How were the claims of Republicans and Democrats evident in the most recent national debate over reforming our nation’s health care system?
In fact, you can watch any news program right now, and learn of the new proposed Republican health care plan. Is it important to cover those with preexisting conditions? What about those in need, who cannot afford insurance or medical care? If a family cannot afford insurance are they simply not given medical care? Or do those in need use the emergency room for their heath care needs? And then, who pays for this more expensive medical care? Should the most wealthy in our Country be given a significant tax break while many others do without?
In your own words, explain the conservative, liberal, and radical-left view of health care in the U.S.
Which of the three political views do you support? Do you agree with the current health care system? If not, then what alternative do you propose? Again, explain.
You are an administrator in a community health center. A screening program is necessary for a deadly disease, which is curable only if detected early. The tests available are one with a high sensitivity and low specificity and one with high specificity and low sensitivity. You must make a decision as to which would be more appropriate.

Florence Nightingale recognized the connection of environmental conditions to human health. Based on what you have learned from the readings, what are the major environmental conditions affecting the health of people in your community?
How might a community health nurse respond to questions posed regarding the safety of well water versus public water versus bottled water?
The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and develop a health promotion that can be presented to caregivers.
Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional slide for references at the end.
Include the following in your presentation:
Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants.
Create a health promotion plan that can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants.
Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At least three scholarly resources are required. Two of the three resources must be peer-reviewed and no more than 6 years old.
Provide readers with two community resources, a national resource, and a Web-based resource. Include a brief description and contact information for each resource.
In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored
