Discussion question this week: The CDC and Healthy People 2020 continue to educate on the importance, the improved ease of access and insurance coverage for screenings and vaccinations. It is the responsibility of nurses to engage our ageing adults in self-advocating for services that benefit the individual and community health. How can you, as a registered nurse, impact older adults to encourage routine vaccination? What impact does this have on the community as a whole?

Please respond to two student’s post with a 200 words each.

Many illnesses have been prevented due to the incorporation of routine vaccinations and health screenings. Health screenings are provided to patients and communities to detect factors of health that have potential to impact one’s life such as blood pressure screenings. Blood pressure screenings are important indicators of a patient’s health. Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiac decline of a patient or population. Routine screening of blood pressure can help the patient and nurse to determine if the patient is experiencing increased blood pressures. The nurse and patient can work together on ways to decrease the blood pressure through education for lifestyle modifications, monitoring blood pressures and reporting blood pressure readings to the provider for review and or interventions as needed.
Yearly influenza vaccines are provided to communities, states, and the world, to slow the spread of the flu virus that has the potential to do great harm on vulnerable populations. Vulnerable populations are those with little to no immune systems such as infants and children, those that have comorbidities or disparities due to little or no access to healthcare. The ageing population can be seen as a vulnerable population as it does include numerous elderly patients that may have a harder time fighting off viruses due to weaker immune systems and or comorbidities such as diabetes or cancers.
As the world has seen with the global pandemic of Covid-19, the virus rocked all avenues of life and healthcare. The development of guidelines for social distancing and the manufacturing of vaccines to combat the virus and slow the spread have had a big impact on the survival rates as well as health of the communities. The importance that vaccines play is to introduce the host to a deflated virus in hopes that an immune response will start, and the body will make memory cells for immunity to combat the virus if encountered again. As nurses, it is important to educate our patients on routine screenings and vaccinations to promote optimal health in the patient populations. As with vaccinations, communities that have a high vaccination rate of certain vaccines such as Covid-19 vaccine, have a lower incidence in new cases of Covid-19 virus. Communities that are not well saturated with vaccination of Covid-19 are prone to seeing rises in active Covid-19 cases and hospitals can become overwhelmed therefore limiting the number of beds available or resources to care for those patients. Overall, the vaccination saturation of Covid-19 reduces the poor health outcomes such as need for hospitalization or deaths (Moghadas et al., 2021).

Children are not the only ones who are in need of vaccinations. Older adults and those with chronic health conditions are particularly at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases. Yet immunization coverage levels for U.S. adults are lo, leaving many vulnerable to illness, hospitalization, and deaths that could have been prevented. Bases on a 2014 survey, the Centers for Disease control and Prevention estimates that only 43 percent of adults ages 19 and older had received an annual influenza vaccine and 20 percent of adults ages 19 to 64 at high risk for serious pneumococcal disease had received the pneumococcal disease and 28 percent of adult 60 and older had received the zoster vaccine. These numbers may indicate low awareness and knowledge about vaccine-preventable diseases. What can nurses do to help adults get the vaccines they need and reduce the risk of severe illness? Nurses should take the lead by being up to date on all vaccines including the flu shot, to protect themselves, coworkers, patients, and families (Rittle & Francis, 2016). What are the opportunities to discuss vaccination for adults who are not current? With a nurse champion in the practice the management team can explore systemic changes and explore immunization for adults using several activities with proven effectiveness. Nurses are logical leaders for a multidisciplinary team that focuses on disease prevention, including immunization. They can champion the cause of immunizing adults and organize pre-visit planning activities to ensure that no vaccination opportunities are missed. Vaccines are one of the greatest triumphs in medicine, saving thousands of lives and preventing millions of people from becoming ill. Unfortunately, vaccines for adults remain severely underutilized, nurses make a difference (Rittle & Francis, 2016). Nurses can make a big difference in the lives of many people by teaching and educating, providing information and making information available and relieving the anxiety and stress of the unknown when people worry about immunizations and preventative care. With the current state of the country and the pandemic nurses can do telecommunication and can teach patients via computer lecture or in small groups, any way to get the education to the patient is key to educate and to get the message out.

