Question Description

Write a Nutritional Research Paper about the 3 professional journal articles from the expanded bibliography in the attachment below. Instruction are the following: PAPER REQUIREMENTS Content: 1. Topic & References: The paper must be about a human nutrition topic and also must be about the 3 professional journal articles from your expanded bibliography. This includes that requirement that your 3 main references must be from 2007 or later and must be from professional peer-reviewed journals in nutrition, medicine, nursing, kinesiology, allied health, or science. (See the expanded bibliography guidelines for further information on reference requirements.) 2. The paper must be written in your own works (and sentences). There should be NO COPYING from references, even if citations are given. 3. Parts to Include: a. Introduction (first paragraph) – Briefly introduce your topic. Include a thesis statement. The thesis statement is one or two sentences that give the main idea of your paper. It should be clear from your introduction what your topic is and what your paper will be about. b. Body (supporting paragraphs) – Explain and discuss the major points of each reference. Your paper should include the following things about your articles (and you can write about additional features of your articles if desired): For research articles, discuss the research design, major findings, and major conclusions. For position papers, include relevant findings (including research findings) and the major positions taken on your topic. Be sure to include the name of the organization adopting the position paper. For review articles, include the number and type of research projects reviewed (if given), an explanation/discussion of major research results discussed in the article, and the major conclusions reached by the authors. Your references should be cited in the body of your paper following MLA or APA style. For example, if you state a fact, make a quote, or provide information from one of your references, then the source needs to be cited in both the text of your paper and in the reference list using MLA or APA format. c. Your own evaluation of the information in these articles: What, in your opinion, is the significance of the information or findings in your 3 articles? You can choose where to put this in your paper. For example, you could have a paragraph towards the end of your paper that evaluates all 3 articles at once, or you could evaluate the articles one by one as you write about them. d. Conclusion (final paragraph) – Briefly summarize and wrap-up your paper. Your conclusion should reinforce your thesis statement. e. Reference List – Use APA or MLA citation style. Papers will be considered incomplete with out a reference list. FAQ: Are more than 3 references allowed? Yes, as long as the additional references are from professional sources (textbooks, journal articles, medical dictionary etc-), make only a minor or supporting addition to your paper, and are cited properly. For example, if a student uses the textbook for a definition or for background information in the introduction, then the textbook should be cited in-text and in the reference list. The focus of your paper should be the 3 journal articles from your expanded bibliography (articles on your topic from professional peerreviewed journals, 2007 or later). Length & Format: 1. Title page with your topic title, your name, class session, and the date 2. Typed, double spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins 3. Use APA or MLA format: this means in-text citations (citations in the body of your paper) and a reference list are required. 4. Minimum 3 full pages of writing (to the bottom of the third page), not counting title page and reference list. Four to six pages are suggested. Papers shorter than 3 full pages will be incomplete and will not receive credit until completed; the late penalty may apply (the policy for incomplete assignments is at the end of these guidelines). The optimal length for your paper is the length you need to fulfill the assignment guidelines.

Overview
Develop a 3–4-page educational plan to help improve the health and welfare needs of a vulnerable population in your community. In your plan, include the demographics of your community and the health care needs of the selected vulnerable population.

—-I have selected the elderly population in south Florida

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act (2010) has changed the focus of community health care to disease prevention. Now persons who would otherwise not seek health care services can access safe, quality, continuity of care. Many from this population are identified as at-risk. They have a strong need to become more educated about their illnesses and learn how to prevent disease progression. The key is promoting health and wellness.

Questions to Consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.
•What are the demographics of your community in terms of the at-risk population?
•What resources are already in place for this population?
•What is the best method to approach the intervention with this population?

Assessment Instructions
Preparation
•Read the scenario below.
•Reflect on your community and review the literature to obtain recent demographic information regarding population, age, gender, socio-economic status, education, ethnic distribution, types of diseases, and morbidity and mortality rates.
•Once you have gathered this data you should be able to determine what the greatest health care needs are in your community and select an at-risk population that could benefit from a health education program.
•Search the library and the Internet for scholarly and professional peer-reviewed articles on your selected health issue. Examining the nursing literature will help to identify how to approach the health concern that should be addressed within the selected population. You will need at least four articles to use as support for your lesson plan.

