Consumer Health Information”Better Information. Better Health.” —WebMD”Trusted Health Information for You.” —MedlinePlusPopular health information websites (such as the ones noted above) have consumers logging on to acquire health information. Yet, research shows that many of today’s consumers need assistance searching for information as well as understanding and applying it. Lack of technological expertise, low levels of health literacy, and an inability to distinguish relevant facts are just some of the documented challenges.As you work through this Discussion, keep in mind that health literacy does not merely imply access to information, but also the capacity to process that information to make informed decisions. In this Discussion, be sure to conceptualize nursing’s roles and responsibilities in assisting patients with web-based information.References:WebMD. (2011).

Unit 5 Discussion Board

Johnson and Johnson, a holding company, has been a leading family staple for more than 135 years, originating in November 1887. Through its subsidiaries J & J has been delivering research, manufacturing, sales and development in the healthcare field. (Columbia Southern University) They remain one of the leading healthcare providers in pharmaceuticals medical devices, and consumer packaged goods. 

That being said, they could not have been as successful as they have been for so long if it weren’t for certain key elements to include.

1. Core Benefits

Their core benefits are what makes them stand out amongst the competition and the main reason why they continue to remain a household name over the decades of operation. With a drive to improve the way quality healthcare is delivered. Their main focuses have been improving lives, variation and inclusion and exceeding expectations. They are committed to using their size and reach for the greater good. Their mission is to strive for accessibility and affordability, and creating healthier communities by ensuring that everyone has access to a healthier mind, body, and environment. (About Johnson & Johnson, 2023) 

 2. Basic Product

The Basic Product includes many of the products that we have around our homes and includes products that are used in healthcare industries. These products are divided into three segments: consumer health, pharmaceutical and medical devices. Consumer health products are many popular names that you might have in your medicine cabinet to include along the beauty lines, AVEENO clean and clear and Neutrogena. Also, OTC (over the counter) medicines like Tylenol, Sudafed, Benadryl, and Zyrtec. There is also the popular baby care line which I have always been most familiar with, which is Johnson’s and Aveeno baby line of products. Even, as of the recent pandemic, the Johnson & Johnson Vaccination among others. Then there is oral care to include Listerine. So many items that we purchase that have Johnson and Johnson label on it whether we realize it or not and that is what makes them of the top leading companies in the world. 

 3. Expected Product

When consumers purchase these products, they expect them to reach their full potential (if not exceeding). Whether it be buying Tylenol to cure a headache or joint pain. Or buying AVEENO clean and clear in hopes of clearer skin after so many uses. These are the expectations that are preset before purchasing these items. 

 4.Augmented Product

Listerine was one of the Johnson’s brothers’ main products when they first took off. Over the years you see that there are new meanings under the Listerine line being introduced at an abrupt rate. These differences range from taste to the actual functionalities of the mouthwash itself. The first mouthwash was introduced as a way of surgical antiseptic for post op patients to ensure that they do not have to return due to surgical infection. To now it is widely used for killing bad breath germs for everyday usage the taste ranges from original to flavored, like cool mint. 

 5.Potential Product

As of Nov 2020, J & J had plans to roll out 14 new pharmaceutical drugs by the year of 2025. With projected sales of $4 billion a year per each medicine. (Erman & Steenhuysen, 2021) It was announced that J & J will separate the Consumer Health business, in an order to create two world health leaders, but with the same intent to remain innovative and the leader of the health care industry. With the focus still primarily being on self-care ( OTC ) and Skin Health and Essential Health, to include baby care, feminine care, wound care and oral health.

 The case scenario provided will be used to answer the discussion questions that follow.

Case Scenario

Ms. G., a 23-year-old diabetic, is admitted to the hospital with a cellulitis of her left lower leg. She has been applying heating pads to the leg for the last 48 hours, but the leg has become more painful and she has developed chilling.

Subjective Data

• Complains of pain and heaviness in her leg.
• States she cannot bear weight on her leg and has been in bed for 3 days.
• Lives alone and has not had anyone to help her with meals.

Objective Data

• Round, yellow-red, 2 cm diameter, 1 cm deep, open wound above medial malleolus with moderate amount of thick yellow drainage
• Left leg red from knee to ankle
• Calf measurement on left 3 in > than right
• Temperature: 38.9 degrees C
• Height: 160 cm; Weight: 83.7 kg

Laboratory Results

• WBC 18.3 x 10¹² / L; 80% neutrophils, 12% bands
• Wound culture: Staphylococcus aureus

Critical Thinking Questions

1. What clinical manifestations are present in Ms. G and what recommendations would you make for continued treatment? Provide rationale for your recommendations.
2. Identify the muscle groups likely to be affected by Ms. G’s condition by referring to “ARC: Anatomy Resource Center.”
3. What is the significance of the subjective and objective data provided with regard to follow-up diagnostic/laboratory testing, education, and future preventative care? Provide rationale for your answer.
4. What factors are present in this situation that could delay wound healing, and what precautions are required to prevent delayed wound healing? Explain.

Nursing Evidence based paper_sr

For this assignment develop a scholarly paper that includes the following criteria: 2-3 pages

1. Select a relevant clinical practice based problem/topic.

2. Describe the current clinical practice based problem/topic and include

·Population of interest

·Background information

3. Search the literature for four (4) evidence-based interventions on the problem/topic of interest. The literature can be individual studies or systematic reviews. A systematic review counts as one (1) intervention. If using a systematic review, report on the review, not on the studies identified in the review. The studies must be within the discipline of nursing (not medicine). All of the studies MUST be intervention studies. Review what constitutes an intervention study.

• identify the databases (e.g., CINAHL, Medline) and key terms used in initiating the collective search for all of the studies (not each study)
• ·         Describe evidence found in the literature

4. Write the PICOT question in sentence form using the following format. The question must reflect an issue or intervention within the discipline of nursing (not medicine). This means the question must be about something nurses have authority over, not something that is prescribed and/or carried out by physicians or another discipline. Interdisciplinary interventions are encouraged. An example of a PICOT Question and PICOT template can be found on Appendix A or the accompanying Melynk & Fineout-Overholt (2014) 3rd edition text online.

·         P = Population –who does this problem primarily effect (i.e. Nurses, patients, families, etc.)?

·         I = Intervention or issue interest –what is the proposed intervention identified in the literature as best practice?

·         C = Comparison intervention or comparison group –what is the current practice? Compare the best practice intervention identified in the literature with the current practice.

·         O= Outcome –how would you determine if the change/implementation has been effective?

·         T = Time –how long would the new change/intervention need to be in effect before you anticipate evaluating the outcome?

5. 2-3 pages

6. Include level 1 and level 2 headings, an introductory paragraph, purpose statement and a conclusion.

7. Write the paper in third person, not first person (meaning do not use ‘we’ or ‘I’).

8. Four (4) references from professional peer-reviewed nursing journals to support the paper. References should be from scholarly peer-reviewed journals (review in Ulrich Periodical Directory) and be less than five (5) years old.

9. APA 6th edition format is required (attention to spelling/grammar, a title page, a reference page, and in-text citations)
