Micro Mod 4 Discussion

Micro Mod 4 delves into the intricacies of market structures, focusing on monopolies, monopolistic competition, oligopolies, and perfect competition. Each structure presents unique characteristics impacting pricing, output, and profit maximization. Monopolies dominate the market, exhibiting high barriers to entry, allowing them to set prices without competitive pressures. Monopolistic competition features many firms with differentiated products, enabling some pricing power but with limited influence due to substitutes. Oligopolies involve a few dominant firms, fostering strategic interdependence where actions of one significantly affect others. Perfect competition, on the other hand, represents an idealized scenario with numerous small firms, identical products, and perfect information, resulting in price-taking behavior.

Discussion on Micro Mod 4 typically explores the real-world implications of these structures, examining market behaviors, efficiency, consumer welfare, and government interventions. Topics may include the impact of monopolies on innovation, the role of branding in monopolistic competition, the strategic behavior of firms in oligopolistic markets, and the allocative efficiency of perfect competition. Students may also analyze case studies, such as the tech industry’s landscape or regulatory efforts in various sectors. Understanding these market structures equips individuals to comprehend and navigate the complexities of real-world markets, aiding in decision-making processes for firms, policymakers, and consumers alike.

1st Discussion to respond to(Nurse Practitioner Perspective.)

Vivia’s PostIn the state of Illinois, the American Health Ranking 2017 reported some of the key health indicators, which are the uninsured rates among adults and children; poverty rate, mental illness and substance abuse; prevalence of disease in children and adults; drug death and premature deaths; prevalence of diseases and health risk factors such as diabetes, asthma and obesity. The annual report reviews also reported a low prevalence in mental illness; a decline in excessive drinking; a decline in the uninsured; drug deaths and premature deaths. Significant to these declines, data showed that there is a higher number of primary care physicians and dentist in Illinois. The problems with obesity, however has increased from 17% from 27.1% to now 31.6% in the past five years. Violent crimes have also increased from 15% from 380-436 offences per 100,000 population. Smoking was found to decrease in the past five years; 24% from 20.9 to 15.8% of adults; the uninsured decreased 54% from 14.8% to 6.8% of the population. Another problem is the high level of air pollution, which in part explain the high level of preventable hospitalization.

According to information provided by Medicare and Medicaid. Gov. there are limits to what is covered and what is not covered. People need private insurance and supplements to have sufficient health coverage. Medicare does not cover most dental care, long term care (custodial care); eye examination related to prescribing glasses; dentures, cosmetic surgery, acupuncture; hearing aids and routine foot care. Medicaid, on the other hand covers a broad level of health insurance coverage, which includes doctors’ visits, hospital expenses, nursing homes, home health care and long-term care costs.

Although the Affordable Act is in progress, everyone still cannot afford insurance, which is a direct burden on the health care of individuals. The cost of insurance remains high for many, and obesity, morbidity and premature mortality are some of the direct and indirect burden on health care. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2017) identified, for example, that obesity is a complex issue because it results from a combination of causes and factors such as behavior and genetics. Obesity is a serious burden because it is associated with poor mental health; reduced quality of life and one of the leading cause of death in the USA with other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer.

Statistics and estimates of the indicators does provide valuable information for policy makers, which allows them to monitor progress and make decisions about current health risks and problems in the public (Brownson, Chiriqui, and Stamatakis, 2009) This is evident through the US Department of Health and Human Service who initiated a national partnership that involves the federal government, the states, local communities and the private and public sectors to build ‘Healthy People’ 2020, which can impact these indicators (Pender, Murdough, and Parsons,2014).

2nd discussion to respond to:

Meagan’s post(Nurse Practitioner Perspective.)

Florida is a state with a unique population. A large percentage of its population is snow birds and retirees. Some of the strengths of this state include but are not limited to: low air pollution, low obesity rates, and low prevalence of cardiovascular related deaths (United Health Foundation, 2018). Some of the challenges of this state, again, include but are not limited to: a large number of the population being uninsured, an increased prevalence of physical inactivity, and a high level of incidence of salmonella (United Health Foundation, 2018).

I think one of the challenges of this population, not having insurance, has to do with their retirement status as well as a lack of awareness on how to access necessary resources. With Medicare not covering long-term care, hearing aids, dentures, etc. this is likely the root of many of the challenges of this area as well. The aforementioned likely play a predominant role in the lack of physical activity of this population.

