According to the American Diabetes Association (2011), 25.8 million children and adults have been diagnosed with diabetes in the United States. Approximately 2 million more are diagnosed every year, with another 79 million people considered to be in a pre-diabetes state. These millions of people are at risk of several alterations, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. Since diabetes has a major impact on the health of millions of people around the world, it is essential for nurses to understand the pathophysiology and associated alterations of this disorder. In this Discussion, you compare two types of diabetes—diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.

To Prepare

• Review Chapter 19 in the Huether and McCance text and Chapter 18 in the Hammer and McPhee text. Identify the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Consider the similarities and differences between resulting alterations of hormonal regulation.
• Select two of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factors you selected might impact the diagnosis and prescription of treatment for these two types of diabetes.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Describe the differences and similarities between resulting alterations of hormonal regulation. Then explain how the factors you selected might impact the diagnosis and prescription of treatment for these two types of diabetes.

 Teamwork.

Think back to your most recent time in the clinical setting when another discipline (respiratory, physical therapy, nutrition, occupational therapy) was utilized.
Describe a form of interdisciplinary collaborative care you’ve seen on your current assigned clinical or work site. Then have a discussion about the following questions:

• Who coordinated that care? What was the nurse’s role in ascertaining that the care was provided?
• Was the patient’s outcome met? How or why not? What would you, a novice nurse-leader, have done differently to achieve the patient’s goals?

I need about 120 words for each of these assignments with each individual references 

MODULE 1

Topic 1: Introduction to Public Health

DQ 1

In reviewing the Affordable Care Act, what are the potential effects of the options for insurance coverage in both the private and public sectors? How will this impact the discussion about population-based nursing?

DQ 2

Identify a population-based problem of interest, such as obesity among children. After reviewing topical information in Healthy People 2020 and The Community Guide to Preventive Services, identify relevant outcomes related to this problem that will help guide your plans for intervention.

MODULE 2

Topic 2: Measures of Health I: Exploring Epidemiological, Biostatistical, Occupational, and Environmental Data

DQ 1

How could you use descriptive epidemiological methods in your practice? Provide an example where you could use descriptive epidemiology to improve care. Explain your rationale.

DQ 2

Which epidemiological study design would you use to evaluate an intervention in your practice? Provide a description of the chosen population and the identified intervention. Provide support as to why you believe that the design you chose is the best option including the strengths and weaknesses of the design you have chosen.

MODULE 3

Topic 3: Measures of Health II: Exploring Epidemiological, Biostatistical, Occupational, and Environmental Data

DQ 1

Provide examples of measures that APNs can collaborate with direct care nurses in implementing evidence-based changes to improve health literacy in practice.

DQ 2

Describe an example where a patient’s culture could impact health literacy. What measures would you employ to address the health literacy barrier? How effective is the current protocol for implementing practice changes in your institution? Examine any barriers and the facilitators for implementing an evidence-based change in your specific setting?

MODULE 4

Topic 4: Globalization: Advanced Nursing Practice Within Global Health Systems

DQ 1

What do you see as the largest health concern affecting underdeveloped countries? What role does the DNP play in eradicating this concern? What would be first steps?

DQ 2

In the assigned article, “Attention to Local Health Burden and the Global Disparity of Health Research,” the authors discussed the lack of attention given to global health crisis research. What areas can the DNP address that will promote health in correlation with the WHO’s Commission on Social Determinants of Health?

MODULE 5

Topic 5: Social Justice, Equity, and Ethics in Health Care

DQ 1

Analyze the ANA’s definition of the nurse’s role in in ethics and human rights and the role of the DNP in eliminating health disparities.

DQ 2

Provide an evaluation of the current political climate related to health care and define how the DNP can positively impact through policy or advocacy.

MODULE 6

Topic 6: Evaluation of Clinical Prevention and Population Health Data

DQ 1

In creating a new community-based health program, what program development model would you use? What recommendations would you employ for making the program development successful?

DQ 2

How can large, aggregated databases be used to improve population health?

MODULE 7

Topic 7: Evidence-Based Recommendations for Health Promotion and Risk Reduction

DQ 1

Provide an overview of the program evaluation model and health promotion theory you will use in your proposed community project. Explain your rationale for your choices?

DQ 2

Provide an analysis of your surveyed community and what health-related community need is present. Define the methodology of the health improvement program you will use to solve this problem also include a time line. Include any higher level of care management and policy decision that APNs who work in the community would need to be partner with either community-based consortiums or health care policy makers.

MODULE 8

Topic 8: Building Culturally Diverse Health Care Systems

DQ 1

Complete the “Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist” on the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society website: 

http://www.coloradoedinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cultural-competence-self-assessment-checklist.pdf

Discuss the knowledge gained and its implications for further personal growth and application in your practice.

DQ 2

Evaluate the implications of individual culture on health literacy and the role of the DNP in providing opportunities to improve levels of knowledge. Why is this relevant to the DNP and population health?

Examine and research 1 chronic disease (e.g., heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, obesity) and write a paper that discusses the following:

• A comparison of 2 health care policies that are in place (either at the state or federal level) that address the disease
• The impact the disease has had on the U.S. population and health care system as a whole
• Strategies that are in place to educate and promote prevention of the disease through public health at the federal and state levels
• Any challenges and progress to date that has been made in preventing and reducing health risks associated with the disease
• 2–3 strategies that may increase awareness, education, and prevention of that disease

Write a paper of 5-6 pages, not including title page and reference page.

 With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have revealed an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials.

In the simulation, you learned how an influenza virus impacted the community. Provide a PDF report of your completed activities.

In this task, also analyze an outbreak of a specific global communicable disease that occurred in the last 50 years that crossed international borders (e.g., the measles outbreak that moved from the Philippines to the United States)
