Disaster Recovery Plan

/0 Comments/in /by

Question Description

Develop a disaster recovery plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to community services after a disaster. Then, develop and record an 8-10 slide presentation of the plan with audio for the Vila Health system, city officials, and the disaster relief team.

Professional Context

Nurses fulfill a variety of roles, and their diverse responsibilities as health care providers extend to the community. The decisions we make daily and in times of crisis often involve the balancing of human rights with medical necessities, equitable access to services, legal and ethical mandates, and financial constraints. When an unanticipated event occurs, such as an accident or natural disaster, issues can arise that complicate decisions about meeting the needs of an individual or group, including understanding and upholding their rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness to safeguard those in your care. You are also accountable for promoting equitable quality of care for community residents.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply the concepts of emergency preparedness, public health assessment, triage, management, and surveillance after a disaster. You will also focus on hospital evacuation and extended displacement periods.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 1: Analyze health risks and health care needs among distinct populations.
    • Describe the determinants of health and the cultural, social, and economic barriers that impact safety, health, and disaster recovery efforts in a community.
  • Competency 2: Propose health promotion strategies to improve the health of populations.
    • Present specific, evidence-based strategies to overcome communication barriers and enhance interprofessional collaboration to improve disaster recovery efforts.
  • Competency 3: Evaluate health policies, based on their ability to achieve desired outcomes.
    • Explain how health and governmental policy affect disaster recovery efforts.
  • Competency 4: Integrate principles of social justice in community health interventions.
    • Explain how a proposed disaster recovery plan will lessen health disparities and improve access to community services.
  • Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead health promotion and improve population health.
    • Present a compelling case to community stakeholders to obtain their approval and support for a proposed disaster recovery plan.

Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Preparation

When disaster strikes, community members must be protected. A comprehensive recovery plan, guided by the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, is essential to help ensure everyone’s safety. The unique needs of residents must be assessed to lessen health disparities and improve access to equitable services after a disaster. Recovery efforts depend on the appropriateness of the plan, the extent to which key stakeholders have been prepared, and the allocation of available resources. In a time of cost containment, when personnel and resources may be limited, the needs of residents must be weighed carefully against available resources.

In this assessment, you are a member of a community task force responsible for developing a disaster recovery plan for the Vila Health community using MAP-IT, which you will present to city officials and the disaster relief team.

To prepare for the assessment, complete the Vila Health: Disaster Recovery Scenario simulation. In addition, you are encouraged to complete the Disaster Preparedness and Management activity.

Begin thinking about:

  • Community needs.
  • Resources, personnel, budget, and community makeup.
  • People accountable for implementation of the disaster recovery plan.
  • Healthy People 2020 goals.
  • A timeline for the recovery effort.

You may also wish to:

  • Review the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, which you will use to guide the development of your plan:
    • Mobilize collaborative partners.
    • Assess community needs.
    • Plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to services.
    • Implement a plan to reach Healthy People 2020 objectives.
    • Track community progress.
  • Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

Marketing Fact-Sheet

/0 Comments/in /by

Question Description

  1. Marketing Fact-Sheet (20% of final grade)
  2. Purpose of Assignment: The marketing fact sheet that you create in this assignment using research-based data will be an important tool for you to use to market the APN role. You can provide copies to prospective employers, bankers approached for small business loans, news reporters, your mother, patients, policy wonks – you get the idea. Make the facts sing for you – be creative! You will learn how to work these research facts into your everyday conversations, much to the dismay of your close friends.Assignment: Develop a 3-4 page summary (minimum) of key RESEARCH findings regarding the process and outcomes of advanced nursing practice (select one (1) specific APN role- nursing leaders, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, etc.). (Do NOT use articles about the APN role or describing the role. Find specific research articles OR the entire article will be deducted for 10 points.) Provide bulleted points of key findings with additional research information (e.g., sample size, sample health status, healthcare setting,specific outcomes, etc). You must provide enough specific information about the study so the research findings are not vague and they can be understood in context (see example below). Provide appropriate citations for each finding. Use complete sentences.

