Federal Level Response Table School

/in /by

In 1998 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies of Science (NAS) published a review entitled “The futures of Public Health” setting out Core Public Health functions and the ten essential public health services. These Core Functions and Essential Services are presented in your textbook and discussed in lecture.

In this exercise you will review the current public health response to the Covid-19 outbreak and identify public health actions at the Federal and State/local level.The educational goal is to better understand the type of public health actions taken at both the State and Federal level.

Complete both tables as described here.You may use your home state or home country as indicated below.

Federal Level Public Health. (see attached Table 1)

 

  • Identify 3 Public Health Actions in each major Core Function.
  • For each public health action indicate:
    • Describe the action
    • Who is taking the action?(Which Federal Agency or other organization)
    • Explain why the action relates to the Core Function you identified.

How to Respond Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Patients

Kathy Michaels, a 37-year-old female, is talking with her gynecologist about concerns of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). She asks to be tested for STDs. Later, the nurse calls to discuss the results with Ms. Michaels, which indicate she is positive for HIV. Ms. Michaels states, “Oh no, I have AIDS!”

1. How should the nurse respond to Ms. Michaels’ statement?

2. Ms. Michaels seems relieved with the explanation and states “I am so glad it’s not AIDS. It’s just like an infection.” She then asks the nurse, “Can I take some antibiotics to kill the infection, then?” How should the nurse respond to Ms. Michaels’ question?

3. Again, Ms. Michaels indicates understanding of the nurse’s explanation. She then asks “Does this virus just remain the same in my body and nothing will happen, or will I be getting sick?”

How should the nurse respond to Ms. Michaels’ question?

The prenatal period and early years of life are crucial determinants of later cognitive and physical abilities, morbidity, mortality, mental health, and social abilities. There are multiple dimensions that influence the eventual outcomes of an individual’s overall health and well-being.

Focusing on the pediatric patient, select one of the topics below (please choose one that has not already been posted by another student) and discuss the current evidence-based recommendations by leading pediatric experts and professional organizations. Focus your discussion on guidelines for pediatric healthcare providers working in primary care.

  • Prenatal Health care
  • Recommended Prenatal maternal behaviors and practices
  • Anticipatory Guidance for Parents
  • The purpose of Well-Child visits
  • The benefits of Screening
  • Developmental Surveillance and monitoring
  • Safe Home environment
  • Proper nutrition

Cognitive Impairment and Anorexia Nervosa DSM Initial Video Diagnoses

/in /by

Please write a 1-2 page reflection after watching each video clip stating your initial diagnosis with differentials using only what the clip provides. Sometimes in practice we do not have all of the preferred information available and need to proceed with what we have available. List any symptoms that helped you to focus towards your diagnosis and why using the DSM 5. Clearly state what your diagnosis is. Then go ahead and list the differential diagnosis they are considering and give the rationale as to why they are considering those. What pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions would you recommend? Provide rationale and evidence to support your answer. Discuss treatment suggestions you have for this patient which may include medication suggestions with dosages, psychosocial and/or developmental considerations. (MO1, MO2, MO4, MO6, MO7) Include questions that you would want to ask to get more needed information and discuss how the timeline may be necessary to know for a specific diagnosis. As we know, timelines help differentiate disorders ;acute stress DO from PTSD, or schizoaffective versus schizophrenia, etc. To help ensure that you answer all of the required areas of the rubric structure your answers so the questions listed in the case studies are headings with your response under each question.

Ethics Decision Making

/in /by

A patient is in a coma that appears irreversible. His mother, who is his surrogate, firmly believes that he will recover and that God will work a miracle if everyone will just wait long enough. She wants everything done for the patient, including resuscitation if he arrests. She insists that he stay in the hospital, and is very upset that he has been transferred out of the ICU and his care moved to comfort measures, rather than aggressive treatment. The mother does not speak English but seems strong in her religious beliefs. The physicians for the patient are very upset and concerned about continuing to provide care that they believe is futile. The patient is developing a serious pneumonia, and the mother wants it treated aggressively. The physicians are reluctant. Analyze this case from the ethical principles of justice, benevolence, nonmalfeasance, and autonomy.

Tobacco Control Campaign

/in /by

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

 

Mass media tobacco control campaigns can reach large numbers of people. Much of the literature is focused on the effects of tobacco control advertising on young people. Still, there are also several evaluations of campaigns targeting adult smokers, which show mixed results. Campaigns may be local, regional, or national, and may be combined with other components of a comprehensive tobacco control policy.

There is evidence that comprehensive tobacco control programs, which include mass media campaigns, can be useful in changing smoking behavior in adults. Still, the evidence comes from a heterogeneous group of studies of variable methodological quality. One state‐wide tobacco control program (Massachusetts) showed positive results up to eight years after the campaign. Another (California) showed positive results during the period of adequate funding and implementation and in final evaluation since the beginning of the program. Six of nine studies carried out in communities or regions showed some positive effects on smoking behavior and at least one significant change in smoking prevalence (Sydney). The intensity and duration of mass media campaigns may influence effectiveness, but the length of follow‐up and contemporary secular trends and events can make this difficult to quantify. No consistent relationship was observed between campaign effectiveness and age, education, ethnicity, or gender (Bala et al, 2017).

part of the strategic planning process is to gather information

/in /by

Assignment Description

An integral part of the strategic planning process is to gather information. One method of doing this is by conducting a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. Now that you have reviewed your chosen standards, you will examine the impact of both internal and external forces on a hospital facility.

  • Conduct a SWOT analysis for your chosen facility that examines the forces that may affect the facility.
  • Be sure to pay particular attention to the issues of financing, productivity, and marketing, as well as others you feel have the potential to impact the facility.
  • Present your SWOT analysis using a standard SWOT analysis matrix.
  • Below your SWOT analysis, identify and discuss at least one issue from each section of your SWOT analysis in further detail in an effort to analyze why you feel the chosen issue may have the greatest impact on the facility.
    • When discussing your weakness and threats, be sure to include:
      • 1–2 goals that should be created to improve in these areas
      • A brief description (1–2 paragraphs) of a plan of action to improve in these areas that includes how you will accomplish the goals that you set in the first bullet point. In an action plan, there is usually a time frame, steps to how you plan to meet the goals you set, and how you will measure the goals.

PICOT is an acronym used to help develop clinical research questions and guide you in your search for evidence:

P = Patient population

I = Intervention or issue of interest

C = Comparison of interventions or comparison of interests

O = Outcome

T = Time frame

For example, you may wish to research the effects of interrupted sleep on cognition of ICU patients 65 or older.

Using this PICOT model,

In _________(P), how does __________ (I) compared to _________ (C) influence _________ (O) over ________ (T)?

In ICU patients who are 65 or older, how does interrupted sleep (awakened one time or more in four hours) as compared to uninterrupted sleep influence the patient’s cognitive ability over 5 days?