Discussion Prompt
For this discussion, I want you to reflect upon a scene in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. The scenario’s plot in the clip can be described as follows:
Two large ferries are leaving Gotham: one full of criminals, the other occupied by innocent citizens. Imagine that you are on the boat full of innocent citizens. The two boats suddenly lose all power, and it becomes clear that both are wired with deadly explosives. Detonators are discovered on each ferry, and they will set off the explosives on the other ship. The Joker’s voice comes over the loudspeaker of the ferries, and he announces that he is performing a “social experiment”. One ferry’s passengers must press its detonator’s button and destroy the other boat by midnight, or else the Joker will explode both boats.
What should you do as a passenger on the boat full of innocent citizens? If one were to push the button and blow up the prisoners, what might that say about their character? Is pushing the button the morally right thing to do in this case?

Assignment OverviewUnit 4 – Discussion Board
ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTIONDeliverable Length:
Main post: 200 words (minimum); 2 response posts: 75 words each (minimum)
OBJECTIVES
The Discussion Board is part of the core of online learning. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow you to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the Discussion Board question. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires your active participation with classmates and your instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
At a minimum, you will be expected to complete 3 posts during the unit: 1 original response to the Discussion Board question and 2 posts responding to classmates, following these guidelines:
Your original post must be at least 200 words in length. It must reference the text or course learning materials at least once. Please note that even if the question asks for an opinion, you are still expected to support opinions with references to course materials and any other credible academic sources to support your opinions. Do not use Internet sources other than those provided in the course materials. APA format is not necessary for your Discussion Board when citing references, but you are required to acknowledge your resources: In the narrative, describe where information was obtained. For example, “As mentioned in Chapter 2 of the course textbook, prioritizing tasks is…” or “As mentioned in the intellipath lesson for Unit 2…”
Your two response posts must be at least 75 words in length. Responses should contribute to the conversation by being reflective, specific, and engaging. Quick responses (such as “I agree” or “Thank you!”) will not be counted as adequate.
Your first contribution must be posted before midnight CST (Central time) on Friday of each week. You must make 2 additional posts—on separate days between Saturday and Tuesday—before midnight CST. The original response and the peer responses can be completed in any order.
For assistance in supporting your assignment, please use your text and all course materials.

Length, etc.: at least 600 words, MLA format (Times New Roman, 12-point font, double spaced, with proper heading/page numbers);
Here is how to make your papers MLA formatted in MS Word: (and, after you follow directions in this video, compose this paper, and save it—then, all you need to do for the rest of your papers this semester is call this one up and then delete all the old paper’s info.) Here is a tutorial video for MLA formatting in MS Word (ignore the stuff about “page break” from 2:06-3:00; just focus on doing your heading and page #s correctly):

Your training for this course begins with a bit of reverse engineering, since you’ll be dissecting the argument (and argument strategies) of a video essay about the film Us. (By dissect I mean take apart and examine something for the sake of understanding how it works.) More specifically, you will explain 1) how the video essay’s author (The Film Theorist) structures and develops his argument about Us over the course of the video; 2)what evidence from Us The Film Theorist uses to support his argument that Us is “really” about the failure of the American Dream (in other words, those parts/aspects of Us that form the basis of their argument/thesis in the video essay, and 3) the extent to whichyou find The Film Theorist’s overall argument in “What is Us REALLY About?” convincing and effective, so wrap things up here with some kind of concluding statement (do not give a re-cap/summary of what you just wrote in this paper, because that’s not concluding anything).
The Film Theorist’s video essay provides a great example/model for how you will be writing about literature this semester. It is structured exactly like the effective academic essays we read/assign in college literature courses. So, keep The Film Theorist’s argumentative approach in mind–even after this Response Paper–and remember that this is what you’re aiming for in your own papers about literature (in the style and structure of the argument).
How to structure your paper: probably the smartest way to structure this Response Paper is to make it three paragraphs long, at about 200-300 words per paragraph. (DO NOT MAKE THIS PAPER A SINGLE, LONG-ASS PARAGRAPH–in fact, never do that for any papers…unless the directions say to). You may also simply number the parts 1-3 and compose this as three separate sections. Just don’t make it one long paragraph…ever.

References/Works Cited entries–for your paper’s MLA-formatted Works Cited page (at the very end), so don’t forget to include these two entries on a separate/final page, along with ANY other outside sources that I definitely did not assign:
“Film Theory: What is Us Really About?” YouTube, uploaded by The Film Theorist, 6 April 2019, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSmEn1qfhnU&t=4s.
