Please see attached document with instructions and grading rubric. Must follow instructions exactly and answer all components of the assignment. I need this completed and delivered by tomorrow 10/11/2020 at 2 pm EST. 

1.4 Participate in health care policy development to influence nursing practice and health care.

Research public health issues on the “Climate Change” or “Topics and Issues” pages of the American Public Health Association (APHA) website. Investigate a public health issue related to an environmental issue within the U.S. health care delivery system and examine its effect on a specific population.

Write a 750-1,000-word policy brief that summarizes the issue, explains the effect on the population, and proposes a solution to the issue.

Follow this outline when writing the policy brief:

1. Describe the policy health issue. Include the following information: (a) what population is affected, (b) at what level does it occur (local, state, or national), and (c) evidence about the issues supported by resources.
2. Create a problem statement.
3. Provide suggestions for addressing the health issue caused by the current policy. Describe what steps are required to initiate policy change. Include necessary stakeholders (government officials, administrator) and budget or funding considerations, if applicable.
4. Discuss the impact on the health care delivery system.

Include three peer-reviewed sources and two other sources to support the policy brief.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Everyone should have an approved topic for your final paper on an ethical dilemma of your choosing. This week’s assignment is to write the first, and most important, part of your paper (my topic “Incompetent/Impaired Nurses”)

This is the Introduction—Summary of What is Known about the Issue (See Grading Rubric for Final Paper)

1. Why is this topic important to investigate?
2. What is the scope, context, and significance of the topic as an ethical dilemma?
3. Highlight the importance of the problem/issue and make general statements about the problem/issue
4. Summarize the current understanding and background information about the topic
5. Include one reference source that will support your introductory thoughts about your topic.
6. APA 7th edition format; full sentences, attention to grammar

Implicit bias involves associations outside conscious awareness that leads to a negative evaluation of a person on the basis of irrelevant characteristics such as race, age or gender.  The assignment is to take any one of the Implicit Association Tests (IAT) to measure attitudes and beliefs you may not know about consciously.  The IAT may be especially interesting if it shows that you have an implicit bias attitude that you did not know about.  For example, you may believe that women and men should be equally associated with science, but your automatic associations could show that you (like many others) associate men with science more than you associate women with science 

1.Log on to the Implicit Project:

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html

2.  Follow the directions and take an IAT on a topic of your choice

3.  What did you discover about yourself?

4.  Were you aware of the implicit bias you had toward the characteristic you selected?

5.  How will you use this information to guide your nursing practice?

Using supporting documentation from at least one nursing publication, describe how evidence-based practice is different from research. How would you identify a research project as being an evidence-based intervention project versus the creation of knowledge in a nursing research project?
