth can be earned through hard work and dedication, but good health is a gift from God. Maintaining a strong, healthy body not only increases this gift - one's longevity - but it also does much to improve their ability to enjoy their life to the fullest. To be truly qualified as being healthy, both the body and the mind must work together, as the health and strength of each is critical to the overall well-being of a person. A physical illness or injury can have a serious detrimental impact on one's mental health, just as numerous levels of stress can lead to chronic or acute health disorders. A sound mind in a sound body means everything. People are inclined to think that their bodies are more important than their minds, or promote beauty and neglect wisdom. That is unhealthy because when the origins of the pains arise from the mind, the soul cannot be at ease. Complete peace of mind is, therefore, essential. Mental peace is the result of balance between heart and head, the will and intellect. Money, if it can afford you a beautiful body, cannot afford you a fair and square mind. You are then not in a position to do what you want to do in order to enjoy body and mind. You are deprived of the joy, a very severe form of deprivation indeed. Then you are truly unhealthy

Week 9 Discussion: Prescribing for Older Adults and Pregnant Women

Prescribing for Older Adults and Pregnant Women From the DSM-V, one of the most common disabling mental disorders among the elderly is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It is characterized by persistent and recurrent fear or worry, leading to racing thoughts and feeling hopeless (Andreescu & Lee, 2020). However, through evidence-based practice, several treatment options have been outlined in clinical practice guidelines to help manage this disorder among this vulnerable population. The purpose of this discussion is to illustrate the FDA-approved and non-FDA approved “off-label” medication for GAD among older adults in addition to their associated risks and benefits to the patient. FDA-Approved Medication The FDA recommends the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as escitalopram, as the first line for the management of GAD among elderly patients. Due to the desirable safety profile and effectiveness in the management of anxiety symptoms among these vulnerable populations, several clinical guidelines such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines on GAD and PD also recommend the use of escitalopram

Recommend at least two strategies, supported in the literature that can be implemented to address any shortcomings revealed in your Work Environment Assessment One of the strategies is by ensuring proper communication.

Through effective communication, all the personnel will understand their roles in the workplace and as members of a particular team. Additionally, they will be involved in the decision-making process, which enables them to express their views and opinions freely without any obstacles. An example would be evident in the case where a leader in the healthcare organization emphasizes to its team members the need to improve relationships through proper conservations. When this happens, the teams will enhance an opportunity for improved performance and growth of the organization. Another strategy is appreciation of the aspect of diversity in the organization (Clark et al. 2011). Diversity may consider ethnicity, sexual differences, culture of the care facilities, and religion. By promoting diversity in the By promoting diversity in the workplace, team members coordinate their tasks effectively, identify any gaps that might exist and fix them amicably. The personnel can also spend time and shadow the professionals from other disciplines to enable them understand the experience of patient care from a different perspective. In this way, the practitioners may gain new skills and unique knowledge brought forth by the professionals from other disciplines. As such, it would be easy to see through the lens of others and build trust, which will enlighten and enhance individual understanding of their responsibilities.

Historically, expressing emotions in the workplace was seen as a distraction and a hindrance to efficiency (Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee, 2013). However, individuals who fully comprehend and utilize emotional intelligence understand their emotions, their reasoning, and meaning, as well as how they can impact others. In contrast, those who lack this understanding often experience high levels of stress, leading to negative behaviors towards colleagues, such as passive aggression, yelling, and blaming others (Zeider, Matthews, & Roberts, 2012).

NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 2: Informed and Guided Intervention Strategies to Improve the Quality of care, Enhance Patient Safety, and Reduce Cost

Policies not only define the boundaries of nursing practice but also serve as essential guides for informed and effective interventions. For instance, a clear understanding of ANA guidelines may inform nursing interventions related to patient advocacy and shared decision-making. Similarly, adherence to CDC protocols is instrumental in guiding nursing interventions aimed at infection prevention and control. In the context of Mr. Johnson’s healthcare, policies can inform and guide interventions that optimize patient outcomes. A comprehensive knowledge of policy frameworks ensures that nursing interventions align with evidence-based practices, legal requirements, and organizational standards (Mehta et al., 2021). By utilizing policies as guiding principles, nurses can implement interventions that are not only clinically effective but also ethically sound, contributing to the overall improvement of patient care and safety.

Principle of Non-maleficence Violation Essay

Pakistan is a developing country with 184 million populations; majority of people is living in rural areas, where literacy rate is very low. The burden of Chronic liver disease (CLD) is increasing day by day due to poor compliance to preventive measures. According to Qureshi, Bile, Jooma, Alam and Afridi (2010) the burden of hepatitis B and C is increasing in general population and it is currently 7.6%. High prevalence of hepatitis B and C will result in increased incidence of CLD. Quality of life among CLD patients is very poor and the only option for them is liver transplantation. Unlike liver transplantation renal transplantation started early in 1985, currently facility is available both in public and private hospital across the country. On other hand very few liver transplantation were performed in the country despite the fact that every year 10,000 people die due to CLD (Ali, Qureshi, Jilani, & Zehra 2013). The liver transplant project was initiated in 2011 at Pakistan Institute of Medical sciences under special instruction from prime minister of Pakistan.

NRS 430 Discuss How Professional Nursing Organizations Support The Field Of Nursing And How They Advocate For Nursing Practice

Professional associations are important in every organization and team of workers. In the healthcare institutions, professional organizations seek to further the interest of individuals that are engaged in both the professional and public interest. Also, professional associations are important in enhancing networking between the healthcare professionals through integrating the operational processes and promoting the roles that each individual are to play. A professional association or the professional body or professional society is important in maintaining the control or oversight of the legitimate nursing practices. Also, the body plays significant roles in safeguarding the public interest. The organizations should therefore maintain their own privileges and powerful positions in controlling the professional associations.

Operational efficiency is an objective that healthcare organizations strive to achieve in their service provision. Operational efficiency enhances the performance and competitiveness of health organizations due to resource optimization in service provision. Strategies such as the use of health information technologies, evidence-based practices, and effective human resource management contribute to operational efficiency in healthcare. Safety events such as medication errors in practice however affect the financial performance and efficiency in health organizations. It also affects the financial stability, marketability, and viability of the organization’s operations in its markets. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of medication errors in practice on the budget of an organization and the role of the nurse in the problem.

Study Guide for Medication Treatment Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychosis Disorders Fluphenazine Formula:C22H26F3N3 OS

Fluphenazine is a potent medication employed in the management of schizophrenia. Extensive research has demonstrated its comparable efficacy to low-potency antipsychotics like chlorpromazine (González et al., 2018). Various brand names, including modecate, moditen, and rhophenazine, are used to market this medication. Fluphenazine has obtained FDA approval for the treatment of schizophrenia and addressing related symptoms such as malevolence, delusions, and hallucinations. Limited evidence and both guided and non-guided support exist for the off- label utilization of fluphenazine in children and adult. Classification Fluphenazine is classified as a phenothiazine medication, specifically a neuroleptic. It shares the same drug class as chlorpromazine and thiordazine (Siragusa et al., 2020). Their mechanism of action involves modifying the chemical equilibrium of neurotransmitters within the brain

reviewing ethical issues and legal obligations seen in clinical settings, effects of legal and ethical principles in health care practice, evaluation of ethical guidelines used for decisions in health care and the roles of healthcare professionals during decision making in practice

Law is defined as rules that are sanctioned and implemented by the parliaments, which all the citizens are legally obligated to obey (Montgomery, 2013). The Queen in parliament created and revises the English law that governs the whole of Wales and England, after which it is deliberated on by the House of Commons before being passed for implementation (Surbhi, 2015). However, the common laws, which are laws that serve as a framework from court judgement, are used for similar future cases (Juridique, 2017). Law differentiates between the good and the bad in a society and serves as a norm which guides people’s behaviors (Montgomery, 2013). The nurse has a special role within her code of practice to respect the right of the patient under her care, work co-operatively with other health care professionals and notify with details, anything that can negatively impact on the standard of care that she delivers (Rai, 2011).

Drug administration is an integral part of nursing. Medication errors can be pernicious to a patient’s health. Medicines are prescribed by the doctor and dispensed by the pharmacist but the responsibility of current administration rests with the nurse. Each nurse is responsible for their practice. The result of medication errors varies from mild to deadly. Medication errors have been an ongoing issue in all healthcare settings. Healthcare organizations should ensure and maintain effective measures to prevent medication errors.

Midwives played a significant role in women’s healthcare and childbirth, providing a more compassionate and natural approach than male doctors. As Brodsky notes, the rise of obstetrics led to competition between physicians and midwives. While physicians focused on medical interventions and techniques, midwives, often experienced mothers themselves, offered support, comfort, and personalized care during childbirth. They used natural methods and provided nourishment, emotional support, and spiritual guidance to ensure a safe delivery for both the mother and baby (Brodsky, 2008)

Role of the Nurse in Improving Health Equity and Impacting Social Needs

Role of the Nurse in Improving Health Equity and Impacting Social Needs

Nurses can use their position and influence to improve health equity and effectively address people’s multidimensional needs. In agreement with Oruche and Zapolski (2020), nurses can reduce health disparities by being increasingly committed to diversity, inclusion and breaking down barriers to health. In this case, they should ensure health resources are fairly distributed according to people’s diverse needs and that all patients are assisted to achieve their full health potential. The other critical nurse’s role is advocacy, which entails protecting patients’ rights and acting as their voice (Nsiah et al., 2019)

NRS 429V Analyze the health status of a specific minority group

 

The American healthcare system is faced with the great challenge of inequality which displays a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, including people of color (Boyd et al., 2020). Such inequalities are the reason behind the gaps in the acquisition of health insurance coverage, leading to uneven access to care services and poor health outcomes among the minority populations. Additionally, studies show that African Americans are significantly impacted by these inequalities contributing to the high prevalence of chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, in addition to the increased mortality rates among this minority population. This discussion provides an analysis of the health status of African Americans, as part of the minority population, in comparison to the national average.

The Use of Nursing Theories Assignment

Scenario 2: A 42-year-old man comes to clinic with chief complaint of pain, redness, and swelling of his right calf. He states that he had been working in his yard using a string trimmer when the trimmer slipped and cut his leg. He cleaned the wound with water from the garden hose and covered the wound with a large Band-Aid. Several days later, he developed fever to 100.6˚ F and chills and noticed that his leg was swollen and red. He comes to the emergency department for definitive care.

The use of nursing theories is critical to patient care because of the different purposes that they serve. Nursing theories assist in informing every interaction between nurses and patients. Through defining the features of the nurse-patient interaction, these theories shape how nurses develop relationships with patients (Wei et al., 2019). The purpose of most nursing theories is to help nurses identify care needs among patients, articulate what they can do for patients and why they do it, and determine the kind of information to collect to develop care plans. Through theories, nurses can comprehend and evaluate health situations, explain and anticipate certain responses from patients and map out objectives and anticipated outcomes (Bahabadi et al., 2020). These theories also help nurses determine the interventions to deliver, best practices, and selection of productive areas for research. The implication is that nursing theories are fundamental to quality care provision as they help nurses to possess background propositions to offer the best care.

Scenario 3: A 34-year-old Hispanic-American male with end-stage renal disease received kidney transplant from a cadaver donor, as no one in his family was a good match. His post-operative course was uneventful, and he was discharged with the antirejection drugs Tacrolimus (Prograf), Cyclosporine (Neoral), and Imuran (Azathioprine). He did well for 3 months and had returned to his job as a policeman. Six months after his transplant, he began to gain weight, had decreased urine output, was very fatigued, and began to run temperatures up to 101˚F. He was evaluated by his nephrologist, who diagnosed acute kidney transplant rejection.

Scenario 4: A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HCP with crampy left lower quadrant pain, constipation, and fevers to 101˚ F. He has had multiple episodes like this one over the past 15 years and they always responded to bowel rest and oral antibiotics. He has refused to have the recommended colonoscopy even with his history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (diverticulitis), sedentary lifestyle, and diet lacking in fiber. His paternal grandfather died of colon cancer back in the 1950s as well. He finally underwent colonoscopy after his acute diverticulitis resolved. Colonoscopy revealed multiple polyps that were retrieved, and the pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma of the colon.

Many nursing models have come into practice since the early 1950’s (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). May of these theories focus on a patient as a individual and therefore focus their behavioral modifications and goals on an individual’s unique circumstances (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). While this path is incredibly important, it is also pivotal to understand that many of our patients belong to a family unit and this will directly impact their care (DeNisco & Barker, 2016).

To be honest, the human species does not have a stellar track record when it comes to ethical medical research. During World War II, Nazi Germany and the German medical establishment were implicated in harsh, cruel, and immoral human research. Following WWII, the Nuremberg trials were pushed to hold people accountable for some of the most horrible acts of “research” carried out in concentration camps (Vaughn, 2017). The Nuremberg Code, which contains 10 points outlining what is considered permissible medical experimentation, is the result of these trials (Vaughn, 2017).

NURS FPX4020 Assessment 1 Nurses Coordination Care to Increase Patient Safety

Health staff primarily focuses on delivering safe and quality treatment to patients, reducing their health expenses as well. Among health staff, the nurses are the most centered staff members whose participation can improve the hospital’s quality of treatment delivery. Russ-Jara et al. (2021) briefly discussed the nurse’s care coordination to complete the patient’s healthcare needs and requirements (Russ-Jara et al., 2021). Sharing knowledge among staff members regarding patient care and attaining a patient-centered care strategy help in providing innovative and robust ideas that contribute effectively to patient care. The collaboration ensures patient safety and transition of care and develops strong and influential personalities that lead to positive patient outcomes (Russ-Jara et al., 2021).

Wondmieneh et al. (2020) conducted a prevalence study in tertiary hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to investigate errors in medication dispensation and their contributing factors among nurses. The authors utilized a self-administered questionnaire and medication administration error report form to collect data from 298 nurses. The results revealed that medication administration errors were common among the nurses, with the most frequent errors being the incorrect time of dispensation, inappropriate dose, and inadvertence of medication. Contributing factors to these errors included heavy workload, inadequate training, and lack of knowledge about medication. The study concludes that improving the training and knowledge of nurses on medication administration, reducing workload, and promoting a culture of reporting medication errors could help minimize medication administration errors.

NU 605- Week 3 Assignment: Synthesis of Personal Strengths and Weaknesses as a Leader

This study examines the nature of inoculation theory, a process through which attitude change can be resisted in the face of counterattitudinal communication intended to convert or shift existing attitudes, and how it applies to pack journalism, an unethical media practice where herds of journalists repeatedly and widely cover one particular story and storm the targets (i.e., people, buildings, etc.) with their overwhelming presence. Based on inoculation theory’s theoretical assumptions, and by deriving concepts and designs from previous inoculation studies, the authors urge scholars to implement a viable theoretical and practical platform by which inoculation treatments can be executed on journalists to render maximum attitudinal resistance toward the copycat (and unethical) element of pack journalism coverage.

Cultural Humility And Health Promotion

Currently, Hispanic/Latino people experience poor health outcomes as compared to other people. This is attributed to many factors, including limited access to healthcare services. Notably, most Hispanic people do not have insurance coverage, and this usually makes healthcare very expensive for them. Additionally, some of them experience language barriers as they do not understand English, the primary language spoken in the country.

It is also notable that they have higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and other conditions (Dragomanovich & Shubrook, 2021). Another issue is the low health literacy levels. Most of them are concerned with working and do not focus on health knowledge or how to interact with the healthcare system. Overall, this reduces their health outcomes, making it crucial to enhance their health integration..

Why it is important for a nurse leader to understand variance reporting. How does this reporting become a valuable tool? Staffing is usually the most expensive resource in the provision of care, what reports would provide valuable info for this expense? Finance department regard nursing units as not being revenue generator. Why would you believe they’re inaccurate in their assessment?

In healthcare, budget reporting helps hospitals to identify their expenses including the deviation between these expenses and what they projected to spend, allowing them to make better decisions in terms of how they allocate resources, and budget for various programs. For instance, a hospital can use the generated budget reports to make decisions in terms of what to spend on staff, and the amount of duns to use to acquire essential resources and medical supplies. The budgeting process involves creating a plan with details of what one intends to spend, and what they think they would earn based on the services they provide.

When there is a deviation between the forecasted and the planned financial outcomes, this phenomenon is known as budget variance, with variance reporting denoting the resulting report with details of how the variance occurred (Nuti et al., 2021). It is important to explore why a nurse leader should understand it, and the information that is pertinent to understanding staffing.

Why it is important for a nurse leader to understand variance reporting. How does this reporting become a valuable tool?

For a nurse leader, understanding the variance reporting is crucial in the sense that it informs the decisions they make regarding the management of costs and the allocation of resources. A variance report reveals any discrepancy between the expenses, both actual and budgeted, and by reviewing this report, the nurse leader gains insight into the areas where they can add resources to optimize operational outcomes (Anderson et al., 2020). With this information, still, the leader can understand the different metrics, and make meaningful decisions such as identifying measures that if they initiate in nursing settings, can improve patients’ wellbeing (El-Sayed Aly et al., 2022).

Variance reporting becomes a vital tool for nurse leaders by helping them identify opportunities for the improvement of certain processes that can help optimize clinical outcomes. A nurse informed by this tool, for instance, can make changes to the cash flows to match the resource requirements in specific units or areas. For instance, a nurse leader can rely on reports to identify areas facing a shortage of resources and respond to this by adjusting the budget to address the shortfalls (Kawaguchi et al., 2019). The report also forms an integral tool for informing decision-making during the subsequent budget preparation activities. Relying on what worked in the previous budget, a nurse leader can replicate the same in future budgets

Achieving Higher Levels of Education

The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report elaborates on the need for nurses to advance in their education, with one of the reasons being to create a larger impact on nursing practice and the healthcare system. There are several reasons why nurses should find encouragement to continue their education. Some of the reasons make one question whether advancing nursing education should be a mandatory requirement and not a personal choice. Therefore, to shade more light on this topic, this paper aims to provide an understanding of the implications of achieving higher levels of nursing education.

Include the following: Examine the health-illness continuum and discuss why this perspective is important to consider in relation to health and the human experience when caring for patients. Explain how understanding the health-illness continuum enables you, as a health care provider, to better promote the value and dignity of individuals or groups and to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing.

The health-illness continuum is a simple concept, as each person has gone through almost all of the spectrum at least once in a lifetime. According to this theory, extreme levels of wellness or death (due to diseases) are on opposite sides of the continuum. Next to them, closer to the center, are the levels of good health and illnesses, and in the very center, there is a neutral zone (Burke, 2019). John Travis and Regina Ryan proposed the illness-wellness (health-illness) continuum in 1975. The core of this model is individuals’ ability to move towards better health and well-being whenever they don’t have visible illnesses. It is essential, however, to work on one’s mental health and awareness, educate oneself, and stimulate self-growth.

Legal and Ethical Implication in Prescription

Legal and ethical implications manifest in the scenario in which an Advanced Practicing Nurse (APN) has to decide between observing codes of ethics on prescription, and prescribing medicion to their friend who has no known health history. Nursing professionals are expected to practice within the boundaries of the codes of the American Nurses Association (ANA). One of these codes’ provisions require APNs to promote and protect patients’ health as well as safety. Reflecting on this provision, prescribing the medication to the patient without getting details of their health condition constitutes a breach of this provision.

Introduction

The philosophy of the rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) is that some form of thoughts intrinsically result to problems and always occur when an individual is troubled regardless the type of difficult an individual is going through (Turner et al, 2014). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on how an individual thinks, feels, and behaves (Bell et al, 2015). Even though both REBT and CBT specifically focus on an individual’s tendency to develop own “emotional” difficulties, these therapies have their own differences as well Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) Versus Rational Emotive Behavioral Theory (REBT) Sample Essay.

Assessment:

Mental Status Examination: The patient looks at his stated age. He is well-groomed and kempt. He is oriented to place, time, and people. His speech is normal and his mood is consistent with affect. However, he does not maintain eye contact. He answers questions properly. He reports delusions and hallucinations. No suicidal or homicidal thoughts. Memory and concentration are intact. Judgment and insight are also intact.

Diagnostic Impression: 

  1. Schizophrenia DSM-5 295.90 (F20. 9)
  2. Schizoaffective Disorder DSM-5 295.70 (F25.0)
  3. Delusion Disorder DSM-5 297.1 (F22)

The primary diagnosis is schizophrenia. According to McCutcheon et al. (2020), schizophrenia is a mental health condition that causes delusions and hallucinations. The symptoms of schizophrenia include negative symptoms, delusions, hallucinations, catatonic behavior, and disorganized speech (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 2013).

DSM-5 highlights that at least two symptoms should be noted for one to be diagnosed with schizophrenia (APA, 2013). One of the symptoms should either be hallucinations or delusions. The patient has both hallucinations and delusions making the disorder a primary diagnosis. The second diagnosis is schizoaffective disorder.

A patient with schizoaffective disorder causes schizophrenia symptoms and depressed mood (Peterson et al., 2019). According to DSM-5, patients should be diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder if they have depressed mood and schizophrenia symptoms (APA, 2013). The disorder was included in the diagnosis because the patient has delusions and hallucinations.

However, the patient does not have a depressed mood, and thus the disorder has been ruled out. The last disorder is delusion disorder. Delusion disorder is associated with delusional ideas (Joseph & Siddiqui, 2021). The disorder has been ruled out because the delusions the patient experience are a result of schizophrenia.

Reflections:

I agree with the preceptor’s diagnosis. The patient has schizophrenia. If I was given a chance, I would have screened the patient for depression. The ethical consideration, in this case, is the safety of the medication. The patient has the right to safe medication. The patient also has a right to be treated justly without any discrimination. I would avoid being judgmental when treating the patient. I would educate the patient to avoid alcohol and cigarette since they can negatively affect his health.

Case Formulation and Treatment Plan:

The presented symptoms show that the patient has schizophrenia. However, he should be referred to a psychiatrist for extensive mental health assessment and treatment. The patient can be recommended quetiapine fumarate extended-release (XR) 300 mg/day PO (Li et al., 2018). The dosage should be maintained between 400-800 mg/day.

Quetiapine has been selected because it is effective in treating schizophrenia, is well-tolerated and has good completion rates (Li et al., 2018). Li et al. (2018) noted that quetiapine is safe and has high efficacy in treating schizophrenia. Quetiapine XR tablets have been recommended because they allow a physician to start treatment at a high dose quickly to reach a therapeutic level.

Literature Review

Handover communication or shift reporting is an essential process that determines the quality of care patients receive. It is a process that is highly dependent on the quality of information nurses exchange with each other, which in turn determines the quality of decisions made to ensure that there is continuity of care from one shift to another. There are different shift reporting approaches that healthcare facilities use. However, each approach has its own merits and demerits. Currently, the target healthcare facility is using a traditional shift reporting approach where the transaction of information is done away from the bedside.

Patient safety and improved quality of care requires providers and organization to use evidence-based practice (EBP) interventions to tackle issues that may cause adverse events like patient falls. Patients in medical-surgical units are susceptible to falls because of their delicate nature. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) considers falls as never events since they are preventable (Melnyk et al., 2022). Falls lead to increased stay in hospitals, poor patient outcome and serious fractures and head injuries that can lead to death. The use of bundled care approach through TIPS (tailoring interventions for patient safety) is considered one of the most effective ways to reduce and prevent falls in medical-surgical settings. The purpose of this literature review paper of the EBP project is to compare articles on the use of TIPS toolkit to reduce and prevent falls in medical-surgical settings.

Maternal morbidity and mortality is often caused by factors such as cardiovascular disease and hypertension requiring care longer than two months postpartum. One-third of pregnancy related deaths occur between one week and one year after delivery, and almost 12% occur after the regular six-week postpartum visit. This had led to an increased recognition that postpartum women need comprehensive care beyond two months—therefore also need the insurance coverage to ensure continuity of services.

Expert Answer and Explanation

Literature Review

One of the major challenges that come with surgery, especially surgeries with long recovery periods like Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is immobilization. Long periods of immobilization have been associated with several adverse effects that affect the patient’s general well-being in the short and long run. Some issues related to immobilization include intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), which in turn results in longer hospitalization period and cost of care, increased risk of getting pressure ulcers, and long-term mobilization issues, for example, reduced functional range of motion, and depressed recovery of functional walking capacity, to list a few (Borges et al., 2022).

Early mobilization is one of the interventions suggested by scholars that can help improve patient outcomes for patients who have undergone surgery or are admitted to the ICU. This paper will therefore evaluate the literature on the option of using early mobilization using the following PICOT question; In adult patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, what is the impact of early mobilization compared to delayed mobilization in preventing postoperative complications during the first week of postoperative hospital stay?

Nursing Informatics

Nurses have used nursing informatics to improve their practice in various ways. Cummings, Shin, Mather and Hovenga (2016) argue that nursing informatics has made it easy for nurses to collect data from patients who are in remote areas away from health institutions. This type of data collection has been made possible through telemedicine. Data storage has also been improved through one of the informatics techniques known as electronic health records (Holmes, 2018). Overall, nursing informatics has proven significant in nursing practice. That said, this assignment discusses different professional development exercises in nursing related to informatics.

Recovery Following a Disaster

Data from healthcare informatics systems can be saved for retrieval following a disaster through cloud-based data storage, virtualization, and snapshot technology. First, cloud-based data storage offers automatic backups, data redundancy, and the ability to restore information quickly in case a disaster occurs (Kubo et al., 2019). The use of these methods in healthcare informatics data offers accessibility, scalability, and built-in disaster recovery abilities. In addition, the method involves continuous synchronizing of data to the cloud, which ensures real-time updates. Secondly, virtualization and snapshot technology can also be used (Kubo et al., 2019). Virtualization technologies allow the creation of virtual instances of applications, servers, and data. On the other hand, snapshot technology keeps the state of a system at a specific point in time,

Accreditation – Improving Quality Related to Informatics

The joint commission accreditation process outlies a framework pathway for high-quality quality, safe, and excellent healthcare. In the technological errors where health informatics are entrenched within healthcare operationalization, these processes provide the groundwork for evaluating organizational compliance with the performance standards. The first expectation of the joint commission related to healthcare informatics is the maintenance and communication of accurate patient medication information. In this respect, information systems utilizable in contemporary healthcare should uphold medication safety by ensuring that medication information is provided, providers obtain patient information at the point of contact, and providers compare medication information provided to the patient previously. The second expectation is patient confidentiality.

Evidence Collection

Evidence collection is gathering evidence by one or more people, usually to support a legal claim. Evidence collection may involve interviewing witnesses and others who know facts relevant to a case, photographing and videotaping physical evidence, examining documents and records, or questioning suspects (Bell, 2019). The types of evidence collection involved are physical evidence, such as fingerprints and blood stains, testimonial evidence, and oral testimony from witnesses. Evidence collection involves conducting contextual analysis to collect as much factual information as possible, including searching, collecting, and organizing all data within this scope.

Health Information management Strategies

Technology is shaping healthcare by making it possible for individuals to access health information anytime and anywhere. People can access this information on websites and from the existing literature retrieved from the various database platforms such as ProQuest. While it is important for one to use this kind of information, some of the information that is available online can be misleading. When one makes decision on the basis of unverified information, they may expose their health at risk of harm (Verma et al., 2020).

How Incorporation Might Impact Local Practice and Role as a Nurse Leader

 

How Incorporation Might Impact Local Practice and Role as a Nurse Leader

Incorporating the global lens into practice allows nurse leaders to consider improvements or interventions from a larger perspective in the context of a wider global community rather than just the local level. Therefore, incorporating the global perspective might affect how nurses implement interventions. For example, vaccination drives, depending on emerging global trends towards a given infection such as COVID-19. Incorporating global perspectives also provides an opportunity for nurse leaders to consider collaborative interventions with peers from other countries with an effort towards making a larger impact, in research, policy formulation, and implementation of targeted interventions.

How Incorporation Impacts Social Change

The incorporation of global perspectives considers aspects like health equity, emerging technology, and dealing with emerging health issues such as control of epidemics. By looking at things from a global perspective, we consider the healthcare system from a larger perspective, meaning that the interventions created will be structured towards more significant social changes (Kilpatrick et al., 2023). A global perspective also highlights issues that the local system may not capture well, for example, existing systemic disparities, which collaborative policies may help to address.

Conclusion

Advancing health for all is among the challenges listed by the World Health Organization, which almost all healthcare systems are trying to address. This paper highlights how this issue is tackled using policies by the US government and the Australian government, making comparisons on the differences between the two policy perspectives. The paper also elaborates on how looking at health issues from a global perspective affects the role of a nurse leader and impact on social change.

How I fulfilled the role of Scientist, detective, Manager of the healing environment during the BSN program:

How I fulfilled the role of Scientist, detective, Manager of the healing environment during the BSN program: As a detective, a nurse is expected to utilize his/her clinical imagination alongside nursing science to identify deviations and changes from what is expected so that adverse outcomes can be controlled or prevented. As scientists, nurses are expected to take part in scientific inquiry with the sole purpose of critiquing, implementing, and disseminating evidence as well as informing healthcare decisions to influence practice (Lynch & Duval, 2011). Lastly, as managers of the healing environment, it is the role of the nurses to advocate, coordinate, and create interdisciplinary and respectful environments that acknowledges the dignity of patients and their families experience in addition to promoting their optimal well-being. During my program at the WGU, I mastered the roles of a nurse as a scientist, Detective and Manager of Healing environment as detailed. My role as a Scientist

The Challenges that I Encountered During the Progression of my Program and How I Overcame

Them It is undeniable that I have faced multiple challenges during my BSN program. My major challenge is juggling between family, personal and school life. My work-related challenge is starting a new job as a NICU Nurse that requires 5 days a week in training. As a newly appointed NICU Nurse, I am also required to obtain some certificates in the first few months of my job

placement. My personal related challenge is being a full-time mom for three beautiful daughters. Two of my kids are very busy with sports that require being out of the house 3 or more days a week. My school challenge is finding time to finish assignments in a timely manner. However, I believe my biggest challenge is striking a balance between school work, my work schedule and family time. Nonetheless, as a nurse professional, I understand that every challenge has got a solution. Therefore, to overcome the earlier mentioned challenges, I rely on friends and family so much. For instance, my kids at times are forced to carpool with their friends to practice. My husband too had to change his work schedule to accommodate the kids’ needs when I am busy with school work. My mom came from California to watch my kids so I can have time to work on school projects

Please answer the question below. Your main post (“create a new thread”) will need to be at least 200 words long. Exploring Varied Perspectives- Ethical Considerations in Societal Structure and Governance Practices Exploring Varied Perspectives- Ethical Considerations in Societal Structure and Governance Practices The readings in Part VIII present a lot of viewpoints on “ethical issues related to the structure of society and the practices of government.” Which ideas from these twelve short selections do you think provide the most interesting approaches to the structure of society or the practice of government? Explain why you think this.

Exploring Varied Perspectives- Ethical Considerations in Societal Structure and Governance Practices

Part VIII offers insight into how government practices and the structure of society create ethical issues and the ethical issues that arise from the structure and government policies. I think Iris Young offers the most interesting approaches to the structure of society and the practice of government because it explains the realities that create ethical issues in society based on what the society and government expect from the people. For example, Iris Young argues that there are five faces of oppression in society: exploitation, powerlessness, marginalization, violence, and cultural imperialism (Cahn, 2019).

What is the relationship between discrimination in the workplace and the developmental themes of middle adulthood? What impact might unemployment, underemployment, or a hostile work environment have on a person’s ability to make progress on the developmental tasks of this period of life? How might discrimination in the workplace influence the resolution of the crisis of generativity versus stagnation? Additionally, tied in the article Structural racism as a fundamental driver of Health Disparities, how does discrimination in the workplace tie into health disparities?

Discrimination in the Workplace

Discrimination at work can significantly impact an individual’s developmental themes in adulthood, as it intersects with various aspects of personal growth and well-being. The developmental themes of adulthood, often explored within developmental psychology, include factors such as identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity, as outlined in Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development and further elaborated upon by other theorists. Unemployment, underemployment, and a hostile work environment can significantly negatively impact a person’s ability to progress on the developmental tasks of middle adulthood. These tasks are related to career, family, and personal growth (Newman & Newman, 2017). Accordingly, regarding career and work-related tasks, unemployment or underemployment can disrupt an individual’s career trajectory. It may lead to feelings of stagnation and fulfillment, which can hinder pursuing career-related goals and achievements. Secondly, these challenges often result in financial instability, making it challenging to meet financial obligations and save for the future. This can create stress and anxiety that interferes with other developmental tasks. Lastly, a hostile work environment can negatively impact job satisfaction, making it difficult for individuals to find fulfillment and meaning in their work. This, in turn, can affect overall life satisfaction.

Explain at least two federal laws (health care policies) that have implications for health care informatics. Specifically, what are their implications for healthcare informatics? What role do nurses play in health care policy that pertains to informatics? Read other students’ posts and respond to at least two of them.

Discussion – Informatics Meets Health Care Policy

In the realm of healthcare informatics, two federal laws stand out with significant implications. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the HITECH Act (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) have profound impacts on how health information is managed and transmitted. HIPAA, enacted in 1996, focuses on safeguarding the privacy and security of patients’ health information (Edemekong et al., 2022). Its implications for healthcare informatics are extensive, as it mandates the development of standards for electronic healthcare transactions. Healthcare informatics systems must adhere to these standards to ensure the secure exchange of health information.

Evidence-Based Practice Proposal

Problem

The issue of concern selected for the research is the pressure ulcer among patients in long-term care facilities. Within these facilities, patients sit or lie on bed for long hours or for days, resulting to the exertion of pressure on their skin tissues. This sustained pressure causes injuries or sores particularly in the sacrum, ischium and other body parts with bones. The condition primarily results because of the blockage of the blood flow to tissues due to the effect of the pressure on the skin.

This denies tissues the nutrients they need to be in good health. The rubbing of the skin against the beddings is the other cause of the bedsore (Gillespie et al., 2020). However, certain conditions tend to expose patients to the risk of developing this particular clinical issue. If a patient has a disorder that affects the flow of blood to tissues, for instance, their risk of developing pressure ulcers is significantly high. Dehydration, decline in the ability of the skin to sense pain, and immobility are the other risk factors for the clinical issue (Wilson et al., 2023).

As a clinical problem, pressure ulcer is associated with a wide range of complications that may cause the patient’s health to worsen. One of these complications is cancer considering that when pressure ulcers recur, it is likely to cause chronic inflammation, which is tied to the epidermoid carcinoma. Given the difficulty involved in managing the wound, abscess may develop in the affected areas because of the frequent infections. In certain cases, a patient may feel pain due to pus.

Osteomyelitis is also a complication, and it occurs when the infection in the ulcer wound affects the bone tissues. The wound may also provide the inlet for the bacterial infection, triggering an abnormal autoimmune response (Afzali Borojeny et al., 2020). Considering these complications, pressure ulcer is a problem my discipline because it causes prolonged hospitalization, and results to more workload for providers.

Purpose

The suggested intervention is the use of standard care protocol with patient education, and it targets patients in long-term care facilities. These patients are primarily seniors, receiving a wide range of services in long-term care facilities including nursing and adult homes. For this group, prolonged stay in bed and on wheelchairs causes them to develop pressure sores.

The delicate and thin skin that characterizes this group is the reason why the population is at risk of developing the clinical issue. The incontinence of the urine and faecal matter in this population is prevalent. The dumpiness of the skin linked to this incontinence is a risk factor for the development of the pressure sore. In addition, the elderly experience nutritional issues that make them susceptible to various forms of skin injuries.

The deterioration of individuals’ physical health as they age may adversely affect their eating habits, resulting to the nutritional issues (Norman, Haß, & Pirlich, 2021). Furthermore, seniors have weak bones, which expose them to the risk of fall. Frequent falls causes injuries that exacerbate the pressure sores. Therefore, old age poses a serious bed sore risk factor for the elderly.

Background

In today’s world, there is nothing worrying than the deaths that are recorded on a daily basis emanating from the so-called lifestyle diseases. Thousands of new patients are diagnosed each day with a large number being unaware of being victims of these silent killer conditions. Among the top-rated lifestyle diseases/conditions are diabetes, hypertension, as well as obesity (Moghani Lankarani & Assari, 2017). One in every four Americans suffers from either hypertension or is diabetic. These statistics are alarming and have placed the two conditions among the 10 leading causes of death in the US. Diabetes is ranked number 1 cause of opportunistic diseases such as kidney failure, stroke and heart attack globally (The Observatory. Diabetes in America, 2017).

DISCUSSION QUESTION: Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how including patient preferences and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.

Patient Preferences and Decision-Making

Patients have values and beliefs which shape their views about health, illness and clinical care, and when seeing patients, clinicians have to keep this in mind. This is necessary and important when it comes to the delivery of the holistic care that meets the patient’s physiological and cultural needs. Providers meet diverse patients, and this may lead to a situation in which the beliefs they hold clash with the values of their patients.

Finding Knowledge

The three methods that nurses can use to find knowledge include authority, scientific approach, and empiricism. The scientific method is the main approach nurses use to find knowledge. According to Sturm and Sunyaev (2019), the scientific method involves gathering and evaluating evidence-based data and using the results to make clinical decisions.

The key data collection approaches in the scientific method include quantitative and qualitative frameworks. Empiricism involves using experience and observation to find knowledge. In this method, nurses use what they have experienced and observed since they started working as nurse practitioners to answer various clinical questions (Krumrei-Mancuso et al., 2020). The Authority method is where nurses utilize authoritative figures in the nursing field as a source of information.

Literature Review

One of the major challenges that come with surgery, especially surgeries with long recovery periods like Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is immobilization. Long periods of immobilization have been associated with several adverse effects that affect the patient’s general well-being in the short and long run. Some issues related to immobilization include intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), which in turn results in longer hospitalization period and cost of care, increased risk of getting pressure ulcers, and long-term mobilization issues, for example, reduced functional range of motion, and depressed recovery of functional walking capacity, to list a few (Borges et al., 2022).

Compare and contrast each of the three questions related to Managed Care Organizations, Medicare, and Medicaid with one another and explain how they were similar and different to each other. Managed care organizations emphasize physicians’ responsibilities to control patient access to expensive hospitalization and specialty care, a principle dubbed “gatekeeping.” Some argue that “gatekeeping” is unethical because it introduces financial factors into treatment decisions. Others say it improves quality by promoting the use of the most appropriate levels of care. Medicare is an area that often gets overlooked and is seen as a burden financially. Discuss alternatives to ease the drain on Medicare resources. Medicaid is shouldering an ever-increasing burden of cost for long-term care for the elderly, with enormous impacts on state budgets throughout the nation. Discuss alternatives to ease this drain on Medicaid resources.

Gate-Keeping, Medicaid, and Medicare Management

The increasing healthcare costs have always become one of the major barriers of accessing the right levels of healthcare in the US. Healthcare insurance comes in handy in reducing this burden, and ensuring that individuals receive subsidized healthcare services through the financial aid such as Medicare and Medicaid (Sohn & Timmermans, 2017).

The increased demand for healthcare services, especially among the aging populations, however, has led to a significant drain in Medicare and Medicaid resources, creating questions as to whether these insurance services would be able to serve in the coming years. Healthcare givers have also bought the idea of ‘gate-keeping,’ where they refer primary care patients to specialists who help them access better services based on their specific needs (Barnett et al., 2018).

The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies

Among the ways that informatics has helped to transform care is improved documentation systems, where care providers can easily access important patient and staff information that leads to coordinated care. The introduction of nurse informatics also helps to improve the processes in care and hence to generate improved care outcomes (Robert, 2019). Also, with informatics, healthcare givers can identify at-risk patients in a timely fashion and give them more priority to care.

Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.

Personal Leadership Philosophies

Leadership is an essential element in human life both for personal growth and also in an organizational setting. Leaders help with motivation, offer proper paths for others to follow, and ensure coordination within the team (Bhattacharyya, 2020). As a leader, one is guided by personal leadership guidelines that shape how one implements their leadership skills and traits. These philosophies shape one’s character and can determine the greatness of a leader.

Characteristics of a Good Leader

Leaders are responsible for shaping any organization or the nation as a whole as they are involved with establishing essential decisions that ensure the progression of the human race. However, a leader can either be good or bad based on their individual and personally identifiable characteristics (Fransen et al., 2017).

A set of characteristics can be used to determine a good leader and ensure that bad leadership is averted. To begin with, integrity is one of the main characteristics of a good leader. Integrity or otherwise moral soundness is essential as it ensures equality and eliminates bias within the organization, making the right decision even under immense pressure (Haski-Leventhal, 2020).

A leader also needs to possess the character of an effective communicator, be self-aware, and influence. Other than knowing how to come up with the right decisions and correct motivation for the employees, a leader needs to be able to communicate these findings and influence the staff or followers to align themselves with the implementation.

The Basseri of Iran: The Impact of Pastoralism on Kinship, Social Organisation and Political Organisation

 

The Basseri of Southern Iran are traditionally a nomadic, tent-dwelling people, descended from Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and gypsy ancestors. Amanolahi (2003) informs us that now, however, the Basseri have been detribalised and integrated into the Iranian state. Traditionally, their primary mode of subsistence had been pastoral; herding sheep and goats. They numbered about 16,000 in the 1950s, when research for the classic ethnography, Nomads of South Persia by Frederik Barth was conducted (Amanolahi, 2003). Anthropologists have long observed connections between the primary mode of subsistence and aspects of culture such as kinship, social organisation, and political organisation. The case is no different with the Basseri. This paper will explore some of those connections as outlined in published ethnographic work.

Effectiveness of Relationship-Based Social Work in Caring for Dysfunctional Families: Summary Article

 

Introduction

Rachel Robbins and Kate Cook (2017) authored the article “Don’t Even Get Us Started on Social Workers’: Domestic Violence, Social Work and Trust – An Anecdote from Research”. The article explores the concept of trust relating to the work done by social workers in child protection against domestic abuse. The authors conducted the study using interviews from women who suffered domestic abuse and requiring child protection services for their children and used the interviews to examine the barriers to trust-building. Robbins and Cook (2017) used the ‘Freedom Programme’ to highlight issues in trust-building in the context of living with abuse, systems set up to provide social work services, wider inequality, and developing an ecological approach towards improving the trust-building process. The authors set apart the argument that social work should be seen as a trauma through which mothers should be helped to overcome.

VARK Analysis

Since birth, human beings are continually learning, and their learning styles differ depending on the person. It is thus essential for each to identify the learning style that best suits them (Bhagat et al., 2015).  A specific analysis tool is the Visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic (VARK) allows one to recognize their style that better prepares them throughout their educational process. Neil Fleming designed the tool in 1987 as a sixteen question assessment scores. After tallying the results, the tool shows where the individual falls within the five strategies. Understanding an individual’s learning styles improves the capacity of teaching others in different settings. The purpose of the paper is to discuss the nurse’s scores of the VARK questionnaire, compare their identified learning style with the rest and identify the required changes to improve one’s learning behavior NRS-429VN – VARK Analysis Paper.

VARK Questionnaire Analysis

The VARK questionnaire is a learning style assessment tool that was developed by Neil Fleming in 1987 (VARK Learn Limited, 2023a). The acronym VARK stands for Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic, which represent the four main learning modalities or styles. The primary design of the questionnaire is to help individuals understand their preferred learning style(s) and use this knowledge to enhance their learning experience. The VARK questionnaire consists of 16 multiple-choice questions that assess an individual’s preferred mode(s) of learning.

Disaster Recovery Plan

Hello, and welcome to this disaster recovery presentation. I hope you will learn about my disaster recovery plan. This presentation will develop a disaster recovery plan for the provided Vila Health community to reduce health disparities and elevate access to care.

A disaster is any regular activity that prevents individuals from accessing key processes. Recovery is a set of activities that happen before, during, and after the disaster. Disaster commonly co-occurs with emergency response activities. The disaster recovery plan aims to restore and revitalize communities impacted by a disaster (Finucane et al., 2020). Natural disasters include hurricanes, storms, lightning, air crashes, floods, fires, and earthquakes. One community affected by a disaster is the Villa Health community, which was affected by a derailed oil tanker trained. The community did not have the necessary measures to respond to such a disaster. After conversing with community and hospital officials, their disaster recovery plan should be updated.

Map-IT framework from the Healthy People 2020 is a framework that can be used in the planning and evaluation of public health programs, including disaster recovery. The first step in this framework is mobilizing collaborative partners (Buns et al., 2017). This step helps to determine the end objective of the recovery plan. In the case of Valley City, a  derailed oil tanker caused an explosion and fire. The first step should be collaborating with local EMS responders to formulate a plan to reach and offer emergency services to individuals affected by the fire and those needing medical attention. This collaborative process should discuss triage protocols and the hospitals to receive critical patients. Furthermore, a search and rescue team should be in place to look for individuals who cannot be traced. Other partners will be state and federal government agencies, such as FEMA, who can offer additional help.

Evidence Collection

Evidence collection is gathering evidence by one or more people, usually to support a legal claim. Evidence collection may involve interviewing witnesses and others who know facts relevant to a case, photographing and videotaping physical evidence, examining documents and records, or questioning suspects (Bell, 2019). The types of evidence collection involved are physical evidence, such as fingerprints and blood stains, testimonial evidence, and oral testimony from witnesses. Evidence collection involves conducting contextual analysis to collect as much factual information as possible, including searching, collecting, and organizing all data within this scope.

