NUR 508 GRAND CANYON ALL WEEK ASSIGNMENTS NUR 508 GRAND CANYON ALL WEEK ASSIGNMENTS NUR508 NUR 508 Grand Canyon Week 1 Assignment Collaborative Learning Community: CLC Agreement Resource 1: CLC Health Issue Analysis Overview Details: Group work has benefits and liabilities. EVERYONE assigned to a CLC is expected to equally participate in the work in terms of time and quality of effort. Each participant has strengths and it is reasonable to apportion the work to make best use of this. Some are natural leaders. Our strengths can be our greatest liabilities: No one wants to be bossed around no matter how skilled the boss is. Honest communication is critical to effective group work. The best way to avoid conflict is to set very clear expectations up front. Then, if someone does not do what is expected him/her, he/she can be referred to the original agreement rather than have the confrontation become personal. Course instructors are able to observe the group process in the CLC forum. If the work takes place outside the forum, this information will be absent. Be certain (even if communicating via e-mail, phone, or face-to-face) to record the communication in the CLC forum. CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR NUR 508 GRAND CANYON ALL WEEK ASSIGNMENTS CLC Project Overview The purpose of this assignment is to critically analyze a health care issue through the focus of major concepts from each Topic. There are six components to this assignment after the CLC agreement is signed and the topic is identified. It is not expected that every member of the CLC group will contribute to each assignment, but that assignments will be divided fairly and equally among the group. Each of the written components of the CLC project will be 500-1,000 words. These papers should be in APA format with a title and a reference page. An abstract is not required. An introduction is required ONLY for Part 1 and is not required in any parts thereafter. It is the intention that if one were to take the six parts of this assignment and put them together, a comprehensive and cohesive analysis would be produced. Part 1 is worth 3 points and each of the subsequent parts (2-6) are worth 4 points each. Topic 1 (10 points) Check into the CLC group and provide contact information and describe prior experience, if any, with health policy. Locate and read the CLC Agreement provided by the instructor, located within the Additional Resources Folder in Canyon Connect. Choose one member to transfer the document to the CLC forum. Decide upon the process needed to fill out the contract. Everyone should participate. Before filling out the agreement, it may be helpful for each student to describe the most difficult, frustrating, helpful, or beneficial apects of working on a collaborative project. Getting this type of information out in the open ahead of time may help to prevent conflict later on. Since no one is angry yet, you can comfortably list what is likely to make you angry and also what would make you satisfied. Complete the CLC Agreement (except for the final block, which is used at the end). Select someone to submit the CLC Agreement by the end of Topic 1. Topic 2 (10 points) Initiate a conversation regarding potential topics of interest. This should be a health issue with national and international relevance that will be the basis for your final project. It may be helpful to identify a number of topics of interest and have individual group members do a quick survey of the literature to be sure that there is current information available. Revise the CLC Agreement with the choice of the topic identified in the title and re-submit the CLC Agreement. There is no formal writing requirement for the topic selection. It is merely a brief paragraph declaring your identified topic. Topic 3 ? Part 1 (50 points) Research and outline the history of the health issue.

NUR 508 Grand Canyon Week 2 Assignment 1 Nursing Leadership Health Policy Details: The IOM Future of Nursing report calls for an increase in leadership from nurses at all levels. One way nurses demonstrate their role as a leader, is through public policy change. A leader does not always carry an official title or position, but demonstrates leadership through the work and the stance he/she takes to make a change for the good of others. Nurses have been noted by the Gallop poll year after year as the most trusted professionals. This assignment requires thought about a public policy that is needed or needs to be changed that relates to nursing, healthcare, and/or the public. Policy changes can occur by working with members of your legislature, and state or national nurses associations, to introduce a new bill and/or change to a current law in your state or federal government. Examples of public policy includes any component of the current legislation governing health care, Medicare part D, Medicaid, nursing regulation, medication technicians, etc. In 750-1000 words, propose a health policy change (that is currently a bill, a law, or may not exist at all) at the state or federal level that you believe needs to change and why. The policy must NOT be a clinical care policy for individual care. The policy involved may include public or community health, legislative or regulatory, professional organization (nursing-oriented), advanced nursing practice, health plan, or hospital plan. Include a specific section for the exact wording for the bill or change in wording of the law. Include the plan for the implementation of your policy development, to lobbying for passage, to next steps after passage. Discuss who would be the champion for the bill/law change from your state advocates (legislators, federal legislators, local or national state nursing organizations). Are these individuals also influential in making changes occur? Did you vote for the individual in office that you want to help you make this change? Resources: Review different pieces of legislation for ideas on wording. Visit your states legislative governmental affairs website site to understand the process your policy change could take if you wanted to introduce to into legislation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION;

