What does it take to be an effective health advocate? As a nurse, you have many opportunities to advocate for patients and populations, whether formally or informally. Being an advocate involves more than knowing how to lobby or to whom to write letters. It requires passion and compassion, commitment and courage.
In this Discussion, you will consider the attributes of an effective advocate for population health and/or the nursing profession. You will analyze those attributes that help nurses be a powerful force in improving the quality of health care and in this case especially, the needs of returning veterans and their families.
To prepare:
Review the article “On Being a Good Nurse: Reflections on the Past and Preparing for the Future†and “War, its aftermath, and U.S. health policy: Toward a comprehensive health program for America’s military personnel, veterans, and their families†found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider the multiple health care needs of returning veterans and their families.
BY DAY 3
Post two types of health needs returning veterans and their families might need. How might you advocate for the needs of this population. What type of advocacy skills would you need and how could you develop them. What responsibility does a nurse have to be an advocate? Give specific examples.
Week 8: Advocacy
Nursing has a rich history of advocacy beginning with Florence Nightingale. Nightingale often advocated for better hospital conditions, especially with regard to sanitation, hygiene, hospital management, and planning. In the latter half of her life, she campaigned for health reform and policies to improve quality of care. Her efforts stand as an exemplar for nurses advocating for better standards, health care reform, and policy.
This rich tradition continues. Consider the following quote from Isabel Maitland Stewart on the role of nurses as leaders and advocates:
It is evident . . . that leadership in nursing . . . is of supreme importance at this time. Nursing has faced many critical situations in its long history, but probably none more critical than the situation it is now in, and none in which the possibilities, both of serious loss and of substantial advance, are greater. What the outcome will be depends in large measure on the kind of leadership the nursing profession can give in planning for the future and in solving stubborn and perplexing problems. . . if past experience is any criterion, little constructive action will be taken without intelligent and courageous leadership.
This quote was made over 50 years ago as Stewart assessed the field of nursing following World War II. Reflect on the field of nursing from the time of Florence Nightingale to Isabel Stewart, to current circumstances. How have things progressed? How have they remained the same?
Last week, you examined the far-reaching implications of creating policy; however, without sufficient advocacy, proposed policy is often not successfully implemented. This week, you will evaluate how nurses can prepare themselves to fulfill the role of health advocate in furthering policies that improve the quality of and access to health care. You will also begin to develop a health advocacy campaign.

1.In Week 1 you identified a process collected 10 to 30 consecutive data points. All of the data should have been collected under essentially the same conditions. The differences between the values should be expected to represent nothing more than random variation. (If during the data collection, you observed a significant change in values due to a possible change in conditions, don’t reject the data points; simply make a note of it and include this information in your commentary.) You collected and recorded the consecutive data points into a single column in a Minitab Worksheet. You saved the file as a Minitab project using the menu bar at the top: File>Save Project As>file name. The file name will automatically be given the .mpj suffix.
2.Now is the Week 2 assignment. Create a graphical summary of the data as follows: Stat>Basic Statistics>Graphical Summary. This will open the Graphical Summary window. Double click on your data column in the left pane and this will select your data and place it into the Variables pane. (Click on Help to learn much more about this function.) Click on OK. The results should look as follows:
3.Write a short commentary on Graphical Summary results. Pay particular attention to the histogram, mean, standard deviation and outliers. Describe how the histogram and statistics relate to the process from which the data were collected.
Please submit your assignment in report form as a Word document, as if submitting to management or a client. Cut and paste pertinent Minitab graphs and analysis. Attach the Minitab file as a supporting document.
If you have any problems concerning Minitab, please post the question in the Study Hall Forum. The instructor will monitor this forum but a fellow student may respond even more quickly. Feel free to work together to figure out Minitab, but I think that you will find it to be very user friendly.

Directions: Answer the following questions/prompts about this week’s lesson in short essay format (1-2 paragraphs), 300 word minimum. All answers should be your own work and in your own words.
Briefly describe Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection. What was Gregory Mendel’s contribution to the fields of genetics and evolutionary theory? How does what we know today about genes fit into Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection? The concept of ‘designer babies,’ where the DNA of an embryo is manipulated in order to produce an offspring with particular characteristics, has long been a controversial one. Using what you have learned about evolution and genetics, do you think that this (hypothetical) practice will be harmful or helpful to the continued survival of the human species?
10-1 Final Project: Financial Analysis – due Sunday 7/8 – [250 pts]
The premise of the Final Project is that you are running a fictitious company that is operating marginally. (Coffee Connection) You will use Starbuck’s financials and analysis (what you have already completed in the three prior projects) and use this data as a benchmark in order to recommend improvements to your company (Coffee Connection) by analyzing Starbuck’s performance.
Introduction: Provide a professional introduction explaining the purpose of your analysis (of the above) to your executive
Horizontal & Vertical Analysis: (completed in MODULE 4)
Ratio Analysis: (completed in MODULE 6)
Rules of Financial Reporting: (completed in MODULE 8)
Conclusion: Provide a professional conclusion to your executive detailing the findings of your analysis. What can you learn from Starbucks’ financial statements and performance about determining the overall health of companies? Include general suggestions for financial improvements.
Out of the five required sections, three have been completed in prior projects throughout the class. You will need to integrate these three into the final paper and add the Introduction and Conclusion. It is not necessary to create another set of fictitious financials for Coffee Connection, only recommend improvements to the company based on Starbucks financials (that we have already analyzed in the three projects).

Over the past decade, cases of substance related disorders have appeared more prevalent in society. From the mental health perspective, research has shown an increase in cases of substance related disorders, particularly with adolescents. This increase has prompted further investigation into adolescent risk and resilience factors, as well as accuracy in diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans. Yet, in cases of adolescent substance use, further investigation is still needed concerning notification rights of parents, legal authorities, and/or case workers.
For this Application, review the client case study and additional learning resources. Consider the characteristics of the client. Which specific characteristics might you consider important in developing a diagnosis? Consider your rationale for assigning particular diagnoses on the basis of the DSM-5. Also, think about what other information or people you may need to include in the assessment in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
The Assignment (3–4 pages)
A DSM-5 diagnosis of the client in the case study
An explanation of your rationale for assigning the diagnosis on the basis of the DSM-5
An explanation of what other information you might need about the client to make an accurate diagnosis
A brief description of additional individuals you might include in your assessment and explain why
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to current literature.
3-4 Pages. APA Format. In-text Citations to Support Literature. Minimum of 5 References.
