    Writing Assignment Health promotion Topic Selection Week 2

    **Writing Assignment Health Problem Proposal**

    **Health Disparities**

    In recent decades, health promotion programs in the United States have substantially improved the health of residents. However, there is ongoing concern about health disparities, which occur most commonly in racial and ethnic minorities, people who do not have health insurance, and those who are poor and have less than a high school education. A recent report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2011a) emphasizes that there are considerable and persistent gaps between the healthiest and least healthy people. For example, many racial and ethnic groups have higher rates of the following conditions that are amenable to preventive interventions: obesity, diabetes, hypertension, HIV/AIDS, and cervical cancer. Another disparity in preventive services is the significantly lower rates of adult immunizations among non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics.

    **📘 Week 5 Assignment Content (What Your Paper Must Cover More in Depth)**

    **1. Scenario & Project Instructions**

    You are the new nurse manager on a
    **Heart Failure/Cardiac stepdown unit**.

    Let us consider the following for the quality improvement project:

    You are a new manager on your Heart Failure/Cardiac step-down unit and have high hopes for your floor.

    You are to identify 3 IT projects that you as the nurse manager of a nursing unit could develop to support the operations of the nursing floor to promote compliance with daily weights for your HF patients.

    There are multiple approaches to analyzing data. AI is the latest advance in machine learning approaches that include supervised, in which data is labeled and the algorithm is guided with statistical considerations, and unsupervised, in which unlabeled data is used to infer meaning. While robust, machine learning approaches require interdisciplinary teams and large resource dedication to complete.

    As you do your RCA analysis you realize that compliance to many of the issues causing experiences on your floor is due to the poor health data literacy within your nursing staff.

    Why is it important for nurse leaders to develop health data literacy? This question must be answered and supported by scholarly sources

    Data to support patient care comes from a variety of sources that contain differing data types- must be included in your final submission [in your outline you may summarize your findings]. Key activities to use clinical data include identifying the sources of data, understanding the data types and associated methods to work with the data, and identifying the necessary resources to complete your IT project.

    As you begin to form your team for your IT projects you question yourself as to who will comprise the team.

    Identifying and assembling an adequate project team is based on the needs of the project. At a minimum, you will need to include frontline staff that will use the product, a data analyst capable of completing the ETL process on the data, and potentially statisticians to conduct appropriate model building and outcomes analyses.

    Who are the various team members to consider adding to the team? Identify their roles and contributions to the project. Here you will name and describe their role and function in implementing your projects- be detailed in your paper.

    Finally all projects require review and potential revision over time. Follow-up and review of implemented programs should be included in the initial planning stages and resource allocation decisions at project inception.

    **2. IT Projects (3 total)**

    Identify
    **three IT projects** that could improve
    **daily weight compliance** for HF patients.

    Label them clearly:

    · IT Project 1: ______

    · IT Project 2: ______

    · IT Project 3: ______

    **3. Data Analysis & AI**

    Briefly explain:

    · Supervised vs. unsupervised machine learning

    · Why AI requires interdisciplinary teams and resources

    **4. Health Data Literacy**

    During your RCA, you discover poor
    **health data literacy** among staff.

    You must answer:

    ·
    **Why is health data literacy essential for nurse leaders?**

    · Support with scholarly sources.

    **5. Data Sources & Data Types**

    Your final paper must describe:

    · Different
    **sources of clinical data**

    · Different
    **data types**

    · How these data types are used

    · What resources are needed to complete your IT projects

    (For the outline, you may summarize these points.)

    **6. Project Team Members**

    Identify who should be on your IT project team, including:

    · Frontline staff

    · Data analyst (ETL processes)

    · Statistician (model building, outcomes analysis)

    · Any additional roles needed

    · Explain each member’s
    **role and contribution**.

    **7. FollowUp & Sustainability**

    All QI projects require:

    · Ongoing review

    · Revision over time

    · Planning for followup from the beginning

    Explain how you will monitor and sustain your projects.

