Midweek Comprehension Questions
Discussion
Purpose
As mentioned in this lesson, numerous telecommunications-ready tools are already available to assist nurses in delivering care and improving patients' health outcomes. New and innovative tools are rapidly making it to the marketplace, making current tools dated and sometimes obsolete. Continue to reflect upon the point-of-care tools you may be familiar with using in your role as a Registered Nurse and how your responsibilities will change with your future role as an APN. How will you stay current?

Your written assignment for this module is a worksheet that describes the following:
APPLYING INTERDISCIPLINARY THEORIES TO NURSING PRACTICE
Practicum Part 2 – Health Care Disparities
(This is a continuation of part 1 with the homeless population in FL)
In this assignment, you will
1. Use your assessment data from week 3 to identify significant health disparities in your at-risk group.
2. Research and propose recommendations to decrease one of these disparities.
3. Write a 2-page (500 word) paper in the form of a proposal to area leaders to address the disparity in your community. Your proposal should include:
· A description of the disparity.
· The influences the disparity has on healthcare delivery.
· The influences the disparity has on similar populations in other countries and the provision of global healthcare.
· Recommendations to address the problem.
· Any graphs or charts in your document that are needed to support your proposal.
Cite any sources in APA format with the url link
Please Read the instructions Carefully.
Choose a patient-care situation in which the RN should intervene and advocate for the patient. An example of such a situation might be when a patient has not been given complete informed consent.
You must reference and cite 1-2 scholarly sources other than your text. Include a title page and a reference page to cite your text and adhere to APA formatting.
The Discussions in this course are set up deepen your understanding of the material as you make real world connections and employ creative thinking. To get the most from these discussions, full engagement is expected on the part of the student. Be sure to stop by the discussion section frequently, not only to post, but to read the postings of your peers and instructor. Engaging with your peers and learning together is key to this experience. For you initial post, choose one of the options below:
Option 1:
A growing concern in agricultural and food chemistry is the presence of residues in food. We use many forms of organic chemicals in agriculture and food chemistry and there is growing concern as to how safe these materials are. Choose an organic chemical used in agricultural of food chemistry and report on the functional groups contained in your compound, the uses of the compound, and the safety of that compound. This research will require one or more
Option 2:
Choose a compound that is classified as an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or alcohol, or amide. Report on important applications of this compound using at least one outside source. Next, write the condensed structural formula of a simple molecule with an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or alcohol functional group for your peers to name (do not give away the answer!).
