Assessment Instructions 

Preparation

Suppose that within your health care organization there is no formal process or structure for health care professionals to volunteer time and services in times of global need. You would like to develop a proposal for establishing a process that would allow nurses and other health care professionals to secure time off to work with a specific worldwide organization, to provide health care services during global events. As part of the proposal, you would need to provide background research to support your request.

Conduct background research on either one of the following to support the proposal you would develop:

• Choose one worldwide epidemic, such as the 2009 flu pandemic, 2009 mumps outbreak, 2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus outbreak, the recent Ebola virus epidemic, or another epidemic. Research articles that focus on how the initial outbreak was handled; the role of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender in responding to the outbreak; barriers to people receiving proper health care; and the role of nursing in providing health care services related to the epidemic.
• Choose one natural disaster, such as the earthquakes in Haiti, Pakistan, or Nepal; Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar; the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, or any other natural disaster that brought a worldwide response. Research articles that focus on the initial response to the disaster; the role of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender in responding to the disaster; barriers to survivors receiving health care; and the role of nursing in providing health care services related to the disaster.

Requirements

For this assessment, develop background research that would support a proposal for an organizational process allowing health care professionals to volunteer time and services when global events happen. First, identify the global event you will be using in your research, and then:

• Explain how the local and national (meaning the nation in which the event took place) communities responded to the event. Who responded? How long did the first response take? How did health care providers respond?
• Explain how social attitudes, as well as issues of race, class, gender, or other factors may have influenced the response to the event. Be sure you consider not only the response of the home country, but the global response as well.
• Describe barriers to health care services for the people impacted by the event. Some barriers may be obvious, and other barriers less obvious; try to consider multiple aspects.
• Explain the role of international health organizations and altruistic organizations in providing health care services related to the global event.
• Explain the role of the professional nurse in providing health care services related to the global event. Consider scope of practice when working professionally out of one’s area of license—either nationally or globally.

Additional Requirements

Complete your assessment using the following specifications:

• Title page and reference page.
• Number of pages: 5–6 (not  including the title and reference pages).
• At least 4 current scholarly or professional resources.
• APA format for the entire document, including citations and references.
• Times New Roman font, 12-point, double-spaced.

Topic: Servant Leadership from a Christian Perspective: The Issue of Provision

                                          Leadership Journal: Purpose

Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to “connect the dots” and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes.

Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this Leadership Journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.

Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.

Write a journal entry of 1000-1,500 words on the subject of purpose, including the following:

1. Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 5-6.

2. Describe how your nurse leader’s leadership style affects the people the nurse leads. Do staff members express feelings of support and helpfulness? Are there examples of leading rather than dictating? Did the leader say or do things designed to “build up” staff or were there missed opportunities?

3. Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Issue of Rule” video

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

The American Cancer Society estimates that by the end of 2012, more than 226,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 241,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (American Cancer Society, 2012a; American Cancer Society 2012b). With such prevalence of women’s and men’s cancers, patient education and preventive services are essential. In clinical settings, advanced practice nurses must assist physicians in educating patients on risk factors, preventive services, and for patients diagnosed with cancer, on potential drug treatments. The clinical implications of women’s and men’s cancer greatly depend on early detection, which is primarily achieved through preventive services. In this Assignment, you consider the short-term and long-term implications of cancer and drug treatments associated with women’s and men’s health, as well as appropriate preventive services.

To prepare:

• Select a type of cancer associated      with women’s or men’s health such as breast, cervical, or ovarian cancer      in women and prostate cancer in men.
• Locate and review articles examining      the type of cancer you selected.
• Review the U.S. Preventive Services      Task Force article in the Learning Resources. Think about available      preventive services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of      this type of cancer.
• Select two of the following factors:      genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how these      factors might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Consider drug treatment options for      patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected including      short-term and long-term implications of the treatments.

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe available preventive      services that providers might recommend for patients at risk of the type      of cancer you selected.
• Explain how the factors you selected      might impact decisions related to preventive services.
• Describe drug treatment options for      patients diagnosed with the type of cancer you selected. Explain the short-term      and long-term implications of these treatments.
