1 Discussion For Dollar5

After reading Chapter 7 and the required resources for this week, consider the following scenario:

HIV Help-Inc., a non-profit organization focusing on the prevention of HIV/AIDS just received a $10 million grant to fund several projects.  The organization is currently located in an older building that needs extensive repairs. The organization is using outdated office equipment In addition, one additional staff member is needed in order to keep up with incoming phone calls and requests for presentations and community outreach activities. A portion of the grant – $2 million – is allotted for business improvements which can address one of these three areas: repairs to building, outdated office equipment, and more staff. The remaining $8 million is to be used to further enhance the continuum of care level to provide access to preventive health services.

  • Section A: Create a cost benefit analysis for an update that will improve the business: structural, office equipment, or staff. You can be creative in determining what the business needs.  The cost will use the full amount of funds allotted to this improvement ($2 Million), so you can only improve one of these three needs
    Note: Your work must include Steps 1-4, as outlined in section 7.2 of your course text.  
  • Section B: Create a cost effective analysis to determine how to best spend the $8 million portion of the grant funding on education and other preventive services. 
    The organization currently serves the community and clientele with community education classes at schools and community centers, as well as the distribution of condoms and educational materials. They wish to expand their current services to reach the neighboring community (4,000 residents), add social media advertising and messaging to reach the younger population, distribute educational material and condoms to homeless shelters in the area, and add HIV testing to at-risk individuals. Select two of the potential services and determine how the money can be best spent to have the greatest outcome for the HIV+ population in the community.
    Note: Your work must address the costs as well as the anticipated benefits, as outlined in section 7.2 of your course text
  • Section C: Based on the  CDC website, analyze how cultural norms impact the risk of getting HIV.  Explain one method or action on how to address this challenge.
    Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center
    Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts.  Provide a substantive response (minimum of 100 words) to at least two of your peers. Imagine you are a client or resident within one of the communities served by this organization. Do you feel the grant funding has been spent wisely based on your peers’ selections for services and outcome of calculations? Make recommendations on at least one other service that could be included should the original option identified in your peer’s post be impossible to fulfill.

There are many professional nursing organizations that support and advocate for nursing practice. Being a part of a professional organization allows nurses to have a voice and make an impact in policymaking decisions and legislation that can ultimately affect patient care. Being part of a professional organization also allows nurses to come together and be a powerful voice for the nursing profession. The main goal is to provide evidence-based, safe, quality care and coming together to improve healthcare is a huge way to make an impact.

According to RN.com, “Nursing organizations promote and encourage the use of evidence-based practice to its members. Nurses who are certified in their specialty will find that their nursing professional organization will offer continuing education that is pertinent to their practice. Many nursing organizations hold annual nursing conferences. These conferences bring nurses together from across the country, and oftentimes worldwide, to share education and best practices. They also offer the opportunity to network with nursing colleagues from around the globe” (Schneider, 2015).

One such organization is the ANA. This organization acts as an advocate for the nurse and for patients. The ANA raises awareness to the public, and legislation at the state and federal level when certain problems arise in healthcare or improvements are necessary. Raising awareness contributes to making changes in order to provide patient’s safe quality care. “ANA offers the information, tools, and resources that nurses need to become effective advocates” (ANA, n.d.).

Nursing organizations are the backbone of the profession. They advocate, and lobby to political leaders for change in policies and push for financial resources to carry out various plans and research. Most nursing organizations are specialized to a specific field, but they all have the common goal of promotion of wellness and providing healthcare to those in need when they need it. Speaking to my current role of a Medical Surgical nurse the organization of Academy of Medical surgical Nurses primary goal is to “focus on workplace advocacy; evidence-based practice, research and knowledge; professional development; national leadership and influence; and organizational health.” (AMSN Overview, 2019) Their vision is to have Medical-surgical nurses use their powerful voice and focused action to continuously improve patient care, and believe patients receive better care when medical-surgical nurses engage in ongoing professional development, use evidence-based practices, speak with a unified voice, serve as leaders on healthcare teams, have the necessary resources to deliver excellent care, and practice in a healthy practice environment. (AMSN Overview, 2019)

Nursing organizations have evolved to extensive levels of membership and with more than 3 million nurses these organizations have a massive resource for initiating change, with the largest organization being the American Nurses Association. “These organizations provide the opportunity for nursing as a profession to influence nursing practice, nursing education, health policy, and healthcare standards.” (Halstead, 2018) All nursing organizations advocate for patient care safety, continued education for nurses, allocating resources for those in need, and research with development of new policy.

Over the past 3 days, she has been unable to perform ADLs and has required assistance in walking short distances. She has not taken her antihypertensive medications or medications to control her heart failure for 3 days. Today, she has been admitted to the hospital ICU with acute decompensated heart failure and acute exacerbation of COPD.
