Discuss long-term care, special populations and palliative care

/in /by

You are a newly hired VP of mergers and special projects. You have noticed that there are shifts in the healthcare industry and you want to ensure your facility can continue to sustain itself in the future. You want to make a recommendation to pursue a specific population to increase funding, but you must make a logical explanation to the board.

Create a PowerPoint presentation (8-10 slides) and make a recommendation to the board. Use the notes section in PowerPoint to provide detailed speaker notes with your presentation that fully explain each point and justification for your recommendations.

  1. Create a timeline of the development of the US healthcare system which includes the following :
    1. The shift from physician power to insurance company control.
    2. Public versus private sector institutions.
    3. Medicare and Medicaid, Prospective Payment System, and the trend shift from private insurance to HMO.
    4. Potential impact of U.S. healthcare system reform.
  2. Discuss long-term care, special populations and palliative care. Also address insurance types for different populations and settings, systems for measuring quality, and types of providers working in each type of facility.

Make a recommendation on serving one of the populations (long-term care, special populations, and palliative care).

Choose a topic related to health that has meaning to your personal health, interests, and well-being

/in /by

Choose a topic related to health that has meaning to your personal health, interests, and well-being. This may be a disease, such as diabetes, or a healthy fitness activity. Conduct a database search comparing one of the following database directories with Google Scholar. CINAHL and Google Scholar PubMed and Google Scholar Explain how you were able to narrow down the number of article hits you had initially, and present within your post a summary of the credible article you chose as your resource. How do you know your article choice is credible? Which database do you prefer and why?

2. For this discussion, we will consider the use of social media and personal technology. What are the legal and ethical implications, if any? Why or why not?

Choose one of the following scenarios to research, locate a credible article, and discuss the ethical and legal implications related to the use of social media and/or personal technology associated with each.

Your best friend, a nurse, posts the following on Facebook, on her day off, and from her home computer: “What a crazy day at work yesterday! I met the cutest little old man from my street! I really cannot believe he is 98 years old and still sharp as a tack! He made me laugh when he said he wanted a prescription for Viagra, and I think he was serious! He really made my day when he said that he thought I was the prettiest nurse on the unit!” A work colleague in the obstetrics department has a public nursing blog, and her latest entry states that she had the “most difficult time at work caring for the mother of a baby that had died due to abuse-related injuries, and she is here now to have another child.” Her post goes on to say that she and her husband have had problems conceiving, and anyone who abuses a child should be automatically sterilized or be forced to give the child up for adoption. You are on break for lunch, sitting outside in the beautiful sunshine, when you see a car pull up to the main entrance of the hospital where you are a nurse. Out steps your favorite professional football player, along with his wife. She looks as though she has been punched in the face, considering the bruises, black eye, and swollen lip that you see. You grab your smartphone, quickly snap some photos, and then tweet them to your followers on Twitter.

How will using a database search facilitate your

scholarly work; nursing work (evidence-based practice); and personal self-development?

WHAT IS RETAIL MEDICINE, AND SHOULD IT BE OF CONCERN TO HEALTH CARE MANAGERS AND LEADERS IN FOR-PROFIT AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENVIRONMENTS?

Discussion 1:
The drug I chose to discuss is smoking cessation Zyban.  This is an FDA approval drug that is targeted for adults who are having a difficult time breaking the habit of smoking cigarettes.  The patient will need to see a doctor who will perform a physical and speak to the patient encouraging them to continue on the medication to become a non-smoker.  The doctor will write prescription and the patient pharmacy will fill it.  The cost of prescription is often covered by the patient insurance due to society behavior toward smoking and the health benefits when you stop.   The development of smoking cessation products was introduced in the late 90’s due to the overwhelming campaign to curb smoking because of the adverse health problems associated with nicotine. The most commonly observed adverse events consistently associated with the use of Zyban are dry mouth and insomnia (FDA 101: Smoking Cessation Products, 2015).
In addition to warnings about changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depression and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking this drug, the medication guide for Zyban cites other adverse events and risks related to this product, including seizures, high blood pressure, and allergic reactions. Because Zyban contains the same active ingredient as the antidepressant Wellbutrin (bupropion), users and potential users are urged to talk to their health care professional about risks of treatment with antidepressant medicines (FDA 101: Smoking Cessation Products) .
This product is on the Med Watch list (FDA) due to the multiple warnings and symptom users may experience.  Patients who receive a prescription for this product are 18 years and older.  This product cannot be prescribed for children (FDA 101: Smoking Cessation Products).
I am an ex-smoker (18) years ago, and it took me three tries going cold turkey.   I am not sure I would have been courageous to try this drug.  The symptoms I experienced included irritation and an increased appetite for food which gave me 70lbs more of body weight.  But the benefits I received; to be able to have better lungs and breathing cleaner air was worth the 6 months it took me to break this habit.

Discussion 2:
This discussion is a research activity in which you will evaluate the pros and cons of FDA regulation of the pharmaceutical industry. To meet the requirements of this discussion activity, you may consider the topic from either of the following perspectives: 1) a specific drug and its impact on patients or on costs.
For this week, I choose to look into the use of FDA regulations in regards to aromatherapy products. In our household, I try to do as much natural or essential oils as possible for illness and aliments. The job of the FDA is to put into place what a product is intended for as far as use and abuse goes. This is linked to labeling and advertising of the product as well.
Some pros of having on FDA rating for essential oils is the safety factor. In other words, when you use a product, you are told what to do with it and what should be expected along with possible side effects. This gives the consumer a safety net of sorts. It helps put trust in a product when you see those three special letters on the package or box.
A con can be it makes the world of generic products very difficult to break through. For those people that can’t afford the real deal or main market product, they could use the off brand for the same purpose. But you are taking a risk with that brand without the FDA approval. It may not work as well or you may have to use more of the product than you would with the name brand. Both of these can impact the consumer through cost, risk and what is needed or desired.
