Week 7 DQ1
Discuss how emerging technologies (consumer, mobile and telehealth technologies) impact patient care and the storage of health information. What is one ethical or legal issue related to EHRs that can impact a registered nursing practice? According to HIPAA, protected health information (PHI), and the requirements for privacy and confidentiality, what is one measure you can implement in your practice to protect patient privacy and confidentiality?
Health Education Activity Proposal
identify a local vulnerable population (in your area) that you are interested in learning more about and helping through a health education activity. Identify the vulnerable population and briefly discuss what you think their health needs might be (in three to four sentences). This should be the focus of your health education activity, which will be due in Module Five.
You will need to critically describe the scenario, explaining and analysing the ethical dilemma(s) involved.
Pseudonyms must be used; the names of the hospitals and individuals MUST be deidentified.
The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses (2012) must be used to assist your reasoning and you need to identify which provisions are most relevant to your scenario.
The NMBA decision making framework (2020), as well as the Ethical Decision Making Framework as outlined in Chapter 2 of the set Text are also to be used, and you need to describe how you worked through the ethical dilemma(s) to resolve it.
The discussion needs to include the relevant Bioethical Principles and information within the topic content that you considered when resolving the dilemma.The NMBA Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses (2016) and the NMBA Code of Conduct for Registered Nurses (2018) may be useful to assist your discussion.
As a reflective paper, it is appropriate for you to write in the FIRST person, that is you should OWN your experiences by writing me or my.
Referencing is required for this paper (APA 7th edition). Use as many references as you need to adequately support your discussion.
In preparation for writing this assignment, here are some things for you to consider helping you plan.
1. What happened, why, what events lead up to this situation?
2. Were there any precipitating causes or occurrences?
3. How did you deal with the situation?
4. What was going on in the environment, did this impact the event?
5. What bioethical principles were evident, if any?
6. What were/are the long-term effects of this incident?
7. Could you have considered the perspectives of others differently?
8. Were you acting to help the patient, or just because you had an order to do so?
Step 1: Describe the experience – What happened, who was there, where did the event occur, what did you do, what did other’s do? What impact might your values, beliefs, assumptions and biases have had on the situation? What were the possible consequences of your actions or inactions? Create a mental picture of the issue for the marker.
Step 2: Describe your emotional reactions to the event, what were you feeling both before and after the event, what emotions might others be feeling? Did these reactions trigger a change in your perspective of the event?
Step 3: Bringing the theory and the experience together. Analyse the experience of the dilemma using Bioethical theories or principles, the NMBA decision making framework (2020), the ICN code of conduct (2012), the ethical decision-making framework from Chapter 2 of the Text, and other relevant supporting literature. Use current information applicable to the Australian context
Step 4: Where to from here? Lessons for future nursing practice
What have you learnt? How will you use the insights gained from this experience?
If the same thing happened again, what would you do differently. Be specific.
What specific steps can you take to build on your knowledge and skills?
Discussion Post

Illustrate what you understand by the terms chronic and complex needs?.
Do you believe that your case study patient has complex care needs? If so, why?
identify in order of priority, three (3) specific needs for your patient.
Provide a rationale as to why you have prioritised these needs
For each of these needs, provide a detailed account of how they will best be met (in the patients home). This will include information about which multidisciplinary team members may be required; their role and a justification as to why they will be beneficial in assisting the persons care and avoiding hospitalisation.
Provide a conclusion that sums up the main points in your essay.
Black board discussion post on a personal clinical experience how a patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes may alter his or her response to a drug.
Post a description of the patient case from your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practice from the last 5 years. Then, describe factors that might have influenced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified.
Finally, explain details of the personalized plan of care that you would develop based on influencing factors and patient history in your case. Be specific and provide examples.
FOUNDATIONS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH/PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING
1. As the case manager contracted by the plan, what would be the actions you would take to construct a case management plan?
2. After completing the reading assignment this week state your opinions about the similarities and /or differences between a clinical nursing role and a population-focused role of the public-health nursing specialist. What are some of the complex issues between these roles? Be specific
Aesthetic Approach to Health Promotion Intervention
Aesthetic influences and shapes both physical and psychological feelings. Art is a process, a way of approaching life as well as an outcome. A clear link between creativity and healing has been documented.
Throughout history, people have used pictures, story, dances, and chants as healing rituals.

Assignment Criteria:Students will use an artistic, creative, and/or aesthetic approach to develop health promotion intervention addressing the following:
1. Identify an individual, family, community, or population for a health promotion intervention that could influence healing, disease prevention, health and well-being, physical health, stress reduction, or improve health outcomes.
2. Determine the cultural considerations needed for the health promotion intervention.
3. Design an artistic, creative, and/or aesthetic approach for the health promotion intervention.
4. Discuss the benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of the health promotion intervention.

Pulmonary Function
Lou is a 35-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She is normally a healthy young lady with no significant medical history. She takes no medications and does not smoke.
She reports that she was in her usual state of good health until approximately three weeks ago when she developed a “really bad cold.” The cold is characterized by a profound, deep, mucus-producing cough. She denies any rhinorrhea or rhinitis—the primary problem is a cough.
She develops these coughing fits that are prolonged, very deep, and productive of a lot of green sputum. She hasn’t had any fever but does have a scratchy throat. Lou has tried over-the-counter cough medicines but has not had much relief. The cough keeps her awake at night and sometimes gets so bad that she gags and dry heaves.
1. Identify the most likely condition that best explains the patient’s cough. Provide a description of the disorder and underlying respiratory alteration associated with the type of cough selected in the scenario.
2. Describe and explain the pathophysiologic process of the disease and underlying respiratory alteration associated with the cough.
3. Describe common clinical manifestations associated with the disorder.
Identify the causes and risk factors for the condition depicted in the chosen case.
4. Consider the following patient factors genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Select two patient factors and discuss the influence of the factors chosen on the disorder.
5. 3 peer reviewed articles less than 5 years old
