Few would disagree that nursing is one of the most underrated professions in modern times. Being a nurse isn’t easy. In fact, it is a field that can be extremely demanding and even unforgiving to those who pursue it. Being around the ailing and the frazzled for long hours and dealing with them patiently day after day can be challenging, to say the least.

The latest outbreak of High Pathogen Avian Influenza in the USA and Canada in the spring of this year and the inability to avoid animal welfare catastrophes ultimately proves that new emergency response strategies are needed. Strategies that are based on taking away the source of infection instead of killing as many animals as possible within 24 hours, regardless the consequences.
The statement that “It’s possible that human infections with these viruses may occur” and that “these viruses have not spread easily to other people” is confusing. Humans can become infected without showing clinical signs. They can become the major carrier of the infection.
Especially during depopulation activities, viruses easily transmit through responders. Tasks like taking layers out of their cages and transport the birds manually through the narrow walkways between the cages, and disposal of infected animals are specific risks that need to be avoided. Simply switching of the electricity so that sick birds don’t have to be handled is not the solution.
Although humans are supposed to be less susceptible, they can become carrier of the virus. Only the highest level of biosecurity could prevent the transmission through the humans and materials that have been in direct contact with infected animals and materials.
Simply switching of the electricity so that sick birds don’t have to be handled is not the solution. Avoid killing animals is always the better option and in Germany, the discussion on the strategy based on neutralizing risks and is in the making. Avoiding situations demands a proactive role of the poultry industry.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES 9
The Louisiana Medicaid Program Behavioral Health services
Introduction
Louisiana Medicaid has provided health care to its members for quite some time now. Mostly, the behavioral health system has incorporated the consumers, the community and other health care providers in the process of giving efficient services to the members (Ortenberg & Roth, 2013). Their focus has been to improve access to the treatment services that have become vital to people. Additionally, the system ought to expand the services that are being provided by the Louisiana Medicaid health behavior systems. The demand for that service has grown, and it’s the duty of the system to expand the services to meet the request. Finally, it’s also the goal of the health behavior system to provide care that is accessible to all at ease.
Description of Behavioral Health Services
The following are some of the services provided at the Louisiana Medicaid behavior care
Addiction services- This includes the individual-centered outpatient services. The health care provider provides rehabilitation and recovery process to the patients. The health care provider will help in the promotion of skills that are responsible for coping with the current lifestyle. The department will assist in the elimination of substance use symptoms and behaviors that may prevent recovery.
Crisis intervention- The department is responsible for the individuals experiencing a psychiatric crisis. When a disaster occurs, victims may be affected by such occurrences may cause psychological problems. Therefore, the crisis intervention program will do a preliminary assessment then followed by a crisis resolution. After that, the medical professional will then do referral and linkage to the relevant community service for further treatment processes.
Group psychotherapy- in this section, a group of individuals with similar behavior challenges will have to sit together and share their experiences. Apparently, they share personal coping skills and practices. Typically, the session will help the patient to identify which method works for them and open up to help in the recovery process.
Psychosocial rehabilitation- The section mainly helps in the elimination of behaviors or barriers that may prevent the healing of the mental Illness. Such behaviors may be to stay away from friends who smoke if the patient if fighting an addiction of smoking.
Care conference- It involves a group of medical practitioners meeting to discuss the treatment of a crisis.

