✔️ Global health emphasizes international cooperation involving multiple nations, organizations, and stakeholders to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities worldwide.

✔️ It incorporates a multimodal approach that includes education, disease prevention, policy-making, resource allocation, and technological innovation to tackle complex health issues.

✔️ Global health focuses specifically on addressing inequities that transcend national boundaries, necessitating cooperation between countries, international agencies, NGOs, and communities to improve overall health and well-being globally.

✔️ This approach differs from public or community health as it is inherently cross-national, targeting health issues that affect populations worldwide, such as pandemics, nutrition, sanitation, and healthcare access.

✔️ Key outcomes from global health initiatives include increased life expectancy, reduced global disease burden, improved health infrastructure, and strengthened international health regulations and frameworks.

✨ The stage of susceptibility is the initial phase in the natural history of disease, where individuals have not yet been exposed but may develop disease upon encountering a pathogen.

✨ Primary prevention methods, such as education on sexually transmitted infection prevention, focus on preventing disease before exposure and are targeted at individuals susceptible but not yet infected.

✨ By addressing risk factors and providing education, nurses help decrease the likelihood of exposure and transmission of STIs.

✨ Prevention at this stage includes interventions like condom distribution, sexual health education, and promoting safe sexual practices, directly influencing individual behavior to avoid initial infection.

✨ Successful primary prevention reduces disease incidence, lowers long-term healthcare costs, and ultimately improves public health outcomes.

💎 Nominal group planning is a structured decision-making method that allows community stakeholders to participate equally and reach a consensus on priorities before decision-making.

💎 The method includes brainstorming ideas independently, then sharing and discussing openly to refine ideas, followed by ranking or voting to reach group consensus.

💎 This approach ensures that every stakeholder’s perspective is considered and that the prioritization of issues is democratic rather than dictated by one individual.

💎 It is beneficial in community health settings to clearly establish priorities and action plans based on collective agreement.

💎 This approach enhances community involvement and buy-in, facilitating successful implementation of health initiatives.

🖤 Nurses are legally mandated reporters, required to immediately report suspected child abuse to Child Protective Services (CPS) or an appropriate authority without delay.

🖤 Making a report directly to CPS ensures that appropriate investigative and protective measures are promptly initiated by specialized professionals.

🖤 Reporting to CPS first preserves evidence, ensures legal procedures are followed, and protects the child from potential further harm or abuse.

🖤 Immediate reporting aligns with mandatory reporting laws that prioritize the child's safety and welfare above other interventions or consultations.

🖤 CPS has established protocols to swiftly assess and respond to reports of abuse, making this the appropriate next step in suspected abuse scenarios.

♦ Proportionate mortality is the appropriate measure used to identify and rank leading causes of death within a population by comparing deaths from specific causes relative to total deaths.

♦ This measure provides clear insight into which diseases or conditions contribute most significantly to overall mortality in a community.

♦ Proportionate mortality helps guide public health priorities, allocation of resources, and targeted interventions based on the impact and prevalence of specific causes of death.

♦ It is useful in public health practice to highlight the greatest health threats and inform preventative strategies.

♦ By identifying the top causes clearly, healthcare providers and policymakers can implement targeted prevention and control measures effectively.
