Windshield Survey Conduct a windshield survey to identify a population and its primary health concern. Develop a 3–5-page report that explains demographic changes for a population and describes the health disparities and social determinants of health that can affect the population. Note : The assessments in this course build upon each other. You are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Explain the principles and concepts of disease prevention and health promotion for diverse and vulnerable populations. Describe a vulnerable or diverse population living within a neighborhood or community. Describe disease prevention and health promotion for a vulnerable or diverse population. Competency 4: Examine the ethical, legal, and economic factors related to health disparities in diverse and vulnerable populations. Identify health disparities and social determinants of health that can affect a vulnerable or diverse population. Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the health care professions. Describe the overall condition of a neighborhood or community. Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, APA formatting, and mechanics. As the population of the United States grows more diverse, the health care workforce must increase awareness of cultural differences and the overall shift in the demographics of the entire population. To provide high-quality health care to a community or population, health workers and educators must be competent in their understanding of the relevant characteristics of its ethnic or cultural groups. The ability of nurses to deliver high-quality care to a diverse population will influence health prevention and the treatment of illness. Windshield Surveys A windshield survey helps you create a portrait of the people who live within a specific neighborhood or community. This is an inexpensive, time-efficient way to assess and better understand a community and the people who live within that community. Understanding the demographics of a community will help you determine the kinds of health-related issues that are likely to exist, so you can plan the most appropriate types of wellness programs, health education, and disease prevention Preparation Over the past few years, leadership for the health care organization for which you work has noticed a distinct change in the population served by the organization. Leadership wants to make sure they are addressing the needs of this population. You have been asked to participate on an interdisciplinary team that is charged with learning how the population has changed and what needs to be done within the organization to develop a wellness education program that will target ...

They are not only leaders, but, they greatly influence the lives of the people that they treat. The responsibility is enormous in meeting the needs of the patients, As such, standards of conduct are provided to guide them in dealing with patients and other health care professionals. They have to work collaboratively with nursing staff members and other allied professionals in caring for their patients. Thus, legal issues concerning the allied professionals are examined and law in nursing is explored. Articles Beck, M. (2010).

I sent two attachements. One is the article that I want you to use. Make sure you get it. HITECH Legislation In order for organizations to receive the incentives offered through the HITECH legislation, they must be able to demonstrate that they are using the technology in meaningful ways. The following criteria for meaningful use must be evident to qualify for EHR incentives (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2012). The technology must: Improve quality, safety, and efficiency, and reduce health disparities Engage patients and families Improve care coordination Improve population and public health Ensure adequate privacy and security protections for personal health information For this Discussion you consider the impact of the meaningful use criteria of the HITECH legislation on the adoption of health information technology. To prepare: Review the Learning Resources on the HITECH legislation and its primary goals. Reflect on the positive and negative impact this legislation has had on your organization or one with which you are familiar. Consider the incentives to encourage the use of EHRs. Focus on the definition of meaningful use and how it is measured. Reflect on how the incentives and meaningful use impact the quality of patient care. Find an article in the Walden Library dealing with one of the criteria to qualify for meaningful use and how it has been successfully met. Post on or before Day 3 a description of how HITECH legislation has positively or negatively impacted your organization. Address how its related incentives influence the adoption of health information technology in health care and impact the quality of patient care.

This can be attributed to improved prevention such as proper hygiene, as well as vaccinations and other drug therapies. However, as the H1N1 pandemic illustrates, infections are sometimes unavoidable even when appropriate prevention methods are implemented. In clinical settings, patients present with various infections including common disorders such as flus and colds, as well as disorders that require more extensive treatment and care such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or tuberculosis (TB). As an advanced practice nurse, you must evaluate patients presenting with symptoms of infections and recommend appropriate drug treatments. This week you begin to explore infections by considering issues surrounding the prevalence, management, and education about HIV/AIDS. You also examine viral and bacterial infections, as well as the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents. Learning Objectives By the end of this week, students will: · Analyze reasons for the prevalence of HIV/AIDS · Analyze ways health care professionals can change society’s perceptions of HIV/AIDS · Analyze strategies to educate HIV positive patients on treatment and management · Analyze categories of antimicrobial agents · Differentiate between viral and bacterial infections · Analyze the relationship between infections and antimicrobial agents · Understand and apply key terms, concepts, and principles related to prescribing drugs to treat infections and infestations Photo Credit: E.M.

Antibiotics and similar drugs, together called antimicrobial agents, have been used for the last many years to treat patients who have infectious diseases. The treatment of bacterial infections is increasingly complicated because microorganisms can develop resistance to antimicrobial agents, since the first usage of antimicrobials, the resistance among bacteria has progressively increased and has accelerated within the last 10 years. This is largely due to the increasing presence of pathogenic microorganisms with resistance to previous antibiotic agents, resulting in the administration of improper treatment, not only in humans but also in companion and food animals and the environment which has caused the rise in antibiotic resistance. Although efforts are being made in all the areas, there is an urgent need to increase the effectiveness of these interventions or some bacterial infections will become difficult if not impossible to treat reliably.

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE: A RISING THREAT

IJRISE Journal

Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) are an essential practice to prevent increasing resistance against antibiotics. A successful ASP monitors not only prescribing patterns and practices but also contributes in minimizing the toxic effects of antibiotics. Moreover, ASP also facilitates the selection of disease specific antibiotics and enforces rules and regulations to rationalize the use of antibiotics. The aim of the study is to highlight the core elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs in Karachi. The key elements proposed by center of disease control (CDC) such as; leadership, accountability, drug expertise, actions to support optimal antibiotic use, tracking (monitoring antibiotic prescribing, use and resistance), reporting information to staff on improving antibiotic use and resistance and education were evaluated on Yes/No scale. The data was collected from 44 hospitals of different categories in Karachi and all the major elements were studied. It was observed that all the hospitals in one setting failed to comply with all the guidelines. It has been concluded that efforts should be made to design ASP at each hospital and implemented through suitable policies and procedures.

you will post on a current political issue that interests you and begin the weekly debates. The debate topic will be centered on the content for this week but will include current issues that are happening in politics and government. It is essential to follow the debate guidelines set up in Week 1 and participate fully in the debate process. Remember debating is not about who is right or wrong, but who can express their ideas in a professional manner using current evidence and a thorough understanding of the issue. Some potential topics for this week include: The Supreme Court often makes final judgments on a wide variety of cases. How does their decision affect the legislative review of the law or statute that was involved in the final decision? Discuss some of the ramifications of this decision based on other social issues occurring at the time. Presidential appointments to the United States Supreme Court impact the judicial philosophy of that body and the outcome of rulings. The first female member of the Court was Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Conner (1981–2006), followed by Ruth B. Ginsburg (1993), Sonia Sotomayor (2009), and Elena Kagan (2010). What impact will these appointments have on the judicial philosophy of the Roberts Court? Examples of interactions between the legislative and judicial branches of government—how did these interactions take place? Were they mandated in some way? Was there some other outside influence? Recent examples of preliminary and declaratory judgments. .

The case provides a synopsis with Ofra Sherman and Glaxo’s situations as the change was unfolding between these two firms. As you reflect on the change in this case study, respond to the following prompts as you prepare your DB thread for this assignment: What did Glaxo-Welcome do? What should they have done? Did Ofra Sherman do the right thing? What would you have done? What was Ofra Sherman’s predicament? How did she get into it? How do you evaluate her actions as described in the case? RESPOND TO THIS POST FROM FERGUSON Wellcome Israel is a pharmaceutical company operating in Israel. Wellcome is being acquired by Glaxo and soon will become Wellcome-Glaxo. This appears to be a hostile bid type takeover to create a large pharmaceutical company. All employees and management were extremely surprised by the takeover and are having a hard time processing it. The main them and problem that will be noted in this post is the lack of communication, direction and vision. Glaxo-Wellcome is on the way to becoming one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. There is an apparent hostile takeover in progress that no one including Wellcome management is aware of. As with any change there are periods of uncertainty, fear, and anxiety. The main focus is a general manager Ofra Sherman and her team who works for Wellcome Israel through Promedico. This takeover was done in a manner that is very disturbing in the fact that there was no communication and very little guidance throughout the entire process. What they should have done is really quite simple and that is communicate. As I mentioned before change is a very anxious time and can lead to stress and poor work performance for those involved. “Good communication throughout every stage of the change process is vital to keep everyone informed and motivation levels high.” (Kirke 2012) This takeover shouldn’t have been a surprise to Wellcome and they should have been upfront with employees about what was going to occur and then once the takeover by Glaxo started the communication should have ramped up. I think one of the best ways to have handled this would have been to have teams from both companies setting up meetings so there was a continuous flow of information. Ofra Sherman in my mind was in a very tough spot once again a lack of communication between all the parties really left her between a rock and a .

