The World Health Organization is an international health agency of the United Nations that has offices in the United States, Congo, Denmark, Egypt, India, and the Philippines (Nies & McEwen, 2019). Even though it is an organization that operates at an international level, maintaining health and wellness begins at the smallest level. The role of WHO is to direct and coordinate health efforts, set global health standards and guidelines, and help the public address public health concerns all within the United Nations system (Nies & McEwen, 2019). To keep things from reaching a global level, the WHO must make an impact locally. One of the roles of the WHO is to prevent emergencies and outbreaks while also responding to acute health emergencies (The World Health Organization, n.d.). In order to prevent outbreaks and acute health issues from growing into something reaching far and wide, the WHO must manage at the local level by providing the appropriate help, tools, and resources.

During this COVID crisis, there have been numerous hot spots in Florida within my community. Focusing on prevention, one of the greatest things we can do during the pandemic is to focus on the primary form. The WHO has helped to dispel rumors and misinformation about the vaccines, by providing scientifically backed information about the disease itself and the different vaccines. This allows people to make educated decisions on whether or not to get vaccinated. As more and more people get vaccinated, the numbers and ability to spread decreases.

According to the council of foreign relations (2021) Created in 1948, the WHO has a broad mandate to guide and coordinate international health policy. Its primary activities include developing partnerships with other global health initiatives, conducting research, setting norms, providing technical support, and monitoring health trends around the world. Today, the WHO monitors and coordinates activities concerning many health-related issues, including genetically modified foods, climate change, tobacco and drug use, and road safety. The WHO is also an arbiter of norms and best practices.

So by helping coordinate care, best practices and partnership with other global initiatives, it falls back to a local standpoint. It allows us to have local goals, local programs developed, it allows the local agencies to determine the needs and base it into the WHO recommendations.

I have seen the impact in my local community when COVID19 hit by observing the safety implementations, the local changes to public access, and the quick spread of information on infection control.

For this discussion, you will explore a current social health issue from an ethical, nursing perspective. Using your knowledge of the ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (ANACOE), examine the implementation of safe injection sites (or overdose prevention sites/services). Describe the provisions of the ANACOE that may be used to support and/or discourage the implementation of safe injection sites. How might the social policy of legalizing safe injection sites in the United States impact health care and the ethical role of the nurse?

Your initial post must be posted before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of two (2) references (other than those in required readings), in addition to examples from your personal experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it. Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes are allowed in the discussion board posts.

Based on the Hospital Application assignment, you have determined that a new professional development program needs to be created for existing employees.

The purpose of this assignment is to develop an expanded outline or blueprint for a new professional training and skill development program for existing employees and to explain how the program can be used to motivate and retain quality employees. Consider how the organization leverages workforce diversity to encourage employees to collaborate and apply their unique talents.

Continuing in the role of the hospital administrator from the Hospital Care Application assignment, you are required to create a blueprint or an expanded outline of the professional development program for the director of human resources (your supervisor). As a portion of this assignment, create an agenda for training that clearly states the topic being covered, the presenter, the location, and the time block in the overall agenda: a training schedule that includes the necessary preparation needed to provide the training (who, what, when, where, why, and how), as well as a description of the practice training activities and any media or handouts you will provide.

Additionally, using what you have learned from the assigned readings and your own research, expand the information presented in the training agenda with paragraphs that describe the following elements:

1. The focus of the program, which could include a combination of the following: learning new skills, additional certifications, licensure, and cross-training for other areas not usually assigned (as an introduction before the agenda).
2. Description of written materials, such as handouts, to be provided during the training (after the agenda).
3. A description of at least one computer-, Web-, or DVD-based training element that will be used in the program, including consideration of the idea that staff may have varying levels of technology readiness (after the agenda).
4. Explanation of how organizations leverage workforce diversity (team members with different skill sets or credentials) and describe the benefits of diverse knowledge, skills, and expertise among team members (as a conclusion).

Assignment

Review and analyze the following Mini-Case Study from the textbook (Nowicki, 2018):

Mr. Jones is an 87-year-old widower who lives alone. He was admitted to the hospital through the ER for shortness of breath and swollen ankles. After an extensive interview, the admitting physician discovered that Mr. Jones had been admitted two weeks earlier with the same symptoms and had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. After a four-day stay, Mr. Jones had been transferred to a skilled nursing facility, where he spent three days before being discharged home with a prescription for a diuretic to help reduce fluid buildup. The admitting physician discovered that no one at the hospital or the skilled nursing facility explained to Mr. Jones the importance of maintaining a low-sodium diet. Mr. Jones had attended a grandchild’s birthday and eaten several hotdogs before his latest symptoms appeared.

1. Who should be financially responsible for the costs related to Mr. Jones’s latest admission?
2. Should Medicare, or any insurer, pay for readmissions related to errors in discharge instructions?
3. Would it be different if Mr. Jones received instructions for a low-sodium diet but chose to ignore them?

• Conduct research and write an Annotated Bibliography using ten peer-reviewed journal articles that are no more than ten (10) years old, as it relates to the questions listed above, and use APA Manual (2020, p. 308). Use the textbook, NSU Library, and/or Google Scholar.
• Note the following:
  • Part 1: The GL should get group consensus on the final paper and send it to all group members. Each group member will submit the same assignment in Blackboard for grading. If you do not submit the paper in Blackboard, you will not receive a grade.
  • Part 2: The Alternate Group Leader (AGL) will then post the assignment in the “Class Discussion” tab. In the Subject Line, write “Group 1 Discussion 3.”
  • Part 3: Each group will review and analyze another group’s paper and write a brief analytical paragraph. Provide peer-reviewed references and the textbook to support your rationale. The AGL will post the review in the “Class Discussion” tab. In the Subject Line, write “Group 1: Analytical Peer Review of Group 2 Discussion 3.”

In many realms of medicine, objective diagnoses can be made: A clavicula is broken.  An infection is present. TSH levels meet the diagnostic criteria for hypothyroidism. Psychiatry, on the other hand, deals with psychological phenomena and behaviors. Can these, too, be “defined objectively and by scientific criteria (Gergen, 1985), or are they social constructions?” (Sadock et al., 2015).

Thanks to myriad advances during recent decades, we know that psychopathology is caused by many interacting factors. Theoretical and clinical contributions to the field have come from the neural sciences, genetics, psychology, and social-cultural sciences. How do these factors impact the expression, classification, diagnosis, and prevalence of psychopathology, and why might it be important for a nurse practitioner to take a multidimensional, integrative approach

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, considering the many interacting factors that contribute to the development of psychopathology.
• Consider how theoretical perspective on psychopathology impacts the work of the PMHNP.

Explain the biological (genetic and neuroscientific); psychological (behavioral and cognitive processes, emotional, developmental); and social, cultural, and interpersonal factors that influence the development of psychopathology