Requirement:

  • – Minimum of 10 separate PRIMARY research articles regarding APN practice must be cited (using APA format)
  • – Articles must be turned in with the paper and will be returned to you if requested. (You may burn a CD with the articles or upload electronic copies unto a zip drive as an option to turn in or provide DOI with link in uploaded copy)
  • – Majority of key points must focus on patient outcomes related to APN practice (e.g., patient satisfaction, reduced incidence of hospitalization, improved health status, etc.)
  • – Also include focus on quality of care and cost-effectiveness of APN care (You must have articles that address these outcomes also.)
  • – You will lose points for bullet points that are too vague or too limited to be able to “understand” the study
  • – You will also lose points if you write a narrative paper. This is NOT a regular paper.
  • – Consider drawing the conclusion for the reader for each article or finding (see examplebelow).

An example of brief overview of an article that addresses outcomes:

– A large randomized study of 3000 adult patients in public clinics was conducted in NYC. Patients were managed by NPs and physicians for six months measuring physiologic variables for HTN, diabetes, and asthma outcomes. Measures of A1C, BP, and asthma exacerbations resulted in essentially no difference in outcomes between the two provider groups indicating competency of the NPs to manage these chronic illnesses as well as physicians (Mundinger, et al, 2000).

Marketing Fact-Sheet Rubric (20 points)

(YOU must indicate which topic below is addressed by EACH study or you will lose points. List the topic as a SEPARATE HEADING prior to the presentation of the bullet points for that article.)

Outcomes of care
Quality of care provided
Cost-effectiveness of care (must have at least 2 articles here)

Format, grammar, appearance, creativity (If the paper is too poorly written to read, there will be a 5 point deduction that cannot be redeemed). Please use the university writing center for consultation if you are not a strong writer prior to submitting the paper.

Articles should be current within the past 5-7 years. The studies do not have to be in your specialty area but you should try to find these as they will beefit you more. International studies are not as powerful because of different healthcare systems and different cultures but can be used if necessary to count as 1-2 articles.

Be sure you have selected research articles—you must have the article with the primary findings, not a secondary mention.

FIND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING A PLURAL VS A POSSESSIVE CASE WHEN WRITING ABOUT NPS AND USE IT CORRECTLY.

CHECK APA FOR WHEN TO SPELL OUT A NUMBER AND WHEN YOU CAN USE THE DIGITS.

PBHL20002 Assignment 4

Word Limit : 1500 words need 5 pages double spaced

My topic is: Disease transmission on public transport .

referencing in Harvard style

What isPhotovoice?

Photovoice is a communications techniqueoriginally developed for community-based research. It involves a combination ofphotographs and text which is intended to reflect the situation as perceived bythe person creating the photovoice. The technique is commonly seen inethnographic research and modern art, but for this class, you will use amodified version of its methodology to analyse a health issue relevant to yourlocal environment – the places you live, work, and commute.

AssignmentRequirements

Choose a topic from the list of health issues inthe next section below. Think about it from the point of view of our foursimple rules (Distinctions, Systems, Relationships, and Perspectives). Identifysome of its components, determine how the issue in question arises from thesecomponents, and figure out how the components you’ve chosen interact with eachother.

Once you have done this, take some photos of thelocal environment that illustrate some of these components and interactions.These photos, along with textual explanations, will form your assignment. Theassignment must include:

–Introduction – A section that briefly outlinesyour topic and the perspective you have chosen to analyse the system that givesrise to it.

–Visual representation – A diagram thatincludes the components you have chosen to highlight and shows theirrelationship to each other. This could be a visual map, a part-whole diagram, acausal loop, or other similar representation.

–Photos and text – 4-5 photographs from yourlocal environment, each one accompanied by a short paragraph (approximately 300words) explaining which component of the system it illustrates and how it fitsinto the system you have described in the previous section.

Topics

Select only ONE of these topics for yourassignment.

– Disease transmission on public transport. Itis obviously easy for infectious diseases to spread on public transport, as itis in any location where there are a large number of people. You should alsoconsider the reasons why so many people need to be in that one place at thesame time (eg. Does it relate to their job? Something else?).

–Incidental exercise opportunities. Despite thepopularity of cars, trains, and the like, modern life still involves a lot ofthings like walking (among other forms of exercise). Note that some features ofthe urban environment support exercise (eg. stairs), and others have anopposing effect (eg. escalators).

