Hello Everyone, 
My definition of health promotion in nursing is to provide encouragement, education, and assistance to patients to enable them to take control of their health by preventing and intervening in disease and illness processes to preserve and improve their quality of life.
Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention is part of health promotion. Primary prevention is preventing health problems before they occur (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Secondary prevention is screening to detect diseases in their early stages before signs and symptoms are present (CDC, 2017). Tertiary prevention is managing a disease to slow or stop its progression (CDC, 2017).
Two patient-focused topics and objectives of interest to me from the Healthy People 2030 website are Overweight and Obesity: Reduce the proportion of adults with obesity and Arthritis: Reduce the proportion of adults with arthritis who have moderate to severe joint pain or whose arthritis limits their work and activities (n.d.).
Overweight and obesity interested me because, despite being frequently discussed, the objective status shows little improvement or even worsening in our society. The public is bombarded with numerous fads, diets, and medications through the media. I want to be able to give the most accurate and safe weight-loss strategies to patients. 
Arthritis interests me because many patients I see in my clinical area list it in their medical histories. The primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of arthritis should be discussed more extensively. Despite its prevalence, arthritis is a common issue that is often overlooked.

Health Promotion
Health promotion is the process of building capacities and resources for empowering people and communities to address health equitably and improve overall well-being through education, community engagement, and policy development (Gonzalez & Zuniga, 2022).
Differences in Prevention Levels

Primary Prevention: Prevents diseases before they occur through vaccinations and health education.

Secondary Prevention: Detects diseases early via screenings and check-ups to reduce severity.

Tertiary Prevention: Manages chronic diseases to minimize complications and enhance quality of life.
Patient-Focused Topics of Interest From Healthy People 2030, I’m interested in:

Mental Health and Substance Use

Objective: Increase treatment for adults with mental health disorders.

Reasoning: Overall, mental health is very important for the quality of life; positive mental health interventions can help decrease stigma and enhance lives. By addressing mental health issues, we could reduce and stop the stigma people face. 

Nutrition and Healthy Eating

Objective: Increase the proportion of adults meeting vegetable intake recommendations.

Reason: To prevent the leading causes of death in industrialized countries, people need to eat healthy food, and I want to stimulate better eating habits in the villages.

You are working at a long-term care facility and have been appointed to serve on a new committee. The purpose of the committee is to improve medication safety in the facility. Currently, the medication orders are handwritten in each patient’s chart. The orders are then sent to the pharmacy via fax. The nurses copy the medication orders by hand onto the medication administration record (MAR). The facility does not use barcoding or computer-generated MARs. Medications are supplied from the pharmacy in bulk rather than in unit dose. (Learning Objectives 2, 3, and 7)
1. Discuss the potential for medication errors in the current system. What processes are in place that could make medication errors more likely to occur?
2. Develop suggested solutions for each of the process issues identified. What additional suggestions for improving medication safety can you identify?
3. What would be the potential advantages and disadvantages of implementing a barcoding system in this facility?
Follow APA guidelines for references.

 
After reviewing Module 4: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following;
