Part One: Describe the signs, symptoms, and nursing interventions for older adults with: cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration detached retina, and corneal ulcers.   

The cases of eye-related challenges infections have increased significantly, especially among people above 65 years. Although every eye disease has its unique characteristics, the patients can use basic signs and symptoms to ascertain the differences between cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, detached retina, and corneal ulcers (Dana, 2019). Some of the common symptoms that a patient can look to ascertain if they have any of the above diseases include but are not limited to severe headache, watery eyes, painful eyes, redness of the eyes, blurred eyesight, and irritation by light (Pirani et al., 2019). Some of the most common signs that the eye specialist can check to ascertain if a patient is suffering from a given eye infection include allergies, head change in body temperature, and irritations.

However, effective diagnosis and patient screening is the most accurate way that ophthalmologist and other specialists can identify and evaluate the causes of a given symptom. According to Yang et al. (2019), multiple researches have proved that some eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration detached retina may pose similar symptoms and medical signs. However, technology and research have played a significant role in initiating more effective techniques to distinguish between two diseases with similar symptoms and medical signs (to Yang et al., 2019).

Education and the creation of awareness are some of the most fundamental interventions that the eye specialist and other medical providers can use to eradicate various eye diseases. For instance, some diseases may occur due to inpatriate hygiene or exposure to harmful light rays. Moreover, the healthcare providers can prevent the occurrence of various eye infections by participating in the community-based healthcare program that seeks to devolve various forms of medical care such as diagnosis, treatment, and management of various forms of eye challenges.

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment. 

The purpose of this assignment is to assess leadership styles, traits, and practices as a nursing professional, establish the importance of effective interprofessional communication as a leader in nursing, and to explore the role of servant leadership in nursing practice.

Read the study materials on leadership and complete the topic quiz activities to better understand your leadership qualities.

Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your peers when it comes to being a leader.

As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.  

Include the following in your presentation:

 1. Each group member: Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices.

4. Discuss what leadership traits and styles are necessary to be an effective communicator. Explain the importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community members).

6. Discuss how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong understanding of their personal leadership traits can successfully lead others and navigate the unique challenges that are part of nursing and health care. Provide two examples that illustrate your main ideas.

     MAIN POSTING 6050

     Evaluation is an invaluable component of all policy programs.  It provides data, commentary, and critical evidence for ongoing improvement, enhancement, and effectiveness of programs. It helps policymakers, administrators, clinicians, financial stakeholders, and the public understand what works and what needs to change to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities (Milstead & Short, 2019).

     There are some opportunities that exists for RN and APRNs to actively participate in policy review.  One of such opportunity is by joining a professional organization, these organizations often have lobbyists that bring nursing issues to Capitol Hill.  An example of such an organization is the American Nurses Association (ANA) which helps the RNs and the APRNs to understand how they can engage in policy review.  Nurses can participate in policy review on local, state, and federal levels (American Nurses Association, 2020).

     Another opportunity for RNs and APRNs to participate in policy review is through the workplace. The nurses are professionals who have the responsibility and capacity to influence the existing healthcare delivery programs.  A major role of the RNs and APRNs is to promote quality health and this can be achieved by participating in policy review.  Nonetheless, these opportunities have their challenges.  Some nurses do not want to belong to professional organizations due to financial obligations and time constraints.  In the workplace, nurses are not even aware of the policies that need to be reviewed.

     Strategies to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities to participate in policy review is to create awareness of the benefits of professional organizations to nurses. Nursing schools need to include healthcare policy education as part of their curriculum as well as encourage some form of political involvement.  Employers need to provide nurses with the time and resources to help them participate in policy review.  According to Laureate Education (2018), policy evaluation helps us to know if we are achieving our goals, if we are off the mark, and how we can improve.

Hello, I need a short, good and positive comment for each of these posts separately. Thank you. I need at least two references.
