2. Discussion: The Role of the Nurse in Global Health
In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Louise Fitzpatrick shared
how health and disease are global issues. She pointed out that
with the mobility of today’s population, health issues
experienced in one area of the world are easily brought to other
areas of the world through such means as travel and
immigration. They can also be brought to a nation’s doorstep
through the migration of animals, insects, and birds. Consider
the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, avian flu,
H1N1, or SARS. These diseases have quickly crossed oceans
and spread to multiple countries. They are a public health
concern in the United States as well as other countries.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Reflect on Dr. Mancuso’s comments in this week’s media
presentation; specifically, on the role of the BSN nurse in
public and global health.
· Select one health problem that you will use as a basis of
comparison between countries.
· Identify onedeveloped and one developing country.
· Compare and contrast the health problems and countries you
selected with the United States in terms of World Health
Organization (WHO) outcomes. In your analysis, be sure to
include information about workforce availability to deal with
the country’s disease burden.
· Based on your examination of the research, how well is the
United States performing in terms of public health as compared
to the developed and developing countries you selected?
· Think about what countries with worse outcomes could learn
from countries with better outcomes.
· Think about why nurses should be concerned with global
health issues and what the role of the nurse should be in public
health.By Day 3
Post your analysis of one health problem between one
developed and one developing country in comparison with the
United States in terms of the WHO outcomes and criteria listed

3. above. State your opinion about how well the United States is
doing in terms of public health. Share what you think countries
with worse outcomes could learn from countries with better
outcomes. Explain the nurse’s role in public and global health
and why nurses should be concerned with global health issues.
Conclude by summarizing your view of the role of the nurse in
public health.
Support your response with references from the professional
nursing literature.
Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response.
Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text
citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills,
including the use of transitional material and organizational
frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into
your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most
