Identify a vulnerable population that you see in your caseload or that lives in your community.

Answer the following prompts in your initial post:

  • Identify a vulnerable population that you see in your caseload or that lives in your community.
  • Describe the effect of disparities of health services to that population on health-promotion outcomes.

Low cost clinic is the population 

No plan can succeed without leadership. Having a strong leader can make the difference between failure and success for any endeavor. Post a brief description of your population and the plan idea you have for addressing their health needs. This time identify who should lead the implementation of your plan. Describe what characteristics make them qualified to put into action your “baby” (after all, you didn’t spend weeks developing this plan just to hand it off to just anyone).

Low cost clinic is the population

Rather than focus on the treatment of chronic disease, policies that influence population health tend to emphasize prevention and wellness;

Rather than focus on the treatment of chronic disease, policies that influence population health tend to emphasize prevention and wellness; the reduction or elimination of waste and the eradication of health disparities based on race, ethnicity, language, income, gender, sexual orientation, disability and other factors. The reasoning is that good health belongs to the whole, not just an individual.

Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen has a stake in healthcare policy decisions. Hence, it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agendas. It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items.

Consider a topic (mental health, HIV, opioid epidemic, pandemics, obesity, prescription drug prices, or many others) that rises to the presidential level. How did the current and previous presidents handle the problem? What would you do differently?

Consider a population health topic that rises to the presidential agenda level. Which social determinant most affects this health issue? How did two recent presidents handle the problem? What would you do differently?

For example (this is just an example), the researcher decides to include temperature as a dependent variable (to support CAUTI) and needs to identify a measurement method for temperature. The researcher decides to use Bard Foley Catheters (Series 400 Temperature Sensing). The author would Include a description of Bard Temperature Sensing Foley Catheters (400 Series) from literature.

The researcher is also interested in anxiety and will include anxiety in their study as a secondary research question. What is the strength of the relationship between the length of foley catheter insertion and anxiety in patients cared for in the critical care environment? The researcher will measure anxiety using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. The tool is a  21-question multiple-choice self-report inventoryLinks to an external site. that is used for measuring the severity of anxietyLinks to an external site. in children and adults. The tool has shown high internal consistency (α = .92) and test-retest reliability over 1 week, r(81) = .75. The BAI discriminated anxious diagnostic groups (panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, etc.) from non-anxious diagnostic groups (major depression, dysthymic disorder, etc.). In addition, the BAI was moderately correlated with the revised Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, r(150) = .51, and was only mildly correlated with the revised Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, r(153) = .25. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016). The author would also note the reliability and validity of the instruments used in the study.

Physiological tool: Bard Temperature Sensing Foley Catheter (400 Series)

Psychosocial tool: Beck Anxiety Inventory

For this DB, you will identify both a psychosocial AND a physiological measurement tool that could be used to measure a concept in your area of interest. Post a brief description of the two types of measurement tools in your group discussion forum (one paragraph each). Identify support in the literature (can be from your articles you are using for this DB post) for the reliability and validity of the two types of tools and post a summary of the support (one paragraph) in your group discussion forum. Criteria for the physiological critique can be found in Gray, Grove, and Sutherland (2018) Chapter 16. Provide citations. Reply to two peers. The initial post is due on Wednesday and peer replies on Saturday.

 GUIDELINES

To receive full credit, your original post should include all elements requested in the prompt (prompt may have multiple parts and/or require an article to be attached). Responses to the prompt should be made directly in the discussion forum (not as an attachment). All posts (original and replies) should be substantive and contribute to the understanding of the topic. Your response can support the view of the other person, lend a different viewpoint, or provide additional information. In addition, peer response can be a question which, if answered, would improve upon the other student’s original idea. Provide a rationale for your views and provide a citation. No credit will be given for peer responses such as “good job” or “I agree.”

Your online participation grade for each week has three parts: 60% for the original post, 20% for your first peer reply, and 20% for your second peer response. Responses should be made to peers who have not already received two peer responses so that everyone receives two responses.

Case Study:

Case Study: Roslyn, a six-year-old, is attending public school for the first time. Her parents brought her to the clinic and stated, “she appears to have pain in her legs and won’t participate in playtime.” The parents noticed recently Roslyn appears pale and acts weak. Roslyn is diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. After her parents and siblings undergo genetic testing, it is found that Roslyn is the only family member with the disease.

  • What are the priority nursing interventions for Roslyn?
  • What anticipatory guidance should the nurse provide Roslyn and her family regarding the diagnosis of sickle cell anemia and her attending school?
  • How can the nurse support the child and family?
  • What discharge instructions should the nurse provide to Roslyn and her parents?
  • What, if any, activity restrictions will Roslyn have after discharge?

Reliability and Validity in Research Instruments 

Assignment 3: Reliability and Validity in Research Instruments

Instructions

Quality measurement in research is essential. Measurement involves assigning numbers to concepts, objects, events or situations following a set of rules derived by the researcher through instrumentation or the use of tools for measurement. These measurements should be accurate and consistent. Chapter 16 in Gray & Groves (2021) explains the way that validity and reliability can be achieved.

A 20-year-old man is brought to the emergency department (ED) by his family for evaluation. His family reports that he failed out of school in his second year at a local community college. He admits to escalating struggles with prescription pain pills (prescription opioids), and then heroin use. He appears to be in opioid withdrawal; he describes anorexia and diarrhea, and is yawning and sweating on 3xam. He has a Clinical Opioid Withdrawal Scale (COWS) score of 15, indicating moderate withdrawal. His provider orders clonidine, ondansetron, and 2/0.5 mg sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone, with a plan to observe him in the ED. The provider subsequently receives a concerned call from the hospital pharmacist.

The role genetics plays in the disease.

A mother brings her 6-month-old daughter to the HCP for evaluation of possible colic. The mother says the baby has had many episodes of crying after eating and, despite having a good appetite, is not gaining weight. The mother says the baby’s belly “gets all swollen sometimes.” The mother says the baby tastes “salty” when the mother kisses the baby. Further work up reveals a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The mother relates that her 23-month-old son has had multiple episodes of “chest congestion” and was hospitalized once for pneumonia. The mother wants to know what cystic fibrosis is and she also wants to know if she should have any more children.

Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:

  • The role genetics plays in the disease.
  • Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
  • The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
  • The cells that are involved in this process.
  • How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.
