Grantham University Population Health Discussion

Question 1

Consider how evidence-based practice can be utilized in the discipline of community health nursing. Which impacts care most in community health nursing – cost or quality or care? What effect does the evidence-based practice have on cost and quality?

Question 2

Analyze a recent community disaster of your choice. What steps would you take to adequately prepare for the disaster and ensure safety and preparedness for your patients? (If you are not currently working directly with patients, think about a time in which you had responsibility for direct patient care.)

Question 3

Review the statistics for mortality and morbidity in your county. Rank order the ten (10) most prevalent health problems for men and women. Compare the two genders. What are the risk factors that make the health problem more prevalent in a specific gender? In your initial post, be sure to identify what the top ten health problems are for each gender.

Question 4

Consider a rural community with which you are familiar; discuss the economic, social, and cultural factors that affect the lifestyle in this area. What do you think are the healthcare-seeking behaviors of residents who live there?

What do you think are the challenges, opportunities, and benefits of living and practicing as a nurse in these rural communities? Support your assertions with the Healthy People 2020 site and data found there for your rural community.

Question 5

Investigate the resources in your community to determine what is available for victims of violence.

Choose one of the agencies and discuss the role of that agency in the community and whether their services are adequate and culturally competent. What suggestions would you give that would improve the services?

Question 6 Evaluate why the roles of the nurse in the local, state, and federal public health systems are different from one another.
