Topic 1 DQ 2

During the first year, the infant’s growth can directly affect the development of the child.

The health professional should assess the infant’s physical, psychomotor, and psychosocial components (Green 2018). A thorough assessment must be done so delays in growth or development milestones are not missed and can be addressed quickly. Health promotion of the infant is vital so that complications can be avoided and or corrected. Infants’ psychomotor development is implemented by observing and responding to their situation/environment. The use of Erikson’s theory made of eight stages helps us understand the infant’s psychosocial development. The stage of trust versus mistrust is developed between infants to 18 months. The infant must learn to trust others who are caring essentially for their basic needs. This feeling of security is felt when basic needs, such as food and shelter, are provided. NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 2 infant developmental markers

If the infant’s basic needs are not met, the infant can develop a sense of mistrust (Waziri, Alexandra, Shereen, Grace, & Foibos, 2019). Piaget’s Cognitive developmental stages look at the cognitive function that is processed by the environment the infant has witnesses and maturity. (Green, 2018). The sensorimotor stage is developed between newborn and age 2. During this stage, sensory is developed, including seeing, tasting, hearing, and touching. The sensory stimulation is put together with voluntary motor responses. For example, the infant can grasp an object in front of them and bring it directly to the sensory areas to taste and smell (Green 2018).

The infant’s milestones are determinant on the age of months and are spread between two categories: fine motor skills and gross motor skills. A nine-month-old infant should be doing the following fine motor skills: banging objects, transferring objects from one hand to another, and feeding self-finger foods. The nine-month-old infant should be doing the following gross motor skills: crawling, sitting without support, get into a sitting position, pull to a standing position, stand while holding to support, and make stepping movements (Green 2018) NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 2 infant developmental markers.

Because the infant is in the chart’s 25th percentile, some of these milestones may not have been reached yet. The infant should be able to do milestones between 4-6 months. The health professional may see these milestones such as not being able to roll from back to front and front to back, sit without support, and so on more of concern. Yet, the idea of the infant being smaller will set the infant back to the milestone track. NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 2 infant developmental markers

NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 1

Re: Topic 1 DQ 1

A baby born at an extremely low birth weight (ELBW), is considered a weight less than 1000 grams or five pounds and eight ounces. NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 1  On average, babies born with ELBW make about 8 percent of all births in the United States (March of Dimes, 2018). Reasons for a baby to be born with ELBW are due to a premature birth or fetal growth restriction (FGR), which may be caused by chronic medical conditions, infections, use of certain medication, illicit drug use or smoking.Having a ELBW baby is an added stress to families since babies tend to have a higher morbidity rate than babies born with a normal birth weight. Other common conditions with ELBW is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity and jaundice. These conditions or diagnosis may require longer hospitalizations, follow up by specialists, surgical intervention, additional tests, or procedures and of course costly to the baby’s family and/or the community. Long term effects found in these infants is that they may have intellectual developmental disabilities, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Age factors noted are in mothers under the age of 15 and over the age of 35 years of age that are at risk to have a ELBW baby NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 1. Racial minority mothers are at a higher risk as well due to health disparities of insufficient health care access or prenatal care, lack of health insurance, financial unavailability to healthy foods, education, and social services resources.March of Dimes is a great resource for premature babies and families to optimize overall health and minimize health risks. They have hospital based resources to educate and promote wellness also through community programs that include patient navigation/care coordination, hospital quality improvement to reduce early elective deliveries, group prenatal care, and smoking cessation, prevention of repeat preterm births, and infection diagnosis and treatment. We also have Early Child Intervention (ECI) is a statewide program within the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for families with children birth up to age 3, with developmental delays, disabilities or certain medical diagnoses that may impact development. ECI services support families as they learn how to help their children grow and learn. A team of licensed or credentialed providers evaluates the child and plans and provides services. The team may include: Early intervention specialists, Speech and language pathologists, Physical and occupational therapists, Psychologists, Registered nurses, Dietitians, Social workers and Counselors.

