3. Evaluate the tools available to you and how you plan to use them.
Nursing Theory
King's Theory of Goal Attainment is relevant in today's nursing profession. The theory is designed to enhance nurse-client communication, shared decision-making, and participation in health care goals in order to achieve 'good overall health.' How would you use King's theory with patient's when working toward mutually defined health care goals? The following are questions to consider as you are writing your summary. What does 'good health' mean to you? Do you believe it means the same to your patients? How will you include the patient's meaning into setting and achieving goals in your future practice as an APRN?

Discussion post
Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.
Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislator’s perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on efforts to repeal/replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Consider who benefits the most when policy is developed and in the context of policy implementation.
By Day 3 of Week 3
Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. Then, explain how analyses of the votes views may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid). Remember, the number one job of a legislator is to be re-elected. Please check your discussion grading rubric to ensure your responses meet the criteria.
Thoughts
A performance driven team “includes a sense of purpose, open communication, trust and mutual respect, shared leadership, effective working procedures, building on differences, flexibility and adaptability, and continuous learning” (Thomas, 2020). The health care industry is constantly changing and in order to adapt to changes there must be a team that is resourceful and efficient to rise to these changes. A performance driven team is hard working and trusts each other and relies on each other to get the job done. Work is divided and conquered by this team. Just like a hospital, a performance driven team has goals that they work to achieve, a vision to see in the future, and value a job well done. Each individual has a job to do, and each individual has an open line of communication and they trust each other. Trust is a huge characteristic because if they can’t trust each other, they will never move in a positive and forward direction. Each team member is unique and they come from different life experiences and this can help with different viewpoints and opinions of events that occur and how to tackle them.
Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are ways that people live their everyday life. Intrinsic motivation “refers to those activities you do because you enjoy the activity itself” (Burkus, 2020). The passion, heart and drive is motivated internally by a person. Knowing that an activity or completion of task is enough satisfaction for the person to find joy or happiness. Extrinsic motivation is “any reason we do the work other than the joy of doing the work itself” (Burkus, 2020). This type of motivation is driven by external factors such as being paid to complete a task or receiving an award or trophy. Every person in a hospital is unique, coming from a set of traditions, a certain culture and a unique upbringing. Being able to understand why a person does something can determine how a manger proceeds in motivating his/her followers. This is important in a successful team, mangers and leadership teams have to understand why people do things certain ways. Understanding intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can help them understand what keeps them motivated and how they will be motivated.
Organizational Leadership and Informatics
As an advanced registered nurse leader, you have an opportunity to be a catalyst for change and lend your voice to important health care issues. One of the ways you can do this is through lobbying and engaging with the legislative process as both participant and patient advocate.
In this assignment, you will work in a group to identify a current health care legislative issue and prepare a PowerPoint presentation with slide notes. This health care issue can impact your role, the setting, the scope of practice, or the population in the community you serve. Refer to the website of your state legislature to research current legislative issues and identify appropriate steps.

Please answer the following questions in a narrative format:
Discuss the epidemiology of allergies.
What are your treatment options (consider pharmacoeconomic)? Compare first and second-generation antihistamines.
What education will you provide to the patient?

Nursing
One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.
To Prepare
Reflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients, including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients, including adults and children.
Consider how you might apply the stepwise approach to address the health needs of a patient in your practice.
Reflect on how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.
Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:
Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.
Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.
Explain how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease. Be specific.
Discussion
Identify two GCU Library scholarly databases that will help you find the best research articles to support your capstone project change proposal. Discuss why these two databases are better than Google Scholar or a general Internet search.
Cochrane Database and CINAHL are two chosen
