Within us lives trillions of gut bacteria. The diversity of species (at least 5,000 strains) makes individuals’ community of gut microbiota unique1. Recent research has found that certain types and combinations of gut bacteria are found in healthy individuals. Gut bacteria can influence health in various ways from your immune system to heart disease2.
You know as a health professional the importance and usefulness of antibiotics. One of your patients, Jane, has tested positive for Clostridium difficile, or C. Diff, and is started on antibiotics. From your research, you have found that probiotics can help with treatment.

solved Proposal for Coordinating State Public Health Policy With Stakeholders Unlike
/in /by adminProposal for Coordinating State Public Health Policy With Stakeholders
Unlike most other developed nations, the United States does not have a unified healthcare system. Even with the passage of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the first major health reform law passed in this country in nearly 50 years, the United States continues to provide healthcare services through a patchwork of public and private insurance plans; federal, state, and local governments; and institutions and individual providers who are often unconnected to one other.
For instance, lack of coordination within the healthcare system that leave all parts of the system fragmented and not working together has undermined the success of the federal government’s commitment to address national health challenges through initiatives such as Healthy People 2020 (Teitelbaum & Wilensky, 2020).
Imagine you are a newly appointed public health policy expert working in your state’s public health department. In your first policy meeting, the director expresses concern about the growing number of staff in the department who continuously blame policy failures on other stakeholders. Your supervisor believes that there are misconceptions about the role of stakeholders in public health policy among the department’s staff.
As the first step to address this concern, your supervisor asks you to conduct research and write a mini-report that identifies and assesses the following issues.
Describe the key roles of at least four major stakeholders/players, to include a mix of public and private (i.e., federal or state agencies, providers, insurance companies, professional organizations, public health institutions, lobbyist organizations) you believe to have significant influence on your state’s public health policies.
List these agencies and organizations and describe their effectiveness.
Your proposal must present a clear supporting argument that identifies the role of the stakeholders for public health policy in your state and analysis with your evidence.

A 69-year-old client in the medical intensive care unit has been diagnosed with acute respiratory distress and altered mental status. The client’s medical history includes asthma, hypertension, and diabetes. She is intubated and receiving multiple vasopressor medications for hypotension.
At 1200 hours: The client’s ventilator alarm sounds with the high-pressure alarm, and is found to be agitated, unresponsive to commands, demonstrating extreme facial grimaces localized to pain, and restless, with excessive movement of extremities noted. Vital signs include heart rate 125 beats/min (100 beats/min at 0800), respiratory rate 35 breaths per minute, BP 150/99 mm Hg (120/75 mm Hg at 0800), and SpO2 85% (down from 100% at 0800).
At 1205 hours: BP increases to 185/110 mm Hg, with a mean arterial pressure of 135 mm Hg. The monitor displays sinus tachycardia at a rate of 140 beats/min. The client is prescribed medication infusions of norepinephrine (10 mcg/min), fentanyl (75 mcg/hr), and lorazepam (2 mg/hr).

/in /by adminLife Dependency[1]Rich had made a mistake, but surely the price he was paying was too high. He of course knew that level six of the hospital was a restricted area. But after he had drunk one too many glasses of wine with his colleagues at the finance department Christmas party, he had inadvertently staggered out of the elevator on the sixth floor and passed out on one of the empty beds.When he woke up he discovered to his horror that he had been mistaken for a volunteer in a new life-saving procedure. Patients who required vital organ transplants to survive were being hooked up to volunteers, whose own vital organs kept both alive. This would continue until a donor organ could be found which was usually around nine months later. Rich quickly called over a nurse to explain the mistake, who in turn brought over a worried-looking doctor. “I understand your anger,†explained the doctor, “but you did behave irresponsibly, and now you are in this position, the brutal truth is that if we disconnect you, the world-renowned violinist who depends on you will die. You would in fact be murdering him.†“But you have no right!†protested Rich. “Even if he dies without me, how can you force me to give up nine months of my life to save him?†“I think the question you should be asking,†said the doctor sternly, “is how could you choose to end this violinist’s life?â€[1] Adopted from Judith Jarvis Thomson.Some questions to consider for your response:Is it unfair to demand that Rich stay connected to the violinist for 9 months? Is he morally obligated to stay connected?What real-life predicament most mirrors Rich’s? Are there important disanalogies between Rich’s situation and the real-life situation this thought experiment is meant to address?Get to the level of principles! What popular moral principle is this thought experiment meant to challenge?=> So, what is the right thing for Rich to do? Or what is Rich allowed to do? Present the argument with the facts presented and use reasoning skills to argue the point.

Your lecture was quite detailed and long, and many of the students have contacted you with follow-up questions.You have decided that because of the number of questions and the nature of the questions you received, it would be best if you put out a short paper that went into detail about the topic. Apparently, most of the students who attended the lecture did not take notes.Assignment Guidelinesundefined Utilizing Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) as a starting point, please prepare a memo of 2-3 pages in which you describe the relationship that the various agencies at all levels have with homeland security policies, laws, strategies, and the U.S. Constitution. Use your course materials, the library, and relevant Internet research options to research HSPD. For instance, HSPD-8 is a Directive on National Preparedness. Review the HSPD documents found in your research and choose 1 of the HSPD documents to use for your memo. This is the starting point for this assignment. The highest level of the U.S. government devises homeland security policies and national strategies, but those policies and strategies must be carried out at all levels of government. Your memo should explain how these policies and strategies are implemented at the federal, state, and local levels, and how the U.S. Constitution can influence that implementation. Your answer to the following question can assist you in developing your memo: How do national, state, and local agencies implement homeland security policies and strategies while accounting for the requirements of the U.S. Constitution and other laws? Explain in detail. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
