Lohrmann (2000) explains that since the 1980s, international immigration has fueled complex interactive security implications. Lohrmann (2000) argues that international immigration is a security issue in developing and industrialized states. In controlling the major security threats, cooperation between the receiving countries and the state of origin is significant (Lohrmann, 2000). Vietti and Scribner (2013) confirm that international immigration has critical challenges to security. The state security model governs particularly international relations, and the major factors for consideration are the security threats posed by mass immigration. This implies that both documented and undocumented migration causes major security concerns in the international community. State and international authorities are thus concerned about the dynamics of migration that affect national interests. Lohrmann (2000) highlights that disorderly movement by the international population, political/social crises, poverty, international military conflict, and civil war. Vietti and Scribner (2013) confirm that these challenges are significant in developed and industrialized countries.

  1. Course Competencies:
    • Incorporate professional values, attitudes, and expectations regarding ageism when caring for the older adult.
    • Outline the importance of advocating for older adults in management of their care.

    Your supervisor provided some valuable feedback in response to your outline! They are excited to see the PowerPoint slideshow you are creating for your topic’s in-service training. Having developed a number of presentations for in-services, your supervisor offered the following advice:
    “When developing a slideshow, it’s important to be mindful of how you layout your content. For an in-service presentation, the slides should present key points, be arranged logically, without extraneous information contributing to a cluttered look. The audience should get a lot of the content from listening to what you say, not just from reading the slides. Using the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint is a great way to include relevant details that you want to provide without overloading the slides.”
    Your supervisor wants you to work from your outline and prepare a visually appealing PowerPoint slideshow for the in-service presentation. They said it should:

    1. Have a title slide.
    2. Contain 6-10 content slides pertaining to the important content areas for your presentation topic.
    3. Use the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint to reduce the amount of text that appears on the slides. (The Speaker Notes will contain the text that will guide what you say while presenting the slides.)
    4. Be written using proper spelling/grammar.
    5. Cite at least 2 credible references and present the sources in APA format on a References slide.

Nurses play an essential role in the administration of care to older adults. These patients deal with various psychological issues, affecting and contributing to their health and well-being. Psychological factors like anxiety, poor relationships, stress, and social isolation can increase an older adult’s likelihood of suffering from ailments such as stroke or hypertension (Donelan et al., 2019). The complicated and multifactorial nature of the psychosocial issues makes them challenging for nurses to identify. For instance, the presence of physical illnesses can prevent the identification of these issues (Donelan et al., 2019). Despite this, nurses can overcome such a challenge by performing holistic assessments when interacting with elderly patients (Donelan et al., 2019). These assessments will allow nurses to pay attention to the patient’s psychosocial issues and somatic conditions. By doing this, nurses will identify all the patient’s needs, allowing the nurse to provide high-quality and safe care (Donelan et al., 2019). Nurses should also take an active educational role when caring for older adults. Elderly patients will often take numerous medications to deal with the functionality impairment occasioned by biological changes

government’s waiver expiring after six years, the state government responded by proposing this reform. This is due to the fact that Massachusetts would lose significantly on health coverage in case the state reverted back to the guidelines by the federal laws. Besides, the rising number of uninsured citizens led to a misconception regarding the exploitation of emergency departments on healthcare matters that are not urgent (Mason, Gardener, Outlaw, O’Grady, 2015).

The lack of materialization of the 1997 insurance reforms also favored the implementation of this policy. The law mandated that nearly everyone in Massachusetts obtain a minimum level of medical insurance coverage. The regulations also provided that residents earning less than 150% and 300% of the federal poverty level, respectively, would receive free and heavily subsidized medical insurance and that businesses with ten or more full-time employees would be required to offer health insurance to their staff (Cseh, Koford, & Phelps, 2015).

The US population consists of a diverse population; hence the nursing population should be diverse to help address the health care needs of a diverse population. The nursing population is predominantly female, with fewer men making up the profession. Increasing the visibility of male professionals in nursing is essential in improving diversity within the workforce (Mason, Gardener, Outlaw, & O’Grady, 2016). In addition, a low number of health care professionals are from ethnic and minority groups. It is also necessary to diversify the educational pipeline to increase diversity in the nursing field. It is equally essential to have a varied nursing education faculty to draw in and keep a diverse student body. Job satisfaction impacts the turnover rate of nurses, which contributes to a high turnover rate. Job satisfaction is the level of contentment that employees feel with their job.

