Clinical Journal Assignment

Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to enhance reflection, facilitate critical thought, and express feelings in writing about challenges and successes encountered during role transition clinical experiences. Journal writing provides students with the opportunity to return to experiences in an attempt to develop new perspectives that can guide future nursing practice.

Directions: Students submit one journal entry during the term. The journal should be approximately 2 pages in length (double spaced). See below for specific content requirements.

———————————————————————————————————–

Instructions: Create a Word document that contains student name, date, and clinical placement. Address the three domains below, using the prompts. Label each section clearly. Since this is your personal account, first person narrative may be used. Double-space your work and proofread for errors.

Cognitive Learning (2 point)

Identify at least two skills or concepts that were learned or reinforced in clinical. This could be actual tactile skills (like suctioning or Foley insertion, for example) or other skills – like giving report, communicating with patients or families, dealing with conflict, managing your time, etc.

Affective & Transitioning Experiences (4 points)

How did you feel about the experiences you encountered in clinical? (1 pt.)

What were your strengths of performance and areas needing growth? (1 pt.)

How do you feel you are transitioning to the role of professional nurse? (1 pt.)

Contemporary Public Health Issue

Although the United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, it is far from being the healthiest. Life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, but Americans have shorter lifespans and experience more illness than people in other high-income countries. This assignment gives you an opportunity to put together what you have learned in this course, including, but not limited to:

a) public health policy, policymaking process, and law;

b) public health and the legal system;

c) individual and human rights in public health; and

d) social justice, ethics and public health policy.

Choose a contemporary public health issue (e.g., bioterrorism, gun violence, or natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires), its impact on public health, and strategies for mitigating and managing it once the issue occurs.

Following APA guidelines, create a PowerPoint presentation of 20 slides (plus title and reference slides) on the contemporary public health issue you have chosen and a human rights ethical dilemma. You will present this work to a team of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials tasked with developing global policies for addressing the impact of contemporary public health issues around the world.

Your presentation should assess:

a) the human rights concerns associated with the selected issues in public health policy,

b) the conflicts of interest between public health policies and your selected emerging public health issue, and

c) the gaps in the current health law that apply to the contemporary public health concern you selected with recommended suitable policy interventions to address the selected contemporary public health issue.

Your assignment must be supported with evidence from three to five peer-reviewed references and no more than five years old.

All sources used in this assignment, including your textbook, must be cited and referenced according to the APA standards.

Ensure your presentation includes visuals such as images and graphics to supplement your message. These images or graphics must be cited according to APA standards as well. Your title and reference slides do not count toward the total slide requirement.

As part of the presentation, you MUST use the speaker notes section for the content slides to reinforce your presentation.

Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in the first assessment. 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?

As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Conducting an Effective Educational Session activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider key issues in conducting an effective educational session for a selected audience. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.

Note: All assignments in the course are based upon hypothetical individuals or groups.

Professional Context

Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, 2018). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2020 helps motivate action in such areas as health service access, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence, maternal, infant and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse, and tobacco use.

Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in various formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to 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 are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (ODPHP, n.d.;

Activity Description
1. Go to:
i. http://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/energy_budget/ and review.  Focus on the Earth’s Energy Budget diagram.
ii. Please conduct informational research on Habitable Zones. You can also use: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/habitablezones/animations/stellarHabitableZone.html .  From this simulator, you can go back and read some of the Main Content under Habitable Zones. Regardless, do some research on Habitable Zones. If the simulator does not show on the browser you are using, then try a different browser.
2. Refer to the Earth’s Energy Budget diagram above and describe your understanding of it. Follow the numbers used and describe how they add up or don’t add up. Be thorough and specific. Use the numbers in your response.
3. In referencing the Earth’s Energy Budget diagram, someone might state, “The heat exchanges are in balance: the heat gained by the Earth through solar radiation equals the heat lost through thermal radiation.” What is meant by this statement? What NSCI100 concepts are being used here? Explain.
4. Now make connections among the Earth’s Energy Budget diagram, the Habitable Zone information and the Vital Signs of Planet Earth by discussing what you think the impact on planet Earth would be for each of these three conditions if each condition was sustained for a significant amount of time :
i. The heat gained by the Earth through solar radiation equals the heat lost through thermal radiation.
ii. The heat gained by the Earth through solar radiation is less than the heat lost through thermal radiation.
iii. The heat gained by the Earth through solar radiation is more than the heat lost through thermal radiation.
In addressing this culminating question, you should at least:
a. Conduct informational research on the topic. Summarize the results of this literature search and include references.
