Hello i need a Good and Positive Comment related with this argument .A paragraph  with no more  90 words.

Intervention and prevention are two areas in the nursing practice that have led to improved outcomes. Martsolf (2016) stated that nurses practitioners have been given a bigger role to intervene in health care as a relief for physicians. The nurse can offer diagnosis and prescription to patients. The nurses practitioners treat simple conditions and refer the complicated conditions that require the physician’s attentions. The nurses practitioners cannot conduct surgery but can intervene and manage conditions like fevers, airborne diseases, and common cold among others. Patients can access fast medical treatment given that a nurse practitioner can attend them without having to wait for physicians who are mostly busy people. People on the verge of death can be managed by a nurse as the physician’s intervention is being sought; hence nurses save lives of critical patients.

According to Swan (2011), prevention health care has seen nurse practitioners conduct a home to home healthy living awareness campaigns. Visiting homes is crucial for they provide primary care for the whole family. Visiting homes exposes the nurses to the young ones, youths and the elderly. The ability to access the families at once makes it easy to prevent some diseases from spreading in the family. Hereditary diseases like chorea, mental disorders and ataxia are some of the conditions that the nurses help in preventing their adverse effects in people who are prone to them. Once they visit malaria affected person at home, they can advise thenfamily of ways they can stay safe from malaria. They identify causes that may expose the family to mosquito attacks. Bushes that need to be cleared, areas to be sprayed, sections that need to be lit and water to be drained are identified as means to eliminate mosquito habitation.

State the study and its impact on patient care. How have these findings changed your nursing practice?

Intervention has seen nurse practitioners assigned to ambulatory care services. The ambulatory services offer health care services inside a vehicle. The vehicle is fitted with a small lab, medicine and needles, bed and intensive care equipment. The nurses can transverse the community and offer emergency services to a critically sick person. A critical ill person does not have to be transported all the health facility. The ambulatory is always a call away from the patient (Swan, 2011). After the call is placed the vehicle moves to the area, they have been directed to take the patient and intervene on their health while it is en route to the hospital for attention from the physician.

Nurse practitioners have become critical health personnel  in the medical research for they are the first to the point of interaction with patients. Nurse practitioners are involved in research activities for they know the community and its environs well. They know diseases and conditions that affect people. The nurse practitioners identify things in the society that need to be researched. Also, when nurses are doing their community health awareness programs and come across suspiciousncondition, they recommend to medical researchers to act upon it and establish if it is communicable so that better prevention measures can be taken to secure members of the society (Martsolf, 2016). I have been motivated to start writing research papers about my findings from giving intervention and preventive care to the patients in the community. I present the papers to medical research journal for them to be peer reviewed and critiqued for the best performance and adoption globally.

Identify goals and objectives that would facilitate that outcome.

Assignment: Application: Systems Theory 4-5 pages APA style

Assignment: Application: Systems Theory

As noted in the Learning Resources, systems theory provides a meaningful and beneficial means of examining challenges in health care organizations. To do this effectively, however, it is essential to assess all system components, as some may be relatively healthy while others are problematic.

For this Assignment, you apply systems theory to the examination of a problem in a department or a unit within a health care organization. (Note: You may use the same problem you identified for the Discussion as long as it meets the criteria for this assignment.)

To prepare:

  • Review the Meyer article, “Nursing Services Delivery Theory: An Open System Approach,” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus especially on the information presented in Table 1 (p. 2831) and Figure 2 (p. 2833).
  • Reflect on your organization or one with which you are familiar. Within a particular department or unit in this organization, identify a problem the staff is encountering.
  • Using Table 1 in the Meyer article as a guide, analyze the department or unit, identifying inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback. Consider whether the problem you have selected relates to input, throughput, output, cycles of events, and/or negative feedback.
  • Think about how you could address the problem: Consider what a desired outcome would be, then formulate related goals and objectives, and translate those goals into policies and procedures.
  • Research professional standards that are pertinent to your identified problem.
  • Reflect on the organization’s mission statement and values. In addition, consider how addressing this problem would uphold the mission and values, while improving the organizational culture and climate. (Depending on the organization you have selected, you may have explored these in the Week 1 Discussion.)