Introduction

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”1 Similarly, a public health perspective on health focuses on more than just individual well-being; it is concerned with the health of entire populations.

There are a number of factors that may affect your level of health. Some of these factors are under your control, while others may be related to factors outside your control.

Determinants of Health

The WHO defines health as “complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The WHO considers multiple factors in its definition of what constitutes good health. These include:

• Life expectancy

• Infant mortality rate (the number of infants who die before they reach one year old)

• Maternal mortality rate (the number of women who die during pregnancy or within 42 days after giving birth)

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”1 Similarly, a public health perspective on health focuses on more than just individual well-being; it is concerned with the health of entire populations.

Health can be defined in many ways: being free from illness; having good vision and hearing; being physically fit enough to do activities you enjoy; feeling happy about your life; etc. However, these definitions suggest that there is something special about this concept that makes it different from other concepts such as happiness or success at work.

There are a number of factors that may affect your level of health. Some of these factors are under your control, while others may be related to factors outside your control.

Determinants of health are those factors that affect your level of health. Some determinants are under your control, while others may be related to factors outside your control.

Factors outside our control include: age, gender, genetics and socio-economic status.

Our bodies react differently to different situations based on the time period (age), season (climate), environment (urban vs rural) and genetics. For example, an older person may have slower healing rates due to a lack of hormone production due to aging; this could lead them having more issues with chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus or high blood pressure because they cannot regulate their body temperature as well as younger individuals who still have all their reproductive organs functioning properly even if they aren’t sexually active anymore!

Factors Under Your Control

• Smoking, alcohol consumption, substance use, physical activity levels and sexual behaviors. These are all factors that you can control for a positive impact on your health.

• Nutrition and diet quality: A healthy diet is important for all ages but particularly so in childhood and adolescence when our bodies are growing rapidly. Adequate nutrition contributes to good health throughout life because it helps maintain bone density, boosts immunity against infections such as tuberculosis (TB), aids digestion and prevents certain cancers such as colon cancer or breast cancer by reducing inflammation caused by high levels of fat intake (1). Good nutrition also helps protect against cognitive decline with age through maintenance of normal blood glucose levels which improves brain function (2).

Alcohol consumption

Alcohol consumption is associated with a number of health problems, including liver disease and heart disease. In addition to these conditions, alcohol consumption is also linked to high blood pressure and stroke. One study found that people who drank more than two drinks per day were twice as likely to die from cancer than those who did not drink at all.

Substance use

Substance use can be used for pleasure or to help relieve pain. Some substances are used as part of a general lifestyle, such as smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol; others are more specific in terms of purpose, such as prescription medication (or “medicine”) that’s prescribed by a doctor. Substances like these can have benefits for some people but they also have risks when used excessively.

A substance may be legal or illegal depending on where you live, who uses it and what effects it has on your health over time. For example: Marijuana is legal but tobacco products like cigarettes are illegal; however there are many other substances that fall under these categories including Ecstasy (MDMA) which has been shown to increase risk of depression among users

Physical activity levels

Physical activity levels are important for health.

Physical activity can help prevent chronic diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The World Health Organization recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity each week (such as brisk walking) or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (such as running). Children and adolescents should engage in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activities that increase their heart rate by at least 20% above resting levels for a minimum of 60 minutes per day.

Physical inactivity is associated with increased risk of death from all causes, as well as cancer, respiratory disease, mental disorders and musculoskeletal problems such as arthritis and osteoporosis; this is why regular exercise is recommended for good health throughout life!

Sexual behaviors and sexually transmitted infections (STI)

Sexually transmitted infections (STI) are the most common type of infection in the world. STIs are caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites and can be transmitted through any sexual contact with an infected person. In addition to STIs being a serious public health problem, they also affect your loved ones’ health.

If you have a partner who has been diagnosed with an STI:

• Use condoms every time you have sex! Condoms protect against both pregnancy and some types of STDs like HIV/AIDS; but if your partner does not use condoms consistently at every single time you have sex together, it may be hard for him/her to get tested for an STI if he/she tests positive because there will be no obvious symptoms that would make him aware of his infection status before getting treated! This means that regular condom use is crucial in preventing new infections from starting which could lead up very quickly into even more serious problems such as infertility/miscarriage rates rising drastically over time due simply due lack of consistent protection during unprotected intercourse.”

Nutrition and diet quality

Nutrition and diet quality

The first step to improving your health is to eat a balanced diet. This means eating a variety of foods from all four food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats). It’s important that you don’t focus on any one type of food group at the expense of others. For example, if you’re following a vegan diet that excludes meat products or dairy products which are among the best sources of protein there may not be enough nutrition in your diet to maintain proper weight and energy levels.

If you’re not sure what constitutes an adequate daily intake of nutrients like protein and carbohydrates then consult with a registered dietitian before making any changes (see Resources).

Occupational hazards and use of safety equipment

• Occupational hazards and use of safety equipment.

• Safety equipment includes protective clothing, eyewear and respirators.

The most common hazards found in a workplace are: -Chemical and biological agents, such as heavy metals and mold that can cause skin irritation and respiratory problems. -Physical hazards, such as moving machinery or electrical equipment that can cause burns or cuts. -Ergonomic hazards, such as repetitive manual tasks that can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Quality and amount of sleep

• Sleep has been shown to be a key factor in health and well-being. People who get less than seven hours of sleep per night have higher rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and depression compared to those who sleep more than eight hours.

• The amount of sleep you need depends on your age, gender and activity level. Children under 12 should limit their total daily hours spent sleeping (including naps) to 10 or 11 hours per 24-hour period; children ages 2 through 5 need 9-10 hours of uninterrupted rest; 6-7 year olds should try for 8+ hours each night; 8+ year old girls require 7+ hours nightly while 7+ year old boys can expect 7+. Adults generally fall somewhere between these numbers with adults averaging about eight hours nightly.”

Use of seat belts and other safety measures in vehicles, at home etc.

There are many ways to help you keep your car safer. Always wear seat belts, even when the vehicle is stopped and at a stop light. It’s also important to use them when you get in and out of your car, especially if there are children in the backseat.

You should always make sure that everyone in your vehicle wears a seat belt at all times, including:

• The driver

• All passengers

Access to needed medical services, medications and immunizations.

Access to medical services, medications and immunizations is a major determinant of health. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that everyone age 50 or older receive yearly flu shots and be tested for cholesterol at least once every five years.

Mental health care is also essential for people who have low incomes or limited access to it; a lack of mental health treatment can lead to chronic unemployment or homelessness, which further compounds their hardships in life

Extent to which individuals can manage their own care including adherence to medical instructions.2

Extent to which individuals can manage their own care including adherence to medical instructions.

This includes factors such as:

• The ability to understand and follow a treatment plan;

• The ability to communicate clearly about their condition with doctors, nurses and other health professionals; and

• The ability to produce a written record of the advice given by health professionals

The world health organization considers multiple factors in its definition of what constitutes good health.

The World Health Organization considers multiple factors in its definition of what constitutes good health. These include mental and social well-being as well as physical health, which includes both mental and physical aspects. The WHO is concerned with the health of entire populations, rather than an individual’s condition or their ability to function within society.

Conclusion

Determining what constitutes good health requires a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses not only health professionals, but also other sectors of society including policy makers and legislators. Finding the right balance between these various factors is essential for improving public health outcomes for all individuals in need of care. This can be achieved through a multi-sectoral approach that includes public policy and social services alongside individual lifestyle interventions such as tobacco cessation programs and obesity prevention programs offered by private insurers or employers who provide incentives to employees who adopt healthier lifestyles.
