APA format -Please use simple words -Please write a substantial well thought out reply to this peer’s discussion below: How might an advanced practice professional nurse or those engaged in advanced nursing practice effect change in practice and policy to address disparities (ethnicity, gender, racial, mental health or others)? Address this question from the perspective of your specific concentrations lens. What community health issues will you address? It is an unfortunate fact that health disparities have a great impact on the health of minority populations. This is especially prevalent in latino/hispanic patients with diabetes. Diabetes is an epidemic among all ethnic backgrounds in the United States, but certain minorites have been found to have much larger prevalence then others. According to the American Diabetes Association (2017), Hispanics/Latinos are 70% more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes then non-hispanic caucasians, and have a higher risk for complications such as kidney failure and heart disease. Spanakis and Golden (2013), stated that although the CDC estimates that 11.8% of Hispanic Americans are diagnosed with diabetes, the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos raised that estimated prevalence to 16.7% in men and 17.2% in women. They also stated that Hispanic/Latinos are 1.5 times more likely die from diabetes (Spanakis & Golden, 2013). Considering that Hispanic/Latino Americans are the largest ethnic minority in the United States, these percentages represent a large and growing problem that needs to be addressed. These discrepancies are due to a variety of factors including biological, behavorial, social, environmental, socioeconomic, language barriers, and health care system problems. Although some contributing factors, such as biologic or genetic, are difficult to change, most studies agreed that a focused community centered approach could help mitigate many of the problems. The first steps to implementing any changes are always participation and education. To increase the amount of the Hispanic/Latino population receiving the neccesary education, the solution is to bring it to them in their commmunities. One article by King, Fleck, Estrella, and Reitz (2013), discusses the implementation of a community based diabetes self-management program by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The program, called Every Diabetic counts, was meant to recruit providers and medicare participants, increase ordering and taking of tests, provide self-management education, and improve outcomes (King et al., 2013). The programs were community based and administered by community healthcare workers and physicians (King et al., 2013). The program was overall pretty successful, but ran into time and funding based barriers, and required a copay that could be prohibitive (King et al., 2013). Another study more specific to the Hispanic/Latino population was conducted by Castillo et al. (2010), and was another community based education plan. The program had community health care workers recruit Hispanic/Latino with type 2 diabetes and provided them with 2-hour classes over 10 weeks (Castillo et al. 2010). The results showed improvements in A1C levels, systolic blood pressure, diabetes knowledged, physical activity, diet, glucose monitoring, and medication adherence (Castillo et al. 2010). The key was bringing the education to non-clinical locations in their community, tailoring care to the individuals, and training spanishing speaking community healthcare workers to administer the education (Castillo et al. 2010). As a primary care provider, I can become part of this change in several ways both in my practice and my community. One is employing translations services through staff or translation lines to help break down communication barriers. Secondly I can provide nutritional consults for patients to tailor dietary plans to each individual. This can be accomplished through the PCP (myself), a staff nutritionist, or a referral depending on insurance and needs of the patient. Make sure my patients will be able to get the medications I am prescribing and understand the proper medication administration. I can also provide handouts with diabetes education and a list of community resources for my patients to reinforce the education I am giving them. By individualizing the care of all of my patients, hopefully I can help overcome some of the barriers to healthy outcomes. On a community level, I can become an active particpant in community diabetes education programs and advocate for continued research and policy changes. It is through the growth of participation and support for these programs, both by research and policy, that the health discrepancies in Hispanic/Latino diabetics can be decreased.

The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest. Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project. The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study). Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem. Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts. Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources: 1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search. 2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section. 3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative. To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. Only requiring the writer to select 6 articles and list them. So I will need 6 references for those articles. This is not an essay or any other paper, just simply selection of articles.

Case Study
SM is a 32 year old female that has come to see you for a diagnostic psychiatric evaluation due to a long history of depression. She has begun to see the signs that she has seen in the past when her depression is starting up again. She is sad for no apparent reason, cries easily, has little interest in her hobbies, finds it difficult to get up and going, and sometimes isn’t even enjoying playing with her son. This has never happened before. She wants to treat this before it gets any worse like it has in the past. SM is not on any current medication and has not been for about 5 years. She is married and she has stated that she and her husband are trying to add to the family.
After an extensive interview it was found that SM was a nurse working in a step down unit in the local hospital. She works 3 – 12 hours shifts a week usually. She has a 33 year old husband of 9 years and 1 boy aged 2 1/2 years. SM stated that her husband is working part time while he is finishing up his master’s degree. He will be done in August and they would like to have another child once he is finished with school. She stated that she felt that she was tired of waiting to have another child since she had some fertility problems with the first one and she is worried about how long it will take her to get pregnant again. She reports that she breast fed her son and plans to breast feed the next child. She had a physical by her PCP and she currently has no medical problems. She has a history of PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and she is overweight. SM stated she has experienced some bouts with depression in the past and has been put on a medication but she doesn’t remember what the name of it was. She maintains a fairly healthy diet and she walks and runs. She has done several 5k’s and recently did a 10K. She has a very supportive family. Money is tight since she is really the only income but she states that they are doing “ok”. She would like to move to a larger home but she does see the light now at the end of the tunnel as he will be done with school in a few months and be able to decrease the burden of the finances from her. She hopes this will enable them to move in the near future to a larger home. She stated she had episodes in nursing school where she could not sleep for “thinking” but that doesn’t seem to be a problem this time. She stated she has 1-2 beers occasionally on the weekends, is a non-smoker, and did not take “street drugs”. She is not taking any other medications except vitamins.
There are many ways to handle this issue so let’s discuss it. How would you treat? For this assignment, please locate at least ONE peer-reviewed article that provides rationale for your approach and provide the APA citation. Attach the article in case your peers are interested in reading it.
This Discussion Board will go for weeks 1 and 2 so the initial post is due the Sunday of Week One (of course you can always do it early)

Identify and explain SEVEN major factors that enabled Los Angeles to evolve as a “suburban metropolis.” Use your own words, please, not Fishman’s. Please keep out tiny details, quotes from the readings, and facts. No numbers or dates. I want to see your brain processing the content in Fishman’s writing. Focus on the main reasons behind L.A.’s horizontal, decentralized development. What were the key factors that enabled L.A. to become, prior to 1950, a sprawling urban reality? Explain.

Professional Organization Paper

Nurses are a powerful group politically in the United States by virtue of their numbers. National and international nursing organizations represent nursing views in political advocacy. Therefore, nursing organizations, as coalitions, are powerful and have the ability to create and change health care policy. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree and the grassroots efforts of APRNs have the power to influence the healthcare agenda. Through membership dues and other revenue sources, professional organizations have the resources to create a network of federal lobbyists, state government political affairs directors, and political action committees.
Select one of the following professional organizations:
 National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Facilities (NONPF)  American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)  American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP)  American Nursing Association (ANA)
Search the website to determine a policy issue that interests you. Evaluate the financial, social and nursing implications. Identify at least two ways you could participate in the efforts the organization is putting forth to advocate for policy changes related to the issue you selected.