The Health Promotion Model Nola J. PenderChapter 18Ov.docxoreo10
The Health Promotion Model:
Nola J. Pender
Chapter 18
Overview of Pender’s Health Promotion Model
Three major categories to consider in Pender’s health promotion model:
Individual characteristics and experiences
Behavior-specific cognitions and affect
Behavioral outcome
Individual Characteristics and Experiences: Prior Behavior
Prior behavior directly and indirectly effects likelihood of engaging in health-promoting behaviors
Direct effect of past behavior on current health-promoting behavior is due to habit formation
Prior behavior indirectly influences health-promoting behavior through perceptions of self-efficacy, benefits, barriers & activity-related affect
Individual Characteristics and Experiences: Personal Factors
Personal biological factors include age, body mass index, pubertal status, menopausal status, aerobic capacity, strength, agility, or balance
Personal psychological factors include self-esteem, self-motivation, perceived health status
Personal sociocultural factors include education, ethnicity, acculturation, socioeconomic status
Behavior-Specific Cognitions and Affect
Perceived benefits of action or the anticipated positive outcomes resulting from health behavior
Perceived barriers to action or anticipated, imagined, or real blocks or personal costs of a behavior
Behavior-Specific Cognitions and Affect
Perceived self-efficacy or the judgment of personal capability to organize and execute a health-promoting behavior
Activity-related affect or the subjective positive or negative feelings that occur before, during, and following behavior based on the stimulus properties of the behavior
Behavioral Outcome
Commitment to a plan of action marks the beginning of a behavioral event
Interventions in the health promotion model focus on raising consciousness related to:
Health-promoting behaviors
Promoting self-efficacy
Enhancing the benefits of change
Control of environment to support behavior change
Managing the barriers to change
Major Concepts of Nursing
According to Pender
Person: the individual who is the primary focus of the model
Environment: the physical, interpersonal, and economic circumstances in which persons live
Health: a positive high-level state
Major Concepts of Nursing
According to Pender
Nursing: role of nurse includes raising consciousness related to health-promoting behaviors, promoting self-efficacy, enhancing the benefits of change, controlling the environment to support behavior change, and managing barriers to change
Assumptions of the Health

Persons seek to create conditions of living through which they can express their unique human potential
Persons have the capacity for reflective self-awareness, including assessment of their own competencies
Persons seek to actively regulate their own behavior
Assumptions of the Health
Promotion Model
Persons value growth in directions viewed as positive and attempt to achieve a personally acceptable balance between change ...
overview-The term Nursing Process was defined by 'Hall' in 1955.
Yura and Walsh in 1967 proposed four components for nursing process ie. assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) proposed five components adding "Nursing Diagnosis" as the second component.
In 1982 the recommendations of NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) was accepted widely..
Definition-Nursing process is a systematic and rational method of identifying health care needs, planning and providing nursing care.
It provides a logical frame work on which the nursing care is based.
Purposes-To identify a client’s health status & actual or potential health care problems or needs.
To establish plans to meet the identified needs.
To deliver specific nursing interventions to meet those needs.
Descriptions-The nursing process is a systematic method that directs the nurse and patient as together they accomplish the following:
Systematically collect patient data (assessing)
Clearly identify patient strengths, actual and potential problems (diagnosing)
Characteristics-Various words and phrases have been used to describe the nursing process.
Key descriptors include systematic, dynamic, interpersonal, outcome oriented, and universally applicable.
Problem solving & nursing process-One of the strengths of the nursing process is that it is based on a methodology that is familiar to most nursing students problem solving.
Problem-solving is a basic life skill; iden- tifying a problem and then taking steps to resolve it are a matter of common sense. However, different approaches to problem-solving yield different results, some of which are more successful than others.
Advantages-It is systematic and has an orderly sequence
Encourages nurses to work together to achieve a common goal
Helps to identify the patient's health care status and actual or potential health problems.
Helps to identify nursing priorities and help direct nursing interventions based on identified priorities
Provides continuity of care
Identifies the needs and helps to plan the specific interventions to provide quality care.
Advantages to nurses-Provides consistent and systematic nursing education
Provides a common language and forms a basis for communication and understanding between nursing professionals and the healthcare team
Job satisfaction to nurses
Legal safety
Improves professional growth
An edited, and reedited, version of the story I wrote for RPS on the need for Person Centered Hospital Care in 2015. We ALL hope to avoid the past experiences of 4 point restraints, isolation rooms and punitive care that is so often experienced as re traumatization. It wasn't helpful for the clients or the staff either. That's what we are all working together to CHANGE.