Controversies Associated With Dissociative Disorders

The diagnosis of the psychiatric disorders including their treatment is marred by controversies, and this is particularly noticeable with the dissociative disorder (DDs). A person with these disorders exhibits various symptoms such as having distorted perceptions about others, and experiencing amnesia. People with history of trauma that particularly occurs early in one’s life, can expose them to the risk of developing these disorders (Subramanyam et al., 2020).

Dissociative disorders involve problems with behavior, sense of self, memory, identity, perception, and emotion. Dissociative disorders include conditions such as dissociative amnesia and dissociative identity disorder.

Controversy.

Most of the controversy Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is whether it is a real disorder. This is despite the availability of research to validate this disorder. Dissociative identity disorder is listed as an official mental disorder in the DSM-5.

Another controversy arises from the confusion in diagnosing dissociative and personality disorders, especially borderline personality disorders. Both of these disorders have some similarities in symptoms.

Controversies Associated With Dissociative Disorders

The diagnosis of the psychiatric disorders including their treatment is marred by controversies, and this is particularly noticeable with the dissociative disorder (DDs). A person with these disorders exhibits various symptoms such as having distorted perceptions about others, and experiencing amnesia. People with history of trauma that particularly occurs early in one’s life, can expose them to the risk of developing these disorders (Subramanyam et al., 2020).

To effectively care for patients with DDs, a psychiatric should be aware of these controversies, adopt sound professional beliefs about the DDs, and embrace strategies that can help maintain therapeutic relationship with the client with a dissociative disorder as described in this paper.

The Controversy that surrounds Dissociative Disorder

Certain controversies are associated with the DDs. One of these controversies involves the tendency for people to see the manifestations as fake, and this is the reason why people would question whether these disorders represent the trend that individuals may want to associate with. The DDs are also mired in controversies because of their complex nature. In fact, one needs to conduct deep research to understand these disorders.

Unfortunately, peoples’ tendencies to dismiss the research on these disorders is the reason why there is limited understanding of the DDs among those affected by the disorders. Still, there are those who question the notion that trauma that occurs early in one’s life can cause the DDs because of the difficulty involved in proving the truthfulness of the memory of abuse.

My Professional Beliefs about Dissociative Disorders

My professional beliefs hinge on my knowledge about mental health, and these beliefs shape my interaction with a patient with a dissociative disorder (DD). I believe that DD is a mental condition like any other, and that the use of appropriate intervention, can help lessen the symptoms of this condition. I also believe that the evidence and psychiatric knowledge should inform the treatment of the DD.

My belief about the DD is informed by the fact that its manifestations affect one’s functioning (Meganck, 2017). It therefore, has the potential to exacerbate mental health issues ranging from depression to memory loss. Therefore, I don’t believe in the controversies linked to DD because they can affect my judgment, and cause poor diagnosis outcomes.

An abstract is not required.

PICOT Question Example

The human body comprises complex systems that perform various functions that promote life. The immune system is among the essential systems that prevent the body from infections. Immunity is not limited to the lymphoid system, intact skin, initial inflammatory response, and oral mucosa (Bankanie et al., 2021). Unlike healthy individuals who have improved immunity, patients in the intensive unit (ICU) are at increased risk of several infections due to reduced immunity and invasive life-saving procedures such as endotracheal intubation, central lines, and mechanical ventilation (Chen et al., 2022). As a result, they are susceptible to most infections, including bacteremia, periodontal disease, central line infections, infective endocarditis, and ventilator-acquired pneumonia (VAP). Reducing such infections requires nurse-led interventions to reduce incidences while improving patient outcomes. Among the common interventions aimed at improving oral hygiene, preventing aspiration of micro-biota, and reducing colonization by micro-organisms. To get more insight, I came up with a PICOT question that will aid in improving my knowledge of this subject.

Evidence Collection

Evidence collection is gathering evidence by one or more people, usually to support a legal claim. Evidence collection may involve interviewing witnesses and others who know facts relevant to a case, photographing and videotaping physical evidence, examining documents and records, or questioning suspects (Bell, 2019). The types of evidence collection involved are physical evidence, such as fingerprints and blood stains, testimonial evidence, and oral testimony from witnesses. Evidence collection involves conducting contextual analysis to collect as much factual information as possible, including searching, collecting, and organizing all data within this scope.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader. In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader. Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader. Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader. Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change. Be specific and provide examples Expert Answer and Explanation

A Plan for Social Change

As a nurse leader, it is important to understand that our practice is influenced not only at the national level but also at the global level. Similarly, the contributions we make at the local practice level to some degree affect the overall global health outcomes. One way to advocate for the incorporation of global perspectives in local practice and the role of a nurse leader is by encouraging nurses at the local practice level to apply evidence-based practice, where they scrutinize and apply the concepts from current literature, which considers best practice from different sources (Kilpatrick et al., 2023). Another way is by participating in evidence-based policy change programs, where one can give direct contributions towards policy formulation as a nurse leader, with consideration of global perspectives and best practices.

Identify at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in finding peer-reviewed re

Step 2: Summary of Analysis

My approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research begins with a systematic and thorough search process. I typically start by formulating a clear research question or topic and identifying relevant keywords and phrases associated with it. I then utilize academic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and university library databases to conduct searches.

One effective strategy I employ is using Boolean operators (e.g., AND, OR) to refine my search and target specific aspects of my research question (Al-Jundi & Sakka, 2017). Additionally, I pay close attention to filters and sorting options provided by these databases, such as publication date and peer-reviewed journal filters, to ensure that I retrieve high-quality research articles.

Another effective strategy I use is citation chaining, where I explore the reference lists of articles, I find relevant to my topic. This allows me to trace back to earlier research that has influenced the current body of knowledge and identify seminal studies in the field. Additionally, I frequently consult authoritative sources such as Cochrane Reviews and systematic reviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state of evidence on a particular topic.

In the future, I intend to use Google Scholar more extensively as a resource for finding peer-reviewed research. Google Scholar provides access to a vast network of researchers and their publications, making it a valuable platform for discovering relevant studies and connecting with experts in specific fields (Rahmatullah & Gunawan, 2020). This resource can facilitate not only the identification of peer-reviewed research but also potential collaborations and discussions with fellow researchers

Development Plan in Improving Selected Key Behaviors to Achieve Personal Vision

Developing an astute plan is integral in the process of leadership and facilitates success in the achievement of goals. I would like to strengthen my ability to communicate with others who are socio-culturally different from me, especially patients. According to the American College of Healthcare Executives (2020), racial diversity is notable in healthcare. As a nurse, communication with coworkers and other caregivers is paramount for delivering the best possible care (Meinert, 2019). Therefore, it is crucial to communicate effectively with a diverse range of patients using both verbal and non-verbal cues (American College of Healthcare Executives, 2020).

The ability to learn other common languages besides English will help improve my communication skills with diverse patient groups. For example, I will use the Duo phone App to initiate learning the basics of the Spanish language. The use of applications and professional language educators will further improve my understanding and use of the language. The same process can be applied to learning American Sign Language. Acquiring these skills will improve the ability to connect with others, including patients. It will also help improve interaction with the community. This is important in helping me understand the needs of the people and effect change in healthcare delivery.

Stress has been identified as a prelude to burnout. Therefore, I would also like to strengthen my ability to manage stress. (Amir et al., 2019). As I tackle critical issues as a caregiver and maintain my personal relationships, it is vital to develop efficient strategies to manage stress and anxiety levels better. Failure to do so is detrimental to my health and to the attainment of my mission. To help better manage stress, I will identify the activities and environments that reduce my stress. I will make specific plans to include these activities in my daily schedule and recreate the environments in places to spend most of my time. I will also pay attention to my health and identify and minimize stressors in my life. Prevention is the key to achieving better control of stress. Planning ahead of time and breaking down goals into smaller tasks will reduce stress and improve focus and promote time management (D’Silva, 2019).

Conclusion

Leadership is integral to our society. Every healthcare institution requires a good leader to execute its goals effectively. Identifying strengths and areas for improvement will ensure successful leadership. A good leader possesses and promotes integrity, communicates well, and holds them accountable for continuous growth and improvement.

Assignment (3–4 pages, not including title and reference pages): Assignment Option 1: Adult Assessment Tools or Diagnostic Tests: Pap Smear Include the following: A description of how the assessment tool or diagnostic test you were assigned is used in healthcare. What is its purpose? How is it conducted? What information does it gather? Based on your research, evaluate the test or the tool’s validity and reliability, and explain any issues with sensitivity, reliability, and predictive values. Include references in appropriate APA formatting.

Adult Screening using Pap Smear

Clinical assessment entails an analysis of the patient’s medical history and physical health. It serves the role of determining the health risks which may predispose patients to the clinical emergency when they are receiving treatment. It is also important in the sense that it helps assess a patient’s emotional as well as their psychological response to a physiological health event.

A clinician has various options when it comes to the assessment tool they can use to examine a patient, and when selecting such tools, it is imperative that they consider the patient’s age. This is important because some tests such as Pap Smear are only used in clinical cases which involve adults. However, factors such validity and reliability of the test can equally influence the selection of the tool for performing the test (Sachan et al., 2018).

It is important to examine Pap Smear in terms of the purpose it serves, the process of performing it, the type of information it gathers, and assess the tool’s reliability and validity.

U.S. Health Care Delivery System Reforms

The healthcare system is always undergoing changes from time to time. Different healthcare facilities have to abide to the set standards an ensure that they are in line with the set guidelines. The Congress and other third-party agencies are also invested in the delivery of appropriate and quality medical practice. As a result, constant reviews and amendments to care systems is a continuation process.  Since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, the majority of the US population has been able to access quality healthcare with ease.

Be that as it may, various committees were formed in the Trump era, leading to several modifications that received mixed reactions from different stakeholders. Some saw them as a threat to the healthcare and well-being of citizens and an attempt to undermine the Affordable Care Act. In the current legislature, different reforms are constantly being taken into account and restructuring put in place with changes in the overall care process.

Current Health Care Law

One of the most recent health care law formulations is the S.352 – Health Care Improvement Act of 2021 sponsored by Senator Warner, Mark R. [D-VA] (Introduced 02/22/2021) (Congress.gov, 2021). The bill is aimed at creating additional reforms to the existing Affordable Care Act of 2009 in various ways. For instance, the main aim of the bill is to ensure a reduction in the costs of working families (Congress.gov, 2021). The strategy is to further reduce the premiums that the families are paying as well as the out of pocket costs.

The strategy will see to it that the Health Human Services create a more affordable and low-cost option of the families. The strategy also seeks to eliminate the policy that prevents families making more than 400 percent of the federal poverty line to be provided with premium subsidy (Warner, 2021). The funds can be used to support the program to lower costs for the working families and reduce the overall cost. The bill also seeks to reduce the cost for working families by negotiating the cost of prescription drugs and lifting the ban against negotiation with pharmaceutical companies to lower the cost of medication.

The other aim of the proposed amendments includes an increase in health care enrollment or access to care (Warner, 2021). With a reduced number of the uninsured, the legislation will be creating a means to increase accessibility to quality medical care for low-income families and other that might be in need of the service. The legislation has a direct impact on nursing practice since it creates an avenue within which appropriate care can be administered for different settings (Warner, 2021).

The legislation will increase the number if patient accessing healthcare facility, and with it the need for nurses to care for an even larger number of patients. Nurses need to be prepared to deal with the diversity and also ensure access and quality of care to all patients.

Applying Nursing Theory to Current and Future Patient Care Introduction

Nursing theories have been used in nursing practice, including clinical practice, patient care, and nursing research. In most cases, nursing theory-guided practice helps move the nursing profession forward into the next century and improve the quality of care delivered to patients. Additionally, the different application of nursing theories has demonstrated improved patient outcomes through patient-centered care (Hoeck & Delmar, 2018). Moreover, nursing theory aims at describing, predicting, and explaining the nursing phenomenon by providing a foundation for practice for guidance for knowledge and practice development (Roy, 2018). This article illustrates the purpose of applying nursing theory in patient care, its meaning in current practice, applying the theories before planning and providing care, and demonstrating how my theory of nursing practice has been helpful for planning and

Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The DSM-5 is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the DSM-5, and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders. To Prepare Review this week’s Learning Resources on dissociative disorders.

Controversies Associated With Dissociative Disorders

The diagnosis of the psychiatric disorders including their treatment is marred by controversies, and this is particularly noticeable with the dissociative disorder (DDs). A person with these disorders exhibits various symptoms such as having distorted perceptions about others, and experiencing amnesia. People with history of trauma that particularly occurs early in one’s life, can expose them to the risk of developing these disorders (Subramanyam et al., 2020).

Expert Answer and Explanation

VARK Questionnaire Analysis

The VARK questionnaire is a learning style assessment tool that was developed by Neil Fleming in 1987 (VARK Learn Limited, 2023a). The acronym VARK stands for Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic, which represent the four main learning modalities or styles. The primary design of the questionnaire is to help individuals understand their preferred learning style(s) and use this knowledge to enhance their learning experience. The VARK questionnaire consists of 16 multiple-choice questions that assess an individual’s preferred mode(s) of learning.

Topic 1 DQ 1 The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) championed the goal that 90% of clinical decisions will be evidence-based by 2020. A recent systematic review of the published literature indicates that evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation remains deficient despite an ongoing effort to increase implementation. Discuss two barriers that might hold nursing practice from achieving this goal and suggest ways in which the identified barriers may be addressed.

Expert Answer and Explanation

Nursing interventions should adhere to evidence-based practice for various reasons, including ensuring that patients receive the best care possible that is safe and meets their preferences. Research has shown that implementing evidence-based practice in clinical settings has various advantages, such as enhanced patient satisfaction, improved job satisfaction for care providers, and better patient outcomes (Connor et al., 2021).

Evidence Collection

Evidence collection is gathering evidence by one or more people, usually to support a legal claim. Evidence collection may involve interviewing witnesses and others who know facts relevant to a case, photographing and videotaping physical evidence, examining documents and records, or questioning suspects (Bell, 2019). The types of evidence collection involved are physical evidence, such as fingerprints and blood stains, testimonial evidence, and oral testimony from witnesses. Evidence collection involves conducting contextual analysis to collect as much factual information as possible, including searching, collecting, and organizing all data within this scope.

Adult Screening using Pap Smear

Clinical assessment entails an analysis of the patient’s medical history and physical health. It serves the role of determining the health risks which may predispose patients to the clinical emergency when they are receiving treatment. It is also important in the sense that it helps assess a patient’s emotional as well as their psychological response to a physiological health event.

A clinician has various options when it comes to the assessment tool they can use to examine a patient, and when selecting such tools, it is imperative that they consider the patient’s age. This is important because some tests such as Pap Smear are only used in clinical cases which involve adults. However, factors such validity and reliability of the test can equally influence the selection of the tool for performing the test (Sachan et al., 2018).

It is important to examine Pap Smear in terms of the purpose it serves, the process of performing it, the type of information it gathers, and assess the tool’s reliability and validity.

How the Assessment Tool is used in Healthcare

The Purpose of the Tool

Pap smear’s role is to gather part of the cervix’s cells with focus on identifying whether the cervix has malignant cells. It is important that once one reaches age 21 years old, they should receive the test, and in this case, it can help determine the presence of the cancer of the risk. They can go for the next test after three years if the current test indicate they don’t have the cancer

Application of Statistics in Healthcare

The use of statistics in nursing dates back to 1850s when Florence Nightingale came up with a method of representing statistical data on graphs, and her works in statistics ushered in a period in which clinicians and researchers began using and applying statistics to conduct survey, and make clinical decisions. For example, researchers used statistics in 1971 to assess and examine Americans’ nutritional behaviors, and this study was instrumental in shaping future application of the statistics in healthcare sector (Aggarwal, 2018).

Application of Statistics in Healthcare

 

Introduction

In healthcare, statistics have a critical application because they help healthcare professionals to make evidence-based decisions, improve care delivery, enhance patient outcomes, and advance hospitals’ quality. Oster and Enders (2018) recommend that healthcare providers have statistical competence to boost their capacity to consume research findings and translate them into practice and further studies. An increasing body of knowledge compels healthcare providers to update their practices to be in line with novel results which are reliable and useful in delivering care. Moreover, the quality improvement of procedures, processes, and systems requires continual research activities through statistics. According to Guetterman (2019), statistics offer a systematic and rigorous process of generating valid and reliable healthcare findings. For healthcare providers, including nurses, managers, and physicians, to deliver optimal care, they apply statistical analyses to adopt evidence-based practices. In this view, this paper focuses on examining the application of statistics in healthcare aspects of quality, safety, promotion, and leadership, along with the routine application in nursing.

Discuss the options and resources available to you to help you move toward wellness on the health-illness s

Human Experience Across the Health-Illness Continuum

Health is dynamic because it involves the interplay of various factors and conditions that vary, influencing one’s physiological, emotional and psychological response. As A dynamic concept, health varies because of the change in the body’s biological functioning, exposure of one to environmental conditions, and adoption of certain lifestyle habits. Other factors such as one’s emotions and socioeconomic conditions account for the dynamic aspect of health. Because these factors cumulatively determine a person’s health status, it is sensible to view health from the perspective of the illness-wellness continuum (Oben, 2020). For providers, viewing health from this perspective when caring for patients can motivate them to better care for patients by comprehensively addressing the patients’ needs.

The Health-Illness Continuum

The health-illness continuum recognizes how a wide range of factors work together to determine an individual’s wellbeing or their whole health. According to this concept, health not only transitions from one phase of health to the next, but it takes various forms including physical, emotional and physiological health (van der Lande et al., 2022). The concept, still, recognizes how social factors including the social relationships can hamper or promote health of individuals. Given this perspective about health, the absence of an illness does not necessary represent good health.

The Importance of Health-Illness Continuum in Relation to Health and Human Experience when Caring for Patients

When caring for patients, providers should consider the health-illness continuum because of the benefits it presents in terms of optimizing the health outcomes, and improving patient experience of care. When providers incorporate this perspective into health care, they are likely to holistically understand health because it enables them to recognize how health shifts with changes in factors such as one’s behaviors. Additionally, embracing the concept when working with patients, can lead to increase in provider’s awareness of the essence of providing preventive care because the concept reinforces the need for providers to identify and address issues that may cause illness (Crisp, 2021).

If a provider is aware of the effect of negative emotions on health, for instance, they can opt for interventions such as counseling to reduce the effect of undesirable emotions on the patient’s health. Furthermore, knowing where the patient lies within the illness-continuum can enhance the nurse’s decisions when empowering the patients through education.

The Role of the Nurse Informaticist/ Nurse Leader in the Development and Implementation of a New System: The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

For a long time the healthcare sector remained sceptical in adopting technology to assist in the effective delivery of healthcare services. This was until it became apparent to everyone that the world was moving on to another era of technology-driven service delivery and that healthcare practices were becoming obsolete without the adoption of technology. According to Ozair et al. (2015), the introduction of the different types of electronic health records (EHRs) from different vendors was a milestone in the improvement of the quality of healthcare and the storage and access to patient data. As a matter of fact, the signing of the Health Information and Technology for Economic Clinical Health Act (HITECH) in the year 2009 proved to be a watershed moment for technology in healthcare. This piece of legislative policy allowed for the provision of financial incentives to providers who embraced the use of EHRs as a way of encouraging more adoption and implementation of technology in healthcare (Sweeney, 2017). But behind all this, there has always been the realization and appreciation that nurses must be put in the forefront of any development and implementation of any health information system (HIS) adoption initiative. This is because they form the single largest cohort of users of any HIS adopted by a healthcare institution (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).

The Role of the Nurse Informaticist/ Nurse Leader in the Development and Implementation of a New System: The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Role of Nurse Informaticist in SDLC

Improvement of the quality of healthcare services requires the development of new systems. The development of a reliable system requires that a System Development Life Cycle is followed to ensure the reliability of the established system. The involvement of stakeholders is also crucial for the success in the delivery of quality information systems within the scheduled budget and the scope constraints of any system development. (JEVTIC, 2019) In the process of development of a nursing documentation system, a nurse leader must be involved to ensure that the end-users find the system compatible with their capabilities. The nurse informaticist works hand-in-hand with the system developers over the relevant aspects of the documentation system such as data recovery, systems ethics, relevance to patient care, computer-human interactions, decision support systems, security, system’s intelligence, etc. (Joanne M Curry, 2007).

Emerging Technology Brief

Overview of the Emerging Technology and its Role in Health Care

The global Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry is thriving, with players across different sectors leveraging the AI to improve operational efficiency, and enhance decision-making. In healthcare sector, the AI use is widespread, with pharmacists utilizing it to inform decisions when prescribing medications because this technology integrates capabilities such as the ability identify adverse drug events based on specific patient characteristics.

Specifically, the AI adopts a capability that makes it mimic human brain by developing the capability to predict the working of the medication relative to the human chemical components. The AI integrates the data-analysis ability, which also explains the reason why it is popular among players within the healthcare industry (Bohr & Memarzadeh, 2020). If a physician wants to accurately make diagnosis, they can utilize an AI tool to analyze a sample collected from a patient, and make diagnosis. Considering these elements pertaining to AI use, the AI use can potentially help improve patients’ access to health services.

Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks. Note: For this Discussion, you are required

Diversity and Health Assessments

Factors Associated with Assigned Patient 

The first factor associated with the assigned patient is the economic factor. The patient is dependent on his daughter, who does not have the financial muscle to properly care for him. This factor may hinder the patient’s ability to access quality care. The second factor is the social factor (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon & Stewart, 2019). The patient has only one family member, his daughter, who can care for him.

However, the daughter is often busy and does not have time to care for her father. The patient is also a single mother struggling with her issues. Another factor is age. The patient is old and cannot perform several ADLs and is also unable to exercise. He need help to perform some physical activities.

Issues to Consider

First, healthcare professionals should be sensitive to is communication. For the patient to trust the caregiver, they must be able to communicate effectively. Dains, Baumann, and Scheibel (2019) note that the language barrier can hinder communication between a nurse and the patient. Second, when interacting with the assigned patient, a care provider should be sensitive to his traditions (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).

The caregiver should be able to understand whether the patient trust western medicine or Asian traditional medications. Lastly, the nurse should be sensitive about the patient’s health literacy level (Melton, Graff, Holmes, Brown & Bailey, 2014). The healthcare professional should determine whether the patient understands his current treatment protocols and their benefits to his general health.

Targeted Questions

  1. Have you ever taken any Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) or non-prescription medications?
  2. What is your alcohol, smoking, and illicit drug use history?
  3. When your daughter is busy at work, which helps you with your prescribed medications?
  4. Can you visit the nearby grocery store or a pharmacy by yourself when nobody is at home?
  5. Does your daughter often help you take a walk around the neighborhood, or do you do it alone?

