Pender’s Health promotion in patient’s with cardiovascular disease

Nurse practitioners actively engage in the process of translating nursing knowledge into practice, thereby establishing evidence-based approaches within the discipline. Throughout this process, a theoretical framework provides a meaningful context to guide and support the evidence-based practice. The purpose of this assignment is to identify a theory or theoretical model which can be used as a framework for a future evidence-based project during your nurse practitioner education.

Create a visual depiction using any tool you wish to explain the process of how ideas become regulations and rules and how rules and regulations become policy and laws on the local, state, and national levels for the nursing home industry.

Distinguishing the roles the local, state and national policy makers.

This Competency Assessment assesses the following outcome(s):

Distinguishing the roles the local, state and national policy makers.

It is important to understand the process of how ideas become regulations and rules and how rules and regulations become policy and laws for the nursing home industry. Imagine yourself as a public speaker trying to simply explain this path on the local, state, and national level to a bipartisan group of nursing home administrators. Your explanation should show the story of how healthcare policy is produced and how that policy impacts the nursing home industry.

Instructions

Create a visual depiction using any tool you wish to explain the process of how ideas become regulations and rules and how rules and regulations become policy and laws on the local, state, and national levels for the nursing home industry.

Research the path of how local, state, and national rules, regulations, and laws are created and include the knowledge you find from this research into the visual depiction you create.

The depiction should be concise and easy to understand. For example, no more than five PowerPoint slides if PowerPoint is used or no more than 2 pages of graphs, charts, figures, or pictures if Word® is used. APA is not required except for the references section. You must include two (2) scholarly resources.

Medical Assisting Interview

1. If you do not know a Medical Assistant personally, contact a medical office and ask to speak to the office manager/administrator. Identify yourself as a Kirkwood Community College student in the Administrative Medical Office Procedures class and you have an assignment to conduct an interview with a CMA. Ask if they have a staff member that they feel would be able to assist in your project. Interviews may be completed in person, Zoom, or via phone. If you are having issues with scheduling an interview, talk to me.
2. If you are meeting in person, wear casual business dress and appropriate shoes. No tennis shoes, sweats, or blue jeans. The same guidance should be used if interviewing via Zoom. Remember you are representing KCC and the medical assistant profession!
3. Your paper must be typed, using Times New Roman 12 font, double spaced. You must use three references from your text book in your paper. Your paper must consist of a minimum of four paragraphs.

Write a paragraph about the facility the CMA works in, who makes up the medical team? What type of business is it?