    ***Each of these numbered sections make great level 1 APA headings for your paper- which are required at this level.

    **🎯 Why the Outline Matters**

    **📘 Week 5 Assignment Content (What Your Paper Must Cover More in Depth)**

    **1. Scenario & Project Instructions**

    You are the new nurse manager on a
    **Heart Failure/Cardiac stepdown unit**.

    Let us consider the following for the quality improvement project:

    You are a new manager on your Heart Failure/Cardiac step-down unit and have high hopes for your floor.

    You are to identify 3 IT projects that you as the nurse manager of a nursing unit could develop to support the operations of the nursing floor to promote compliance with daily weights for your HF patients.

    There are multiple approaches to analyzing data. AI is the latest advance in machine learning approaches that include supervised, in which data is labeled and the algorithm is guided with statistical considerations, and unsupervised, in which unlabeled data is used to infer meaning. While robust, machine learning approaches require interdisciplinary teams and large resource dedication to complete.

    As you do your RCA analysis you realize that compliance to many of the issues causing experiences on your floor is due to the poor health data literacy within your nursing staff.

    Why is it important for nurse leaders to develop health data literacy? This question must be answered and supported by scholarly sources

    Data to support patient care comes from a variety of sources that contain differing data types- must be included in your final submission [in your outline you may summarize your findings]. Key activities to use clinical data include identifying the sources of data, understanding the data types and associated methods to work with the data, and identifying the necessary resources to complete your IT project.

    As you begin to form your team for your IT projects you question yourself as to who will comprise the team.

    Identifying and assembling an adequate project team is based on the needs of the project. At a minimum, you will need to include frontline staff that will use the product, a data analyst capable of completing the ETL process on the data, and potentially statisticians to conduct appropriate model building and outcomes analyses.

    Who are the various team members to consider adding to the team? Identify their roles and contributions to the project. Here you will name and describe their role and function in implementing your projects- be detailed in your paper.

    Finally all projects require review and potential revision over time. Follow-up and review of implemented programs should be included in the initial planning stages and resource allocation decisions at project inception.

    **2. IT Projects (3 total)**

    Identify
    **three IT projects** that could improve
    **daily weight compliance** for HF patients.

    Label them clearly:

    · IT Project 1: ______

    · IT Project 2: ______

    · IT Project 3: ______

    **3. Data Analysis & AI**

    Briefly explain:

    · Supervised vs. unsupervised machine learning

    · Why AI requires interdisciplinary teams and resources

    **4. Health Data Literacy**

    During your RCA, you discover poor
    **health data literacy** among staff.

    You must answer:

    ·
    **Why is health data literacy essential for nurse leaders?**

    · Support with scholarly sources.

    **5. Data Sources & Data Types**

    Your final paper must describe:

    · Different
    **sources of clinical data**

    · Different
    **data types**

    · How these data types are used

    · What resources are needed to complete your IT projects

    (For the outline, you may summarize these points.)

    **6. Project Team Members**

    Identify who should be on your IT project team, including:

    · Frontline staff

    · Data analyst (ETL processes)

    · Statistician (model building, outcomes analysis)

    · Any additional roles needed

    · Explain each member’s
    **role and contribution**.

    **7. FollowUp & Sustainability**

    All QI projects require:

    · Ongoing review

    · Revision over time

    · Planning for followup from the beginning

    Explain how you will monitor and sustain your projects.

    ***Each of these numbered sections make great level 1 APA headings for your paper- which are required at this level.

    **🎯 Why the Outline Matters**

    Your outline:

    · Helps you organize your ideas early

    · Ensures you are covering all required sections

    · Allows you to receive feedback
    **before** the final paper is due

    · Counts toward your success on a paper worth
    **18% of your grade**

    "Sylvia: Based on this patient’s presentation, the most likely diagnosis is acute calculous cholecystitis, with concern for choledocholithiasis and possible ascending cholangitis (DynaMed, 2026). Her previous episodes of evening right upper quadrant and epigastric pain after heavy meals are consistent with biliary colic. However, this episode is more serious because the pain has lasted 24 hours and is now associated with fever, tachycardia, jaundice, nausea, vomiting, guarding, and rebound tenderness. Acute cholecystitis usually occurs when a gallstone obstructs the cystic duct, causing gallbladder inflammation, and it can progress to gangrene or perforation if not treated promptly (Jones et al., 2025). The jaundice is especially important because it suggests possible common bile duct obstruction, which increases the risk for ascending cholangitis (Bonomo et al., 2024).

