1. Mr. Smith, a 57-year-old patient, presents at a health fair asking questions about the age-appropriate health maintenance and promotion considerations he should be concerned about. He stated that he only goes to his physician when he is sick and the last time he saw his physician was 2 years ago when he had a sinus infection. 

1. What further assessment does the nurse need to make before designing a teaching plan?
2. What topics does the nurse need to include for Mr. Smith based on current medical recommendations?
3. Design a teaching plan that covers the topics.

2. The community health nurse is planning a health promotion workshop for a high school PTSO (Parent-Teacher-Student Organization). The choice of topics was suggested by the high school’s registered nurse who has observed a gradual increase in student obesity. The two nurses have collaborated to develop this workshop to provide parents, students, and teachers with information about the importance of health promotion. 

1. Describe the importance of a focus on health promotion.
2. According to the health promotion model developed by Becker (1993), what four variables influence the selection and use of health promotion behaviors?
3. Describe four components of health promotion.

Using ONLY the information provided (NOT CURRENT EVENTS) simply provide insight regarding whether a person should be allowed to have unlimited procedures or should there be a system for a gate keeper. Consider things such as cost, physical health risks, mental health risks, and underlying motivation for continued alterations.  Cite at least one reference to support your position.

support Use of Research Findings and other evidence in Clinical Decision Making

Choose 2 EBP resources influencing the care provided to your client. Discuss the similarities and differences that you read for those two EBP peer reviewed articles.

Submit scholarly paper, with writing style at the graduate level, including all of the following:

• Reviews topic and explains rationale for its selection in the context of client care.
• Evaluates key concepts related to the topic.
• Describes multiple viewpoints if this is a controversial issue or one for which there are no clear guidelines.
• Assesses the merit of evidence found on this topic i.e. soundness of research
• Evaluates current EBM guidelines, if available. Or, recommends what these guidelines should be based on available research.  Discuss the Standardized Procedure for this diagnosis.
• Discusses how the evidence did impact/would impact practice.  What should be done differently based on the knowledge gained?
• Consider cultural, spiritual, and socioeconomic issues as applicable

I selected type 1 Hypertesion, plz see attached soap note. 

4-Technology play a very core role in the process of being able to implement projects. Further, through technology, projects can be sustained and maintained so that they are able to be achieved. Through the use of technology, implementation is easier and also more effective. Therefore, one has to look for the best form of technology that can help in the implementation or supporting the project to ensure that the implementation goes as smoothly as possible (Powell-Cope, Nelson, Patterson, 2008). The project that I will be handling looks to establish whether the involvement of healthcare facilities in nursing education can be able to help reduce the shortage of nurses that the country is facing currently. Technology in this project can be used in monitoring whether the involvement of healthcare facilities in nursing education will help to reduce the shortage of nurses in the country.

The best technology to use in the monitoring of the progress of this project is through use of data collection from every facility and the action they are making and the number of nurses it helps to bring to the workforce. The actions that facilities can take are very many, therefore one has to monitor which action results in a higher number of nurses to the workforce. The best action can then be selected through the evaluation and analysis of the data that is collected. However, there are barriers to the use of this technology. One of the barriers is the lack of sufficient information from the facilities on what actions they are taking and the number of nurses they are able to successfully help to bring to the workforce (Powell-Cope, Nelson, Patterson, 2008). Therefore, one of the barrier is the lack of sufficient information to help in monitoring.

5-The use of technology is very necessary in this time and age. As healthcare continue to grow and improve, so do the use of technology need to change to improve the implementation process and the outcomes of EBP projects. In my project, I am going to be using the Electronic Health Record to collect useful data for my project. Accessing the HER will give me an overview of useful information about patient safety, evaluating care quality, maximizing efficiency, and measuring staffing needs (ANA, 2015) which are some of the issues related to fall. I will also implement the use of Information and Communication Technology to access adequate EBP evidence that pertain to my project. ICT will enable me to obtain lots of relevant information through the internet on my project.

6- it sounds like you are doing a qualitative research project and with that you will need the internet to gather material related to your study. The use of technology is essential for EBP as it help us learn new things through different ways. Before online and distant learning was not possible, today students are able to study anywhere anytime. Also we needed to go to the hospital for every little thing so the doctor or nurse can check us out; but today we can do everything in the comfort of our homes. This is amazing and I am looking forwards to see what the future holds for nursing with technology.

All health care organizations display characteristics related to service delivery, financing, payment solutions, and insurance relationships. Which of these can a health care organization most effectively harness in order to become the provider of choice for the largest variety of patrons? Why?

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review this week’s Learning Resources.

Post by Day 3: 

Conduct a web-based search and review and locate two healthcare organizations that you may know locally, regionally or nationally. You can choose one organization that is for-profit and the other one is not-for-profit. Integrated health delivery system vs. a standalone community hospital. For the purpose of this discussion, there many ways that you can select your two organizations for this discussion question assignment.

Describe briefly the two selected organizations including their organizational structure and governance.

Distinguish the different types of organizational structure for these selected organizations.

Assess the impact of the organizational structures on these organizations’ leadership management, access to capital and financial resources, etc.

Support your post with specific examples. 

Respond by Day 5 and continue the Discussion through Day 7: 

Expand on this Discussion by highlighting differences between your posting and your colleagues’ postings. Provide additional insights or alternative perspectives, especially regarding how the current and predicted shortages in primary care providers will impact access to care.

The initial post must require a minimum of four (4) current quality references. Including references in your replies to classmates is optional but recommended.

Your initial answer must be 250-300 words not counting the list of references. Your replies to other classmates’ posts need to be at least 100 words per post.

Focus on presenting in your posts critical ideas and synthesis and less on stating and describing.

Support your post by specific examples.
