Having the available funding to support one’s campaign as a necessary resource in running for office. Interestingly — in doing some research, the ANA (American Nurses Association) has a PAC as do many individual state nursing organizations. In 2022, the ANA-PAC raised $239,000 for political contributions and donated $128, 500 (53.77%) to democratic candidates and $110,500 (46.23%) to Republican candidates. In this light, it seems that the ANA is very involved in the political process in terms of supporting RNs running for office.I welcome your thought?
How might healthcare policy advocacy change if nurses are seated at the table? 

Read two different articles from the MMWR (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.html) developed by the CDC. Complete a SOCO worksheet for each of the articles you read.
Once you are done with the above activity, answer the following questions:
Was it easy to determine the SOCO for the articles you read? Give reasons to substantiate your answer.
What could the authors have done to more easily convey their message?

Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in the first essay of: 
Diabetes: A group of diseases that result in high blood sugar.
o Potential Health Impacts: Can lead to complications like heart disease, stroke,
kidney disease, eye problems, and nerve damage.
Then, implement your health promotion plan by conducting a hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected group. How would you set goals for the session, evaluate session outcomes, and suggest possible revisions to improve future sessions?
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.
You will resume the role of a community nurse tasked with addressing the specific health concern in your community. This time, you will present, via educational outreach, the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in the first essay 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 objectives of the plan, revise the plan as applicable, and propose improvement for future educational sessions. To engage your audience, you will develop a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes to communicate your plan.
Complete the following:
Prepare a 9–12 slide PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and detailed speaker notes that reflects your hypothetical presentation. This presentation is the implementation of the plan you created in Assessment 1. The speaker notes should be well organized. Be sure to include the speaker notes 
Simulate the hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected community individual or group.
Imagine collaborating with the hypothetical participant(s) in setting goals for the session, evaluating session outcomes, and suggesting possible revisions to improve future sessions.
