Question 1—Preconception Counseling

 Preconception care has been around since the 1980s, however, a recent push across many nationally recognized professional practices, including the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), has been occurring (AAFP, 2015). This is largely due to the high rate of infant mortality, premature births, birth defects, and maternal deaths in the United States (AAFP, 2015). Preconception care refers is defined as: “individualized care for men and women that is focused on reducing maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, increasing the chances of conception when pregnancy is desired, and providing contraceptive counseling to help prevent unintended pregnancies” (AAFP, 2015, para. 1). The AAFP is pushing for family practice health care providers to play a larger role in preconception care to help improve the current statistics.

 As a future family nurse practitioner, I do not anticipate seeing a large population of women seeking maternity care; however, as the AAFP points out, family practice providers are the most frequent providers of ambulatory primary care services to women aged 18 to 44 (AAFP, 2015). This puts family care providers in a prime position to do the majority of the preconception interventions. Preconception interventions can occur during routine well-woman examinations and should include identifying childbearing goals, screening for risks that can impact pregnancies, and assisting women in making healthy changes before becoming pregnant.

 There are a number of important topics to discuss during preconception counseling. I will utilize the most current, evidence-based guidelines available when providing preconception counseling to a woman who is planning a pregnancy. At this time, I would plan to discuss the following: reproductive and pregnancy goals; nutrition (especially folic acid); contraception; weight concerns; family and genetic history; management of chronic diseases; medication use; smoking cessation; avoiding alcohol; avoiding other drugs; eliminating toxin exposures; updating immunizations if needed; screening for sexually transmitted infections; and screening for abuse (Fowler & Jack, 2018). These are all important topics to discuss, because they have an impact on fetal and maternal health. For women in the interconception phase, it is important that they be counseled on healthy pregnancy intervals (Fowler & Jack, 2018). For instance, short interval pregnancies of less than 18 months are associated with high rates of preterm births, premature rupture of membranes, maternal morbidity and mortality, third trimester bleeding, anemia, and myometritis (Fowler & Jack, 2018).

hi dear,

can help me to finish this assignment with good quality and be on time please?

The presentation is attached below to review.

  

Students will then choose one presentation (other than their own) to focus their review on. The review will describe the selected campaign, discuss campaign achievements, assess health promotion methods used and analyze if the selected methods are appropriate for each audience level. Lastly, students will identify and discuss an aspect of each campaign and its connection to the health communication campaign model; social marketing techniques; and/or advocacy concepts. 

One discussion board post required (no peer response posts needed). Use the bulleted outline to help you organize your responses. Address each of the aspects below for full credit.

Describe the campaign you chose to review and why you were interested in learning more about this campaign.

What were/are two of the campaign outcomes (achievements/success) connected to the campaign goals/objectives included in the presentation? Describe. If the campaign outcomes were not included, research the outcomes. Were you able to locate any? Describe.

Looking at three different audience levels in the presentation (for example, individual, organizational, community) locate and share one health promotion method utilized for each level (three total).  If the presentation does not describe one for each level, source an additional method from the CDC website and describe.

Discuss and describe why the method may, or may not be, the best for that specific audience level. Use your text or additional source to support your reasoning.

Discuss and explain one other aspect of the campaign that is connected to steps of the health communication campaign model; social marketing techniques and/or advocacy concepts. Review Chapters 4, 5, 13 and 14 to help you.

As with other discussion board posts, APA citations and references are required. View the rubric description in BB week four.

Thanks,

  

Reflect upon the key ideas: the challenges and implications of managing a multi-generational workforce, common generational differences, interventions for increasing generational motivation, and strategies for retaining the older nurse.

Reflect on your current organization or one with which you are familiar and determine the demographic breakdown of employees based on age. Then, consider how this specific work environment might present difficulties for older workers and think about factors that might cause these employees to leave your setting.

Use your own scholarly research, to identify strategies that could engage and retain this population of nurses.

To complete

Submit a 3- to 5-page paper in which you do the following:

Identify the demographic breakdown of employees in the organization. If you are unable to access exact demographical data, provide your best estimate for each of the following age ranges: 20–30, 30–40, 40–50, 50–60, and 60–70, and 70+.

Describe at least two ways the work environment is conducive to older workers and at least two difficulties it might present. Support your response by citing authentic examples from the workplace and this week’s Learning Resources as applicable.

Propose at least four specific strategies you could implement to engage and retain older workers.

Select a public health issue and write a 1,000-word policy brief that provides a brief summary of the issue, options to solve the issue, and the best way to solve this issue. Write on a public health issue GUN VOILENCE  from one of the following American Public Health Association websites: Climate Change (https://www.apha.org/topics-and-issues/climate-change) or  https://www.apha.org/topics-and-issues).

Follow this outline when writing the policy brief:

1. Identify issue.

2. Background information – (a) Population effected; (b) Local, state or national level; and (c) Evidence about the issues supported by resources

3. Problem statement.

4. Suggestions for addressing the issue (solutions) – (a) Including necessary stakeholders (government officials, administrator); and (b) Include budget or funding considerations, if applicable

5. Impact on the Health Care Delivery System

Include Four peer-reviewed sources and two other sources to support the policy brief.
