Discussion 3

1) Identify a population to assess and develop an evidence-based, primary care health promotion recommendations to deliver in their own communities (Ex: Hispanics-Diabetes, African – Americans and Prostate Cancer, etc).

This an example of an student Posting: 

 Each population has some specific health issues that can require health promotion programs. American Indian population attracts attention in this context because of the specific state of affairs. Although this population has several main health issues for which health promotion can be required, all these issues can be solved by following the directions that cause a generally healthy lifestyle.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (n.d.), the main issues in the American Indian population is diabetes, obesity, and tobacco use. Even though those are three different issues, the health promotion for solving them is quite similar. Such promotions have to be generally focused on a healthy lifestyle. This means healthy nutrition – less fat and sweet food and more healthy food and balanced nutrition. The next item is physical activity – starting with such common advice as more walking and ending with making sport a healthy habit. This advice is also helpful for coping with tobacco use. This habit often appears when a person has stress with which it is hard to cope. However, sport is helpful in decreasing the level of stress, and therefore, it can be useful to break the smoking habit. Therefore, one can see that advice directed on causing a healthy lifestyle is helpful for coping with health issues, widespread in the American Indian population.

This way, one can see that even though the American Indian population has several main health issues that can require healthcare promotion programs, all these issues can be solved by following the directions that cause a generally healthy lifestyle. The issues of diabetes, obesity, and tobacco can be solved with healthy nutrition and physical activity.

Discussion Chapter 9

Try taking a different route to class the next time it meets. Before you do this, think about how many changes, large and small, you will have to make to do this.

Will you have to leave earlier to bein class on time?

In order to be in class on time, I would have to leave earlier, since as a nurse, you are an agent of change in a formal and informal legitimate influence and whose resolution is to direct and guide growth. Arriving in class on time is an important virtue that should be checked on. Nurses should be a good role model to the other health professionals and be a guidance to them. In real life scenario, timekeeping is essential. There is a need to be at the frontline on time to provide a necessary change in the working station, hence improving work procedures and much importantly, the patient care.

Will you meet different people on your way to class?

By taking a different route and leaving earlier, I would probably meet different people on my way to class. The new route to class may allow me to recognize other individuals that I had not acknowledged before during my previous route. Therefore, on the way, I will encounter other determined nursing students.

See different sights?

By changing the route to class, I would be exposed to new sights, buildings, and locations. When you accept the new change, there are some other aspects that may be altered like thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which may bring positive results to the new experience.

Would you change your route to class on the day of the final exam?

I would not change my route to class on the day of the final exam. I believe that changing the route on such an important day would lead to disorganizing of the plans and maybe a form of time-wasting, since it is something new and requires adjustment. In this regard, it may be better to analyze the situation to see if the change you are making is necessary. If not, following the same route will prevent further delays or new changes and challenges to previous plans.

Why or why not? Summarize the positives and negatives of this small change. Relate your responses to this change to the way staff nurses feel when an administrator makes what he or she thinks is a “minor” change.

Changing routes may be necessary if a previous routine may be affecting the success of an outcome. For instance, an administrator may provide staff nurses with a change that he or she believes is necessary for improving the outcome of a task. The change may positively affect patient care and overall health. However, this small change may negatively impact staff nurses in that their daily routine might be altered, which may affect and delay their performance throughout the day. For this reason, a leader should be knowledgeable about the change being implemented and the way it may positively and negatively impact those involved.

Think about a change that has occurred in your life. Some examples may be a change of role, a move, a marriage, a birth, a divorce, or a death

How did you react to the change?

The death of a loved one is a process that is inevitable, since it happens without someone’s concession or plans. Although my reaction was not at all pleasant, one learns ways to cope with the situation since you become affected in one way or another. The environment also gives you good exposure to how to overcome the challenges that you encounter. Learning to accept the situation is the best way to approach challenges the way they come.

Would you have reacted differently if you had had more information?

If I had known all of the details of my family member’s condition, I believe I would have reacted differently to the situation, since I would have had a good exposure on how to deal with the situation and would have known what to expect. Although death is a subject no one is mentally prepared for, having more information about the situation would have helped explain what was going on and would have provided me with a glimpse of what was to come.

Using Lewin’s model describes the essential elements in the situation and how you eventually achieved a comfortable outcome.

Lewin’s model relates efficiently to real-life situations in managing change in oneself and involves three steps, which include unfreezing, changing, and refreezing (“Lewin’s change theory,” 2019). He describes how to tackle a problem adequately and how you develop pathways on encountered solutions if it requires change. The change agent should recheck the affected systems to ensure the shift stabilizes well and is maintained. Using this theory, I first directed behavior away from the existing situation. Then, I found a way to distract myself in order to change the unpleasant feeling brought on by the death of my family member. Lastly, I implemented the distraction method regularly in order to make it a daily habit and try to surpass the inevitable tragedy.

Assignment: Pharmacotherapy for Cardiovascular Disorders

…heart disease remains the No. 1 killer in America; nearly half of all Americans have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoke—some of the leading risk factors for heart disease…

—Murphy et al., 2018

Despite the high mortality rates associated with cardiovascular disorders, improved treatment options do exist that can help address those risk factors that afflict the majority of the population today.

As an advanced practice nurse, it is your responsibility to recommend appropriate treatment options for patients with cardiovascular disorders. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug therapy, advanced practice nurses must consider aspects that might influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes such as medical history, other drugs currently prescribed, and individual patient factors.

  • Select one the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior factors.
  • Reflect on how the factor you selected might influence the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.
  • Consider how changes in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy.
  • Think about how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes. Reflect on whether you would modify the current drug treatment or provide an alternative treatment option for the patient.
