Discussion Question

Healthcare policies impact all populations. Now, with the use of social media, policies involvement and awareness are rising.

1. Take a moment to review the Twitter feed for compelling Tweets that are related to healthcare policy and are directly impacting your community or those you care for.
2. Give an overview of a policy or potential policy. Include how it could impact your community or those you care for positively negatively.
3. Next, discuss the importance that interdisciplinary collaboration would have related to the policy.
4. Then, identify any ethical concerns it raises for you and why.
5. Compose a 280-character or fewer Tweet that describes what you have shared with the class. Remember Twitter only allows 280 characters (this include spaces, etc.) so you will need to be concise. It should include a hashtag. Include a reference URL if applicable. Share this Tweet in the discussion. (Note: A Twitter account is not required).
6. Your discussion post should look like:
   • Paragraph one: overview of the policy or potential policy. Include how it could impact your community or those you care for positively negatively.
   • Paragraph two: Discuss the importance that interdisciplinary collaboration would have related to the policy.
   • Paragraph three: Identify any ethical concerns it raises for you and why

Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.

Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy.

To Prepare:

• Review the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template provided in the Resources.
• Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.
• Review community, state, or federal policy evaluation and reflect on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program or policy described.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

Based on the program or policy evaluation you selected, complete the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe the healthcare program or policy outcomes.
• How was the success of the program or policy measured?
• How many people were reached by the program or policy selected?
• How much of an impact was realized with the program or policy selected?
• At what point in program implementation was the program or policy evaluation conducted?
• What data was used to conduct the program or policy evaluation?
• What specific information on unintended consequences was identified?
• What stakeholders were identified in the evaluation of the program or policy? Who would benefit most from the results and reporting of the program or policy evaluation? Be specific and provide examples.
• Did the program or policy meet the original intent and objectives? Why or why not?
• Would you recommend implementing this program or policy in your place of work? Why or why not?
• Identify at least two ways that you, as a nurse advocate, could become involved in evaluating a program or policy after 1 year of implementation.

 

his week we discuss legal punishment and what type of crimes, if any, should be punishable by death.

Please answer any two of the following three questions:

[1] Is the death penalty appropriate for the sexual assault of a minor?  Why or why not?  And what about the death sentence for the killing of police officers or other public figures? 

[2] Do you think it is right to release the man John Hinkley Jr. from the mental hospital that his held him for some 35 years?  In 1981, John Hinkley Jr. shot President Ronald Reagan in an attempt to assassinate the President?  Why should he or should he not be released now?  For a news video on the case, see: LINK (Links to an external site.)

[3] What about the death sentence for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bomber found guilty in court for the act of planning and executing terrorism in Boston?  The Jury sentenced Tsarnaev to death.  The death sentence has been appealed by his lawyers.   What would your sentence be and why?   News item on the case: LINK

Substance abuse in health care professionals

In a 2- to 4-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

• Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
• Who is your target population?
• What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
• What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?
• What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?
• Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?

CASE STUDY 

Individuals and a Family as a Client 

Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two children and the daughter of two aging parents in the southeastern United States. She and her children have recently relocated from an urban neighborhood to a rural town to care for her parents, Robert and Susan. The move involved a job change for Elizabeth, a change in schools for the children, and an increased distance from the family of the children’s deceased father. Mila’s older child is a 5-year-old daughter, recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia. The younger of the two children is a 3-year-old boy with asthma that has been difficult to control since the move. Robert is a 72-year-old Methodist minister who recently suffered a stroke, leaving him with diminished motor function on his left side and difficulty swallowing. Susan is 68 years old and suffers from fibromyalgia, limiting her ability to assist with the daily care of her husband. She has experienced an increase in generalized pain, difficulty sleeping, and worsening fatigue since her husband’s stroke. 

Use the Neuman systems model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following: 

• Describe the Jefferies family as a client I system using each of the five variables. 

• What actual and potential stressors threaten the family? Which stressors are positive, and which are negative? Separate the actual and potential stressors that threaten the individual members of the family. Which of the stressors are positive, and which are negative? 

• What additional nursing assessment data are needed considering Robert’s medical diagnoses? What additional data would be helpful for Susan’s medical diagnoses? What about each of the children? 

• What levels of prevention intervention(s) are appropriate for the Jefferies family? Propose potential prevention intervention(s) for each member of the family. 

• Identify your nursing priorities if you were providing care to this family.
