Health Maintenance And Screening Plans

Health Maintenance and Screening Plans Clinical preventive services, such as routine disease screening and scheduled immunizations, are key to reducing death and disability and improving the Nation’s health. Yet, despite the fact that these services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act, millions of children, adolescents, and adults go without clinical preventive services that could protect them from developing a number of serious diseases or help them treat certain health conditions before they worsen.Discuss preventative services and ways to promote and overcome the barriers in your clinical practice to deliver holistic care including the recommended services for all patients across a lifespan. Please include examples, evidence-based information and references to support your work.

Pediatric Teaching Project

The pediatric teaching project is designed to allow the nursing student to demonstrate their ability and proficiency in developing and implementing an educational program for children on a specific health related topic. Groups must consist of 3-5 students. Each group will be assigned a topic along with a corresponding grade level. The topics offered are as follows:

– Stranger Safety and Street safety (bicycle, outdoor play, traffic)-4th Grade Level

When completing the teaching plan, students should consider the age and developmental level of the group they will be teaching. What is their attention span estimated to be? What activities will you do to make the teaching interactive and get the kids involved? What level of language will you use to explain things at the child’s level of understanding?

After the project is completed, the group must submit a final summary paper (maximum 5 pages, excluding references and cover page) in APA format with a minimum of 3 peer reviewed references. This paper should cover the following topics, which are recommended as headings in the document.

o Project description (Who was your target population? What topic did you choose? Why? What developmental consideration were included? What teaching strategies were used?

o Evaluation of learning (Were the learning objectives achieved? How did you know? What method of evaluation was used?) **Use a hypothetical scenario**

o Summary of overall experience (Do you feel it was helpful to the children? What were the strengths or weaknesses of the teaching methods used? Would you do anything differently. Were there any other health care issues observed that could be identified as areas for further instruction?) **Use a hypothetical scenario**

o References

NOTE : VERY IMPORTANT, Please I need a plagiarism report include.

MN576 Advanced Practice Nursing: Discussion Board: Compare Contraception Methods

Will need minimum of 300 words, APA Style, double spaced, times new roman, font 12, and and Include: (3 references within years 2015-2018) with intext citations.

Many elements need to be considered individually by a woman, man, or couple when choosing the most appropriate contraceptive method. Some of these elements include safety, effectiveness, availability (including accessibility and affordability), and acceptability. Although most contraceptive methods are safe for use by most women, U.S. MEC provides recommendations on the safety of specific contraceptive methods for women with certain characteristics and medical conditions.

Directions:

Compare and contrast two forms of contraception including:

indications,

contraindications,

side effects,

US Medical Eligibility Criteria (USMRC),

US Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use (USSPR), affordability, and mechanisms of action.

Advanced Nursing Practice: Discussion Board: Contraceptive Counselling

Will need minimum of 300 words, APA Style, double spaced, times new roman, font 12, and and Include: (3 references within years 2015-2018) with intext citations.

Contraceptive counseling provides education, dispels misinformation, facilitates selection of a method that will be successful for the individual, and encourages patient involvement in healthcare decisions and life goals. Discussing contraception brings the nurse practitioner and patient together to create a tailored plan that meets the individual’s reproductive needs over a lifetime.

Discussion:

Discuss any clinical encounters that you may have had relating to contraception. How did you counsel patients on their choices and possible risks?

Describe how you would explain the differences to your patients in the long acting reversal contraceptive devices.

Effective Coalition Leadership

Locate a state or national coalition advocating for your approved healthcare policy concern. Who are the coalition partners and is there an identified leader? Can you identify successes indicating strong leadership? What can you add to the content for your upcoming interview from the work of this coalition?

Leadership skills involve an ability to understand emotional intelligence and skills needed to become a nursing leader.

An effective leader is empathetic, understands multiple leadership skills as well as flexible. Leadership skills involve an ability to understand emotional intelligence and skills needed to become a nursing leader. Self-awareness involves the ability to understand one’s emotions and feelings and how these affects and influences others. Self-awareness is significant to leadership effectiveness, and many leaders exercise it. It is a way of exploring tendencies, beliefs, individual personalities, natural inclinations as well as value system (Huber, 2018). People react to things, synthesize and learn differently. Self-awareness help to spend time occasionally in self-reflection to achieve a better insight in ourselves. It assists the managers to determine the gaps in management skills that promote skill development. It assists managers in stress management and motivation, with intuitive decision-making and finds most effective situations. Self-awareness helps people to strengths as well as cope with the weaknesses.

