Nursing

Choosing a Leadership Style (Marquis & Huston, 2012) scenario: You are a team leader with one licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) and one nursing assistant on your team. You also share the unit clerical person with two other team leaders and the charge nurse. You have found the LPN/LVN to be a seasoned team member and very reliable. The nursing assistant is young and very new and seems a bit disorganized but is a very willing team member. At various times, you will be directing these three individuals during your workday, that is, asking them to do things, supervising their work, and so on. ASSIGNMENT: What leadership style (authoritative, democratic, or laissez-faire) should you use with each person or would it be the same with all three? Would you be justified in using only one leadership style? If an emergency occurred, would your leadership style change or remain the same?

Peer response: Length: A minimum of 150 words per post, not including references Citations: At least one high-level scholarly reference in APA per post from within the last 5 years Peer Post: While the country institutes measure to deal with the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, states continue to put measures in place to deal with the ongoing opioid crisis. The state of Arizona has instituted policies that focus on prevention and early interventions and increasing the access to substance use disorders, putting in place measures aimed at reducing stigma and protect individuals who inject drugs (PWID) from infectious diseases (Odenigbo, 2015). The State of Arizona is also looking at means to explore innovative payment models for treatment. Increasing public access to substance abuse through medication-assisted treatment, commonly referred to as MAT, can significantly lower infectious diseases through minimizing or doing away with an individual’s use of injection drugs. The State of Arizona has increased the coverage of medication-assisted treatment and other SUD treatment through private insurance and Medicaid and increased the percentage of individuals who use the medications. The state of Arizona, as part of its measures instituted the Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Education Agenda Act 262 in 2018 (Odenigbo, 2015). The opioid treatment also increases the State treatment capabilities by building more health facilities to handle the opioid treatment. The Act requires health facilities to report the number of individuals treated and the treatment outcomes. As a health care advocate at a local level, I would contact the National Conference of Legislature (NCSL) to help me get in touch with the office of State governor Doug Ducey detailing the impact Substance Abuse Disease on the State populace, and call for a face to face meeting to discuss the enactment of SUD control legislations, request to attend and speak at health conventions, and call for financial backing from the State office to promote SUD implications awareness (A Alhassan, 2017).   References A Alhassan, A.