–Traffic and accidents. City and townenvironments provide a great deal of convenience, with a high concentration ofoffices, shops, and the like. While this makes them very advantageous incertain ways, they also result in a large concentration of people and vehiclesin a relatively small area. Additionally, time pressure often results in peoplecutting corners when it comes to traffic rules, right of way, use of pedestrianfacilities, and so forth.

–Indoor air quality. The rise of serviceindustries over the past century has led to many people spending most of theirworking time indoors. These jobs are often very desirable because of their highsalaries compared to the older style of work, but the ventilation systemsrequired (particularly in high-rise buildings) have their own issues. The airoften comes from outside, and its content may be uncertain or variable;additionally, uneven circulation and temperature issues can result in sometimesserious discomfort.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your final assessment item for this unit is to prepare a photovoice illustrating the system behind a public health issue of your choice. Your photovoice should:

  • illustrate different elements and relationships within the system

    • • explain how these elements and relationships impact upon public health outcomes

  • demonstrate how the system can be used to identify potential community partnerships beneficial to health promotion
  • identify how specific elements and relationships in the system can be used to inform public policy/public health interventions

    • referencing in Harvard style

    Question Description

    About the course:

    This course is designed to develop an understanding of the concepts of public health as they relate to disaster management. The student will apply Noji’s five phases of a disaster to actual public health disaster events during the last 25 years. The course will focus on what preparedness actions are necessary to safeguard the health of citizens and emergency personnel during a disaster event, as well as public health disaster response and investigation. Public health issues in disaster management that are covered include water and food supply disruption and contamination, waste disposal, environmental pollution and infectious disease outbreaks. The basic principles of epidemiology and health surveillance will also be reviewed.

    Homework:

    MaHIM appears complicated but it mirrors the standard ICS matrix in terms of its design. There are five sectors: Command, Operations, Logistics, Planning and Admin/Finance. However, the system is not actually a roadmap for assigning persons to perform tasks. Rather, it is a map whose purpose is to remind an incident manager of all the tasks which much be accomplished during a complex health emergency and it groups those tasks into functional sectors.

    Assignment: Read both MaHIM and the Public Health ICS document. Create between 10-15 Powerpoint slides discussing: (1) the difference between MaHIM and the public health ICS, (2) the major functional subgroups contained within the sector of your choosing, (3) critical actions for the first 24 hours of an incident from the public health perspective, choosing from: category 5 hurricane in Miami, NYC subway terrorist bombing, large earthquake in urban center in northern California, massive explosion at a chemical factory, or Y. pestis (plague) outbreak in Washington DC. Remember to describe your answer in terms of public health emergencies, not fire-rescue incident types.

    You will find the assigned reading in the attachment.

    Slides should have no more than 4-6 lines of text per slide, and 1-3 ideas per slide max. Text should be in bullet format, not paragraph/prose format. Information should be conveyed in a concise but comprehensible manner. Do not write too much, as this creates a crowded slide which is visually overwhelming. Your meaning will get lost in the slide and your audience will lose interest. Do not write too little as this makes it difficult to understand your intended meaning. You may receive a lower grade because it will not be clear that you understood the concepts. Use photos and diagrams thoughtfully to supplement and advance your presentations, not just as meaningless filler.

    Each presentation should have a title slide, an objective slide and one or more reference slides. The title slide should contain the title of your presentation, your full name, the date and course #. The objectives slide should outline the main bullet points that your presentation will cover. These should be analogous to lessons you expect your intended target audience to learn from your presentations. Your target audience has a basic disaster management background equivalent to your own. You do not need to include background material such as the history of ICS in your presentation.

