Assessment 3 Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy

Question description

ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS

SCENARIO

Throughout this course, you have focused on a specific health issue occurring within a specific population. You researched position papers regarding this health concern, and you developed a health policy proposal to positively impact the health of the affected individuals. It is now time to reach a greater audience regarding your policy proposal.

INSTRUCTIONS

Develop a letter to the editor of a peer-reviewed academic or professional nursing journal based on the policy proposal that you created for Assessment 2. Choose from one of the journals on the Ultimate List of Nursing Journals (in the Resources) and go to that journal’s Web site to find out the requirements for submitting a letter to the editor, such as format requirements, topics, and word counts. Make sure you select a nursing journal that covers the topic about which you are going to write. If you want to use another journal that is not on this list, please make sure the journal does address health care, because this is the purpose of the assessment.
The goal of your letter is to be informative about the policy that you developed for Assessment 2, while also being persuasive about the need for and benefit of similar policies in other health care settings. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your submission addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy Scoring Guide and Guiding Questions: Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy document to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.

  • Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
    • Look back to the data or scenario you used in Assessment 1 to address this criterion.
  • Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
  • Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
  • Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
  • Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
  • Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
  • Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style (or the journal’s preferred style).

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

The submission requirements for your editorial will depend on the journal you choose. To find out the requirements, go to the journal’s Web site. There should be a section regarding submissions that will address how to format letters to the editor, and whether there is a word count limit (there usually is a limit).

  • If the journal does not have submission guidelines for the number of resources required, use 3–5 sources.
  • To be sure that your instructor knows the submission and formatting requirements for your letter, include the journal’s guidelines on a separate page at the end of the document you submit for this assessment.

A manufacturer who produces and sells a defective vaccine that creates a risk of significant injury to the recipient is liable to any person injured by that defect under the principles stated in section 402A of the Restatement of Torts 2d.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. The typical requirements before the FDA licenses a vaccine include: careful testing in clinical trials by the manufacturer; peer review; and final review by FDA scientists.
At the same time, the prevailing law in many states is that a vaccine manufacturer is not liable for harm caused by a non-defective product due to its inherent or unavoidable dangerousness. But this legal position has it limits; such as, what if the rush to approve the vaccine misses serious side effects like loss of smell,  shortness of breath for asthma suffers, memory loss, racing heartbeats, joint pain and/or ineffective warning labels because the long term side effects are not well studied.
Assume that the principal manufacturers of a COVID-19 vaccine, such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and so forth, balk at actually releasing a vaccine to the public unless they are assured of absolute products liability protection whether under negligence or strict liability theories. They are fearful in a rush to bring a vaccine to the public in light of a second wave of the virus embracing the United States, Europe and other parts of the world that the manufacturers don’t know all the potential side effects that may arise as suggested in the paragraph above.
Here are the three graded in-class questions for your consideration.

  1. Should the federal government grant the manufacturers and sellers of a COVID-19 vaccine absolute immunity from any harm whether foreseeable or not?
  2. Should the federal government mandate that young adults and college age students between 15 and 25 and all adults over 60 years of age must take a COVID-19 vaccine?
  3. Should the vaccine be free for those who are mandated to take it?

Does the answer differ whether Biden or Trump is elected president?
Write your thoughts down in advance so you have your talking points available.
