You can refer to at least two readings from our syllabus to enrich the conceptual discussion and strengthen your arguments

Global Health, Policy, and the Future

The assignment says that video or audio embedded PowerPoint is required but a PowerPoint with speaking notes is all that I need. 

This assignment will be a 5 to 7-minute video or audio embedded in a PowerPoint presentation.

In the Learning Materials under Additional Resources Review:

1. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2017). Global health and the future role of the United States. -> Review TABLE S-1 Committee Recommendations and Corresponding Actions on page 3 (these come from the global health report and are global recommendations) and the four Priority Areas for Action starting on page 4 that further explain the 14 Recommendations in TABLE S-1.

2. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

*Select and review ONE of the 14 Recommendations OR an SDG that align with your interests or one you feel passionate about that could significantly improve global health.

Consider what steps healthcare professionals can take to advocate for vulnerable people at a global level.  

This assignment will require you to create a 5 to 7-minute video or audio recording in a PowerPoint presentation.

Reflect on global issues in healthcare and address the following in your presentation:

• Briefly describe the selected global recommendation or SDG and the identified vulnerable population
• Analyze current healthcare policies that impact your selected global recommendation or SDG
• Explain the reason you selected the global recommendation or SDG and why it is relevant to the vulnerable population.
• Discuss why the global recommendation you selected should be implemented or the SDG you selected should be achieved, including why there should be funding to implement the global recommendation or SDG. 

I’m working on a nursing writing question and need a reference to help me learn.

Community health nurses function in many capacities that differ greatly but share core functions.

Choose at least two community health practice settings.

Compare and contrast the role of the community health nurse in the practice settings.

Client education is a key aspect of the medication administration process. The registered nurse must properly educate clients about a medication prior to administering it. Registered nurses must also have appropriate tools and instructional resources in order to properly educate clients, such as an education pamphlet, handout, brochure, or video demonstration depending on the client’s learning style. Students will select one specific medication from the classifications listed below and provide client education for the selected medication. The student must send the course faculty their top three (3) medication classification choices for the assignment by week five (5) as well as the type of instructional resource you will provide (i.e. song, commercial, pamphlet, handout, brochure, advertisement, social media campaign, children’s book, website, etc.) and your target audience. The topic selections will be on a first come, first serve basis and the topics are divided equally between students in the course. If no choice is submitted, the course faculty will assign the topic, target audience, and instructional resource. 

The target audience must be identified to determine the appropriate instructional resource; the target audience must be identified on the instructional resource. The instructional resource should be tailored to your specific target audience. The instructional resource should not include medical jargon, abbreviations, or acronyms. It should read at a 6th grade reading level or at the reading level of your target audience. It must be your own original concept, idea, and layout. Use of APA format is required for this assignment. Printed resources should be in an easy-to-read font and clear graphics must be displayed. The topic information must flow into the next subject matter. Please remember, this assignment is targeting a person that is NOT a nursing student or in the medical field! Be sure to select an instructional resource that will cover all of the criteria. When submitting the assignment please indicate the type of resource, assigned medication classification, your name, as well as the target audience on/with the resource!

medication classification 

antidepressant  diuretics

The instructional resource must include:

?        Purpose of the medication

I need support with this Health & Medical question so I can learn better.

Now that you have learned about the importance of food safety. Discuss the 4 “Food Safety Principles for Individuals” to prevent foodborne illness. Give a brief explanation and example(s) of each food safety principle.

I need replies to my peers discussion posts, one reference each, only within the last 5 years 100 to 200 words each should be enough. I’ve included their discussions responses.

DQ2 :The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes a list of health care-acquired conditions (HACs) that reasonably could have been prevented through the application of risk management strategies. What actions has your health care organization (or have health care organizations in general) implemented to manage or prevent these “never events” from happening within their health care facilities? Support your response with a minimum two peer-reviewed articles.

Amanda :According to houseman “Healthcare providers want to improve outcomes while reducing the risk of patient harm. Despite provider best efforts, medical error rates remain high with significant disability and death. Preventable medical errors contribute substantially to healthcare costs, including higher health insurance costs per person expenses. Only by health professionals working together will the cost and injury associated with medical errors be mitigated.” When it comes to avoiding never events in the clinics documentation is crucial, we all know what wasn’t documented wasn’t done. It’s important to make sure as a nurse you are documenting and check all 7 rights before administering any time of medication or injection to a patient. The aaacn states that never events are preventable and identifiable and can lead to serious liability and death if protocols aren’t followed. All health care facilities must make sure they are following hospital or clinic guideline to prevent these incident from occurring to protect both staff and patients.

Kiara:Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are the main cause of preventable disability and deaths among the patients that are hospitalized. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HAIs are infections or complications that are secondary to either surgery or device implantations (Boev & Kiss, 2017). The hospitals that have been performing poorly have lost a significant amount of Medicare payments from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). However, the key to averting the HAIs is formulating policies for prevention as well as treatment and translate them into the clinical pathway that is fostered and implemented in the Electronic Health Records (EHR). These policies encompass predictive models for pinpointing early and processes that ensure quick response times as well as proper treatment (Vokes, Bearman & Bazzoli, 2018). Most hospitals are also using decision support to provide clinicians with key information that is required for making informed decisions. The users are also provided with an efficacious methodology for instigating treatment and care after selecting a clinical pathway.

Parker:One of the HACs mentioned in the revised 2020 list (“ICD-10 HAC List | CMS,” 2020) is pressure ulcers. Not properly repositioning a patient or leaving a patient in the same position for too long can result in pressure sores. “International best practice advocates the use of repositioning as an integral component of a pressure ulcer management strategy.” (Moore & Cowman, 2015). These pressure ulcers are very common and can become infected, lead to sepsis, gangrene, and cellulitis. Nursing assistants are responsible for repositioning patients and due to their high workloads, some patients are left for many hours. My institution has made sure they are adequately staffed and stress the importance of repositioning and checking for pressure sores. They also use pressure mattresses that inflate and deflate in different areas to distribute pressure. “Pressure relieving and redistributing devices are widely accepted methods of trying to prevent the development of pressure ulcers for people considered as being at risk.” (Stansby, Avital, Jones, & Marsden, 2014).

Fereshia: HACs, according to Mody et al., are the types of conditions that a patient develops while in the hospital for therapy or another reason. Patients are harmed by these diseases, which occur in a variety of forms, including viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. Bloodstream infection (BSI), urinary tract infection (UTI), pneumonia or ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), surgical side infection (SSI), and pressure ulcers are the most frequent HACs.According to Lavallée et al, these HACs are also known as never events because they are serious medical errors or adverse events that should never happen to a patient because the majority of them are largely preventable due to healthcare practitioners’ negligence while attending to their patients. The implications of never occurrences, according to Palan Lopez, Mitchell, and Givens, include both patient damage and higher healthcare service delivery costs to the institution. Frontline nurses, on the other hand, according to Salmond and Echevarria, may assist avoid never occurrences from happening to patients when they are admitted to hospitals or visiting healthcare facilities by fostering a culture of safety via best nursing practices. Based on patient data provided at the hospital, the first step in tackling the problem of never events is determining what causes them and how often they occur.

A. Using unique examples, explain what happens to humans’ fluid and crystallized processing as the brain ages. What role does neural distinctiveness play in each?

B. How does Thad Polk’s larger argument about memory as “transforming” with age rather than deteriorating, relate to Elizabeth Loftus’ theory of memory as malleable? What implications might one theory have for the other? How does this relate to maintaining health in older age?