    The number of slides will be assigned for each presentation. The student may go above that number by 2-3 slides but may not go below the assigned number. The assigned number of slides does NOT INCLUDE the title, objectives or reference slides. It also will not include slides with pictures or diagrams unless those slides substantively advance the presentation. This means that if this were a live presentation you would spend at least one minute discussing that picture/diagram. If you use photos or other multimedia in your presentation and it is not your own work (i.e., you took it from the internet) you MUST reference it on the slide (as opposed to the references slide at the end.

    nursing theory discussion question response

    /0 Comments/in /by

    Question Description

    Please respond to this post in 150 words with one reference

    #1Theory of Integral is a theory developed by Barbara Dossey in 2008which she built on the work of Wilbler (Dinapolis & Tracy, 2012)This theory helps clinicians in implementing interventions focusing onhealing, holistic and relationship centered approach (Dinapolis &Tracy, 2012). The benefits of applying the integral theory into practiceis that the patient will recognize that the nurse is providingindividualized care. The nurse builds a caring relationship with thepatient which will help the delivery of holistic care. For instance, thenurse has to be able to acknowledge the clients experience andencourage him to disclose openly his feelings which requires a trustingrelationship. This will open the door to educating the client.

    Theory of Integral can be difficult because caregivers must spend timeon self- assessment and self-healing in order to be prepared to engageclients fully in the delivery of holistic care (Dinapolis & Tracy,2012). The article explains the benefits of implementing the theory ofintegral and what it encompasses in detail, which helps the readerunderstand it. The article should include research done on theimplementation of theory and how it has changed the clinical practice.

    Theory of integral is most related to essential VIII (Clinicalprevention and population health for improving health) because thisfocuses on care and services that are responsive to the emotional andspiritual needs of the patient. Theory of integral is a holisticapproach which helps the client to be centered for the body, mind andspirit to work synergistically to improve health (Dinapolis & Tracy,2012). Essential IX: Master- Level nursing practice is also relatedbecause as masters- level nurses we possess a great understanding oftheory and focus on individualized care (AACN. 2017).

    Please respond to this post in 150 words with one reference

    #2The Theory of Integral Nursing highlights 3 major elements affectingthe implementation of concept in to the medical training. All thoseelements are inadequate concept knowledge, inadequate managementassistance to motivate the improvement of theory based interventions,and the hectic task oriented weather of countless nursingconfigurations. Among the strengths of this post is the fact that(Dinapoli and Tracey, 2008) explains various methods which may beutilized by nursing staff as well as medical providers to enhance paincontrol interventions such as for instance effective listening, publiclytalking with the individuals about the pain experience of theirs,getting them in the plan of theirs of care, and also show nurturing aswell as developing loyalty. One more benefit of the principle is thefact that provides nurses the chance to act on the desire of theirs toproduce a therapeutic environment for customers with the synthesis aswell as application of knowledge rooted in quadrant and metaparadigmaticrealities. On the flip side you will find many weakness which interferewith converting the essential theory ideas into training. For instancelots of nurses keep on describing obstacles which impede the managementof the client ‘s pain; the absence of use of the principle to training,bad time management as well as inadequate establishment of nurse clientrapport.

    Among the Essentials which I might connect with thiscontent is Quality Safety and Improvement, that claims that nursesshould be attentive and accurate to the performance requirements andsteps, equipment, and strategies regarding quality. Quality improvementis a consistent process which encompasses all organizational levels asthe major goal of its is improving patient outcomes. To be able to offerquality care, we the nursing staff are accountable for executing aprecise assessment of the issue to find the demand for improvement.Another MSN Crucial that I am able to connect with this content isimportant VIII. This Essential tells about clinical prevention andpopulation health for enhancing overall health. It says that nurses arerequired to use as well as incorporate culturally proper, clientcentered, organizational, along with wide ideas analysis, delivery,management, and preparation of public services as well as proper care ofindividuals and families.

    Peer Responses: Select two peer postings. In your responses to each, give one measurable outcome for each of the four diagnoses presented.

    (1)Part A.

    My number one out of the four that I chose to prioritize first is latex allergy reaction. The reason being is because it is a response from the immune system and can cause anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe and immediate hypersensitivity reaction. This needs to be taken care of immediately.

    My second choice is risk for pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers have different stages and are localized areas that have tissue damage over a bony prominence and can ultimately lead to necrosis, if not treated. This is easily preventable, but if a patient comes in with pressure ulcers, it needs to be determined what stage it is currently in. We want to prevent further discomfort and treat the pressure ulcer to prevent further tissue damage and treat the other reason why they came in to the hospital/clinic.

    My third option was nausea. This can be associated with various conditions. Nausea is a subjective experience that can eventually lead to vomiting. Vomiting is not a good thing, since you can lose electrolytes. The body would need to be replenished by consuming electrolytes to keep the body at homeostasis. If the patient was experiencing vomiting, then I would make this as my number two option. Since nausea is considered subjective, I put this as number three.

