Exercise 2.5
Diabetes affects a growing number of Americans. You have been invited to join a collaborative of community agencies interested in tackling diabetes from a community perspective. I reside in Maryland, in Howard county.
1) What resources will you use to identify different outcomes related to diabetes?
2) What outcomes related to diabetes are of most interest to community members?
3) How will you compare the outcomes you select to monitor at the local level with state and national outcomes?
The objectives for Week 1 are:
Integrate key terms of epidemiology and population health to the Advanced Practice Nurse role.
Recommend primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies as related to the objectives of HP2020.
Plan for inter-professional collaborations aimed at achieving HP2020 goals and objectives.
Compare and contrast sources of epidemiological data that are used to inform levels of prevention.
The last weekly objective, #4, uses the word “sources”. This correlates to Exercise 2.5’s use of the word “resources”. By this it means, where can a provider find data that inform them regarding outcomes? What is this data, what are the outcomes? Consider morbidity, mortality, incidence, prevalence, cases, various cultural populations such as racial or socioeconomic information.
Data sources include but are not limited to these examples: State level public health departments, state-level health, and human services or task forces, federal level agencies, CDC, HP2020, Office of Minority Health
What resources will you use to identify different outcomes related to diabetes?
I think it is helpful, to begin with defining population health outcomes. The next piece is to clearly understand how these outcomes are different than individual outcomes. What terms are used to describe population health-based outcomes?
After clearly identifying those pieces, the next step is to know where a provider can find that information. Please respond to these questions in your reply post using the course textbook and Canvas readings to support the content.
Find an article in the library that is about population health outcomes. This can be outcomes for any health issue, diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, etc. It should be for the US. Please provide a link to the article in your reply along with a brief summary.
respond with a minimum of three (3) paragraphs each.
You should address each bullet point in the exercise.
Your work should have in-text citations integrating at a minimum one scholarly article from this week’s readings and course textbook. ( Curley, L. A., & Vitale, A. P. (2016). Population-based nursing: Concepts and competencies for advanced practice (2 nd Ed.). New York; NY, Springer Publishing Company).
APA format should be utilized to include a reference list.
Correct grammar, spelling, and APA should be adhered to when writing, work should be scholarly without personalization or first-person use.
in addition to your textbook, Data sources include but are not limited to these examples: State level public health departments, state-level health, and human services or task forces, federal level agencies, CDC, HP2020, Office of Minority Health

Elements of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the word which medical professions dread the most. The unfortunate thing is that medical malpractice happens frequently, and recovering from the condition is a costly and lengthy procedure for both the individuals and the facility involved. While the matter is mort often linked with physicians, it is also prevalent in nursing. Medical malpractice in nursing has increased in recent times and is likely because the issues are not discussed extensively in nursing. The standard care set by institutions is expected to be adhered to by all employers of the facility. That includes taking caution while handling patients to avoid the occurrence of medical malpractice. The four medical malpractice elements are duty, breach of duty, damages, and causation. Duty must be owed to the patient by a medical professional charged with the care of the patient. The doctor-patient connection is a typical instance where the obligation exists. The medical professional who had the duty of care for a patient must have failed in her/his duty by not exercising the medical skill or care level that another medical professional in a similar specialty would have exercised in the same situation. An example is when a fellow medical professional is called to attest as to the proper standard of care. Breach of Duty example, the patient is owed a safe environment, and a nurse has a duty to follow physicians’ orders for the patient. The specific duty owed to the patient has been breached, meaning that the duty has not been met. In terms of the safe environment, perhaps a nurse forgets to put the bed rail up and the patient falls. The nurse’s failure to maintain the patient’s safe environment would constitute a breach of duty.
Damages: The breach of duty must have caused injuries that result in damages. The injuries the patient suffered when falling out of bed are the damages that can be claimed. If the patient was not injured, there are no damages.
Causation: This is generally the most difficult element to prove in a medical malpractice lawsuit. There must be a direct cause-and-effect link between the breach of duty and the injury. The breach of duty must have caused the injury. In the example, if the nurse had not left the bed railing down, the patient would not have fallen. The nurse’s breach of duty caused the injury.
A patient needs to have suffered a physical or emotional injury while in the medical practitioner’s care. The injury might be a fresh one or a worsening of a present injury. Solid proof must exist that the breach of duty by the medical professional caused a patient’s injury. An effective medical malpractice suit must prove that all four elements are present. If the medical professional being sued or defendant demonstrate that one or more of the four elements is missing, the suit will not prevail. There are several ways in which medical malpractice might be avoided in the future. Medical professionals need to ensure that they make referrals with patients to prevent patients from following through on instructions. Doctors to sufficiently document patient visits and treatment schedules, which will help illustrate their competency should any issue arise. The medical professionals can strive for an open and trusting relationship with patients, encouraging patients to disclose all the information that might be necessary for effective treatment.
