Write a maximum of 2 pages on the following for BOTH physicians (residents) and nurses (single-spaced, 11 font) in bullet format. Support your comments with data if available. Put the links used at the bottom of the paper. Here are the key points to cover:
1. What are their key issues/concerns? Be clear as to which are physicians and nurses.
2. Will this expand or is it just a post-Covid reaction that will dissipate?
3. As an Administrator HR Director do you see these as legitimate and how might you respond to the professionals’ concerns?
4. How might you have to also respond to the demands of the rest of the staff, earning less than 50% of the nurses’ and 20% of the physician’s salaries?
Here are a couple of articles you can use or start with

Dietary Analysis Assignment 3: Water and Micronutrients
Your Tasks
TASK 1- FOOD LOG
You will keep a 3-day food log, where you will record the meals and snacks, along with their nutrients, that you ate throughout each day. You can choose to track this using Cronometer or the provided Word document
This week’s focus: water, sodium, potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, calcium, and iron.
You may record carbohydrates, fat, and protein; however, they are not required for this week.
Please see the Everything You Need to Know About- DIETARY ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENTS page for more specific details on this process.
TASK 2- ANALYSIS
Please answer the following questions in complete sentences:
In regard to last week’s ‘challenge’-Did you try your protein swaps? If so, how did it go?
In regard to water-Did you meet the recommendations for water intake? What are considerations that a person needs to make when determining water needs?
What drinks do you mainly drink to meet fluid needs? Do you think that those are healthy choices (caffeine, alcohol, sugar)?
In regard to micronutrients-What is your fruit and vegetable consumption like? Are you meeting recommendations? What are ways that you can increase your consumption?
What were your averages for salt, potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, calcium, and iron? Were these values above, below, or at the recommended values? Did these averages surprise you?
Were you taking a multivitamin prior to this course? After seeing these values, do you think you will continue taking the multivitamin or will you start taking a multivitamin? Why or why not?
Looking forward-What are foods that you can start eating in order to increase the above micronutrients (except salt!) in your diet?
What are ways that you can cut back on salt in your diet?

Now that you are in the final course in your program, it is time to turn in earnest to preparing for certification and licensure. You will need to take and pass the national PMHNP certification exam. Once certified, you will then be eligible to apply for licensure as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) in the state desired. It will be up to you to ensure you are knowledgeable about the practice agreements, scope of practice, and prescriptive authority in your state.
Although a movement called the APRN Consensus Model is attempting to standardize NP regulations nationally, it is still the case that requirements vary state to state. In some states, NPs may establish an independent practice without the supervision of an MD. Additionally, states are currently categorized as either allowing full practice, reduced practice, or restricted practice. Full practice states allow NPs to evaluate, order diagnostics, diagnose, and treat patients. They are licensed under the exclusive authority of the state board of nursing for the appropriate state. Many states may require prescriptive authority protocols in addition to collaborative agreement.
Another important area to consider and plan for is prescriptive authority. The appropriate board, which may be the medical board, state board of pharmacy, or nursing board, grants prescriptive authority under state law for the appropriate state licensure. The federal government grants the authority to write for a controlled substance, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) verifies this action through by the appropriate state board. Drug Enforcement Agency registration is granted at the federal level and has additional requirements/fees for the registration process.
In this Discussion, you will locate and review the practice agreements in the state in which you plan to practice, identify potential collaboration requirements in your state, and understand the certification and licensing process that you will need to follow.

A patient was diagnosed with caseating necrotic by a pulmonologist. Usually, the patients have tuberculosis, but in this case, the doctor diagnosed this patient with syphilis instead. So the question is, How is the pneumonia diagnosed? Does the doctor take the tissue and submit it to histology? Is it a histology stain that is done? How would the doctor see the spiral-shaped bacteria? How is it diagnosed? I also need a credible source, not Wikipedia. Let me know if you can help?

Learning Goal: I’m working on a health & medical writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Define outpatient care. What are several key changes that have been instrumental in shifting the balance between inpatient and outpatient services? How do outpatient services support the continuity of care in the delivery of health services? Why is it important for hospital administrators to regard outpatient care as a key component of their overall business strategy?
I already completed the entire discussion question, I am looking for a tutor to reply to peers. Peer responses need to be 450-500 words for both peer responses, and 4 scholarly sources including the textbook
Shi, L., & Singh, D. A. (2019). Essentials of the U.S. health care system — with access (5th ed.). Burlington, MA: Jones & Bartlett Learning. ISBN: 9781284156720.
Please review the Discussion Assignment Instructions attached below (just reply to both peers)!

Prompt: Journal Article on Strategic Management and Innovation in Healthcare Administration: Write an article for the Journal of Advanced Strategic Management and Innovation in Healthcare Administration (JASMIHC).
o Requirements: Create a journal submission for the JASMIHC based on their Writer’s Guidelines. Create a 1,500-2,000-word journal submission for the JASMIHC based on their Writer’s Guidelines. The Journal of Advanced Strategic Management and Innovation in Healthcare Administration is a fictitious journal for students to gain experience writing for a Journal in a Journal type of format. The Journal of Advanced
Strategic Management and Innovation in Healthcare Administration covers all areas of Healthcare Strategic Management that have been covered in this course. Please select a topic of interest that we have addressed in this course and write a journal article based on this topic and provide a practical solution to that topic of interest. For example, we have covered Patient-Centered Care. You might discuss the importance
of Patient-Centered Care within the current healthcare landscape and provide practical strategic management solutions for how a healthcare administrator might support this healthcare delivery model within their strategy. How might Figure 2-1, “Conceptual drawing of a four-level health care system” from the article, A Framework for a Systems Approach to Health Care Delivery by Reid et al. fit into your journal? Usually, Journal articles are focused on a specific solution that solves a specific problem and provide evidence that tie them together. Review the Journals we have read as well as the ones you have gathered in this course for more guidelines on what content you should expect within a Journal article.

For this discussion, respond to the following in a minimum of 250 words…
