Please answer the following Discussion Question. Please be certain to answer the three questions on this week DQ and to provide a well-developed and complete answer to receive credit. Also, please ensure to have read the assigned chapters for the current week. 

Case Study, Chapter 14, Medical Errors: An Ongoing Threat to Quality Health CareA nurse manager is reviewing occurrence reports of medical errors over the last six months. The nurse manager knows that medical errors are not the only indicator of quality of care. They are, however, a pervasive problem in the current health care system and one of the greatest threats to quality health care. The nurse manager is putting together a list of possible solutions to decrease the number of occurrences of medication errors.

1. Recognizing that health care errors affect at least one in every 10 patients around the world, the World Health Organization’s World Alliance for Patient Safety and the Collaborating Centre identified priority program areas related to patient safety. What are the patient safety program areas the nurse manager should consider for implementation?

2. Describe the Joint Commission 2017 National Patient Safety Goals for Hospitals.

3. Discuss the Institute of Medicine’s four-pronged approach to reducing medical mistakes?

This week, you will create an educational item about dangerous drug interactions. Choose two drugs from different categories of drugs that we have studied thus far in the course that can have a dangerous reaction if taken incorrectly. Research the drugs’ interactions with other drugs, including OTC medications, and alcohol. Please note that you may not choose the same drug that you are using for your medication research paper for this assignment.

For this assignment:

1. Create an educational item that describes/displays the dangers associated with the chosen drugs.
2. This educational item can be in any format, so be creative. For example, you can create a pamphlet/brochure, a flyer, an infographic, a newsletter, etc. (at least one page)
3. Also include a one page summary as to why you chose the drugs and how you would use this educational item in practice. Make sure to cite your sources using APA formatting. You should include at least two scholarly sources.

Websites with free software for building creative items that you can then download as a PDF:

Note: WCU is not responsible for these websites. You do not have to use any of them; this is only a list to provide options. You can use any software you have available in which you are most comfortable and can be downloaded as a PDF for assignment submission.

 Presents a solid analysis on how to educate the community on dangerous drug interactions, taking into consideration technology and language barriers. Includes a detailed plan on how to use the educational item in practice. 

 The visual aid submitted represents a thorough understanding of the dangerous drug interaction education plan. 

Evidence translation begins with the identification of a problem or concern. Reflect upon the eight national practice problems presented in the Global Burden of Disease Research. Select one of the practice problems to address the following.

1- From a global/nationwide perspective, how does the selected practice problem impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided?

2- Identify the national level key stakeholders who are affected by the practice problem and stakeholders involved in resolution.

3-Are clinical practice guidelines used to address this problem? Why or why not? If used, provide a brief overview of the CPG. If a CPG is not used, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a national scale to address the problem.

Please answer these questions separated and use at least 3 sources no later than 5 years and you can use the sources below.

Discussion 8.2: State Health Department 

Find the website for your state department of health and immunization registry. Think about the type of diseases reportable for your state.  Post a summary of how a health care information system would be useful in collecting and reporting the data. Would you consider this to be primary or secondary data? Explain your reasoning. My state is Columbus, Georgia

APA STYLE!!! PLEASE NOT PLAGIARISM!!!

Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include the following:

1. Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
2. What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
3. Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
4. What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?
5. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
6. What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and public health content.

Some of the revisions require:

Page 2. “You cannot do this. I have gone over this a few times with you. You MUST write something under the level one header before you go to a level two header. I suggest you write out your supporting argument under “Supporting position. What is your argument? How does technology support healthcare as an American right and not a privilege? Spell it out here. This should be about a page. Then go into ethical theory and principles. However, I suggest you do a level two header for each principle and your theory.”

Page 11. “this needs to be completely revised. Again, remove “Technology can Create Risks” and move that section up to go under “Opposing Position” then at the end have a level tow header that reads “Utilitarian Theory” and elaborate on it. Then you need two ethical principles. What are they? Pleasure and happiness are NOT ethical principles. Please refer to your text book. You need two ethical principles for this section to receive the points and you need to write at least a paragraph on each”