The ability of people to acquire knowledge differs across different personalities and environments. The learning styles and techniques of someone may be a combination of different styles that could be applied over a wide range of circumstances (Truong, 2016). Regardless of one’s physical presentation, it is necessary to learn that they can develop specific styles of learning in response to present needs. In most schools, the curriculum employed allows learners to use their styles of choice including book-based learning, tutorials, class discussions, as well as exams. Recognizing one’s own learning styles improves the speed and the quality of learning they experience in different environments.

Applying Research Skills Annotated Bibliography – Medication Errors

Summary of the Problem

Medication errors are a persistent but preventable issue in healthcare. They majorly occur due to mistakes at any point in the medication process. In nursing, they majorly occur due to insufficient knowledge, workload, interruptions, burnout, and unclear guidelines (Wondmieneh et al., 2020). Medication errors are a problem with significant professional relevance as they have negative impacts on care quality and safety, the provider’s reputation, and negative economic outcomes. I have experienced how medication errors affect patient well-being and put a lot of stress and pressure on the care provider. For instance, I have witnessed minor situations and near misses. However, one case involving a newly employed physician ended up sending the patient to the emergency room as the patient had underlying hemophilia and the medication was blood thinner. This and the other cases made me explore various evidence-based interventions to prevent medication errors and improve the quality and safety I deliver.

Discussion – Care Transitions

Transitioning care from one level to another, such as from the hospital to primary care follow-up or from long-term care to home care, is a critical juncture in a patient’s healthcare journey. This transition is riddled with various barriers and challenges, some of which I have encountered while working in an emergency room.

One significant barrier is ineffective communication and information exchange among healthcare providers. Inadequate sharing of patient information, including medical history, treatment plans, and medication lists, can lead to errors and misunderstandings. For example, when a patient is discharged from the hospital for primary care follow-up, there is a risk of duplicate testing, medication differences, and missing follow-up appointments if the primary care physician needs to be better informed about the hospitalization specifics. (Sharma et al., 2023). This can negatively impact patient safety and continuity of care.

Another common challenge is coordinating services and resources, especially when transitioning from a long-term care facility to home care. Patients often require support services like home health nursing, physical therapy, and medical equipment. Coordinating these services effectively can be complex and time-consuming (Sharma et al., 2023). Without a seamless process, patients may experience delays in receiving essential care and equipment, potentially resulting in worsened health or preventable readmissions.

In my experience, a procedure that has shown promise in improving care transitions is the implementation of care transition teams or care coordinators. These professionals are responsible for carefully managing all aspects of the transition. They communicate with both the sending and receiving healthcare providers, ensure the patient’s health information is shared accurately, and facilitate the scheduling of follow-up appointments and necessary services. By serving as a bridge between different levels of care, care transition teams help streamline the process and reduce the likelihood of errors. The impact of such a procedure on patient safety is significant. By improving communication and coordination, care transition teams can reduce the risk of medical errors, medication discrepancies, and missed appointments. This, in turn, can lead to better patient outcomes, decreased readmission rates, and enhanced patient satisfaction (Finkelstein et al., 2020). Patient safety is not only about preventing medical errors but also about ensuring that the patient’s overall well-being and quality of care are maintained during transitions.

If differences of opinion occur, debate the issues professionally and provide examples to support your opinions.

Discussion – Ethical Issues Arising from New Technologies

An example of new technology in nursing that I have encountered working in the emergency room is artificial intelligence (AI). AI involves the use of computers to perform work that formerly needed human cognition (Vearrier et al., 2022). Furthermore, artificial intelligence underscores the computers’ assistive role in promoting physician skills rather than replacing them. Artificial intelligence algorithms can evaluate patient information, signs, symptoms, and medical history to help prioritize patients according to the severity of their condition (Vearrier et al., 2022).

Even though this technology has the potential for emergency care optimization, it also poses ethical challenges that need closer consideration. First, AI involves processing large amounts of patient data; therefore, patient privacy is paramount. Maintaining patient privacy and confidentiality while adhering to legal standards is important (Farhud & Zokaei, 2021). Secondly, patients may not fully understand the intricacies of AI algorithms used in triage. Emergency room nurses should ensure they educate their patients on the purpose of using artificial intelligence in their care and seek their informed consent whenever feasible (Farhud & Zokaei, 2021).

Thirdly, AI raises the ethical concern of data security. Nurses in the emergency room should be conversant in the data protection and encryption used by AI systems. Also, nurses must advocate for transparent communication with patients on how their data is being used and stored, which instills confidence in the security protocols (Farhud & Zokaei, 2021). Fourthly, even though AI can improve triage accuracy, it can be subject to data inadequacy. Nurses in the emergency rooms should be aware of the disadvantages of AI algorithms and apply their clinical judgment (Farhud & Zokaei, 2021). Lastly, in case of a hostile outcome, healthcare professionals’ accountability when involving AI in decision-making may be in question. Farhud and Zokaei (2021) note that the establishment of guidelines on the use of AI in triaging and continuous education and training is significant in mitigating the risks related to possible liabilities and errors.

The readings in Part VIII present a lot of viewpoints on “ethical issues related to the structure of society and the practices of government.” Which ideas from these twelve short selections do you think provide the most interesting approaches to the structure of society or the practice of government? Explain why you think this.

Exploring Varied Perspectives- Ethical Considerations in Societal Structure and Governance Practices

Part VIII offers insight into how government practices and the structure of society create ethical issues and the ethical issues that arise from the structure and government policies. I think Iris Young offers the most interesting approaches to the structure of society and the practice of government because it explains the realities that create ethical issues in society based on what the society and government expect from the people. For example, Iris Young argues that there are five faces of oppression in society: exploitation, powerlessness, marginalization, violence, and cultural imperialism (Cahn, 2019). Iris Young provides an interesting approach to the structure of society and the practice of government by describing how the people in power systematically exploit the disadvantaged, leading to a societal structure where the results of people’s labor are transferred to a specific social group to benefit the group. Exploitation creates powerlessness for the disadvantaged group because they are forced to take orders from the social group that benefits from their labor to continue earning the income they need to survive. Iris Young’s explanation of the five faces of oppression also provides an approach to understanding intersectionality, which is one of the ethical issues related to the structure of society and government practices. According to Shlasko (2015), intersectionality includes the connection between systems of oppression for marginalized and privileged identities as they influence experience and identity. Therefore, intersectionality can arise from the relationship between the five faces of oppression proposed by Iris Young. For instance, intersectionality can arise from marginalization and cultural imperialism, which create powerlessness, exploitation, and the threat of violence as the exploited groups push to achieve freedom and regain power.

Q1. Which classes of diabetes medications are either weight-neutral or cause weight loss? Please give one (1) example of a drug’s generic and trade name in that class. Q2. Based on the current guidelines of the ADA, it would be appropriate to treat her with monotherapy since the patient is hesitant to take any injections. What agent would you recommend? Please provide the trade name, generic name, the dose you would start the patient with, the frequency, and the route. Q3. What are the contraindications of your selected diabetic therapy? The patient returns to your office six months later, complaining of fatigue for the past two months, constipation, and heavy, irregular menses. Upon examination, you note that her skin is dry, and her fingernails are brittle. You suspect she has hypothyroidism. Q4. What lab workup should you obtain? What sort of results will you see in patients who have hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism? Q5. What is the treatment of choice for hypothyroidism? What is

What lab workup should you obtain? What sort of results will you see in patients who have hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism? 

The confirmation for hypothyroidism will be using Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free thyroxine test (Free T4 test). TSH test is a blood workup that tests the levels of TSH in the blood. The Free T4 test is a blood workup to test the levels of unbound T4 hormone in the blood. Besides testing for hypothyroidism, these tests can also be used to test for hyperthyroidism. In a patient with hypothyroidism, the results for the TSH test will show elevated levels of TSH, while the test for Free T4 will show low levels of T4 below 0.4 mU/L, indicating reduced thyroid function. For a patient with hyperthyroidism, the results from the TSH test will show low levels of TSH, while the free T4 test will show elevated levels of T4 due to increased thyroid function, increasing production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Q5. What is the treatment of choice for hypothyroidism? What is the mechanism of action? Please provide the initial dose, trade, and generic name of the drug, route, and frequency.

The treatment of choice for hypothyroidism is Levothyroxine (Chiovato et al., 2019). It is mainly marketed under Synthroid, Levoxyl, and Levo T. Levothyroxine works as a synthetic T4 hormone, therefore replacing the low levels of endogenously produced T4 due to reduced thyroid gland function. Once administered, Levothyroxine is activated into triiodothyronine (T3), which is critical in regulating metabolism and production of hormones for growth and development. The initial dose will include levothyroxine 25mcg, which is to be taken orally once daily in the morning.

Q6. What are the adverse effects, and what important teaching will you provide this patient on thyroid replacement therapy?

Thyroid replacement therapy can cause adverse effects, including hyperthyroidism and associated symptoms such as increased heartbeat, heart problems, anxiety, and loss of weight (Kalra et al., 2019). It can also cause osteoporosis. The patient will be educated on the therapy’s risks, medication safety, how to self-administer the therapy, the need for consistent administration of medication, any unexpected symptoms during the therapy, and foods and medications to avoid during the therapy.

Managing Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in an Obese Patient-Treatment Strategies and Patient Preferences Q1. Which classes of diabetes medications are either weight-neutral or cause weight loss? Please give one (1) example of a drug's generic and trade name in that class.

 

The classes of diabetes medications that are either weight neutral or cause weight loss in diabetic patients include the sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter proteins-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, also known as gliflozins, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. Consistently, GLP-1 has the most impact on weight loss, followed by SGLT-2, while DPP-4 has a neutral weight loss impact on obese patients (Haddad et al., 2023). An example of a medication from the SGLT-2 class is empagliflozin, which is sold under the trade name Jardiance.

The role of government in healthcare has evolved over time. In 1798, President John Adams signed the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen, imposing a twenty-cent per month tax on sailors to be used to pay for care at various American ports. This was America’s first federal “insurance mandate” and the first socialized medical program. The program was a small but impactful step on the part of the federal government, and it gradually led to the building of federal hospitals and then ultimately to the development of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), which still exists today. There have been numerous developments since then, including the creation of Medicare and Medicaid programs in 1965 and, more recently, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Healthcare as a “right” is a widely debated topic. Shi & Singh (2019) state it well: Health coverage in the U.S. “is considered a privilege for those offered insurance

Government in Healthcare

Government in Healthcare

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) brought about several notable changes that considerably impacted healthcare in the United States. One of the most prominent aspects was the expansion of health insurance coverage. The ACA allowed individuals to stay on their parents’ insurance plans until age 26 (Blascack et al., 2023). This prevented young adults from losing coverage when transitioning into the workforce. Additionally, it prohibited insurance companies from denying coverage on the grounds of pre-existing diseases. This ensured that individuals with prior health issues could also access insurance. The Act also established health insurance marketplaces (Rasmussen & Taylor, 2021). It provided a platform for individuals and small businesses to compare and purchase affordable plans. Furthermore, it offered subsidies to lower-income families to make insurance more accessible. Overall, the goal of the ACA was to improve the quality of care, enhance preventive services, and control healthcare costs.

NHS FPX 4000 Assessment 1 Applying Ethical Principles Effectiveness of Communication Approach in the Case Study

Communication is a crucial component in all steps of the healthcare process. One of the most important parts of communication is listening. Dr Kerr effectively listens to Jenna and Chris Smith. She learns about their lifestyle, the way they want to rise Ana, and their concerns about vaccination. Listening helps Dr Kerr to understand why the Smith family is against vaccination. Dr Kerr’s communication is effective in this case study because she focuses on patient safety, shares research findings and give examples. First, Dr Kerr states that vaccines have saved the lives of millions of children worldwide and have been largely responsible for the decrease in child mortality. Her statement shows that she is concerned about Ana’s health. Second, Dr Kerr shares the federal government’s VAERS website as a reliable source to confirm the vaccine’s safety.

Effectiveness of Communication Approach in the Case Study

Communication is a crucial component in all steps of the healthcare process. One of the most important parts of communication is listening. Dr Kerr effectively listens to Jenna and Chris Smith. She learns about their lifestyle, the way they want to rise Ana, and their concerns about vaccination. Listening helps Dr Kerr to understand why the Smith family is against vaccination. Dr Kerr’s communication is effective in this case study because she focuses on patient safety, shares research findings and give examples. First, Dr Kerr states that vaccines have saved the lives of millions of children worldwide and have been largely responsible for the decrease in child mortality. Her statement shows that she is concerned about Ana’s health. Second, Dr Kerr shares the federal government’s VAERS website as a reliable source to confirm the vaccine’s safety. Finally, Dr Kerr brings an example of the recent outbreak of measles. She wants the Smith family to see the consequences of not vaccinating their daughter Ana. Using effective communication, Dr Kerr shows that she respects the Smith family’s opinion about vaccination, but because she is a healthcare professional, she must educate them about the benefits and consequences of it. Even though Dr Kerr’s communication is effective in this case study, the Smith family refuses to vaccinate Ana at this time.

Resolving the Ethical Dilemma by Applying Ethical Principles

Healthcare professionals use the four ethical principles to resolve ethical dilemmas, such as in the case study. The four ethical principles include autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. In the medical field, autonomy respects a person’s freedom to choose what is right for them. Beneficence means that healthcare providers must do all they can to benefit the patient. All procedures and treatments recommended must be with the intention to do the most good for the patient. Nonmaleficence means that healthcare workers must do no harm intentionally. The justice principle states that there should be fairness in all medical decisions.

In the medical field, the patient’s autonomy often comes into conflict with the doctor’s beneficence. The doctor wants what is best for the patient but also does not want to take away the patient’s autonomy. In the case study, Dr Kerr faces the conflict between autonomy and beneficence. She, as a healthcare professional, wants the best for Ana because her parent strongly agrees with not vaccinating their daughter. Dr Kerr has to respect their decision based on the principle of autonomy. Dr Kerr shows her respect by listening and not coercing them to vaccinate Ana but by educating them about the importance of vaccination and its benefits.

To solve the ethical dilemma related to the case study, Dr Kerr could mention such organizations as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics. CDC is the nation’s health protection agency that saves lives and protects people from health, safety, and security threats. The mission of the American Academy of Pediatrics is to attain optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being for all infants, children, adolescence, and young adults. Both organizations apply rigorous scientific standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of research. Using these two sources, additionally with the VAERS website, could provide the Smith family with more reliable information and the possibility to change their opinion about vaccination based on building more trust. On the other hand, Dr Kerr could also use a story from her experience about an unprotected child who became ill or share a personal experience of vaccinating her family members. Sometimes true stories can build trust or at least make people think more and research more about the concerns they have. Despite the fact that Dr Kerr used effective communication when talking to the Smith family, they still refused vaccination at the end of the conversation. Refusing to vaccinate Ana despite the recommendations of Dr Kerr does not mean that Dr Kerr’s communication is not effective. Some people take a longer time to process the information they just heard or to do more research based on the suggestion given to them. It may happen that on the next doctor’s visit, Jenna and Chris Smith will change their opinion about vaccination. Dr Kerr also could contact Smith a few days after the visit. A caring call or email can provide comfort and reinforce trust.

This article aims to identify the causes of various medical errors and explore measures to prevent medical errors in Kuwait. According to the authors, medical errors account for about 60 percent of prolonged hospitalizations, 32 percent of adverse events, and 20 percent of mortalities. Findings indicate that misdiagnosis, wrong labeling,  wrong dosage, wrong route of medication administration, and the lack of detailed instructions are common medical errors in Kuwait. The factors associated with medical errors include a lack of optimized staff ratios, inadequate knowledge and training, negligence, and poor communication. Defective interdisciplinary collaboration and non-compliance to organizational policies and procedures are the other causes of medical errors.

This article is relevant because it identifies the types of medical errors that constitute healthcare system errors. Additionally, the article identifies the causes and impact of these healthcare system errors. This information will form the basis for formulating relevant strategies to minimize the incidence of these errors in Kuwait.

NHS-FPX 4000 Assessment 3 Analyzing a Current Health Care Problem or Issue Solution

The proposed solution is the adoption of telehealth services. Telehealth creates flexibility and improves access to healthcare services. Notably, telehealth is beneficial to those living in rural areas and those facing other geographical barriers (USC.edu, n.d.). Access to healthcare is improved via technologies such as video conferencing and the use of wearable devices (USC.edu, n.d.). These technologies facilitate remote patient monitoring and real-time interactions between patients and healthcare providers (USC.edu, n.d.). Telehealth eliminates the need for face-to-face interactions between healthcare providers and patients. It allows patients to access their preferred specialists (USC.edu, n.d.).

NHS-FPX 4000 Assessment 3 Analyzing a Current Health Care Problem or Issue Analysis of a Current Health Care Problem – Limited Access to Healthcare

Limited access to healthcare has impacts on the type and quality of care provided to various populations. This problem affects individuals with both acute and chronic conditions. Healthcare providers should collaborate with patients, their families, and other external stakeholders to improve access to healthcare services. This paper evaluates the problem of limited access to healthcare and proposes solutions to the problem.

Elements of the Problem/Issue

Limited access to healthcare occurs when individuals fail to access timely quality health services. Timely access to quality care is associated with better patient outcomes and safety. In this context, access to healthcare entails both healthcare facilities and providers. Limited access to healthcare worsens the prognosis of diseases, increases the risk of complications, and increases mortality and morbidity rates (Salami et al., 2020). This problem affects people from various sociodemographic backgrounds. However, it is prevalent among immigrants, ethnic minorities, and populations with low socio-economic status (Salami et al., 2020).

Various etiological factors are linked with limited access to healthcare. Firstly, high treatment costs limit access to quality healthcare services. Patients are forced to choose between basic needs such as food and costly healthcare services (Ayón et al., 2020; Fante-Coleman & Jackson-Best, 2020). When this happens, they are likely to forego healthcare services to cater to their basic needs. Notably, this is an issue of concern among the uninsured population forced to adopt the out-of-pocket payment method (USC.edu, n.d.). Secondly, lack of appropriate transportation limit access to timely and quality healthcare. Limited transportation can occur in the form of physical barriers and a poor public transport system (Fante-Coleman & Jackson-Best, 2020). Thirdly, inadequate public and patient education limits access to healthcare. The public should be educated about available community health services, healthcare sites, and available primary care services (USC.edu, n.d.). This increases the likelihood of accessing these healthcare services by the public. Fourthly, social determinants of health impact access to healthcare services. This entails aspects such as society and community factors and the environment. As aforementioned, immigrants, ethnic minorities, and populations with low socio-economic status are likely to have limited access to healthcare (Salami et al., 2020).

Applying Ethical Principles Capella University Developing a Health Care Perspective Applying Ethical Principles

Health care professionals face ethical dilemmas during their daily practice that require the use of their moral values, moral judgement, and principles when making decisions. There are four fundamental principles of ethics for the health care work to include autonomy, beneficence, no maleficence, and justice. These principles act as a guide for fair and ethical decision making by health care professionals. Many use the principles to make decisions when faced with complex health care situation involving patients. Overview of the Case Study Dr. Straight is the director of clinical services at Hopewell Hospital, since he took the position two years ago, new programs have been developed and quality is getting better. Dr. Straight was informed by the operating room supervisor of a problem.

Literature Review: How does nursing staff ratio influence patient care outcomes?

Literature Review: How does nursing staff ratio influence patient care outcomes?

To begin the search for articles that discuss the relationship between nurse staffing ratios and patient outcomes, the research question: “How does nursing staff ratio influence patient care outcomes?” was used in several different databases. These databases include PMC, BMJ, BMC, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar. While this initial search returned several articles, some of them were not written about staff ratios and patient outcomes per se, but may have included a discussion about that topic. Another search was undertaken using the search term: nursing staff ratios and patient outcomes at the same databases and this yielded enough articles to complete the literature review.

Nursing staffing, the literature proves, is a controversial topic. Some assert that increasing the nurse to patient ratio is the right action to take. Others suggest that nurse to patient ratios should be considered, but also the education of the nurse (i.e., BSN or above) also affects patient outcomes. The implication here, though, is that RNs with bachelor’s degrees can work understaffed with the same outcomes as having a proper nurse to patient ratio with less well-educated nurses. This results in discussions about the best staffing methodology. Another aspect that makes the discussion of nurse to patient ratios controversial is the cost of paying the nursing labor force. Nurses are the largest group of healthcare workers and their salaries certainly account for the largest portion of the salaries and wages paid by healthcare organizations. What most of the literature concludes, however, is that there is little empirical evidence about nurse to patient staffing ratios and patient outcomes.

Patient Outcomes Vary

While it may seem like a no-brainer, it is important to point out that patient outcomes vary. Patients may experience adverse events such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital acquired infections (HAIs) whether there is an adequate nurse to patient staff ratio or not. Aiken, et al. (2018) of Revista Médica Clínica Las Condes explains that mortality rates, for example, can be different in 2 hospitals in the same city, state or country. This may be because some hospitals have sicker patients. “The popular magazine Consumer Reports, for example, recently published an analysis of death rates in U.S. hospitals for elderly patients admitted for treatment of common acute medical conditions—pneumonia, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction—and surgery (4). Death rates for patients with these conditions were twice as high at some hospitals than for others” (Aiken, et al., 2018, p. 323). The same death rates were found in research Aiken et al. (2018) did in Europe too. It is important to keep that in mind because even absolute statements and comparisons of patient outcomes recognize the variability of experience.

Adverse Events

One of the claims made by several of the authors included in the review is that better nursing staff ratios will result in fewer adverse events (e.g., falls, pressure ulcers, being give the wrong medication, HAIs, etc.). Driscoll, et al. (2018) of the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing say, “Patients will also be less likely to experience an adverse event in units with a high nurse-to-patient ratio. This has important implications for clinical practice and the optimisation of patient outcome” (Driscoll, et al., 2018, p. 21). These types of general claims are made frequently in the literature; however, this assertion is not followed by a source of empirical evidence. There have been many qualitative studies done, but the results of these are useful in descriptive terms only. For example, He, Staggs, Bergquist-Beringe, and Dunton (2016) of BMC Nursing found that changes in nurse staffing were inversely associated with the rate of falls and pressure ulcers, but other factors included time of day and seasonal issues. However, they do not go so far as to claim a causal relationship. “No causal inference about staffing and patient outcomes can be made without control for improvements in quality of patient care from other aspects or changes in patient population over time, or other seasonal factors that may have influenced patient outcomes at the seasonal level” (He, Staggs, Bergquist-Beringe, & Dunton, 2016, pp. 8-9). Falls, pressure ulcers and HAIs are not the only negative patient outcomes that are thought to be affected by nursing staff ratios.

NURS-6521 Instructions: What type of drug should you prescribes based on your patient's diagnosis? How much of the drug should the patient receive? How often should the drug be administered? When should the drug not be prescribed? Are there individual patient factors that could create complications when taking the drug? Should you be prescribing drugs to this patient? How might different state regulations affect the prescribing of this drug to this patient? These are some of the questions you might consider when selecting a treatment plan for a patient.

