Agenda Comparison Grid and Fact Sheet or Talking Points Brief

It may seem to you that healthcare has been a national topic of debate among political leaders for as long as you can remember.Healthcare has been a policy item and a topic of debate not only in recent times but as far back as the administration of the second U.S. president, John Adams. In 1798, Adams signed legislation requiring that 20 cents per month of a sailor’s paycheck be set aside for covering their medical bills. This represented the first major piece of U.S. healthcare legislation, and the topic of healthcare has been woven into presidential agendas and political debate ever since.As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to provide expertise, guidance and/or opinions on healthcare matters as they are debated for inclusion into new policy. You may also be involved in planning new organizational policy and responses to changes in legislation. For all of these reasons you should be prepared to speak to national healthcare issues making the news.In this Assignment, you will analyze recent presidential healthcare agendas. You also will prepare a fact sheet to communicate the importance of a healthcare issue and the impact on this issue of recent or proposed policy.To Prepare:Review the agenda priorities of the current/sitting U.S. president and the two previous presidential administrations.Select an issue related to healthcare that was addressed by each of the last three U.S. presidential administrations.Reflect on the focus of their respective agendas, including the allocation of financial resources for addressing the healthcare issue you selected.Consider how you would communicate the importance of a healthcare issue to a legislator/policymaker or a member of their staff for inclusion on an agenda.The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Comparison Grid, 1-Page Analysis, and 1-page narrative) with a title page, an introduction, purpose statement, and a conclusion. This is an APA paper.Part 1: Agenda Comparison GridUse the Agenda Comparison Grid Template found in the Learning Resources and complete the Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid based on the current/sitting U.S. president and the two previous presidential administrations and their agendas related to the public health concern you selected. Be sure to address the following:Identify and provide a brief description of the population health concern you selected and the factors that contribute to it.Describe the administrative agenda focus related to the issue you selected.Identify the allocations of financial and other resources that the current and two previous presidents dedicated to this issue.Explain how each of the presidential administrations approached the issue.At least 3 resources must be usedPart 2: Agenda Comparison Grid AnalysisUsing the information you recorded in Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid on the template, complete the Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis portion of the template, by addressing the following:Which administrative agency would most likely be responsible for helping you address the healthcare issue you selected?How do you think your selected healthcare issue might get on the agenda for the current and two previous presidents? How does it stay there?Who would you choose to be the entrepreneur/champion/sponsor of the healthcare issue you selected for the current and two previous presidents?Part 3: NarrativeUsing the information recorded on the template in Parts 1 and 2, develop a 1-page narrative that you could use to communicate with a policymaker/legislator or a member of their staff for this healthcare issue. Be sure to address the following:Summarize why this healthcare issue is important and should be included in the agenda for legislation.Justify the role of the nurse in agenda setting for healthcare issues.The response fully integrates at least 2 outside resources and 2-3 course specific resources that fully supports the summary provided.

Assignment 1: Lab Assignment: Differential Diagnosis for Skin ConditionsPhoto Credit: Getty Images/iStockphotoProperly identifying the cause and type of a patient’s skin condition involves a process of elimination known as differential diagnosis. Using this process, a health professional can take a given set of physical abnormalities, vital signs, health assessment findings, and patient descriptions of symptoms, and incrementally narrow them down until one diagnosis is determined as the most likely cause.In this Lab Assignment, you will examine several visual representations of various skin conditions, describe your observations, and use the techniques of differential diagnosis to determine the most likely condition.To PrepareReview the Skin Conditions document provided in this week’s Learning Resources, and select one condition to closely examine for this Lab Assignment.Consider the abnormal physical characteristics you observe in the graphic you selected. How would you describe the characteristics using clinical terminologies?Explore different conditions that could be the cause of the skin abnormalities in the graphics you selected.Consider which of the conditions is most likely to be the correct diagnosis, and why.Search the Walden library for one evidence-based practice, peer-reviewed article based on the skin condition you chose for this Lab Assignment.Review the Comprehensive SOAP Exemplar found in this week’s Learning Resources to guide you as you prepare your SOAP note.Download the SOAP Template found in this week’s Learning Resources, and use this template to complete this Lab Assignment.The Lab AssignmentChoose one skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in this week’s Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the skin graphic that you chose. Determine which is most likely to be the correct diagnosis and explain your reasoning using at least three different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning Resources.Learning ResourcesRequired Readings (click to expand/reduce)Ball, J.

