Create a 2 page essay paper that discusses Defining Problems and Their Context.not recognize that they are exposed to latent environmental and health problems and they only get to know of this exposure after it affects them directly.One of the reasons why many people tend not to realize some of the latent problems that surround them is lack of awareness (Tickner, 2003). For many people, water that comes from the tap is safe for drinking as long as it is clear. There is need to create awareness among members of the public about some of the underlying environmental and health problems that they are exposed to. By bridging the existing information gap, people will have much of the information they need in order to evaluate some of the risks to their health and wellbeing. This is the best way to empower communities to live healthy lives and keep their environment safe. According to Tickner (2003), identifying the latent environmental and health problems will help minimize environmental degradation and also reduce the number of human health issues that emanate from the risks involved.Exposure analysis is a branch of environmental science that is concerned with the activities that occur between contaminated environment and organisms of interest (Ott and Steinemann, 2007). In other words exposure analysis is an evaluation of the process by which a population contacts some form of contamination. The purpose of this analysis is to identify how contaminants enter into the human body system so as to find ways to minimize the effects of such a contamination. Exposure analysts normally try to find out the source of a particular contaminant and they use the results to minimize any adverse health outcomes (Dederick, 2008).Exposure analysis is important as it enables people to know what they can do in order to reduce their exposure to contaminants that may cause adverse health effects (Ott and Steinemann, 2007). For instance, an exposure analysis done on a nuclear plant can help in the identification of latent and obvious health risks of r individuals

Promoting health and wellbeing: planning, practice and participation (PHW}

This should provide readers with an understanding of the underlying concepts and ideas on which your proposal is based. It should enable readers to understand how you

explain health-related problems and how you think solutions to the problems might best come about. Key themes include:
•    What is the health-related problem? And who might best define this as a problem.
•    What factors led to this problem coming about?
•    What factors need to be addressed to promote health in relation to this problem – and why?
•    What model of change will be used – and why?
The conceptual framework should be well-referenced
Appendix – Example of elements of the conceptual framework
1.    Intro – global picture relating to the health issue (MDGs, WHO info) & regional picture
2.    Health issue at local level (such as who is affected and how they are affected, country and local context)
3.    Statement that there are many ways to understand health (biomedical, sociological, psychological, lay perspectives). The ecological framework (NCI, 2005) draws

these areas together
4.    What led to the problem? Using the ecological framework need to consider macro, meso, micro factors
5.    Need to focus on prevention (state why – and who says)
6.    Ideas from health promotion can be one way to identify how change can come about – eg Ottawa Charter
7.    However, there may be other ways to understand what areas to focus on (such as capability approach, settings approach). Then let readers know which

concepts/theories you have chosen (and why)
8.    Then let readers know what level you will focus on: macro (such as policy advocacy); meso/setting (community, school); micro (interpersonal/individual)
9.    Draw on evidence on what has worked elsewhere to inform the overall strategy or approach that you will take (for example, if social marketing has been shown to

work, you may wish to use this. If there is no evidence that this approach has been used, then perhaps consider not using that approach)

HEALTHY POLICY

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is for you to identify an issue of concern for your role as an advanced practice nurse and to formulate a potential policy change to address that issue. There are many potential issues which can influence your practice setting or other issues which may negatively affect the patients with whom you work. All of the course reading will help you to identify a topic for this assignment. You can think about the issue as related to your health promotion project. The policy you consider may be in reaction to the health promotion issue or something larger that is still related to that issue. There are hundreds of possible issues, but here is a list of a few to consider:

  • Child and elder care
  • Civil rights
  • Domestic violence
  • Drug abuse/addiction
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Homelessness
  • Native American and migrant workers’ health
  • Long-term care
  • Immigration/illegal aliens
  • Legislative issues affecting advanced practice nursing
  • Barriers to practice
  • Access to care

As you begin to work on the possible policy change, the following ideas and steps should be considered:

  • Definition and description of the issue
  • Exploration of the background of the issue
  • Stakeholders
  • Issue statement or statement of clarity
  • Possible methods of addressing the issue
  • Goals and options for changes
  • Risks and benefits of the changes

REPORT ON DIAGNOSING AND TREATING SKIN WOUNDS

/in /by

Skin wounds are sometimes challenging for health care providers to diagnose and treat as many have similar presentations. For advanced practice nurses, being able to identify various types of skin wounds, including whether a wound is a colonization or an infection, is critical because it impacts recommended patient care. In your role, you must be able to evaluate skin wounds, determine the diagnosis, and develop an appropriate treatment and management plan according to current evidence-based guidelines.

To prepare:

  • Review Chapter 45 of the Flaherty and Resnick text, as well as the Burr article in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Consider how to properly diagnose skin wounds in frail elders, including how to distinguish between a colonization and infection.
  • Select a type of skin wound, such as bumps, bruises, shingles, herpes, bullous pemphigoid, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, etc. Research the guidelines for treatment of the skin wound you selected. Reflect on how you would treat and/or dress this wound.
  • Think about factors that might contribute to the development of the skin wound you selected. Consider strategies for the prevention and improvement of this type of wound.

To complete:

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

  • Explain how to properly diagnose skin wounds in frail elders, including how to distinguish between a colonization and infection.
  • Describe the type of skin wound you selected.
  • Explain how you would treat and/or dress this wound based on guidelines for treatment.
  • Explain factors that might contribute to the development of the skin wound you selected. Include strategies for the prevention and improvement of this type of wound.

Current and Future Considerations for Healthcare Delivery

/in /by

Imagine that you are an administrator in a health services organization, and the CEO of your organization asks you to assess and report on developments that are likely to affect the organization’s success. What will you discover as you investigate changes in your community and the broader health care landscape?

In preparation for this Assignment, review your completed Week 3 Assignment, including any feedback you received from your Instructor. Select one organization from that Assignment on which to focus for this Assignment (i.e., imagine that this organization is the one in which you work).

Use the Learning Resources provided in this week, as well as previous weeks, and locate additional sources through the Walden Library and credible websites to conduct your research. Use the following questions to guide your investigation:

·         What are the prevalent health concerns in this community?

·         What are the key issues related to cost, quality, and access that affect the organization and the people this organization serves?

·         Which organizations in this area are business competitors and/or which organizations use highly effective practices or strategies that this organization may learn from or adopt?

·         How will demographics and health reform likely impact the organization, as well as the broader community, in the next 5 years?

Next, review the information on business writing included in the Learning Resources. Consider what the central point of your memo should be. For instance, is there a critical challenge the organization is likely to encounter? Does the information you have gathered suggest the need for a particular course of action or a new business direction? If so, use this memo to inform and influence the CEO. If not, share the findings of your research with the assumption that the CEO will use this information as a launching point for future discussions.

The Assignment

Write a business memo in which you address:

·         Prevalent health concerns in the community

·         Issues related to cost, quality, and access that affect the organization and the people it serves

·         Organizations in the community that are business competitors and/or from which you can learn highly effective practices or strategies

·         Ways in which changing demographics and health reform will likely affect your organization and the broader community in the next 5 years

General Guidance on Assignment Length: Your Assignment should be 3–4 pages, double-spaced (or 1–2 pages single-spaced), excluding a title page and references.
