Category: Healthcare Assignment Help

Purpose: The purpose of this SHORT PAPER is to help the student understand global heath in terms of a pandemic’s (in this course, COVID-19) disease burden as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Read the assignment in its entirety prior to initiating the activity.

Step one:

Read: Stanhope and Lancaster (2015) Chapter 15

Watch the short YouTube video that explains Burden of Disease, QALYs and DALYs, YLL and YDL in very simple terms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fZdluXSUdg&t=25s

Visit the following websites to compare and contrast the COVID-19 statistics from:

WHO: https://covid19.who.int/   CDC: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home   California Department of Public Health: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Immunization/ncov2019.aspx City of San Diego Health and Human Services: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/hhsa/programs/phs.html

Step two:

Using APA format, write up your brief, clear and concise paper (no more than 4 pages excluding your title page and references list for a maximum of 6 pages) to include the following (*Hint: 1-2 brief paragraphs for each section):

1. A brief explanation of the COVID-19 pandemic (this information is given on several of the above websites).
2. Describe the differences between the 4 levels of statistics that you reviewed.  Using APA format, develop a table that compares the total number of cases, total mortalities, % of Deaths per population, total vaccinations and % of vaccinations (untitled sample below).  How do the populations compare?  Are state and local levels better or worse than country and/or world levels?  Do you see any correlation between the % of deaths and % of vaccinations?

Source	Total COVID-19 Cases	Total Deaths	% of Deaths per Population	Total Vaccinations	% of Vaccinations per Population
WHO
CDC
Ca Dept of Public Health
San Diego DHHS

1. Briefly explain burden of disease and impact on the world, country, state and city level (*Hint: the impact may be the same for all 4 settings)
2. Briefly define and explain how QALYs, DALYs, YLL and YDL are related to burden of disease.
3. Next, identify ONE outside article that describes an intervention that will assist in the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.  It may be applicable to the world, country, state OR city level.
4. Finally, describe how you as a nurse will apply this knowledge and share with your community of interest.

Step 3:

Label your paper Last name_First name_Burden of COIVD-19 (EX: Hanisch_Tyke_Burden of COVID 19) and submit to the appropriate assignments tab

 

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

Why do you think that the United States is the only developed nation in the world without universal health insurance? In the long run, do you believe a single payer system is the proper model for the U.S. health care system? Why or why not? What can we learn from the experience of other countries that can help us decide which policy direction to pursue?

Directions: Please read the following question and answer it to the best of your ability by either using your notes, class discussions and/or the class textbook.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT: The Constitution does not require the Supreme Court to have a maximum of nine justices. The number was instead set by statute, with the Judiciary Act of 1869. The limit then reflected the number of federal appeals circuits. Bear in mind here that no president has proposed increasing the Supreme Court’s maximum number of seats since President Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1937, with his “court packing” plan. He developed this out of frustration with the Court for striking down legislation associated with his New Deal series of economic reforms. The Senate rejected his plan.
TASK/WRITING PROMPT: Do you think that increasing the size of the court would alleviate concerns about longer terms of justices, or ideological or partisan imbalance? Would you phase in an increase over time, or allow it to happen all at once, no matter who was president or which party had a Senate majority?
Be sure to explain your viewpoint and provide evidence by using examples from the PowerPoints.
