Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Assume that you are the manager in your chosen health care facility in the medical records department. Your boss has asked you to assist him in preparing a talk to the other department employees on the most important ethical issues they might face in working in medical records.
Identify two of the biggest ethical issues that medical records employees may face, and discuss why these issues are so important to be aware of. 
Be sure to provide a properly referenced rationale for your choices. 
Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 200-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions:
What did you learn from your classmate’s posting? What additional questions do you have after reading the posting? 
What clarification do you need regarding the posting? 
What differences or similarities do you see between your posting and other classmates’ postings? 

Part A (40%)
Critically review the evidence for the role that physical
activity can play in the management of type 2 diabetes.
Part B (60%)
Briefly
describe the levels of activity among people living with diabetes in your own
setting (you can define this as country, region, or your own health care
organisation). Then drawing on your learning about behaviour change, structured
education and physical activity suggest changes in advice or policy which may
enhance patient’s participation in physical activity.

3. Personal Experiences: Use the body of your essay to narrate your journey. Discuss any clinical experiences, volunteer work, or personal encounters that have prepared you for a career as a PA. Be honest and introspective.

Develop a hypothetical health promotion plan, 3-4 pages in length, addressing a specific health concern for an individual or a group living in the community.
For this assessment, plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on health
promotion associated with a specific community health concern or health need. Completing this
assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group
participation, and this assessment will also provide the foundation for the implementation of your
health promotion educational plan in Assessment 4.
Before you complete the detailed instructions in the courseroom, first review the specific
community health concerns or health needs below and select one to be the focus of your
assessment. Each of these health concerns has broad implications not only for the individuals
directly affected but also for the community at large in terms of healthcare costs, societal well-
being, and overall quality of life.
• Obesity: A medical condition where excess body fat accumulates to the extent that it
may have a negative effect on health.
o Potential Health Impacts: Increases the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, certain
cancers, and can lead to reduced life expectancy and quality of life.
• Diabetes: A group of diseases that result in high blood sugar.
o Potential Health Impacts: Can lead to complications like heart disease, stroke,
kidney disease, eye problems, and nerve damage.
• Drug and Alcohol Abuse: The habitual misuse of drugs and alcohol.
o Potential Health Impacts: Can lead to addiction, mental health disorders, liver
diseases, respiratory issues, cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, and other
debilitating conditions.

Please complete THREE health policy prompts. Each assignment response should be minimum 300 words EACH (exclusive of headings, etc). Each should include at least 3 SCHOLARLY references. 
Assignment 1: 
Satel,
S., & Torrey, E. (Spring, 2016). Prescription for mental-health
policy. National Affairs, 27, 1–22. 
The problem we have today is that the system is geared more
toward mental health than severe mental illness. In fact, the federal
government’s lead agency on mental health, the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration, part of the Department of Health and Human
Services, has explicitly stated this as its goal. Rather than focusing on
reducing homelessness, hospitalization, or incarceration among people with
serious mental illness, it concentrates federal and state efforts on delivering
amorphous “behavioral health” to everyone else. This is profoundly misguided.
But it may not be surprising after a half-century of inept leadership, Medicaid’s
financial incentives gone awry, and clashing ideas about the nature of the
forces (psychological, biological, and social) that lead to psychopathology—and
that, in turn, point toward the best possible therapeutic strategies. Ours is a
problem-ridden system that could be markedly improved with strong political
leadership. We need a mental-illness system in which care for the sickest of
the sick is a priority. If the federal government intends to take mental
illness seriously, Congress and the next administration must be keenly
responsive to the most vulnerable patients.
“We
need a mental-illness system in which care for the sickest of the sick is a
priority.” For many of the sickest of the sick, the options we discussed in
class are often very bleak, including homelessness and imprisonment.
Provide
your reasoned opinions of what policies should be initiated to more effectively
deal with the “problem-ridden” system regarding the care of the most severely
mentally ill.
You must provide support
for what you are proposing. In your response, you should specifically include
your views on the passage above.
Assignment 2: 
The
War on Drugs many believe began in the 1970s. Few could say we are winning this
war and many would say we are losing it. Provide your reasoned opinion
concerning what you believe would be effective policy measures in dealing with
the opioid epidemic.
Assignment 5: 
Unfortunately,
COVID-19 has had a higher incidence and prevalence in communities where there
are greater concentrations of minority and poor populations. Unfortunately,
too, mortality from the disease was more likely in these populations.
We
still in this country have so many vulnerable populations who experience access
to care disparities as well as health outcome disparities.
What
policies would you seek to initiate that could perhaps better address these
disparities? Support your selections.
