A 23-year-old woman presents to the OB-GYN office you work at. She was recently surprised to learn that she is pregnant. She estimates that she is about 8 weeks along. The woman tells you that she regularly drinks on the weekends with her friends. She asks you “Is that a problem? As long as I don’t drink very much, I can still have a drink occasionally while I’m pregnant, right?”

  1. How would you answer her questions?
  2. What types of abnormalities can be caused by alcohol, and how does genetics influence this?

Instructions: This is a discussion post, 1 page to 1 page and a half of content is enough. APA style references. 3 of them. 

week 7 600 capstone poster

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to create a poster that will present the visual and graphic presentation of the capstone project. Poster presentation should clearly articulate what you did, how you did it, why you did it, and what it contributes to your field and the larger field of human knowledge. This assignment is due in week seven and must be presented by the student.

Create your poster per guidance and approval from your capstone course faculty (template provided above). Follow the poster template as outlined and review the recommended resources in creating your poster.

What goals should you keep in mind to construct a poster?

  • Clarity of content. Decide on a small number of key points that you want your viewers to take away from your presentation, and articulate those ideas clearly and concisely.
  • Visual interest and accessibility. The viewers should notice and take interest in your poster so that they will pause to learn more about your project, and you will need the poster’s design to present your research in a way that is easy for those viewers to make easy sense of it.

From the capstone project, students will create an effective poster with the following information:

Title: ( the influence of nursing leadership on nurse retention ) 

Authors: Your name, faculty advisor’s name

Background/Significance

The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare.
Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on
outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease
management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention
delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing
the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.

Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field
has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve
multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing
population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the
rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an
industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.

In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further
review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your
organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.

ANALYSIS OF A PERTINENT HEALTHCARE
ISSUE

Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

Home-Based Telemental Health Care Act of 2023

The role of policy in health is inseparable. Politics significantly dictate an array of interventions in healthcare. The government incorporates the population’s power bestowed upon them to produce policies that influence public health interventions to safeguard a community’s health and welfare. Most recently, on 30th March 2023, the Senate introduced the Home-Based Telemental Health Care Act of 2023 (Congress.gov, n.d.). The bill aims to protect and improve the mental wellness of underserved individuals in the suburban regions who depend on income from farming, fishing, and forestry. This bill establishes grants to support the development of mental health and substance use services within rural regions. According to Mongelli et al. (2020), underserved individuals in the United States face various challenges to access mental health services, including social stigma, unavailable mental health units and services, inaccessible hospitals, unaffordable services, lack of medical insurance, and delays in treatment. Mental health and wellness are a basic need and a public health concern globally. Therefore, necessary efforts toward ensuring healthcare for all and reducing disparities in access are crucial.

The significant social determinants of health impacting the populations in the proposed Home-Based Telemental Health Care Act bill are economic instability, lack of education, lack of support system, and inefficient healthcare services. People living in rural areas are likely to have inadequate healthcare services owing to the limited number of clinicians willing to provide services to the region and low socioeconomic status (Coombs et al., 2021). Thus, in the event of sickness, they are predisposed to delays in accessing health services due to limited funds, lack of health insurance, long travel costs, and hours in search of appropriate care facilities.

Telehealth adoption in healthcare is extensive to narrow the barriers to access. Research by McBain et al. (2023) found that telehealth significantly improved access to specialized health services and mental health treatment in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, where in-person services were unavailable. Results in this study demonstrate that the intergration of telehealth to promote rural healthcare areas can result in a marked expansion of mental health and substance use services, bypassing the avoidable travel and expensive treatment costs and time wastage. Hence, supporting the Home-Based Telemental Health Care Act will significantly impact the health outcomes of individuals living in rural areas with blue-collar jobs.

 Respond to this by either supporting or respectfully challenging this explanation on whether there is an evidence base to support the proposed health policy they described.
