Select 2 (two) potential disasters and use two separate paragraphs to explain how these potential disasters can impact you as a nurse.
Category: Risk Management
Financial Risks and Operational Risks
Differentiate risk among components including strategic, hazard, financial,
and operations
Disasters
Think about disasters your community has or could potentially face. Now, think about how your community is helping its members prepare.
Explore your community and find an advertisement that represents helping community members be prepared for a disaster.
Examples could be a billboard, poster at a bus stop, marquee sign, flyer, yard sign and more. Example: Sign advertising ‘free’ flu vaccinations at a local pharmacy.
Upload that picture into the discussion.

Describe the message the advertisement is conveying.
Describe how the message impact preparedness.
If you cannot find any advertisement in your community, describe a type of advertisement for disaster preparedness you think would be most beneficial to your community and how it would be best conveyed.
Next, identify one community setting that is impacted by the disaster advertisement you shared
Settings:
Correctional facilities
Home health
Schools
Forensic areas
Hospice
Faith communities
Occupational health
Analyze at least one nursing role (refer to Week 6 lesson) related to disaster preparedness in that setting. Example: In the school setting, what actions and interventions would be involved with the nurse as coordinator of disaster preparedness?
Identify at least one key stakeholder related to the setting that a CHN could collaborate with regarding disaster preparedness. Include why this collaboration is important.
Your discussion post should look like:

Paragraph one: Describe the message the advertisement is conveying and how the message impact preparedness.
Paragraph two: Identify one community setting that is impacted by the disaster advertisement you shared. Analyze at least one nursing role related to disaster preparedness in that setting.
Paragraph three: Identify at least one key stakeholder related to the setting that a CHN could collaborate with regarding disaster preparedness. Include why this collaboration is important.
Resources: Where did you find your data?
Demand risk or process risk
. While supplier risk is often the most concerning, what about demand risk
or process risk? Consider examples of demand risk on Table 7.2 and
process risks on Table 7.3. Select at least two, but no more than three
examples from each and offer your perspectives on ways to mitigate their
negative impact
Health risk associated with the population
Develop and deliver a 10–15 minute seminar/workshop aimed at the teen or young adult audience on a specific health risk associated with the population. You will submit your presentation using the Panopto recording tool.
- If you predominantly work with a specific population and would like to present a relevant health risk seminar to that population, you must seek instructor approval in advance. Email your instructor through the Virtual Office.
- Choose a health risk associated with adolescence. Some categories to consider may include:
• Suicide
• Pregnancy
• Substance use and abuse
• Motor vehicle crashes
• Tobacco use
• Sexually transmitted disease
• Domestic violence
• Mental health issues
• Eating disorders
• Nutrition and fitness - As the health care advocate, you will present the following to the target audience (adolescents or young adults)in 10-15 slides or screens:
• An overview of the risk factor
• Contributing factors
• Prevalence of the health risk (meaningful data)
• Explain your role with the issue as a health care practitioner/advocate
• Ways to identify a problem and address the issue

Risk Management and the Classification of Prison Inmates
Initial Classification Process: Until the 1970s, most states used the clinical classification process, to decide what type of prison housing, work assignment, and treatment programs would be best for the inmate. Currently, most states use an objective classification system—an actuarial risk assessment—to determine an inmate’s initial assignment to a prison. During the 1970s, correctional agencies attempted to identify factors in an inmate’s background and prison behavior that are predictive of violence or escape. Objective classification systems were developed that could assign weighted scores to various background, sentence, and behavioral factors.
Reclassification of Inmates: After initial classification, prison staff regularly review inmates’ progress and move them to a different security level when their needs warrant a change. The reclassification review is used to modify the original classification and possibly reassign the inmate to a different prison. Reclassification has three basic purposes:
to consider changes in program needs, mental health, or medical condition;
as an incentive for good behavior by dropping the security level of inmates who conform and follow prison rules; and
to identify the need to increase inmates security level because of misconduct and resultant disciplinary action.
In this Discussion Board, let’s discuss whether or not you think that inmates assigned to maximum security prisons have no further use for classification by administrators. As a reminder, maximum security prisons are grades of high security level used by prison systems which offer an enhanced level of security to prevent prisoners from escaping and from doing harm to other inmates or guards. Do you agree or disagree that inmates have no further use for classification by prison officials? Give reasons for your decision.
