1.4 Participate in health care policy development to influence nursing practice and health care.

Research public health issues on the “Climate Change” or “Topics and Issues” pages of the American Public Health Association (APHA) website.

Follow this outline when writing the policy brief:

1. Describe the policy health issue. Include the following information: (a) what population is affected, (b) at what level does it occur (local, state, or national), and (c) evidence about the issues supported by resources.
2. Create a problem statement.
3. Provide suggestions for addressing the health issue caused by the current policy. Describe what steps are required to initiate policy change. Include necessary stakeholders (government officials, administrator) and budget or funding considerations, if applicable.
4. Discuss the impact on the health care delivery system.

Select a technology that helps to maintain safety in prisons. Given that contraband is still found in prison facilities today, how would you recommend improving the technology that you have selected? Discuss this improvement and how it would help to stop illegal items from entering the prison while maintaining the safety of the officers and the incarcerated.

ANSWER THE ABOVE DISCUSSION THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS or MORE)

                                                          CLASSMATE’S POST

As a novice drone pilot, Delivery Drones fascinate me, and I did not immediately realize that they are being used to smuggle illegal substances into prisons. In June 2019, a prisoner in the Cuyahoga County Jail Complex in Euclid, Ohio, is seen on surveillance footage looking up into the sky and attempting to strategically position himself in a recreation area when suddenly a black package falls from the sky. Afterwards, the inmate covers up the package with an orange towel and retrieves that package. It was later discovered that the package contained drugs and a cell phone (2019). 

It is all too common for a drone to lose its signal with the control pad and venture off on its own until the signal has been reestablished. The loss of signal can be caused by a myriad of things such as Wi-Fi routers, cell phone towers, microwave antennas, and high voltage lines. These components cause the drone to become inoperable and the user loses all control of the drone and could possibly lose the craft altogether causing it to crash. 

Pilots use remote controls to connect with their drones and direct their flightpath, however the radio signals between the remote control and drone can be interrupted. A blanket term for this deliberate radio signal interruption is called jamming, but there are other ways to interfere with a pilot and their drone, including spoofing (Friedberg, 2018). 

To alleviate this issue in the prison system, high frequency signal barriers can be created and installed to cover the complete square footage of the prison and the surrounding acreage. This barrier will make it virtually impossible for a drone to be controlled inside the barrier, thus making it difficult, if not obsolete, for anyone from outside the facility to control a drone in the area. Depending on the level of protection, the drone detection software can alert the control center and ‘spoof’ the drone or take over the complete control of the drone and pilot it to a secured area.

The concept of leadership as a “vocation” greatly distinguishes leadership from a job, career, or what one simply does for a living. A vocation can be thought of as one’s calling. Vocation is often associated with the clergy or missionaries who feel called by a higher power to fulfill a specific purpose. Vocation is also a concept associated with careers like teachers, emergency responders, doctors, or other health care professionals who feel strongly compelled to dedicate their own lives to improving the lives of those whom they serve. Consider your own view of leadership. How does understanding leadership as a vocation inform your understanding of the personal and moral commitments required of leaders? If leadership is not a job, but a calling, what responsibilities do leaders have towards their position, their organization, and their followers?
