| Station 1 |
| You are a nursing educator at the Hospital Administration Building, where there have been repeated incidents of lateral violence. You have been asked to provide scholarly evidence to support a new policy addressing workplace civility. Go to the information database in the Administration building to search on one of the laptops for the following article “The Bully Within and Without: Strategies to Address Horizontal Violence in Nursing”. Read the article and list two strategies that can be implemented to address horizontal violence. To support the identified strategies, you must provide a proper APA reference. Be sure to include the DOI number.
Strategies:
Two strategies that can be implemented to address horizontal violence are education and teamwork. Educating people regarding bullying and horizontal violence is extremely important. The nursing curriculum should cover education on bullying and provide viable resources on how to eliminate bullying (Egues & Leinung, 2013). Teamwork is also another important strategy on addressing violence. Nursing is a team oriented position. It is important to examine and evaluate the amount of abuse that occurs (Egues & Leinung, 2013). In order to initiate any change it is vital for nurses to serve as role models and improve on strategies in order to overcome violence (Egues & Leinung, 2013). Reference: Egues, A. L., & Leinung, E. Z. (2013). The Bully Within and Without: Strategies to Address Horizontal Violence in Nursing. Nursing Forum, 48(3), 185-190. doi:10.1111/nuf.12028 |

| Acting as the town’s Visiting Public Nurse, go to the poor area of town, locate two homeless men and then discuss two recommendations that you would give them to improve their overall health. You will need to support each recommendation with scholarly peer-reviewed support in proper APA format. Do not state you would give them a phone number or address of resources. Put some thought into your response. Remember these two homeless men do not have money, phones, or health insurance.
Homelessness is an increasingly important public health issue. The homeless population often does not have any insurance, money, or phones in order to call for help. The homeless population is often young, ethnically diverse, and often has families (Burt, 2015). Many homeless individuals are also long-term residents in the city from which they live (Burt, 2015). Alcohol abuse is frequently diagnosed among homeless men (Burt, 2015). There are various reasons people become homeless such as housing, income, unemployment, or deinstitutionalization (Burt, 2015). Two recommendations towards overall health for the homeless men are providing them with a stable residence, and providing them with access to health care. Individuals who are homeless need a stable home in order to succeed. Decent housing is not only socially desirable, but is necessary for the prevention of disease and the promotion of health (Burt, 2015). Also ensuring that health care is provided for these individuals is extremely important. Health care needs are necessary for everyone, including homeless people. A high prevalence of acute and chronic diseases is found among the homeless (Burt, 2015). Health care providers should be trained in diagnosing, treating, and following up among the homeless population. KINDLY ORDER NOW FOR A CUSTOM-WRITTEN, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER References Burt, M. R.