Ethical and Legal Implications of Prescribing Drugs

Prescribing medications is a privilege that not all nurse practitioners (NPs) in every state have. In some states, the prescribing of medications by NPs is heavily regulated. In Maryland, the state where I practice, NPs can prescribe medications with the only restriction being they must have practiced under a physician for 18 months previous to earning the privilege. That means Maryland NPs are autonomous in this regard and must take the responsibility for prescribing medications seriously. Maryland NPs should know the laws that apply to prescribing medications and follow them. One practice, prescribing medications to friends and family, is not illegal in Maryland but any NP anywhere should be cautious about this practice because the prescription legally binds them to the consequences of the medication’s effect on the patient. Such prescriptions can come back to haunt them in the future. The purpose of this paper is to describe the best practice in the scenario of prescribing medications for a friend, the moral obligation to disclose medication errors, and to describe the prescription process.

Solving the Nurses Shortage using Technology and Excellent Leadership

The shortage of nurses is not a new issue, but it is one that is becoming increasingly more serious. Some, such as Cox, Willis and Coustasse (2014) who delivered a paper at the Business and Health Administration Association (BHAA) conference, have even considered the shortage of nurses as an epidemic in the United States because of its negative implications on healthcare organizations and the healthcare delivery system altogether (Cox, Willis, & Coustasse, 2014). Not having enough nurses means that nurses are unable to deliver as high of quality care as they would like to. Safety is another issue when there are not enough nurses, and safety in the workplace is a factor in nurse retention. According to Lawati, Dennis, and Abdulhadi (2018)

Windshield Survey and Community Assessment

Description of the Community

The Stanton Park neighborhood of Washington D.C. sits next to the Capitol Hill neighborhood where some of the important buildings that house the federal government of the United States are located. Stanton Park is an upper middle class community, but there are pockets of poverty within it also. In a city that is predominantly populated by African Americans. Stanton Park is predominantly white, middle class and educated. The homes are fairly new constructions including many townhomes and row houses. There are green spaces throughout, and Lincoln Park sits on one side of the Stanton Park area. The main health concerns in the area are heart disease, cancer and other chronic illnesses that are the same for the entire region and the entire of the United States. Health disparities exist to a degree in the Washington D.C. area as a whole, and probably in the Stanton Park area as well. However, the city of Washington D.C. and the District of Columbia are working to eliminate health disparities and other issues with 2020 as their goal.

Managing Patient Care in an Evolving Healthcare System

Today’s nurses must understand what drives the change that they see in healthcare. They must understand why there are mandates for practice change, and the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they will need to effect the change not only in themselves but throughout the healthcare system. Salmond and Echevarria (2017) of Orthopedic Nursing say, “To deliver these outcomes, nurses, from the chief nursing officer to the staff nurse, must understand how nursing practice must be dramatically different to deliver the expected level of quality care and proactively and passionately become involved in the change. These changes will require a new or enhanced skill set on wellness and population care, with a renewed focus on patient-centered care, care coordination, data analytics, and quality improvement” (Salmond & Echevarria, 2017, pp. 19, 21).

RESP 431 Cardiac Rehabilitation and Home Care Instructions: Please the four articles related to oxygen therapy.

Oxygen Therapy Literature Review

Long-Term Oxygen Treatment Trial Research Group. A randomized trial of long-term oxygen for COPD with moderate desaturation. New England Journal of Medicine,2016;375(17), 1617-1627. Retrieved from https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/1...

This article begins by talking about 2 tests done in the 1970s to see if long-term treatment with supplemental oxygen reduced mortality in patient with COPD who had severe resting hypoxemia. These studies led to recommendations that supplemental oxygen be given to COPD patients with oxyhemoglobin saturation of less than 89%. Other studies were done after that to see if supplemental oxygen should be given to patients with mild to moderate hypoxemia, but no benefits were found. This group of researchers did their own parallel-group, randomized clinical trial of long-term supplemental oxygen versus no long-term supplemental oxygen in patients with COPD and moderate resting or exercise-induced desaturation.

The study took place between January 2009 and August 2014. Seven hundred, thirty-eight patients were randomized into several groups. Three hundred, sixty-eight patients were randomly assigned to the supplemental-oxygen group and 370 to the no-supplemental oxygen group. In the supplemental-oxygen group, 220 patients were prescribed 24-hour oxygen and 148 were prescribed oxygen during exercise and sleep only. The patients were followed for a period of 1 to 6 years.

The results were that there was no difference between the study groups in the combined outcome of death or first hospitalization for any cause. No significant differences were noted in the subgroups of oxygen prescription, desaturation profile, race, sex, smoking status, nadir Spo2 during exercise, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, BODE index, SF-36 physical-component score, body-mass index, or history of anemia. The patients in the supplemental-oxygen group who had a COPD exacerbation 1 to 3 months before the study lived longer or had a longer time before their first hospitalization than similar patients in the no-supplemental-oxygen group.

The conclusion is that supplemental oxygen provided in the circumstances listed did not prolong death or first hospitalization. The study had some limitations like that some seriously ill patients did not take part in the trial and they may have been the ones that benefited most from the oxygen. There was no masking done, which may have affected the researchers and oxygen delivery was not done with uniform devices.

Human patient simulation

Human patient simulation (HPS) involves using a life-like mannequin on which nursing student can practice their skills, gain competency and confidence without negatively affecting an actual human patient. While it sounds like a great idea to help students learn and to avoid any unfortunate mishaps that may occur while a student is learning, there are issues associated with HPS that some may not have considered. Overall, however, HPS appears to be a great new innovative way for students to practice nursing skills and gain confidence in them before practicing them on an actual human patient.

Telehealth

Telehealth is not really a new phenomenon because nurses have been using the phone to check in with patients for many years. However, the concept of telehealth is to use the new smart phones and electronic devices to do more than check with patients verbally. Telehealth allows nurses and other healthcare providers to use electronic communications and telecommunications technologies to perform long distance clinical health care with data sent over the smart phone. For instance, some of the telehealth technologies allow providers to check a patient’s vital signs from a remote location. They can also video conference with a patient in real time and see how the patient is doing. One of the main benefits of telehealth is patient safety and improved outcomes. Telehealth is able to perform many different functions because of the variety, quality and level of complexity of the software that is used. Because of this newly innovated software, and old concept is advanced and the result is better patient safety and outcomes.

. This has forced multinational corporations to undergo massive changes, both in production practices and policy making. The relentless demand for affordable products is the major reason behind outsourcing of factories and production units. One of the most obvious benefits that this has bought about for the global economy is the increased source of revenue for countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, where labor is cheaper and plentiful on account of a constrained, service based job sector. The Ready Made Garment industry (RMG) in Bangladesh accounts for over 84% of its exports, and is mainly responsible for its meteoritic economic growth.

Developing an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) Using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model you will be developing a safety and health implementation plan. In this assignment, you are in the do (D) phase of the implementation process. You will develop controls strategies to address potential hazards identified during the planning phase of the implementation process.

The Emergency Action Plan (EAP)

When an emergency occurs, immediate action is always necessary to minimize harm to the people and property that may be affected by it. The range of responses to workplace emergencies may include similar components but depending upon several factors, emergency responses can be very different too. Regardless of the type of emergency and/or type of response that is best for the emergency, the first priority is the preservation of life.

Discuss how despite a past in slave ownership in the Caribbean, many British elites were able to distance themselves from this past after the abolition of slavery in 1833, and build cultural capital in Britain.

Legacies of British Slave-Ownership

In a classic and disturbing case of “blame the victim,” Catherine Hall, Nicholas Draper and Keith McClelland begin Legacies of British Slave-Ownership by revealing how the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) referred to slave owners as “vulnerable and the real victims of slavery,” victims because abolition forced them to relinquish their “property” (Hall, Draper and McCelland 2). Before the mention of compensation, slave owners tried to distance themselves from slavery. As they became separated by distance and time, it was easier to feel unconnected to slavery. Many slave owners were or became the British elite and went on to build capital in Great Britain using the money they earned in the West Indies with their free labor force and then later the compensation for abolition. Why were slave owners given money instead of the slaves? The answer is that the British government conceded to the slave owners, many who were property owners and members of parliament. Money took the sting out of their “victimhood.” This compensation was then reinvested in Great Britain in the railroads, religious institutions, schools and the financial institutions in London. In this twisted way, slave owners not only profited when they owned slaves but also when they had to free them.

2) How do cultural factors influence the plan of care for children/adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs)?

Since ASD touches all cultures, it is important to know what affects culture can have on the way ASD is perceived by a community. Some cultures will view ASD differently than the white American culture does, but white American culture is often assumed as the standard much to the detriment of some patients perhaps. There may be cultural myths about ASD in some cultures that can stop people from seeking help for their child who is suffering from it. They may be ashamed of the child or they may think the child is blessed with special powers depending upon their culture. This may delay treatment, which can be detrimental. It is important for people of all cultures to understand what ASD is. However, the information that can be shared with families how have a child with ASD may be right for some cultural groups but completely wrong for others.

1) Is the systematic neglect of culture in healthcare the biggest barrier to the advancement of a standard of care worldwide?

Culture matters greatly in healthcare. The systematic neglect of culture in healthcare is the biggest barrier to the advancement of a standard of care worldwide according to an expert that Dr. Jessica Dere cites in her Ted talk. People know stereotypes of cultural characteristics and assume that all people from a culture share those characteristics. This can be limiting and comparisons and distinctions are then made that can cause even further limits. Even just focusing on an individual is not good enough to address cultural care. In order to develop a full understanding of mental health, healthcare providers must understand not only the individual but also the culture from which they come.

Psychological and social aspects of developmental disabilities - autism

In recent years, the condition known as “autism” had gone through not only a name change to “autism spectrum disorder” or ASD, but also a great deal of research the result of which was a more accurate name for the collection of early-onset communication deficits and repetitive sensory-motor behaviors experienced by those who are diagnosed with it. ASD has a strong genetic component, but the research that has been done has given hope to many who have a loved one diagnosed with the disorder. At one time, people who were diagnosed with the most severe types of ASD—a diagnosis that lands toward the more severe end of the spectrum of conditions that make up the spectrum—had little hope of ever living a normal life. Now, more and more

Impact of popular shows such as Coco melon on children’s development

Coco melon is a very popular American YouTube channel as well as a streaming media show that mainly airs animation videos of original children songs and traditional nursery rhymes. The channel is so popular such that it is currently in second position in terms of most views globally and has the most views in the US. The channel’s content is made up of videos about babies as well as adults and animals who typically interact in portrayal of daily life. The popularity of Coco melon was spurred by the pandemic which caused an increase in terms of the hours spent by children and parents at home due to COVID 19 protocols

Human behavior and social environment Instructions: Part A. Discuss the impact of the media, video games and/or television on autistic infants, toddlers and/or children (ages 0-12). 2 pages. Part B. Discuss two interventions related to the information your provided in Part A. Describe the interventions and the effectiveness of the interventions -1 pg. 8.5 points

Impact of the media, video games and/or television on autistic infants, toddlers and/or children (ages 0-3).

Based on research undertaken by Duch et al., (2013), there is evidence that at least 68% of children aged 3 years and below use various forms of screen media such as television and video games and television on a daily basis. Interestingly, research varies in regards to the effects of screen time in young children with some studies suggesting that increased screen time for young children leads to diverse negative health outcomes (LeBlanc et al., 2017; ) while others have found certain benefits associated with limited screen media usage for kids (Ponti et al., 2017). In fact, some of the scientific research conducted regarding this phenomenon has found that there are positive effects, negative outcomes and even unknown effects associated with the use of screen media in children (Radesky et al., 2015; Reid et al.,2016 ). This paper will undertake an extensive qualitative research to investigate the impact of the media, video games and television on autistic infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years. This will provide a background to suggest the interventions that can be utilized to prevent adverse effects of screen media usage on autistic children particularly in order to boost their developmental growth and well-being.

California Students' Family Plans Paper Prompt and Instructions This paper is a qualitative analysis of current Cal students' views on and plans for family life. As a class, we will conduct an interview study of current students? thoughts on marriage, having children, and combining family life with careers. You will use the data we collect to conduct and write up your analysis in a research paper. There are two parts to this assignment. The first part is to interview another Cal student, using the interview questions provided and write up the interview. The second and larger part of the assignment is to write a paper based on your qualitative analysis of interview data from our class data-- your and other students? interview summaries. We will discuss and practice techniques for qualitative data analysis in class before the paper is due.

California Students' Family Plans Research Paper

The Baby Boomer generation, those born between 1946 and 1965, in terms of numbers alone, have dominated society since the end of World War II. Millennials, born 1981 through 1996, equal their numbers now though, and Generation Z, those born 1997 and later outnumber both groups by 20 million according to Statistia. Because society has changed a great deal since the Baby Boomers were young, the potential for great generational gaps exist. This study was done to examine the differences between generational attitudes among those young people reaching adulthood now, which includes both Millennials and Generation Z. The 12 respondents to a questionnaire used for this study fall into population segments. Like their parents and grandparents of the Baby Boomer generation segment, they are changing society’s perspective on many issues including sexuality, marriage, divorce and religion. Despite the fact that respondents bridge the Millennial generation and Generation Z, they reflect the differences in attitudes toward these issues as the current literature demonstrates. Generational differences can be seen in the responses to the questionnaire and these generational differences while leading to a more progressive society also reveal that the divide in politics and society that exists should not be a surprise to those who study how culture and society change over the span of generations.

This research project invites you to better understand how racial/ethnic identity might affect educational achievement. Your assignment is to prepare a RESEARCH PROSPECTUS as if you were to engage in a year-long, ethnographic research project in Oakland Technical High School (you will not do the actual research). Remember that the research prospectus reflects your individual work. If you worked well with other students when gathering scholarly articles for the literature review, you are welcome to peer edit each other's papers, but the final research prospectus must be your own work. I've included a link to the research prospectus criteria above. You can also find this file in the Research Prospectus module. There are basic steps common to every research proposal. 1) Introduction: present your research question and tell us why it is important. 2) Literature Review (the longest section): tell us what other scholars have said about your research question. It would be an excellent str

After School Programs Research Prospectus

After school programs are important aspects of education. Some students attend them for help with academics. Others in an effort to have productive activities in which to engage after school while their parents may be working. The goals of after-school programs (ASPs) are to boost the morale of students, provide inclusivity, and help with academic success for students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and/or minority population, studies vary on how successful ASPs are at achieving these objectives. More rigorous standards should be applied to the development and implementation of ASPs to ensure the success of students of varying ethnicities. For example, some non-English speaking ASP participants are placed in English-only programs that have proven not to be successful for students who do not understand English. Another example is that students often differ culturally and the programs are designed with a “model student” in mind. That model student may not match the reality for students from some cultures. That leads one to question whether after-school enrichment programs help students of different ethnicities perform better. One such program, the Oakland Tech After School Program. African American students make up a significant proportion of Oakland Techs multicultural student population and many attend the ASPs offered at the school. However, recent studies have shown that 66% of African Americans scored below standard in mathematics, and 36% of African Americans scored below standard in English. Oakland Tech had one of the lowest percentages of USC/UC Credits completed at 44.9%. This makes one wonder why this is the case if ASPs are promoted as being useful especially for African American students who are disproportionately the students who attend ASPs. That leads to the research question: Does participation in the Oakland Tech After School Program boost academic success for Black/African American students?

In the film "White Like Me" as well as the articles we see how race and ethnicity are historically, socially, and linguistically constructed. For this essay, first identify and discuss the evidence that Wise and Brodkin present to support the argument that "whiteness" is a socially and historically constructed phenomenon. Do you agree or disagree with their arguments? Explain. Define and discuss code-switching as it relates to race and ethnicity. What are some examples of code-switching related to race and ethnicity that you engage in and/or have observed in your everyday life?

In the film White Like Me, Tim Wise talks about how American society is centered around race and racism. He explains that white people do not think about being white because they are the majority, and they have developed policies and institutions that benefit them and not minorities. This is where the concept of white privilege comes from. Beginning with the Constitution, the white male founders of the United States included privileges for white people that other people who also lived in the country did not have. Since then, racism and racial identity has played a major role in the way American society has developed. Now the racial biases that are built into American society are so common that white people do not even realize how they affect people of color.

AFAS 200 ESSAY 1 Instructions: Think critically about and support your responses to the prompt you select/develop. If you are responding to one of the prompts below, please indicate (below your title) the number of the prompt that you are responding to. If you choose to respond to your own prompt, you must include your prompt above your response. 1) Is the term “third world” pejorative or descriptive? How, if at all, is the term rooted in racism and/or capitalism?

Is the term “third world” pejorative or descriptive?

One rarely hears the term “third world” anymore. When it was used, it was used in a pejorative sense or as an insult. One cannot claim that the term is descriptive because there are not three worlds. The term came about because Western countries, no doubt led by the United States, after World War II, considered themselves the “first world.” They thought they were the most sophisticated, the most advanced, and, therefore, the “first” in everything. The second world was the Soviet nations. They too were sophisticated and advanced, but were also the enemy. They could not be considered “first.” The third world accounted for everyone else even if they were not an impoverished country

Evolution vs. Creationism: Reality vs. Mythology

The Evolution/Creationism debate is an ongoing debate that may seem as if it is a matter of science versus religion, but it can also be seen as a clash of cultures and politics as well. The debate is about what should be taught in schools, evolution, creationism or both. Some want just evolution or just creationism taught. Others think it is fair to teach both, but they are not equal entities: evolution is science; creationism is literature and religion, and religion is not supposed to be taught in public schools based on separation of church and state laws in the Constitution. So if both are taught, should they be taught side by side or in separate classes such as science and literature or English classes?

n the story of the poisoned arrow, explain Buddha's reason for telling this parable to his disciple, Malunkyaputta. Why does Buddha maintain a "noble silence" when it comes to the "unanswered questions"? Do other religions and philosophies answer these questions? Why does Buddhism NOT answer them? What does that tell us about Buddhist dharma?

Buddhist Parable of the Poisoned Arrow

Buddha answers the question in the parable about why he maintains a noble silence. He says, “Because all this is useless, it has nothing to do with real Dhamma, it does not lead to cessation of passion [grasping and agitation], to peace, to supreme wisdom, and the holy life, to Nirvana. That is why I have not taught all this” (Lugenbehl). The questions that Malunkyaputta asks such as what the man looked like: his height, weight, skin color, his tribe and his status in life are all unnecessary to know about another person according to Buddha. What is important to know is what the Buddha said, “He will die” (Lugenbehl). We will all die. We all suffer, and we can all help to relieve each other’s suffering. By doing so, we relieve our own.

Formulate an argument and support it using examples, from readings and lecture, of authors? arguments and real-world cases.

Essay on Liberalism and Anarchism

The current system under which the United States operates is liberalism although, it was damaged before, and the Trump administration has caused even greater damage. Some Americans have wanted to revolt since Trump was put into office against the will of the majority of Americans. Liberalism has failed. Socialism is the talk of many Democratic candidates for president, but Americans are afraid of socialism. They are even more afraid of anarchy—what they fear could occur though. Americans may have to decide between liberalism and anarchism in the near future.

General Constitutional Restraints on Political Power Found in the U.S. Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution serves to establish a government of the people and by the people. The Constitution also allows for elected leaders of the people. Because the founders knew that human nature was flawed and that, even in a country based on individual rights and freedoms, there may some who try to take more power than what is given to them when they are elected. For this reason, the founders put constitutional restraints on political power of elected individuals. For instance, a limitations on Congress is that it cannot appoint someone King or give titles of nobility. While this is not a normal fear of Americans today, in 1789, when the Constitution was created, it was a fear because the successful American Revolution had been fought to be free of the oppressive power of the king of England. Not only can Congress not appoint someone king (or any other sort of sovereign ruler)

In her paper “A Contextual Approach to Privacy Online”, Helen Nissenbaum argues that we should resist the notion that a single set of privacy rules can be crafted to cover the vast, multifaceted, and “radically heterogeneous” totality of the internet. Instead, she argues, we should utilize existing privacy norms for offline social contexts to shape our approach to privacy within equivalent online contexts. In this assignment, you will explore Nissenbaum’s arguments and apply her approach to evaluate current online privacy practices.

Context and Online Privacy

An activity often carried out online nowadays is email. It was one of the greatest parts of the internet when it first became widely available to the public. This is because what often took up to a week in the past could be done in less than a minute depending upon one’s modem speed. The old-fashioned way of sending mail was to write something out either by hand or typewriter, fold it up and place it in an envelope which was then sealed, stamped and placed in a mailbox where the United States post office (or the equivalent in other countries) would retrieve it and take it to the post office. Then the letter’s postage would be “canceled” and the letter sent to its destination.

For it to make a project successful, Project governance needs to be tailored to the organization's specific needs, and there are eight components that must be considered. These components will influence how you create and implement as well as monitor and control the governance framework on your project, program and even portfolio (Alie, 2015). The eight components are as follows: • Governance Models • Accountability and Responsibilities • Stakeholder Engagement • Stakeholder Communication • Meeting and Reporting • Assurance • Project Management Control Process Question: What is that drives the success of Project governance and why should a Project Manager utilize the theory/concept? Reference:

The Benefits of a Governance Strategy in Project Management

Governance occurs at different levels because there are many different types of projects and the objectives of those projects may be better obtained with different focuses. In other words, project governance takes place in context. Corporate governance is always present, but project governance can vary from project to project. It influences the way projects are managed because governance provides structure by determining which projects are selected, who manages them and to whom the progress is reported (Joslin & Müller, 2015, p. 1381). Of course, the project governance is determined by the organization’s vision, mission and culture. Project governance should not engage in practices that the organization does not also endorse (Badewi, 2015, p. 7). So, project governance can be looked at as a way to promote organizational values in every project that is done.

Developing an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) Using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model you will be developing a safety and health implementation plan. In this assignment, you are in the do (D) phase of the implementation process. You will develop controls strategies to address potential hazards identified during the planning phase of the implementation process.

The Emergency Action Plan (EAP)

When an emergency occurs, immediate action is always necessary to minimize harm to the people and property that may be affected by it. The range of responses to workplace emergencies may include similar components but depending upon several factors, emergency responses can be very different too. Regardless of the type of emergency and/or type of response that is best for the emergency, the first priority is the preservation of life. Knowing the proper response may be the difference between life and death, so it is important that emergency protocols are established and implemented. An EAP lists the types of actions that every employee of an organization should take during emergencies. They are vital for every employee to understand, practice and be able to access if they should need to.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Compliance Audit Using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model we discussed in Units I, II, and III, here you will address the “check” (C) and “act” (A) portion in this assignment. Continuing with the scenario presented in the Unit VII Assignment (refer to Unit VII Assignment in the syllabus), you are now assuming the role of an OSHA compliance safety and health officer who has been assigned to perform an audit of the facility where the accident occurred. You have been asked to evaluate the company’s safety management system (SMS) to determine if there were any deficiencies in the system that could have caused the accident. You are required to prepare a summary of your audit process to evaluate the post-accident findings compliant with OSHA standards.

