My teacher wants more accurate APA citations

Construct a 2- to 3-page paper in which you explore the political and civic engagement of a professional nursing organization. Provide clear connections to health equity and the impact of the organization.

In this weeks reflection, you will examine how bias and communication influence equitable care and ethical nursing practice. Building on your understanding of diversity, ethics, and the social determinants of health, you will explore how nurses can recognize bias, communicate with cultural humility, and uphold ethical principles to promote fairness, respect, and trust with patients and colleagues. You will consider how your growing awareness of bias shapes your interactions in healthcare settings and how culturally responsive communication supports equitable outcomes across diverse populations.

The Expert Clinician Topic Selected “Marfan Syndrome”

The purpose of this assignment is for you to delve deeper into a topic that we are covering this semester–becoming the expert clinician, if you will. Then as the expert, you will develop a one page resource page on your topic–current evidence based guideline, and fun/creative venues to learn about your topic–you audience being practicing NPs, and patients–across different settings of care.

Part One: worth 85% of the assignment grade

Create a one page resource document on the topic of your choice and upload it here.

Part Two [interactive component]: worth 15% of the assignment grade

Post your one page resource document to the Canvas discussion area entitled “Expert Clinician Window”. Your post is to be a NEW thread and then name the thread with your sirname and topic–such as Parker.FrozenShoulder

Then review the work of your classmates; choose 2 to critique and do so, posting them as new threads underneath the original post [do not just decide to create a thread that is not attached to a posted paper]

Then go back and post comments on any critiques you have received from class mates

Submission Instructions:

Select a topic of your choice–as soon as you can, no later than Sunday of week 5 [this discussion area will be open as early as week one of the course]

• Q2. The child returns at 12 months after completing her primary series of vaccines at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Her vaccines are right on schedule, her parents have no concerns, she is developing normally, and her exam is normal. What vaccines can she get today?
• Q3. Which groups of patients are at higher risk for pneumococcal disease and need PPSV23 early, starting at 2-years old?

A 25-year-old woman comes to your office asking for oral contraceptive refills. She stated that she was feeling depressed and heard about St. John’s wort used in depression, which she started taking a week ago.

• Q4. How might concomitant administration of St. John’s Wort affect the efficacy of drugs this patient is taking, such as oral contraceptives? Discuss another example of a possible drug interaction that might occur with St. John’s Wort.

The 25-year-old woman stated that her 4-year-old child had been coughing and sounded congested. She wants to know if echinacea might help her child.
