Preparedness & Disaster Mgmt
/in Uncategorized /by JosephPlease follow the instructor carefully. There are 4 Discussions, your response to classmates should be at least one paragraph for each Discussion, address the discussion topic or question, be respectful, and add to the discussion. You may draw upon personal experience, course or scholarly references, citing appropriately. Restating the primary response, or agreeing or disagreeing without supporting statements will result in a lower grade.
In reference to including a paragraph for both primary and peer responses, 4-5 sentences constitute a paragraph.
Discussion one,
Within the United States, the triage has its purpose in serving within the emergency department (ED) by prioritizing the incoming patients and classifying patients who cannot wait to be seen. In addition, the triage nurse evaluates each patient, considering the safety of how long a patient should wait in the waiting room before being seen. Therefore, patients who are above a higher risk of having an emergency have a shorter wait time, in comparison to patients who are not at a high risk (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,2012).
On the other hand, a triage may seem as organized because there are staff involved in assessing who should be seen, however there are many ways a triage can be more effective for patients at high risk and low risk. Being that there are patients coming in and patients going out, the capacity level of the triage can be over than where the capacity level should be. Therefore, the patient flow in the emergency room is very important and by nurses and staff reducing time patients do spend in the ED will help reduce over capacity or overcrowding within the triage. So improving patient satisfaction and reduction, may reduce mortality and morbidity while keeping the patient flow (Jarvis, 2016).
Bottom of Form
Discussion two,
The purpose of triage in the emergency department (ED) is to prioritize incoming patients and to identify those who cannot wait to be seen. The triage nurse performs a brief, focused assessment and assigns the patient a triage acuity level, which is a proxy measure of how long an individual patient can safely wait for a medical screening examination and treatment (Emergency Severity Index Implementation Handbook, 2012). Having an effective triage system is vital in helping those who are in emergency situations. Having implemented policies and strategies to better serve the public is a great way in having an effective triage. Triage nurses who are professionally trained is an important factor and having experience in the field is another factor in providing efficient and accurate service in need. Furthermore, having triage to provide service before coming in to hospitals or clinics is an essential asset in the medical field and gives patients information that can be used in the future.
Discussion three,
Vulnerable populations can be described as “Any individual, group, or community whose circumstances create barriers to obtaining or understanding information, or the ability to react as the general population. … Circumstances that may create barriers include, but are not limited to age; physical, mental, emotional, or cognitive status; culture; ethnicity; religion; language; citizenship; geography; or socioeconomic status” (Emergency Preparedness for Vulnerable Populations: People with Special Health-care Needs). Knowing this definition you can see why they would be the ones to suffer in an emergency situation. Many of them have limited mobility which can cause issues when trying to evacuate an area. Those with language barriers may not necessarily understand directions that are being told to them, along with those who are hard of hearing may not be hearing instructions correclty. Furthermore, those with mental disabillities may struggle to grasp the gravity of emergency situations and either refuse to leave, or become violent with first resonders due to fear of the unknown. With the possiblity of all of these issues emergency planning must be done in great detail to ensure the safety of the vulnerable populations, along with the safety of those responding to them.
Discussion Four,
According to the Minnesota Public Health Emergency Training Series Module on vulnerable populations, “A vulnerable population is any individual or group of people with any physical, mental, emotional, cognitive, cultural, ethnic, socio-economic status, language, or other circumstance that creates barriers to understanding and/or barriers to the ability to act or react in the requested or anticipated manner.” (UM Public Health Staff, 2005). The key to understanding why these vulnerable populations are the ones to suffer most in an emergency incident is in the very definition of what makes them vulnerable in the first place. The fact that these individuals have a condition or lifestyle choice (sometimes not a choice) that prevents them from understanding and/or acting or reacting in the way that is expected is what makes them targets of being the most impacted from an incident to begin with. The best way that I can explain it is with an analogy that I have seen with expectations in a school setting. Imagine a teacher asking 4 students to climb the same tree, the 4 students are a monkey, a cat, a snake, and a fish. Some students simply cannot climb the tree without help. Now, imagine the same scenario, but instead of the teacher asking students, it’s an emergency worker explaining that the only way that your life will be saved is if you climb this tree. In emergency situations, the task being asked is not the problem, it’s a person’s ability to complete the task. There are some portions of every community that have differing abilities that will need help performing the tasks that need to be done.

