Health Promotion and Disease Prevention:

Like your first assignment, this assignment also has two distinct parts. For Part 1, you will create an educational program, event, or piece of literature (such as a like a pamphlet) targeted at a diverse population that incorporates best health promotion and disease prevention practice. If the population you used for the health assessment and communication assessment is diverse, you can use that population and the health concerns you identified.In this component, you will demonstrate your proficiency in Program Outcomes 7, 8, and 10:Program Outcome 7: Health Promotion and Disease Prevention: Apply and incorporate a basic understanding of the concepts of health promotion and disease as a means of improving health at the individual, population, and community levels.Program Outcome 8: Diversity: Incorporate a holistic, caring, culturally appropriate nursing approach that contributes to the wellness and the health of individuals, groups, and vulnerable populations.Program Outcome 10: Global Accountability and Public Service: Integrate a holistic approach to local, regional, national, and global dynamics in nursing healthcare system delivery.To prepare for this part of the assignment:Review the literature or use health assessments to determine healthcare needs of a diverse population in your community.Explore things that could influence success, such as cultural attitudes towards alternative forms of healing, religious beliefs, or other individuals.Examine the impact of current health promotion and wellness initiatives on health outcomes and health disparities.Review the literature to identify best practices.

For the second part of the assignment, you will explain how you developed your educational program, event, or piece of literature, and address any barriers to disease prevention and health promotion for the population.Part 1: Once you have identified a diverse population, develop an educational program, event, or piece of literature that promotes wellness and disease prevention. If you choose an educational program or event, be sure that you outline the basic content of the program or event, and how you would structure it. If you choose a piece of literature, be deliberate in the points you highlight. Be sure that your choice is appropriate for the population. For an educational program or event, you will prepare and submit an outline of the content and structure. For a brochure or pamphlet, you will prepare and submit the brochure or pamphlet.

Why is it an effective strategy for the population?Describe cultural barriers to disease prevention and health promotion in the population. This might include things such as CAM, language, religious beliefs and so on.Explain how your educational strategy can help overcome some of the barriers you described.Evaluate how well health promotion and wellness strategies positively impact health outcomes and health disparities at the local, national, and global levels. Can you find evidence that health promotion and wellness strategies have had a positive effect on health outcomes and health disparities at the local, national, and global levels?Support your work with valid scholarly resources.

How do local healthcare decisions and practices impact global health and healthcare delivery?Discuss commonalities and barriers to effective healthcare practices at the local, national, and global levels.

/in /by

Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to the field of public health. Today, nurses continue to have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues.

As an advanced practice nurse at a community health clinic, you often treat female (and sometimes male patients) with hormone deficiencies. One of your patients requests that you prescribe supplemental hormones. This poses the questions: How will you determine what kind of treatment to suggest?

/in /by

In recent years, hormone replacement therapy has become a controversial issue. When prescribing therapies, advanced practice nurses must weigh the strengths and limitations of the prescribed supplemental hormones. If advanced practice nurses determine that the limitations outweigh the strengths, then they might suggest alternative treatment options such as herbs or other natural remedies, changes in diet, and increase in exercise.

Consider the following scenario:

  • As an advanced practice nurse at a community health clinic, you often treat female (and sometimes male patients) with hormone deficiencies. One of your patients requests that you prescribe supplemental hormones. This poses the questions: How will you determine what kind of treatment to suggest? What patient factors should you consider? Are supplemental hormones the best option for the patient, or would they benefit from alternative treatments?

To prepare:

  • Review Chapter 56 of the Arcangelo      and Peterson text, as well as the Holloway and Makinen and Huhtaniemi      articles in the Learning Resources.
  • Review the provided scenario and      reflect on whether or not you would support hormone replacement therapy.
  • Locate and review additional articles      about research on hormone replacement therapy for women and/or men.      Consider the strengths and limitations of hormone replacement therapy.
  • Based on your research of the      strengths and limitations, again reflect on whether or not you would      support hormone replacement therapy.
  • Consider whether you would prescribe      supplemental hormones or recommend alternative treatments to patients with      hormone deficiencies.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a description of the strengths and limitations of hormone replacement therapy. Based on these strengths and limitations, explain why you would or why you would not support hormone replacement therapy. Explain whether you would prescribe supplemental hormones or recommend alternative treatments to patients with hormone deficiencies and why.

Randy Adams is a 38-year-old male patient of Dr. Joseph Reynolds who was admitted yesterday morning for 24-hour observation for mild concussion following a motor vehicle accident. Randy lost consciousness during the accident and was very confused when he arrived in the ER after EMS transport. He is an Iraq war veteran and he seemed to think after the accident that this all happened in Iraq. Dr. Reynolds is concerned that Randy has some residual problems from a couple of explosive incidents that occurred while he was in Iraq. The physician is unsure whether Randy’s current symptoms are from the car accident or from prior injuries so he has referred him for consultations to both a neurologist and to a behavioral health specialist.
