Assignment Content

  1. Read the following scenario:
    Data has been collected to identify specific cases of people who are infected with a dangerous virus. Your organization has an interest in knowing where the population is most affected in an effort to move resources to areas that need them. Create a bar chart using Microsoft Excel® and the data provided in the Cases by City document to identify the cities with the highest counts of cases.

Implications of Health Determinants Discussion

/in /by

Post an analysis of the implications of this social determinant on population health outcomes. Then, describe how your selected social determinant of population health influences and shapes the present condition and the future course of your community.

The health care administrator is often seen as a pillar of the community. Therefore, it is essential that an administrator be knowledgeable about the infrastructure of the community he or she serves. According to the American College of Healthcare Executives’ (ACHE) Code of Ethics, the health care administrator has a responsibility to the community and society to:

  • Work to identify and meet the health care needs of the community
  • Work to support access to health care services for all people
  • Encourage and participate in public dialogue on health care policy issues and advocate solutions that will improve health status and promote quality health care
  • Apply short- and long-term assessments to management decisions affecting both community and society
  • Provide prospective patients and others with adequate and accurate information, enabling them to make enlightened decisions regarding services (American College, 2014)

Based on ACHE’s Code of Ethics, health care administrators consider the impact of the social determinants of health on their communities as they plan initiatives, programs, and policies for their targeted population.

For this Discussion, consider your local community. Select one social determinant of health that you believe applies to your local community and discuss how it affects population health.

Confounding Variables Public Health Research Paper

/in /by

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

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

 

These estimates include the influence of other extraneous variables, such as confounders. Confounding is often considered a type of bias, but it is a real relationship that requires an adjustment in the study design or analysis. Understanding how to identify confounding is important as most associations have multiple causal factors. Recognizing if a study adjusted for the appropriate confounding variables is important to determine the validity of the association. To assist your proficiency with the concept of confounding, and how it ultimately affects public health, this practice assignment has been provided.

Complete Problems 1 to 4 from the “Multicausality: Confounding – Assignment” by Schoenbach, located BELOW. Check your answers against the solutions presented in the “Multicausality: Confounding – Assignment Solutions” BELOW .

You are required to cite at least FOUR sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the discussion question criteria and public health content.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is not required.

While APA style is required, solid academic writing is expected as well, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.

 

PLEASE make sure APA citation and permalink for articles are complete and correct.

 

PLEASE add the links/sites below to the reference list if you use any of these readings and make sure everything is in proper APA format.

Various chronic diseases and disorders can affect our immune, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems, as described in Chapters 14, 15 and 16 of your course text. In your initial post:

  • Briefly describe the normal function of these three systems and associated organs.
  • Choose and briefly describe one chronic disease or disorder for each of the three systems and explain how the diseases/disorders alter the normal function.
  • Examine potential causes for the disease or disorder and list signs and symptoms that indicate the disease has developed.
  • Analyze actions people can take to reduce their risk of developing the chronic disease or disorder. Briefly explain how these actions would impact the environment.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Use medical terminology, your course text, and at least one additional scholarly resource to support your points. All sources must be referenced and cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center .

Guided Response: A comorbidity is a co-existing or additional disease to the original disease examined. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, comorbidities are “interactions between the illnesses that affect the course and prognosis of both” (2010, para. 1). Read several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers. Each response will address comorbidities associated with the disease chosen by your classmate. List signs and symptoms associated with the comorbidity. List factors that contribute to the comorbidity’s development as well as steps the person can take to avoid the development of the problem. Each peer response should be at least 100 words in length and should be supported by one scholarly source.

Brief description of the normal function of the immune, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems and associated organs:

Normal function of the Immune system:

Normal function of the Gastrointestinal system:

Normal function of the Urinary system:

Brief description of a chronic disease for the immune, GI, and urinary systems along with information on how normal function is altered/impacted due to the disease:

A chronic disease of the Immune system:

This disease impacts immune system function by

Potential causes for the disease or disorder

Signs and symptoms that indicate the disease has developed

Actions people can take to reduce their risk of developing this disease

Briefly describe the normal function of these three systems and associated organs:

The Immune System functions consist of a series of cells, chemicals, and barriers that protect the body from invasion by pathogens (Colbert et al. , 2013) The associated organs are Lymphoid Organs, Bone Marrow, Thymus, Lymph Nodes, Spleen, Tonsils, and Mucous membranes. The Gastrointestinal systems functions consist of Ingestion, Mastication Digestion, Secretion, Absorption, and Excretion (defecation) (Colbert et al. , 2013) The associated organs are the Salivary glands, Liver, Gallbladder, and the pancreas. Lastly, the Urinary System functions consist of making urine, thereby controlling the body’s fluid and electrolyte (ion) balance, eliminating waste products, and removing nitrogen-containing wastes, certain salts, and excess water from the blood through excretion. (Colbert et al, 2013) The associated organs are the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
