This catastrophic earthquake took place on January 12, 2010, in the country of Haiti. With a magnitude of 7.0. on the Richter scale, this earthquake took many lives. An international relief operation was initiated soon after the earthquake happened. The United States sent thousands of military troops to Haiti to provide resources, help with finding lost loved ones and friends and help sustain peace.

According to Green (2018), “Primary prevention in disaster management involves planning prior to the disaster.” Thinking of the situation that is taking place and planning how to overcome the obstacles to help treat and save people. For instance, access to surgical, medical and emergency equipment, plans set in place to handle burns, trauma or other issues that might occur. Access needs to also be available to medications like antibiotics and IV fluid. Additionally, Green (2018) adds that “Secondary prevention may occur when the onset of the disaster has occurred or within hours of its impact; this is when the response occurs during a disaster.” This could be priority immunizations, including mass vaccination campaigns for tetanus immunization as part of wound care. This happens in the second phase to insure that once people are not in danger, they do not get an infection from a secondary situation. Secondary situations to educate on would be wound care and proper dressing change Finally, Green (2018 ) describes the last stage as “Tertiary prevention occurs after the offending event has ceased and the focus is on recovery.” This stage is when the recovery process begins. The duration of the recovery phase varies and can focus on the mental health of persons involved in the tragedy. Spiritual guidance and prayer are highly recommended at this stage to help people cope with the disaster.

There are many organizations that manage a crisis to this magnitude. One organization that I would work with is FEMA. FEMA is trained to respond to crisis situations and has a protocol already in place to follow to ensure the safest and most effective rescue and treatment for the public. I would also work with the American Red Cross. This organization is also highly trained to deal with disaster situations and getting proper supplies to people in need. I would also work with community churches and faith-based organizations to help people spiritually and mentally.

IOM Future of Nursing Report and Nursing 

            

Review the IOM report, “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health,” and explore the “Campaign for Action: State Action Coalition” website. In a 1,000-1,250 word paper, discuss the influence the IOM report and state-based action coalitions have had on nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing workforce development, and how they continue to advance the goals for the nursing profession.

Include the following:

1. Describe the work of the Robert Wood Foundation Committee Initiative that led to the IOM report, “Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.”
2. Outline the four “Key Messages” that structure the IOM Report recommendations. Explain how these have transformed or influenced nursing practice, nursing education and training, nursing leadership, and nursing workforce development. Provide examples.
3. Discuss the role of state-based action coalitions. Explain how these coalitions help advance the goals specified in the IOM report, “Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.”
4. Research the initiatives on which your state’s action coalition is working. Summarize two initiatives spearheaded by your state’s action coalition. Discuss the ways these initiatives advance the nursing profession.
5. Describe barriers to advancement that currently exist in your state and explain how nursing advocates in your state overcome these barriers.

On your discussion this week answer the following questions:

1) What is the U.S. Preventive Task Force (USPTF)?

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in disease prevention and evidence-based medicine. The Task Force works to improve the health of all Americans by making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services.

   2. ) Select a disease for example colon cancer and discuss the screening age recommendations and the screening tools recommended for early prevention?

Adults age ≥40 years in average-risk or unselected populations; screening populations (i.e., no symptoms) Populations selected for personal or family history of colorectal cancer (e.g., one or more first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer diagnosed before age 60 years or two or more first-degree relatives diagnosed at any age), known genetic susceptibility syndromes (e.g., Lynch Syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis), or personal history of inflammatory bowel disease; nonscreening populations (e.g., persons who have symptoms, test positive on screening, have iron deficiency anemia, or are under surveillance for a previous colorectal lesion)

Settings       Settings representative of community practice for flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy studies; studies conducted in developed countries (categorized as “very high” on the 2017 Human Development Index, as defined by the United Nations Development Programme)       Primarily research-based settings for endoscopy studies (e.g., small studies aimed at evaluating new endoscopy technologies, studies with operator or resource characteristics that are not applicable to community practice); developing countries

Screening tests    

KQ 1: Any program of colorectal cancer screening, including endoscopy, imaging, urine, stool, or serum testing

KQs 2–3:

Direct visualization tests:

Colonoscopy

Flexible sigmoidoscopy

Computed tomography colonography

Capsule endoscopy*

Stool-based tests:

High-sensitivity guaiac fecal occult blood test

Fecal immunochemical test (quantitative and qualitative testing)

Multitarget stool DNA test (with or without fecal immunochemical testing)

Serum-based test:

Circulating methylated septin 9 gene DNA test (mSEPT9)*

Urine-based test

KQs 2, 3: New technologic enhancements to colonoscopy or computed tomography colonography; Hemoccult II (review of test performance and harms limited to include only high-sensitivity guaiac fecal occult blood test); stool testing using in-office digital rectal examination; double-contrast barium enema; magnetic resonance colonography

Comparisons       

KQ 1: No screening or alternate screening strategy

KQ 2: Diagnostic accuracy studies that use colonoscopy as a reference standard

KQ 3: No comparator necessary

Outcomes  

KQ 1: Colorectal cancer incidence (by stage and location) or interval colorectal cancer; colorectal cancer–specific or all-cause mortality

KQ 2: Test accuracy, including: sensitivity and specificity (per person for all tests and per lesion for direct visualization tests), positive and negative predictive value (per person for all tests and per lesion for direct visualization tests), and false-positive and false-negative rates for identifying colorectal cancer, advanced adenoma (high-grade dysplasia, villous histology, or size ≥10 mm), or adenomatous or sessile serrated polyps by size (i.e., ≤5 mm, 6 to 9 mm, ≥10 mm) or by location (e.g., proximal or distal colon, rectum)

KQ 3: Serious harms requiring unexpected or unwanted medical attention (e.g., requiring hospitalization) and/or resulting in death, including but not limited to perforation, major bleeding, severe abdominal symptoms, cardiovascular events; extracolonic findings, and subsequent diagnostic workup, and adverse events from diagnostic testing for incidental findings on computed tomography colonography; radiation exposure per each computed tomography colonography examination

KQ 1: Incidence of adenomas or advanced neoplasia (composite outcome of advanced adenomas and colorectal cancer)

KQ 3: Minor harms, defined as those not necessarily needing or resulting in medical attention (e.g., patient dissatisfaction, anxiety or worry, minor gastrointestinal complaints)

Study design        

All KQs: Fair- to good-quality studies

KQ 1: Randomized, controlled trials; controlled clinical trials; prospective cohort studies

KQ 2: Randomized, controlled trials; controlled clinical trials; cohort studies; nested case-control diagnostic accuracy studies; and screening registry studies

KQ 3: Randomized, controlled trials; controlled clinical trials; large screening registry or database observational studies; cohort studies; and systematically selected case series

All KQs: Poor-quality studies

KQ 1: Decision analyses†

KQ 2: Diagnostic accuracy studies without a reference standard or without representation of a full spectrum of disease (e.g., case-control studies, studies that excluded indeterminate results)

KQ 3: Case st