You will accomplish several acid-base titration exercises to complete this Case Assignment at the following Virtual Laboratory website: Strong acid versus strong base titration and weak acid versus strong base titration http://group.chem.iastate.edu/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/stoichiometry/a_b_phtitr.html First read the following article about pH indicators: http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Physical_Chemistry/Acids_and_Bases/Case_Studies/Acid_and_Base_Indicators In this experiment you will be analyzing the neutralization between a strong acid and a strong base. According to the Arrhenius Acid-base Theory, when dissolved in water, an acid raises the concentration of hydrogen ion, H + while a base increases the hydroxide ion, OH - concentration. When reacted together the acid and base will neutralize each other according to the net ionic equation (1). H + (aq) + OH ‐ (aq) → H 2 O(l) (1) An acid is considered to be strong if it completely ionizes in water. In this lab, you will be using the strong acid, hydrochloric acid, HCl, to neutralize the strong base, sodium hydroxide, NaOH, according to the neutralization reaction below. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H 2 O(l) (2) The progression of the reaction will be observed using a pH meter and a titration curve will be created using the experimental data. You will start with a sample containing only the acid and indicator and slowly add your standardized base. A titration curve is simply a plot of the pH of an acid versus the volume of base added, or vice versa. The titration curve gives a good description of how an acid-base reaction proceeds. The pH will start out low and acidic, then increase as it approaches the equivalence point, where the concentration of acid equals that of the base. Then as the solution becomes more basic, it will slowly rise and level off as an excess amount of base is added. Note that the equivalence point is slightly different from the endpoint of a titration. The endpoint is when the indicator changes color. This does not always correspond to the equivalence point. As pre-laboratory preparation it is critical that you review the ideas on strong acid-strong base titration presented in your class readings. Strong acid versus strong base With your first sample, select an indicator from the two options and do a quick titration by adding 1 mL increments until you reach pH 2.5; then dropwise increments until you reach pH 10.7; after that add 1 mL increments until pH 11.5. Record your buret readings after the addition of each increment. Allow time for the reaction vessel to become equilibrated and for the pH reading to become stabilized and then record the pH value in your notebook alongside the buret reading. Leave an empty column between the buret reading and the pH in which to place the volume of NaOH added (difference between present buret reading and initial buret reading). Stop the titration when you have reach.

Introduction to Access Control List  A host-based firewall essentially works closing and/or opening ports in a computer. The engine behind firewalls is built with Access Control Lists (ACL).  Network-based firewalls are implemented in device-specific appliances and routers. Basically, firewalls in routers filter packets through interfaces to permit or deny them.  Ports are layer-4 address specified in TCP/IP protocol suit that identify networking processes running in clients and servers.  ACLs are configured using shell-specific commands. In Cisco IOS, CLI commands.

