Thank you.  

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

To Prepare:

• Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
• Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
• Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.
• Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.

The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)

Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix

Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:

• Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.
• Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
• Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
• Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.
• Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change

Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.

In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

• Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
• Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
• Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change. Be specific and provide examples

Part I

A condition/medication template will be provided. Conditions will be given for each system. You will identify one drug/medication to treat each condition and give full details for that medication on the template provided here.

Conditions:

• Psoriasis
• Thrush
• Dystonia
• Gout

Part II

Answer the following questions.

1. Describe the risk factors for hypocalcemia.

2. Describe osteoporosis.

3. Describe the treatment for abnormal calcium levels.

4. Describe osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

5. Describe the treatment for arthritis.

6. Describe gout, including its risk factors and treatment.

7. Describe the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, and corticosteroids for bone and joint inflammation.

8. Describe phantom limb pain and its treatmen

Part III

When I attended elementary school back in the late 80’s, it was not uncommon for the school nurse to visit classrooms and check children’s hair for head lice. If the nurse did detect head lice on an individual they would be sent home until successfully treated in order to not spread head lice to other children. It seems that in this day in age checks and restrictions for children with headlice have became much more relaxed. Please follow the link and read the article.

Now answer the question: Should kids with head lice be allowed at school?

Based on YOUR program of study, review the literature and address ONE the following:

• FNP/AGNP: Medicare reimbursement for NPs is 85% for the same health care that MDs receive at 100% reimbursement? Please address questions below and state your position on this mandate.
– Or –
• FNP/AGNP: What states have NP Full Practice Authority and which states have limitations or restrictions? How does this apply to your state? Please address these questions and state your position on the regulation within your state.

• Nurse Executive: What is value based care and how will it impact decisions made at the executive level relative to nursing and AP nursing? Please address and state your position on the regulation.

• Nurse Informaticists: What law(s) was/were enacted to regulate health information? Please address and state your position on this regulation.

• Nurse Educator: What agency regulates nursing education? Explain in detail.

For the above assignment,  use the following guide:

• Describe the current policy/status, which organization regulates and determine if it needs to change; if opposed to change, state why.
• Provide the process required to make the change with key players and parties of interest; identify the groups who are opposed
• Explain how AP roles (which ones) could lead the effort to make or influence the change in policy or keep the policy the same and the impact in healthcare quality.

Identify a situational constraint that might prevent a client from following through on a referral to an outside agency. Discuss how the case manager can take action to eliminate or minimize the effect of the constraint so that the client can benefit from the intervention.

Your initial posting should be 250 to 350 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook
