In this assessment, you will assume the role of the senior nurse at a regional hospital 
who has been assigned to develop a disaster recovery plan for the community using
MAP-IT and trace-mapping, which you will present to city officials and the disaster 
relief team.
Before you complete the detailed instructions in the courseroom, first review the full 
scenario
and associated data below. 
your assessment.
Introduction
For a health care facility to be able to fill its role in the community, it must actively plan not only
for normal operation, but also for worst-case scenarios which could occur. In such disasters, the
hospital’s services will be particularly crucial, even if the specifics of the disaster make it more
difficult for the facility to stay open.
As the senior nurse at the Smallville Regional Hospital, you play a vital role in ensuring the
hospital’s readiness for disasters and its ability to recover from them. The hospital administrator
wants to discuss disaster preparedness and recovery with you. Before the conversation, it
would be helpful to familiarize yourself with the background information on events that have
occurred in Smallville in recent years, including the involvement of the hospital.
Background
Investigate further for relevant background information.

SCENARIO: Mark works with Monica and Jennifer. He likes to make people laugh but often jokes about his struggles to learn new programs and technology.
The company recently informed the team that there will be a compliance test on new safety policies, which employees will need to pass in order to keep their jobs. The company has provided materials to study, as well as optional practice exams.
Monica, Jennifer and Mark are having lunch in the break room, and Monica and Jennifer mention that they have already signed up to take the first practice test. Mark comments about how hard it is for him to learn a different way of doing the jobs that he has been doing for years. However, later in the day, he stops by Monica’s desk to find out how she is preparing for the test and asks for advice. Given that they have a month until the compliance test, Monica is confident that she can help Mark prepare.
ASSIGNMENT: Using your problem solving and self and social awareness skill and the information that you have learned about the plasticity of the nervous system and motivation and mindset, answer the questions in this case study assignment to help Monica offer strategies to improve Mark’s chances for doing well on the compliance test.

Read the cases thoroughly and provide an analysis of the IT and Health Informatics Systems issues presented in the case. To give you an idea what information should be included in the paper, these questions (and possibly others, depending on specific topic chosen) should be addressed (when applicable):
Explain the issue using information from the readings in the book and other sources (e.g., websites, articles, etc). Cite your sources using APA. (Required)
What are the healthcare considerations that to apply this case and why?
What are the information systems considerations that apply to this case?
Who are the stakeholders (parties interested in the outcome)? (Required)
What possible courses of action are available? (if applicable)
What are the predictable effects of each action? (if applicable)
Any additional questions identified in the case study (Required)
Other formal questions included with the cases, such as your final decision. Your decision will not be evaluated as “right or wrong.” It must be supported though, by answering the questions above.
Include your own thoughts/opinions as well as materials to support these. (Required)
Do NOT write your answer in bullet point form – it MUST be in narrative (paragraph) form.
Case studies are to be 3 – 5 pages long (not including references). Follow these assignment protocols:
Microsoft Word document with 1” margins all around, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, and double-spaced work.  Failure to follow assignment protocols will result in a 10% loss in possible points. Additionally, cases should be free from grammatical errors.

SOAP Note (Progress Note) 
This assignment will demonstrate your ability to provide age-appropriate anticipatory guidance while recognizing the need to refer patients that are outside of the scope of practice of the nurse practitioner. This will be demonstrated by completing a SOAP note based on the patient seen in Unit 4 in the VR platform.
Write-ups
The progress note in SOAP format serves several purposes:
It is an important reference document that provides concise information about a patient’s history and exam findings at the time of patient visit.
It outlines a plan for addressing the issues which prompted the office visit. This information should be presented in a logical fashion that prominently features all of the data that’s immediately relevant to the patient’s condition.
It is a means of communicating information to all providers who are involved in the care of a particular patient.
It allows the NP student an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to accumulate historical and examination-based information, make use of their medical knowledge, and derive a logical plan of care.
Knowing what to include and what to leave out will be largely dependent on experience and your understanding of illness and pathophysiology. If, for example, you were unaware that chest pain is commonly associated with coronary artery disease, you would be unlikely to mention other coronary risk-factors when writing the history. As you gain experience, your write-ups will become increasingly focused. You can accelerate the process by actively seeking feedback about all the SOAP notes that you create, as well as by reading those written by more experienced practitioners.
The core aspects of the SOAP note are described in detail below.
For ease of learning, a SOAP Note Template has been provided. For this assignment, proper citation and referencing is required because this is an academic paper.
S: Subjective information. Everything the patient tells you. This includes several areas including the chief complaint (CC), the history of present illness (HPI), medical history, surgical history, family history, social history, medications, allergies, and other information gathered from the patient. A commonly used mnemonic to explore the core elements of the history of present illness (HPI) is OLD CARTS, which includes: Onset, Location, Duration, Characteristics, Aggravating factors, Relieving factors, Treatments, and Severity.
O: Objective is what you see, hear, feel or smell. Your physical exam including vital signs.
A: Assessment/Your differentials
P: Plan of care including health promotion and disease prevention for the patient related to their age and gender.

Develop a graphic timeline for the implementation of the information below. Be sure to include the deadline or timeframe and a brief description for each if necessary for the following:
