The Dynamic Role of Public Health: Disease Outbreak Impact 1.0 Introduction Public health is an important part of the larger concept of health systems. Public health is described as what the society does collectively to ensure there is the existence of conditions where people achieve health (Bryant, 2002). the primary purpose of public health is to improve health results for people through achieving goals of averting disease and the health consequences of environmental risks or man-made. From an epidemiology perspective, a disease epidemic is an abrupt increase in incidences of an illness in a specific period and place. In regards to disease outbreak, public health is responsible for reducing its impact through preparedness, research and pattern detection, and dissemination of information. 2.0 Body 2.1 Preparedness Public health has the responsibility of ensuring that it is well prepared through the development of a response plan and disaster recovery. Public health officials are required to develop satisfactory response plans. In the occasion of a disease outburst, public health specialists are mandated to develop proactive approaches that can be effectively implemented during…

Reflection 5 The article by Sander and Kroll (2012) has revealed to me many things that I did not know. I never thought that gay and lesbian individuals become self-aware at a tender age till I read the article of Sander and Kroll (2012). Besides, I did not have the idea that such persons often develop resilient adaptations to an initially socially oppressive world that makes some of them denounce that they are gays and lesbians publicly. Unfortunately, those adaptations are not strong enough to surpass the community view about them, and often some end up being killed for taking such stand. What I loved most is the revelation that while some parents may feel ashamed of being associated with children who are gay and lesbian, some proudly accept their children’s position. I also think that learning to accept individuals the way they are is one way of developing a harmonious community. That is why Sander and Kroll (2012) advice that “by taking a stance against oppression and standing with the developing ability of young people to knowing love, we…

Payday loans             Financial products constitute a crucial component of an economy. Every production process completes when the end-user consumes the product. Hence, financial products must be determined based on the outcome. America has a diverse range of payday loan providers such as Cashfairy.com, power cash, and kwik Kash. The products have seen a surge over 20 years they’ve been in existence. However, the capitalists behind the business have overemphasized on commercial sustainability and forgotten the consumer side. It has been challenging to balance the equation because the financial providers’ goals are entirely inconsistent with those of consumers. Lenders aspire to meet business cost obligations, and consumers need fair interest rates (Oliver, 2014). This has compromised the payday loan segment because the sustainable interest rates are expensive to consumers. For instance, payday loan firms in rapid city allege that the interest rate cap chosen by voters is unstainable. This led to a business closure outcome. Though the firms argue to be a relief to borrowers who need cash for emergency purposes, the borrower’s cost has been extremely high (Holland, 2016).…

Agenda and outcome The improvement presentation gives potential courses of action for physicians fraternity to ensure nurses and maintenance support are liable for faults and patient safety risk that emanate from delegated roles Assess the medical error case in Clarion Court Analyze outcome and quality improvement steps Envision opportunities for future improvement The audience will also take away insights on safety planning Safety improvement plan In the current case, a patient suffocated after inhaling argon gas. The physician had ordered the nurse to supply to treat the patient to oxygen gas. The maintenance personnel fixed the argon tank instead of an oxygen tank. There was no clear communication between the physician, the nurse, and the maintenance worker. Hence the nurse gave minimal attention to the fixing and subsequent connection for the patient to use (Dissanayaka et al., 2020). Given that the physician was working remotely from the main hospital, a communication gap erupted between the hospital and the nursing facility (Dissanayaka et al., 2020). The full delegation was the problem. Once the physician delegated the task to the nursing facility…

Nursing: Today And Beyond Nurses play a central role in medical institutions across the globe. Other than providing therapeutic services to patients, nurses fit in the leadership positions in hospitals. Initially, nursing began as a home-based activity where people offered car services to patients. Such people comprised of women that took care of the sick family members at home before the 1800s. Eventually, Florence Nightingale developed new approaches that could extend care services beyond the home. Some of the previous authorities, such as the British government, helped in strengthening nursing, especially during the period of the Crimean War. A few people volunteered to provide first aid services to the soldiers at their respective units. The new care approaches that Nightingale fashioned led to professional nursing that is carried out. Today, nurses across the globe have bodies that govern them. Some of those bodies include the American Nurses Association that looks at the affairs, recruitment, remuneration and other matters that pertain nurses. Hence, this paper has analytically outlined factors like challenges, concepts of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and finally, the…

Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities Most of the people diagnosed with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) usually experience difficulties communicating. People with PMLD may also suffer from mental health problems, complex health needs, and physical disabilities (Bellamy et al., 2010). As a result, people with PMLD may change their behaviour if they lack proper support. Adults and children with profound and learning disabilities are not different from other people, and they deserve to be treated with dignity. Most of the times, people with PMLD are denied their rights and are considered to be an outcast in society. Since we cannot change the nature of people with PMLD, then it is crucial for everybody to respect and focus on their needs. Communication is one of the requirements that people with PMLD require. Most people with PMLD mainly depend on behaviour, facial expressions, vocal sounds, and body language to communicate. Some people with PMLD may depend on others to interpret their reactions to facilitate their communication. Children and adults suffering from PMLD require high-level support from carers, close family members and…

Nursing   “What business principles are associated with patient and system cost?” All organizations, regardless of their form or size tend to have certain basic principles to succeed. In the health sector, Greg fisher’s principles also tend to be vital towards effective management of business operations (Fisher, 2008). As a nursing director, I note that these principles are relevant in the running of daily care operations, in particular, in determining what to do and what to not, who to serve, and most importantly how to manage cash flow closely. These three principles tend to form the basis of all healthcare decisions. Most health leaders often rely on these principles while making deciding on how they should use resources effectively, the customers they should serve, and how cashflows within the healthcare should be managed. In my place of work, these principles are always used as part of guiding policies. As a nursing director, my functions always center around health care service management. That is, my responsibilities always involve overseeing patients care and nursing personnel as well as performing administrative functions such…

vaccination of three disease’s measles, mumps, and rubella(MMR) Unprofessional Conduct This essay paper discusses the conflict of interest in regards to the case study of an American vaccination of three disease’s measles, mumps, and rubella(MMR). There were several issues regarding Wakefield’s investigation in determining the complaints received from parents due to a lack of transparency and sustainable ethics from the General Medical Council. Question 1 The conflict of interest is that the General Medical Council (GMC) ruling was based not on the conclusions he made. The way those conclusions were reached, the lancet in response to GMC erased all the details from the public record and damaging Wakefield’s reputation since GMC claimed that several children in the case study did not have inflammatory bowel disease. Question 2 According to the newspaper, Wakefield did not disclose where he received funds to conduct the case study. Wakefield’s disclosure of this information could have helped clarify that he got first-hand knowledge from the affected persons. Parents and children have the evidence; hence the information given is credible. On the other hand, his investigation…