Student Name Brief #5 Use of Audit Software: Review and Survey Date Central Message: Auditing has had to change from “around the computer” to “through the computer” due to sources only being available in electronic form. CAATs and CAATTs improve efficiency and effectiveness of audits. A variety of standards and statements were issued because new guidance was necessary once the growth of IT affected the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures. Continuous auditing is the key to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of audits. Author’s Theme: Auditors are advised to use CAATs to gather evidence so that they can increase the efficiency of inspection and analytical review. One of the many statements released on IT, SAS 94, stressed that IT’s impact on internal control is a result of the nature and extent of the system’s complexity rather than the size of the firm, which is why auditing through the computer is important when testing controls. Auditors can pinpoint the risk areas and thus have a better idea of what to inquire when questioning management; improving the quality of the evidence and thus the audit. Importance: Advancement in information technology has a direct impact on business processes and the audit. Increasingly, auditors are required to perform audits in computerized environments; therefore, additional standards are required to ensure that financial statements auditors continue to perform high quality audits. Conclusion/Opinions: (1) The author concludes that auditing through the computer is important when testing controls because of the impact IT has on internal control. GAAS field work #2 supports this because the IT system is a part of the entity’s environment, and especially, when it is complex, the auditor must audit through the computer to adequately assess internal control risk. (2) Using CAATs can increase the efficiency of audit procedures. SAS No. 106 indicates that CAATs allow auditors to inspect electronic evidence directly. (3) Auditors should use data analysis from audit software in order to pinpoint the risk areas and gain a better idea of what to ask management. AS # 5 states that risk assessment underlies the entire audit process, including the determination of significant accounts and relevant assertions, selecting controls to test, and determining the evidence necessary. Auditing Article-Briefs All Briefs are Individual Assignments Briefs are one (1) page write-ups of selected articles requiring you to (1) summarize the article with the central message and the author’s theme; (2) discuss 2 reasons why this is an important or unimportant topic for the audit profession; and (3) indicate your agreement or disagreement with 3 of the author’s conclusions or opinions and support your 3 points with different auditing standards (PCAOB, ASB, IAASB, ACFE, IIA etc.). Do not agree or disagree with the standards but agree or disagree with the author. You may NO.

Student Name:________________ 1. Article Title, Author, Date and Source: Transmission Unaccomplished, John Authers September 24 th 2010 Financial Times Page 12 2. Article Summary: “Transmission Unaccomplished” written in the Lex section of Friday’s Financial Times offers an interesting and simplified perspective of the complex and sophisticated purpose and workings of monetary policy. At a time when the world is reeling from the effects of misunderstood monetary policy in the United States and other nations around the globe, this article clearly cuts to the heart of the matter, provides a simple, easy to understand analogy relating monetary policy to an automobile. The authors describe the key moving parts of the economy as they correlate to their counterparts in an automobile. While he labor and resources constitute the fuel of the economy, technology and institutions correspond to the engine, and commerce is depicted as wheels. The financial system is the transmission, responsible for moving the power and energy created by the fuel and engine to the wheels. This simple analogy helps frame the context for the reason why central bankers – the transmission mechanics – were facing increasing difficulty. In particular, the 1.6 % drop in the dollar’s value, the lack of real economic turn-around, and the lagging increase in GDPs around the world. The authors seem to think the US, despite an increasing saving rate and 10% deleveraging, still has long ways to go on the road to recovery, and the automobile analogy suggests, is in need of significant repairs and rebuilding before it is truly road worthy. 3. How is the article is related to the readings and class discussions? The concepts in the article mesh with the readings in chapters 3 – 5 as a current, real world depiction of how monetary policy influences decisions in economics. The article highlights the need for central bankers to properly manage monetary policy in order to maintain the transmission of the vehicle, and keep the proper amount of power moving from the motor to the wheels. It questions the true value of quantitative easing, and highlights the ramifications of pursuing excessive QE as a policy. Just as was discussed in the first five chapters of the text book, monetary policy involves a delicate balance of adjusting interest rates, setting currency value, and establishing guidelines that enable prosperity and growth. The article also identifies too much intervention as a possible means for enhancing the problems we face, rather than ameliorating the problems. 4. What did I learn from this article? This article certainly helped put monetary policy, something I seem to be familiar with only through studying politics and economics, into a very concise, easy to understand framework that enables a deeper understanding of greater associated issues. I learned that the US liabilities are Student .