    According to DynaMed (2026), other possible diagnoses should also be considered. Choledocholithiasis is possible because jaundice may indicate obstruction of the common bile duct. Ascending cholangitis is another important concern because the combination of fever, jaundice, and right upper quadrant pain is consistent with Charcot’s triad. Gallstone pancreatitis should be ruled out because epigastric pain with nausea and vomiting can occur when a stone obstructs the ampulla; therefore, a serum lipase is important (Bonomo et al., 2024). Biliary colic explains her prior post-meal episodes, but it is less likely to explain the current episode because the pain is persistent and associated with fever and jaundice (Bonomo et al., 2024).

    Diagnostic testing should begin with a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, liver function tests, total and direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lipase, serum lactate, blood cultures, a pregnancy test, coagulation studies, and a type and screen (Pagana et al., 2022). These tests help identify infection, biliary obstruction, pancreatitis, sepsis risk, pregnancy status, and readiness for possible procedures (Pagana et al., 2022). A right upper quadrant ultrasound should be ordered first because it is the preferred initial imaging test for suspected acute cholecystitis or cholangitis (Bonomo et al., 2024). Findings such as gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening, pericholecystic fluid, a sonographic Murphy sign, or common bile duct dilation would support the diagnosis. If ultrasound findings are unclear but suspicion remains high, a HIDA scan can help confirm cystic duct obstruction (Pagana et al., 2022). If labs or imaging suggest a common bile duct stone, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic ultrasound may be used for further evaluation (Bonomo et al., 2024).  Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is appropriate when there is a high suspicion of cholangitis or persistent obstruction because it can diagnose and treat the problem by decompressing the bile duct and removing stones (Buxbaum et al., 2019).

    According to Buxbaum et al. (2019), initial treatment should include hospital admission, NPO status, IV fluids, pain control, antiemetics, and broad-spectrum IV antibiotics that cover common enteric organisms. Surgical and gastroenterology consultations should be obtained early. For uncomplicated acute cholecystitis, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the same admission is generally preferred, ideally within the early treatment window when feasible (Mencarini et al., 2024). If cholangitis is confirmed, urgent biliary decompression with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography becomes a priority because antibiotics alone may not be enough when the duct remains obstructed (Bonomo et al., 2024).

    According to Mencarini et al. (2024), patient teaching should focus on explaining that gallstones likely caused blockage and inflammation, and that jaundice, fever, worsening pain, confusion, low blood pressure, or persistent vomiting require urgent care. I would teach the patient to remain NPO until cleared, expect IV fluids, antibiotics, and possible surgery or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and report increasing pain, chills, dark urine, pale stools, or worsening yellowing of the skin. After recovery or surgery, teaching should include gradual diet advancement, limiting high-fat meals if they trigger symptoms, wound care if surgery is performed, medication adherence, follow-up appointments, and when to seek emergency care. Because this patient is uncomfortable and acutely ill, education should be brief initially and then reinforced with her family when she is stable.

    Mary A

    Protection of human subjects is one of the many ethical responsibilities nurses have when participating in research activities or evidence-based practice. During my time taking Ethics and Human Subject Protection: A Comprehensive Introduction course, I learned more about past events leading to current research practices and why it is important to protect the rights, dignity, safety, and well-being of human research participants. I believe it is important that science should never come at the cost of human rights. Documents such as the Nuremberg Code, the Declaration of Helsinki, and Belmont Report have laid the ethical groundwork for research involving human subjects and how nurses can conduct investigations ethically and responsibly while keeping our patients at the center of our research.

