Health Interventions and Outcomes Presentation

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to impact health outcomes through population-level health assessment and intervention. This assignment will allow for a discovery into a selected practice problem, encompassing social determinant risk factors, an evidence-based population health intervention, and relevant measurable goals and objectives. Formulation of an Infographic Kaltura video presentation supports professional formation, communication, and dissemination skills relevant to the DNP practice scholar. This assignment has three components: first, identify a practice problem and related population health intervention as directed in the Week 5 Discussion launch question; second, design an Infographic incorporating Week 5 Discussion content; and, third, create a professional Kaltura video presentation to disseminate this information. Course Outcomes This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes: CO1: Formulate strategies for providing culturally-relevant and high-quality healthcare for vulnerable and highrisk populations. (PO 1) CO3: Assimilate epidemiology principles and interventions to impact population healthcare outcomes. (PO 1) CO5: Evaluate the impact of the global burden of diseases on population health. (PO 1) Preparing the Assignment Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

The causal agents of disease in plants humans and other animals

It is well documented that some bacteria and some viruses are the causal agents of disease in plants, humans and other animals. These pathogens are not only distinct from each other but have great diversity even within their own domains.

Briefly ( no more than a few sentences) describe the major differences between bacteria and viruses, this will include information on their basic structure and genetic material. Choose an example of a bacteria and an example of a virus that can cause illness in humans and compare the contribution each type of organism makes to the disease process. e.g. How they infect and enter the host, what happens to infected cells or tissues, what causes the pathology and how they spread to another host.

Again, this can be fairly brief, it is more important that you understand the general processes involved rather than knowing the fine details. Consider the most prevalent infectious diseases around today. Are they caused by viruses or bacteria? ( this may alter depending on your geographic location) Which one of these types of pathogen ( if either) do you consider to be the more effective in its mechanism of spread and survival and do you consider viruses or bacteria to be a greater threat to the health of modern man? Be sure to properly cite any outside sources you use.

Escherichia coli is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness, yet it is also a common microorganism found within the human gut. What explains this disparity?

2.   
There are several foods and beverages listed in this lab (milk & yogurt) that are created through the actions of microorganisms. Name five of the foods and the specific microorganisms that are used to make each of them.

3.   
Using an online research tool such as the A-Z index on the CDC website, explain why Listeria monocytogenes is a major threat to pregnant women and their developing fetuses, who are ten times more likely to get sick than other demographic groups.

The greatest challenges you will face as a healthcare manager is motivating your employees

Description One of the greatest challenges you will face as a healthcare manager is motivating your employees. For this assignment, you will focus on the concept of motivation.

Which theory supports your style of leadership and why?

Barriers to Successful Re-Entry

The transition from prison to life in the community is fraught with barriers to successful re-entry.

Housing, employment, access to mental health personnel, reactivation of medical insurance, and family reunification are just a few of the hurdles that must be overcome if an offender is to be successful in his or her re-entry planning. For this assignment, you are to familiarize yourself with the Assess, Plan, Identify, and Coordinate (APIC) Model for improving outcomes for persons with serious mental disorders who are transitioning from institutional settings to community settings. Apply this information to the several men profiled in the PBS documentary.

In a well-organized essay of 500-600 words, you are to: Identify the key barriers to successful re-entry for persons with mental illness returning to the community after incarceration. Outline the public and private efforts established to overcome these barriers. Assess the extent to which these efforts satisfy the principles of the APIC Model in facilitating successful community reintegration.

Patient health priorities

Description

Assessment item 1

– Prioritisation of complex patient health issues Objective(s): Learning objective: A, B, C, D and E Graduate Attribute: 2.0, 4.0 and 5.0 Weight: 50% Length: 1500 word limit +/- 10%, excluding references Task: This assessment item has 3 parts: 1. Choose one of the case studies from the lab sessions in Integrated Nursing Practice 92445. State the case study that you have chosen including whether the assignment addresses (morning shift) or (evening shift) of the case study.

Identify a total of five patient health issues from the case study that nurses can address within their scope of practice. You may include ‘risk for’ or ‘potential for’ health issues. Select the three highest priority patient health issues from the five health issues that have been identified. 2. Rank the three patient health issues that were selected in part 1 in order of priority. Provide a rationale for the order of the rankings.

The rationale must be supported with current literature. 3. Outline the nurse’s role in addressing the top three priority patient health issues using assessment, coordination of care and provision of care. Relate the discussion to regulatory frameworks of nursing and health department policies e.g. RN Standards for Practice, NSW health policy, National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standards etc. Students need to demonstrate their ability to identify and prioritise patient health issues that nurses can address within their scope of practice, and rationalise the order of priority. This will enable students to articulate decisions they will need to make in clinical practice. In addition, students will be able to demonstrate their ability to write clearly and succinctly to reflect their understanding. Accurate referencing using the ‘Harvard (UTS)’ style is expected – poor referencing will result in loss of marks. Marks may be deducted if the assessment is not within the word limit.

Does therapy and counseling actually have a lasting positive impact on mental health patients

You have graduated from college and are working as a professional in your field.

Your supervisor has asked you to compile an evaluative annotated bibliography on a problem in your field to help her prepare a report to the administration on how your company will address the problem. Your annotated bibliography should include a minimum of 10 sources from a variety of publications. Structure of Your Annotated Bibliography  Begin with an introductory paragraph that defines the problem you’re researching. o This paragraph should follow academic writing conventions and contain your thesis statement.  Citations should be formatted in APA style. o If you need a refresher on APA style, check out the King University Libraries’ How to Cite Your Sources Guide: http://king.libguides.com/citation  Entries should be in alphabetical order by author’s last name.

 Basic structure: citation followed by 1-2 paragraphs summarizing and analyzing the source. What to Include in Your Entries

 A brief summary of the source. Include only the main points of the article:

o What was the source about? o What methods or data were included?

o What were the author’s conclusions?

 A detailed analysis of the source: o How recently was this information published?

o Is the author qualified to write on this subject? How do you know?

o How were the methods and/or data presented?

o Did the author’s conclusions make sense in light of the data?

o Was anything missing from the author’s analysis? Did they ignore a major aspect of the problem? How did that influence their conclusions?

 Your conclusion about the source: o How does this source fit within the context of your research?

o Is it a source that you would ultimately use for the final report?

You might not be able to answer all these questions for each source, but you should try to answer at least two from the analysis list as well as formulate a conclusion about the source. Please note – you do not need a cover page for the annotated bibliography. My “profession” on this assignment is a mental health counselor and I am researching whether counseling has a positive lasting impact on patients.