Integrated Safety Management Systems

Inspecting a workplace after an accident may seem like a straightforward task. However, as an OSHA safety inspector, I will be looking for the risks or hazards that the SMS at the workplace has omitted. Hopefully, it will be a learning experience for everyone involved, and the workplace will be a safer place after the audit is complete.

Opening and Closing Conferences

Since the audit is an External Third Party audit, the auditor would be involved, the safety manager, and the employees involved such as the maintenance manager in the opening conference. The injured employee and the employees who witnessed the accident or had information about the accident or the forklift could be met with at another time. Other than those relevant employees, I would invite as many employees as wanted to be involved in the audit to join in though. McKinnon (2017) says, “As many employees as possible should be involved in the safety auditing process. This provides further training” (McKinnon, 2017, p. 91). I would also invite a mechanic from a neutral business so that there was a neutral expert on hand to look at the brakes on the forklift, but that would also be at another time before the audit. This way I would have the relevant reports and my own eye witness view of the setting of the accident.

For the closing conference, all those involved/interested would be invited. McKinnon (2017) says, “Once all the documentation has been reviewed and systems are verified, a feedback session is held with all concerned parties. Here, the auditors present feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the system, and at the conclusion, announce the score for each section and the total for the entire safety system” (McKinnon, 2017, p. 95). The closing conference is where all parties find out the results of the audit, and that is important for everyone to know.

The young women in the stories do not come of age in the stories, but they learn what that entails for them. Both stories involve references to the natural world and to sexuality, although the time setting in which they were written allowed for more direct comment in “

Part 3: Emotional Self -Awareness: The skill of perceiving and understanding one’s own emotions The capacity to identify and understand the impact one’s own feelings is having on thoughts, decisions, behavior and performance at work Emotional Expression: The skill of expressing one’s own emotions effectively Creating greater understanding amongst colleagues about yourself Creating trust and perceptions of genuineness amongst colleagues

Part 3

The last part of this class was about emotional self-awareness, or the ability to understand one’s own emotions, and emotional expression, the skill of expressing one’s own emotions effectively. These are definitely important skills to have as McGuinness points out. Being able to understand one’s own emotions and express them in a meaningful way ensures that when others do the same, one can have empathy for them. It is important to have empathy for the person one coaches because, as a coach, one needs to know what motivates, inspires, frightens, angers, etc. the person they are coaching. Then the coach can work with those emotions to bring out the best that the coachee can be. McGuinness says, “

Part 2: You are required to develop a plan to address how employees will provide safety and health suggestions. You must develop a two-page suggestion system that addresses the information listed below: what type of information you will want to collect (form development), how often forms will be collected, who will review the suggestions, how decisions will be made regarding the suggestions, and timelines for actions on the suggestions.

Part II

Type of Information to Collect

All employees should be encouraged to report workplace situations that are approaching or becoming hazards such as slippery conditions in winter weather, health concerns such as mold in the break room, and SMS program shortcomings such as an area of the workplace that does not get scrutiny such as employee restrooms or breakrooms. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) (2016) explains that workers are the best people to report such things because they may see situations about which management is unaware (OSHA, 2016). Other types of information that should be reported include unsafe conditions, close calls, near misses, and actual incidents.

The Lover by Marguerite Duras and Simple Passion by Annie Erneaux are feminist novels, written by French women who live in a patriarchal world, but write in the way that the choose subverting patriarchy. However, one could say that patriarchy is represented throughout both novels: both of the protagonists are women who have love affairs that are illicit and both play with the conventions of the novel. What is more interesting is how the two authors subvert patriarchy: both protagonists are speaking

Research paper on Apichatpong Weerasethakulm’s film, Cemetery of Splendour.

Apichatpong Weerasethakulm’s Cemetery of Splendour

Apichatpong Weerasethakulm’s film, Cemetery of Splendour, is, for those who see it, interesting on many different levels. To begin with, viewers cannot be sure what to make of the film. The entire story is about soldiers who have a mysterious illness that makes them fall into comatose states where they appear to be dreaming. They exist in a former school set in a rural area of Thailand. One of the characters, Jen, who lives in the rural area and volunteers to help care for the soldiers, attended the school when she was young, long before it became a hospital. She becomes attached to one of the soldiers named Itt, who has moments where he comes out of his comatose state and talks to Jen about what occurs in his coma.

Select a significant tragic event (either domestic or global) that has occurred during the last 50 years. After describing the event and the post-tragedy events, discuss the ethical aspects revolving around this incident. This may require some additional research to understand the ethical situations and the impact these had on affected people being able to move on with their lives. Describe the actions of people and organizational leaders directly and indirectly involved with the tragedy. Specifically, address the ethical issues they faced. What were some of the actions of local, state and federal personnel with respect to dealing with this tragedy? Explain the strategies of organizations that attempted to assist with the clean-up after the tragic event. Describe several of the pressures that influenced their strategies. Distinguish between social responsibility, integrity and simple business ethics. How has this event affected the ethical culture here in the United States? What other

Ethical Aspects of Fukushima Nuclear Accident

On December 26, 2004, an earthquake of 9.2 magnitude occurred in the seafloor off the coast of Indonesia. The earthquake caused the most destructive tsunami in recorded history across the Indian Ocean. Mills (2014) of Earth Magazine describes the tsunami: “A wall of water and debris slammed the shores of South Asia; some witnesses described it as sounding like a freight train. Tourists and locals alike scrambled to safety inland and atop tall hotels, recording videos of the surging water that inundated their communities. Many were unable to reach higher ground” (Mills, 2014). The tsunami hit 11 countries that border the Indian Ocean including Indonesia, India and Somalia. In the low-lying coastal regions, the wave caused damage hundreds of meters inland and damaged thousands of miles of coastline. Nearly 230,000 people lost their lives. In some countries like Thailand, many tourists lost their lives, but the majority of the dead were people who worked and lived in the tsunami destruction area. Beyond the human toll, there was devastation to infrastructure such as the roads, electrical and communications. Drinking water was also contaminated. Approximately 1.7 million people were displaced by the tsunami. They lived in temporary refugee camps, in some cases for years. Many lost their means of making a living leaving them poverty stricken also (Mills, 2014). The 2004 tsunami was one of the worst disasters in recorded history, but the aftermath, while not demonstrating ethics across the board, was far more positive than it was negative.

Global Ideologies and World Order Instructions: Colonialism entails a nation or state invading the territory of another nation and ruling in the colonizers' own interests, rather than those of the local people. Some anti-colonial activists believed that nonviolence was the best way to end colonial rule and achieve autonomy or independence. Others argued that colonialism could only be defeated through violent struggle. Is violence justified in fighting against colonial rule? Why or why not? Formulate an argument and support it using examples, from readings and lecture, of authors? arguments and real-world cases

Is Violence Justified in Fighting Against Colonial Rule?

When asked if violence is justified in fighting against colonial rule, many people may say no. They would side with the better nature in humans that says non-violence is always better than violence. However, most of these same people, if they thought back to the history of their own nation—and for some it might not even be distant history—there was at least one violent overthrow of a colonial government in the past. They would surely think violence was justified because it ended the oppressive control. Yet, today, war weary people do not want violence. No one really ever has wanted violence, but they wanted to be free

Please choose one of the following questions and respond to it: 1) Identify and discuss the general constitutional restraints on political power found in the U.S. Constitution. or 2) Explain what the implied powers doctrine is, how it evolved, and how it has been used to strengthen the powers of the national government.

General Constitutional Restraints on Political Power Found in the U.S. Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution serves to establish a government of the people and by the people. The Constitution also allows for elected leaders of the people. Because the founders knew that human nature was flawed and that, even in a country based on individual rights and freedoms, there may some who try to take more power than what is given to them when they are elected. For this reason, the founders put constitutional restraints on political power of elected individuals. For instance, a limitations on Congress is that it cannot appoint someone King or give titles of nobility. While this is not a normal fear of Americans today, in 1789, when the Constitution was created, it was a fear because the successful American Revolution had been fought to be free of the oppressive power of the king of England. Not only can Congress not appoint someone king (or a

Question 1

Globalization is the process of contact, collaboration and assimilation with people, companies and governments of other nations. Globalization is done mainly for the purposes of international trade and investment. Information technology made globalization possible on a wide scale, but people have participated in trade, communication and collaboration with people of other nations for thousands of years. The main features of globalization include an economy that is dominated by investments all around the globe, multiple production locations and processes, low costs for transportation, the information and communication technology revolution, deregulation of national economies, and the relevance and ubiquity of major transnational economies.

Ethics in business relationships include both the external and internal relationships that develop around the organization. For this assignment, you will focus on the internal relationships that develop inside the organization. Studies have indicated the more positive the environment within the organization, the more productive the employees. Research one or a combination of these job-related topics found within organizations: job discrimination; sexual harassment; bullying or unsafe working conditions. 1. Briefly describe the issue. 2. Analyze the impact on overall morale, relationships within the organization and ultimately overall productivity levels. 3. Research a minimum of one company that was caught up in this type of issue. 4. What best practices might a company implement to avoid negative behavior within their organization? 5. How would you rate the ethical practices of the company that you chose (excellent, fair or poor)? Explain.

Sexual Harassment’s Impact on Morale, Relationships and Productivity

The impact of sexual harassment is not just felt by the person being harassed. If a woman is being sexually harassed at work, her co-workers see it and those who are female may fear that it could happen to them. They see that there is nothing being done to stop the behavior and that makes them worry that it may be part of the company culture. A harassed person can lose his or her job or a chance for promotion if he or she does not concede to the harasser if the harasser is someone in authority. Or, the harassed person may be so uncomfortable they quit their job. The harassment makes the workplace hostile and that can traumatize not only the harassed person but also those who witness it and believe that it is sanctioned by the company.

Pathological Mechanisms of Chronic and Acute Asthma Exacerbations

Research Paper on Asthma

Recent research of asthma has led to the conclusion that asthma is not a specific illness, but more of a general descriptive label for a group of related symptoms and/or disorders. Bush (2019) of Frontiers in Pediatrics says, “The term ‘asthma’ was no more a diagnosis than is ‘arthritis’ or ‘anemia.’ It is an umbrella term that should be used to describe a constellation of clinical symptoms, namely wheeze, breathlessness, chest tightness and cough” (Bush, 2019, p. 1). Yet these symptoms are indications of the issues occurring within the respiratory system of patients who have these symptoms. Hyperresponsiveness is a common feature of asthma and is the cause of many acute asthma exacerbations.

In her paper “A Contextual Approach to Privacy Online”, Helen Nissenbaum argues that we should resist the notion that a single set of privacy rules can be crafted to cover the vast, multifaceted, and “radically heterogeneous” totality of the internet. Instead, she argues, we should utilize existing privacy norms for offline social contexts to shape our approach to privacy within equivalent online contexts. In this assignment, you will explore Nissenbaum’s arguments and apply her approach to evaluate current online privacy practices

Context and Online Privacy

An activity often carried out online nowadays is email. It was one of the greatest parts of the internet when it first became widely available to the public. This is because what often took up to a week in the past could be done in less than a minute depending upon one’s modem speed. The old-fashioned way of sending mail was to write something out either by hand or typewriter, fold it up and place it in an envelope which was then sealed, stamped and placed in a mailbox where the United States post office (or the equivalent in other countries) would retrieve it and take it to the post office. Then the letter’s postage would be “canceled” and the letter sent to its destination. If it got accidently sent to the wrong address, the sender had to resend it or the receiver had to wait for the person that got the letter to put it back in their mailbox so it could be delivered to the correct address eventually. It was a long and arduous process, but email solved all those problems and created some new ones.

Reflection Paper on Group Communications

Communication is important no matter what sort of business one is in. People must communicate in order to conduct business. Healthcare professionals must communicate with patients, families and each other. Teachers must communicate with students, parents, and other teachers and educational professionals. Merchants must communicate with customers, suppliers and government officials. These are just some examples. However, communication is influenced by many things including cultural bias and leadership styles. Most industries require that people work together in order to get things done.

Steven' King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

In 1999 Stephen King was involved in a terrible car accident that left him badly injured. Once he had recovered enough to write again, he wrote On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. In this book he describes what it has been like for him as a writer and gives advice to other writers. The book is divided into sections that talk about different things. For instance, in “C.V.” King talks about what happened in his life that made him become a writer, and those things did not include going to a prom and having pig’s blood dumped on him, having a rabid dog, or owning a car that would kill people like the subject of a few of his books. In the section called, “What Writing Is” talks about how much the written word adds to the lives of people

Research Paper on Year Round Schooling

Most schools in the United States are set up for sessions to begin in the middle of August or first part of September and then run until late May into mid-June. Then there is a twelve-week break during the summer. The school year was initially set up that way because the majority of parents were farmers and needed their children home to help with the growing and harvesting the crops during the summer months. That is no longer a consideration, yet the same school schedule exists.

Soldier's Identity: The Influence of The Red Badge of Courage

Stephen Crane, author of The Red Badge of Courage and Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, provide two examples of the way trauma novels represent the experience of trauma. Henry Fleming and Billy Lynn, their respective protagonists, are similar characters in trauma novels. They are both young American men who are engaged in war for the United States military. Both are considered war heroes, and both have their own misgivings about that. Henry and Billy are influenced by their culture to view their military service in a particular way, but their views are different. For Henry, serving in the U.S. military makes him a man; for Billy, serving in the U.S. military makes it possible to avoid felony charges. Henry also believes in th

Investigate the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Workforce With the rapid growth of AI, experts are predicting that intelligent software and robots will revolutionize jobs that are being performed by humans today, with some even claiming that AI will result in the end of work as we know it. These predictions are often based on pure speculation as there is currently a lack of data in terms of what jobs are being replaced by AI, the rate of progress of AI and what new jobs are emerging due to AI. In class, we discussed jobs that will be eliminated by AI, jobs that will be augmented by AI and jobs that can only be done by humans. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many deeper issues related to these topics and there are also many other issues that we did not cover. In your final report, you will do a deeper dive into the subject of AI and the workforce.

Coaching as a leadership style for personal, professional and organizational development. Part 1

Coaching as a leadership style for personal, professional and organizational development.

Part 1

The section, “Introduction to Emotional Intelligence coaching and Assessment,” taught that emotions are important in coaching. Mark McGuinness, author of Creative Management for Creative Teams says, “In addition to their core coaching skills, many external coaches have specialist expertise that makes them particularly suited to certain coaching assignments. Specialisms can include leadership, sales, negotiation, mediation, presentation skills, creativity, psychology and emotional intelligence” (McGuinness 16). Richard Boyatzis of Case Western University talks about a person who inspired us because they gave us a positive feeling about what we could achieve. That is a good coach with emotional intelligence as their specialty, the type of coach I hope to be. It was inspiring just learning that it was okay to be a positive coach rather than a negative one always criticizing.

Coaching should have a positive objective of getting the person being coached to perform their best. McGuinness says that coaching is goal-focused, and the goal is getting the person to do their best (McGuinness 26). While constructive criticism that is negative can be helpful, it should be balanced with more that is positive so that the person being coached feels good about themselves and looks forward to being coached rather than dreading it. I would rather inspire people in a way that they look forward to being coached than in a way that they dread it.

Coaches can achieve this emotionally intelligent coaching by listening to their coachees and looking at them to see what is going on with them. This develops empathy (McGuinness 27). Having empathy involved will always bring up emotions. One goal of coaching should be to get an emotional response. When emotions are involved, the coachees are more committed to the objectives (McGuinness 40). That is important to success for them and for me as the coach.

Anti-Semitism in Medieval England

 

Outline the basic history of the event(s). You can use a timeline or write it out.

 

Jews arrived in England after the Norman conquest around 1066. For the first century, they lived peacefully and apparently without much oppression. They flourished financially even though they were forbidden to practice some occupations. One they could practice was money lending, which Christians could not practice. Jews also were involved in the coining of money and one of Oxford’s earliest colleges, the Merton College, was financed by a wealthy Jewish family. The king protected Jews, but also taxed them heavily—more heavily than Christians. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the taxes became even heavier and material goods were confiscated from Jews to help pay for the crusades in the Holy Land. When John became king, he taxed the Jews even more and imprisoned whole communities if they could not come up with the money to pay the taxes. By the middle of the twelfth century, physical attacks and other types of oppression and abuse came about because of the furor over the crusades and continuing stereotypes about Jewish people.

Course: MAS 150 Tour of Tucson Instructions: TOUR OF TUCSON. Visit at least 2 sites in Tucson relevant to Latinx communities. Write a 2-page response (450 words) to each of your visits. Incorporate 2 class readings.

Mexican American Studies: Tour of Tucson

The Tucson Convention Center is an interesting place. It houses the Tucson’s Musicians Museum. Latinx people make music and are interested in music in the same way people of all ethnic groups are, so it is possible the exhibits at the museum will appeal to them. Latinx people may also want to attend one of the many shows or conventions that the Convention Center holds every year. For instance, several holiday events are schedule throughout December that anybody, including Latinx people, may be interested in. There are sure to be aspects of these events such as the “Shop Local Mingle and Jingle” on December 7 and the Southwest Nutcracker on December 14th and 15th that will appeal to the Latinx culture as well as to other cultures. If in no other way, then they will appeal commercially, which is what marketers, manufacturers and retailers are hoping for. They want to appeal to all ethnic groups. Jose Alamillo asks, “How have marketers and advertisers used Latino/a culture to sell products? Has increased Latino/a consumer power contributed to increased attention of Latino/a cultural traditions?” (Alamillo 218). The answer to the first of Alamillo’s question is marketers and advertisers appeal to the things they believe Latinx people like such as certain types of food and music. Both of these things make up a great deal of the events that occur at the Tucson Convention Center. The second question is a rhetorical question it seems and the answer is yes: Latinx in recent years have become a big segment of the consuming population because they have become a large portion of the population of the United States. Alamillo says, “Latino/a buying power is expected to increase from 5.2% in 1990 to 9.6% in 2008. Another report estimated that Latino/as currently spend $400 billion annually in the United States” (Alamillo 219).

Organizational Analysis School of Nursing, University of South Alabama NU 613-813

The general perspective behind the organizational analysis is to simply appraise the development, growth, operations, performance, personnel, and work environment of a specific organization. Employing organizational analysis is beneficial, as it enables top management, leaders, and subordinates to identify various areas of weakness, strength, and opportunities and then discover strategies and actions for eliminating potential challenges and threats. For this paper, our main objective is to conduct an organizational analysis based on Collin’s framework, Edgar Schein's Model, and Polarity Theory to analyze a specific organization that renders mental health services to a larger community. Our paper would also include the analysis of leadership styles, the culture of the organization, and complex adaptive systems. Furthermore, it will also demonstrate how the Hedgehog concept, Flywheel concept, and disruptive innovation have been applied to the organization under study.

Pharmacotherapy for Cardiovascular Disorders

Behavior Factor’s Influence on Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Processes

HM is taking a number of medications, not all of which are compatible with each other. Some of them are also not compatible with some foods and beverages. Warfarin, Metformin, and Glyburide all have a moderate level of interaction with alcohol, so it should be avoided when taking any of them let alone all three of them. Mayo Clinic (2018) lists other foods and beverages that should be avoided when taking Warfarin include cranberries, cranberry juice, foods high in vitamin K such as soybean and canola oils, spinach and broccoli, garlic and black licorice (Mayo Clinic, 2018). These foods can cause problems such as increased or reduced medication effectiveness. According to Harvard Medical School (2013) the foods listed can cause arrhythmia which could account for HM’s atrial fibrillation (Harvard Health Publishing, 2013). But it is not just in his diet that HM must be cautious with the medications he is taking.

Is the term “third world” pejorative or descriptive?

One rarely hears the term “third world” anymore. When it was used, it was used in a pejorative sense or as an insult. One cannot claim that the term is descriptive because there are not three worlds. The term came about because Western countries, no doubt led by the United States, after World War II, considered themselves the “first world.” They thought they were the most sophisticated, the most advanced, and, therefore, the “first” in everything. The second world was the Soviet nations. They too were sophisticated and advanced, but were also the enemy.

An information technology program critique of the bar-coded medication administration

Bar-Coded Medication Administration Systems

Medication errors may have tragic consequences for patients. While that is bad enough, they also damage the reputations of healthcare organizations, the nursing profession and the cost is quite expensive. A good portion of adverse drug events (ADEs) are preventable. They can occur during the ordering, administration, transcription or dispensing stages, but a good share of ADEs are committed at the point of administration. With bar-coded medication administration (BCMA) systems, the likelihood of committing a medication administration error is decreased because the system checks all of the aspects of the medication and verifies that each of them are correct. Unfortunately, even though BCMA systems have been around for over 3

Telehealth is not really a new phenomenon because nurses have been using the phone to check in with patients for many years. However, the concept of telehealth is to use the new smart phones and electronic devices to do more than check with patients verbally. Telehealth allows nurses and other healthcare providers to use electronic communications and telecommunications technologies to perform long distance clinical health care with data sent over the smart phone. For instance, some of the telehealth technologies allow providers to check a patient’s vital signs from a remote location

Explain the pressures associated with ethical decision making at Farrows Bank. Evaluate whether the level of managerial hubris would have been decreased if Farrow Bank had a truly ethical business culture. Could this have affected the final outcome of Farrow Bank? Explain your position. Your response should be a minimum of three double- spaced pages.

2. Farrow clearly thought that his ideas of helping poor people, women and Jews, who were unable to bank in the other banks that were around at the time his was, was such an ethical thing to do that his methods did not matter. He allowed an untrained bookkeeper to keep the books without outside audit for decades. When the bookkeeper retired, his son who had no experience in accounting took over. It was only the two of them who managed the books for all of Farrow’s bank branches (Hollow, 2014, pp. 8-9). If Farrow had been as clever and as good of a business person as he claimed to be, and that in his hubris he thought he was, he would never have allowed such an unprofessional practice to occur. However, he actions show utter disregard for the safekeeping of his customer’s money.

Madonna and Child, ca. 1290–1300, Duccio di Buoninsegna

The Madonna and Child painted by Duccio di Buoninsegna is one of numerous paintings of the two figures created by painters over hundreds of years. However, it is a remarkable one because it is one of the first that depicts the Madonna and Child as humans rather than iconic figures. In the late Middle Ages, the era in which this painting was made, most religious figures were iconic rather than realistic. In other words, they were used as images to look at when worshipping and not as humans that actually once existed in the flesh.

Explain what Nike has done to improve this situation since this 2011 video. Include the use of codes of ethics and other ethical standards implemented within the organization. Is your opinion of Nike any different now after viewing this video? Would this change your buying behavior with respect to Nike products?