An example, a person good in seeing the big picture surrounding the decision but not good in concentrating at the details may need to consult the subordinates or the colleagues who are more detail-oriented in making main decisions. Combining detail-oriented and big picture oriented decision makers may produce high quality decisions. In a team, a good leader is important (Huber, 2018). For instance, in the hospital nurses may be busy and the patient may require multiple things, some have a change in condition, and some may be in great pain. Nurses who are well-organized, manage time and help other colleagues make differences, enables him or her to run smoothly and less stressful. Nurses using the self-awareness are able to use their feelings and emotions as a guide in decision-making. As nursing, one needs to understand how his/her emotions and attitude affects and influences other employees.

Comment 2

Self-awareness means knowing your values, personality, needs, habits, emotions, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Human beings are complex and diverse. To become more self-aware, we should develop an understanding of ourselves in many areas. Key areas for self-awareness include our personality traits, personal values, habits, emotions, and the psychological needs that drive our behaviors. Individual leaders who are able to regulate their own emotions are better equipped to provide a “holding environment” for the people who work for and with them, creating a culture where people feel at ease.

In our highly competitive culture, this can seem counterintuitive. In fact, many of us operate on the belief that we must appear as though we know everything all the time or else people will question our abilities, diminishing our effectiveness as leaders. If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll admit that really the opposite is true. Because whether you acknowledge your weaknesses or not, everyone still sees them. So rather than conceal them, the person who tries to hide weaknesses actually highlights them, creating the perception of a lack of integrity and self-awareness.

Self-awareness helps managers identify gaps in their management skills, which promotes skill development. But self-awareness also helps managers find situations in which they will be most effective, assists with intuitive decision making, and aids stress management and motivation of oneself and others.

change of shift admissions and effects on patient care

My executive summary will be on change of shift admissions and effects on patient care. Change of shift is a vulnerable time for both patients and nurses. During change of shift, critical informatin regarding patients is communicated to the on-coming nurse and ancillary staff. Interuptions during hand-off, including admissions and transfers may hinder the integrity of communication between nurses and delay the completion of critical patient-centered tasks. I would like to create a policy to decrease the flow of traffic during critical shift change times between the hours of 7:15am-8:15am and 7:15pm-8:15pm.

Comment 2

I would like to describe differing approaches of nursing leaders and managers to issues in practice when discussing nurse-staffing ratios. This is a big issue in the country because aside from California, legally mandated nurse-staffing ratios do not exist. When it is discussed in the hospital now, nursing supervisors discourage it by telling nurses that it is not all it’s cracked up to be. Some hospitals can go under due to the need to staff appropriately. When talking to a nurse who has worked under both situations, she has said that the cost of healthcare ends up declining in a good way because nurses are making less overworked mistakes and patient-satisfaction is up. This can be the big difference between managers and leaders in the big picture of things. Managers will listen to nursing complaints of being overworked beyond safe circumstances and the manager will simply say, “this is what you signed up for when you became a nurse,” like we’re soldiers complaining about being shot at when we chose to be a soldier. We signed up for nursing to care for patients and participate in the optimization of their help. Leaders will listen to nursing complaints and ask themselves what can they do to help. At the end of the day, if more people were leaders, nursing shortages may not exist. Nurses would be happier and stay in their positions longer.

suicide prevention program.

As a passionate psychiatry nurse, I picked my executive summary to be a suicide prevention program. Deaths by suicide have risen across the United States as reported by the Center for Disease Control in 2017. Suicide deaths are considered a crisis in the Mental Health profession. Suicide is not biased. It affects Caucasians, Africa-Americans, Indian, etc. It also affects the young, middle age, and elderly. According to the CDC, over 45,000 reported suicides occurred in 2016 in the United States. Suicide was ranked the tenth

leading cause of death.

There needs to be more programs for suicide prevention that is readily available and ready to help. The State of Alabama has a suicide hotline and several programs but they are in the big cities and that is not feasible for people who live an hour or two away. There needs to be more help all people who suffer mental illnesses.
