Policy Issue Paper | Milestone #1: Statement

You will select a contemporary policy problem related to one of the larger policy areas outlined in the textbook (Chapters 10-15) to guide your Policy Issue Paper from:
Christopher A. Simon (2017). Public Policy: Preferences and Outcomes. 3rd Edition. New York: Routledge.
Submit a one paragraph statement about which policy area or problem you intend to examine and 5 references. This will be the basis of your first presentation.
Your selected policy problem should be narrowly defined so as to make the paper more manageable.
For example, if you are interested in environmental policy, then you should select a problem such as “improving groundwater quality for farmers in the Cumberland Valley” rather than “improving global water quality.” The more narrowly defined the problem, the more manageable will be writing the paper. In order to help facilitate a quality paper, your policy issue paper will be “turned in” for assessment at several critical points throughout the semester.
GRADING CRITERIA: For grading complete details, please review the attached rubric. The following criteria will be used to evaluate submissions.
Writing quality: Did you take your policy issue to task? Demonstrate that you have clearly thought about the material and raise interesting arguments, solutions, and/or problems that respond to the instructions/questions on the prompt.
Writing clarity: Was the paper readable and well organized? Clear of grammatical and spelling errors, organized, and flows well.
References: Did you use appropriate readings and or other course materials in your work? Reference evidence with consistent & accurate use of citations* both in-text and in a bibliography at the end. Assignment prompt is for 5 quality references.

Week 1 Ethical Exercise

Moralists believe that ethical behavior is that which produces the greatest good and that which conforms to moral rules and principles. Ethics is much more than a personal decision. In theory, ethics is how you react to temptation when no one is looking. The reality is that, for most, the “greatest good” invariably turns out to be what is good for the individual making the ethical decision. There is no ethical policy stronger than the leadership provided by the head of the organization.
Describe what factors help to create an ethical workplace. Should organizations have a code of ethics? Why or why not? Should good faith determine whether an act is legal or illegal? Provide an example or two.
Through writing this assignment, you will be responsible for using a minimum of 2 scholarly/peer-reviewed sources (e.g. GMC Library). Textbooks are not considered a scholarly/peer-reviewed source; however, they may still be included as a supplemental reference.
Your assignment is to be a minimum of 500 words. Going over the minimum page length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for a 10+ page essay.
Be as thorough as possible when writing your assignment, and remember, this is an academic assignment, so no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… don’t plagiarize!! Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade.
For this course, you will submit the graded activity using Turnitin. An Originality Report will become available within a few minutes after your first submission. Inside the Originality Report will be a Similarity Index. The Similarity Index shows a percentage of the material in your paper which matches other sources found by Turnitin. You will be expected to have a Similarity Index of less than 20%. If your Similarity Index is greater than 20% you will need to review your Originality Report to be sure that you have paraphrased your work appropriately, and cited your sources correctly.
The Originality Report will help you to avoid plagiarism and improve the quality and content of your essay. It is strongly suggested that you keep direct quotations to a minimum, and never copy and paste text without proper citations. You have until the activity due date to resubmit your work, however, there will be a 24-hour delay before the Originality Report becomes available. It is your responsibility to submit your activity on time, with a Similarity Index of less than 20%.

he role nurse plays in COVID vaccination mandate, telemedicine, and prescription drug pricing as advocates in the healthcare system.
Nurses are in a prime position to significantly contribute to healthcare reform that would increase public health and save costs. They are the largest healthcare professionals and have direct patient contact, making them ideal advocates for positive change within the healthcare system. Considering the COVID-19 epidemic, nurses have been instrumental in the vaccination mandate, playing a key role in educating the public about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines and administering the vaccines themselves. For example, according to a recent study, the Vaccination of healthcare workers against COVID-19 was associated with a decrease in virus transmission within healthcare settings. (Katchamart, et al. 2020)
Telemedicine is another area where nurses have the potential to lead the way in promoting access to care and reducing healthcare costs. By connecting patients with healthcare providers remotely, nurses can help improve access to care for individuals in rural or underserved areas and reduce unnecessary in-person visits. According to a recent study, remote consultations for minor health problems resulted in significant cost savings and high patient satisfaction rates (Bach et al. 2021).
Finally, nurses are well-positioned to advocate for prescription drug pricing reform. They have a strong understanding of the medications they prescribe and administer and are in a unique position to understand the financial burden that high drug prices place on patients and the healthcare system. According to a study conducted by National Nurses United in 2019, states that Medication prices are driving up healthcare costs, and nurses see firsthand how this hits patients with fixed incomes and those who are uninsured or underinsured. (National Nurses United, 2019). Nurses play a key role in COVID-19 Vaccination mandates, Telemedicine, and prescription drug pricing as they have direct contact with patients and can influence the public on the safety and efficacy of vaccines and their potential to reduce healthcare costs.
One relevant Student Learning Outcome related to the Discussion Topic is “Determine the effects of healthcare policy on nursing roles and healthcare delivery.” This outcome seeks to understand how national, state and local policies shape how nurses practice and how healthcare is delivered to patients. Understanding healthcare policies is crucial for nurses as it allows them to understand the impact of these policies on nursing roles and healthcare delivery and how it affects their ability to provide high-quality care to patients.
The learning outcome can be explored by examining the impact of telemedicine policies on nursing roles and healthcare delivery. Telemedicine has become increasingly important in healthcare delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent study found that remote consultations for minor health problems resulted in significant cost savings and high patient satisfaction rates (Bach et al. 2021). This highlights the importance of telemedicine as a tool for nurses to provide care remotely and improve access to healthcare, particularly in rural or underserved areas. However, more policy support is needed to ensure that nurses and other healthcare providers have the necessary training and resources to use telemedicine in their practice effectively.
Healthcare policies impacting nursing roles and healthcare delivery related to prescription drug pricing. According to a study by National Nurses United in 2019, nurses are in a unique position to understand the financial burden that high drug prices place on patients and the healthcare system as a whole and how it impacts nurses’ ability to provide care for their patients, and how it affects the nursing practice and role in the healthcare system.
In conclusion, nurses must comprehend how healthcare policy affects nursing duties and healthcare delivery. It allows them to understand how policies at different levels shape nursing practice and how it affects healthcare delivery. This knowledge is important for nurses to be better equipped to advocate for policies that support providing high-quality care to patients.

Articles + Presentation response

Respond to the the two comments below with questions or comments. Each response on separate pages.
1. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
The article states that Deep Vein Thrombosis is a blood disorder where the blood moves too slowly throughout your veins, which can cause a clump of blood cells. When they’re deep in your veins, that’s when it develops into Deep Vein Thrombosis and it’s mostly found in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis area. The symptoms for DPV are your leg or arm swelling that comes on without a warning, pain or soreness when you stand or walk, warmth in the area you’re experiencing pain in, enlarged veins, and your skin showing red or blue color. If the blood clot manages to move through your blood stream, which is still a thick clot, it can move up and get stuck in a blood vessel in your lung, which will develop into a pulmonary embolism which is fatal. The article does not talk about new advancements since it was written in 2022, along with no new treatments. The way to prevent DVT is to take care of yourself, examples: stop smoking, losing weight, and get active. Get regular checkups, don’t sit for too long, and plan surgery after-care. Common treatments for DVT are medicines, like blood thinners, inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, and compression stockings. Since DVT is prevalent on your legs, that’s where the treatment is focused on.

2. Diabetes Mellitus
As we all know when it comes to diabetes treatments get advanced according to the risk factors that come about as well as new methods to undergo the glycemic treatments. In this article it gives more updates on how to manage diabetes as we age with the environment we grow up in and as well as the risk factors we experience. Treatments are being renewed every couple years to then further manage this disease and to find more studies and causes on how to better control it when it comes to those who are at low risk to higher risk as well as those who are overweight and those who may be underweight. Diabetes has been a common cause in the US especially seeing alot of our population isn’t on the healthier side. In all we are constantly figuring out methods to manage it and keep these risk factors from coming about and providing education for these patients.
