NUR 201 Course Analysis

I am of the opinion that one of the key elements of KIN 1000 course is to develop the socio-cultural understanding of the body and health and also it is about how beliefs, social and cultural forces shape our body. In addition, KIN 1000 course is also about how gender, race, age disability are being socially constructed and linked to power relations. Social construction is something that we as a society give form and meaning due to consensus that has reached in our interaction that we have with each other, the institutions that we go through like sport and our consumption of popular culture like media and advertisement. Social contructions have a real consequences. A case in point, is sport which is the social construction and the sexploitation

In my practice of Community Health Nursing, I have over 130 patients. Social determinants of health are something that I always take into consideration when I am developing a plan of care and service plan for these patients. I understand that Social Determinants are the circumstances that we born into, and develop in throughout out lives, including our jobs, and as we mature, it continues to affect us. These circumstances or situations also include our health care systems, and how they affect and contribute to our own

As previously described, the United States is the country that spends the most money in health care in the world. For example, just in the year 2008, it spent 16.2 percent of its gross domestic product on health- care (Gaydos 700). Through the population health model, investment and policy decisions in areas such as education, income transfer, civil rights, macroeconomics, employment, welfare, housing, and neighborhoods would have a significant effect on improving a population’s health than increasing the spending on medical services. (Jonas & Kovner 92). Through this model, there might not only be a decrease in what is spent by the country in health care services, but also an improvement in many other areas that would improve the economy of

The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, work, their age, live, raised, and the systems put in place to handle illness. These environments are in turn molded by a broader set of forces: politics, social policies and economic. A simple belief of public health is that everyone is obligated to health and the conditions that allow for health. However, health is not alike or fairly distributed.

I am responsible to the families by providing culturally sensitive care. Every family is unique in its own way, as a nurse I must respect what is important or meaningful to the family. Furthermore, I will try to identify the strengths of the family and beliefs of the family and will try to incorporate them into the plan of care. I will listen to their concerns attentively and in a non-judgemental way. I will also reflect on my personal beliefs and values.

The impact of evidence based practice (EBV) has reflected across the nursing practice, education and science. I have been able to acquire a better knowledge of how research relates to nursing practice, and how findings could be used to transform the field of nursing. As a nurse, I have been able to recognize shortcomings with element of practice, process and procedures. However, I lack a strong ability to create a strategy for change. From this class, I have been able to know the constituents of an evidence based project including a PICOT question.

The Affordable Care Act has shifted focus on health and wellness of patient populations urging hospitals to do a community needs assessment and come up with a strategy to address these needs. Hospitals most often partner with community and professional organizations to address the health need (Stempniak, 2014). This is an example of how the four spheres are all interrelated. Nurses are at the heart of this movement, providing the necessary skills, experience and expertise to address the needs of the population being served (Shamian,

If America does not make a concentrated effort to control childhood obesity, the American child will have a lifespan shorter than that of any previous generation (American Nurses Association, 2010). Nurses can take part in obesity prevention by educating, advocating, and collaborating with health promotion organizations. Nurses can take the initiative to teach parents, children, and the community about the effects of childhood obesity. They work to promote healthy eating habits and activity to obtain optimal health. School nurses play a vital role by implementing programs that require school faculty to be role models.

Introduction The three Health Promotion issues I have chosen to discuss are smoking, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet.

"The Nola Pender Health Promotion Model, 1996" is based on educating people on how to care for and lead a healthy life. This theory identifies in the individual cognitive-perceptual factors that are modified by the situational, personal and interpersonal characteristics, which results in the participation in behaviors conducive to health, when there is a pattern for action. She considers health as a high-level positive state, and takes it as a goal, towards which the person must strive to lead a healthy life.
