Based on your clinical practice area and location. What are some of the greatest cultural issues and trends that are frequently encountered? How do we as professional nurses rise to these challenges? Provide examples of cultural recognition and potential health-related issues while implementing evidence-based standards of care
In this Discussion, you will transform a clinical inquiry into a searchable question in PICO(T) format, so you can search the electronic databases more effectively and efficiently. You will share this PICO(T) question and examine strategies you might use to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question.
Review the Resources for guidance and develop a PICO(T) question of interest to you for further study. It is suggested that an Intervention-type PICOT question be developed as these seem to work best for this course.
Post a brief description of your clinical issue of interest. This clinical issue will remain the same for the entire course and will be the basis for the development of your PICOT question. Describe your search results in terms of the number of articles returned on original research and how this changed as you added search terms using your Boolean operators. Finally, explain strategies you might make to increase the rigor and effectiveness of a database search on your PICO(T) question. Be specific and provide examples.
EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING DISEASES FACT SHEET
Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” This is most definitely true when it comes to diseases and how to prevent and treat them. As a nurse, you are charged with teaching patients how to prevent infectious diseases and what to do if they become infected. A powerful tool in your arsenal is the Fact Sheet. Usually comprised of one page of easy-to-read content, these leaflets can be distributed easily and can effectively inform your practice.
To prepare for this Assignment:
· Select one disease that is either emerging or re-emerging in the world today.
· Research the disease using both scholarly and non-scholarly resources.
· Determine your audience (patients, other nurses, schools, etc.) that you would want to share the Fact Sheet with.
· Select pieces of information that are appropriate for your audience.
Assignment Instructions:
Disease: Meningococcal Disease
Audience: General Public and Healthcare Professionals in Behavioral Health Settings
· Submit: A 1- to 2-page Fact Sheet.
· Indicate the audience on the Fact Sheet.
· Give a brief history of the disease.
· What are the implications of the spread of the disease?
· How does one detect and prevent the spread of this disease?
· How is this disease treated?
· Your Fact Sheet should be visually stimulating, appropriate for your audience, and formatted with bullet points for easy reading.
· Support your “facts” with at least 3 references.
Discuss who, among the talented and experienced people you know (use fictitious names) you would initially include on your business start-up venture team to maximize your opportunities for a successful business. Provide a rationale for choosing these individuals.

Reflect upon one NI competency relevant to APNs which you learned in this course. Provide a brief summary (100 words or less)
Week 2 Ethical Health Promotion Paper
Find a scholarly, peer-reviewed article no more than four years old that discusses an ethical health promotion-related issue.
In your paper:
· Briefly summarize the presented issue.
· Describe your thoughts on the role health care professionals should play in resolving the ethical issue.
· Provide specific theories and refer to specific ethical codes to support your position.
Your paper should be 2–3 pages long. Use APA to cite and reference the article and any other optional sources you use. Adhere to APA formatting throughout your paper.

Leadership and a Healthy Work Environment
Leadership involves the relationship between a leader and followers with the behaviors or attributes of the leader influencing whether employees consider a work environment to be healthy. Various theories exist about the way leaders and followers construct a social order in organizations leading to a healthy work environment (Vidman & Stromberg, 2020). My perception of a healthy work environment is one in which employees are satisfied with their work, work towards a common goal, and there is no conflict with managers or other employees. Leadership is the single most important factor influencing the employee’s work environment in an organization.
One insight from the literature about leadership is that managers who inspire workers to do their best contribute to a healthy work environment. Transformational leadership theory proposes that the way leaders use a positive relationship with followers can inspire others to adopt a common goal and voluntarily work towards achieving the goal (Pourbarkhordari et al., 2016). An element of transformational leadership is inspirational motivation by the leader that involves encouraging and motivating employees. The concept of transformational literature gave me insight into the way a manager at a part time job where I worked was able to motivate employees. The manager was always optimistic about the future even when the job we were assigned seemed impossible to do in the time allowed. The manager helped us understand that if the staff worked together as an efficient team, we could meet the deadline even though it seemed difficult. The manager also showed us how to perform tasks more rapidly. Because of these behaviors, we felt like a team and were always focused on helping each other. Even though the work was difficult, the work environment seemed positive and friendly.
I gained another insight about leadership from literature focusing on authentic leadership theory. The theory defines authentic leadership as altruistic and transparent behaviors, which also has an association with a healthy work environment (Giordano-Mulligan & Eckhardt, 2019). Authentic leaders consistently act on their values and beliefs and demonstrate integrity. The leadership approach also involves followers in decision-making about the best approach to perform tasks. On another part-time job that I once had, the manager was responsible for a group of employees that work her floor. A rule set by the manager was that all employees should be on time for work to avoid unfairly burdening the other employees. One of the employees, however, was always late. The manager terminated the employee and took the employees place until a replacement could be hired. The manager created a healthy work environment by fairly addressing a personnel problem consistent with stated values and beliefs while minimizing the burden of the decision on other employees.