To complete:

By Day 7

Write a 4- to 5-page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

  • Describe a department or unit within a health care organization using systems theory terminology. Include a description of inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback.
  • Describe the problem you identified within the department or unit using an open- systems approach, and state where the problem exists using the systems theory model (input, throughput, output, cycles of events, or negative feedback).
  • Based on this information, explain how you would address the problem as follows:
    • Formulate a desired outcome.
    • Identify goals and objectives that would facilitate that outcome.
    • Translate those goals and objectives into policies and procedures for the department or unit.
    • Describe relevant professional standards.
  • Explain how your proposed resolution to the problem would uphold the organization’s mission and values and improve the culture and climate.

Reminder: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references.  APA format

video summary:Alicia, the nurse leader, is wearing a lab coat. She is an African American. Masaya is wearing street clothes and is a Filipino who is approximately 25 years old. They are sitting in the nurse leader’s office at the hospital, with Alicia behind her desk.AudioNurse leader: Thank you so much for coming in today for this discussion. It is so hectic when you are on duty; I appreciate you meeting with me on your day off when we can have a better chance to talk. Be sure to clock in as you will be paid for this time.I would like to discuss how you are adapting to working in the United States in general, and on our unit specifically. How’s it going?Staff nurse: Thank you, ma’am, for asking me to come in. I don’t mind at all. I usually clean my apartment on my day off. It’s so small, it only takes about 10 minutes. (both laugh)Hmm… how do I think it is going? Now, don’t get me wrong. I love my job and my preceptor is great, but it has been a challenge. For example, I noticed the other day that a few of the nurses rolled their eyes when I began report with my patients’ sur names instead of their first names. This is the way I was taught to do it in the Philippines, but I guess it sounds weird here.And my preceptor told me that when I respond to everyone by saying “Yes, ma’am,” or “Yes, sir,” it doesn’t come across as respectful, but instead makes them feel old.I brought in some lumpia I made using my mom’s recipe, and put it in the lounge. No one even mentioned it, let alone thank me.And some of the nurses are trying to fix me up on dates. They know I’m married and my wife is in nursing school back in Manila. I’m over here earning money to pay for her schooling, but they think we’ve split up because we aren’t living together.Nurse leader: Thank you for being so candid with me. Is there anything else you wish to share?Staff nurse: That’s all that comes to mind. I’m trying to fit in, but it’s been rough at times. Moving to the U.S. has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. But I’m determined to keep this job. It has been a great opportunity.Nurse leader: First of all, I want you to know that I’ve seen great progress since you started working here. Let me think about what you’ve said, and see how I may be able to help you and the staff see things from each other’s perspective. Enjoy the rest of your day off.  Reflect on what you observed in the video as you answer the following:

  1. Based on what you observed, what leadership skills should you, as Masaya’s preceptor, model for your fellow coworkers to promote his acceptance into the work-group or team.
  2. Does incivility seem to be an issue in the scenario?
  3. Describe any common themes you discovered among the article, the video and the Civility Index

Organizational Foundations

Organizational Foundations

As you strive to grow in your leadership skills and abilities, you will find that the context in which you work influences your motivation and areas of focus. In a similar vein, your commitment to developing professionally can contribute toward organizational effectiveness.

To that end, it is critical to recognize the importance of organizational culture and climate. In particular, through this week’s Learning Resources, you may consider several questions: How do an organization’s mission, vision, and values relate to its culture? What is the difference between culture and climate? Moreover, how are culture and climate manifested within the organization?

For this Discussion, you explore the culture and climate of your current organization or one with which you are familiar. You also consider decisions and day-to-day practices and the way they relate to the organization’s mission, vision, and values.

To prepare:

  • Review the information related to planning and decision making in health care organizations presented in the textbook, Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application. Consider how planning and decision making relate to an organization’s mission, vision, and values, as well as its culture and its climate.
  • Familiarize yourself with the mission, vision, and values of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Consider how the statements and actions of leaders and others within the organization support or demonstrate the organizational mission, vision, and values. In addition, note any apparent discrepancies between word and deed. Think about how this translates into expectations for direct service providers. Note any data or artifacts that seem to indicate whether behaviors within the organization are congruent with its mission, vision, and values.
  • Begin to examine and reflect on the culture and climate of the organization. How do culture and climate differ?
  • Why is it important for you, as a master’s-prepared nurse leader, to be cognizant of these matters?

