“Diary of Medical Mission Trip”

estruction whether natural or manmade can occur at any moment, in 2010, Haiti was devastated by a catastrophic earthquake. All nursing interventions would be secondary and tertiary prevention measures since primary prevention would occur before the catastrophe. Secondary prevention includes screening for the earliest onset of disease, signs and symptoms. Secondary prevention interventions would include IV access, fluids, antibiotics, and dressing changes. Tertiary prevention includes managing the disease or injury and includes slowing the disease progression and would include amputations.

The phase of disaster falls in a combination of both impact and postimpact. I think it falls under impact because of the aftershocks which can continue to cause damage and injury after the major earthquake. It is also postimpact because the worse aspect of the destruction was done, and the beginning of rescue and emergency medical care has become the primary focus which can take months or even years.

Collaboration is important during times of crisis. Working together with the Haitian people and its government, the Red Cross, CDC, WHO, and all other volunteering agencies would allow for a more successful mission.

Using 200-300 words APA format with references to support this discussion.

 

  1. Under which phase of the disaster do the three proposed interventions fall? Explain why you chose that phase.
  2. With what people or agencies would you work in facilitating the proposed interventions and why?

The levels are outlined in the rubric therefore students should use the rubric as a guide concerning which levels of development should be included.  The video should serve as a means for explaining examples of each level.  Provide specific examples from Randy Pausch’s life to clarify your response for each level. You may also provide examples from your own life (or others) to further expand and justify your answer. 

As this is an end-of-the-course assignment, students should spend considerable time reviewing information learned during the semester from the textbook, discussions, other assignments, and the rubric in order to provide thorough and precise answers. Then students should gather their thoughts and incorporate all sources (video, course materials, and rubric) to create a well organized, collegiate level written response. Include all sources utilized in the paper in a Works Cited page.

 Important Note: Please write this topic on   Impact of Health Information Technology on Patient. Since this is my final topic.Attaching the introduction which I submitted 

Chapter Eight (8): Information Governance and Legal Functions: According to the authors, Smallwood, Kahn, and Murphy, IG is perhaps one of the functional areas that impact legal functions most.

For this discussion, identify the industry you will be writing about in your final paper and discuss the regulatory compliance requirements that the company has to meet and the corresponding security, privacy, and records management functions that would need to be enabled for that organization. Remember to cite your sources and critically respond to two other learners.

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

  • Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
  • Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
  • Provide extensive additional information on the topic
  • Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
  • Share an applicable personal experience
  • Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
