Using the media as a tool can be powerful when promoting a health program. There are a number of steps that need to be taken in order to effectively disseminate a message out to the group you are trying to influence. Media advocacy and social marketing are useful resources a health educator can use in a number of different ways and for a number of different reasons. For example, social marketing may be used to influence individual behavior whereas media advocacy might be utilized when attempting to influence policy makers (CFOC, 2008).

1. Identify the steps you would take when designing a social media campaign (provide 5-6 steps, use your required readings as a guide, and use bold headings to clearly identify each step.)
2. Describe each step you identified and its importance when designing a media campaign.
3. Identify which of the Responsibilities and Competencies of a health educator a media campaign would address.
4. Describe at least 3 different budget strategies a health educator could use when implementing a health communication plan.

You are the facility counsel at Pierce General Hospital. You have been contacted by an attorney whose client is a former inpatient whose hospitalization at Pierce General resulted in harm.  The ‘harm’ was documented in an incident report prepared by hospital staff. Your review of the incident report indicates that the ‘harm’ described by the patient’s attorney is consistent with the ‘harm’ described in the incident report. Based on your conversations with the patient’s attorney, you believe a lawsuit is imminent. Because you believe it is in the best interest of all concerned to avoid the cost of litigation, you want to consider alternative methods of dispute resolution.  Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each of the 3 methods. Which one would you select for this case and why?You are required to have at least 3 academic references, cited in-text and referenced in proper APA format.

I have 2 discussion questions that I need help answering. They are worth a lot of points each.

Research is a fundamental role that every nurse and healthcare practitioner plays but in different ways. How can you use evidence to improve nursing care as a new nurse?

2. Describe a clinical situation where you were concerned (e.g., a higher incidence of falls, infections, errors, etc.) and where decisions were made to improve the situation. What sources of evidence were utilized to make the decision (e.g., personal experience, expert advice, etc.)?

Rosalie Halverson, a 63-year-old accountant, is undergoing her annual physical at the primary care office where you practice nursing. She reports overall good health, other than decreasing appetite (which she attributes to frequent heartburn) and increasing headaches and fatigue. In your nursing assessment, you note conjunctival and oral mucosa pallor. Her lab results indicate she is anemic, and you are discussing its etiology, symptoms, and potential interventions.

• 1. Mrs. Halvorson questions how she could be anemic when she “doesn’t have symptoms.” What factors contribute to the manifestation of anemia symptoms?
• 2. Which statement most indicates Mrs. Halverson’s need for education regarding anemia?
• 3. What dietary changes would you suggest for Mrs. Halverson? (Please be specific – consider her age, life-style, and any other factors that may affect her diet. Give detailed suggestions for breakfast, lunch and dinner – along with any snacks)
• 4. What might you suspect the doctor to order for Mrs. Halverson and what teaching needs to occur with this medication?
