Discuss the role of the community health nurse in planning evidence based health education relevant to one knowledge deficit identified within Anne Giovanni’s case study in an effort to improve her health outcomes.

 

kailing joy is a 26 year old Italian catholic primary school teacher who reside with her grandmother. Joy’s mother is heavily involved in their Roman Catholic Church in East Brunswick and considers faith to be an important part of family life and values.Joy has had a boyfriend for two years who she sees weekly but otherwise spends most of her time with her girlfriends from church.
Joy has been referred to you by her GP for education after she had attended an appointment in tears, confused by the news that her best friend has been diagnosed with breast cancer, requiring a double mastectomy. Joy was under the impression that “only old women” can be diagnosed with breast cancer and is now afraid for her own health. Since hearing the news of her friend, Anne has heard all sorts of rumours about breast cancer. Anne has heard that because she has been wearing an underwire bra since a young age she is more likely to get breast cancer and her grandmother has said that because she hasnt had children yet she will probably get breast cancer when she is older.

*The purpose of this assessment it to demonstrate knowledge of health education by the community nurse and its role within the health promotion with peer reviewed articles 2008-2015.
* Identify relevant literature and other sources to explain health education and promotion to individual, families and carers as an essential role of the community health nurse.
*Suggest methods for increasing Annes health literacy, care plan for her knowledge deficit (how will you assess if she is ready to learn, how will you teach her, i.e cognitive age, environment & factors to inhibit her learning).
*Evidence to support health literacy leads to enhanced health outcomes.
*Highlight at least one area of health knowledge where Anne may have a deficit.
*Evidence based education and interventions that addresses the importance of cultural awareness in relation to Joy’s case study (herself and significant others).
*Each paragraph should commence with a topic sentence and end with a link to the next paragraph.

Grain Size Distribution

Topic: Grain Size Distribution
part B

this is assignment is Part B and it following for Part A. Please read it so you can know which service provider Gap is weak which will be addressed in Part B. Also, I upload excel sheet where grade put and you have to look at file.

your task in part B is to write about weak area or identify service provider Gap. you don’t have to look at all weak area of the business but you may choose 1 or 2 gaps and make you discussion.

In addition,
Use service mapping/blueprinting to visualise the service process and highlight how the identified provider gap impacts on the customer experience. Your map could be informed by you and/or your partner actually experiencing the service gap. Else undertake appropriate research to better understand these gaps and document the research process and key findings. Your map should indicate the different interactions within every ‘touchpoint’ you had during this process. Remember that such interactions occur in service systems, which include:
• physical and/or virtual evidences
• employees
• fellow customers

Based on your service map describe at least one (1) aspect/touchpoint/interaction you think is particularly important to be improved and justify why you think so. Your decision needs to be evidence-based, which means that you need to refer to appropriate service marketing concepts.

I will upload all slides soyou have a look and check that You might particularly incorporate the following concepts into your analysis:
• the specification of customer-defined service standards (Topic 5).
• the elements of the service offering including the servicescape and the roles of employees and customers (Topics 6 & 7).
• the alignment of background with front-line processes as well as the sequence of the service process (Topics 6 & 7).
• quality management and building customer relationships (Topics 4 & 9).
• capacity and demand issues (Topic 8).
• service culture and leadership (Topic 10).

Based on your critical analysis, make detailed recommendations. Finally, visualise your recommendations in a revised service map.

Below is structure of the assignment part B: and please put headings for each points and sub headings.

1. Executive summary
2. Visualisation of existing service process including identified provider gap
3. 3. Evaluation of ‘touchpoints’ including interactions with physical and/or virtual evidences, employees, and fellow customers.
4. Justification of particular service area to be improved.
5. Recommendations for service design or new service development.
6. Visualisation of existing service processes including the recommendations
7. References
8. Joint reflections (see page 3 of this document for more details)

Research Question Development Paper Development Paper

There are potential research studies everywhere. Anytime you care for patients, you may wonder if you are doing the best thing for them, if you are doing things the best way, or if there are other interventions that would work better for your patients. This assignment will help you identify potential research studies of interest to you.