Since 2011 Nike ran the ad for Kaepernick. Spellings (2018) of The Cut says, “Nike has done bang-up job of reversing that image. Business of Fashion and Morgan Stanley have both hailed the company for its sustainability efforts. Nike has an entire site dedicated to its social impact with stories, stats, and pictures of happy people working in its factories. Now, by aligning itself with Kaepernick, Nike stands for a new kind of activism and has new power” (Spellings, 2018). Spellings (2018) goes on to say that there is a glaring omission in Nike’s new CSR image, and that is workers rights. She specifically says that it is transparency problem in the product chain for Nike. Nike will not say what it pays the factory workers, and no effort to try to raise the wages so that the workers can have at least a slightly better life. When workers protest and try to unionize to protect their rights and put up a united front, Nike has them beaten and jailed.

From Nike's standpoint, is this a fair assessment of their ethical standards? Explain the some of the ethical issues that Nike is facing in the case.

Nike Sweatshops: Behind the Swoosh

1. Trying to get the workers in Indonesia fair wages is not really inflicting Western values on them. Perhaps it is inflicting justice and fairness, but those are not just Western values. Every human wants to be treated fairly. It is a universal desire. Nike brought the Western values of greed and sweatshop slavery to the people of Indonesia. Perhaps they did not have jobs before Nike came, but Nike exploited their poverty and desire to have an income by not paying them a living wage. Nobody believes that they would be paid minimum wage by Western standards, but they should be paid a living wage that does not require them to work hours overtime just to survive. That is not a job; it is slavery.

Nike Sweatshops: Behind the Swoosh

1. Trying to get the workers in Indonesia fair wages is not really inflicting Western values on them. Perhaps it is inflicting justice and fairness, but those are not just Western values. Every human wants to be treated fairly. It is a universal desire. Nike brought the Western values of greed and sweatshop slavery to the people of Indonesia. Perhaps they did not have jobs before Nike came, but Nike exploited their poverty and desire to have an income by not paying them a living wage. Nobody believes that they would be paid minimum wage by Western standards, but they should be paid a living wage that does not require them to work hours overtime just to survive. That is not a job; it is slavery.

Nike tried to deny that they were using sweatshop labor in the 1990s, but if they had nothing to hide then they should have allowed the Americans in who wanted to see what it was like inside the factories. Instead, Nike denied them access, sent security to threaten them and then follow them to their homes. This does not sound like a company with nothing to hide. Nike has the social responsibility to ensure that their workers are being treated fairly and not being threatened. Yet, when a worker tried to unionize, she was beaten and illegally jailed for doing something that every worker should have the right to do and that is seek a better work standard than below poverty wages, long hours and terrible conditions (Nike Sweatshops: Behind the Swoosh, 2011). Phil Knight acts as if he is a philanthropic person, but he does not show much kindness or caring to his own workforce. He is the one imposing the Western habit of greed rather than showing the universal trait of love and caring about one’s fellow human beings especially those who work to make their boss wealthy.

2. The case referenced in the YouTube video had to do with the sweatshop conditions in Nike factories in Indonesia in the 1990s. Today, there is more concern over the same issues. Bain (2017) of Quartz explains, “Nike contract factory in Hansae, Vietnam, suffered wage theft and verbal abuse, and labored for hours in temperatures well over the legal limit of 90 degrees . . . . Nike is also accused of cutting jobs at the Hansae factory and pulling production from a factory in Honduras with a strong union presence, resulting in hundreds of workers losing vital jobs (Bain, 2017). Nike also will not let an independent group called the Worker Rights Consortium inspect their factories. This makes not sense unless they have something to hide. This leads one to ask, what are Nike’s ethical standards?

Nike aligns itself with companies that share the same values. If they did not, the companies would not want to work with them. Someone who contracts with Nike either does not know or care how Nike makes so much money by not paying living wages or making sure their factories are not below the standards expected by basic human rights. Nike should be boycotted by both consumers and collaborators until they get their ethical house in order and stop exploiting workers in poor countries who are just trying to make a living. Nike tries to put on a face of corporate social responsibility, but where the rubber meets the tennis shoe, they do not demonstrate social responsibility even if in the Western world they have tried very hard to seem as if they do. For instance, they recently created an ad with Colin Kaepernick citing him as a courageous person, and he is, but it seems as if the Kaepernick ad says that people should see that Nike supports Kaepernick’s efforts at justice for African Americans. However, justice for the people of Indonesia, Honduras or Vietnam is not a concern, and it should be

Each student will compose a cogent well defined paper comparing the efficacy of the Department of Homeland Security's aviation terrorism prevention strategy in concert with the Transportation Security Administration's AvSec policies. Material for this research will come from the textbook, lectures, handouts, and independent study from academic sources on the topic.

DHS's efficiency

Almost immediately after the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, transportation safety became an important focus for the government. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) were created. Now, these two agencies work together to prevent further terror attacks using the nation’s transportation system in conjunction with transportation systems of other countries. This is done in many different ways from establishing and maintaining a terror watchlist to inspecting the luggage of passengers. While there have been some near misses, there have not been any other aviation associated terror attacks in the United States since 2001

Business Plan

Sometimes I am so busy studying now that I am in college, and working to pay the bills, that I forget to exercise. If I were to start a business that allowed me to get exercise, then I could feel as if I were not wasting my time while I was exercising. Since I am no personal trainer, I thought I would start a dog walking business. I have a dog and I walk him every day so both of us get exercise. There is no reason why I could not walk a few more dogs—or maybe a whole lot more dogs—and get my exercise. That might allow me to give up my other low-paying job and just work for myself. Since I love dogs, this is the perfect business for me, and the business is located in California where the weather is almost always nice.

To start the business I do not really need anything but a leash and some reliable poop bags for cleaning up after my charges. I can advertise on Facebook and on bulletin boards of local pet stores, vets and grooming facilities. I may even get enough business that I have to contract some of my walks out to other people.

Imagine you are creating a new and innovative technology company. In this assignment, consider the culture, management, and leadership of your organization. Remember that your company should be a place that people want to work. Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you: Describe the characteristics of the people you would want working at your company, in relation to the culture you are trying to cultivate. Identify two (2) leadership qualities you would look for in employees. What does their background and previous experience look like? Discuss your company?s organizational culture. What are the ways you can help ensure that the company?s culture fosters creativity and innovation among employees?

Creating a Culture of Innovation

Starting a new technology company may be difficult but it is easier than trying to create an innovative culture in an established company. Established companies have institutions and a company culture that may be difficult to navigate and/or to overcome. When an entrepreneur starts a tech company, it means s/he gets to select employees that will help to make the company the way the they want it to be. They can hire people with proven successes in leadership, innovation and enthusiasm. That way, the entrepreneur can create a company with the culture of their choosing.

All the top technology firms from the US - Google, Facebook, PayPal, Microsoft, eBay, Twitter, Amazon, and LinkedIn - have their European headquarters in Ireland. Most trade economist believe that Silicon Docks, the location in Dublin where foreign technology firms are located, attracts more FDI than its geography, population and market size would predict. If market size and proximity to the European market are not the primary factors for Ireland’s attraction as an FDI destination, (i) In your opinion, what factors make Ireland an important FDI destination for US technology firms? (ii) Should the UK exit the EU, will this bolster Dublin’s importance as a strategic country for FDI in the technology sector? (note that Ireland is part of the EU in its own right)?

Factors that Make Ireland an Important FDI Destination for US Technology Firms

In recent years, Ireland has become a magnet for many foreign direct investments (FDIs). The leader in those investments is the United States, followed by Germany, the UK, and Russia. Ireland has many attributes that draw the foreign investments, and they have cultivated these attributes carefully to draw tech companies to their shores. However, with the looming Brexit rapidly approaching, the careful work that has gone into making Ireland an attractive place for foreign investors could suffer some damage, but the extent of the damage is difficult to predict

Interdisciplinary Commerce Studies Course Reflection

Part 1

In this section, I learned that having emotional awareness is important for anybody regardless of their profession, their interests, or their lifestyle. One way to think about emotions according to Chris Delaney of Employment King is by how much heat they generate, the color they represent, or the part of the body that they effect. Delaney suggests that a counselor ask their clients to draw a human body and then use one of those three methods to describe the emotion (Delaney 11). So, some people may feel sorrow, for instance, as blue, cold or located in the heart, where others may see it as black, hot, and located in the eyes that shed tears when there is sorrow.

Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business

Turning Over the Rock

This chapter is about engaging with customers and forming a relationship with them. Gathering information about customers helps a business owner offer what customers want. Meyer (2006) says, “The more information you collect, the more frequently you can make meaningful connections that can make other people feel good and give you an edge in business” (Meyer, Turning Over the Rock, 2006, p. 81). Often it is obvious that a customer is unhappy or well-pleased and it is written on their face. Meyer (2006) also says that the standard “the customer is always right” mantra is no longer the case. He likes to tell people they are wrong while still keeping them happy and engaged.

The many suggestions Meyer (2006) offers about how to pull off the fact that the customer not always being right and still keep the customer can be helpful in a tense situation. However, customers are wise to the way businesses no longer consider them “always right.” Having a code that alerts co-workers to a potentially bad situation is good, but customers do not go out to eat or to go shopping to be told that what they want is wrong. It might be better if one were to make them feel right even if they are wrong. That would be the true measure of management perfection, but it is difficult. It might be best to practice scenarios before they occur.

Business Ethics Article Review

Summary

Carucci (2016) of the Harvard Business Review explains why business people violate ethics. He basically says that the reason for this is that these people have good intentions but their bosses expect them to do certain things and doing them may not be ethical. Carucci (2016) says that progress has been made in business ethics, partly because of laws that control some of the unethical practices of yesteryear. However, he also says, “Despite progress, 41% of workers reported seeing ethical misconduct in the previous 12 months, and 10% felt organizational pressure to compromise ethical standards” (Carucci, 2016). He uses the recent Wells Fargo scandal as an example. In that issue, 5300 employees fraudulently opened over 1 million accounts without client permission to do so. This indicates a systematic issue rather than an employee ethics issue.

Carucci (2016) then goes on to list 5 ways that business organizations cause their employees to make unethical choices. These include making it unsafe to speak up against unethical practices, putting excessive pressure on employees to reach unrealistic performance standards, having conflicting goals that come off as unfairness, leaders not controlling employees behavior, and having no good examples to follow (Carucci, 2016). If a company has ethical policies that are upheld and there is an ethical culture, employees may not be so tempted to violate ethical standards to meet goals.

Business Ethics: Monster Energy

Monster Energy is an energy drink manufactured by a company once called Hansen Natural Company. It changed its name to Monster Energy in 2002. According to Investopedia (2019), in 2015, Coca-Cola bought Monster Energy and now it sells all the energy drink labels while Coke sells non-energy drinks including Hansen Natural Sodas (Buehler, 2019). Monster Energy produces 34 different beverages including its Monster Energy line. Some reports say that energy drinks contain the equivalent of 4 cups of coffee in one beverage, but Monster claims its drinks have between 160 mg to 188 mg. of caffeine per 16 oz beverage. However, the website, Caffeine Informer (2019) cites Consumer Reports who tested Monster Energy drinks and fo

How has this company handled the ethical implications of its product with a focus on social responsibility, integrity and business ethics?

Ethical Implications

Monster Energy knows that there have been many incidents of people becoming ill from their products. In 2013 they were sued because of the harmful effects of their drinks, often on young people and/or associated with the Monster Energy drinks being consumed in association with exercise or participation in sports activities. Despite this, at the Monster Energy website under the heading “Social Responsibility,” there is no mention of the ethics of the contents of their beverages. The do mention fair trade, avoiding human slavery, environmental sustainability, having control over their supply chain, human rights policies, and philanthropy, but nothing about how their beverages can harm or kill people (Monster Energy, 2019). According to Class Action.com (2019), Monster Energy settled three lawsuits for the deaths of three people related to the consumption of their beverages. They currently have another lawsuit making its way through the judicial process (Class Action.com, 2019). The remaining unsettled lawsuit involves a man who had a series of strokes after consuming four Monster Energy drinks in one day.

Because Monster Energy settled with the families of people who died from consuming their beverages, it seems as if they are admitting that their products can be harmful to consumers. However, they have not pulled them from the market. They also have not attempted to improve them. They have added additional warnings to the labels, which may be all they are required to do by the FDA. Clearly, Monster Energy does not really care much about the harm that their products do to the consumer. They have deep pockets since they are owned by Coca Cola and they can stop any settlements they make with those who sue them from being disclosed. This takes the issue out of the public consciousness. Meanwhile, people continue to work hard, not sleep enough and cram more activities into their days than most humans are physically capable of. That means they want energy drinks.

Leadership and Ethics

Better leadership of Monster Energy would be useful to improve their social and ethical reputations. Not only has the company been sued several times because of the harm their beverages cause, they have also been sued for sexual harassment and discrimination among their female employees and one department head was under felony criminal indictment. Peck (2018) of Huff Post says, “Even as he awaits a criminal trial for allegedly strangling his girlfriend during a business trip in 2016, Brent Hamilton is still the head of music marketing at Monster Energy . . . . John Kenneally is a vice president at Monster despite three women accusing him of bullying, harassment and retaliation” (Peck, 2018). From the sounds of it, changing leadership would solve many of the problems Monster Energy has.

Instructions: In the film "White Like Me" as well as the articles we see how race and ethnicity are historically, socially, and linguistically constructed. For this essay, first identify and discuss the evidence that Wise and Brodkin present to support the argument that "whiteness" is a socially and historically constructed phenomenon. Do you agree or disagree with their arguments? Explain. Define and discuss code-switching as it relates to race and ethnicity. What are some examples of code-switching related to race and ethnicity that you engage in and/or have observed in your everyday life?

White Like Me

In the film White Like Me, Tim Wise talks about how American society is centered around race and racism. He explains that white people do not think about being white because they are the majority, and they have developed policies and institutions that benefit them and not minorities. This is where the concept of white privilege comes from. Beginning with the Constitution, the white male founders of the United States included privileges for white people that other people who also lived in the country did not have. Since then, racism and racial identity has played a major role in the way American society has developed. Now the racial biases that are built into American society are so common that white people do not even realize how they affect people of color.

Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus is a small region of the brain near the pituitary gland that functions as a gland also. Saper and Lowell (2014) of Current Biology say that the hypothalamus is the earliest parts of the brain to form. It is also the smallest, weighing in at about 4 gm of the average 1400 gm of the adult human brain (Saper & Lowell, 2014, p. 1111). Despite its small size, the hypothalamus has several important functions including releasing hormones, regulating body temperature, maintaining biological functions, controlling appetite, managing sexual behavior and controlling emotional responses. According to Han (2018) of Healthline, the hypothalamus is divided into three regions each with its own nuclei, which is a cluster of neurons that perform the vital functions listed above (Han, 2018). Each section of the hypothalamus secretes hormones that have specific functions.

NURS 6501 Advanced Pathophysiology Week 1 Discussion Alterations in Cellular Processes

 

 

This paper is being written to explain the pathology of cystic fibrosis. I personally have a friend who has this disease and have learned from her. The topics that will be covered are, how cystic fibrosis is created at a cellular level, genetics role in cystic fibrosis, the reasoning for the symptoms that the patient presented with, the description of the cells involved in cystic fibrosis, and how other characteristics would change the child’s response to cystic fibrosis. In short what I remember from nursing school is that cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder which is an autosomal recessive gene that is carried by both the mother and the father. The abnormality occurs in chromosome 7 which is where creates an inability to transport small molecules across the cell’s membrane, which in turn, dehydrates the cells of the epithelium and this then creates dry secretion. This is a broad overview of what this disease is, but I will go into further detail below.

 The Role Genetics Plays in the Disease

Genetics play an important role in this disease, according to an article published in PubMed titled Cystic fibrosis genetics: from molecular understanding to clinical application states that due to a defective epithelial cell that is defective, this cell is inherited and is an autosomal recessive gene. The genetic information that is in the cell, which is the recipe for the cell to make proteins (Cutting, 2015).  According to Pathophysiology of disease: An introduction to clinical medicine, if a person receives a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTCR), or a person can receive two copies of the CFTCR gene. This copy has a mutation of the cystic fibrosis gene, furthermore these two copies of the CFTR gene have stored a mutation which is the on chromosome seven. So, when the recipe is being presented to the cell to be made, the genetic information is then stored into the deoxyribonucleic acid which is known as DNA.  This is part of the twenty-three pairs of chromosomes, but on the seventh chromosome, the cystic fibrosis recipe is stored in that chromosome. In the DNA, where the CFTCR gene recipe lives, if there is one copy of the recipe than the gene will not show up in the person but will be a carrier but if there are two copies of the recipe being stored in the chromosome than the cystic fibrosis gene than the person will have cystic fibrosis (McCance at el., 2019)

NURS 6053 week 2 Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue Upskilling of the Healthcare Workforce: A Pertinent National Healthcare Issue Affecting Healthcare Organizations in the United States

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system. NURS 6053 week 2 Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.

In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected. NURS 6053 week 2 Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

To Prepare:

Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.

Though the intelligence process is a significant issue such as information or data scalability, data collection, and information analysis need to be addressed. With the amount of data collected and it is difficult to extract relevant information within a small amount of time. Additionally, with different sources used in the collection of data, translating and processing it make it unbearable due to different languages and cultural backgrounds of some information. Analysts are overwhelmed when massive data are collected and need to be processed and analyzed. Thus mistakes or failures may arise when analysts are sorting through huge data to find the relevance to issues that need to be addressed.

Can a machine replace the position of an editor? In part, it does seem to be possible thanks to GPT-3 technology, which is nothing more than an artificial intelligence (AI) model whose main utility is the generation of texts from a seed text. “Although a priori it can be a threat to humans, GPT-3 is usually used more as an inspiration tool to generate a base and for the editor or content creator to improve it”, comments José Gabriel García Ortega, CEO of La Caja Company. Although many companies are reluctant to incorporate it, GPT-3 technology is one of the first systems to show the possibilities of general artificial intelligence and, therefore, it could become a great discovery of the 21st century. Thus, García Ortega has developed five keys on the GPT-3 and analyzes how it is revolutionizing the content generation ecosystem. In my essay, I want to highlight them.

Questions and Predictions What are the resources required for the interprofessional CAUTI care bundle implementation?

The resources required are rather few and will facilitate stakeholder communication. Each team member discussing the change intervention will receive an appreciation token of $1000 after the care bundle is ready to be implemented. Costs of the care bundle will be determined as the team discussions continue and the specific care interventions are agreed upon. Other resources include utilities such as electricity, snacks and electric gadgets to facilitate the meetings.

HIPAA Research via The Department of Health and Human Services Website

I had no idea that there were so many “levels” of HIPAA and patient rights. All the different rules and regulations for the special topics, the depth of the Patient Safety Rule, the involvement of the OCR. Even though there was an overwhelming amount of information to research through, a lot of it seemed somewhat familiar. This paper discusses some points I found that I actually learned about.

HIPAA To Meet Federal Prerequisites For Electronic PHI Upkeep, Transmission, And Capacity

The healthcare business is continually developing to meet federal prerequisites for electronic PHI upkeep, transmission, and capacity. The present healthcare organizations are picking HIPAA-compliant partners that diminish the risk of PHI breaches, decrease network unpredictability, counterbalance capital expenses, and upgrade network nimbleness to convey better patient care and healthcare service conveyance at a lower cost. As these healthcare organizations coordinate their data and business structures in the virtual space, they have to constantly put resources into hardware-improved security technologies and software arrangements that ensure personalities, data, and frameworks. Somebody from the C-Suite needs to trust in the inborn advantages of HIPAA, for required consistency as well as a positive impact to improve the client experience and upgrade the brand esteem. Healthcare organizations and their partners need to grow best practices, measures, and administration models to guarantee HIPAA-compliant procedures and policies are incorporated with their operational models, instead of being an insignificant idea in retrospect.

Should the Government Provide Free Health Care: Argumentative Essay

It is said that the United States is the land of freedom and opportunity, but it is rarely ever mentioned that it is also the land that has the most expensive healthcare system in the world. By which, many cannot possibly afford. Many countries have been transitioning to free healthcare systems, but the United States seems to not be following that lead any time soon. I believe that government should provide free health care to everyone in the United States because it is a human right, it could potentially save a lot of lives, and reduce overall healthcare spending.

The Affordable Care Act and Universal Health Care Controversy: Essay

In December 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which eliminated the individual mandate penalty, effective January 1, 2019. The tax bill included a provision that revoked the individual mandate that was part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA). The individual mandate requires most Americans (other than those who qualify for a hardship exemption) to carry a minimum level of health coverage. Under the ACA, individuals can purchase healthcare insurance that meets the minimum healthcare coverage standards required by law from licensed agents or on or offline directly from insurance companies regardless of pre-existing conditions. Section 6055 of the Internal Revenue Code, adopted through the ACA, requires employers with 50 or more full-time employees and government programs to offer 'minimum essential coverage' and report proof of health insurance coverage for anyone employed with that company or who is in a government program.

Universal Health Care System of Iran and England: Compare and Contrast Essay

 

 “Give people what they need: food, medicine, clean air, pure water, trees and grass, pleasant homes to live in, some hours of work, more hours of leisure. Don't ask who deserves it. Every human being deserves it” (Howard Zinn, ‘Marx in Soho: A Play on History’). Health is considered as one of the major rights of humans and thus all people should have access to resources needed for health care. “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity” (WHO, 1947). Health systems are complex entities with many different stakeholders, including patients, clinicians, health care providers, purchaser organizations, regulators, the government and the broader public.

“Nursing Practice and Healthcare Delivery Model Revision”

With the current laws and regulations governing the U.S healthcare system, insurance companies have been benefiting while patients have been receiving substandard services from various institutions. It is important to note that these kind of inefficiencies have resulted in the wastage of resources yet citizens are not getting quality treatment. The U.S. healthcare system has faced ongoing political debate. Reforms have been enacted in recent years, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA), to improve quality, accessibility, and affordability. The ACA addresses critical issues, requires insurance coverage for all, and creates marketplaces for consumers to compare and buy policies (U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2022”). This has increased access to health insurance and quality healthcare services for many individuals and families.

Health Care Delivery Models and Nursing Practice Outline a current or emerging healthcare law or federal regulation introduced within the last 5 years to reform or restructure some aspect of the healthcare delivery system.

