...Running head: Prevention Plan Problem Prevention Plan 2/25/14 Problem Prevention Plan A classroom problem prevention plan is an indispensible part of every classroom. Schoolchildren need to be in a setting that encourages respect for each individual student so that all students in the class can feel comfortable when they make missteps or mistakes. A good prevention plan sets the expectations for the school year. The emphasis of my prevention plan is on preventing problems by keeping the children actively occupied in the lessons being offered. Having a good classroom prevention plan is the cornerstone for learning, without it the students would not be able to learn. This paper is a summary of what I do in my 3rd grade classroom. Rules I begin each first day of school by directing the 3rd graders to come up with classroom rules as a team. Nevertheless, I’ve already made up the rules I want; however, I think that the students should have a sense of ownership in the workings of the classroom. It amazes me that each year the kids come up with the same rules as the previous class before them. Repeating rules are using an ‘inside voice’, raising your hand and waiting to be called on, keeping your hands and feet to yourself and using nice words. These rules are important for this grade level because it teaches respect at the most critical year for school kids. Each kid is responsible for his/her own behavior, but by help making the rules they feel obligated...

...people from becoming ill and to have them be able to live their lives in the state of optimal health in every way (O’Donnell, 2009). The purpose of health promotion in nursing is to keep people as healthy as possible. Nurses have the encounters with patients in the community whether it is in the outpatient or inpatient setting. As a nurse you have many opportunities to speak with your patients and family members and educate them on healthy behavior and risks factors that they may be involved in to prevent further illnesses if possible. Nurses use a plan of care to identify, implement, and evaluate that the goals are being met. This gives them a tool to make sure the patients are getting what they need. There are three levels of health promotion primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The primary prevention is to prevent disease. The secondary prevention is to find the disease before there are any symptoms. The tertiary prevention is to slow down the disease process. “Health Promotion is the art and science of helping people discover the synergies between their core passions and optimal health, enhancing their motivation to strive for optimal health, and supporting them in changing their lifestyle to move toward a state of optimal health. Optimal health is a dynamic balance of physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual health. Lifestyle change can be facilitated through a combination of learning experiences that enhance awareness, increase motivation, and build...

...utilized the Communities That Care system as a capacity building tool to aid in the Strategic Prevention Framework process. The Strategic Prevention Framework is a 5-step planning process that guides the selection, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based, culturally appropriate, sustainable prevention activities. Communities That Care is a tool used to guide a community through the assessment and prioritization of risk and protective factors most in need of attention and links those priorities to evidence-based and data driven programming to address them. It is important to remember that the Communities That Care system is simply a tool to aid in building a prevention infrastructure referred to as the Strategic Prevention Framework process. Communities That Care and Strategic Prevention Framework are not programs nor are they administrative names for program implementation. They exist and work together in helping communities get organized, identify problem areas based on community data, make knowledgeable decisions pertaining to how these problems should be addressed, and evaluate any actions taken to counter the problem areas. Each phase of the Communities That Care system fits well into a coordinating phase of the Strategic Prevention Framework process, and it is clear that sustainability and cultural competency as key components to every part of building a prevention infrastructure. This report describes the results of the risk- and protective-factor assessment...

...marketing research and other similar costs categories should all be included in the Cost of Quality (CoQ) analysis. 1.1 Identification of Cost Categories Based on Roberta’s current CoQ analysis, there are 18 cost categories with question marks that she either did not have data for or wasn’t sure about including. For the prevention costs, Roberta is having problem with the costs of marketing research, customer/user perception surveys/clinics, supplier quality planning, supplier quality planning, quality program planning and reporting, and other prevention costs. As mentioned earlier in the case, Roberta wasn’t sure how the marketing manager would feel about including marketing research as a category in the CoQ because it seems that marketing research as well as the customer perception surveys have no direct relation with preventing product defects. In fact, the fast development and introduction of new product is a key factor that differentiates Aqua Fun from their competitors in the same market. To ensure the quality of the new products before they are launched into the market, it is essential for the company to develop effective and well-designed production plan through market research and customer perception surveys. After developing the new product, the next stage would be picking the qualified supplier. Therefore the supplier quality planning should also be included in the CoQ analysis. For the quality management purpose, the... 2. 1. Cost of Quality Analysis A focus on...

