Nursing

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided? You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures. Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve. In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country. To Prepare: Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment. Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment. Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected. Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources. The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change) Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following: Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study. Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy. Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples. Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected. Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country. Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples. Part 2: A Plan for Social Change Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader. In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader. Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader. Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

Objective Illustrate interpersonal skills necessary to develop a collaborative interdisciplinary team Discussion Overview In this discussion forum, you will consider interpersonal skills that are necessary to resolve a difficult situation in which conflict arises among members of the interdisciplinary team. Deliverables Your participation in the discussion forum, including the following: A response to the initial questions below Responses to at least two other students’ posts Step 1 Read the case scenario. You are the leader of an interprofessional team who is reviewing a chest tube care protocol to determine if evidence-based best practices are being followed. As you meet with the group for the first time, you provide opportunities for group members to get to know each other. In this meeting, you also set out to determine the goals of the project and assign roles and responsibilities of each member of the team. As the group is discussing who will be responsible for each of the tasks, Joel responds in a curt manner that he feels that he would do a better job with the task assigned to Mary than she would be able to do. Using a calm tone, Mary provides an explanation of her capabilities to perform the task effectively, given her experience with this task on another project. You agree with the decision to have Mary perform the task. Joel seems to be agitated by the decision, and he throws his hands up in the air, gets up from his seat, and leaves the room. You follow him out into the hall and ask him to calm down and come back in to the room to share his frustrations and concerns. Step 2 Post a response to the discussion board. In your response, address the following questions: Which interpersonal skills are necessary for you to use in this situation? How would the skills that you identified be beneficial in helping to resolve the conflict that is occurring? Consider the interpersonal skills that were lacking on Joel’ s part. What are they? What could Joel have done differently to avoid creating this conflict? Describe a personal experience in which you needed to use interpersonal skills to assist in a difficult situation. What were the circumstances of the situation? What interpersonal skills were utilized to resolve the problem?

Write a 3-5 page blog post titled “Conflict and Power” that explains how individual perceptions of power can create conflict situations between law enforcement and members of a community. Use the relational theory of power to explain how perceptions affect the ability to resolve conflict. Then, identify a conflict resolution strategy and predict the outcome. Introduction Power plays a role in most conflicts. According to Coleman, Deutsch, and Marcus (2014), power can be understood by looking at its relationship to a situation and how that power is used. It is important to consider the role that each person in a conflict situation plays and that person’s place in the power hierarchy. Also, consider culture, as it can influence the way people react to power inequalities. Understanding these differences is key when trying to understand the dynamics of conflict and formulate strategies for conflict resolution. Reference Coleman, P., Deutsch, M., & Marcus, E. C. (Eds.). (2014). The handbook of conflict resolution: Theory and practice (3rd ed.). San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

Competency 4: Analyze the impact of conflict on relationship building in face-to-face, virtual, cyber, and group communication. Explain how perceptions of power contribute to conflict situations.

Instructions Complete the following: Describe the factors or conditions that contribute to conflict situations between law enforcement and citizens. Explain how perceptions of power may contribute to conflict situations between law enforcement and members of a community.
