• Relate the three levels of prevention to the health of infants and at-risk women in your community.
• Describe how a prevention program could positively impact specific risk factors for the health of women and infants in your community.

Identify multidimensional nursing care strategies for clients with reproductive system disorders.

Scenario

You work in a gynecological office, and your office has been asked to participate in a women’s health fair. The focus of the fair is health promotion. Preventative screening for female reproductive disorders is vital to identify and treat rapidly to produce the best patient outcomes. Preventative screening includes mammogram and Pap smear and should be performed based on recommended age and associated risk factors. To promote preventative screening, your office will be creating brochures to distribute at the health fair.

Instructions

Design a women’s health brochure by choosing one of the female reproductive disorders covered in this module. In the brochure, include the following:

• Overview of the disease including disease process, signs and symptoms, and risk factors
• Preventative screening
• Diagnostics tests
• Treatment
• Multidimensional nursing care interventions

Directions:

Read the two case summaries provided here. The case summaries are on page 2. Once you read the two case summaries, follow the instructions below.

Initial Post

Scenario

Your local library has decided to hang artwork in its lobby. You volunteer at the library and heard that the director of the library plans to go to the mall and buy artwork off the shelf in a home decor store to decorate the walls.

You are outraged, and feel that the library presents an ideal space for more meaningful public displays. After all, your town has such a rich and interesting history, and there are some artists and craftspeople living in the area. You decide to approach the City Council Chair to voice your concerns, but he informs you that the library is on a tight budget, and he doesn’t see the need to spend too much of tax payers money on “decorations.”

You now plan to attend the next City Council meeting to convince the town to do more with the exhibiting space at the library, and that it doesn’t have to be expensive if the displays are cultivated from regional resources.

Instructions

For this assignment, you may use your current location, or pick another American city.

· List five significant creations in your city/town, such as buildings in different styles of architecture, bridges, and public art. Include the year each item was created.

· Arrange the chosen creations in chronological order, along with names of their creators.

· Explain the major styles/periods in art to which each of the five creations/selections relate. Include your rationale for your selection.

· Identify three additional local creative residents from the past and present, whose work could potentially be displayed at the library. List the forms of art for which they are known.

· Your timeline should be printable so that it can be distributed to City Council members and attendees at the meeting. Use the timeline templates found under the Insert tab to create a printable timeline.

· Clearly label your chosen location.

NOTE – Be sure the documents display proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure.

Student Success Criteria

View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane.

Scenario

Each of us has directly or indirectly been impacted by a natural disaster or severe weather event. For this assignment you will be required to recall a personal, real-world experience about the power of one of the Earth’s four spheres that you have experienced in your lifetime, creating a mixed media PowerPoint presentation that brings this event to life. The goal is to illustrate the interconnectedness of the Earth’s four spheres to human health and safety, to the current state of our climate, and to the mitigation of such disasters in the future as the consequences of climate change continue to worsen.

Instructions

In a well-organized presentation using PowerPoint, you will construct a visual presentation that illustrates the power of a natural disaster/geologic event in history from the standpoint of a personal experience. Consider a time in your life when you have been impacted, either directly or indirectly, by a natural disaster or severe weather event. 

Your presentation should include the following elements as well as a robust discussion of each in the slides’ speaker notes section:

· Discuss background, history, and location of your chosen event/disaster. (Where did this event occur? How many people were impacted by this event?)

· Specify measures taken to mitigate the event/disaster. (What was the response of the community/state/country to this event?)

· Discuss how we might mitigate a similar event/disaster in the future. (How can we mitigate disasters to more fully protect human health and safety?)

· Be sure to include images/maps/statistical information from your chosen event/disaster.

Write an analysis, 4-5 pages in length, of the gap between current and desired performance, with respect to the provision of safe, high-quality patient care.
Introduction
As a nurse leader, you must be able to assess your organization’s ability to deliver safe, high-quality patient care. In so doing, you may be required to perform a gap analysis of a quality or safety issue as the first step in improving outcomes. Failure to meet benchmarks for safe and effective patient care can have reimbursement, regulatory, and legal consequences.
This assessment provides an opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to successfully implement changes that improve patient outcomes by:

In so doing, you may be required to perform a gap analysis of a quality or safety issue as the first step in improving outcomes. Failure to meet benchmarks for safe and effective patient care can have reimbursement, regulatory, and legal consequences.
This assessment provides an opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to successfully implement changes that improve patient outcomes by:

• Evaluating the current culture of an organization.
• Performing an outcomes gap analysis.
• Determining what changes are needed to bridge the gap.
• Examining current thinking on this topic contained in the literature.
• Quality and safety are everyone’s responsibility as a team of interprofessional care delivery partners. Together we develop policies that support quality and safe care delivery. As part of the interprofessional team, nurses are leaders in care and thus are responsible and accountable for leading and providing safe quality care.
  Health care delivery is structured around evidenced-based information. Quality is defined by exploring proven, evidenced-based information. After reviewing and defining evidenced-based information, the interprofessional team applies this knowledge to assess the organization’s or the practice setting’s ability to provide evidenced-based care delivery. When a gap in care is identified, it is important to propose an evidenced-based change and to execute a plan for improved care.
  
  Preparation
  As a nurse leader, you are fully aware of the hazardous nature of health care and that organizations must continually seek to improve the quality and safety of the care they provide to patients. For this assessment, you will identify a systemic problem in your organization, practice setting, or area of interest associated with adverse quality and safety outcomes (for example, an increase in the incidence of falls or medical errors) and analyze the gap between current and desired performance.
  As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
  Culture and process contribute to our ability to develop and sustain quality and safety in a health care organization. By exploring these topics, you can analyze where you may have gaps in practice that affect outcomes. In addition, organizations must create benchmarks for outcomes to determine whether they are meeting quality and safety goals.
• What does your organization measure, related to quality and safety, and why?
• Are there certain aspects of your organization’s culture and processes that support or hinder quality and safety?
• Is the organization meeting outcome measurement benchmarks?
• If not, how might you address those gaps in performance? What system could be developed to support a change to close a particular gap?
• The following resources are required to complete the assessment.
•  a systemic problem in your organization, practice setting, or area of interest that contributes to adverse quality and safety outcomes.
• Propose specific practice changes that will improve quality and safety outcomes and bridge the gap between current and desired performance.
• Prioritize proposed practice changes.
• Determine how proposed practice changes will foster a culture of quality and safety.
• Determine how a particular organizational culture or hierarchy might affect quality and safety outcomes.
• Justify necessary changes with respect to functions, processes, or behaviors, specific to your organization.
• Supporting Evidence
• Communicate analysis data and information clearly and accurately, using correct grammar and mechanics.
• Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
• Additional Requirements
  Format your document using APA style.
