If you choose to resubmit, the second submission will be considered final and subject to grading.  Once the due date for the assignment passes, you may not resubmit to lower a Turnitin score. 

This assignment will follow the late assignment policy specified in the course syllabus. 

Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment. 

In the event of a situation that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will review the student’s rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of the student’s appeal. Consideration of the student’s total course performance to date will be a contributing factor in the determination. Students should continue to attend class, actively participate, and complete other assignments while the appeal is pending.

Important skills for effective team management by a public health leader and example how the skills contribute to effective team management and supervision

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

 

Effective communication is very important as it helps individuals understand the information and direction that is being conveyed. Public health leaders must be passionate, committed, and use strategic planning to disseminate clear and concise information so that individuals can comprehend and interpret information appropriately, reduce risk, and implement methods that help patients understand health literacy, social and language barriers (Ratna, 2019).

Implementing and applying the 20 essential communication skills can build strong public health leaders and teams. Each communication skill category is very beneficial, however, the three most important skills for effective team management for public health leaders should entail active listening, coaching, mentoring, and facilitation, and public speaking. I selected these three because to be an effective public health communicator one must be able to be aware of barriers to communication, inform and educate individuals about health and ways to inspire change, and use key components of essential services of public health to transmit important information with others, continuously enhance communication skills as a lifelong goal, and respect and support plans and partnerships that will improve health (Rowitz, 2014).

Initial Post Instructions

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1: The framers of the Constitution were concerned that everyday citizens would not be able to understand or comprehend the makings of our government. They felt that everyday citizens were uninformed and did not care what was going on in our government. Even today we see where citizens are interested in government affairs seemingly only if our country is in turmoil such as unemployment, recessions, civil unrest, etc. Do you agree with this assessment? Are we uninformed? Do we wait till a crisis happens to voice our opinions?

Option 2: Many experts see the media as biased and more like infotainment. In fact, many people have turned to social networks as an outlet for news instead of CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN and other news stations. Do you see this as an issue? Do you see the news as biased or unbiased? Should there be more restrictions on the news stations?

Be sure to make connections between your ideas and conclusions and the research, concepts, terms, and theory we are discussing this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Student Example

Option 2

As we learned in week two’s lesson, news media has a “huge impact of public opinion and political behavior” (Chamberlain, 2022). I do agree with the experts and feel that the news can be biased. This is an issue because the people deserve to get the story without things being left out or without options. When the news does this it is called sharing politics. They leave out parts or explain something in a way that leans towards their political side.  Everyone had their own options and working at a certain station could have their own politics involved as to what view they want to have on a piece of news. Mastrine gives a great example, “Our team noted that NPR does not give lots of coverage to current hot-button issues frequently seen in coverage on the Right — such as free speech, abortion, or the Second Amendment — and in that same vein, does not give lots of coverage to hot-button issues often covered by the Left — economic inequality, climate change, or social justice initiatives” (year page). This example is what I feel we all already know. Different media outlets have different approaches and views on how they feel about things. I think the news should be given with as many facts as possible leaving out opinions or have two opposing views review the same story. A lot of times when I am interested in a story, I go to different news outlets to hear different views on the same topic. I do not know about the restrictions that can be enforced with news, but I think people generally know which station has what political view, so they listen or watch the stations they agree with more. To have a well-rounded knowledge base when something interests me, I look at the story from as many different sources that I can find to help get a rounded view. I am then able to decipher through the opinions and facts to have my own view. It would be nice to have a news station that reports the same story with different views back-to-back so you do not have to rewatch the same news story just to try and figure out fact verse opinion and make sure nothing was left out of one news story compared to the other.

Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection

Good morning, my name is ………., and this is my capstone video reflection and intervention presentation. My intervention centers around teaching patients experiencing GERD about normal side effects, risk elements, and way of life changes they can use to deal with their side effects. Unmanaged GERD can have serious complexities and extraordinarily diminish an individual’s personal satisfaction. GERD is the most well-known gastrointestinal problem in The United States, brought about by stomach corrosive every now and again streaming once more into an individual’s throat. Most patients get a conclusion from their doctor just based on an evaluation and survey of side effects. Many patients start their psychological wellness ventures with unfortunate adapting abilities like drinking, and smoking. These unfortunate indecencies can additionally compound side effects of GERD, subsequently, I have seen this turmoil disturb the personal satisfaction commonly both in my expert and individual life.

The patient I teamed up with is a thirty-three-year-old Hispanic male determined to have GERD three years prior. Risk factors for GERD incorporate weight, pregnancy, hiatal hernias, connective tissue issues, deferred stomach purging, white race, male sex, old age, smoking, eating enormous suppers before bed, greasy or seared food varieties, liquor, espresso, and certain meds like ibuprofen (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2020). This patient has a few of these gamble factors including his sex, dietary propensities, way of life decisions, and being overweight. Right now, the patient encounters indigestion consistently and encounters spewing forth or retching a few times each week. He is conflicting with his prescription and misses the mark on inspiration to focus on long-haul way of life decisions that could work on his side effects.

