For this assignment, you will select a topic different from the pro topic you worked on in Weeks 1-2. Conduct research on the topic and locate articles that takes a clear con position.

Next, develop a con-position proposal for this new topic. The goal of the proposal is to create a working thesis statement and basic research plan that considers context, audience, purpose, and presents potential sources. A proposal is not an outline, as it does not structure the paper. Rather, a proposal offers direction for research needs and gives your professor an opportunity to provide feedback before the drafting process.

Access the Con-Position Proposal Template and complete the six required sections:

• Subject
• Research Question
• Claim
• Research Plan
• Synthesis Matrix (Add the 3 con sources.)
• Reference Page

For an example proposal, refer to pages 269-270 of our textbook.

Discussion # 1 Advanced Primary Care of Family

    Shared decision-making leads to better health knowledge among the elderly, children, and veterans. They leave the decision-making to caregivers and practitioners. For children and the elderly, they do not participate in their examination, diagnosis, and treatment options because of their limited literacy. The same impacts how this population responds to the management of chronic illnesses and other aspects of care (Seo et al., 2016). Shared-decision making provides the elderly with an opportunity to ask questions when needed, seek more information about their condition, and communicate their health needs. Through this process, older adults gain an understanding of their health and become experts in the decision-making process.

     Today, best practices of models of care such as patient-centered care enhance communication between practitioners and patients. For instance, allowing a patient to be at the forefront of the medical process is an incentive for self-management (Narva, Norton, & Boulware, 2016). The elderly are particularly vulnerable to illiteracy and will tend to research more when they are perceived as decision-makers. They will be keen on the medical process and gain knowledge as a result. Additionally, motivational interviewing ensures that children and older adults are influential in the decision-making process.

     It breaks the barrier of uncertainty and facilitates curiosity among the elderly, who then learn to decode instructions, and risk asking questions about various aspects of their care (LeDoux & Mann, 2019). It is a strategy that promotes autonomy during the care process, which enhances learning.

In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on your thinking regarding the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.
• Select a healthcare program within your practice and consider the design and implementation of this program.
• Reflect on advocacy efforts and the role of the nurse in relation to healthcare program design and implementation.

The Assignment: (23 pages)

In a 2- to 3-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

• Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
• Who is your target population?
• What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
• What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?
• What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?
• Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?

Create a 6- to 8-page paper in APA format including a minimum of 4 to 5 references. Explain how you would lobby your legislators or local government for funds to support your issue or trend. Include the following elements in your paper: share why you chose the specific topic, the current relevance of material, how it is integrated into clinical practice, and how the information is used in clinical setting.

My Topic: Mentoring and coaching in nursing

Answer the noted questions.

You are evaluating a 78-year-old white male who comes to your office today with unintentional weight loss of 10 lb in the last year, self-reported exhaustion weakness based on grip strength, and slow walking speed, and low physical activity. Patient notes that he has been feeling worse over the past 6 months and just does not have the strength to do anything anymore. The patient states he is not currently on any medications except a multivitamin. He notes that he lives alone and does not want to leave his house. Answer the following questions with supportive rationale:

1. What questions should you as the patient/family ask to further assess?
2. What screening tools would be appropriate in this case?
3. Do you have concerns with frailty in this patient?  If so, why?
4. What referrals should be made, if any, on this patient?

Provide references.
