DQ#2 Discuss the concepts of meditation and how they may assist in helping your patient deal with stress/anxiety.

Meditation is part of the Ayurvedic Medicine in CAM. Meditation consists in the focused concentration of the mind in a specific space where thoughts have no place. Meditation is practiced with the end of relieving mental pressure and stress. This Ayurvedic therapy can be practiced in any place at any time, preferably using a quiet environment to focus the five senses of our body in the current activity and to avoid distraction or stimulation of our senses. Fontaine, K. (2019).

I believe Meditation can help our patients in a positive way. When a person suffers a state of illness the first reaction of our mind, in most of the cases, is to worry and think about any complication that illness can bring. During Hospitalization the patient goes through a process that first of all, requires a different environment, the fact that physicians and nurses go in and out the room with different explanations, treatment and interventions can be also very stressful and sometimes the process is harder because an excess of stress and tension is experienced during this time.Jansen, E. (2017).

 Therefore, meditation can be very helpful in a state of illness, through the practice of this therapy the person can be able to relief stress and be able to cope easily with the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. I believe that nurses could make a big impact on patients by teaching them how to mediate in such a stressful time, this practice could bring many benefits to the patient’s psychological state.Jansen, E. (2017).

In this writing assignment, you will analyze the ethical concerns related to distributive justice.

Step 1:  Read the following case study

Background

The public health system in the United States has long been underfunded.  Analyses by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have found that federal, state, and local health departments often are hampered by limited funds and consequently unable to carry out core functions.1

Budget shortfalls pose difficult decisions for local health departments about which programs will be discontinued.  These decisions are often “tragic choices” in which programs that are valuable for the community’s health must be sacrificed in order for other programs and services to survive.

In response to chronic underfunding and pressing health needs, public health agencies increasingly are looking to the private sector as a funding source, and  in some instances public health organizations have developed partnerships with the private sector as a way to achieve important health goals.  These public-private partnerships (PPP) have been promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and have played an instrumental role in addressing global health issues, such as access to drugs and vaccines in poor countries.2,3 

Case Description

You are the director of a local public health department facing a significant decrease in state funds for the coming financial year.  The budget cuts threaten a major health promotion initiative developed in response to a recent study showing that rates of obesity are particularly high in your area.  The planned initiative targets childhood obesity, and has received significant input and support from the local community.  After budget cuts are implemented the cost of the initiative will exceed the department’s available funds for health promotion activities. 

A national company that makes products for the diet industry, including diet shakes and other meal supplements, has offered money to your department for health promotion activities in your community.  Many of this company’s products promote extreme diets and dieting techniques.  The funds offered will enable the department to implement its planned initiative targeting childhood obesity.

In exchange for the funds the company wants their logo to be used on all educational materials distributed to the community.

Step 2: In a 500+ word paper discuss the following:

1. Analyze the impending budget cuts and the impact to the community.
2. Compare and contrast the potential risks and benefits for the local community of a partnership between the diet products company and the health department
3. Identify if any ethical conflicts are present in the case. If so, what ethical concerns are present?
4. Make a recommendation based on your ethical approach.

In a 2-page paper, describe the historical development of the quality management process in nursing and the role of health care regulatory agencies in the quality management process. 

Paper requires a minimum of two references: One from a peer-reviewed NURSING journal (must be less than 5 years old) and one from the course textbook (titled: Professional Nursing Practice by Kathleen Koernig Blais and Janis H Hayes. Book relevant pages provided in the attachments)

APA format required. Plagarism free required. One reference must be cited from the book pages provided. Assignment due today at 9pm

Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate primary diagnosis.
Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

• Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life? 
• Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?  
• Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
• Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
