Description
African nations tend not to have lower health outcomes, experiencing epidemics of infectious and non-communicable diseases across the continent. There is substantial health inequality among and within many nations in Africa. Similar disparities in health also exist in Latin America. Cuba, Costa Rica, and Chile have health outcomes comparable to the United States, while Haiti’s health outcomes are comparable to the less healthy parts of Africa.Income Inequality Discussion Essay
A variety of arguments can be made for the reasons why there is great health inequity in these regions. Some relate to the different colonial histories since health is transmitted inter-generationally. Colonization, neoliberal globalization, including free market, free trade, and the unrestricted flow of capital with little government influence, has resulted in large wealth inequalities. Some countries have cut their government spending on health programs, which has led to devastating health outcomes.[Order Now]
For this Discussion, examine countries and their health problems.
To prepare for this Discussion, review Week 10 and Week 11 Learning Resources. Select two countries with different per-capita income levels such that one could be classified as a “high income” nation and the other would not be classified in the same income category. Note: You may use The World Bank website in your Learning Resources to identify countries and their income levels.
BY DAY 4
Post a brief summary comparing the two countries and their health problems. Also, compare how the economic level and income inequality in each country influenced other social determinants (social dynamics, the status of women, education, or violence/homicide, etc.) for each country. Then, explain the impact of the determinants on the health outcome in each country. Expand on your insights utilizing the Learning Resources.
Postoperative Care and Stroke Assessment
NUR 2755 Clinical Simulation Prepwork
Day 1
Directions: Complete the following questions utilizing your textbook for the course and any other necessary outside resources. Sources need to be cited using APA (7th Edition) format.
Part I. Post-Surgical Care
List 8-10 nursing assessments that are often performed in the postoperative period.[Order Now]
List 3 nursing diagnosis relevant to the postoperative period, in order of priority, using full format (“r/t”, “s/t”, “aed”, etc.).
List 6 goals for the postoperative period using the SMART goal format.
What is a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)?
A CVA results in brain damage secondary to decreased delivery to the brain.
There are three cerebral arteries that branch from the carotid arteries (internal and external). What are they and to which area of the brain do they supply blood?
When a patient is suspected to have suffered a stroke, what are the initial steps of care? (Procedures, imaging studies, labs, medications, etc.)
Compare and contrast the two major classifications of stroke. (What is the cause of neurological deficits in each? Who is primarily at risk for each type of stroke?
Atrial fibrillation is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Why?
What is the goal systolic blood pressure (SBP) following a stroke? Why?
If an ischemic stroke is suspected, tPA (Alteplase) should be given within _________________ (hours/minutes).
In a patient diagnosed with ischemic stroke, what are some contraindications to giving tPA (Alteplase)?
When looking at the prognosis of the two major types of stroke, which tends to be worse?
Ischemic
Hemorrhagic
