Are you looking for help with your nursing essay on clean water access, public health, and social determinants of health? We’ve previously worked on this assignment and have a sample available. Below are the exact instructions for the paper we have covered:
Assignment Instructions:
Throughout the semester we discuss health and importance of clean water for hydration, cooking (nutrition) and water’s contribution to health outcomes (i.e. lead in water, contaminated water leading to diarrhea or fluoride in drinking water’s impact on oral health outcomes). Often we consider lack of clean water as a global health crisis but not necessarily a concern here in the US. However there are areas in the US that struggle with providing clean water access to its residents like Flint Michigan. Here is another state with a huge water crisis in some areas that may not be as well known. Please read the following article and write a response in your own words on the following article and comment on a fellow classmates response (there is also a link on the page to listen to the article as well if preferred).
Consider these thoughts as you read and respond:
- What are your thoughts?
- How does Social determinants of Health and history play a part in the area of Alabama discussed in the article?
- Solutions are noted in the article, do you agree / disagree with the federal response to the water crisis?
- These residents are exposed to E. coli and other microorganisms or parasites, if you were an NP practicing in the area, what would you advise your patients who are affected by this water issue?
