Module 4 Discussion

Population and community health are extremely important for the well being of our population. Healthcare providers play important roles in improving population health and are also the health educators for their community. Population health is the outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. Community health is a branch of public health which focuses on people and their role as determinants of their own and other people’s health in contrast to environmental health, which focuses on the physical environment and its impact on people’s health. All healthcare professionals can take many actions to promote population and community health. There are many ideas about actions that need to be taken to improve the health among the population in Miami and the communities within the city.

 I went to Broward College for my BSN and the last class we had to take before graduate from the program was community health. The purpose of this class was to integrate us as healthcare provider in the community which allowed us to help the less fortunate people or the vulnerable population. A group of us chose to complete the class with the homeless population in Broward county. We went to the homeless shelters to provide primary care to the homeless individuals by taking their blood pressure, blood sugar, and so on. We literally had an open clinic at each of the homeless shelters. We had doctors and nurse practitioners that volunteer to provide care to them. It is extremely important for healthcare professionals to promote community health to the homeless population because it can help decrease illnesses and many diseases among them.

According to Tsai, Jenkins, & Lawton (2017), individuals who are homeless represent the most vulnerable, indigent group in the United States and thus may have great medical needs that must be addressed to prevent sicknesses and illness. A few studies have shown access to healthcare can improve the health and lives of various patient populations (Tsai et al, 2017). Lack of access to healthcare or lack of health insurance is one of the major issues in the United States. The homeless population is among the vulnerable populations that suffer more due to their lack of healthcare coverage. By volunteering to help, healthcare providers can improve their quality of life. These individuals are not able to purchase or pay for the most basic health insurance and will not be able to get any treatment without us (healthcare providers) volunteering to help at their shelters.

According to Bernstein, Meurer, Plumb, & Jackson (2015), reported rates of diabetes and hypertension in the homeless population range from 2% to 18% for diabetes and 18% to 41% for hypertension. The percentages of homeless individuals being diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension will continue to increase because they do not have access to healthcare. there is also a growing consensus that the adult homeless population in the United States is aging and this trend is cause by multiple economic and social challenges facing individuals in this country.

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.  Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

1. Evidence-based solution
2. Nursing intervention
3. Patient care
4. Health care agency
5. Nursing practice

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

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance. 

I choose the same topic from my capstone question plz make the PICOT question from my last week’s capstone which is 1.Advances in preparation of SBAR patients of COVID-19 with special references to patients with metabolic and cardiovascular risk.

 In order to write a case study paper, you must carefully address a number of sections in a specific order with specific information contained in each. The guideline below outlines each of those sections.

Section

Information to Include

Introduction (patient and problem)

• Explain who the patient is (Age, gender, etc.)
• Explain what the problem is (What were they diagnosed with, or what happened?)
• Introduce your main argument (What should you as a nurse focus on or do?)

Pathophysiology

• Explain the disease (What are the symptoms? What causes it?)

History

• Explain what health problems the patient has (Have they been diagnosed with other diseases?)
• Detail any and all previous treatments (Have they had any prior surgeries or are they on medication?)

Nursing Physical Assessment

• List all the patient’s health stats in sentences with specific numbers/levels (Blood pressure, bowel sounds, ambulation, etc.)

Related Treatments

• Explain what treatments the patient is receiving because of their disease

Nursing Diagnosis & Patient Goal

• Explain what your nursing diagnosis is (What is the main problem for this patient? What need to be addressed?)
• Explain what your goal is for helping the patient recover (What do you want to change for the patient?)

 Nursing Interventions

• Explain how you will accomplish your nursing goals, and support this with citations (Reference the literature)

 Evaluation

• Explain how effective the nursing intervention was (What happened after your nursing intervention? Did the patient get better?)

 Recommendations

• Explain what the patient or nurse should do in the future to continue recovery/improvement

Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length and will be graded on how well you complete each of the above sections. You will also be graded on your use of APA Style and on your application of nursing journals into the treatments and interventions. For integrating nursing journals, remember the following: 

• Make sure to integrate citations into all of your paper
• Support all claims of what the disease is, why it occurs and how to treat it with references to the literature on this disease
• Always use citations for information that you learned from a book or article; if you do not cite it, you are telling your reader that YOU discovered that information (how to treat the disease, etc.)

Name two different methods for evaluating evidence. Compare and contrast these two methods.

 It is evident that the nurse is not providing culturally congruent care, according to Burkhardt and Nathaniel (2020), “dealing with diversity is an essential component of nursing care, nurses are expected to demonstrate competence in providing culturally congruent care” (p.295). On page 296 Burkhardt and Nathaniel states “cultural competence includes cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, cultural safety, and linguistic competency”, however in the scenario the nurse did not practice cultural competence neither did the nurse avoid ethnocentrism. Fowler et al. (2012) says “When a challenge to health occurs, the religious person typically relies on practices or rituals of his or her tradition to find comfort or guidance” (p.321). Therefore, as the nurse I would assess spirituality and keep those things in mind during intake of the patient, I would note them in the chart so that all are aware. As the nurse I would allow the mom to continue with her doings, I would assure her that she is in a safe environment to incorporate her beliefs and culture. I would guide cultural sensitivity, cultural safety, and cultural awareness.