Post a description of your selected organization’s mission, vision, and values. APA formatt.  Describe relevant data, or artifacts, words, and actions of leaders and others in the organization that support, or perhaps appear to contradict the organization’s mission, vision, and values statement. In addition, discuss the organization’s culture and its climate, differentiating between the two. Explain why examining these matters is significant to your role as a nurse leader.

This assessment is based upon the scenario below. The scenario is very limited in detail; where more detail is needed, incorporate any assumptions you make to flesh out the scenario. It is intended to assess your ability to communicate your approach to a challenge by evaluating issues of organization, leadership, safety, quality improvement, multiculturalism and diversity.

Your approach should be very conceptual and high-level.

Scenario

Your health care organization has recently committed 20 nurses to participate in a 4-month-long multinational effort to treat patients exposed to a highly contagious virus in a “hot zone” in Africa. The director of your organization has asked you, because of your previous medical mission experience, to outline nursing-related plans for preparing for the mobilization and present this information at an upcoming staff meeting.

Deliverable: Mobilization Plan PowerPoint Presentation

Create an 8–10-slide PowerPoint presentation (with detailed speaker’s notes) of your mobilization plan. It should be targeted toward members of the hospital’s administrative staff, nurses, and the physicians who will also participate in this medical mission.

  • Use bullet points and phrases on the slides.
  • The narrative, or explanation for each slide, should be in the speaker’s notes section.

The mobilization plan should address the following:

  • Identify the major stakeholders within the health care system that would be affected by the mobilization plan.
  • Analyze how the mobilization effort will impact staffing patterns and nursing care at the hospital.
  • Describe the medical mission team’s organizational structure of the mission team and how power is distributed. 
    • Include one slide of an organizational diagram for the mission.
      • Describe the roles (in the speaker’s notes).
  • Assess how the organizational structure empowers team members.
    • Provide 1–2 examples of how team members will have power.
  • Identify key actions needed to assure quality of care and safety for mission patients and personnel.
  • Evaluate potential power issues that may arise when dealing with a multinational contingent.
    • (Be generic; that is, do not address individual nationalities, races, et cetera.)
    • Consider interactions with health care personnel from other countries.
  • Examine potential multicultural and diversity issues that mission personnel may encounter.
    • Consider that the indigenous population may be hostile to treatment.
    • Outline possible training requirements to improve cultural competencies of the personnel.

Additional Requirements

  • Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • APA formatting: Resources and in-text citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
  • Length: Presentation should be 8–10 slides. Include speaker’s notes on each content slide.
  • References: Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources on the final slide (in APA format).
  • General formatting: Choose an appropriate theme if using a template

The Role of Nursing in Bridging the Gap between Managers and Physicians in Hospitals

arriers to Effective Communication

We face challenging barriers to effective communication in the healthcare field. As our world becomes smaller, we are in constant contact with patients, colleagues, or consumers from culturally diverse backgrounds and we need to develop our skills to improve effective communication.

Using the South University Online Library, search the following articles:

  • The Role of Nursing in Bridging the Gap between Managers and Physicians in Hospitals
  • Improving Communication in the Health Care Setting

Based on your research, answer the questions below writing at least five sentences per question in a Microsoft Word document. You need to think of a communication with a healthcare professional colleague to answer the following questions:

  • What barriers to effective communication could occur with a health care professional colleague who is culturally diverse? How can these barriers affect patient outcome when effective communication is essential?
  • What assumptions can you make about a healthcare professional colleague you do not know well? How can these assumptions impact your communication if your customs are different from your healthcare professional colleague’s customs and you do not understand their customs completely?
  • How can you overcome language barriers or make assumptions not based on facts to increase team unity and motivation? How important is it for you to take responsibility and improve your cultural competence?

Now you need to think of a communication with a patient or a consumer and answer the following questions:

  • What specific language barriers can result when you communicate with a patient or a consumer who speaks limited English? How can you gather information or educate when language barriers are present?
  • How do you adjust to conflicting values or traditions from patients in a specific religion or culture? For example, patients who are Jehovah’s Witness religion may refuse blood products or other religions may not eat pork. How do you adjust dietary restrictions communicating in a collaborative manner with the dietary department?
  • What are the benefits of a healthcare organization to provide cultural awareness and training for each employee to better understand and accept others? Does your current or past organization provide cultural awareness training? If not, what will be your recommendation to your management team?
  • Select one culture other than your own and describe how this culture may deal with death and mourning.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.
