Devry NR443 week 1 DQ 1

Core Functions of Public Health (graded)

Let’s start with a broad overview of public health nursing. The three core functions of public health are assessment, assurance, and policy development (Nies & McEwen, 2015, p. 6).

· Describe one of these core public health functions.

· Discuss how this core function relates to one intervention from the Public Health Intervention Wheel (Nies & McEwen, 2015, pp. 14–15).

Devry NR443 week 1 DQ 2

Determinants of Health (graded)

What makes some healthy and others ill? Healthy People 2020 identifies five determinants of health that influence the health of individuals and populations. Healthy People 2020 describes them as “A range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status are known as determinants of health” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2014, About Determinants of Health, para. 1). Determinants fall into five categories including: (a) policy making, (b) social factors, (c) health services, (d) individual behavior, and (e) biology and genetics.

· Go to the “Determinants of Health” link http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/foundation-health-measures/Determinants-of-Health and click on each determinant to read about all of the determinants.

· Choose one of the five determinants. In your posting, describe this determinant and its importance.

Devry NR443 week 2 DQ 2

Demographic and Epidemiological Assessment (graded)

For this post, you will collect assessment data about your city or county. This post will include information about demographics (general characteristics) and epidemiological data (disease or health behavior rates) of your community. This data collection will help with two sections of your Week 4 Milestone 2 assignment.

1. Demographic data: Go online to the U.S. Census Bureau at http://quickfacts.census.gov/. Obtain information about the demographic characteristics of the population for your city or county of residence. You may have to look at county data if your city is not listed. Collect a range of demographic data about age, ethnicity, poverty levels, housing, and education.

2. Epidemiological data: Go to your city or county health department website (search the Internet) or County Health Rankings (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/) to discuss epidemiological data about your area. Identify several priority health concerns for your area.

DQ 1 Caring for Vulnerable Populations (graded)

This week, you are learning about many different vulnerable populations. Choose one vulnerable population.

· Briefly describe this vulnerable population.

· Discuss several risk factors that may impact health outcomes for this group.

· Describe two priorities for community health nurses working with this population.

DQ 2

Assuring Resources for the Vulnerable (graded)

Review the Week 3 Case Study that may be found in Doc Sharing.

Assurance is one of the three core functions of public health. Find a resource in your community (other than WIC) that could assist Mary during her pregnancy. Start by searching the Internet for your local health department’s website. What services do they provide for pregnant women or those with mental health concerns? What about your local welfare office? Do they provide prenatal or mental health services? Are there any service organizations, crisis pregnancy centers, or churches providing help for pregnant women or those experiencing mental health concerns?

· Briefly describe the types of services that you found.

· Choose one agency and assess this agency in terms of the 4 As. Is it accessible, acceptable, affordable, or available for Mary or other pregnant women that you case-manage?

Devry NR443 week 4

DQ 1

Concerns for the School Nurse (graded)

As the school nurse role evolves, there are increasingly more health concerns for the school nurse. Does the locale make a difference in the problems, or are health problems in children and adolescents universal? In some inner-city areas, violence is a prevalent issue. What do you think are the biggest problems in your areas?

DQ 2

Healthy People Objectives for Community Settings (graded)

The federal government developed Healthy People as a set of national health objectives that are revised every 10 years. These objectives are very specific in order to guide and measure our nation’s progress related to public health.

Please visit http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topicsobjectives2020/. Click on a topic area that relates to a community health (CH) setting you are learning about. Click on the green Objectives area in that topic area to choose one Healthy People 2020 numbered objective.

· Describe the community health setting of interest (see Chapters 30–33).

· Discuss one specific numbered Healthy People 2020 objective (not a goal) related to this community health setting.

Points:250 points

Scenario

You are a community public health nurse (C/PHN) working in your setting of choice. You have analyzed the data collected from your windshield survey and assessment and diagnosis assignments (the first two milestones) and identified one community health nursing problem. You have decided on onenursing intervention and need your organization’s approval for funding of this intervention. Your leadership team has agreed to listen to your proposal.

Directions

· Watch the Milestone 3 tutorialby clicking thislink. This tutorial is also available on Course Project page under Course Home as well as Week 6 Assignments page.

· Choose a community health nurse setting.Some examples of settings are school nurse, parish nurse, home health nurse, nurse working in the health department (be specific to what area in the health department, e.g., WIC, STD clinic, health promotion, maternal-child health, etc.)