Scenario

The Patient Outreach department where you work has asked you to create an education plan for an at-risk population that is underserved in your community.

As an active member of your community you are aware of several health disparities among the population; some members have difficulty accessing care, others have little knowledge of their chronic disease process, and often cultural issues influence medical care.

Patient Outreach would like you to select a group and create a lesson plan that will help educate them and help them better understand how to manage or prevent illness or disease. Consider characteristics of culture, ethnicity, and social background that might affect the target group.

The population you choose could be a subset such as the elderly, an ethnic minority, a lower socio-economic group, or one that you have identified from your own observations. Some examples might be producing a lesson plan on how to manage diabetes or how to decrease the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.

Directions

Create a lesson plan for your selected population. Be sure you identify the population your lesson is meant for. As you develop your lesson plan, keep in mind the comprehension level of your target audience and the information you want them to take away. Include the following:
•Explain why a specific population in your community qualifies as at-risk.
•Recommend evidence-based strategies to improve health outcomes for this at-risk group.
•Describe health care resources that serve this vulnerable population.
•Explain appropriate nursing interventions that will provide quality care to this vulnerable population.
•Create strategies to support plan implementation, addressing characteristics of culture, ethnicity, and social background that could affect the plan.

Additional Requirements
•Write between 1000 and 1250 words (4–5 pages).
•Include a title page and reference page.
•Provide adequate documentation of ideas and appropriate APA citations of relevant literature.
•Use a minimum of 4 references. (These must be recent, from within the past five years.)
•Double space, and use Times New Roman font, 12 point

Personal Ethics in Nursing

Personal, Cultural, and Spiritual Values in Nursing

Nurses play an essential role in health centers by improving the health outcomes of their patients. The uniqueness in nursing is that it helps both individuals and other people to be engaged in activities that will improve and promote their health which will enhance their well-being (Hill, 2012). Nurses are supposed to adhere to the ethical provisions of their profession and they should also be able to define the principles of their profession as it is expected by the nursing profession. The principles and the ethical provisions are governed and reinforced by the American Nursing Association (ANA) which is in charge of making sure that the implementation of the code of ethics is appropriate. Being a member of the Pentecostal Christian Church, there are some values instigated in the author that provide guidelines to the activities he undertake. These values are personal, cultural, and spiritual which influence his philosophy and worldview.

Question Description

For this discussion, you will define the nurse’s scope of practice as described by the ANA. You will also define the nurse’s scope of practice in your own state/country (OHIO). Next, you will explain a clinical scenario that demonstrates how you have applied this scope of practice successfully (from start to finish – a complete example for full credit). Finally, you will explain why all nurses should have a functional knowledge of their own nurse practice act.

Please organize your discussion board as follows:

Paragraph 1: Introduce your discussion board with a general statement about the discussion board, then a purpose statement. A purpose statement starts with: The purpose of this posting is to discuss . . . . then the key elements of what you are going to discuss. This paragraph should define the nurse’s scope of practice as defined by the American Nurses Association. This will cover the objective of: Define the nurse’s scope of practice as defined by the American Nurses Association.

Paragraph 2: You will also define the nurse’s scope of practice in your own state. This will vary between states. This will cover the objective of: Define the nurse’s scope of practice as defined by that nurse’s own state’s nursing law.

Paragraph 3: Next, you will explain a clinical scenario that demonstrates how you have applied this scope of practice successfully (from start to finish complete example). Finally, you will explain why all nurses should have a functional knowledge of their own nurse practice act. End the paragraph with a conclusion sentence or two that summarizes your thoughts.

Your initial post must be posted before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of two (2) references, in addition to examples from your personal experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it. Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes are allowed in the discussion board posts