Think about nursing skills that you have learned. Were you taught how to do the skills the way your instructors were taught, or were you taught how to do them because research has shown that patients have better outcomes when they are done that way? What questions do you have about the procedures or interventions?

Objectives
Students will:
1. Identify potential areas for research.
2. Link nursing practice to research questions.
3. Complete the first step of a literature review.

Assignment Guidelines
For this assignment, you will identify 1 question you have about aspects of your nursing practice. You will write them as research questions and interview other nurses to find out if they would be good research topics.

To prepare your paper:
Identify 1 question you have about nursing practice. Select an area of interest or that need additional study.
Consider the following example:
Another student worried about the effects of soaking the feet of diabetic patients during nail care. It seemed to him that soaking his patients’ feet dried them out even more, putting them at increased risk for infection.
Write research question.
3. To establish face validity approach 2 registered nurses who work in the area of your research inquiry. Ask each of the nurses the following:
Are they aware of any research in this area?
b. Would research on this topic be helpful to practice?

4. Using the feedback you received from the nurses you interviewede, revise your question.

When writing the Research Question Development Paper:
State the original question and briefly describe why you chose this topic.
Describe the nurses you interviewed. Do not give their names, but include their jobs and familiarity with research.
Summarize the feedback they gave you.
4. State the revised research questions. Identify the variables and the target population. You will utilize this question to complete your Literature Review and your Incorporating Evidence-Based Practice Project.

This is a copy of the discussion i posted on my topic of interest. Topic of interest is pain management in sickle cell disease

The area of evidence based practice of my interest is pain management in sickle cell disease patients. Sickle cell disease arises as a result of abnormal red cell mutation. According to evidence-based research, people who inherit two Hb S genes from their parents are more than likely to have sickle cell disease. Deoxygenated Hb S tends to deform the erythrocyte, morphing into an abnormal red cell shape known as sickle cell. Due to the abnormal shape of hemoglobin in sickle cell patients, circulation is often impaired. This blockade of blood flow normally leads to tissue ischemia and other co-morbidities manifesting in Sickle cell patients.

One of the major problems of sickle cell patients is pain which is mostly as a result of blood vessels being occluded. For most patients, the pain is often sporadic and it varies in frequency and severity. The pattern of pain, intensity and severity tends to vary over time for most patients which make management of pain a little complicated. Another major problem is the lack of objective pain index. In addition to the non-stable characteristic of pain, the mode of onsets and sites also varies among patients. For some, development of severe pain can occur within 10 minutes and resolve within a few hours; while in others, it can escalate over days. In addition to the above stated problems, self-medication and non-compliance also factors into why pain management in sickle cell patients is complicated.

Due to the fact that there is no objective pain index that can be used by care providers to assess patient’s pain, providers trust in the patient report as key to the management of sickle cell pain crises. Furthermore, Patient education on sickle cell disease and crises prevention is crucial to the effective management of pain in sickle cell. Patients should be encouraged to be active participant in their care and management of their disease process. In order to effectively manage pain in sickle cell patients, medication compliance and other management therapy should be well monitored by care provider.

Airlines Benchmarking

Based on their economic and financial performance (Within the context of the relevant geographic region).

For all the above 4 airlines need to calculate the following for the two most recent financial years (2012-2013 and 2013-2014):

a) Unit cost (per aircraft capacity)
b) Yield (per RPK and/or RTK)
c) Load Factor
d) Break even load factor
e) Employee productivity
f) Aircraft utilization
g) EBIT margin
h) Debt/equity Ratio
i) Current ratio
j) P/E ratio

Having made all the above-mentioned calculations, need to compare the airlines with each other and discuss why the first airline might or might not perform well (overall and per indicator (a-f)) in comparison to other airlines and to the region it mainly operates in. Please highlight if first airline or even all three of them are in any way special when compared to the average international (IATA) Passenger airline. Please also discuss briefly the limitations of your benchmarking approach and explain all steps that you have undertaken (Formulas, basis for calculations) during the benchmarking exercise.

PS: PLEASE USE ALL THE AIRLINE’S ANNUAL REPORT TO MAKE THE CALCULATIONS MENTIONED ABOVE
