Identify one person from the illness group you chose in Week 1 to interview. The person should not be a patient at the facility in which you work. You can use friends, family members, or coworkers. Do not use the person’s name in the paper, only initials.

Administer the questionnaire you created in Week 1 to that person and address the following:

• Compile the data and analyze the responses to better illustrate where this person, his or her family, and friends are in relation to accepting the diagnosis in relation to the standard health or illness definitions.
  • The analysis should also include coping skills, treatment, and support aspects of the illness.
• Explain how this information will direct care plan development for the chosen illness group.
• Include a copy of the interview you created with the responses from the person interviewed in an Appendix.

Support your responses with examples and information from library resources, textbook and lectures.

In a Microsoft Word document of 2-3 pages formatted in APA style, you will answer three questions related to your opportunity as a nurse and an advocate. The first two questions relate to influencing a bill that is traveling through the legislative process. The third question refers you to the social determinants of health and asks you to think specifically on your role as a nurse in influencing social determinants of health.

Answer the following questions:

• What parts of the lawmaking process does a nurse have an opportunity to influence the final bill passage?
• List at least two ways that this influence can take place. In your opinion, would one way be preferable over the other?
• Reviewing the social determinants of health, select one to respond to this question:
  • What role can nurses play in promoting health status through policy changes directly affecting this social determinant?

Write each question as a new topic area and then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. You may find it necessary to search for answers to the questions outside of the assigned reading.
