Write a short paper on how the government should distribute societal resources such as education and healthcare. How would you answer the argument of a couple who did not believe they should have to pay school taxes because they have no children? What about the argument that rich school districts should share their wealth with poor districts (keeping in mind that those who pay higher taxes in that district might have moved there because of the reputation of the school)? What are the arguments for or against universal healthcare? Address each question posed above in a thoughtful response. Your short paper should be 3 pages in length in a WORD document. Be sure to adhere to APA format (to include a cover page, proper formatting, in-text citations, and a reference page). The 3-page minimum does not include the cover page or works cited page.

INVESTIGATION – Diverting controlled substances

/0 Comments/in , /by

You are contacted to investigate the suspicion that a nurse is diverting controlled substances.

The suspicious behavior was reported by two coworkers who consistently work with “Nurse A”. Their suspicions are based on the fact that “Nurse A” seems to be accessing the ADC an excessive amount and removing controlled substances compared to the rest of the nurses. “Nurse A” also seldom asks for a witness to waste controlled substances (per protocol, all controlled substance waste must be witnessed in the ADC with another nurse, which generates an electronic record of the waste transaction).

You have access to run reports at the ADC level and on the EMR. Why is the ADC and the EMR interface so important in this situation to assist with investigating the waste concern brought up by “Nurse A’s” coworkers? Think about usage patterns of controlled substances on “Nurse A’s” patient care unit. What information would you want in a report to compare “Nurse A” to all other nursing personnel that work on the patient care unit? Another piece of the investigation involves ensuring the controlled substance counts and handling are correct from the point at which the nurse initially access’ the controlled substances in the ADC.

How will closed loop automation assist you in tracking the chain of custody of controlled substances from the point it leaves the pharmacy to the point it reaches the patient care unit? Describe any additional information that you think would be helpful to investigate a suspected diversion issue.

Understanding Communicable Disease from a Population-Based Health Perspective

/0 Comments/in /by

Objectives • Analyze the rise of chronic disease in developing countries • Analyze the resurgence of infectious disease in developing countries • Summarize the effects of chronic and infectious diseases on population-based health in the United States Assignment Overview In this written assignment, you will learn about chronic and communicable (infectious) disease rates in developing countries as compared to developed countries and the relationship to population-based nursing. Deliverables 1. A two- to three-page (500- to 750-word) paper a. Read the data set handouts. Read the following data sets provided by the World Health Organization. • Indonesia (developing country) • Guatemala (developing country) • United States (developed country) • France (developed country) b. Review the data sets. Each data set provides a profile of a country’s risk factors for, and incidence of, various chronic diseases. Information about the country’s ability to respond to chronic disease is outlined. Some information about communicable (infectious) disease rates is also presented. Note that the acronym NCD on the data set documents stands for noncommunicable disease; another term for chronic diseases. c. Summarize your findings. Write a two- to three-page paper that: • Compares and contrasts the following aspects of each data set: o Percent of NCD deaths (see pie charts) o Percent of deaths attributed to communicable (infectious) disease and maternal, perinatal, and nutritional conditions (see pie charts) o The significance of trends for blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose, and cholesterol levels o The capacity of the country to respond to NCDs • Discusses three key messages from your review of the data sets that relate to population-based nursing and: o The incidence of chronic disease in developing countries versus developed countries o The incidence of communicable disease in developing countries versus developed countries o The impact of chronic and communicable disease in developing countries as compared to developed countries

Demonstrate an understanding of what dementia is from the perspectives of different professionals

Description )

perspectives of different professionals

The first learning outcome asks to demonstrate an understanding of what dementia is from the perspectives of different professionals. Managing the person with dementia (PwD) with complex health and social care needs may require a number of professionals to be involved. The multidisciplinary team brings expertise from occupational therapy, social work, and medical and nursing input (Downs & Brooker 2014).

Essentially from a nursing perspective The Nursing and Midwifery council (NMC), (2018;10) ‘requires nurses to keep colleagues informed when you are sharing the care of individuals with other health and care professionals and staff’. Partnership and inter professional working is fundamental in dementia care and has been supported by ……………..provide Reference to support (have a look at Learning Unit 4 to support academic argument for partnership / collaborative / inter professional / co production and also reading list books / journals ) also be mindful of the PwD / family / carers involvement in health & social care decision as part of the partnership………………………… ook to focus on 2 or 3 professionals max) Within the multi-disciplinary team the role of the mental health nurse (MHN) in dementia care focuses on interpersonal relationship and building a therapeutic relationship. Working in partnership the relationship between the mental health nurse and service user is at the heart of nursing practice (Norman & Ryrie, 2009). From a community perspective MHN have a good understanding in relation to investigations and medical diagnosis, provision of emotional and practical support for carers and training for primary care professionals (Keady et al, 2007). The value of MHN working with older people with dementia has been recognised by the Royal College of Nursing, (2015) delivering competence in areas advanced assessment skills, promoting best practice and ethical and person centred care……………………………. Another professional fundamental supporting PwD in the community is the social worker. According to ……….Social workers are responsible for ……………. They involve the PwD, families and carers at the heart of the decision making process etc etc……………………………………………. Another section of Doris CMP (Kings Fund, 2011) I would like to explore further is the MHN was the professional responsible for co coordinating and managing Doris care in the community. Care co-ordination (section 3 of CMP) is pivotal particularly managing complex social and health needs in the community. According to the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG)(2010) the role of the care coordinator provides regular reviews and evaluates the care and treatment. ……………….……. LO3) The final learning outcome looks to provide recommendations for future practice from an inter-professional perspective. It could be argued the allocation of a professional to coordinate the care and treatment plan based on the PwD person centred needs is essential. This helps maintain quality of care and best available evidence to support independent living (DH, 2018). According to WAG (2010) a care coordinator will be a mental health  professional with appropriate skills and qualifications and who will be responsible for working with a person to agree a written Care and Treatment Plan. The Mental Health Measure (WAG, 2010) under part 2 …
