Week 4 Discussion
The author of the eText states the following on Page 144:
“Few people find it natural to read cases. The language used by courts is often archaic, and the style of writing can make it difficult to comprehend the court’s reasoning. Moreover, the topics discussed in cases are often complex. TProblems that impact populations are vast and now more than ever social media is getting involved.
Choose one of the following population health problems to focus on:
Substance use and/or abuse
Research and share an overview of the current data on this population health problem specific to your community (Bay Shore NY 11706) You must use one (or more) of the resources from the Direct Care Project Part 1: Assessment and Diagnosis assignment. You may choose to find additional outside source(s).
Then take a moment to review the Twitter feed for compelling Tweets that may have an impact on or discuss the population health problem.
Give an overview of any agency, organization, person, or affiliation that is addressing the population health problem.
How could a community health nurse collaborate with the agency, organization, person, or affiliation address the population health problem?
Compose a 280-character or fewer Tweet that describes what you have shared with the class. Remember Twitter only allows 280 characters (this includes spaces, etc.) so you will need to be concise. It should include a hashtag. Include the URL to the reference or Tweet if applicable. Share this Tweet in the discussion.
Note: A Twitter account is not required nor is posting your Tweet on social media.
