Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the “morning after” headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day. Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They said they would find something for him to do once he could get around more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg today and give him a clearance to work.

• How would the use of the Roy Adaptation Model assist the nurse in planning the continuation of care for Sgt. Johns?
• Describe the influence of Roy’s Theory in guiding the nurse’s actions in promoting Sgt. Johns adjusted self-concept.
• From the perspective of the Roy Adaptation Model, why is it important for the nurse to listen to Sgt. Johns’ “story” in his own words and not just base her interactions on information from the chart, fellow colleagues, or his family?
• Based on Neuman System’s Model, identify at least 4 stressors from the case study. Create a plan of care based on Neuman Systems Model for Sgt. Johns.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many ways we normally communicate with the interprofessional team and patients.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, read more about this statement. Based on your investigation and understanding, answer the following questions:

·  How has communication with patients changed? Provide examples.

·  What are you doing to better communicate with patients?

·  How has communication among the interprofessional team changed?

·  What affect has this had on patient outcomes?

·  What needs to happen to make communication better?

As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Support your work, using your course lectures and textbook readings. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the  University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the  University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, as defined by the World Health Organization. Nationally, there is growing interest in preventing health problems and promoting behaviors that improve individual and community health. The challenge is to use what has been learned about effective strategies to prevent health adversities and to encourage the widespread and consistent practice of healthy behaviors.

Due to changing family conditions and numbers of students attending school with health problems, the traditional role of providing assessment and screening for all students has broadened to include a focus on the physical condition of younger students, as well as substance abuse, early pregnancy, and sexually transmitted disease among older students. School health encompasses a range of activities that promote and protect student health. (http://www.maine.gov/education/sh/contents/)

1. In your opinion how much responsibility should public schools take for the health of their students? 
2. Would you consider that public schools with a fairly strong and active health program are crossing over from the business of just an educator to that of a public health/health care provider? 
3. Who should pay for these additional services and programs for our children?
