The relationship between Health and behavior is cyclical, with one influencing the other and leading to positive or negative outcomes. It is critical to address behaviors that negatively impact Health, such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities for at-risk populations.
Indeed, Health and behavior are closely linked, influencing each other. Indeed, Behaviors such as physical activity, diet habits, and substance use can either improve or harm one’s Health. In turn, a person’s health status can affect their behavior towards seeking medical care and adhering to medical advice; of course, functional Health is influenced positively or negatively directly by social circumstances, obviously affected directly by the environment; one example is air pollution.
So many social determinants of Health, such as income, education, employment, and social support, can also significantly impact health-related behaviors. For example, individuals who lack access to healthy food options or safe areas to exercise may have riskier health behaviors. Similarly, those who face discrimination or chronic stressors due to social inequalities may be more likely to behaviors such as smoking or drug use.
By taking a comprehensive approach and addressing the social determinants of Health that contribute to risky behaviors, we can promote healthy behavior changes and improve overall health outcomes for individuals and communities.

Describes how the relationship between health and behavior affects social determinants of health.
Examples of social determinants of health include shelter, sustenance, transportation, education, and environmental factors. Low-income housing has been observed to be associated with inadequate sanitation and overcrowding, as well as the security that comes with home ownership. However, the availability of transportation alters the situation in numerous ways. Less people will experience anxiety and more people will be able to participate in physical activity (Whitman et al., 2019). Other social determinants of health include poverty, lack of education, and social position, which all influence whether or not a person receives necessary care (Andermann, 2018). Disease-free status is only one component of a person’s health. It is a condition established by a person’s birth, upbringing, existence, and aging circumstances. These elements are referred to as “social determinants of health” Increases in life expectancy are attributable less to medical advancements and more to societal support system changes. Consequently, it is essential to investigate how social factors affect the dynamics of health and behavior. Several examples serve to illustrate this principle. The best education, for instance, encourages individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles. In contrast, socioeconomically advantaged individuals are statistically more likely to engage in healthy behaviors. Multiple factors contribute to this occurrence. First, these individuals enjoy a higher standard of living, including greater access to nutritious food and more opportunities for physical activity and recreation. In conclusion, governments and individuals must work to improve the social determinants of health in order to promote the types of behaviors that lead to better overall health (Nutbeam & Lloyd, 2021).

You are creating an outline with essential business elements to provide a guide of information, which will support your ideas for opening a healthcare clinic.
To define a financial and economic structure supporting your ideas please include a discussion and sections within the paper about your vision for the program/organization/setting, a mission statement and values, and then how these connect to the strategic plan and business proposal. Next, you will develop an actual budget with the total costs including salaries, supplies and equipment (i.e., this equipment is under $1000 and later as you develop capital budgets in the next paper you will add more expensive equipment), direct and indirect costs (i.e., this includes positions and salaries for Full time equivalents (FTEs)). Then you need to approximate the gross revenues, total costs, and net revenues.
Develop an introduction, which clearly states the purpose of the discussion/paper. In the body of the text define each section of the program and budget in a narrative format. Do use tables and appendices to describe all of the elements of the program. Include a discussion from a financial and economic standpoint within the context of community need and patient populations, and the care delivery attributes of the program. End with a conclusion to summarize the paper contents and your thoughts.

We are going to do a little something different this time around for your Puzzling with Peers exercise. You will actually use your peer group as an interpersonal communication case study.
Working as a team echoes so many professional scenarios. This is why we construct these peer groups and design experiences where you truly have to be collaborative. Many of you have had those group experiences where it’s like a canoe with six people but only one or two are rowing. In this class, we use groups as an actual place to study and develop interpersonal communication.
Here’s what to do:
Step 1: Review text regarding Confirming Climates and Confirming Communication concepts
Chapter 8 of Interpersonal Communication: Everyday Encounters.
Step 2: Consider the following…
How much of a confirming climate has your peer group been so far this term?
Support your answer by using ideas from the chapter (such as acknowledgment, endorsement, descriiptive communication, problem-oriented communication, etcetera).
Feel free to go back and look at your discussions in Modules 1-4 as evidence.
Step 3: Post your individual assessment of the group climate
Is it a confirming climate? Why?
Make sure to justify your assessment and to use concepts from the reading.
While there isn’t necessarily a “right” and “wrong” response, the best answer is going to be a well-supported answer that engages the chapter material and shows an understanding of the concepts.
Individual posts are due by Thursday 11:59 pm ET, but the earlier the better.
Step 4: Discuss responses to arrive at a consensus
Respond to all of the other members in your group, discussing the following:
where you agreed in your assessment and where you may have had different conclusions
where you overlapped and why
why you may have drawn different conclusions in some areas
things that others noticed that you didn’t
Work together here in a mutually collaborative manner—discussing, constructively debating, and problem-solving—with the goal of arriving at a group assessment that incorporates the various contributions.
Also, besides looking back at how you worked together in previous modules, try to notice the communication among the team in putting together this group answer. How does that further your thinking? Is it a confirming climate as you do this? Is there confirming communication? Hopefully, there will be, since you are already thinking about this.

Find and submit a copy of New Mexico’s scope and standards of practice for Nurse Practitioners and then in a MS word document answer the following questions:
1) Do nurse practitioners have independent practice in New Mexico
2)If your state has independent practice, do you have to obtain supervised hours prior to practicing independently? If so, how many hours
3)What is the difference between full practice authority, reduced practice and restricted practice?
4) How often do you have to renew your NP license in New Mexico?
Please answer these questions in a one-page paper ( Not including the reference page), using the current APA format. You should attach your New Mexico Scope and standards of practice for APRN’s as an appendix.

ANSWER

New Mexico Scope and Standards of Practice for Nurse Practitioners

Do nurse practitioners have independent practice in New Mexico?

Yes, nurse practitioners (NPs) have independent practice in New Mexico. This means that NPs can practice without the supervision of a physician.

If your state has independent practice, do you have to obtain supervised hours prior to practicing independently? If so, how many hours?

In New Mexico, NPs are required to complete 3,600 hours of supervised clinical practice prior to practicing independently.

What is the difference between full practice authority, reduced practice and restricted practice?

Full practice authority: NPs with full practice authority have the same scope of practice as physicians. This means that they can diagnose and treat patients, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medications without the supervision of a physician.
Reduced practice: NPs with reduced practice authority have a more limited scope of practice than NPs with full practice authority. For example, they may not be able to prescribe certain medications or perform certain procedures.
Restricted practice: NPs with restricted practice authority have the most limited scope of practice. They may only be able to practice in certain settings or under the supervision of a physician.
How often do you have to renew your NP license in New Mexico?

NPs in New Mexico must renew their licenses every two years.

Conclusion

NPs in New Mexico have independent practice, which means that they can practice without the supervision of a physician. NPs are required to complete 3,600 hours of supervised clinical practice prior to practicing independently. New Mexico has full practice authority for NPs, which means that NPs can diagnose and treat patients, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medications without the supervision of a physician. NPs in New Mexico must renew their licenses every two years.
