Discussion Questions:
Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link “Doing Discussion Questions Right” and any specific instructions for this topic.
Before the end of the week, begin commenting on at least two of your classmates’ and instructor responses. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Submit your responses in the Discussion Area. Complete this discussion in a 150–300 word response.
Healthcare Diversity
The concept of healthcare diversity extends beyond cultural, racial, and religious personal identity. Healthcare professionals need to develop the ability to understand the extent of individual differences commonly referred to as diversity. The differences must be recognized, but to what extent is the healthcare provider’s obligation to accommodate? It must also be recognized that some cultures from around the globe view sickness through a different lens and are accustomed to different healthcare approaches and outcomes. Finally, the spectrum of diversity must be recognized as ranging from race and religion to amputee or the hearing impaired.
Based on your readings and research, answer the following:
What is the best approach to understanding diversity and why?
To what extent should the healthcare organization/professional accommodate?
Do you believe there are specific categories of diversity that must be recognized? What are they and why?
Do you believe the difference in defining diversity is within the lived experience of the patient?

Purpose
Opinion Editorials (Op-Eds) often address interesting, popular, or new issues. Readers can learn something new and important in about 750 words. Op-Eds typically appear in newspapers or other news outlets and are written for a specific audience and the writer chooses the audience that they want to address (usually the readership of the particular newspaper…think The Crimson White). A few examples could be your hometown newspaper (addressing your community) or the university newspaper (addressing your university community or the Greek community. Published Op-Eds are potentially read by hundreds, thousands, or even millions of readers.
Op-Eds often begin with a hook opening that grabs the reader’s attention very quickly. Since Op Eds are short, they are super focused and the writer must get to the point very quickly. If I asked you to verbally explain the purpose of your Op-Ed, you should be able to explain in 1-2 sentences. Op-Eds have a clearly defined point of view, as they are opinion editorials, but your opinion must be supported by data (figures, facts, statistics, etc.). Aim for 80% new information (data) and 20% opinion.
Your Op Ed should be persuasive and make it clear why people should care about your topic, and your personal voice should come through in your writing style. To strengthen your position and enhance your credibility, you should address the opposing side’s (or sides’) strongest argument against your position. 
You must also provide specific recommendations on how to go about addressing the problem. Be as specific as you can. Funding naloxone programs? Expanding Medicaid so people have access to substance use treatment? Providing mental health support for students so they reduce or stop Adderall misuse? Whatever you suggest, keep in mind the social determinants and the role of decriminalization if applicable. What social conditions are contributing to the problem you’re addressing? How can we solve for those? We’ve learned all semester about how prohibition and criminalization (e.g., war on drugs) makes these problems significantly worse. How do we keep people as safe as possible, respect their bodily autonomy and reduce stigma? Pretend you have a magic wand and you suddenly have the power/funding to make some BIG changes. Support your position with 3 peer-reviewed articles (e.g., studies that have tested interventions, articles that make policy recommendations, etc). 
Choose a Topic
A few ideas are below. Remember, your topic must be related to substance use. You may base it on your representative letter or choose a new topic. However, if you base it on your representative letter, you may notuse the exact same text again. 
•       Alcohol misuse among college students
•       ADHD drug misuse among college students (Adderall for example)
•       Vaping among high school or college students
•       E-cigarette taxes/bans
•       Removing police from psychiatric & substance use-related calls
•       Substance use-related stigma
•       Mental health, pandemic, substance misuse
•       Opioid epidemic overlooking communities of color
•       Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expansion, access to substance use treatment
•       Marijuana legalization, medical marijuana
•       Decriminalization
•       Harm reduction (naloxone, needle exchange, overdose prevention sites)

The unit learning map gives you some examples of different fractures that can occur in bones. Use this or an outside source to research a type of fracture and follow the below instructions. Pick a fracture unique from your peers.
Instructions:
Identify the fracture type you will be discussing and describe the fracture.  
Discuss the following ideas if they apply to your chosen fracture:
What bone is it common in?
Why it is named or classified as it is?
Explain the mechanism of injury that it may result from.
For example, is it more common to occur due to trauma, due to a deficiency of a nutrient, metabolic disease, or another mechanism?
What is the common treatment of this type of fracture? Include any recommendations for nutritional support for bone health.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

The overview of the course “Curriculum Development in Nursing” as interpreted by the given chapters, is an introduction to the evolution of curriculum/education and development involved in the field of nursing. Many historical situations have catalyzed change in the field of nursing, and the education required to enter the field. The Civil War was one of the historical situations that began the necessity for nurses. Subsequent wars have initiated more need for nursing practice, which stimulated the concept of curriculum development and education in the nursing profession. The goals of a curriculum are to facilitate a learning process amongst students, and to develop confidence within themselves to competently perform in the healthcare setting (Wright & Woskinski, 2017). “Curriculum change is not a choice but a requirement, given the magnitude, pace, and intensity of change within the health care arena. Science and technology advancements, national and international events, increasing diversity of the US population, the advent of e-learning, professional priorities, the school’s mission, and faculty values require nurse educators to continually develop and implement relevant curricula,” (Billings & Halstead, 2019.)
Nursing education and curriculum development have evolved as historical events have arisen, requiring a closer look into the training and education given to nurses. “The need for change in nursing education can be prodigious and dynamic with an emphasis on evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety standards, leadership, competency frameworks, health care technology, and inter professional education,” (Keating & DeBoor, 2018). A recent historical global health issue, the COVID-19 pandemic, has caused evolution in curriculum development and practice, with an emphasis on using technology for education.  Technology is also responsible, in part, for how educators have changed their approach to learning in the face-to-face classroom. “Educators increasingly are using the “flipped classroom” model to integrate the use of online resources with face-to-face class meetings as a way to teach foundational or knowledge-based content before a a face-to-face class meeting,” (Billings & Halstead, 2019). This utilization of technology in the academic setting is a method that is likely to continue into the foreseeable future. 
As society continues to undergo changes and growth, curriculum development and education must follow along closely. The study of medicine changes on a rapid basis, as new advancements come to light frequently. Educating the future of nurses requires continuous updates to curriculum, while maintaining fundamental principles that have remained relevant in nursing practice. The overview of this course is to outline historical development in the curriculum of nursing education, and to educate on the factors involved in updating nursing education curriculum.