Students have 2 assignments due this week. You will choose a lesion to document the SOAP note and secondly, this week is our first Shadow Health Assignment. There are several student tips, how to upload the lab pass, etc. located in the course.  Regarding the SOAP notes, there is not enough information. I advise you to make up the information that is not there (ie. Health hx, social hx, etc). This will allow you to critically think as you develop the notes.You need to know that the DCE score is not the only score that counts as your grade, it is only a portion of the grade. You must complete the documentation portion. Also, we have noted that in SH, the ROS is not located in the documentation portion but is located in the subjective data collection portion.  Remember to document as the SOAP order. I advise you to review my SOAP document send last week for guidance.Last week we engulfed in great conversation on the risks of our findings about growth, measurements, and nutrition of children and their families. As practitioners, it’s important to communicate professionally, ask the right questions, and guide families as they strive to have healthier and happy lives. This week we will begin to review assessments of body systems. Skin, Hair, and Nails will be covered. I encourage you to perform the assessment of Skin, Hair, and Nails so that you may be proficient with it for the overall assessment. You are able to access the check lists by enrolling into the evolve website in your resources.You first assignment for this week is to be written in a SOAP Note format (NO NARRATIVES). There is a template/sample for you to follow posted in your announcements at the beginning of the semester. You will need to put in the missing information in the note (some may be made up ie meds, hx, parts of the ROS and PE).  In the Assessment/Plan, you will document your differential diagnoses as per the assignment. I will comment on your notes and if needed, send you an email if I need to help you with them more.Assignment 1:The Lab Assignment· Choose one skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in this week’s Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.·  Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the skin graphic that you chose. Determine which is most likely to be the correct diagnosis and explain your reasoning using at least three different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning Resources.

Week two discussion

Discussion PromptCase StudyAnna Sanchez, a 21-year-old nursing student, comes to her nurse practitioner in December with a 5-week history of itchy eyes and nasal congestion with watery nasal discharge. She also complains of a “tickling” cough, especially at night, and she has had episodes of repetitive sneezing. She gets frequent “colds” every spring and fall.Physical ExaminationVital Signs: Afebrile; respiratory rate, pulse, and blood pressure all normalSkin: Flaking erythematous rash on the flexor surfaces of both armsHead, Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat:Tender over maxillary sinuses; sclera red and slightly swollen with frequent tearing; outer nares with red irritated skin; internal nares with red, boggy, moist mucosa and one medium-sized polyp on each side; pharynx slightly erythematous with clear postnasal drainage (NOTE: Nasal polyps are common in allergic rhinitis. They are edematous protrusions of the mucosa that are infiltrated with neutrophils, eosinophils, and plasma cells.)Lungs: Clear to auscultation and percussionInitial Post: Answer the following questions about Anna Sanchez and her condition.What evidence suggests that Anna does not have an acute severe infection?If Anna has allergic rhinitis, what type of hypersensitivity reaction is involved?A skin test indicates that Anna is allergic to cat dander. Two months ago, Anna’s roommate brought home a cat. Why didn’t Anna’s symptoms start when the cat entered the household, rather than 3 weeks later?What class of antibodies bind to the mast cells?What physiological mechanisms caused the redness of Anna’s nasal mucosa?What mechanisms caused Anna’s clear postnasal drainage?Response # 1: Carefully read the initial posts made by the other students in your small group.Respond to the initial post of one of your peers in your discussion group. Identify 1 differential diagnosis for the case study presented. Identify the underlying pathophysiology and clinical presentation of the Differential Diagnosis you identified in your response to your peers. Please Note: you may not duplicate a differential diagnosis posted by another peer in the discussion thread.Response #2: Go back into your own initial post.Identify what diagnostic testing or additional information you might need to establish a diagnosis.Identify what you believe is the correct diagnosis for the patient in the case study with the rationale for your response.Identify why the differential diagnoses left by your peers are or are not the correct diagnosis and support this with evidence from research and from the case posted by your peers.
