The Diversity Movement

The diversity movement suggests that there is strength in our  differences and that our differences enhance each other. At the same  time, the movement insists that our differences should not have  economic, social, or political consequences. We are entitled to the same  access to resources and opportunities regardless of our differences.  The human suffering from Hurricane Katrina and the images of victims has  stimulated the debate about differential access to resources.

Read the report Women in the Wake of the Storm: Examining the Post-Katrina Realities of the Women of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. On the basis of your reading, create a report, answering the following:

• Discuss the prominent dimensions of diversity revealed as a result of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
• Discuss factors that specifically influenced women's vulnerability  to Hurricane Katrina. While answering, consider the primary dimensions  mentioned in the lectures as well as the secondary dimensions such as  parental and marital status, income, educational level, military  experience, geographic location, work background, and religious beliefs.
• Describe the implications for healthcare organizations as a result of the disaster.
• Discuss at least of two of the policy implications that are outlined  in the report. If you were given the task to add another policy  recommendation what would it be and why?

 

Eldercare In Public Health Law

Many laws, policies, and initiatives in public health are developed to try to create more equity in access to healthcare or to decrease the disparities that some people experience. It is difficult to determine when one population has received sufficient attention and another population should replace them at the forefront of advocacy and/or attention. Did you know that today we have more parents to care for than children? Eldercare has replaced childcare as a leading healthcare issue.

For this assignment, do the following:

1. Choose and view ONE 30-minute video in the And Thou Shalt Honor series from the list below.
2. Develop a policy related to the public health of the elderly in the United States.
3. Compare the strategies used in the United States to address our increasing elderly population with that of another Country of your choosing. Critique some of the public health policies that have been developed in that country and how are they are working.

You assignment should be a 2-3 page assessment (not including the cover or reference page) that utilizes proper APA format and includes at least 3 scholarly resources.

 

External And Internal Drivers

This week you will focus on your reading assignment and at least 3 other sources to create a summary of internal/external drivers on quality that may impact your chosen topic quality outcomes.

 

Compare and contrast external and internal drivers on quality and explain how they will benefit your chosen topic by reviewing positive and negative impact. You will discuss the impact of internal and external drivers for hospitals and providers.

 

Discussion: Pain

Discussion: Pain

The neurological system affects all parts and functions of the body through nerve stimulation. Nerves also control the sensation and perception of pain. While pain can be described in a variety of ways, it is essentially labeled according to its duration and source. As an advanced practice nurse evaluating a patient, you need to consider the following questions: Does the pain quickly come and go, or is it persistent and ongoing? Does the pain arise at the source of injury or in another location? In this Discussion, you compare three common types of pain—acute, chronic, and referred.

To Prepare

· Review this week’s media presentation on the neurological system, as well as Chapter 14 in the Huether andMcCance text.

· Identify the pathophysiology of acute, chronic, and referred pain. Consider the similarities and differences between these three types of pain.

· Select two of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factors you selected might impact the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and prescription of treatment for acute, chronic, and referred pain.

Post a description of the pathophysiology of acute, chronic, and referred pain, including similarities and differences between them. Then, explain how the factors you selected might impact the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and prescription of treatment for acute, chronic, and referred pain.

Required Readings

Huether, S. E., & McCance, K. L. (2017). Understanding pathophysiology (6th ed.). St. Louis, MO: Mosby.

• Chapter 14, “Pain,      Temperature, Sleep, and Sensory Function”

This chapter covers the role of pain, sleep, stress, and the senses on body functions. It also explores alterations involving pain, sleep, stress, and the senses.

Instructor Requirements

As advanced practice nurses, we are scholars, nurse researchers and scientists. As such, please use Peer-Reviewed scholarly articles and websites designed for health professionals (not designed for patients) for your references. Students should be using the original citation in Up to Date and go to that literature as a reference. The following are examples (not all inclusive) of resources/websites deemed inadmissible for scholarly reference:

1. Up      to Date (must use original articles from Up to Date as a resource)
2. Wikipedia

"Gung Ho" movie essay

As noted in the syllabus, what you turn in for this assignment should be approximately 2-3 pages in length
(not including the crosstab model–see question 3), double-spaced, Times New Roman font, with 1-inch margins all around. After viewing the video, for this assignment, I would like you to reflect on and respond to the following three
questions:
1. Identify and describe how differences on any three cultural dimensions influence the working relationships between the Japanese and American workers. Feel free to focus on any dimensions identified by Hofstede, Trompenaars,
or the singular cultural groupings.Please be sure to include specific examples from the film in your response.
2. Read the review of Gung Ho posted by Roger Ebert after its original debut in 1986.
Embedded in his review, as well as in the criticisms of others, is the idea that cultural characteristics displayed in
Gung Ho are at times notably superficial and exaggerated.Similar criticism has
been levied at other films depicting cultural differences as well.
In your opinion, does cultural stereotyping and/or exaggerating cultural differences in cinema or
other forms of mass media have serious implications for individuals’ understanding of culture?
Do you believe the implications are necessarily all negative, positive, or are there both positive
and negative implications? Please feel free to include specific examples.
3. During our class section on “cultural values in organizational behavior,” one area that was discussed in judging differences between cultures/countries was that of “crosstab models” for capturing differences. A sample crosstab model was also included in the slides. A similar model also appears in the assigned reading for class on that day.
