Think of an example you’ve seen in practice that exemplifies some of the principles of chaos theory, complexity science or paradexity?  How does the theory explain what happened?

Please use the attached file as one of the references.

Nurses are often portrayed in films and television. From Nurse Ratched in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, to Julia Baker in Julia, and Gaylord “Greg” Focker in Meet the Parents, nurses have been portrayed showing various traits. Some are positive, while others are less than caring. For each, the five elements of emotional intelligence, 1) self-awareness, 2) self-regulation, 3) motivation, 4) empathy, and 5) social skills, are expressed at different levels. Select a nurse archetype portrayed in films or on television and consider the following.

· What features of emotional intelligence does your selected nurse portray? What features are they lacking? Provide an example to support your rationale.

· If you were the nurse’s leader, how would use your change agent characteristics to support that individual’s growth? Provide specific examples using scenarios from the setting from which the nurse is portrayed.

· How does complexity theory or chaos theory influence the organization in which the nurse is portrayed? Provide specific examples to support your rationale.

Community Assessment

powerpoint presentation (100 points)

The purpose of this assignment is for you to conduct a community assessment and create a powerpoint presentation of your findings.

• Analyze your county’s data for populations at risk
• Compare your county’s risks to HP 2030 goals
• Assess youth risk using the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)
• Recommend a MN PH intervention to promote health outcomes in this population.

Imagine you are your county’s new Public Health Nursing director, and you are conducting a community assessment. The ppt you will create is for a presentation to your community’s political leaders, concerned citizens, school parents.

The below video covers Slides 0 – 6. (Hover over top right corner of slide to ‘pop-out’ full screen.)

• median household income,
• % living in poverty,
• % High school and % Bachelor education,
• % of total population > 16 y/o employed,
• a map (image) showing where in the state your county is situated.

Slide 2 : Two (2) positive health indicators

Link to the following website to learn about county health rankings. (Links to an external site.) Enter your community’s county and state : Click on your state, > Compare Counties” > Review your county’s health outcomes.

1. Compare your county’s health outcomes and health indicators to your (a) state and the (b) US top performers in the table (you’ll see US and state comparisons with your county).

Select Two (2) positive health indicators (i.e. county has less smoking, or, fewer premature deaths than state and national average. ) If your county has not positive health indicates, state this.

• Provide descriptions of each (positive) health indicator (found on county healthranksing.org website > click on blue health indicator link).
• Provide 2-3 sentence comparing the positive indicators, as they relate to the state and US.
• If none of the indicators are ‘positive, choose the best of the worst.

Slides 3 & 4: Concerning Health Outcomes

Select four (4) of your community’s most concerning (troubling) health indicators that are worse than the state and US. Choose from among the health, social or economic indicators. (i.e., see ppt table to use).

• Provide a description of each of the four (4) indicators (link on ‘blue’ health indicators in County Health Rankings table that will take you to definitions and descriptions for each.)
• Provide thorough comparison (2-3 sentence) of each (negative) health indicator as compared to the State and US top performer.

Slide 5: Most Urgent Indicator

Analysis of Most Urgent Indicator: From these four (4) concerning health indicators you selected for your community,

• Choose the one most urgent indicator that pertains to teens (population of interest). Explain why, of the 4 problem health indicators you report, you believe this one is the most urgent.

Slide 6: Healthy People 2030

• Link here for an introduction video on HP 2020 (by Dr. Hobby). (Links to an external site.)
• Which Healthy People 2030 goal /objective (one) does this problem health indicator address? Link here for HP 2030 goals and objectives (Links to an external site.) (i.e. once you’re on the HP 2030 home page, > Objectives & Data > Browse Objectives > i.e., for Overweight and Obesity > ‘Reduce the proportion of…’..-NWS-04. 
• Briefly define and summarize the goal. i(.e., paraphrase this from the NWS-04 summary:Many children and adolescents in the United States have obesity. Obesity is linked to a higher risk for diseases and conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, anxiety, and depression. In addition, children with obesity are more likely to be bullied and to have obesity as adults…
• Identify the best objective for your priority (i.e. in above example, one objective might be: “Reduce the proportion of children & adolescents with obesity – NWS-04″ ).
• Identify the baseline (i.e., 17.8 percent of children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years had obesity in 2013-16).
• Identify the 2030 target (i.e., 15.5 percent).