To accomplish community health goals and its aims the following approaches are to be utilized by community health professionals:-
1)persuasive approach 2)enforcement 3)team approach 4)community involvement 5)Intersectorial approach

This movie is about many things – teen angst, race relations, and poverty. But what it's *really* about is teased hair, heavy eyeliner and miniskirts. And the title song, of course. Who could ever forget the gushing sentimentality of Lulu warbling about crayons and perfume? It is a charmer of a movie with life breathed into it by a fresh cast of young Brits. Released at a time when the world was captivated by all things British, it was relatively daring at the time it was made. A low-budget film that raked it in at the box office, Poitier, as in *Lilies of the Field*, wisely accepted a low salary in exchange for a share of the profits. But the biggest profit of all is his portrayal of the East End school teacher, Mark Thackery, who quickly learns that his students need a different kind of education than that of a textbook. It has been, unfairly or not, relentlessly compared to *The Blackboard Jungle*, and it is a blood-relation to *Up the Down Staircase* and *Dangerous Minds*. But none of them have the sweetness of Judy Geeson, as Thackery's irrepressible student Pamela Dare. At the end of the movie, when Thackery and Dare dance together, racial, social and philosophical barriers are smashed, and hope springs eternal.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
3. After completing this chapter,
the students will be able to:
Discuss contemporary factors
influencing the development of
nursing.
Identify the essential aspects of
nursing.
Maghan Das
4. Identify four major areas within
the scope of nursing practice.
Describe the roles of nurses.
Discuss the criteria of a
profession and
professionalization of nursing.
Maghan Das
5. Introduction
Nursing has had a significant effect on
people's lives. As rapid change continues
to transform the profession of nursing
and health care system. Today, nurses
bring knowledge, leadership, spirit, and
vital expertise to expanding roles that
afford increased participation,
responsibility, and rewards.
Maghan Das
6. Contemporary nursing
practice
An understanding of contemporary
nursing practice includes a look at
definitions of nursing, recipients of
nursing, scope of nursing, settings
of nursing practice, nurse practice
acts, and current standards of
clinical nursing practice.
Maghan Das
8. Florence Nightingale
“The act of utilizing the
environment of the patient to
assist him in his recovery"
(Nightingale, 1860). Nightingale
considered a clean, well-ventilated,
and quite environment essential for
recovery.
Maghan Das
9. Verginia Henderson
"The unique function of the
nurse is to assist the individual,
sick or well, in the performance
of those activities contributing to
health or its recovery (or to
peaceful death)".
Maghan Das
10. Canadian Nurses Association
(CNA)
Described nursing practice
as a dynamic, caring, helping
relationship in which the
nurse assists the client to
achieve and obtain optimal
health.
Maghan Das
11. Certain themes are common to
many of these definitions
Nursing is caring.
Nursing is an art.
Nursing is a science.
Nursing is client centered.
Maghan Das
12. Nursing is holistic.
Nursing is adaptive.
Nursing is concerned with health
promotion, health maintenance,
and health restoration.
Nursing is a helping profession.
Maghan Das
13. American Nurses Association
(ANA)
"direct, goal oriented, and
adaptable to the needs of the
individual, the family, and
the community during health
and illness" (ANA, 1973).
Maghan Das
14. In 1980, the (ANA) changed
this definition of nursing to
this "Nursing is the diagnosis
and treatment of human
responses to actual or
potential health problems".
Maghan Das
16. The Recipients of Nursing
are sometimes called
consumers, sometimes
patients, and sometimes
clients.
Maghan Das
17. A consumer is an individual,
a group of people, or a
community that uses a
service or community. People
who use health care products
or services are consumers of
health care.
Maghan Das
18. A patient is a person who is
waiting for or undergoing
medical treatment and care.
The word patient comes from a
Latin word meaning "to suffer"
or "to bear". Traditionally, the
person receiving health care has
been called a patient.
Maghan Das
19. A client is a person who engages
the advice or services of another
who is qualified to provide this
service. The term client presents
the receivers of health care as
collaborators in the care, that is,
as people who are also
responsible for their own health.
Maghan Das
21. Nurses provide care for three
types of clients: individuals,
families, and communities.
Nursing practice involves four
areas: promoting health and
wellness, preventing illness,
restoring health, and care of the
dying.
Maghan Das
22. Promoting Health and
Wellness
Wellness is a state of well-
being. It means engaging in
attitudes and behavior that
enhance the quality of life
and maximize personal
potential.