· Introduction:Introduce the identified problem, the purpose of the presentation, and reiterate at least one or two important findings that demonstrate this problem in your community (average of 1–2 slides)

· Proposed Intervention:Propose one community health nursing intervention that would address one or more of the major factors that contribute to the problem(average of 3–4 slides).

o Describe your specific nursing intervention relating it to the public health intervention wheel (Nies& McEwen, 2015, p. 14, Figure 1-3)

o Whois your target population?

o Where is this intervention taking place?

o Will it take place one time or multiple times?

o How will you reach out to your target population?

· How will you get your target population involved?

o What is the CH nurse’s role in this intervention?

o Will you collaborate with anyone (e.g., physician’s office, church, local resources, etc.)

o Is anyone else involved besides yourself (C/PHN)?

· If yes, are they paid or volunteers?

o What level(s) of prevention is your intervention addressing (primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention)?

· Intervention Justification:Justify why the problem and your nursing intervention should be a priority.

o Based on what you have found in the scholarly literature, discuss why these interventions are expected to be effective.

o Include summarized information from at least two professional scholarly sources from peer reviewed journals related to your intervention (average of 2–3 slides).

· Proposed Evaluation Methods: Your presentation must include at least oneproposed quantitative or qualitative evaluation method thatyouwould use to determine whether your intervention is effective. Outcome measurement is a crucial piece whenimplementing interventions(average of 2–3 slides)

o Describe at least one quantitative or qualitative method you would use to evaluate whether your intervention was effective. (There is a helpful tool found in Doc Sharing to assist you with understanding qualitative and quantitative methods of evaluation).

o Describe the desired outcomes you would track that would show whether your intervention was working.

o Include a discussion about the long-term and short-term impact on your community if the intervention issuccessful.

· Summary: The summary should reiterate the main points of the presentation and conclude with what you are asking to be accomplished; for example, “Based on ABC, it is imperative our community has XYZ. Thank you for your consideration.”

· In addition to the slides described above, your presentation should include a title slide with your name includedand a reference slide.Remember, you are presenting to your leadership team, so the slides should include the most important elements for them to know inshort bullet pointed phrases.

Assessing Need for Change (graded)

Think about a problem in your clinical practice. Are the satisfaction scores in your unit low? Does your unit have a higher than average infection rate? What is a problem you see in your clinical practice? What are some of the possible solutions? Why is it important to evaluate the need for change and not just stick with the “it’s the way we always have done it” mentality?

DQ 1

Nurse’s Role in EBP (graded)

Evidence based practice dates back to Florence Nightingale, yet it took a long time for nurses to conduct nursing research. Why is it important for nurses to have their own body of knowledge? Give a specific example of how bedside nurses contribute to nursing research?

Devry NR451 Week 2 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2

DQ 1

Forming the PICO Question (graded)

Form a PICO question that you will use for your change project. Include each element of the PICO question. How did you develop this question? Why is it important to your clinical practice?

DQ 2

Appraisal of Evidence (graded)

When reviewing a journal article, how do you best determine its credibility and reliability? Why is it important to determine the strength of evidence and how does that affect your implementation of the results into clinical practice?

Devry NR451 Week 3 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2

DQ 1

Feasibility of your Capstone Project (graded)

Now that you have identified your capstone project. What is the cost involved to implement your project? Remember that cost isn’t always just money but also time and resources (both tangible and intangible). Will the initial cost pay off in the long run with improved outcomes?

DQ 2

Communication Errors (graded)

Have you ever played the telephone game when you were younger? Communication can take on a life of its own and the content can often be distorted over time. Give an example in your clinical practice where miscommunication was the root cause of an error. How could this communication error have been prevented?

Devry NR451 Week 4 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2

DQ 1

Patterns of Nursing Care (graded)

Your lesson this week discussed patterns of nursing care delivery. In your opinion, what is the most effective nursing care delivery model and why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen nursing care delivery model? Give specific clinical examples.

DQ 2

Discussion of Articles (graded)

Discuss the two articles that you read from the Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-based Handbook for Nurses website. Give the title and the URL address for each article. How is the information in each article applicable to your practice?

Devry NR451 Week 5 Discussion DQ 1 & DQ 2

DQ 1

An Ethical Dilemma (graded)

Nurses face many ethical issues on a daily basis. Consider the following scenario:

Your unit has team nursing. As luck would have it, you and your best friend, Jill, are paired as a team this shift. Jill is a new nurse so you feel this is a great opportunity to take her under your wing a bit and show her the ropes. It is a busy shift and you administered Mr. Smith his insulin dose based on the sliding scale before lunch.