Re: Topic 1 DQ 1

Babies who have extremely low birth weights require hospitalization. They are usually physiologically immature and have complications that require extensive technological and pharmacological interventions. They are likely to have respiratory issues due to deficient surfactant levels, greater risk of collapsed lungs, and immature capillaries in the lungs. These babies are unable to maintain their body temperature and are at a greater risk for hypothermia because they have a limited amount of brown fat and minimal insulating subcutaneous fat, and at risk for infections. For the families of low-birth-weight babies, parents often have difficulty bonding because babies are taken to the NICU or they may have received a poor prognosis; thus, distancing themselves to protect from hurt and grief. Parents must also be given time to grieve over not having the birthing experience that they imagined, planned and hoped for. The birth of extremely low birth weight babies affects the whole family and even grandparents are saddened at the effects of watching their own children experiencing such difficulties. Mothers are prone to post traumatic stress that can hinder their ability to interact with or care for their infant (Forcada-Guex, Borghini, Pierrehumbert, et al., 2011). NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 1 Extremely low birth weight survivors are at high risk for neurological and cognitive disabilities in varying degrees of severity such as cerebral palsy, borderline intelligence, and learning disabilities (Daily, Carter, & Carter, 2011) This can have a financial impact on the family as the baby may need medical equipment at home, extra caregivers, and medications etc. These can be short- or long-term impacts. Even short-term impacts can have negatives effects emotionally and mentally on the entire family.The World Health Organization estimates that 9.6% of all births worldwide in 2005 were preterm. The rate of preterm birth is highest in Africa and North America and lowest in Europe (Simhan et al., 2012) In the U.S., non-Hispanic black women have the highest rate of preterm infants, with Hispanic women having a high rate as well but still lower than black women and white women having the lowest rate of preterm infants. Many factors influence the direction in which a pregnancy will progress, such as environment exposures, access to clean water, access to prenatal care and vitamins, access to healthy nutritious food, exposure to lead, smoke and drugs. Cultural aspects and beliefs may also contribute to the importance of prenatal care. For example, in the Mexican Heritage, advice for health care regarding pregnancy come from family members and may delay the patient from seeking prenatal care (Purnell, L. 2014). NRS-434VN Topic 1 DQ 1A support service I was able to find to assist with support of preterm infants and their families is called 
March of Dimes. 
Their mission is helping mothers have full term pregnancies and healthy babies. They offer prenatal education, support and care, resources for pregnant moms and new moms of preemie babies, a My NICU baby app where supportive resources can be found such as NICU initiatives and on line communities that offer support to parents of premature babies.

Both the community health nursing and public health nursing and pretty much the same. The PHN addresses health promotion incorporating community aspects and global or environment concerns. Public health nursing focuses on groups, populations, or the health of an entire geographical sector (Canales & Drevdahl, 2014; Kulbok, Thatcher, Park, & Meszaros, 2012; Reifsnider & Garcia, 2015). Stakeholders are persons who are both involved and directly affected by the plans, actions, and outcomes of population health care. For example, stakeholders may be local government officials, community groups, faith-based organizations, or local business owners.

So in obviously the PHN and stakeholders focus on the same issues and values. Health promotion and education is often supported through partnerships with employers, faith-based organizations, schools, and health care providers for implementation of initiatives and reinforcement of health information (CDC, 2014). NRS 428 VN Topic 1 DQ 1 Public service announcements are one mechanism in which media and marketing campaigns work to disseminate health information (see Table 1.1).

So the PHN using these resources to inform the public of medical information. Just like right now in our nation. The CDC, CNN, Apple News, Local news, clinics, community health seminars, all these resources are used to inform our citizens about the health crisis we are experiencing today. Right now the top news is the Corona Virus that has spread world wide. We never in a million years would of thought we be in a pandemic. However, right now people are relying on the news to inform us of the vaccination drives etc. NRS 428 VN Topic 1 DQ 1

NRS 428 VN Concepts in Community and Public Health

In a community environment, community health nursing, also called public health nursing or community nursing, blends primary health care and nursing practice. Community health (CH) nurses provide families or populations with health services, preventive care, intervention, and health education. Public health nursing is the practice of promoting and protecting the health of communities using nursing, social, and public health knowledge, according to the American Public Health Association (2013) NRS 428 VN Concepts in Community and Public Health.

As part of community assessment, it is important to assess history, culture, economics, spiritual, beliefs and values. Such separate and interdependent relationships establish a context in which community members feel belonging. Evaluation and examination of social experiences, shared interests, goals, and various other attributes helps determine health status and health needs.

NRS 428 VN Topic 1 DQ 1

Explain the role of the community health nurse in partnership with community stakeholders for population health promotion. Explain why it is important to appraise community resources (nonprofit, spiritual/religious, etc.) as part of a community assessment and why these resources are important in population health promotion.

Community health nursing is a discipline that incorporates evidenced-based research along with advances in science and new approaches for improving the health The practice takes into consideration the cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds of the people in the community to ensure appropriate interaction and sensitivity when working with them.

A community is a group of people in a specific location, which includes places where people live, work and go to school. Most people belong to multiple types of communities. Community health nursing is commonly practiced in geographic locations like cities and rural areas.

The primary role of community health nurses is to provide treatment to patients. Additionally, community health nurses offer education to community members about maintaining their health so that they can decrease the occurrence of diseases and deaths. They plan educational assemblies, hand -out fliers, conduct health screenings, dispense medications and administer immunizations.

 

Nurses also may distribute health-related items like condoms and pregnancy tests. Examples of some health issues that community health nurses try to control or eliminate are:

 

Infectious and sexually transmitted diseases

Obesity

Poor nutrition

Substance abuse

Smoking

Teen pregnancy

Epidemiology Paper Requirements

Describe the chosen communicable disease, including causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment, and the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.

Describe the social determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.

Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?

Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and why demographic data are necessary to the health of the community.

Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organizations contribute to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.

Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example. NRS 428 VN Concepts in Community and Public Health