Maghan Das
23. Nurses promote wellness in
clients who are both healthy
and ill. This may involve
individual and community
activities to enhance healthy
lifestyles,
Maghan Das
24. such as improving nutrition
and physical fitness,
preventing drug and alcohol
misuse, restricting smoking,
and preventing accidents and
injury in the home and
workplace.
Maghan Das
25. Preventing Illness
The goal of illness preventing
programs is to maintain optimal
health by preventing disease.
Nursing activities that prevent
illness include immunizations,
prenatal and infant care, and
prevention of sexually
transmitted disease.
Maghan Das
26. Restoring Health
focuses on the ill client and it
extends from early detection of
disease through helping the
client during the recovery
period.
Maghan Das
27. Nursing Activities
Include the following;
Providing direct care to the ill person,
such as administering medications, baths,
and specific procedures and treatments.
Performing diagnostic and assessment
procedures, such as measuring blood
pressure and examining feces for occult
blood.
Maghan Das
28. Consulting with other health care
professionals about client
problems.
Teaching clients about recovery
activities, such as exercises that
will accelerate recovery after a
stroke.
Maghan Das
29. Rehabilitating clients to their
optimal functional level
following physical or mental
illness, injury, or chemical
addiction.
Maghan Das
30. Care of the Dying
This area of nursing practice
involves comforting and caring
for people of all ages who are
dying. it includes helping clients
live as comfortably as possible
until death and helping support
person cope with death.
Maghan Das
31. Settings for Nursing
In the past, the acute care hospital
was the main practice setting open to
most nurses. Today many nurses work
in hospitals, but increasingly they work
in clients homes, community agencies,
ambulatory clinics, long-term care,
health maintenance organization
(HMOs), and nursing practice centers.
Maghan Das
32. Nurses have different degree of
nursing autonomy and nursing
responsibility in the various settings.
They may provide direct care, teach
clients and support persons, serve
as nursing advocates and agents of
change, and help determine health
policies affecting consumers in the
community and in hospitals.
Maghan Das
33. Standards of Clinical Nursing
Practice
Establishing and implementing
standards of practice are major
functions of a professional
organization. The standards:
Reflect the values and priorities of
the nursing profession.
Maghan Das
34. Provide direction for professional
nursing practice.
Provide a framework for the
evaluation of nursing practice.
Define the profession's
accountability to the public and
client outcomes for which nurses
are responsible.
Maghan Das
35. )ANA) Standards of Clinical Nursing
Practice:
Assessment: the nurse collects patient
health data.
Diagnosis: the nurse analyzes the
assessment data in determining diagnoses.
Outcome identification: The nurse
identifies expected outcomes
individualized to the patient.
Maghan Das
36. Planning: the nurse develops a plan of
care that prescribes interventions to
attain expected outcomes.
Implementation: the nurse
implements the interventions identified
in the plan of care.
Evaluation: the nurse evaluates the
patients progress toward attainment of
outcomes.
Maghan Das
38. Caregiver encompasses the physical,
psychosocial, developmental,
cultural, and spiritual levels. The
nursing process provides nurses
with a framework for providing
care. a nurse may provide care
directly or delegate it to other
caregivers.
Maghan Das
39. Communicator
Communication is integral to
all nursing roles. Nurses
communicate with the client,
support persons, other health
professionals, and people in the
community.
Maghan Das
40. Teacher
As a teacher, the nurse
helps clients learn about
their health and the health
care procedures they need to
perform to restore or
maintain their health.
Maghan Das
41. Client advocate
A client advocate acts to protect the
client. In this role the nurse may
represent the client's needs and wishes to
other health professionals, such as
relaying the client's wishes for
information to the physician. They also
assist clients in exercising their rights
and help them speak up for themselves.
Maghan Das
42. Counselor
Counseling is the process of helping
a client to recognize and cope with
stressful psychological or social
problems, to develop improved
interpersonal relationships, and to
promote personal growth. It involves
providing emotional, intellectual, and
psychological support.
Maghan Das
43. Change agent
The nurse acts as a change agent
