Faculty Comments:

I have included some links from the course site for assistance with APA. There are many parts of your SA report that indicate material taken directly from other sources without appropriate citation such as direct verbiage. I believe this to be an issue with APA errors rather than plagiarism. Please rewrite the assessment and highlight your changes to reflect credit to the sources. For instance “In the wake of a global nursing shortage, maldistribution of the health workforce, increasing healthcare costs and expanding workload, it has become imperative to examine the role of nurse managers leadership styles on their staffs outcomes.” This is taken directly from the article.

You may want to review your SA report with your coach for guidance as well in understanding the report as I will have to report future concerns as an academic honesty breach.

Please use headers per APA guidelines to assist with flow of the assessment.

Explore and Critique a Needs Assessment and Managerial Strategies

/in /by

In order to fully explore this important concept, we will return to our selected department or governmental agency. Develop a comprehensive paper on your departmental or entitys needs assessment and management strategies by identifying and analyzing human and non-human resources, including capital projects, technology, and facilities. Provide major justifications or rationales for capital project needs.

To conclude, compare and contrast existing problems in the federal, state, and local public policy approval processes that affect the needs assessment and management strategies. Relate your findings to your department or entity as an example, being as specific as possible.

Discussion Eco

Is the GDP Still Accurate in the Digital Age?

GDP is the sum of all income earned in a country during a year. Alternatively, it can be thought of as the value of all production in an economy during a year. But do income and production measure happiness?The way we measure GDP can both overstate and understate peoples happiness and well-being. It understates economic activity and well-being when it does not take into account production that is not exchanged in a market (grandma providing free baby-sitting) and leisure time. It overstates well-being when two otherwise identical activities are measured the same even though one produces more pollution.

Reply to these questions to begin your discussion:

  • Should we continue to measure GDP as we do now? If you dont think it should be changed, explain your reasoning. If you think it should be changed, what changes would you recommend, and why?

Health Promotion In Minority Populations. BY2/16

/in /by

Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include the following:

  1. Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
  2. What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
  3. Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
  4. What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?  
  5. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
  6. What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and public health content.