The swell of blood vessels in the light-sensitive layers of the retina causes ROP. Some treatments have side effects, but a combination of medication and therapy can help heal the disease. The standard treatment of ROP is laser therapy which helps burn away the area covering the retina edges with no normal blood vessels (Chiang, Quinn, Fielder, Ostmo, & Chan, et al., 2021). This procedure helps bring sight to the main part of the visual field. Other therapy procedures include cryotherapy, which uses an instrument to freeze certain eye parts that have grown past the retina. The common drug used for the treatment of ROP is Anti-VEGF drugs which help block the continued growth of blood vessels in the retina. Although this drug is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is used as an alternative to laser therapy.

(ANA) wrote a letter to HHS in 2021 to recognize this as a national crisis. The nursing shortage has grown since the emergence of the Covid 19 pandemic (Rosen et al.,2021).

Another barrier is the emergence of the Covid 19 pandemic. The Covid 19 pandemic negatively impacted the field of advanced practice nursing. It created more dangerous workplace conditions for nurses, and the majority felt exhausted and overworked. A survey conducted in 2021 showed that 46 percent of the nurses interviewed had their commitment to their practice waned. The nurses felt they were the tallest of contracting the coronavirus and spreading it to their loved ones. Due to the underlying consequences, including the risk of contracting the virus, working for long hours, and mental health deterioration, most nurses quit their professions (Butryn e2017). Another barrier is the doctor’s opposition to expanding nurse practitioners’ roles. The scope of nurse practitioners’ practice is limited across the US states, where nurse

For this assignment, you will work on setting goals for yourself using the SMART method. You will list a minimum of five professional goals that you would like to accomplish during the clinical experience in this term. For each goal, you must provide an explanation of how the goal is representative of each of the SMART characteristics: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely. Be sure to answer the following questions for each goal summary: Can you measure it? Is it attainable? Is it realistic? What is the time frame you have set for completing that goal?

Format: Each goal summary should be at least 100 words – totaling 500 words for this assignment (added to the speaker notes). The presentation is original work and logically organized, formatted, and cited in the current APA style, including citation of references. The presentation should consist of 10-15 slides (excluding the introduction and reference page).

What are SMART Goals?

SMART is an acronym to help you set positive and achievable goals.

Specific

Goals should be straightforward and emphasize what you want to happen. Specifics help us to focus our efforts and define what we are going to do.

To set a specific goal you must answer the 6 Ws:

Who? Who is involved?

What? What would I like to accomplish?

Where? Where is this happening?

When? When do I start/finish?

Which? Identify requirements and constraints

Why? Why am I doing this? Specific reasons, purpose or benefits!

Measurable

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it! If you can’t measure it you will not be able to define whether you have achieved your goal or not. Goals usually have several short-term and on-going measurements so that you can see how you are doing in your aim to achieve your goal.

A non-measurable goal: I want to learn how to break dance.

A measurable goal: I want to learn 5 break dance moves by Friday November 2nd.

Attainable

If your goal is important to you, you’ll figure out ways to make it come true! After identifying your goal, you’ll begin to see previously overlooked opportunities and seize them to bring you closer to the achievement of your goal.

A goal should stretch you slightly so you feel you can do it, and it will need a real commitment from you. Think about what is achievable and what you want to do. If a goal is set too far out of your reach, you may not commit to it, or complete it.

Feeling successful as you move to achieve your goal will help you to remain motivated!

Realistic

Doing what’s ‘do-able’ doesn’t mean easy. Realistic goals should have you push you, but not break you! It is important to have a plan to make achieving your goal realistic. Set the bar high enough for a satisfying achievement!

Timely

What is your time frame? Putting an end to your goal, or target dates to work towards, gives you a sense of accomplishment as you move toward achieving your goal. With a time frame comes more commitment to achievement!

The time you set should be measurable, attainable, and realistic.

Requirements: 10-15 slides

vThis goal is specific, considering it answers all the 6 Ws associated with a specific goal.

vThis goal is measurable because I can assess my progress by looking at whether I was able to successfully perform a psychiatric interview.

vThe goal is attainable; considering interacting with my preceptor will allow me to learn how to perform psychiatric interviews.

vIt is also realistic since achieving it only requires me to remember and internalize what my preceptor shares about performing a psychiatric interview.
