NR WEEK ASSIGNMENT
As an advanced practice nurse, what are three actions you can take to mitigate social impacts on marginalized women?
Marginalized women, in many instances, experience devastating social impacts like discrimination, persistent illnesses, and malnutrition. An advanced nurse should therefore initiate actions that can mitigate such effects. One of the actions should be advocacy to push governments, states, and organizations to adopt policies that will protect marginalized women from social discrimination. Regrettably, from various research findings, it is established that states, national government, and local governments have put in place some policies that deny women fair opportunity to access medical care services. Therefore, it is paramount to solve such instances as an advanced nurse practitioner by availing healthcare services personalized to individual patient needs and requirements. Subsequently, developing a good relationship and trust with the women, thus, enabling convenient access of Medicare to them (Prodan?Bhalla, & Browne, 2019).
Furthermore, an advanced nurse is an influential personality; therefore, policymakers would take their advice seriously, allowing them to lobby for a change of policies that will protect and guard the rights of marginalized women to accessing healthcare services. Lastly, practicing nurses should also carry out research to understand varying underlying cultural and social origins of women's marginalization and possible remedies. Moreover, the study can also evaluate policies that advance women's discrimination and recommend friendly policies to women.
2.What role does policy at either government, state, or local level play in the marginalization of women and childbearing families?
According to findings, specific structural policies at the local levels deny women a fair opportunity to access healthcare services. For instance, some states have policies that hinder...…to by the respective individuals encompassed within such policy. Equally, the policy stipulates how various things must be executed within its scope of authority (Prodan?Bhalla, & Browne, 2019). As a result, policies impact marginalized groups either negatively or positively depending on the nature of the policy. For instance, some policies that affect the marginalized negatively include; those policies that limit women's access to equal employment opportunities leading to increased poverty due to lack of income for most women (Baah et al. 2018).
On the other hand, some policies can also positively impact marginalized groups. For instance, programs such as Medicaid and Medicare result from favorable policies that enhance equal and universal access to healthcare services for all the citizens within the country. Therefore, policy developers should always attempt to develop positive impacts other than negative impacts (Daniel et…

Nursing Informatics NEW COMPETENCIES Nursing informatics or NI is a field specialty that blends and integrates the nursing, computer and information sciences in managing and transferring information and insights in nursing (Anderson, 2008; Coleman et al., 2010). It is aimed at assisting in the decision-making function of patients, nurses and other participants in patient care through information structures, processes and technology. Nurses who integrate this specialty into their regular practice are called
Nursing Theory Caring as an integral nursing concept can be viewed from diverse perspectives. It can be an attribute, a complex set of behaviors, or an attitude. This has made some people believe that it is impossible to improve and measure it although there is evidence that both improvement and measurement are possible. People recognize that caring models of professional practice affect the service users, health outcomes, healthcare staff, and ultimately
Nursing Across Theories Nursing is a core concept that is common across contemporary nursing theories. Even though the definitions, applications, and philosophies are different with each theory, the concept of nursing plays a vital role in each one. Contemporary theories came about when the teaching of nursing students was not sufficient to the performances of what the nurses were being taught in schools and ultimately affecting patient care in the long
Learning in adults is most effectual when the environment is both participative and interactive. Another important characteristic is that learners obtain instantaneous feedback. Teaching methods that necessitate a learner to think though data or information and come to a conclusion or forecast an outcome are more valuable than is reading or lecture. "The minute-to-minute care and monitoring of critically ill patients requires nurses to collect, analyze, and react to
Nursing informatics has been defined as, "a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice" (Shuler, 2011). The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management that describes the stages involved in the information system development, from a feasibility study to the maintenance of the completed system (Rouse, 2009).

Nursing Research Value of Research to Nursing Nursing is different from other health care professions. It has a large scope for practicing therefore it is necessary to understand theory in order to provide a strong framework for understanding of this profession. The daily practice of nursing contributes to a nursing practice theory, which can be empirically tested. A quantitative nursing research has three levels such as descriptive, co-relational and experimental. Therefore nurses
