INFECTIOUS DISEASE TRENDS AND PUBLIC HEALTH TEACHING PROJECT

/in /by

In this assessment, you will analyze communicable diseases within the community, state, and nation. You will evaluate the epidemiology and the nurse’s role in using evidence-based data to develop methods to mitigate disease in the community. You will also develop the teaching materials for and deliver the educational program you developed in Part II of the CSLO 1 assessment.

Part 1: Nursing Student Presentation on Infection Control

Understanding diseases present within the community allows public health nurses to prioritize health promotion and disease prevention strategies.

Explore the Healthy People 2030 website.

Review the Healthy People 2030 Objectives and Measures.

Review the Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicators.

Assume you have been asked by the nursing supervisor at the community health clinic at which you work to research infectious disease trends as they relate to public health program planning and promotion. She wants you to prepare a presentation that will be presented to nursing students at the local branch of the statewide university system. The presentation will focus on infection control.

Develop an 18- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, with speaker notes, that analyzes infectious diseases by:

  • Defining epidemiology, outbreak, incidence, and prevalence
  • Evaluating the role of nursing within epidemiology
  • Evaluating current infectious diseases locally, statewide, and nationally
  • Associating 3 of the most current infectious diseases with Healthy People 2030 objectives
  • Analyzing evidence-based practices aimed at reducing infectious diseases
  • Explaining health promotion techniques that can be used to manage infectious and communicable diseases in populations

Note: The slides themselves should only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long bullet points. Your speaker notes convey the details you would give if you were presenting. See the Create Speaker Notes video from Microsoft for more help.

Cite a minimum of 3 scholarly sources.

Include an APA-formatted reference slide.

Step 1: 

Develop your teaching project identified in the CSLO 1 Part II Assessment into a community education curriculum.

  • Determine which variables should be included in your curriculum to address the identified public health conditions.
  • Determine which resources and materials you will need for teaching the curriculum.
  • Determine which communication method and health promotion technique should be used to deliver your curriculum.

Step 2: 

Develop and prepare the curriculum and identify all elements you would use.

  • Develop all materials needed to properly educate the identified agency population regarding the identified public health or communicable disease issue.
  • Develop a method for assessment of the success of the educational curriculum with the identified population.

Step 3: 

Write a 500-word summary of the educational curriculum.

Submit your assignment.

The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates?

/in /by

For this week’s assignment respond to one of the following options, and include Option 1, 2, or 3 as part of your heading.

Option 1: The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your approach to what a utilitarian and ethical egoist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

Option 2: In the second option, name and describe in detail a key specific and recent social technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your moral approach to what a utilitarian and social contract ethicist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

Option 3: John Doe, Patient One, is in late stage of kidney disease. If he does not receive a new kidney, then he is predicted to die within a week. Doe is 45, single, and has no children. Doctors theorize that Doe damaged his kidney by not following a low-salt diet. Doe inherited one million dollars and is known for giving money to charity. Without a transplant, he will probably be forced to spend all his money searching for a kidney outside of the usual legal channels. Patient Two is Jane Doe (no relation to John). Patient Two is a mother of two children (ages 21 and 24). She is divorced and 55 years old. She developed kidney problems due to eating a high-fat and high-sugar diet. If she does not receive a kidney within one month, doctors believe she will die. Patient Three is an orphan. This orphan lives in a state facility. She was born with a genetic condition that constantly damages her kidney. The only known approach to her condition is to provide her with a kidney transplant every so often. She is 11 and has already undergone two kidney transplants. She will perish in two months if she does not receive another transplant.

All three patients are at the same hospital. The hospital only has one kidney to give out. The orphan’s birth parents were known to be of a religion that is opposed to organ donation. The other patients come from religions that do not oppose organ donation. Who should get the kidney? Why should that candidate receive it over the others? Devise a course of social action and a solution for this case by using the ethics of egoism and then utilitarianism to a key moral conflict involving health care in this case. Appraise the interests of diverse populations (in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) and how they relate to the case. Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

For all the options:

Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.

You should not be using any text you used in a discussion board or assignment for this class or any previous class.

Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.

You will submit the following:

  • An audiovisual presentation that presents one of the options above. Be sure to give equal time to each element. Doing a PowerPoint presentation with audio recorded on the slides is preferred. Please refer to the Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial located in the Required Resources in this assignment.
  • Please provide a transcript of anything said in the recording aloud that does not appear as text on a slide. This transcript can be provided as a Word document or placed in the Notes section on the PowerPoint slides.
  • The link or a scan of the article mentioning any health technology, social technology, or case you are reporting on. If you made up the case, please indicate that in your report. If you choose to do option #3 (the case about a shortage of transplant kidneys), your article would likely be an article about the shortage of transplant organs, or a shortage of people signing up to be transplant donors, or the status of educating people about being donors, etc.

Requirements

  • Length: 4-6 minutes narrated presentation
  • Slide length: 4-6 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide)
  • Title slide
  • Conclusion slide

Introduction

The need to research, develop and write clearly articulated reports, proposals, and policy papers are a requirement of all managers at some point in the careers. These reports may be required to justify budgets or projects, establish organizational policies, or terminate services. Papers or projects developed for college courses allows the student to gain experience in conducting basic research, develop a level of confidence in enhancing their writing abilities, and allows faculty to help students develop their own style of writing.

Paper Requirements

For this project you will review and evaluate one (1) of four (4) important topics that impact modern healthcare and develop a 10-12 slide Power Point presentations (due in Week 9) and conduct a 5-10-minute oral overview to the class during Week 10.  The goal of the project is to gain an understanding of why the economics of healthcare is so complex and provide your insight or recommendations on how to resolve the issue based on your research. The research topics are:

1. Why is the cost of healthcare so high in the United States?

2. Why is the Affordable Care Act (ACA) so controversial?

3. Why is healthcare performance tied to improving quality?

4. How does understanding economics help healthcare leaders?

Things to Remember

1. Investigate the topic. Use articles and/or books, web sites etc., for background.

2. Don’t just report. Discuss pros and cons. Evaluate. Use your own words. Quote where appropriate. Give citations for facts and quotes. Discuss how your topic relates to material covered in the text and/or in class discussions.

3. Now and then, a student hands in a paper/project  he or she did not write at all or in which large segments are copied from other sources. Don’t do this . It is dishonest, unfair to your fellow students, and unpleasant for both you and the instructor. Papers that have been found to be plagiarized will receive a zero.  

4. Write in your own words. Start early; talk to the instructor if you have problems.
