Community health nurses, also known as public health nurses, work to improve the health of a population and reduce disease and disability. This holistic approach to healthcare draws on knowledge of nursing, social sciences, and public health.
A home visit is one of the essential parts of the community health services because most of the people are found in a home. Home visit fulfils the needs of individual, family and community in general for nursing service and health counselling. A home visit is considered as the backbone of community health service. A home visit is a family –nurse contact which allows the health worker to assess the home and family situation in order to provide the necessary nursing care and health-related activities.

Has your organization prioritized addressing health inequities? How can a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Model factor into your organization’s health equity strategy? How can you structure your plan’s benefits to have the greatest impact on underserved communities? What partnership opportunities are available with CMMI?
These are important questions CMMI plans to answer in a new webinar series focused on health equity! CMMI is sponsoring a series of webinars for current and potential Medicare Advantage Organization (MAO) participants in the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model.
The first webinar in the series provided an overview of the Model’s Health Equity Incubation Sessions effort, articulated a business case for MAOs to leverage VBID Model Components to address health inequities in their member populations, and provided specific guidance and clarification on the full extent of health equity focused flexibilities that fall under the Model’s waiver authority.

CHAPTER 10
Self-Check
Answer the following questions to the best of your ability.
1. The best way for program administrators to achieve useful program design or
reform is to collaborate with whom?
a. the population they are trying to serve
b. legal counsel
c. government advisors
d. academic researchers
Critical Thinking
Communication can take many different forms. Communication can include everything from formal
town hall meetings to informal conversations between two people. Communication does not necessar-
ily even need to involve talking. Describe three special populations and specify a form of communication
that could be used to gather information on each group.
Introduction
Policy makers and program administrators must realize that there is often a lack of communication between those creating the
programs aimed at vulnerable populations and
the individuals who make up those populations.
Programs won’t be useful if they do not directly
address the needs of the vulnerable in ways that
are accessible to the vulnerable. The best way to
achieve useful program design or reform is to
collaborate with the population you are trying
to serve. Program designers and medical prac-
titioners can learn a lot about the needs of those
they are serving simply by asking them. By hav-
ing conversations with patients and community
leaders, and even by asking patients and patrons
to complete surveys, policy makers, program
administrators, and practitioners gain insight into
the needs and wants of the vulnerable populace.
Only through a coordinated, collaborative effort
to address the serious issues confronting vulner-
able populations can the health and wellness of
said population increase to resemble those who
are not classified as vulnerable.

Effective program planning must include
communication between policy makers
and the individuals who make up the
vulnerable populations meant to benefit
from a particular program.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.

CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdfSachin Sharma
Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the health and well-being of children. Their responsibilities are wide-ranging, and their objectives can be categorized into several key areas:
1. Direct Patient Care:
Objective: Provide comprehensive and compassionate care to infants, children, and adolescents in various healthcare settings (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
This includes tasks like:
Monitoring vital signs and physical condition.
Administering medications and treatments.
Performing procedures as directed by doctors.
Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:
Objective: Collaborate effectively with doctors, social workers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for children.
Objective: Advocate for the rights and best interests of their patients, especially when children cannot speak for themselves.
This includes tasks like:
Communicating effectively with healthcare teams.
Identifying and addressing potential risks to child welfare.
Educating families about their child's condition and treatment options.
4. Professional Development and Research:
Objective: Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in pediatric healthcare through continuing education and research.
Objective: Contribute to improving the quality of care for children by participating in research initiatives.
This includes tasks like:
Attending workshops and conferences on pediatric nursing.
Participating in clinical trials related to child health.
Implementing evidence-based practices into their daily routines.
By fulfilling these objectives, pediatric nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health and well-being of children throughout all stages of their development.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

3. 12 PRINCIPLES OF CHN
1. Individuals, families and communities’identified needs are the
formulation for CHN work. Its main goal is to expand the use of
public health measures as part of the overall CHN approach.
2. Goal attainment is facilitated by having an excellent
comprehension of the agency’s goals and policies. Towards this
goal, the mission statement engages community health nurses to
positively realize their work.

4. 12 PRINCIPLES OF CHN
3. Family is the main unit of service for CHN. The degree to
which it can deal with its own challenges has an impact on
its level of functioning. As a result, the most effective and
accessible medium for CHN initiatives is the family.
4. The efficacy of client care is strengthened by sensitivity to
the client’s values, customs, and beliefs. Regardless of race,
faith and color, or socio-economic level, CHN services must
be sustainable and accessible to all.

5. 12 PRINCIPLES OF CHN
5. Health education and counselling are
integrated in CHN.
This foster and encourage
community efforts to enhance
people’s health by bringing concerns
up for discussion.
6. The achievement of goals is made
easier when co-workers and
members of the health team work
together.
Employees observe themselves on
how their contributions benefit the
entire organization.

7. Evaluation of the degree to which the CHN goals and
objectives are being met can be performed at a regular and
continuous basis. Through consultations, observations, and
precise recording, clients are involved in the evaluation of
their health programs.
8. To improve and maintain effective nursing practices in their
context, a continuing staff education program and high
quality client services are required. The agency’s staff
development program take into account the professional
interests and needs of community health nurses.

9. Maximizing the success of the community health nurses
activities by utilizing existing community resources. The ability
to connect with existing community resources, both public and
private, raises an understanding of what they require and what
they are entitled to.
10. The success of CHN program is greatly determined by the
active participation of the individual, family and community in
planning and making health care decisions. Participation in
activities of organized community groups satisfies the needs
and interests of the community.

11. The task completed is guided and directed by the supervision
of nursing services by qualified CHN employees. Employees’
ability to perform effectively and efficiently is enhanced.
12. The basis for evaluating the progress of planned programs and
activities, as well as guide for future actions, is accurate
recording and reporting. Community health records are used
in studies and research as well as legal documents, thus,
keeping accurate records is an essential responsibility of the
community health nurse and community leaders.