To do for Slide 7:

• Insert screenshot of YRBS table.
• Discuss the relationship between your urgent indicator, HP 2030 objective, and the state’s YRBS survey findings.
• Support your YRBS findings with the urgent indicator.

Slide 8: PH Intervention for YRBS findings:

Think of a PH Intervention you recommend as the next step to promote (for example) physical activity opportunities for the students.

1. Name the (a) specific MN PH intervention you recommend. (b) What level the intervention is (Systems, community, individual/family)? (c) Define the intervention.

Public Health intervention definitions (PDF) (Links to an external site.)

(i.e. Say your state’s high schoolers had a low physical activity rate. A PHN might choose: Community Organizing as the MN PH intervention at the Community level: i.e. The slide recommendation is:

• The PHN will organize a planning meeting with interested stakeholders to discuss active, fun activities for students (the recommended intervention).
  • “the process by which people come together to identify common problems or goals, mobilize resources, and develop and implement strategies for reaching the objectives they want to accomplish” (Center for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas, 2017).The PH intervention level is community-level, and the PH intervention is community organizing. Community organizing is defined as:

Slide 9: SMART Plan:

Good public health practice requires strong objectives in order to monitor progress toward achieving goals and outcomes. Define a simple SMART intervention plan. Review the following pdf file that briefly explains how to write this. For examples, scroll down the page to a table: Download this pdf: How to write SMART objectives

Actions

Define your intervention as: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-limited. State your plan as a SMART plan: (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-scaled) in 2-3 sentences. i.e.,

• (Specific): A committee will be formed to include to include the school’s principal, PE teacher, student body president, parent organization president, resource officer, transportation official, Chamber of Commerce representative, and Public Health RN. The Committee will meet monthly to create a 5K fun run during the spring.
• (Measurable): Two race starts: one for walkers, and, one for runners. Participants will be counted.
• (Achievable): All race expenses will be paid by volunteer donations from local business sponsors.
• (Realistic): Coaches, PHN, and volunteers will define and monitor a 5K route around the school neighborhood.
• (Time-scaled): it will be on a Saturday morning in Spring 2021.

The purpose of the assignment is for you to provide a critical analysis of the reading.

What this means is that you will present what, in your opinion, are the strengths and

weaknesses of the book. Keep in mind that your audience has some knowledge of U.S. history.

Imagine that you are a public health nurse, and you and your colleagues  have determined that the threat of a deadly new strain of influenza  indicates a need for a mass inoculation program in your community. What  public health data would have been used to determine the need for such a  program? Where would you locate public health data? What data will be  collected to determine the success of such a program? How might you  communicate this to other communities or internationally?

A patient has been coming into a clinic for the last 5 years. His medical history includes DM type II, hypertension, and obesity.  Previously his blood sugars and blood pressures were well controlled with diet, exercise, and antihypertensive.  However in the last 2 years, the patient has had uncontrolled blood sugars, and his blood pressure is consistently in the severe range, regardless of how medications are prescribed.  You are assigned to this patient, and on entry to the clinic the patient looks to be sad, and disheveled. 

While taking the patient’s vital signs, the patient shares with the nurse that “this medical stuff is just too hard, my wife use to take care of it for me, but she died two years ago, and now I just don’t understand it all.”  As a nurse, you use your therapeutic communication with the patient and find that he has not been taking his medications as ordered, and has not been reading food labels on how to eat a healthy diet.  The patient states again,  “Well my wife always did all that stuff for me, she took care of the bills, and all of the documents, and all that stuff, and now I just don’t know what to do anymore.” After further questioning, you find that the patient is not able to read more than just a few words, and had been “non-compliant” because he hasn’t been able to read his medication labels and by extension doesn’t know how to read nutrition labels.  

What can you do for this patient?  What types of patient teaching would be useful for this patient? What resources could you use in his care? Write a nursing diagnosis for this patient, and create a teaching plan for this patient, including expected learning outcomes for this patient.