Healthcare reform continues to be a highly charged and contentious topic in the United States. A significant portion of the American population holds the view that healthcare is a fundamental necessity that should be available to all individuals, regardless of their race, religion, gender, economic circumstances, or any other demographic characteristic. Nevertheless, crafting legislation that outlines the means by which such care should be funded remains a significant challenge. According to Le Blanc et al., (2020), the Sustaining Excellence in Medicaid Act of 2019, introduced by Michigan Representative Debbie Dingell and signed into law on August 6, 2020, represents a recent federal healthcare reform in the United States. The bill introduced several reforms. One of the major changes involved extending Medicaid appropriations through the fiscal year 2024, ensuring continued funding for the program. I

Week 6: Discussion Question – Leadership Diversity Discussion Prompt How does lack of diversity among leaders in healthcare organizations affect patient care? Discuss at least two examples of how you, as a nurse leader, would encourage a diverse and inclusive culture with your leadership team.

Expert Answer and Explanation

Leadership Diversity

The quality of patient care is dependent on several factors including the need for better and critical decision making among the leadership of the facility. In this regard, leadership diversity plays one of the most important roles in the proper functioning of an organization, the absence of diverse leadership can have numerous consequences on the overall patient care. Lack of diverse leadership leads to possible bias in decision making as there lacks of multiple points of view regarding a subject matter (Bowles et al., 2018).

Module 6 Assignment: Professional Development Assignments: Public health efforts and those of private medicine complement each other and together serve the spectrum of health service needs of American society. Why, then, has their relationship been so contentious? The Institute of Medicine report of 1999 cites two major studies that establish medical errors as one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Should the federal government take the necessary steps to monitor the status of this high-risk situation, as it does with other epidemics, or should the government continue to trust the providers of health care to deal forthrightly with the problem? Analyze why legislative attempts to address only one of the trio of rising costs, lack of universal access, or variable quality of health care only worsens the remaining two.

Expert Answer and Explanation

In a time when the healthcare sector is constantly evolving, more and more issues emerge, which calls for a thorough analysis of those issues and available solutions to be reached to improve the level of services offered. One of the issues observed is the disconnect and contentious relationship between public health efforts and private medicine. The two ideally should be working in tandem with one another, to better the health outcomes of the public.

The challenge of reducing the number of medical errors, which has been cited as one of the leading causes of disability and mortality, is one that has also received public limelight and should be addressed. Another emerging issue has been the single approach used by the government to healthcare instead of the prescribed triple aim model. This paper will analyze the three issues in detail with the aim of providing insight and direction on how to improve the delivery of healthcare services going forward.

From: Alex Brandon

CC:  Jar Rodgers

 

Dear Mr Craig Wicheal,

The cloud services industry is growing rapidly. Many businesses find it cheaper, easier and more reliable to use cloud services than to run their in-house servers. There are two main types of cloud service providers: in-house and hosting. In-house providers are usually large companies with their own data centres and staff. Hosting providers are usually smaller companies that lease space in data centres from other companies. In-house providers usually have more resources and can provide more features than hosting providers. However, they also tend to be more expensive. Hosting providers are often a good choice for small businesses that do not need all the features of an in-house provider. They can be less expensive and provide more flexibility.

Scenario 3: A 34-year-old Hispanic-American male with end-stage renal disease received a kidney transplant from a cadaver donor, as no one in his family was a good match. His post-operative course was uneventful, and he was discharged with the antirejection drugs Tacrolimus (Prograf), Cyclosporine (Neoral), and Imuran (Azathioprine). He did well for 3 months and had returned to his job as a policeman. Six months after his transplant, he began to gain weight, had decreased urine output, was very fatigued, and began to run temperatures up to 101?F. He was evaluated by his nephrologist, who diagnosed acute kidney transplant rejection.

Expert Answer and Explanation

Kidney Transplant Issues

Causes of the Presented Symptoms

The patient experience the presented symptoms due to the following reasons. First, he experienced weight gain because he had a kidney problem. The function of healthy kidneys is to remove excess waste from the body in terms of fluid. Kalantar-Zadeh et al. (2017) note that people with kidney problems often gain weight because their kidneys are not healthy enough to excrete excess body fluid. In other words, the patient in the case gained weight because he has a lot of waste fluid on his body.

Compare and contrast each of the three questions related to Managed Care Organizations, Medicare, and Medicaid with one another and explain how they were similar and different to each other. Managed care organizations emphasize physicians‘ responsibilities to control patient access to expensive hospitalization and specialty care, a principle dubbed “gatekeeping.” Some argue that “gatekeeping” is unethical because it introduces financial factors into treatment decisions. Others say it improves quality by promoting the use of the most appropriate levels of care. Medicare is an area that often gets overlooked and is seen as a burden financially. Discuss alternatives to ease the drain on Medicare resources. Medicaid is shouldering an ever-increasing burden of cost for long-term care for the elderly, with enormous impacts on state budgets throughout the nation.

Gate-Keeping, Medicaid, and Medicare Management

The increasing healthcare costs have always become one of the major barriers of accessing the right levels of healthcare in the US. Healthcare insurance comes in handy in reducing this burden, and ensuring that individuals receive subsidized healthcare services through the financial aid such as Medicare and Medicaid (Sohn & Timmermans, 2017). The increased demand for healthcare services, especially among the aging populations, however, has led to a significant drain in Medicare and Medicaid resources, creating questions as to whether these insurance services would be able to serve in the coming years.

How medical staff can be utilised effectively to provide effective medical care for clinical incidents in the neonatal intensive care unit

 

Introduction
The neonatal intensive care unit is undoubtedly one of the most critical and significant sectors of any nation’s health system. Any possible critical situation involving a neonate automatically translates to a situation or condition which has a high probability of disabling or immediately life-threatening consequences and which requires immediate intervention. It is significant to realise that such situations are of utmost importance for the whole medical environment and that neonate intensive care management is a very significant aspect of general health-care. Especially, when a neonate is presented to the intensive care unit, this can present a challenge to even the most experienced clinician. The purpose of this paper is to review and critically evaluate the resource management of the intensive care unit relevant to care offered to neonates. The main theme of this paper will be centred around the issue of how resources can and should be effectively utilised in the intensive care unit, in order to provide the most effective treatment/care possible to the neonate.

Using Castro’s Cuba as a Case Study, to What Extent Can We Consider Communism a Sustainable Form of Government? Introduction

After Batista was overthrown in 1959, Castro assumed military and political power and became the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba. Adopting a Marxist-Leninist model of development, Castro converted Cuba into a one-party communist state, the first in the Western Hemisphere. Communism is a philosophical, social, political and economic ideology whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a communist society. Kurian (2011) argues that in a communist society the proletariat have been liberated, public ownership is advocated and there is communal control of the major means of production, distribution, transportation, and communication.

Essay on How Can the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer Be Improved? Symptoms and stages of breast cancer

Lung cancer (LC) which is also referred as lung carcinoma, is characterised by a malignant tumour in the lung which is due to the uncontrollable tissue cell growth (1). LC has two main types, small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and similar to other cancers, LC, is typically initiated by the activation of oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes (1). It is thought that approximately 10-30% of adenocarcinomas are due to K-ras proto-oncogene mutations. Individuals with this condition most often experience symptoms of hemoptysis, chest pains, weight loss and finally shortness of breath (1). Furthermore, LC is also responsible for majority of cancer related deaths (fig. 1).

Describe the posts or conversations in which you have engaged that might be considered inappropriate based on the professional standards of nursing. Discuss why nurses have a responsibility to uphold a standard of conduct consistent with the standards governing the profession of nursing at work and in their personal lives. Include discussion of how personal conduct can violate HIPAA or be considered unethical or unprofessional. Provide an example of each to support your answer.

Professionalism and Social-Media Social media is taking over as the means for communication as the world moves away from the traditional mainstream media. Research indicates that, in most professions, the hiring team scrutinizes the applicants' activities on social media. Some people have failed to secure jobs because of their social media activities. In the nursing profession, privacy and confidentiality is critical. Additionally, nurses and healthcare professionals must be cautious of what they post on social media and the kinds of interactions they have. Various unethical and inappropriate conduct on social media can create legal problems for healthcare practitioners and nurses. Describe the posts or conversations in which you have engaged that might be considered inappropriate based on the professional standards of nursing. After reviewing my social media profiles, posts, and conversations, I have realized that some things I said and posted can create legal problems for me. According to Whitney, S. (2018), social media platforms give nurses and the public a space to air their views and opinions regarding various things in multiple ways. Various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter (now X), Instagram, and other platforms allow nurses to conversate with one another. Sometimes, when airing our opinions, we might be conversing with patients without knowing. After reviewing my social media profiles, I have realized that I once posted about my patients and colleagues. Although I did not disclose any private information on social media, I discussed a case I was handling with complete strangers on social media. Although the conversation started as an innocent engagement, I could not take control of the direction that the conversation took. Based on the professional standards of nursing practice, discussing an ongoing case is illegal and punishable by law. Although I deleted these posts, I realize it was wrong to discuss such on social media because my post invited opinions from unlicensed people

Discursive Essay on the Possibility of Applying Violence in Video Games

The criminal justice system, which is made up of law enforcement, attorneys, judges, courts of law, and prisons, was created with the intention of protecting the public by prosecuting and jailing, while also providing justice to those accused through defending and sentencing. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system is unable to work properly if members within the society are not provided with accurate and trustworthy knowledge. That being said, video games take a massive toll on the criminal justice system due to the negative attention towards law enforcement and bad influences regarding criminal behaviour within the games. Modern-day media feeds off of true crime and horror related stories. Everyone wants to learn more about the disappearance of others and the function of a serial killer. Video games are a prime example of how the youth of today being introduced to violence at such a young age. Games like Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto provide the necessary tools for young children to being their distrust towards law enforcement as well as their fascination with criminal behaviour. Video games are designed with the intention of reaching out to impressionable individuals who will open up their wallets, or the wallets of their parents, and payback into the industry.

Is Violence In Mass Media A Necessary Cathartic Outlet, Or An Unnecessary Influence?


Violence is everywhere around us, from the rise of the ISIS empire to the advent of school and college shootings and the continuous attacks on the LOC, violence has become a daily part of our lives and leads us to the question why it actually happens. Whenever I flip the pages of the newspaper, I see hundreds of articles on road rage which very much highlight the prevalence of these kinds of behaviors in different ways. The rise in fights was on a different high when I entered high school where people cheered instead of trying to stop the alteration altogether. It always made me wonder why people are getting so excited when they know people can be hurt. I saw the same thing happening in the movies I used to watch at that time.

Influence of Roy’s Theory on Guiding Nurse’s Actions

Influence of Roy’s Theory on Guiding Nurse’s Actions

Roy’s Adaptation Model is a theoretical framework nurses use to guide patient care. The model is based on adaptation, which suggests that individuals adapt to changes in their environment to maintain physiological and psychological well-being. The goal of nursing care within this model is to facilitate patient adaptation to changes in their health status, environment, and social circumstances. In the case of Sgt. Eddie Johns, Roy’s Theory can guide the nurse’s actions in promoting his adjusted self-concept (Clares et al., 2021). The first step in promoting Sgt. Johns’ adjusted self-concept is to assess his current level of functioning. The nurse can gather information about his past experiences, coping mechanisms, and support systems to determine how he adapts to his current situation.

Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child. Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that age.

Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment. NRS-434VN Topic 2: Health Assessment of the Toddler, Preschool, and School-Aged Child

Introduction

Pediatric physical examination techniques are some of the most valuable skills a health practitioner can have. Understanding a child’s psyche accounts for a safety assessment, patient satisfaction, and more precise results. Since the process of physical examination includes a socioemotional aspect, a healthcare professional needs to be considerate about a child’s needs in regards to the developmental stage that he or she is going through. This paper will explain how physical examination needs to be adjusted to better meet the needs of children between the ages of five and 12 and describe the case of a child patient in relation to developmental theories.

Health Assessment Of The Toddler, Preschool, And School-Aged Child – NRS-434VN Topic 2 Topic 2 DQ 1 Child abuse and maltreatment is not limited to a particular age—it can occur in the infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age years. Choose one of the four age groups and outline the types of abuse most commonly seen among children of that age. Describe warning signs and physical and emotional assessment findings the nurse may see that could indicate child abuse. Discuss cultural variations of health practices that can be misidentified as child abuse. Describe the reporting mechanism in your state and nurse responsibilities related to the reporting of suspected child abuse. Identify two factors that increase the vulnerability of a child for abuse in the age group you have selected.

Health Assessment Of The Toddler, Preschool, And School-Aged Child – NRS-434VN Topic 2

Child abuse and maltreatment can unfortunately affect children of various age groups, including infants. Among infants, the most commonly seen types of abuse are physical abuse and neglect. Physical abuse may manifest as unexplained bruises, fractures, or burns on the infant’s body although these injuries may not be consistent with the child’s developmental stage and are often located on areas less likely to be accidentally injured, such as the back, face, or genital area (McCoy & Keen, 2022). Neglect can take the form of inadequate feeding, clothing, or hygiene, leading to failure to thrive or significant developmental delays.

Health Assessment Of The Toddler, Preschool, And School-Aged Child – NRS-434VN Topic 2 Types of Child Abuse in Infants:

Physical abuse of infants typically involves intentional actions that cause physical harm or injury (Crosson-Tower, 2019). Common signs may include unexplained bruises, burns, fractures, or head injuries. Infants are especially susceptible to abusive head trauma (shaken baby syndrome), which can lead to severe brain injuries. Neglect involves the failure to provide for the infant’s basic needs, such as nutrition, hygiene, and supervision (Crosson-Tower, 2019). Neglected infants may exhibit failure to thrive, malnutrition, dehydration, poor hygiene, and delayed developmental milestones.

Health Assessment Of The Toddler, Preschool, And School-Aged Child – NRS-434VN Topic 2

Child abuse and maltreatment pose significant risks to children across various age groups, with preschool-aged children (3-6 years) being particularly vulnerable to different forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, and neglect. The preschool developmental stage is critical for establishing social and emotional skills, emphasizing the importance of identifying and addressing signs of maltreatment early on. In cases of physical abuse, preschoolers may display unexplained bruises, burns, or fractures. Caregivers offering inconsistent explanations for injuries, coupled with a child exhibiting fear or anxiety around specific individuals, serve as notable indicators. Emotional abuse in this age group involves a persistent undermining of a child’s self-worth, reflected in extreme behavioral changes, excessive aggression or withdrawal, and a noticeable lack of emotional attachment to caregivers. The Whole Child (2018) states that neglect, another concerning form of abuse, may manifest through poor hygiene, malnutrition, or inadequate supervision, resulting in delayed physical and emotional development. Early recognition of these signs is crucial for timely intervention to mitigate potential long-term consequences for the child’s well-bein

The Pathophysiology of Complications of Cystic Fibrosis

The Pathophysiology of Complications of Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis affects the breathing system when the abnormal cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein leads to the production of the sticky mucus that blocks the airways, making it difficult for gas exchange hence leading to lungs complications and damage of lungs tissues, which eventually may lead to chronic disorders (Ghanem et al., 2020). The pathophysiology of complications of cystic fibrosis can be compound and complicated, where it germinates from the building of thick mucus in some organs. Cystic fibrosis interferes with the digestive system where the thick and sticky mucus accumulates on the pancreas, making it challenging to produce the digestive juice which is crucial in dige

The Impact of Ethnicity on Pathophysiology of Alterations of Hepatic Disease

Ethnicity can have a significant impact on the pathophysiology of alterations in hepatic disease. Several studies have shown that hepatic disease’s prevalence, incidence, and severity vary significantly among different ethnic groups. For example, chronic hepatitis B is more prevalent in individuals of Asian descent than in other ethnic groups, and this may be due to differences in genetic susceptibility and viral strain variations (Krisztina et al. 358). Similarly, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is more common in individuals of Hispanic and South Asian descent, which may be due to differences in metabolic and genetic factors. In addition to differences in disease prevalence, ethnicity can also affect the clinical course and outcome of hepatic disease

The liver is a vital organ in the human body that performs many functions, including detoxification, synthesis of proteins, and metabolism of drugs and toxins. Hepatic function alteration can lead to various diseases, including liver failure, cirrhosis, and hepatitis. Genetics plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of hepatic disease, as specific genetic mutations can increase the risk of developing these conditions (José et al. 2). For instance, mutations in the HFE gene can result in hereditary hemochromatosis, a condition characterized by excessive iron accumulation in the liver and other organs.

The Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), and Gastritis Based on Age

The diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), and Gastritis can vary depending on the patient’s age. GERD is a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and damage to the lining of the esophagus. PUD is a condition with a sore or ulcer in the stomach lining or small intestine. Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. In younger patients, GERD is often diagnosed based on symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing (Fass et al., 2021). These symptoms are often caused by lifestyle factors such as eating large meals, consuming spicy or acidic foods, or being overweight. The diagnosis may be confirmed by an upper endoscopy, which allows the doctor to visualize the esophagus and stomach and check for any damage. In older patients,

Essay on Why Is College Important to Society

[ One of the greatest debates of our time is the topic of college education: specifically, who should go to college and how important it is to attend. O’Halloran (2018) states, “Given the crises that public higher education is currently facing, we are in desperate need of creative solutions” (p. 33). Some contend that too many people are going to college, while others believe not enough are going to college. Nemko (n.d.) reports that “According to the U.S. Department of Education, if you graduated in the bottom 40 percent of your high school class and went to college, 76 of 100 won’t earn a diploma, even if given 8 1/2 years” (para. 2). “Yet,” he reminds us, “colleges admit and take the money from hundreds of thousands of such students each year!” Murray

Introduction The significance of equality, diversity, and inclusion has become a priority in many organisations. Various researchers and scholars have defined diversity in numerous ways. Basically, diversity is all about how people or groups differ on gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, education, language, etc. (Hayles 1996). Equality pertains to fair treatment of all employees regardless of their gender, race, personality, culture, religion and sexual orientation, etc. Therefore, equality refers to the fair treatment of people from diverse backgrounds irrespective of their differences. Finally, inclusion involves creating and fostering a workplace environment where all employees feel valued, welcomed, and appreciated for their contribution to the organisation. Equality, diversity, and inclusion at the workplace provide several benefits. This paper seeks to explore five benefits that organisations gain from fostering Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). First, diversity plays a critical role in driving an organisation's bottom line since employees who feel supported by their bosses tend to be more productive, which positively impacts the organisation's profitability and performance. Fostering diversity and inclusion allows all employees to contribute their thoughts, ideas, skills, and talents, ultimately driving the firm's profitability. Drawing employees from diverse backgrounds could also help global firms to understand the laws, cultures, and norms, which helps the organisations to understand and cope with the local cultures, regulations, and consumer preferences. This enhances productivity and reduces the chances of making errors and wastes, which impact a company's bottom line. Secondly, diversity and inclusion increase knowledge transfer and foster group cohesion and culture, thus creating a conducive work environment. Knowledge transfer also paves the way for smooth function and interdepartmental coordination, improving the business operations. Moreover, an improvement in group cohesion and a positive group climate may help create a team culture and inclusion, improving the organisation's overall performance. In addition to these, equity, diversity, and inclusion help organisations to win the talent war. This refers to their ability to attract, retain, and form diverse demographic groups. The future of any organisation depends on its ability to attract and retain competent and highly skilled talents to sustain its competitive advantage. Therefore, firms should strive to optimise their human resources.Organisations that attract, train, retain and promote employees from diverse backgrounds are likely to achieve and sustain a competitive edge over their rivals. Equal and fair and invest their productivity with the organisation

NURS FPX 4000 Assessment 4 Analyzing a Current Health Care Problem or Issue Analyzing a Current Health Care Problem or Issue

Analysis

The problem of medical errors in healthcare is a pervasive issue characterized by preventable adverse events occurring during the delivery of medical care, resulting in harm to patients. These errors can manifest across various facets of healthcare, including misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, surgical errors, communication breakdowns, and healthcare-associated infections (Manias et al., 2020). Patients, who entrust their well-being to the healthcare system, bear the brunt of these errors. The gravity of the issue lies not only in the immediate harm caused but also in the erosion of patient trust in the healthcare system (Manias et al., 2020).

One of nurses’ many tasks includes medicating their patients around the clock. However, as seen in Assessment 2, patient safety can be severely compromised when medication errors occur. The rights of medication are in place for a reason, and when they are not followed, it directly impacts the patient. Medication errors occur for various reasons including knowledge-based mistakes, and personal factors such as burnout and fatigue. Nurses take an oath to cause no harm and are responsible for patients in their most vulnerable moments, therefore even the most experienced and most knowledgeable nurses, should take their time, and refer to the right of medication administration before every medication pass. This topic is of great importance to me as I am a new graduate nurse and though I am aware mistakes happen, I want to train myself to do everything in my power to prevent them. One of the first lessons taught in nursing school is the importance of patient safety, and medication errors compromise that core principle in health care. 

Elements of the Problem

Research demonstrates that medication errors continue stemming from factors such as the lack of knowledge about drugs being administered, as well as personal factors. Beginning with knowledge-based errors, nurses are required to demonstrate a certain level of competency within their specific unit and specialty. A medication should never be administered by a nurse without knowing what it does, the side effects it could cause, and should be aware of any contraindications.  Author Escrivá Garcia (2019) found that nurses that are responsible for critically ill patients with heavy workloads are not fully educated on the medications that they are ordered to administer. According to Escrivá Garcia (2019), a study done on a specific intensive care unit, was designed to ask nurses a multiple-choice style questionnaire based on medications that would pertain to their unit and everyday practice. The results demonstrated that more than half of the nurses that participated in the study, were unable to answer more than half of the questions. This alarming number compromises the patient’s safety and speaks against the values that nurses have took an oath to abide by.

Patients in critical care situations often suffer from medication errors more than patients on other units. Their acute state of being can often result in high-risk situations, requiring nurses to administer medications they may not be familiar with. Working in stressful, fast-paced situations can lead healthcare workers to rush, placing patients at an increased risk for errors. Areas such as the intensive care unit see many medication errors, as many of the causation factors become compiled, again compromising patient safety.

Drug administration is an integral part of nursing. Medication errors can be pernicious to a patient’s health. Medicines are prescribed by the doctor and dispensed by the pharmacist but the responsibility of current administration rests with the nurse. Each nurse is responsible for their practice. The result of medication errors varies from mild to deadly. Medication errors have been an ongoing issue in all healthcare settings. Healthcare organizations should ensure and maintain effective measures to prevent medication errors. 

According to National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Prevention and Analysis (NCCMERP,2021), a medication error is defined as “any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of a healthcare provider, patient or consumer”. Some of the factors associated with this cause are transcript errors, look -alike, sound -alike medication packages, and nurse- patient ratio. This assessment will expand upon mediation errors issue, analysis of the problem/issue, potential solutions for the problem, ethical considerations, and implementation of the solution. 

                     Elements of the Problem/Issue 

Medication errors can be detrimental to a patient’s health and they pose a serious threat to a patient’s safety. These errors can add significant harm or even death to patients. The data shows that in the United States more than 250,000 deaths per year are appertaining to medication errors (Dirik et.al, 2019). A medication error can increase the length of stay at the hospital and the cost of the treatment.
