Obesity is a complex disorder that is characterized by an excess amount of body fats with victims having an abnormally high body mass index. Researchers have proved obesity to be a risk factor for the development of other diseases. Evidence translation is a process that entails production of evidence through investigations and integration of the evidence in practice to help reach goals and produce a change of behaviors and lifestyles for better health.

Common barriers.

Translation of evidence in correcting obesity and causing change is not always smooth, but faced with challenges. Lack of resources and support, for instance, challenges the translation of any evidence on to the actual process since change of diet is a signi9ficant factor to consider individuals may not have enough money to get the recommended diet and end up not being able to correct the disorder. Insufficient knowledge and failure to clarify the ideal strategies to correct obesity may cause difficulty in the implementation of the set policies. Additionally, target individuals may not be willing to partake in the policies. For instance, people may not be willing to do exercise and that would pose a barrier to effective evidence translation (White, et al. 2016)

Inadequate evidence among the evidence translators can be a challenge when a translator faces questions from the targets and may result to unwillingness of individuals to change (White et al. 2016). Poor communication skills when teaching the audience about any evidence may result to conflicts that hinder the process of change.

Adopting strategies to be aware of new evidenceet al.

To get new ideas, I can read recent researches that have been conducted. I could also choose to follow the health organization on social media to get every single update that is posted. Moreover, I can choose to conduct research involving both health care providers and other residents to get their views and gain new knowledge. To effect any change, I need to present enough evidence why obese is bad and therefore I would gather information enough to convince the target individuals to change. Interview can be of significant help too. Interviewing healthcare practitioners as well as researches can provide me with a wide range of information that I can use as my evidence or a basis for further research.

Determination of evidence to implement.

Determining what evidence to implement is critical if anyone wants to start any change. The first thing is to determine the cause of the obesity. Some may be inherited, some drugs, others developed due to lifestyles and others because of other illnesses. Different cases may require different approaches or even combine approaches. Also, I will investigate the cost of the change and the financial status of the target group (Dang, et al. 2018). Age also matters when choosing the type of evidence to choose. For instance, obesity caused by sedentary lifestyles like drinking alcohol, eating fast foods and foods with much fat and lack of exercise can be solved by encouraging individual to take exercises. Exercises can involve walking to work instead of driving, or reducing alcohol and fast food consumption. Obesity caused by other diseases can be solved by addressing the underlying disease and adding healthy diets and exercise.

Lack of knowledge for the risks associated with obesity and possible ways of getting away with it can be addressed by educating the target group, while the one caused by certain drugs can be solved by using an alternative drug with less effect.

Ensuring continuation and sustainability of change.

To ensure continuity and sustainability of the change, I will set goals with each person and remind them how important their change is in relation to their health. I will also access them on regular bases and see whether they are doing the expected. I will also organize programs to educate them to keep them on their feet (Dang, et al. 2018). I will also check for any available motivation that can keep them on track. Asking individuals to keep a record that I should check on a regular basis can also be of help.

In this Assignment, you investigate your state’s laws concerning voluntary and involuntary commitment. You also analyze a case to determine if the client is eligible for involuntary commitment.

Scenario for Week 7 Case:

You are a PMHNP working in a large intercity hospital. You receive a call from the answering service informing you that a “stat” consult has been ordered by one of the hospitalists in the ICU. Upon arriving in the ICU, you learn that your consult is a 14 year old male who overdosed on approximately 50 Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) tablets in an apparent suicide attempt. At the scene, a suicide note was found indicating that he wanted to die because his girlfriend’s parents felt that their daughter was too young to be “dating.” The client stated in the suicide note that he could not “live without her” and decided to take his own life. Although he has been medically stabilized and admitted to the ICU, he has been refusing to talk with the doctors or nurses. The hospital staff was finally able to get in touch with the clients parents (using contact information retrieved from the 14 year old’s cell phone). Unbeknown to the hospital staff, the parents are divorced, and both showed up at the hospital at approximately the same time, each offering their own perspectives on what ought to be done. The client’s father is demanding that the client be hospitalized because of the suicide, but his mother points out that he does not have “physical custody” of the child. The client’s mother demands that the client be discharged to home with her stating that her son’s actions were nothing more than a “stunt” and “an attempt at manipulating the situation that he didn’t like.” The client’s mother then becomes “nasty” and informs you that she works as a member of the clerical staff for the state board of nursing, and if you fail to discharge her child “right now” she will make you “sorry.” How would you proceed?

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Evaluate clients for voluntary commitment
• Evaluate clients for involuntary commitment based on state laws
• Recommend actions for supporting parents of clients not eligible for involuntary commitment
• Recommend actions for treating clients not eligible for involuntary commitment

To Prepare for this Practicum:

• Review the Learning Resources concerning voluntary and involuntary commitment.
• Read the Week 7 Scenario in your Learning Resources.
• Research your state’s laws concerning voluntary and involuntary commitment.

The Assignment (2–3 pages):

• Based on the scenario, would you recommend that the client be voluntarily committed? Why or why not?

• Based on the laws in your state, would the client be eligible for involuntary commitment? Explain why or why not.

• Did understanding the state laws confirm or challenge your initial recommendation regarding involuntarily committing the client? Explain.

• If the client were not eligible for involuntary commitment, explain what actions you may be able to take to support the parents for or against voluntary commitment.

• If the client were not eligible for involuntary commitment, explain what initial actions you may be able to take to begin treating the client.

Developing a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.

In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.
  • This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
• Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.

By Day 3 of Week 10

Post at least two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified.

 Select Health Policy Analysis Paper on a local, state, or federal policy that you have explored along with recommendations based upon the analysis.

 • Analyze and evaluate the Health Policy 

• Identify application of health policy into clinical practice.

 ➢ Your paper must have an Introduction and a Conclusion 

➢ Maximum of 6 pages (not including Title and Reference page).

 ➢ APA format