...Suicidal ideation is more common than completed suicide. Many people faced with suicidal ideation do not commit suicide but may have suicidal behavior or make suicide attempts. Most persons who commit suicide have a psychiatric disorder at the time of death. Suicidal behavior can be characterized as a spectrum that ranges from fleeting suicidal thoughts to completed suicide. Suicidal ideation is more common than suicide attempts or completed suicide. Findings from psychological autopsy studies have consistently indicated that more than 90 percent of completed suicides in all age groups are associated with psychiatric disorders. It is not the psychiatric disorder itself that increases the risk of completed suicide, but the combination of the psychiatric disorder and a stressor, such as the death of a loved one, separation, divorce or recent unemployment, symptoms of depression, hopelessness, severe anxiety, insomnia, or panic attacks. It is important to note that not all people who are diagnosed with a medical or mental health condition experience suicidal ideation and that all suicidal ideation and behavior should be taken seriously. Patients with schizophrenia are more likely to commit suicide during periods of remission, when they are apt to feel depressed and hopeless, than when they are frankly psychotic.7 Patients with panic disorder and borderline personality disorder who commit suicide also have comorbid major depression or substance abuse. ...

...society and the consumption and abuse of alcohol has become a major public health problem. The effects of alcohol abuse range from a mild hang over to mass destruction, disease and deaths on a huge scale. Alcohol use in moderation has little or no ill effects either for the user or those around them. But the misuse of what has become one of the world's most dangerous drugs takes a devastating toll on both the drinker and on society as a whole. Most agree that the occasional alcoholic drink never hurt anyone. The real danger lies in binge drinking and the development of a tolerance to alcohol, which causes the drinker to consume every greater quantities of booze in a bid to regain that original but elusive feeling of well being. PROBLEM Attached is a comprehensive community-based primary prevention plan for reducing high-risk and underage alcohol use in a community. Though it is important to realize that any effort to be comprehensive will always be lacking some components, the strategies/activities/tasks listed are possible examples of what could be undertaken to reduce high-risk and underage alcohol use. This plan is intended as a guide for local communities to develop a plan that is 1) focused on primary prevention, 2) community-based, and 3) comprehensive. In Objective 12 some secondary and tertiary objectives are included in order to connect this plan to the continuum of prevention, intervention, treatment and aftercare.

...Theory and the Nursing Process Kenneth L. Harris University of Phoenix Community and Family Nursing NSG 420 June 22, 2015 Kimberly Lewis RN, MSN-Ed Theory and the Nursing Process The theoretical basis for public and community nurses began in the nineteenth century with Florence Nightingale. Nightingale believed in the prevention and surveillance of diseases. She further believed that a disease was more prevalent in poor environments. She proved that good health was more prevalent with a good environment for instance providing adequate ventilation, clean water, warmth, light, and cleanliness during the Crimean War (Allender, Rector, & Warner, 2014). The public and community health nurse can affect change in behavior by providing education of the basic principles of the Nightingale theory. The theory brings to light the relationship between good health and a good environment ("Community Health Nursing," 2013). The educating migrant farm workers about the need for adequate ventilation in farm labor camps to help prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis. The community and public health nurse must develop a teaching strategy for the population in need of education. The educational theorist Malcolm Knowles proposed andragogy or the art of teaching adults.

...providing education to patients, but it requires providers and individuals to be assertive in making decisions. First, factors affecting the health care system must be recognized, then strategies for resolutions must be identified, finally individuals and communities must be active and take proper actions for solutions. Regardless of health conditions, health promotion is essential for acquiring and maintaining a better quality of life. Levels of Health Promotion The promotion of health includes preventing any discrepancies in healthy living. There are three levels of prevention involved in health promotion which include primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention. Each level of prevention has goals for promoting healthy lifestyles. Nurses will encounter many different implementation methods depending upon the level of health promotion. To begin with, “primary prevention precedes disease or dysfunction,” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). The goal is to protect healthy people from becoming ill or developing a disease. A nurse’s responsibilities involving primary health promotion would include identifying those at risk, educating, and providing protection from injury or disease.
