The liver is a complex organ with many contributions to homeostasis that are often not appreciated until liver function declines. The liver has the capacity to rebound and regenerate after a variety of acute chemically or virally induced insults, but it is vulnerable to chronic chemical or infectious damage.

Explain the rationale for ordering these tests, and patterns of results that you might see in a patient with acute HAV infection.

Health Policy Brief Part I Assignment Instructions:
This is the first out of four Health Policy Brief assignments that will be developed throughout the Health Policy, Legislation, Economics, and Ethics course. The purpose of this assignment is to publish a health policy brief for stakeholders and community members. Particularly, you will identify a relevant health-related issue impacting populations and/or communities in the United States that has legislative and policy implications at the state and/or national level. The assignment is not about identifying a policy or procedure at your place of employment, but rather identifying a systematic healthcare concern that has legislative and policy implications at least at the state level. Sample issues may be identified in your state legislative website, board of nursing website, public health department website, and/or national association website. In addition, your textbook addresses systematic issues such as smoking during pregnancy, medical cannabis use, substance use disorders among health care providers, and patient safety outcomes, to name a few. Prior to beginning to work on this project, please view the 18:36 minute video developed by the Women’s and Children’s Health Policy Center titled, The Art and Craft of Policy Briefs: Translating Science and Engaging Stakeholders, which will provide you with an understanding on the development of a policy brief. The YouTube presentation can be found in the following weblink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1GpcAoBvnc

Submission Parameters:

For the first part of this three-paper assignment, please use the following guidelines and criteria. Also, please refer to the rubric for point allocation and assignment expectations. The expected length of the paper is approximately 5-6 pages, which does not include the cover page and reference page(s).

Introduction (including purpose statement)
Identify and describe a specific and relevant healthcare issue
Please identify an issue that has state and/or national policy and/or legislative implications
Describe the healthcare issue with the support of research studies, bills that have been introduced to the legislature, national association position statements, and reliable electronic health-related sources (i.e. Institute of Medicine, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Include information on the demographic impacted by the issue, adverse health/clinical outcomes, and prevalence.
Identify potential stakeholders and/or constituents who may support your health policy brief. For example, you may address the individuals, communities, and/or populations who may be impacted by the issue.
Identify at least one specific piece of legislation (bill) that is pending on your healthcare issue. Also, please identify if this piece of legislation is sponsored by the state or at the national level. Many times, bills are supported by national organizations such as the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. If your state legislature is not proposing a bill on your specific topic, you may identify a bill from another state for this assignment. Make sure that you provide in-text citations and reference the document.
publish a plan for your Health Policy Brief, which may capitalize from an existing health campaign and/or proposed bill. Include at least two objectives that you hope to achieve. The plan should seek to create a new policy or change an existing policy at the state and/or national level. The plan should be described in no more than 2 paragraphs.
Conclusion
MUST BE IN APA 7 format, with reference page.

Mary and Elmer’s fifth child, Melvin, was born 6 weeks prematurely and is 1-month old. Sarah, age 13, Martin, age 12, and Wayne, age 8, attend the Amish elementary school located 1 mile from their home. Lucille, age 4, is staying with Mary’s sister and her family for a week because baby Melvin has been having respiratory problems, and their physician told the family he will need to be hospitalized if he does not get better within 2 days.
Choose two or three areas of prenatal care that you would want to discuss with Mary, and then write brief notes about what you know and/or need to learn about Amish values to discuss perinatal care in a way that is culturally congruent.
Discuss three Amish values, beliefs, or practices to consider when preparing to do prenatal education classes with Amish patients.

The David L. Rice Library (http://usi.edu/library/ ) is a wonderful resource at USI! Students can access the Rice Library in person or online. Students can find links to Rice Library under “USI Resource Links” for this course.
For this Discussion Board, utilize the USI Library databases and locate the following two articles or click on the links below: Thomson, S. (2007). Nurse-physician collaboration: A comparison of the attitudes of nurses and physicians in the medical-surgical patient care setting. MEDSURG Nursing, 16(2), 87-91, 104.

Critique_of_’Nurse-Physician_C.pdf
The first article is the study and the second is a critique of the study. Read these two articles and comment on the study and the critique on the Discussion Board.
Identify the research question in the study article. Describe the additional references/sources used by the author to support her question. What ideas or thoughts did you come away with after reading the original study that would be helpful in your practice?
How would you judge the critique? (Remember, you are not judging the topic, just the critique). Was it complete? Was it fair?
Do you think this will be helpful to you when you get ready to read your selected articles for your PICOTS Research Question Assignment? Explain how Rieck could have improved her critique. Be specific.
Respond to at least two other student’s posts.
