What are public health priorities for Maryland? Do you believe that any critical issues have been given less consideration than appropriate?

Paper- Student will select one theoretical model and apply to real-life scenario; propose a study that you will implement in your place of work, guided by a theoretical framework or theory.   *I’m a Registered Nurse, Cardiac Unit, Hospital is my work setting.*   Outcome Measure: A 5-page word-processed manuscript (double spaced, one-inch margins, excluding references) that is organized using the following structure: Background (why this is an important proposed study) Methods (how it will be implemented? What is the theoretical framework or theory that supports your study? Which instruments will you use to guide your theory or plan your study? How will you measure your outcomes?) Anticipated results (if applicable) Discussion (practice change, policy recommendations) b. Formulating your topic. Please be clear when writing the introduction to your topic and how the selected model can help identify potential points of intervention. You should select a subject that interests you professionally and that by researching the topic will improve your clinical expertise and understanding of the selected area.   Example: Personal beliefs (self-efficacy) and willingness are known to influence engaging in healthy behaviors and effect subsequent health outcomes. There are several associated concepts e.g. perceived susceptibility among smokers to developing cancer. In this example the Health Belief model can be used to illustrate why some people are more successful at quitting smoking than others. A study is proposed by a nurse that works in an outpatient that uses the Health Belief model to reduce smoking for her patients. *You must include current references. Scoring rubric: 1.

APA 7 DOUBLE SPACED 5 REFERENCES INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION Assignment: Pharmacotherapy for Cardiovascular Disorders • …heart disease remains the No. 1 killer in America; nearly half of all Americans have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoke—some of the leading risk factors for heart disease… —Murphy et al., 2018 Despite the high mortality rates associated with cardiovascular disorders, improved treatment options do exist that can help address those risk factors that afflict the majority of the population today.   As an advanced practice nurse, it is your responsibility to recommend appropriate treatment options for patients with cardiovascular disorders. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug therapy, advanced practice nurses must consider aspects that might influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes such as medical history, other drugs currently prescribed, and individual patient factors. • Review the case study assigned by your Instructor for this Assignment. • Select one the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior factors. • Reflect on how the factor you selected might influence the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes. • Consider how changes in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy. • Think about how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes. Reflect on whether you would modify the current drug treatment or provide an alternative treatment option for the patient. CASE STUDY Patient HM has a history of atrial fibrillation and a transient ischemic attack (TIA). The patient has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and ischemic heart disease. Drugs currently prescribed include the following: • Warfarin 5 mg daily MWF and 2.5 mg daily T, TH, Sat, Sun • Aspirin 81 mg daily • Metformin 1000 mg PO bid • Glyburide 10 mg bid • Atenolol 100 mg PO daily • Motrin 200 mg 1–3 tablets every 6 hours as needed for pain During this week of Week 2, we will examine the impact of patient factors that may lead to changes in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes on patient drug therapy for cardiovascular disorders. We will also explore ways to improve drug therapy plans for cardiovascular disorders based on patient factors and overall health needs. The learning objectives are as listed below: • Analyze the influence of patient factors on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes • Analyze the impact of changes in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes on patient drug therapies • Evaluate drug therapy plans for cardiovascular disorders     Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: • Explain how the factor you selected might influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in the patient from the case study you were assigned. • Describe how changes in the processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy. Be specific and provide examples. • Explain how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan and explain why you would make these recommended improvements.

Discussions List  View Topic Settings  Help Discussion: Chi Square   Locked before Monday, July 13, 2020 12:00 AM PDT. Subscribe On examining the 2008 internal party election results in the great state of ABC, a Chi Square test for independence was conducted. The two variables of choice were: Candidate A (male) and Candidate B (male) , and Voters’ Gender: Females (n=2.6 million) / Males (n=2.5 million) The Chi Square was very high and statistically significant, which means that for some reason there was a strong gender preference for one of the candidates. This is the important part: If you were to be a hopeful 2012 candidate for your party, what could you LEARN and SAY about the 2008 voting results in State ABC? What could you not learn from it?

In two paragraphs, describe any public program that serves as a source to finance the U.S. healthcare system. Describe the specific policy and the program that occurred as a result of the public program and the intended target population. Application: Consider your readings on the challenges, debates and successes of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Using Figure 3, “How a bill becomes a law,” located in the Week 1 resources, and this weeks’ scholarly readings, select any area within the diagram to describe any issue(s) that may have occurred during or after the process of the ACA transforming from a bill to an actual law. For example, you can describe: ? How did “the people” influence the passage of this healthcare bill? (What evidence supports this?) ? Describe a specific state legislature that supported or opposed the bill? ? Describe the “Committee” in the legislative body who was responsible for reviewing the health care bills. ? Describe one debate or amendment to the ACA bill prior to its adoption into law. ? Were there any issues with the budgets associated with the ACA bill. ? Were there any public hearings during the Committee sessions? If so, provide a description. ? Describe any debates to overturn the ACA. Be sure to cite all sources in APA format. UMGC journal articles can also be used to support your discussion response this week.
