After reviewing the Healthy People 2020 topics and objectives for some, I have identified objectives that are amenable to parish nurse intervention. First and foremost, faith communities can contribute to the accomplishment of these objectives and accomplish the goal of improving the health of the public by integrating body, mind, and spirit, offering a way to promote health, healing, and wellness of the individuals, families, and communities (Pappas-Rogich & King, 2014). Florence Nightingale first showed the need for nursing to honor the psychological and spiritual aspects to help promote health, but the 19th and 20th centuries have shown health care to be more concerned with curing illness and providing medically prescribed treatment instead (Pappas-Rogich & King, 2014). Faith community nursing (FCN) assists families to become more engaged participants in the care of personal and communal resources (Pappas-Rogich & King, 2014). There has been evidence to show church-based programs have formed great impacts on varieties of health behaviors, especially in the range of nutrition and physical activity and have had greater lasting effects on individuals that make a change by linking it between healthy behavior and taking care of God’s child (Pappas-Rogich & King, 2014). These health messages and activities can then be shared with friends, family, and even social media that may help reach greater populations and have a positive effect towards improving health. The trust between community nurses and parish nurses within the community can help develop partnerships to obtain these goals.

In this week’s lecture we continue to learn about the nursing profession. Likewise, we focused on several specialty areas in nursing as they relate the progression of healthcare. In this week’s discussion I’ll focus on the role different health departments play in healthcare. Programs in public health have become an essential component in healthcare as it has show to improve the health of a population (Lancaster, M, J 2020). Corresponding my local and state health department, have a major role when it comes to establishing health promotion. In my current state, the health department is known as the Pennsylvania Department of Health. My states department of health plays a role in health promotion by promoting healthy lifestyle habits, education on disease prevention, and ensuring that the community has access to receive quality care in the state of Pennsylvania (Department of Health, 2020).

The goal of Health People 2020, it to promote healthy living amongst people of all ages. By having public health nurses, my local health departments is able to educate the community on risk factors associated with various diseases, offer health screenings, and education and resources to maintain a health life. In addition, federal public health departments create reforms to establish funding for activities pertaining to public health, so that the community can achieve quality living as a whole (Lancaster, M, J, 2020).  Public health nurses can patients change unhealthy habits at the primary prevention level by offering immunizations and local sports teams for the community. Likewise public health nurses can also promote health behaviors by conduction community clinics that offer health screenings such a blood pressure readings (Ali & Katz, 2015). Ultimately, it is our job as a community to preserve our environment, actively participate in exercise, and maintain a good nutrition because it will allow us to improve the world of healthcare as a community.

Week 5

This week discussion involves a 37-year-old European female seen in the clinic for frequent and watery bowel movements for three days.  The patient has no prior medical history besides an appendectomy at the age of 14. Blood pressure is elevated, and she denies taking any home medications.  There can be many causes that leads up to loose stools.  Your diet, medications, chronic conditions, etc. Loose stools often occur after eating but can also happen at other points in the day. When loose stools occur consecutively on multiple occasions throughout a day, this is described as diarrhea.

This female appears normal and overall healthy.  Sometimes, the body can have problems digesting certain types of sugars, such as  alcohol and lactose (Rhodes, 2021). The subjective data that I would obtain will be: Prior to the three days, how often do you have bowel movements? What form did the bowel movements appear, for example, hard, soft, formed or loose? What did you eat differently this week than normal? Did you take any over the counter medications? If so, what did you take?

            The objective findings that I would look for is already displayed in assessment such as good skin turgor, active bowel sounds, moist mucus membranes, no cyanosis, etc. The diagnosis test that I would order will be a KUB, A kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) X-ray may be performed to assess the abdominal area for causes of abdominal pain, or to assess the organs and structures of the urinary and/or gastrointestinal (GI) system.  A stool sample will be collected to test for bacterium or parasite.

Furthermore, the diagnosis that the patient can possibly have is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis or food poisoning. IBS occurs when a properly functioning immune system attacks foreign organisms, such as viruses and bacteria, to protect the body. The cause is unknown. To rule out IBS, combination of endoscopy or colonoscopy, and imaging studies, such as contrast radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) will be used (CDC, 2014).

 Chronic causes of colitis include inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.  Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic condition causing inflammation in the colon and rectum. People with UC often experience loose stools and diarrhea. Other symptoms of UC include abdominal pain, frequent bowel movements, fatigue, appetite and weight loss. While ulcerative colitis is not caused by the foods you eat, you may find that once you have the disease, particular foods can aggravate the symptoms. It’s important to maintain a healthy and soothing diet that helps reduce your symptoms, replace lost nutrients, and promote healing (CDC, 2014). Loose stools can also be caused by diets high in alcohol rich and spicy foods, coffee and magnesium.

Food poisoning invades the body with Viruses, bacteria or parasites can cause inflammation in the stomach and intestines. This can cause loose stools and diarrhea, along with other symptoms including abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea (Kornbluth, 2010). When someone is assessed with frequent diarrhea, we tend to draw labs and evaluate their electrolytes to ensure nothing is abnormal. If hospitalized, fluids will be administered. Broad spectrum antibiotics will be started, and blood cultures will be obtained.
