Chapter 1:
You are an acute care nurse practitioner who works in an urban emergency room (ER). You see many people who come to the ER who have overdosed (OD) on heroin. Emergency medical services personnel may administer a drug that might reverse the overdose such as naloxone (Narcan). You may see three ODs during each 12-hour shift; some of these patients are admitted to the hospital, and others are sent home with a consultation for psychiatric followup. You are becoming hardened to the issue and have begun to question what you can do to address this epidemic.
1.) You hear that the state health director is convening a task force. List four actions you can take to be invited to participate in this task force.
2.) Which other healthcare professionals should be included on the task force?
3.) Which state agencies and regulatory boards could add value to the discussion?
4.) How can information about this issue be disseminated within the profession and to those outside the profession?
Chapter 2:
1.) How does the Kingdon model explain the NCNR (National Center for Nursing Research) getting on the political agenda?
2.) How does the Kingdon model apply to the Nebraska case study?
3.) Given your specific health profession, which policy do you recognize that needs to be on the agenda at the local, state, or national level? What can you do to begin that process?
