The county commissioners are discussing the annual budget for the county, a small rural community with fewer than 13,000 residents. Among the major
priority areas for funding are replacing a very old bridge and maintaining the road that leads to the city with the nearest hospital, 20 miles away. A recent
community assessment revealed that domestic violence is a concern (although there are no precise data as to the frequency of incidences or the number of
women and children who are in these often-life-threatening situations). Gina MacNevin, a community health nurse, has made a request for the county
commissioners to include financial support in the annual budget for establishing and maintaining a safe house for female victims and their children. The
nurse attends the county commissioners’ meeting to make her case for this request.
What information should the community health nurse include in her presentation to the commissioners?
What kind of arguments against the safe shelter should the community health nurse anticipate from the commissioners?

CASE STUDY: Albert
Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business
presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant,
this is his first trip to the Middle East.
He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as
he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time
and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations.
Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than
the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because
she is 6 months pregnant.
Reflective Questions
How would you address Albert’s beliefs?
What learning would be needed in each domain?
What learning theories would you consider?
How might his family concerns be addressed?
Health care organizations face many unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Diversity is a major challenge that continues to overwhelm management teams. This challenge is noticeable in top leadership roles in health care where a lack of diversity exists in the areas of gender, ethnicity, and race. There is a documented need for diverse leadership teams with transformational leadership skills to successfully lead organizations. Remediation of this gap is critical to the advancement of health care delivery and systems. Senior management must consider the deficiency and develop a strategic process to invoke change.
Suppose you are the executive director of the hypothetical organization Better Health Today, LLC. The board of directors has informed you that the organization has missed out on major federal funding opportunities over the past three to five years. The grant reviewer’s feedback describes the organization’s lack of diversity and community support to promote social change. The board of directors has asked you to review the issues noted in the reviewer’s feedback and provide recommendations to improve the reputation of the company.
Instructions:
Write a 5–6 page paper in which you:
Based on your knowledge of leadership theory, specify two key competencies needed to improve community relations. Provide support for your rationale.
Examine the impact that the lack of diversity has on the community meeting national public health initiatives. Analyze two of the major challenges the organization faces in improving diversity.
As a senior level manager, compose at least two strategies designed to minimize the impact that lack of diversity may have on the organization. Recommend one approach for implementing each suggested strategy. Provide support for your recommendations.
Design the key resources and main communication efforts required to implement the minimizing strategies that you suggested. Justify your position.
