 DISCUSS  AND PROVIDE 2 SPECIFIC WAYS EARLY CONCEPTUALIZATION ABOUT NURSING

1- Discuss  and provide 2 specific ways Early Conceptualization About Nursing Theory can be applied to advanced practice nursing. Identify one MSN Essential that most relates to this particular topic.
*Under the Class Resources tab, students will find the MSN Essentials which help to guide and shape graduate nursing education. Select 1 of these essentials that most closely reflect the concepts of this theory.**
-All discussion posts must be minimum 250 words, references must be cited in APA format, and must include minimum of 2 scholarly resources published within the past 5-7 years.  Please be sure to cite your reference(s) in APA format, at the end of your posting.
One of the reference that you can use would be:

BLUMBERG’S NURSING HOME (BNH) IS A 100-BED MEDICARE AND MEDICAID CERTIFIED

Blumberg’s Nursing Home (BNH) is a 100-bed Medicare and Medicaid
certified facility in suburban Philadelphia, PA. The administrator
recently terminated the facility’s Director of Nursing (DON),
receptionist, and dietary aid for inappropriate conduct. They had
all been involved in purchasing and using illegal substances on
facility grounds. Facility staff, as well as many of the more lucid
residents, have found out about the incident. The charge nurse has
been appointed interim DON. The human resource manager has sent a
memo to all staff informing them of a mandatory staff meeting to
discuss BNH’s code of ethics and to provide additional training on
workplace culture. Because federal law requires that there be at
least one (1) registered nurse on duty for a minimum of eight (8)
hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and that the DON must be a
registered nurse (RN) – which the interim DON is not – BNH is out
of compliance.
Considering the reason behind the termination of the
employees, formulate a human resources policy that addresses
inappropriate conduct in the workplace, the process of reporting
inappropriate conduct, and the consequences of violating the
policy. Explain your rationale.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AS A COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEM. VIOLENCE AND NURSING’S RESPONSE.

Substance abuse as a Community Health Problem.
Violence and Nursing’s Response.
Please read chapter 22 and 23 of the class textbook and review the attached Power Point Presentation.  Once done please answer the following questions;
1.  In your own words define substance abuse and give some examples of some substances and the impact in the health of your community.
2.  How can you apply the levels of prevention when dealing with the problem of substance abuse in your community.  Give some examples.
3.  In your own words define violence and discuss the role of the community health nurse in the management of this public health issue.
4.  Discuss recent violence acts that happened in your community of nationally and how do you think it could be prevented and the role of the community nurse in the prevention of them.
As always present your assignment in an APA format word document Arial 12 font attached to the forum in the discussion board call “week 6 discussion questions”.  A minimum of two evidence based references besides the class textbook .  A minimum of 500 words are required.

How would that impact not just an individual patient, but your entire patient population?

Epidemiology and Population Health
Reflect on your nursing practice for a moment. If you could wipe out one illness, what would it be? How would that impact not just an individual patient, but your entire patient population? What would be the long-term benefits of eliminating that one illness?
The eradication of smallpox by 1979 provides an excellent example of this scenario. This eradication came about as a result of global collaborative efforts involving many countries and organizations, as well as the application of epidemiologic methods. In spite of high initial financial costs, it is estimated that millions of dollars continue to be saved around the world each year as a result of the eradication of this disease.
The eradication of smallpox illustrates the rich history of epidemiology and demonstrates the cost/benefits and implications of improving health at the population level. The application of epidemiologic methods and principles to other critical population health issues continues to play an essential role in improving health and health outcomes.
For this Discussion, you will identify a current population health problem, and you will examine how, and if, the problem is being addressed through the application of epidemiologic principles. You will also discuss the cost-effectiveness of dealing with the problem at the population level.
To prepare:
Review      the Learning Resources, focusing on the smallpox epidemic of the 1960s and      1970s and how health organizations applied principles of epidemiology to      eradicate this disease. (See attached file)
In      light of this example, consider the cost effectiveness of addressing      smallpox at the population level.
Using      the Learning Resources, research a current population health problem      (local or global). Select one on which to focus for this Discussion.
Think      about how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be      applied—to address the problem.
What      lessons from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox might      be applicable to this selected problem? What are the financial benefits of      addressing this issue at the population level as opposed to the individual      level?
By tomorrow Wednesday 02/28/18 by 12pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of THREE scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headers as numbered below:
Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Briefly summarize your selected population health problem and describe how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address the problem.
2) Are there any lessons learned from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox that can be applied to your selected problem?
3) Evaluate the cost effectiveness of addressing this health problem at the population level versus the individual level.
Required Readings
