This disease fascinates me because I want to know more about leg pain and muscle weakness.(summarize if you must) Additional Guidelines Use clear headings, concise bullet points, and visual aids to support your explanation. Review your content for accuracy and completeness. Make sure your presentation or slideshow fits within the required time or slide limits. If You Are Creating a Presentation Prepare a 35 minute oral presentation. You will present your work in class on the date assigned by your instructor. If You Are Creating a Slideshow Create a 510 slide presentation using PowerPoint, Google Slides, or another approved tool. Make sure each required topic is covered clearly and concisely.

For this assignment you are tasked with developing a three-dimensional advocacy approach to provide nursing leadership for the healthcare or institute of higher education setting, professional, and community arenas aimed at overcoming implicit bias.

Structure the assignment as a presentation. You may use any presentation platform you prefer – PPT, Prezi, Powtoon, Beautiful.ai, Canva, etc.

Slide 1 Assignment Title, Your Name, Course Code, and Faculty Name

Slide 2 Provide a definition of implicit bias and discuss its impact on healthcare disparities and organizational culture. Include your in-text citation.

Slide 3 – Provide a brief overview that highlights the importance of a nursing leadership approach for addressing implicit bias in the healthcare/institute of higher education, professional, and community settings. Include your in-text citation.

Slide 4 Identify a specific area within the healthcare system or institute of higher education where implicit bias may manifest, such as in patient-healthcare professional interactions, clinical decision-making, healthcare policy development, and so on. Include your in-text citation.

Slide 5 Advocacy at the Healthcare Dimension: Outline a strategic advocacy approach of initiatives to mitigate implicit bias within healthcare institutions or institutes of higher education. Such initiatives could include training programs, cultural competence education, diversity recruitment efforts, or other initiatives you identify in the literature, etc. Define the outcome(s) you anticipate these initiatives will result in. Include an in-text citation for the resource that supports each identified initiative.

Slide 6 Identify key areas where implicit bias may affect professional practice, professional development, and leadership opportunities. Include your in-text citation.

Slide 7 Advocacy at the Professional Dimension: Propose advocacy strategies aimed at improving awareness, education, and accountability to combat implicit bias within the nursing profession.

Include an in-text citation for the resource that supports each identified strategy.

Slide 8 Identify instances where implicit bias may impact healthcare access, social determinants of health, and community relationships. Include your in-text citation.

Slide 9 Advocacy at the Community Dimension: From your nursing leadership lens develop a community focused advocacy plan that addresses implicit bias. Community level strategies could include development of community partnerships, community-based education programs, community policy or legislative initiatives, or other strategies you identify in the literature, etc. Define the outcome(s) you anticipate these strategies will result in. Include an in-text citation for the resource that supports each identified strategy.

Slide 10 Provide a brief reflection on the potential synergies and challenges of implementing an integrated nursing leadership approach across the different dimensions (settings) described. Include an in-text citation if appropriate.

Slide 11 Identify strategies for sustaining and evaluating the impact of your three-dimensional advocacy approach. Include an in-text citation if appropriate.

Slide 12 (and beyond) Include your reference citations consistent with 7th edition APA guidelines.

Note: Ensure that you maintain the principles of an effective presentation including, readability, text, and design. The notes section should be used to further explore your subject matter.

The discussion in this unit will focus primarily on the legal and ethical implications of telemedicine.

You are working at a multispecialty physicians office. Youve identified an issue with the delivery of care to patients who may not live near medical services. To address access to care you have identified the need for telehealth services. There are a number of factors to consider when preparing to deliver this new service. In your discussion post you will address:

What resources are necessary for your office to deliver this service?

Are there any barriers preventing your office from offering this service?

How will you educate patients about this new appt type?

Are there any health services not appropriate to offer via telemedicine?

What type of documentation is required when physicians are delivering this service to patients?

Concept maps are important tools in developing an understanding of certain concepts. There are many options when it comes to mapping out new concepts. However, the purpose is to connect new concepts and promote a graphical representation of information.

Before you complete your first Concept Map:

• Watch the video
• (8:30) see an example of a concept map being created.
• Review this
• as a model for your concept map assignment.
• Refer to this
• guide if you need additional support.

Instructions

Create a concept map using information from this case study:

M.S., a 72-year-old white woman, comes to your clinic for a complete physical examination. She has not been to a provider for 11 years because I don’t like doctors. Her only complaint today is pain in my upper back.

She describes the pain as sharp and knifelike. The pain began approximately three weeks ago when she was getting out of bed in the morning and hasn’t changed. M.S. rates her pain as 6 on a 0- to 10-point pain scale and says the pain decreases to 3 or 4 after taking a couple of ibuprofen. She denies recent falls or trauma.

M.S. admits she needs to quit smoking and start exercising but states, I don’t have the energy to exercise, and besides, I’ve always been thin. She has smoked one to two packs of cigarettes per day since she was 17 years old. Her last blood work was 11 years ago, and she can’t remember the results. She went through menopause at the age of 47 and has never taken hormone replacement therapy. The physical exam was unremarkable other than moderate tenderness to deep palpation over the spinous process at T7. No masses or tenderness to the tissue surrounded the tender spot. No visible masses, skin changes, or erythema were noted. Her neurologic exam is intact, and no muscle wasting is noted.

M.S. has never had an osteoporosis screening. She confides that her mother and grandmother were diagnosed with osteoporosis when they were in their early 50s.

Include answers to the following questions in your concept map:

• What is the priority concept of this scenario?
• Write a summary of the pathophysiology if appropriate.
• What assessment findings led you to identify this priority problem? Are there other concerns based on your assessment of M.S.?
• What is your priority problem?
• Based on your knowledge of the nursing process so far, what goals would you recommend in the plan of care for M.S?
• What interventions will help M.S. meet these goals?
• How would you evaluate your plan of care to determine the next steps?

Remember: This is your first attempt at creating a concept map using all phases of the nursing process. Focus on choices based on evidence and being able to support your decisions.

Concept Mapping Options:

These are available resources for completing your concept maps. You may use any of these options or any other concept mapping tools that you find. You are not required to use the same tool for the concept map in each module.

• Draw by hand and upload a picture