Burdens of many of the health risk behaviors and disease are likely cost related. I think by the time people whom are uninsured go in to see a provider, their condition is much more progressed and severe than if they had been insured, feeling as if they could see a provider when the problem initially presented itself. With a lack of long term care coverage I think many people end up living in situations where they are simply getting by instead of thriving.

I think the information found on the America’s Health Rankings site is incredibly important to help guide health policy and the topics that are needing to be addressed.

Qualitative Research Evaluation

Qualitative Research Evaluation: Analysis, Critique, and Application

(Qualitative Research Evaluation)

Question description

I need the second half of my paper fixed I have to turn it in by tomorrow afternoon I will provide an article and the format it needs to be in and will provide the paper that was turned in PART B DID NOT PASS!!! Here are the instructions AND notes from the teacher:

B. Evaluate a primary qualitative research peer-reviewed journal article (suggested length of 3–5 pages) that has healthcare implications by doing the following:

1. Identify how the researcher addresses the five following areas of the selected journal article, using the attached “Evidence Table”:

• background or introduction

• review of the literature

• discussion of methodology

• data analysis

• researcher’s conclusion

2. Critique whether the evidence presented in each section of the journal article supports the researcher’s conclusion.

3. Explain the protection of human subjects and cultural considerations of the journal article.

4. Identify strengths and limitations of the study.

5. Describe how the evidence informs nursing practice.

C. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

Qualitative- and also subtypes- most often case study, others are grounded theory, phenomenology, and also descriptive subtypes.

Use the readings in module 3, chapter 6, to help you understand different methodologies researchers use.  Read your article as the researchers should tell you the methods they used to research their questions. Identifying research types and subtypes is a big concept.
Data Analysis

How did the researchers analyze the data collected?  Did they explain it enough for you to evaluate for external or internal validity? What statistical testing was used?  What analysis was discussed?  For quantitative studies examples include T-Test, ANOVA, Logistic Regression, Linear Regression, Chi-Square or descriptive statistics like frequencies, prevalence, and rates or incidence.  For qualitative studies the data is interviews or focus groups and the data is coded for themes and then analyzed based on the subtype.  If it is qualitative descriptive the sample is small and the subjective responses of the participants are usually reported without coding or analyses.
Conclusion

What are the conclusions of the researchers; do they make sense to you as a clinician?
A & B 2

Based on your analysis of the five areas in the table, assess whether the evidence presented in the research report supports the conclusion.

Begin by paraphrasing the author’s conclusion in a sentence; then, discuss how each of the first four sections of the research report described in the table (1 sentence each) supports the author’s conclusion (section 5).  Approximately 5 – 7 sentences total should be enough.

Hints:

Can these researchers make the conclusions that they made? Would anything else explain their results? Are there any other plausible explanations for their conclusions? Remember, you will want to justify your answer. Give a full paragraph on why or why not the evidence in the first four areas of the research paper supported the conclusion in section 5.

B 3

Identify the ethical principles that the researcher should have addressed prior to the study.  For example, what considerations should the researchers have addressed regarding informed consent, privacy, confidentiality, etc. for the specific subjects in the studies you chose to critique.  (1 – 2 paragraphs)

B 4

The strengths and limitations refer to the study design, not to the procedures or interventions being studied in the articles.  Consider things like sample size, level of research, quality of research, sampling strategy, and study design.  Also, consider what the author has stated in the last few sections of the research report regarding strengths and limitations.  (1 – 2 paragraphs)

B 5

Please discuss how the results of the study you selected impacts nursing practice.  (1 – 2 paragraphs)

Include a reference page and in-text citations where appropriate.

Assessing Sexual Function

Assessing Sexual Function: Tools and Reflections

(Assessing Sexual Function)

Assessing sexual function requires a multifaceted approach encompassing physical, psychological, and relational aspects. Several tools aid in this process, including standardized questionnaires like the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) for men and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) for women. These tools quantify various domains such as desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction, providing a structured framework for evaluation.

However, reflection is equally crucial in understanding sexual function. Clinicians must consider cultural, social, and individual factors influencing sexual health. Open-ended discussions allow patients to express concerns beyond the scope of standardized assessments, fostering a deeper understanding of their unique experiences.

Moreover, a holistic approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of sexual function with mental health, relationship dynamics, and overall well-being. Clinicians should be attuned to signs of distress or dysfunction that may not be captured by quantitative measures alone.

