Personally, "communicable disease" is a good topic that requires in-depth evaluation.
Such diseases spread very first within a very wide area thus presenting a need to explore them.
Curbing the crisis circumnavigating communicable diseases is vital for the wellbeing of society.
At an individual level, I am much pleased with the nursing interventions proposed within the
discussion presented. The interventions proposed through the discussion fully comply with the
principles of a registered nurse as brought forth by the World health organization. For instance,
teaching is a fundamental strategy in promoting community involvement in promoting wellbeing
(Regis College, 2018). The community should be taught about the dangers of communicable
diseases and empowered regarding the strategies involved in curbing the crisis. Additionally, a
collaborative approach is emphasized within the standards of a registered nurse. Collaboration in
the health care entity has proven to not only promote safety but also aid in enhancing patients'
satisfaction. I would also recommend health screening as proposed in the discussion as it
promotes accuracy in disease diagnosis.

Diabetes is a vital crisis across the globe. Following this discussion, I am much pleased
with the choice of the target group as the elderly population is the most affected the disease.
However, I would suggest for emphasis on children as they are the second most affected group
regarding the crisis (Whiteman, 2019). The discussion proposes outreach as the first strategy in
dealing with the crisis. Personally, outreach is a vital strategy y as it is fundamental to gather
information not only about the target population but also regarding the risk factors associated

with the disease among the population. Therefore, initiating the nursing interventions shall be
based on the data collected regarding the target population. The discussion also emphasizes on
health teaching intervention in controlling diabetes. This is a fundamental strategy as diabetes
mostly arises from lifestyle activities. Therefore, the community should be empowered against
operations that promote diabetes. Education programs are also community-centered which is a
fundamental principle of a registered nurse. Therefore, this discussion emphasizes strategies that
comply with the standards of a registered nurse.

Patient-centred care is a vital concept for the achievement of the 2020 objectives
regarding healthy people. Therefore, this topic is of much significance in the nursing profession.
Currently, most patients are conversant with the kind of services they expect from their
respective practitioners. Such information has been made available through the internet with the
digitalizing world today. Therefore, failure to promote patient-centred care may ultimately lead
to a poor reputation of the hospital entity. Furthermore, the healthcare field has been made
competitive by the joint commission accreditation and therefore failure to incorporate patient-
centred care may negatively impact the wellbeing of the institution in the market (The Joint
Commission, 2018). Patient satisfaction is fundamental to any health care provider across the
globe. The comments from the patients and data collected can be used as a measure of patients'
safety (Slawomirski, Brownwood, Fujisawa, & Klazinga, 2018). Therefore, promoting patient-
centred care is a significant point of discussion. The discussion also explores the barriers facing
the promotion of patient-centred care. This is a vital point in addressing the topic as the action
plans should be based on addressing such barriers.
