The lower your baby’s weight the greater their risk of complications. Low birth weight has higher risk of developmental difficulties, health complications, and premature death than babies born at normal weight. Families of children with very low birth weight experience more distress and burden. Especially in cases of prematurity, neonatal medical complications, and long hospitalization. Which leads more symptoms of depression on family. The socio-economic differences in birth weight are associated by maternal lifestyle, like alcohol intake, exposure to smoking impact toward low birth weight. Beside that mothers at lower socioeconomic levels, characterized by less education, inadequate care during pregnancy, unemployment and smoking leads adverse birth outcomes. There is a strong need for an ongoing care and have access to improved health, prenatal care and healthier lifestyle before and during pregnancy.

Some minority populations (African American, native American), diverse cultures and low economic levels of woman are at greater risks for poor birth outcomes. The percentage of low birth weight for non-Hispanic black or African American nearly double that of non-Hispanic whites (13.6% vs 7.0%). Other populations like Puerto Ricans (9.7%), Filipinos (8.6%), Japanese (7.6%) and American Indians (7.2%).

Effect of extremely low birth weight babies on family and community

Having a low birth child comes with a lot of mental pressure to parents and families. This is because families feel they have lost what would have been a healthy member. Low weight babies come with a lot of burden to families. Sometimes parents must take unpaid off and leave from work to take care for their loved ones. This leads to lose of income which impacts on the family’s ability to afford basic needs. Again, it comes in with increased debt as the cost of treatment is high, (Lakshmanan et al, 2017). Low birth weight babies have increased risk of contracting other diseases as their bodies immune system is weak. Most of the babies end up readmitted in hospital again thus creating more financial worries and burden. It does also come with social isolation in some cultures as its associated with bad omen.

Besides the financial and social effects, low birth weight has long term health effects. These babies suffer delayed milestones which affects their intellectual, mental and physical growth. Some end up becoming a burden to their families because despite reaching adulthood they must be cared for like small children.

Ethnic disparities have direct impact on low birth weight babies. This is associated with socio economic factors which directly or indirectly contribute to families having low birthweight babies.

Support services for preterm infants and their families

We have several organizations which advance welfare of preterm babies. One is the Grahams foundation. This organization does support, inform and offer guidance to families of premature babies. This is achieved through collaboration with communities and parents to improve wellbeing of the babies and their families. (Adopted from Graham foundation webpage)

Assignment: Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
• Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
• Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

• Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
• Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
• Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.
• Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

 Initial Post:

Art is a range of human activities that are often diverse and creates auditory and visual artifacts that express technical, conceptual, and imaginative ideas. Ideas and creativity and the nature of art concepts have changed over the years (Arnold, 2013). Arts help in building the community by providing a rich and nourishing spiritual meal that is often underrated. Music is one of the significant forms of art that highly influence society. Arts include a combination of instrumental and vocal sounds, beauty and expression, melody, rhythm, and melody according to societal standards. Music is a powerful way to reach the heart and ears of humans, and therefore musicians should use this art to create awareness about social issues. The video is a good demonstration of how Elaine and Benoit have changed the community. The community in Orlando was culturally impoverished, and the couple created a custom of performing music. The neighborhood felt an intimate experience and promoted creativity.

Musicians and artists often chose to utilize, humanize, and invigorates public spaces. Places with strong art expressions break the trend of sameness and blandness, which give communities a stronger sense of identity (Arnold, 2013). Therefore, a song focused on social issues will be more effective in public places than private venues. In public forums, art presentation is the type of messages exhibited is accompanied by fewer restrictions as their creative vision is into the civic decision-making process. 

Benoit and Elaine are a perfect example of how art can build a society and change the community perspective. If given a chance, I would create a public venue that will be used for dances. The site would be based on genuine enthusiasm and support on developing talents. The dance venue’s goal would be to encourage more people to participate by providing financial incentives promoting social cohesion and cultivating a healthy relationship. Moreover, the priority of the venue would be to address themes and social injustices issues. The dance art initiative will focus on racial equality. This will reflect on the ideas of performances, which will ensure that racial equality is well comprehended and become a societal norm.

Peer Response:

Respond meaningfully to one peer post considering the following: 

• Compare and contrast your position on why musicians use their music to raise awareness on different social issues.  Could the example your peer provided also be used to make the case for your own beliefs?  What is that saying about the rise (or fall) of social justice issues?
• How did your perspective on the use of public spaces for social justice awareness agree or disagree with your peer?  Discuss where limits might need to be set (late night hours, children hearing foul language, etc.)
• Share your viewpoint on the venue your peer would want to create.  Name 2 or 3 specific ways they might get the project off and running.