In conclusion, while tools like the IIEF and FSFI offer valuable insights, a comprehensive assessment of sexual function necessitates both quantitative evaluation and qualitative reflection, ensuring personalized care that addresses the diverse needs of individuals and their relationships.

I need a short paper written. I provided a description along with the Rubic and link for the website to review.  

“The FSFI is a brief questionnaire measure of sexual functioning in women. It was developed for the specific purpose of assessing domains of sexual functioning (e.g., sexual arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, pain) in clinical trials. It is not a measure of sexual experience, knowledge, attitudes, or interpersonal functioning in women. It was not designed for use as a diagnostic instrument and should not be used as a substitute for a complete sex history in clinical evaluation.”

  • Another assessment tool is used for men. Review the sexual function assessments provided. Feel free to take them yourselves and score according to directions. You do not have to share your scores but can incorporate your own personal reflections in your paper. After viewing the assessments, share thoughts and comments regarding use of the assessments in gathering information on sexual function. Do you feel the assessment was an appropriate tool? If so, why, and how could it be beneficial? If not, what were the drawbacks of the assessments?

Transforming Nursing Practice

Transforming Nursing Practice: IT and Patient Safety

Transforming Nursing Practice

Integrating Information Technology (IT) into nursing practice has become indispensable for enhancing patient safety. With electronic health records (EHRs), nurses can access comprehensive patient data promptly, aiding in informed decision-making. IT systems streamline communication among healthcare teams, reducing errors and ensuring timely interventions.

Moreover, IT facilitates medication administration through barcoding systems, minimizing medication errors. Automated alerts for potential drug interactions or allergies prompt nurses to take necessary precautions, preventing adverse events. Remote monitoring technologies enable continuous patient surveillance, allowing nurses to intervene promptly in critical situations.

Furthermore, IT empowers patients through access to health information portals and mobile applications, promoting self-management and adherence to treatment plans. Telehealth services expand access to care, particularly in remote areas, improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.

However, successful integration requires robust training and support systems to ensure nurses’ proficiency with IT tools. Moreover, safeguarding patient privacy and data security remains paramount.

In essence, leveraging IT in nursing practice enhances patient safety by facilitating efficient communication, accurate documentation, and proactive monitoring, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes.

Transforming Nursing Practice

1 Page, 3 References Discussion Due 7/29

The 1999 landmark study titled “To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System” highlighted the unacceptably high incidence of U.S. medical errors and put forth recommendations to improve patient safety. Since its publication, the recommendations in “To Err Is Human’ have guided significant changes in nursing practice in the United States.

In this Discussion, you will review these recommendations and consider the role of health information technology in helping address concerns presented in the report.

To prepare:

  • Review the summary of “To Err Is Human” presented in the Plawecki and Amrhein article found in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Consider the following statement:

“The most significant barrier to improving patient safety identified in “To Err Is Human” is a “lack of awareness of the extent to which errors occur daily in all health care settings and organizations (Wakefield, 2008).”

  • Review “The Quality Chasm Series: Implications for Nursing” focusing on Table 3: “Simple Rules for the 21st Century Health Care System.” Consider your current organization or one with which you are familiar. Reflect on one of the rules where the “current rule” is still in operation in the organization and consider another instance in which the organization has effectively transitioned to the new rule.Post your thoughts on how the development of information technology has helped address the concerns about patient safety raised in the “To Err Is Human” report. Summarize how informatics has assisted in improving health care safety in your organization and areas where growth is still needed.

Your work should clearly address the question; what is the family therapist most interested in when they are working in each of these models and how do they engage the family in the therapeutic process? Include cultural and ethical considerations that might arise in working with this family from these perspectives.
  • Conclude your paper with a 1 to 2-page summary that compares and contrasts both approaches along with a critical analysis of which model you feel would be most beneficial to this family; including the degree to which you believe these models are or are not strengths-based and sensitive to culture and trauma-informed principles of care.
  • Please use the Goldenberg text along with a minimum of 6 other academic sources to support your work. There are a number of excellent references listed in the Thomlison text, you are welcome to use some of these as long as you cite something beyond what is cited in Thomlison, you will need to retrieve a copy of the full articles to do this. You must appropriately cite all resources used in the paper and include a list of APA-style references at the end of your paper.
