Introduction
Many organizations work to better local and global communities' quality of life and promote health and safety in times of crisis. As public health and safety advocates, nurses must be cognizant of how such organizations help certain populations. As change agents, nurses must be aware of factors that impact the organization and the services that it offers. Familiarity with these organizations enables the nurse to offer assistance as a volunteer and source of referral.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you gain insight into the mission, vision, and operations of a community services organization.

Case Study Module 6
Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide
evidence-based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.
Due: Saturday by 23:59 pm
CASE STUDY: Albert
Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business
presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant,
this is his first trip to the Middle East.
He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as
he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time
and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations.
Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than
the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because
she is 6 months pregnant.
Reflective Questions
How would you address Albert’s beliefs?
What learning would be needed in each domain?
What learning theories would you consider?
How might his family concerns be addressed?

Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to identify the scope of practice in one’s state, including level of independence of practice, prescribing authority, any limitations of practice, process for obtaining licensure in your state, certification, and education requirements for licensure. Next, students will discuss how the level of independence of practice in their state, i.e., reduced, restricted or full practice, affects patients’ access to care in their local community.

Next, students will discuss how the level of independence of practice in their state, i.e., reduced, restricted or full practice, affects patients’ access to care in their local community.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
· Understand NP practice as defined by law (CO2)
· Determine legislation as defined by legislation, statutes and regulations (CO2)
· Identify barriers to ensuring patient’s rights (CO3)
Due Date: Wednesday by 11:59 pm MST of Week 6
Initial responses to the discussion topic must be posted by Wednesday 11:59 pm MT. Two additional posts to peers and/or faculty are due by Sunday at 11:59 pm MT. Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due.
A 10% late penalty will be imposed for discussions posted after the deadline on Wednesday of week 6, regardless of the number of days late. NOTHING will be accepted after 11:59 pm MT on Sunday (i.e. student will receive an automatic 0).
Total Points Possible: 100
Preparing the Discussion
Discuss your state NP community in terms of scope of practice. Include your state’s scope of practice for NPs, including:
Florida
1.
· Level of independence of practice
**In California, NPs are required to practice under Standardized Procedure Guidelines. If CA is your intended practice state, please provide details on how Standardized Procedures Guidelines are developed in California and an example of a California SPG.
· Prescribing authority
· Any limitations of practice
· Process for obtaining licensure in your state
· Certification and education requirements for licensure.
2. If you live in a restricted or reduced practice state, how has patient care been impacted in your local community by these barriers? For instance, is the ED used for primary care? Are the EDs overcrowded with long wait times? Are there urgent care clinics readily available? Is there adequate access to primary care? If you live in a full practice, how has an independent practice of the APN resulted in improved patient access to healthcare?
3. How does access to NPs impact any healthcare disparities?
4. A scholarly resource must be used for EACH discussion question each week.