    One key takeaway that I had from this course was the importance of respecting human subjects. I learned that this ethical principle acknowledges the autonomy of all human beings and provides extra protections for vulnerable populations. According to the Belmont Report (1979), humans have the right to make their own decisions about participating in research once they are provided with adequate information about the study’s purpose, procedures, risks, expected benefits, and available alternatives (paragraph 3). Informed consent is more than just asking someone to sign a document before participating in research. Informed consent is a process of communication between researchers and participants. Consent should be obtained in a manner where participants understand what the research is about and feel comfortable voluntarily participating in the study without pressure or undue influence. In addition, this concept will help me remember to provide extra protection when working with children, older adults with cognitive impairment, prisoners, people who are from low socioeconomic backgrounds, or other populations who may fall into vulnerable categories.

    My second key takeaway concept is the ethical principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence. This concept taught me that researchers have an ethical obligation to reduce the risk of harm and maximize potential benefits. I learned that every study should be carefully scrutinized before participants are enrolled to ensure that potential benefits outweigh any physical, psychological, social, legal, and financial risks. Investigators also have a responsibility to continuously monitor participants for safety throughout the study and take precautions to reduce unnecessary harm if possible. The World Medical Association (20 24) reminds us in the Declaration of Helsinki that “the well-being of the research participant must take precedence over the interests of science and society” (paragraph 32). This statement stood out to me because we are learning more about artificial intelligence, genomic medicine, and large-scale EHR databases being used for research purposes.

    Another lesson I learned throughout this course was the ethical principle of justice. Justice focuses on fairness during participant selection and equal distribution of research benefits and burden. In the past, populations were targeted to participate in research because of their easy access through hospitals, low socioeconomic status, institutionalized against their will, or inability to refuse. The Belmont Report teaches us that researchers have an ethical responsibility not to choose populations that will bear the risks of research while another population receives most of the benefits (National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, 1979). Fair recruitment of participants and access to research opportunities can help decrease health disparities and promote trust within the research community.

    Lastly, this course reminded me of the importance of institutional review boards (IRBs) and regulations that protect human subjects in research. Nurses should never conduct research without permission from an IRB. IRBs serve as a governing committee to review protocols before enrollment of research participants. Their duty is to ensure the research study follows ethical principles, federal regulations, and institutional policies. They assess the risks and benefits of research, informed consent documentation, confidentiality, and protection of vulnerable populations. Continuous monitoring of the research study can also help protect human subjects by identifying any unintended consequences or breach in protocol that should be reported to the IRB. Modifications and termination of studies can occur if there is increased risk to participants. These safeguards have helped build public trust in research.

    Why we still need ethical guidelines and review committees today was demonstrated throughout the course with historical documents. After World War II, many atrocities were exposed where humans were used in experiments without consent. The Nuremberg Code was created to protect human subjects involved in research by establishing voluntary informed consent as one of the requirements of research (Shuster, 20 22). Later, the World Medical Association created the Declaration of Helsinki to ensure physicians follow international ethical guidelines when performing medical research. This document is consistently being updated as medicine continues to advance. The Belmont Report embedded these ethical documents into set regulations that we follow today to protect human subjects.

    The concepts I learned throughout this class parallel the AACN Essentials (20 21). Ethical guidelines correlate with Essential 4: Scholarship for Nursing Practice by translating research into practice through scientific investigation and use of evidence-based resources to provide patient care. Essential 5 Quality and Safety states that DNP-prepared nurses are responsible for reducing harm to patients while improving the outcomes of care. Providing ethical patient care should reduce risks and follow professional standards of practice. Lastly, Essential 9: Professionalism emphasizes accountability, advocacy, and ethical guidelines when conducting research. Learning about human subject protection will help you be a DNPrepared nurse by incorporating ethics when protecting human subjects during research activities.

    In conclusion, I believe the ethical principles of research learned in this course will allow me to be a DNP leader that values human life. Ethics in research involved more than just following regulations and guidelines. There are many ethical principles that help protect human subjects including autonomy, informed consent, beneficence, justice, confidentiality, and continuous monitoring during every stage of research. We learned about historical events that should never happen again to the participants involved in the studies. As nurses move forward with research and innovating new ways to provide care my hope is that we never forget about our patients and continue to protect their rights and dignity by following ethical guidelines when serving our communities.

