Write a 1,500–2,000-word paper discussing the role of descriptive epidemiology in nursing science. Include the following:

1. Explain the concept of descriptive epidemiology using either a theoretical or conceptual understanding of a specific condition to identify patterns (e.g., distribution of data, data collection, condition or distribution of the data, and determinants in the relationship to disease populations).
2. Provide a contemporary example of how descriptive epidemiology is applied in public health nursing.
3. Define health disparity and how it occurs, and what factors contribute to it in an at-risk population.
4. Considering the population with Lack of education or poor literacy as an at-risk population. Provide biostatistical, epidemiological, or environmental data to substantiate why this population is at risk. Consult the “Data and Statistics” and Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) pages on the CDC website for current information on population health.
5. Using analyzed population data, identify a health risk within your selected at-risk population that nursing science can impact. Describe specific variables that the data are measuring and explain how the variables correlate the at-risk population to the identified health risk.
6. Identify potential barriers that may hinder the implementation of disease-prevention and health-promotion activities. Explain why these barriers may slow or impede strategies to reduce the effects of the health risk on the at-risk population.
7. Identify stakeholders and agencies with whom you may need to collaborate to implement health risk reduction strategies. Explain why you selected these collaborators and how they will contribute to your disease prevention and health promotion plan.

“The first half of the nineteenth century saw nursing conditions at their worst. Nursing had become a job for the “undesirables” in society — the immoral, the alcoholic, and the illiterate. The pay for nursing care was poor and was frequently supplemented in any way possible. There was little organization associated with nursing and certainly no social standing. No one would enter nursing who could possibly earn a living in some other way. Through the work of early nursing figures, nursing gained the respect of the military and the government, ushering the birth of what is now considered modern nursing.”(Nursing Timeline)The hospitals were so disgraceful, dirty contaminated with infections. There was no proper ventilation in hospital rooms that’s increase risk of dying.

“Florence Nightingale1820 – 1910

Widely recognized as the founding mother of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale’s work led to the reform of sanitary conditions in military hospitals, the organization and advancement of nursing education and the development of measures to analyze disease and morality rates using statistical methods. Her observations and writings contributed to the development of an applied theory of communicable disease. Her seminal work, Notes on Nursing: What it is and What it is Not has, for centuries, formally defined the work of nursing as unique and separate from that of medicine and the social sciences.”(Nursing Timeline) She provided clean dressings, clean bed, well cooked food, proper sanitation and fresh air to patients and do her rounds with a lamp. “The profession of nursing was strengthened by the development of nursing training and degree programs that would adhere to standards of care and regulations developed by nursing associations and nurse licensure. Fewer than twenty nurses attended the first convention in 1896 of the Nurses Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada which became in 1911 the American Nurses Association.”(Nursing Timeline)Big hospitals start their own nursing schools to produce more qualified and educated nurses to help community. Because in back days there was only lay people who work as nurses without proper education and knowledge. With education nursing profession changed a lot with new ways of thinking and knowledge specific to nursing. Nursing theory is essential to continuing evolution of the discipline of nursing. The use of nursing theory in research is very important. Nurses often use theories from other disciplines instead of their own and this expands the knowledge of another discipline.(Marlaine.S &Marilyn.P 2010)

Question 1: The Painting of Modern LifeThe late nineteenth century is often cited as a critical point in the development of a “modern” art. Impressionists and Post-Impressionists turned to the contemporary world as primary subject matter, and depicted elements of that world using an innovative style. Carefully examine the following paintings: Monet, Rouen Cathedral: The Portal (In Sun), 1894Manet, Bar at the Folies-Bergère, 1881-82Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, c. 1884-86In 3 well-developed paragraphs, address the following questions:How is the subject of each painting representative of Impressionism or Post-Impressionism?How are the style and visual characteristics of each painting representative of Impressionism or Post-Impressionism? Be sure to discuss specific elements such as brushwork/application of paint, use of color and light, and composition, in your response.Describe the specific ways that each painting shows tension between its inherent two-dimensionality and any illusion of three-dimensionality created by the artist.Question 2:Modern and Contemporary Art may seem alien to many people— seemingly without content, message, or purpose. But it can be argued that Modern and Contemporary Art visually reflect the complex and abstract ideas that we experience every day. Although not for everyone, art of the 20th and 21st centuries is often a key part of the collection in many art museums. As you consider the wide range of modern and contemporary art types that we studied this week, think of yourself actually visiting a modern art museum. In 2 well-developed paragraphs discuss:While you are visiting, what type of Modern or Contemporary art will you most want to see and why? Be sure to name the specific style (e.g., Analytic Cubism, Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism)What type will you put last on your list of “things to look for?”Why do you feel that way?Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas. Include the images of these specific works of art in your response.Respond to both questions as thoroughly as possible, making sure to use information from the readings and the lectures. All responses should be in complete sentence form, using proper spelling and grammar.
