The case study is a review of a current homeland security issue and one that affects the U.S. You will prepare five to seven pages (not including the cover or reference pages) exploring the issue presented. The case study will focus on immigration and the threat to homeland security in the United States. A cover page and reference page is required. 7 academic and/or professional sources required. Make sure you can identify an issue relating to a topic of immigration.

Discussion

A1. The Affordable Care Act holds a provision that hospital systems complete a community health assessment and consequently, develop a strategy to address community health needs. Drawing on Mason et al. Chapters 11 and 77, what potential do you feel this holds to improve community health and how might this relate to nursings’ role – please give one specific hypothetical example (one paragraph). Please cite the textbook.

A2. Epidemiological and demographic data can tell us much about the reality of a community. Based on a review/use of the epidemiology resources listed, please describe one health reality that you were not previously aware of that became apparent to you from reviewing data found in a source given in the following list (please provide the data and cite the source, including URL). Then briefly propose one possible policy intervention to address this health issue that you would be interested in learning more about (one paragraph).

Module 11

Genetic engineering has become a part of our culture and it is difficult to tell the difference between unmodified and genetically modified food sources such as plants and animals. After reading this module’s material regarding vectors in biotechnology, consider the potential for nanotechnology and gene therapy.

For your initial discussion post, research nanotechnology and its potential use in biotechnology. Explain the potential advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in health care and discuss whether you would or would not support further research.

Module 10

Every year, natural disasters impact families, communities, nations, and cultures. Whether the natural disaster is a flood, hurricane, tornado, fire or earthquake, it can alter the environment and cause potential health hazards.

For this module’s initial discussion post, research a major national or global disaster that occurred in the last decade. Provide a brief summary of the disaster and explain the common public health risks that occurred as well as potential long-term health risks the victims might be facing. Do you think the type of natural disaster you studied has the highest risk of spreading diseases, or another type of natural disaster? Explain.

Module 9

Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they were first observed by Pasteur and Koch and later named by Selman Waksman in 1942. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistant microbial strains are becoming more prevalent and therefore making once easily treated infections more difficult to treat.

For your initial discussion post, share your thoughts on three ways that society – not physicians or medical staff – can help to reduce the development of drug resistant microbial strains.

Module 8

For your initial post, reflect back over the past decade and recall a news-breaking infectious outbreak of a disease that made an impact on you. Please include a link to a news article or video related to your outbreak in your initial post. Explain how that story changed the way you interacted with people, family, or friends.

The purpose of this assignment is to promote an understanding of knowledge of advanced nursing that comes from use of an explicit grand nursing theory.

Application Paper #2 Guidelines
The purpose of this assignment is to promote an understanding of knowledge of advanced nursing that comes from use of an explicit grand nursing theory.  Apply a grand nursing theory to your story of a nursing situation.  It is recommended that you continue to work with the nursing story you shared at the beginning of the course, although it is acceptable to develop the story of a different nursing situation for use in this assignment.
1.    Select a grand nursing theory from the list of nursing grand theories in the table of contents from your Smith text.
2.    Study the chapter on that particular theory in the Smith text. You will need to delve into the theory and really develop a deep understanding of the theory, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. Superficial reading will not allow you to complete the paper adequately.
3.    Search the literature for other primary and secondary source material, with an emphasis on primary sources. Reading in depth and broadly will help you to better understand the theory.
4.    Using the concepts and conceptual relationships that make up the theory, re-interpret your nursing story in the language of the theory you have chosen; that is, find all the dominant themes of the theory within the nursing situation you have described.
5.    Re-write your nursing story in the language of the theory, accurately using the concepts and their interrelationships and the language of the theory in a two page narrative.
a.    Introduce the work by naming the theory you will apply to your nursing situation and stating your purpose for the paper
b.    In the body of the paper, analyze your nursing story, explicitly using the distinctive language of the theory to answer these four questions:
i.    What is the UNIQUE FOCUS of nursing what is nursing about, what is the unique nursing take on health care situations, as expressed in this theory of nursing?
ii.    What do nurses DO when they are nursing – what are the activities of nursing, from the perspective of this theory?
iii.    Why do nurses do what they do what is the PURPOSE of nursing, from the perspective of this theory?
iv.    What is CREATED in and through nursing what is the product of nursing, from the perspective of this theory?
c.    Conclude your analysis with a sentence or two that describes insights gained into the nursing situation through the experience of viewing it through the lens of a grand nursing theory.
6.    Review general and specific assignment guidelines and refine your paper as needed.
7.    Submit your paper electronically as requested by your faculty member, on or before the deadline.

research and elaborate the ruling of the decisions for each judges for the case Harris funeral homes vs. EEOC

please add on to the following in regards to the decision of the judges on the case:

Justice Gorsuch ruled based on sex discrimination. Justice Gorsuch points out that the case dealt with Stephens gender identity and that sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids (Supreme Court of the United States, 2019, p2). Breyer specified that the problem did not stem from Stephens inability to perform her job but on her gender identification.

Justice Samuel Alito argued that the concurring opinions were based on assumptions of what is included in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Since society did not require transgender to be a part of sex discrimination, it cannot be interpreted because it was not explicitly stated.
