  • “Addressing Obesity: A Health Promotion Plan for a Fictitious Community” “SMART Strategies for Addressing Obesity: A Health Promotion Plan”

    Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the
    hypothetical health promotion plan for obesity.
    Introduction:
    You
    will resume the community nurse role tasked with addressing your community’s specific health concern. This time, you will present, via educational
    outreach, the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in Assessment 1
    to your fictitious audience. In this hypothetical scenario, you will simulate
    the presentation as though it would be live and face-to-face. You must
    determine an effective teaching strategy, communicate the plan with
    professionalism and cultural sensitivity, evaluate the plan’s objectives,
    revise the plan as applicable, and propose improvements for future educational
    sessions. To engage your audience, you decide to develop a PowerPoint
    presentation with voice-over and speaker notes to communicate your plan.
    Instruction:
    Complete the following:
    ·       
    Prepare a 10–13 slide
    PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker notes that reflect your
    hypothetical presentation. This presentation is the implementation of the teaching plan for obesity created in Assessment 1. (see the attached Paper)
    The speaker notes should be well organized. Be
    sure to include a transcript. The transcript can be submitted on a separate
    Word document with proper APA citation.
    ·       
    Simulate the
    hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern (Obesity)
    and health goals of your selected community individual or group.
    ·       
    Imagine collaborating
    with the hypothetical participant(s) to set goals (using SMART goal setting with specific examples) for the session, evaluate session outcomes, and suggest possible revisions to improve
    future sessions.
    Presentation Format and Outline:
    Use Microsoft PowerPoint 
    context
    Nurses provide accurate, evidence-based information and
    education in formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based
    practice to promote health and disease prevention activities and create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining
    community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people
    demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce
    readmissions. They can better tolerate stressors, including environmental
    changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient
    community is safer (Flanders, 2018; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

  • Title: Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan for Reducing Medication Errors in a Hospital Setting Introduction Patient safety is a critical aspect of healthcare, and medication errors are a major concern for healthcare organizations. According to the World Health Organization

    For this assessment, you can use a supplied template to conduct a root-cause analysis. The completed assessment will be a scholarly paper focusing on a quality or safety issue in a health care setting of your choice as well as a safety improvement plan.
    Scenario
    For this assessment, use the specific safety concern identified in your previous assessment as the subject of a root-cause analysis and safety improvement plan
    Instructions
    The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of and ability to analyze a root cause of a specific safety concern in a health care setting. You will create a plan to improve the safety of patients related to the safety quality issue presented in your Assessment Supplement PDF in Assessment 1. Based on the results of your analysis, using the literature and professional best practices as well as the existing resources at your chosen health care setting, provide a rationale for your plan.
    Use the Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan [DOCX] Download Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan [DOCX]template to help you to stay organized and concise. This will guide you step-by-step through the root cause analysis process.
    Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

  • “The Ethical Dilemma of Nursing Staffing: Balancing Nonmaleficence and Patient Safety”

    Nursing staffing have become a topic of debate due to concerns relating
    to patient safety, quality of care, the workforce and financial costs.
    Particularly, there has been a major decline in number of people entering the
    nursing field as well as an issue due to stress, burnout and job discontent
    which has caused many registered nurses to quit. Poor nursing staffing has
    shown numerous adverse outcomes in hospital settings such as falls, infections
    and pressure ulcers.
    When nurse staffing is insufficient, the ability to perform morally is
    called into question. The ethical principle under discussion is nonmaleficence,
    which involves nurses to behave in such a way that patients are not harmed (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2002).

  • “Building on the Assessment and Safety Plan for Jill: A Case Study”

    instructions: 
    For this assignment, you will build on your initial assessment and safety plan from the Week 4 Case Study. The case study is listed below for your review.
    Jill is a 50-year-old woman who lives with her husband and two children (aged 20 and 18). She has come to see her PMHNP with worries about a number of health problems including extreme tiredness, agitation and pains in her chest. Past history Jill has been a frequent attender at the practice over the years, often with concerns about her or her children’s health. She experienced postpartum depression with her second child. She has a history of GAD and Depression and has been on and off antidepressants for the past 30 years. When she was 23 she took an overdose following the break-up of a relationship. She had some sessions of counseling about 10 years ago that she found helpful. She was referred to a primary care mental health worker in the practice two years ago for help with anxiety and low mood. She had some sessions of individual guided self-help, but she found that this made no difference. She was put in touch with a voluntary sector self-help group for people with anxiety around this time – but did not pursue this. She has no other health history or complaints today related to medical health, no military history. She currently takes no medications and has no allergies. She considers herself healthy as she eats a vegan diet and does walk 2 times a week around the local lake.
    On examination Jill says she has always been a very ‘nervy’ person who finds dealing with everyday stresses difficult. She worries a lot about herself and her family and easily gets “in a state” and assumes “the worst” – for example, if family members are unwell or if they are late coming home. Sometimes things get so bad that she needs someone around her constantly to reassure her and feels that she can’t be left on her own. The intensity of these problems has varied over the years, but has become worse again during the past eight months following her husband’s diagnosis of heart problems. She has been drinking wine most evenings to try to calm herself down. More recently things have become so bad that she has sometimes felt that if she were left on her own she might harm herself. Her family has been very supportive and stayed with her during these periods until she calmed down, but is now finding this difficult to manage. Last night she had an extended period of feeling like everyone would be better off without her. She describes a plan “to drink alcohol, take some of her husband’s pain medications, start her car in the garage and pass out.” She states the only thing that every helps her is to walk and hum to herself and in the winter she sometimes knits.