Before I started gathering with the patient and presented my intervention, he had an ambiguous thought of what food varieties set off his side effects because of experimentation on his part, and not from his doctor appropriately instructing him. Prior to executing the intervention, my patient realized that his being overweight, drinking, and eating broiled food varieties exacerbated his indigestion, and didn’t understand how genuine the outcomes could be assuming he let his side effects control his life. My patient valued having a straightforward asset about his condition and learned new data to assist him with returning his GERD to normal. Each time we met, we reviewed what had been taught previously and then gradually introduced new knowledge to ensure that he retained everything I had taught him. He is committed to avoiding bad food choices, sleeping in the proper position, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, and taking his medication on a regular and timely basis.

Use of Evidence and Peer-Reviewed Literature to Plan and Implement the Project

I needed to guarantee the data I gave the patient was best-practice and proof-based. To do this, I used ……University’s Summons data set from their web-based library. From that point, I had the option to limit the web to just give assets that have been peer-looked into and distributed inside the most recent five years to ensure I was surveying the most exceptional data. Prior to choosing what sources to use I ensured they were applicable to my chosen medical care issue; GERD and the creators were believable in their field. I additionally ensured that every one of the assets didn’t contain clashing data. Every one of the articles I applied towards the making of the intervention through proof-based research established that way of life adjustments was the principal line of protection for overseeing GERD and accordingly was the focal point of the time enjoyed with my patient.

Health Care Technology to Improve Outcomes and Communication

E-prescriptions were the medical care innovation I focused on with the patient because it is generally useful and appropriate to him. Because they are convenient and provide patient security, e-prescriptions are becoming a more popular option in both in-patient and short-term settings. They guarantee error-free and elegant solutions sent directly to the patient’s pharmacy. This helps to eliminate the risk of polypharmacy, as well as the risk of the patient forgetting their drugs, which has previously been a problem for my patient, and to improve patient consistency in completing and taking their prescriptions. When compared to people who use traditional paper prescriptions, studies suggest that E-prescriptions increased the underlying solution fill rate by a small percentage. This could be due to the fact that these frameworks send a pre-programmed electronic message. My patient says that he much rather his doctor involves E-prescriptions as he frequently hesitates to get paper prescriptions filled.

In the future, the patient may benefit from telehealth services from his main health care provider to track his symptoms and the success of his present treatment regimen on a frequent basis. When there are convenient ways for my patient to monitor his healthcare, he is much more willing to do so. My patient has a busy lifestyle, having the option to speak with his doctor from the accommodation of his own home will be incredibly valuable to him. According to a McElroy article, telemedicine has become a viable option recently, with more payment from insurance companies and fewer appointment cancellations from patients in some offices.

Health Policy Influences

The Massachusetts BON portrays an enlisted proficient nurse as diagnosing and getting patients’ reactions to their medical conditions through persistent schooling, case finding, and wellbeing guiding. It is noticed that a nurse’s analytic honor is particular from a clinical conclusion in that it distinguishes and oversees physical and psychosocial side effects inside the nursing extent of training. As I and the patient are from Massachusetts, it was vital to remember the Massachusetts BON principles while making this intervention. The patient previously had a prior diagnosis of GERD from his doctor, as such it was my obligation to additionally teach him about his analysis and the administration of his side effects. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has fostered a nursing general set of rules that fills in as a bunch of guidelines and directions for medical caretakers to practice and settle on choices in light of their qualities while keeping inside their extent of training. I actively listened to all of the patient’s concerns with empathy and compassion, keeping the code of ethics in mind, and understood what they wanted out of this encounter. To effectively serve my patient, I conducted the necessary scholarly research to deliver data based on evidence-based resources. I also explained to the patient what the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is and how it protects his personal health information. I guaranteed the patient than anything he imparts to his doctor is safeguarded under HIPAA and can’t be revealed without his assent whether he has an in-person visit or through telehealth.

Project Predictions and Outcomes

I at first expected that the patient would acquire a more noteworthy understanding of side effect triggers and how to more readily deal with his GERD side effects. Luckily, the intervention results matched my forecasts, and the patient is currently more educated about his condition and how he really wants to fix his side effects. The patient expressed he gleaned tons of useful knowledge more than he was hoping to and is currently spurred to view his condition in a serious way as to not foster a portion of the extreme complications that can come from untreated GERD. He is committed to being more consistent with his prescriptions since it is now so obvious when to appropriately take them and that he will have a more prominent side effect help assuming he accepts them as recommended rather than just “depending on the situation” like he was doing before the meetings we spent together. He had the option to effectively “instruct back” the data I gave to him and give precise instances of food varieties and exercises he ought to stay away from to more readily deal with his GERD.

Personal and Professional Growth Throughout the Project

At first, I was concerned I wouldn’t find a sufficient measure of articles to put together assets with respect to the patient issue I picked. In spite of the fact that GERD is an exceptionally normal problem, it doesn’t have a high mortality or hospitalization rate as other patient issues do. In any case, after I started my inquiry and truly jumped into the Capstone project, I had the option to observe the data I wanted, and I am better for it. I learned things I for one knew nothing about and can now better instruct future patients on their sickness the regulations too. My patient was effectively connected all through the interaction and valued the work put into the intervention and learned a lot from it.

All through the RN-BSN program, I gained tons of useful knowledge about the worth of interdisciplinary joint effort, administration, and strategies influencing the results of top-notch medical care. Some of the program’s evaluations have taught me to hone my critical thinking abilities and evaluate the consequences of change implementation far more than I would have before. I am thankful for this program and am proud to be a BSN-prepared nurse from Capella.
