Submit a paper which compares and contrasts two mental health theories: You may choose your theories from the textbook or from other sources. Describe each theory, including some history about the person who developed the theory and the major ideas and applications of the theory. Describe the ways in which the two theories are similar, and how they differ. Include a statement of how each theory could be used in your nursing practice. Include specific patient examples if you have them. You may also critique the theory: Is there anything with which you disagree or are there any problems you can identify? It is expected that this essay will be 2-3 pages in length (not including the title page), double-spaced. Your paper should include an introduction and conclusion and proper APA citations from any source material you use, including your text.

For Questions 1, 2, 3 address the issue in one page with substantiation.Question 1:  (33.33%) Consider potential patient use of micro-hospitals in view of behavioral economic theory using either the status qua bias or decision fatigue to determine if cost savings of these micro-hospitals will prove effective in controlling healthcare costs in the U.S.  Refer to Chapter 4 and the readings.Question 2:  (33.33%)If economic analysts believe managed care strategies offer the best hope for controlling U.S. health costs by changing what services are provided rather than changing consumer demand  (Rice & Unruh, p. 121), would changing the place of service, using micro-hospitals, be useful to address supply-side policies?Question 3:  (33.33%)If one of the main factors to determine healthcare labor demand is “healthcare delivery system design and financing (including efficiencies, reimbursement rates, and labor substitution),” how would the micro-hospital design impact healthcare labor demand? See Chapter 8

Recall that pay-for-performance programs seek to improve health care quality while lowering costs. In 2006, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a national survey instrument known as the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Services (HCAHPS) to allow patient care experiences to be analyzed at a national level, to increase incentives for hospitals to improve care, and to enhance accountability by increasing transparency of patient care quality. Research has shown that it is important to adjust the HCAHPS survey scores based on the type of procedure performed and presence of certain services, such as inpatient psychiatric care. Why might patients who experience longer hospital stays tend to give lower scores on the HCAHPS survey? What factors play a crucial role in patient satisfaction? What further research might be necessary to improve the HCAHPS survey? 1 Page with 1 or 2 sources

Chapter 1: A History of Health Care and Nursing 1.  Some nurses believe that Florence Nightingale holds nursing back and represents the negative and backward elements of nursing. This view cites as evidence that Nightingale supported the subordination of nurses to physicians, opposed registration of nurses, and did not see mental health nurses as part of the profession. After reading this chapter, what do you think? Is Nightingale relevant in the 21st century to the nursing profession? Why or why not? 2.  What do you think would be the response of such historical nursing leaders as ­Florence Nightingale, Lillian Wald, and Mary Breckinridge if they could see what the profession of nursing looks like today?

Complete your week 1 required discussion prompt. Discussion Prompt: This week, you learned that a healthcare worker will be exposed to a diverse population of individuals on a daily basis. While medical professionals must have the highest level of technical skill, they must also have the highest level of professionalism. That level of professionalism requires healthcare workers to be educated on different cultures, different religions, different sexual orientations, and different socioeconomic classes because those differences will change the type of care that the patient will require from the caregiver. For this prompt, you will each choose one culture, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic class from the following list: Muslim, Hispanic, Native American, Indian, Russian, Baptist, Catholic, Jewish, Jehovah’s Witness, Amish, Christian Scientist, Islamic, Buddhist, homosexual, transgender, low-income, middle class, or upper class. Please choose one that has not already been discussed by a classmate.  In your post, first educate your classmates on general knowledge of your category of patients. Next, discuss the specific beliefs of that category of individuals that a medical professional would need to know in order to provide proper care. Finally, discuss any specific actions that a medical professional can take to accommodate the beliefs of that category of individuals. Please chose MUSLIM as your topic. I have attached the chapters for this week discussion board for your reference. Use APA format 7th edtion. n use scholarly reference
