Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role. What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? would all certainly apply. Would you add policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud? Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation.

Mental health stigma is noted as a barrier to treatment in many individuals with mental illness. Stigma can lead to a delay in seeking help and poor adherence to treatment out of fear of how individuals with mental illness may be viewed. Parker and Aggleton (2003) note that “Stigma marks the boundaries a society creates between “normal” and “outsiders”, between “us” and “them” (Heijnders & Van Der Meij, 2006, p. 353). Watch the 10-minute Ted Talk below on mental health and stigma and answer each of these questions related to mental health and stigma. https://youtu.be/OsRF8xGgbPA 1.) How can health care providers decrease the stigma of mental illness? 2.) How does stigma affect the revolving door seen in the mental health care system? 3.) Do you believe mental health stigma has shaped any of the concerns nursing students may have about their clinical experience? Heijnders, M., & Van Der Meij, S. (2006).

Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors. One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment. a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following: Rosenthal, L. D., & Burchum, J. R. (2018). . St. Louis, MO: Elsevier. 5 REFERENCES NOT MORE THAN 5YEARS ZERO PLAGIARISM

We have all been influenced by leaders at some point in our lives. Individuals make decisions in a way that achieves set goals. They demonstrate their leadership when they follow through on those decisions to ensure that they were the right decisions. Individuals show the way when they model to teams and others how to accomplish the tasks at hand. However, leaders vary greatly in their decision-making, in part because of their own particular leadership styles. Similar to emotional intelligence, it is important to be aware of your own leadership style as well as the leadership styles of effective healthcare leaders and managers and how those styles affect decision-making. To prepare for this Assignment: Write a 1- to 2-page paper that identifies the following: Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct
For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question know as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question, identify six supporting peer-reviewed research articles, as indicated below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed research articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments. Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment. Note: To assist in your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Search for diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used in the articles the search produced, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods. Systematic Reviews, Literature Reviews, and Metanalysis articles are good resources and provide a strong level of evidence but are not considered primary research articles. Therefore, they should not be included in this assignment.
For this Discussion, you will examine central tendency and variability in terms of pulse rate. Find and record the pulse rate of 10 different people where you work. Tell us a little about the population from which you drew your data. Describe your findings in terms of central tendency and variability. Consider using some of the following to help you form your initial discussion post: What are your measures of central tendency (i.e., mean, median, and mode)? Which might be the better measure for central tendency and why? What is the standard deviation of your data? How variable are the data (range)? Are there any outliers? Investigate possible reasons for these outliers, and things that might limit them if further study were to be carried out. What are some variables that should be considered in discussing your measures of central tendency and variation? Is there any skewness in your measured data? How would you describe this data (i.e. what insights did you gain from this data)?
In recent years, hackers have targeted medical records, from hospitals and other healthcare institutions, across the country. These records contain personal information, contact information, and most importantly, for the hackers, information that may prove useful in stealing an identity. Thus, healthcare organizations have made it a priority to protect patient records and privacy. However, with the influx of technological advancements and hacker determination, there is no perfect way to ensure that all records are secure and safe. In addition to medical records, privacy concerns are relevant with any patient chart in any setting. For example, a chart left open on a computer monitor in a patient room, employee passwords and log-in information, and new employee access and screening all represent other ways in which ethics and security merge in healthcare and nursing practice. For this Discussion, you will consider the importance of ethics as it relates to security. You will also reflect on how these topics might affect clinical practice and the connection to nursing informatics.

Center for Disease Prevention, and Control, came up with ‘Clean Hands Count Campaign’ which offers training for healthcare providers. May 5 is World Hygiene Day. Hand hygiene is now regarded as one of the most important element of infection control activities. In the wake of the growing burden of health care associated infections (HCAIs), the increasing severity of illness and complexity of treatment, superimposed by multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogen infections, health care practitioners (HCPs) are reversing back to the basics of infection preventions by simple measures like hand hygiene. This is because enough scientific evidence supports the observation that if properly implemented, hand hygiene alone can significantly reduce the risk of cross-transmission of infection in healthcare facilities (HCFs). Checking of gastric residual is another evidence based practice that helps prevent or reduce risk for aspiration pneumonia. Patients with G-tube feeding that is not digesting fast enough would be at risk for aspiration. Reference Center for Disease Prevention, and Control, (2017. .

The Case of Marisol Marisol is a 40-year old single female from a tight knit Puerto Rican family. She is employed full time as a data analyst for a technology company. She has steadily progressed in her career by working for relatively small companies where her role allowed her to work relatively independently. Unfortunately, working for small organizations was less stable financially so she has been working for a larger company for the past four years. Interacting with a larger work group has challenged her comfort zone. She prefers to spend time with a network of close friends she has known most of her life whom she visits with one on one. Her family lives in the area, and she sees them frequently. Her parents and older brother have always provided a support system and practical help. She enjoys quiet evenings alone or at the home of her brother and his family. Her friends and family privately wonder why she’s never dated or wanted to travel.