    My final choice is obesity. Obesity is an excess ob body fat and is a complex disease. As a result of this, the patient is at risk for other health problems. Depending on the severity of the patient’s progression of the disease, I would prioritize it by what other disease they have that is associated with obesity. If, for example, the patient has hypertension, then I would put that higher in my list.

    (2)Part B.

    These choices were just random ones I picked from the list, and as I was thinking about how to prioritize them i started thinking about how a patient would have these four problems. So I made myself a story about a man with these four diagnoses. A 35 year old man was brought into the ER by EMS. He was playing basket ball when he and another player collided and he came down on his leg wrong and broke it. The bone is now sticking out of his leg and the wound is covered in dirt and gravel. So based on this patient and the diagnoses above for the patient I would prioritize them as follows:

    1. Pain, Acute
    2. Nausea
    3. Infection, risk for
    4. Walking, impaired (Herdman & Kamitsuru, 2018).

    I used Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to help decide how to prioritize these diagnoses. The bottom layer of this pyramid is Physiological (khanacademymedicine, 2014). This patient’s pain, nausea and risk for infection are all part of helping the person physiologically. The impaired walking is taken care of with the second layer of this pyramid in safety. It would not be safe for this patient to walk right now with this kind of injury. Do you think that there is anything that should be done differently?

    Question Description

    McMinn Book Review Instructions

    You will complete a book review of Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling by McMinn that consists of 4 sections, each with a current APA heading. Use the provided template which has a correct title page, headings, and examples of in-text citations, and reference page (McMinn listed as the reference). You will not use any additional sources for this paper.

    Summary (25 points)

    The McMinn book can be divided into 2 broad “parts.” The first part comprises chapters 1–2 and in those chapters, McMinn lays down a foundation for the rest of the book. In your summary of the first 2 chapters, explain the essential elements in McMinn’s approach to the integration of psychology, theology, and spirituality into counseling. If you had to identify the most important concepts in McMinn’s foundation, what would they be? Present your points clearly, with ideas organized by paragraphs. The second part of the book comprises the application chapters (chapters 3–8). In your summary of these chapters, identify the most important elements of each chapter that best characterize McMinn’s approach to integration. Consider using a separate paragraph for the summary points from each of the chapters. For length, the first section of your paper should be the longest section (1–2+ pages suggested).

    Personal Reflection (10 points)

    We often remember what speaks to us personally. Pick out a few concepts from McMinn that most resonated with you and tell us why they touched you personally. Make sure you provide a clear tie-in to a main point from McMinn. Do not just tell a personal story prompted by secondary points – stick to the main ideas. Make this section approximately 1 page.

    Analysis (10 points)

    What did you find truly unique about McMinn’s approach? What was most helpful? What suggestions from McMinn will be most difficult to utilize in your own counseling? In this section, pick out 3–5 unique ideas (generally not found in every other book on Christian counseling) and explain why you found them unique, or difficult, absolutely essential, or impossible to apply, etc. Highlight the 3–5 unique points to make them obvious to the reader and make this section approximately 1 page. What you write in this section must exhibit that you read this book thoughtfully.

    Application (25 points)

    Think of how you would apply concepts from this book to your work as a human services counselor. First, briefly describe the setting in which you will most likely work (or presently do work)—community services agency, hospital, adoption agency, church counseling center, probation office, etc. Then for your particular agency, list at least 5 important concepts from McMinn that you most likely will apply in your work on that setting. Briefly explain how you would apply McMinn’s concepts. Why did you choose those particular concepts? You could also explain the challenges you might face as you seek to integrate psychology/theology/spirituality into your human services counseling. In this section, provide a numbered list of concepts. This section should be approximately 1 or more pages.

    Keep in mind that while the template with correct and current APA formatting is provided, you must present your ideas using professional (graduate level) writing. Writing quality and APA will count for 30 points of your total. Note that page length is suggested; you will not be penalized for going over the suggested length unless the longer length reveals poor writing. Sections shorter than the suggested length may indicate inadequate content.

    McMinn Book Review is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 7.