Sentinel Event
/in Uncategorized /by JosephThe Joint Commission
The Joint Commission, or simply “TJC,” is an organization formed to accredit medical facilities. It is a private organization composed of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, risk managers, and other professionals. The main concern of TJC is patient safety. The Joint Commission Accreditation is voluntary. However, CMS states that, in order to receive reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, a health care provider must have completed the accreditation survey and be approved by The Joint Commission. Typically, TJC will visit every 18-24 months to ensure compliance.
HIM Professionals should be aware of what TJC evaluates to accredit a medical facility, because he/she may be called upon to provide needed information or otherwise assist in a TJC audit.
Suppose you worked at a medical facility and were given the assignment to prepare the facility for a Joint Commission audit. Watch the video on the TJC again, and download and view the TJC Readiness Checklist.
What to Expect from THC Surveyor (6:59)
Assignment:
A patient came to Dr. Bayberry’s office. She was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was given an antibiotic injection. Before the injection, she was asked the appropriate questions and denied having any allergies to medications. The medical assistant had the patient wait the allowed 15 minutes, and there was no visible adverse reaction. The patient was released to go home with her daughter. Five minutes after leaving the office, the daughter came back in a panic: the patient was unconscious in the car. Dr. Bayberry and the medical assistant went to the car to find that the patient had gone into cardiac arrest. EMS was called and the doctor and medical assistant did CPR until they arrived.
According to the article about sentinel events from TJC, what takes place now? Is there a need to do any reporting? Is TJC involved? Write a four-paragraph paper on what takes place after a sentinel event such as the above occurs. Save the file as “SentinelEvent”

Main Post
The behavioral risk factor that I selected from the Healthy People 2020 objectives is overweight and obesity among children and adolescents (ages 6 through 19), which has increased significantly over the last three decades (Knickman & Kovner, 2015). Currently, only 36% of Floridians are at healthy weight, and if we stay on our current trend, by 2030, almost 60% will be obese (Florida Health, 2017). Additionally, six out of ten children born today will be obese by the time they graduate from high school (Florida Health, 2017). Five areas in which reform is critically needed in order to prevent obesity are creating safe environments for physical activity, healthy food and beverage choices, message environments, and health care, work and school environments (Knickman & Kovner, 2015). The population-based intervention model describes downstream, midstream and upstream interventions for preventing overweight and obesity among children and adolescents (Knickman & Kovner, 2015).
A downstream health prevention program focuses on changing behaviors at an individual level, rather than preventing risk behaviors (Knickman & Kovner, 2015). Given parents’ influence and control over their children’s diet, physical activity, media use, and sleep, family interventions are a key strategy in the effort to eliminate childhood obesity (Ash, Agaronov, Young, Aftosmes-Tobio & Davison, 2017). An example of a downstream intervention that would be effective is to provide a hand-out for parents and children through the school with helpful tips on reducing screen time, suggestions for healthy food swaps (having an apple instead of chips after school) and suggestions for easy ways to incorporate exercise into your day, such as go for a walk as a family for 20-30 minutes after school each day.
A midstream health prevention program focuses on changing behaviors at a community level, with health promotion programs that are targeted at populations to change or prevent risk factors (Knickman & Kovner, 2015). An example of a midstream intervention that would be effective is to provide school-based sports and physical activity to children each day. Two main individual behavior determinants of health are diet and physical activity (ODPHP, 2018). The school would provide coaches and equipment for children to participate in sports who may not have the ability to otherwise in their home environment.
An upstream health prevention program focuses on developing policies at state and national levels in order to reduce the promotion of unhealthy products and behaviors (Knickman & Kovner, 2015). An example of an effective upstream intervention is the great efforts made in the public-school system to improve the quality of food provided in school lunches, and to eliminate the availability of junk-food to kids. In April 2014, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued new regulations, which took effect in July 2014, banning the sale of all junk-food in schools (Ballaro & Griswold, 2018). The regulations stated that only fruits, vegetables, dairy products, lean-protein foods, and whole-grain items could be sold in cafeterias or vending machines, limiting the maximum calorie count of 200 for snacks and 350 for entrées (Ballaro & Griswold, 2018). Foods containing trans-fats could not be sold, and drinks could contain no more than 35% sugar or fat, and must be limited to water, low- or no-fat milk, and 100% fruit or vegetable juice (Ballaro & Griswold, 2018).

