An explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA

Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.
Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislator’s perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape.
an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. Then, explain how analyses of the voters views may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid). Remember, the number one job of a legislator is to be re-elected. Please check your discussion grading rubric to ensure your responses meet the criteria.

Mrs. Smith was seen today in the office for an annual physical. Her last appointment was a year ago for the same reason. During this visit, Mrs. Smith brought an empty bottle of amoxicillin with her and asked if she could have a refill. You noted the patient’s name on the label, and the date on the bottle was 1 week ago. You also noted your name printed on the label as the prescriber. The patient admitted that she called last week concerned about her cough and spoke to Stephanie.

Develop 3–4 new SMART goals for this quarter and the tasks you need to complete to accomplish each goal

Develop 3–4 new SMART goals for this quarter and the tasks you need to complete to accomplish each goal. Include a timetable for accomplishing them and a description of how you will measure your progress.
Describe resources you would use to accomplish your goals and tasks, such as ways to participate in a study group or review course, mnemonics and other mental strategies, and print or online resources you could use to study.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to help nurse practitioner (NP) students synthesize their knowledge and clinical skills in order to provide care to patients with complex health conditions. Continuing from the lifespan approach, students in this final psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) course build on content and skills from previous courses to develop clinical competence necessary to treat patients across the lifespan in mental health settings. Students explore how to select assessment approaches for patients across the lifespan, formulate differential diagnoses, and apply diagnostic criteria, appropriate diagnostic testing, and diagnostic case formulation. The student will use both psychotherapeutic approaches and psychopharmacologic approaches to develop treatment plans for psychiatric mental health conditions. Classroom activities and case studies enable students to explore the salient nurse practitioner practice issues involved in the delivery of safe, competent, high-quality, and cost-effective care of patients in a dynamic healthcare system. Course assessments emphasize the application of knowledge in the management of patients and collaboration among the advanced practice nurse and the patient, family, and interprofessional healthcare team.
