Clinical-Community Engagement

Write a 3-4 page critical response paper on Clinical-Community Engagement in which you reflect on the readings, class discussions from the unit. You should incorporate your own personal experiences and/or observations, but they must be interwoven with ideas, excerpts, theories, references from the readings/focus groups. Your paper should NOT be a summary of the arguments, but critical response to 2-3 themes from the unit that most resonated with you.

The discussion should be about clinical community engagement and the importance of understanding the community hospitals and health care facilities are working with. Vulnerable communities have often lacked trust in large healthcare systems because of mistreatment.

Understanding that clinical community engagement should focus on the patient and not motives that hospitals think that the community needs. Community Health Workers are important because these workers are able to form a relationship with patients and often time can meet the needs of the patients.

I believe that hospitals can play a major role in stemming these inequities in health in vulnerable populations by understanding the needs of the community. Identifying that health is larger than a hospital visit or meeting with a physician but the identifying structural barriers to health like food insecurity, lack of insurance, access to hospitals.

White hospitals and Black communities must share power. The ideology driving the course is that health equity cannot be achieved without engagement between individuals and communities in the context of social determinants of health, and the researchers, policy-makers, and clinicians who work in those spaces.

Role and responsibilities of a nurse in reducing the risk of Coronavirus and pandemic infection

Role and responsibilities of a nurse in reducing the risk of Coronavirus and pandemic infection; The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War Two. Since its emergence in Asia late last year, the virus has spread to every continent. The tragic milestone of one million deaths, and the human family is suffering under an almost intolerable burden of loss.

  1. Define Corona Virus and its pandemic outbreak throughout the world.
  2. Explain the role and responsibilities of a nurse in reducing the risk of Corona infection in society?
  3. Explain how to manage those affected people by the virus mentioned about priority triage.

Briefly describe a crisis that occurred in your own life

Briefly describe a crisis that occurred in your own life. Who or what was most helpful to you during that time? Why? Consider your ability to work with people in crisis. What strengths and weaknesses (including your cultural and spiritual belief systems) do you possess that may enhance or interfere with your ability to work with people in crisis?

Personal philosophy of nursing

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that explains your personal philosophy of nursing. It should examine and identify your own perspective (definition) of the metaparadigm of nursing, person, health, and environment, as well as identify other concepts you believe should be a part of our metaparadigm. Additionally, your paper must:

  • Discuss how these concepts are interrelated in terms of how you understand and accomplish your work.
  • Include one or more examples from your work that captures the essence of your philosophy.
  • Explain what is important in your practice of nursing. Consider including your values, beliefs, and assumptions about nursing as a science and as an art. Answer this question from one of the following perspectives:
    • Pediatric nurses: What is your philosophy regarding the nursing care of children?
    • Hospice nurses: What is your philosophy regarding the care of people at the end of life?
    • Mental health nurses: What is your philosophy of mental health nursing?
  • Include a global view of nursing. Examples include your experience in practice and your particular area of practice.
  • This paper should be written in your own words but without any use of first person. It may be difficult to write about your personal philosophy, including personal examples, without using the first person. However, it will be good practice to write a scholarly paper in this manner. Consider using “The author believes…” or “One might expect…” instead.
  • No citations are required; however, if the writings or statements of others have influenced your philosophy, these can be included and should be properly cited.
  • The paper should be double spaced and formatted according to APA (American Psychological Association) standards.

Williams Syndrome

The assignment focuses on children who are growing up with Williams Syndrome. This is a little-known disorder that is in some ways the “opposite” of autism.  These children have highly developed language skills and are often very social, but they struggle with many other cognitive tasks.

First, watch the following video clip: (sorry-you have to watch a brief ad!)

Williams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF4DiqEdN3w

(try using Chrome for best viewing results)

Then, write down at least 3 things you found interesting from the clip (include some detail about each).

Next, find recent general information about Williams Syndrome by finding sources through Google.

In your own words, summarize at least 2 recent sources (each summary needs to be at least (more is good!) four full sentences -just to give you an idea of expectation- include some detail) about Williams and include the complete citation for the sources at the beginning of each summary. (So if you find a VERY brief source- that will not work for this assignment).

Now, connect the information you have learned about Williams Syndrome to something (can be a more general concept) from the textbook or PPs for CH. 3.  Give detail from the  PPs or text to make your connection clear.

Finally, tell me how things are going for you in the course so far (include any questions or concerns).
