BSN410 Module 4 Discussion (dq1+dq2) Latest 2019 November

BSN410 Healthcare Delivery and Quality Outcomes

Module 4 Discussion

DQ1 Start by selecting one of the eight Millennium Developmental Goals (MDGs) from the World Health Organization (WHO).  After choosing one of the MDGs, explore a specific outcome measurement (indicator) for a country of your choosing to determine the progress towards achieving the MDG. In addition, you will explore nursing roles that would be helpful in achieving the MDG.

Choose one ranked country from the list below not chosen by another student. For this discussion you will need to check the discussion board before posting so that the country you choose has not already been chosen by someone else.

Start a new thread with the name of your country in subject line so that we all can quickly see the country you have chosen. This will not count as one of your postings/responses; it is informational posting only.

DQ2 From your discussion and your chosen country from question one, discuss each of the following indicators.

Please do not post a table or figure to answer this question.  Discuss your findings.

Average life expectancy

Cause-specific mortality

Neonatal (infant) mortality rate

Maternal mortality rate

Morbidity-diseases with greatest prevalence

Then answer:

If you were in charge of a mission trip to your country and were asked to choose one of the below indicators as an area to provide free nursing care services, which indicator would you choose to focus your nursing care to help reduce?  Explain why?

Average life expectancy

Cause-specific mortality

Neonatal (infant) mortality rate

 Maternal mortality rate

Morbidity-diseases with greatest prevalence.