Discussion: Creating, Developing, And Leading Effective Teams
/in Uncategorized /by JosephDiscussion: Creating, Developing, and Leading Effective Teams
A critical skill for all nurse managers is the ability to create, develop, and lead effective teams. When people are part of an effective and well-functioning team, they are more productive and have a stronger commitment to the organization. Nurse managers have a responsibility to create teams that fulfill functional needs within their units or departments. These can include leadership teams, ad hoc project teams, or primary work teams.
As a nurse manager, there is a variety of ways that you can enhance team functioning. The first step is developing the structural elements of the team and then designing the team with the appropriate membership. Just as you must critically examine each application during the employment process, so will you critically examine the skills and attributes of each employee before appointing him or her to a collective team.
In this week’s Discussion, you lay the groundwork for creating and developing a team for your unit, department, or health care setting. You also identify leadership strategies that you could employ to increase the team’s organizational effectiveness.
To prepare
Post a description of the team you would create, including the purpose or goal the team would serve, the team type, and the specific skills each member would contribute as well as their job positions. Describe at least two leadership strategies you could implement to help this team effectively achieve its purpose or goal.

Patient Comunication
/in Uncategorized /by JosephPrepare a 3–4-page report on nurse-patient communication in which you address types of communication, factors that influence the communication experience, and how the patient experience affects health outcomes. Recommend evidence-based strategies to improve nurse-patient communication and explain how the strategies consider patient demographics.
Nursing professionals do not only communicate with others within their organizations—often, they are also the first point of contact with patients. Thus, nursing professionals need superior communication skills to explain procedures and medication instructions, as well as to listen to what patients need to say.
Imagine that, in an effort to reduce the number of patient complaints about nursing staff, organizational leadership has asked your department to prepare some preliminary research on a number of different topics. Your topic is patient communication, such as the following:
Preparation
Search the Internet for peer-reviewed journal articles or other professional resources on the topic of effective communication with patients. You will need at least 3 resources to support your work in this assessment.
Directions
Prepare a report on patient-nurse communication in which you include the following:
Format this assessment as a report that you would give to your supervisor. It may be helpful for you to review how your organization formats internal reports and incorporate your findings. You are still required to adhere to APA guidelines for in-text citations and references, as well as for formatting your reference page.

EThics 8 case study
/in Uncategorized /by JosephStudents will complete an APA paper about the following case study. The provided case study represents ethical issues of historical interest.
Case Study
A nurse has sued Memorial Hospital, charging that she was demoted after complaining about a heart surgeon tossing bloody tissue at her during an operation. The eight-page complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court by Sonja Morris alleges that Dr. Bryan Mahan tossed the 4-by-6-inch piece of tissue at her, hitting her on the leg during an open-heart surgery in August 2008. She contends Mahan made a joke about it to the other surgeons, saying, “Oh (expletive), I hit her. Can we get cultures on that?” Morris said she felt humiliated as the other surgeons chuckled. Mahan could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
Morris claims that the incident was part of a pattern of harassing behavior by Mahan toward her. She also alleged that in June 2008, Mahan came up behind her and hit her in the head. She told him to stop, but two weeks later, he did it again, the suit alleged. Again she asked him to stop.
Chris Valentine, a spokesman for the hospital, declined to comment on the lawsuit. “Obviously, because it’s in legal hands, we’re not in a position to comment,” he said. Mahan is the chairman of cardiac and thoracic medicine at Memorial. He is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Morris has worked at the hospital as a nurse since June 1999. She has been a member of the heart surgery team since October 2007.
The incident with the bloody tissue occurred on Aug. 28, 2008, after normal working hours during an operation in which doctors were doing a procedure known as a pericardiectomy. The surgery involved removing a protective layer of tissue from the heart. Morris contends that was the bloody tissue that Mahan tossed at her. She said she was standing at a work station about 15 feet away from the operating table. Because the operation was still in progress, she was unable to immediately clean the part of her leg that the tissue hit. She filed a complaint about the incident but said that resulted in no disciplinary action.
On Dec. 10, she filed a notice of claim against Mahan and the hospital. Her complaint to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleged that she was subjected to a hostile work environment because of her gender. Seven days later, she said hospital administrators removed her from the heart surgery team, considered a prestigious position, and transferred her to the main operating room. The suit alleged that this action violated her First Amendment rights to petition the hospital to correct something she considered wrong.
