The Myth of Lobbyists

Description

Part I: Lobbyists  have been part of the U.S. Government system since the early 1800s. Lobbyists  play an important role in healthcare, as they are advocates for their interest  group. In a 4-5 page paper, analyze two examples of how lobbyists affect  healthcare legislation. Conclude your paper with your opinion about whether the  actions of lobbyists have a positive or negative effect on healthcare  legislation in the United States. Please keep in mind the position and facility  you selected. Make sure to include the following:

  1. Discuss the specific interest of the lobbyist in each       example.
  2. Discuss in detail some of the ethical issues and moral       disputes for each example.
  3. Discuss your position on whether the lobbyists’ actions       are positive or negative on healthcare legislation in the United States       and support your points with details.
  4. This portion of your assignment will require you to       research and examine information from various sources. Use a minimum of       five credible sources for your paper, with three being an academic source       from the Rasmussen College Online Library (don’t forget to include in-text       citations throughout your paper with paraphrasing or quoting)
  5. Make sure to include your APA formatted reference page.

Part II: An  agenda can set the tone for a meeting. It’s an important tool to ensure  meetings are staying on track and meeting all of the objectives. Create a  detailed meeting agenda for a meeting you will hold with your supervisor and  fellow department heads discussing your findings (Hint: Microsoft Word has many  agenda templates). SkillSurfer in the online tutoring platform offers beginner,  intermediate, and advanced tutorials on Microsoft Office products. Make sure to  include the following in our agenda:

  1. Explain each example
  2. The majority of the agenda should be focused on whether       the actions of lobbyists have a positive or negative effect on healthcare       legislation in the United States.

Make sure to use audience specific language and tone in your  agenda. Remember, your supervisor and other department heads will be in  attendance. Also, make sure to follow  proper agenda/business formatting guidelines and make sure document is  professional in appearance.

  Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders

Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders

Gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary disorders affect the structure and function of the GI tract. Many of these disorders often have similar symptoms, such as abdominal pain, cramping, constipation, nausea, bloating, and fatigue. Since multiple disorders can be tied to the same symptoms, it is important for advanced practice nurses to carefully evaluate patients and prescribe a treatment that targets the cause rather than the symptom.  Once the underlying cause is identified, an appropriate drug therapy plan can be recommended based on medical history and individual patient factors. In this Assignment, you examine a case study of a patient who presents with symptoms of a possible GI/hepatobiliary disorder, and you design an appropriate drug therapy plan.

To Prepare

Review the case study assigned by your Instructor for this Assignment
Reflect on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and drugs currently prescribed.Think about a possible diagnosis for the patient. Consider whether the patient has a disorder related to the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary system or whether the symptoms are the result of a disorder from another system or other factors, such as pregnancy, drugs, or a psychological disorder.Consider an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.

Write a 1-page paper that addresses the following:

Explain your diagnosis for the patient, including your rationale for the diagnosis.

Describe an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.

Justify why you would recommend this drug therapy plan for this patient. Be specific and provide examples

Case: Patient HL comes into the clinic with the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The patient has a history of drug abuse and possible Hepatitis C. HL is currently taking the following prescription drugs:

Synthroid 100 mcg daily

Nifedipine 30 mg daily

Prednisone 10 mg daily

ethical, legal, and economic factors

Develop a 5–7-page proposal for a wellness education program for a specific population. Integrate aspects of culture, CAM and spirituality, and linguistics into the program. Explain how to market the program to the population, and explain the ethical, legal, and economic factors that can affect the health of the population.

Preparation

Your team has succeeded in demonstrating the need for a health promotion and disease prevention initiative for the population identified by your Windshield Survey assessment. Now you need to develop a proposal for a wellness education program that will help bridge the gaps in health care service delivery.

Use the Capella library and the Internet to find scholarly and professional resources that will help you propose a wellness education program for the health concern of your population. Find at least four resources to use in this assessment. You may also want to review the previous assessments you completed in this course.

Requirements

Based on your Windshield Survey and Organizational Evaluation assessments, complete the following:

· Design an evidence-based wellness program to address the primary health concern of the population that integrates:

o Cultural considerations: Will you need to consult with someone from the population on how to approach the delivery of your program?

o CAM, traditional medicine, holistic health, and spirituality considerations.

o Linguistic considerations: Will you need interpreters or translators for either written or oral presentations?

o Educational considerations: What will be the best way to educate the population?

· Describe how you will market or advertise the wellness program.

o What are the benefits the program offers the population?

o Will you need incentives to ensure participation and completion of the program?

· Explain the ethical, legal, and economic factors that impact the health and wellness of the population. For example:

o The ethical considerations (such as justice, non-malfeasance, and duty) that can affect preventative care and health promotion.

o Local laws, federal laws, and the Affordable Health Care Act that can affect preventative care and health promotion.

o The potential economic impact of clinical prevention and health promotion related to health disparities of your population.

The format for this assessment should be a professional proposal. If possible, ask about the format used for proposals in your organization and follow that. Follow APA formatting for your in-text citations and references.

Additional Requirements

· Include a title page and reference page. The completed assessment should be 5–7 pages in length, not including a title page and a reference page.

Wars and Nightingale

New Fields and Technology

Research and Respect

Past

Earliest nurses were often a response to wars and the need for medical care for injured soldiers.  These women were patriotic but not truly educated as nurses and often caused more damage than good related to their lack of basic healthcare knowledge (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).  Florence Nightingale was a proponent of nursing education from her own experiences during the Crimean War (Davida, 2012).  She influenced some of the first nursing schools with her idea that the education should stand alone and not be associated with an apprenticeship with the teaching hospital (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).

Present

Nurses of today specialize in all sorts of fields from the operating room to pediatrics to hospice to just name a few.  This specialization has made the nurse workforce incredibly diverse and nursing educators and programs have had to respond accordingly.  Economically, nursing schools have become expensive programs and often difficult to staff as experienced nurse educators retire (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).  Immense changes in technology from how a nurse charts to how IVFs are given have dramatically changed how nurses do their work and how they are educated.

Future

Higher education for nurses will continue to evolve with an emphasis on nursing research as well as life-long learning (Laureate, 2012c).  The need for evidence-based nursing research will influence healthcare to the extent that the solutions garnered from nursing investigation will be on the same par as medical studies done by providers.  This increased respect for nursing could lead to increased interest in nursing as a career and in nursing education overall.
