Your final paper must discuss the multitude of legal viewpoints, ethical issues, and issues of interprofessionalism related to your topic (if you are in the MPH program, your topic needs to be related to a public health policy). Your paper must also discuss how values, ethics, and sense of interprofessionalism may shape how the topic/policy is created, interpreted, analyzed, and communicated in legal and ethical terms. Finally, your paper must use five to seven evidence-based, peer-reviewed sources to support your findings.

To compare the amount of vitamins and minerals in a supplement to your own personal DRI/RDA recommendations. Based on a 2011 study at Univ of California, Berkeley, more than 50% of us take at least one vitamin or mineral supplement each day. Of those taking a supplement, 82% take a multivitamin/mineral supplement to the tune of over $25 billion dollars a year.  Another study reveals there is no association between multivitamin use and the reduced risk of mortality, any type of cancer or almost any type of cardiovascular disease. In other words, many of the supplements we take are not supporting heath yet we still take them. This activity will help you evaluate a good vs.. potentially dangerous supplement. We recommend no more that 100% of your DRI should be taken in any supplement unless for clinical therapy. Here you will compare a supplement with your own personal DRIs to assess its benefit. 

Directions

1. Select a supplement you are currently taking or look at a label in the grocery store. Your supplement MUST contain 8 or more vitamins and/or minerals.
2. Complete the Vitamin/Mineral Comparison worksheet. Record the nutrient profile of the supplement and then compare the nutrient levels with your personal DRIs. The charts in the front cover of your text will provide all your DRIs.
3. Also, for many supplements you will need to convert IU to mg or ug (mcg) in order to compare them. To help you with the calculations use these conversions:

   Vitamin A: 1 IU = 0.3 mcg (10,000 IU X 0.3 = 3000 mcg or 3000 RAE
   Vitamin D: 1 IU = 0.025 mcg (400 IU X 0.025 = 10 mcg)
   Vitamin E: 1 IU = 0.67 mg eg. 30 IU x 0.67 = 20 mg (natural vitamin E)
                     1 IU = 0.45 mg 30 IU x 0.45 = 13.5 mg (synthetic vitamin E

1. Create a security plan for a medium sized health care facility. In your security plan, evaluate how you would approach security threats from both inside and outside the organization. Be sure that you address the following items in your security plan:
   1. physical and administrative safeguards: employee education, health information archival and retrieval systems, disaster recovery, storage media
   2. access safeguards: authentication, password management
   3. network safeguards: cloud computing, firewalls, encryption / decryption and using mobile devices to deliver healthcare
2. Critique the plan you have written, identifying its strengths, elements that were not covered in the text, and any additional omissions or weaknesses of the plan.

I’m working on a nursing project and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Create an informational flyer for the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. You should use Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher to create your advertisement. Include the following information:

What is the HCUP Program?

There are several different database tools used in this program. Name at least four database tools and give a summary for each.

Indicate on the advertisement if your state participates in the HCUP program. If your state does participate in the program, provide the contact information for the person listed.

Instructions: 

Post should be between 200-300 words and should be in APA format with in-text citations.

Currently I am a nursing student doing my preceptorship on the OR (operating room) unit. Based on this information, please describe a clinical problem that you see or have seen in practice. You will then identify, revise, or develop a policy, protocol, algorithm, or standardized guideline to be used in your practice site that is based on current research evidence. You are proposing the implementation of an intervention that is supported by research; thus you are proposing an evidence-based practice (EBP) project. You are not proposing a study to be conducted in your agency.

1. Discuss one or two potential ideas you have for your evidence-based practice project
2. Give rationales on why you chose this idea/s for your EBP project
3. Use at least one recent scholarly source to support your ideas

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Peer Response: 

Instructions: 

Please reply to the classmate’s post (attached document) and provide thoughtful suggestions, questions, or ideas for their topics.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: 

Nurse leaders must work with staff to foster respect for varied lifestyles. Showing respect to all patients and colleagues, irrespective of their cultural differences, tells staff that differences are valuable. This discussion is designed to introduce key principles that nurse leaders must address in leading and managing diverse groups.

Use a scholarly source to define multiculturalism, cross-culturalism, and transculturalism.

Explain the definitions in your own words, and give an example of applying each term to a leadership situation. For example, think of a time in your practice when you, as a leader, or your leader used multiculturalism to promote inclusion among colleagues or patients.

• You are a CEO of a new hospital. As part of the new hospital’s strategic plan development, you need to establish a vision statement, develop at least 4 organizational goals, and create a values statement. You will then respond to the following discussion prompts. Develop the following for a new hospital organization:
  • Vision statement
  • At least 4 organizational goals
  • Organizational values statement

  Discussion Prompts:

  • Identify why it is important to communicate to and engage the people of the organization in a strategic plan and its potential challenges.
  • Describe challenges to communicating strategic plan implementation.
  • Explain how, as a CEO of a new hospital, you could overcome these challenges while upholding your vision statement, goals, and values statement.

Throughout the course, you have been learning about managed care, both past and present. Conduct additional research on trends happening in managed care today. The following websites are a great place to start:

• Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
• Kaiser Family Foundation (Search for the series on health care marketplace trends.)

You can also visit the following videos related to managed care trends:

Monitoring Performance: A Dashboard of Medi-Cal Managed Care

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ6gSLkl5nY&t=171s

After conducting your research, construct a 3-page report of your findings. At a minimum, your report should

1. Identify at least two trends that you feel have a great impact on managed health care today.
2. Discuss the effect these trends have on managed care.
3. Explain how these trends will continue to influence managed care in the future.
4. Evaluate the potential impact on government and state sponsored, Medicare and Medicaid programs.
5. Analyze and provide at least two reasons why implementing Medicaid managed care is so complex.

I’m working on a nursing question and need an explanation to help me learn.

What personal characteristics do you have that you believe need acknowledgment in order for you to become more authentic in your nursing encounters? What do you think is the most effective approach to changing your Self?
