Discussion Question

There are many factors that affect chronic illness—chronic pain, stigma, social isolation, altered mobility, or fatigue. Utilizing your learning from your readings and the South University Online Library resources, respond to one the following questions:

· Based on the research, which of these factors have the greatest impact on a patient? Why? Contrast at least two ways the factors would affect a twelve-year-old with the way they would affect a seventy-five-year-old.

· Consider the twelve-year-old and the seventy-five-year-old have a chronic illness. How does the chronically ill patient’s illness trajectory influence the plan of care?

· Review Healthypeople.gov website. Discuss how you feel these goals will impact the health of the nation. Briefly discuss how you could incorporate these goals/objectives into your day-to-day nursing practice.

Next, identify ineffective teaching–learning strategies presented in the video, and discuss effective strategies the instructor could have implemented instead to avoid learning difficulties and promote critical thinking and active learning.Incivility and bullying occur in the classroom as well as the clinical environment in a number of ways:

1) Student to student

2) Student to faculty

3) Faculty to faculty

4) Faculty to student

Incivility and bullying not only affect the well-being of the people involved, but it also puts patient safety at risk. Post your thoughts on some of the causes of incivility and bullying in the classroom and clinical environments, and suggest approaches that can be used to avoid this type of behavior.

Review Healthy People 2020 Global Health Initiatives. Choose one disease process and discuss the disease process, the goal of Healthy People 2020, and how the CDC plays a role in meeting the goal.

The disease process I chose to discuss is heart disease and stroke. Heart disease is caused by various risk factors including, smoking, hypertension, high cholestrerol, poor diet, and inactivity. Patients can also be genetically predisposed to heart disease. Healthy people 2020 has set a goal and interventions to help reduce the amount of people affected by this disease and to improve the quality of life of those that are affected. Improve cardiovascular health and quality of life through prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors for heart attack and stroke; early identification and treatment of heart attacks and strokes; prevention of repeat cardiovascular events; and reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease (Healthy People 2020, 2018). This goal can be met by patients becoming aware of their risk for heart disease. This takes place by having screenings such as labs to check for high cholesterol, smoking cessation counseling, and management of high blood pressure. The CDC supports Healthy People 2020 in reaching their goal. With $165 million for heart disease and stroke programs (including WISEWOMAN) in Fiscal Year 2018, CDC supports all 50 states and the District of Columbia to conduct heart disease and stroke prevention efforts (CDC, 2018). The goal can be met with interventions being implemented not only by patients but healthcare providers. Healthcare providers must use screenings to determine the risk of heart disease. Also important would be educating the patient of the effects of the disease and management of the disease including compliance with medication such as a daily regimen of aspirin if not contraindicated. Heart disease and stroke are big topics in the United states that need awareness and initiatives for meeting goals. In addition to being the first and fifth leading causes of death, heart disease and stroke result in serious illness and disability, decreased quality of life, and hundreds of billions of dollars in economic loss every year (Healthy People 2020, 2018).