    "Jamie: For this week we are to discuss acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.  I wanted to choose two that have specific value to me.  For the acute condition, I chose shoulder dislocations as this is something we see quite often in my current job.  For the chronic condition, I chose something that I wanted to research more about as it is something that afflicts a few of my in-laws.

    **Acute Musculoskeletal Condition: Shoulder Dislocation**

    Shoulder dislocation happens when the humeral head is not sitting in the glenoid fossa.  Most shoulder dislocations are anterior and are a result from trauma (Ball et al., 2023). When the shoulder is reduced promptly, it helps to prevent the possibility of neurovascular injury and recurrent instability (Liechti et al., 2022).

    Common symptoms include the patient reporting sudden severe shoulder pain, the feeling that it “popped out”, inability to move affected arm, and in more severe cases it can cause numbness along with weakness which is indicative of nerve involvement (Ball et al., Liechti et al., 2022).  Previous history of instability and/or dislocation are the two biggest indicators of current dislocation (Ball et al., 2023).

    As previously discussed, trauma is the most common cause of shoulder dislocation but there are different types of trauma; Fall On Outstretched Hand (FOOSH), trauma from direct hit to involved shoulder, and wrestlers often have this type of injury because forceful over abduction, extension and rotation can cause dislocation of the shoulder joint (Ball et a l., Liechti et al., 2022).

    Upon assessment, objective findings include the inability to note the normal rounded shoulder appearance and that the patient holds the affected arm slightly abducted and externally rotated (Ball et al., 2023).  Sometimes, the humeral head is palpable anteriorly, but there is always markedly reduced range of motion to the affected side/extremity. Also, if there is neurovascular involvement, there can be a decreased capillary refill in the affected extremity as well as decreased distal pulses (Liechti et al., 2022).

    The diagnostic studies that are most commonly used are a shoulder or scapular AP view x-ray, but a CT scan can be used for more complex cases, or an MRI can be ordered post reduction especially if the dislocation is related to underlying medical conditions or concurrent soft tissue disorders such as Bankart lesions, Hill-Sachs lesions, or rotator cuff tears (Pagana et al., 2022). There is not one test that is pathognomonic for shoulder dislocation but visualization of the displacement of the humeral head via imaging is a clear indication of shoulder dislocation which could be a pathognomonic finding.

    **Chronic Musculoskeletal Condition: Rheumatoid Arthritis**

    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is studied during the musculoskeletal system despite it being an autoimmune disorder due to its destruction of the musculoskeletal system.  It is a chronic systemic disease without mechanism of injury that causes synovial inflammation resulting in progressive joint destruction, deformity, and ultimately disability if left untreated (Ball et al., 2023; Taylor, 2020). The patient often presents describing morning stiffness in their hands and/or wrists bilaterally that lasts longer than one hour with associated pain.  They also present with fatigue, generalized weakness, and later stages with difficulty performing ADLs (Ball et al., 2023; Taylor, 2020).  Upon assessment, there can be joint swelling, tenderness, decreased ROM, reduced grip strength, and in later disease Rheumatoid nodules, Swan-neck and boutonnière deformities are found due to the destruction of the joints.

    While there is not one pathognomonic test for RA, radiology results show joint space narrowing, periarticular osteopenia, and erosions combined with a positive anti-CCP lab value, which are highly specific when combined and support the diagnosis of RA (Ball et al., 2023; Pagana et al., 2022; Taylor, 2020). There are other diagnostic studies that are useful in diagnosing the disease as well and include a positive RF, elevated ESR, and elevated CRP, but these aren’t as specific as anti-CCP serum positivity (Pagana et al., 2022; Taylor, 2020). Also, if the plain film x-rays are not indicative of RA, but there is strong suspicion, an MRI can be used to detect early synovitis and erosive changes (Ball et al., 20223; Pagana et al., 2022).
