On February 27, 1992, In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Stella Liebeck and her grandson went to the local McDonalds to get breakfast. The grandson Chis was driving his 1989 Ford Probe with his grandmother Stella sitting in the passenger seat. Chris's car did not have cup holders so Stella had to put the cup of coffee in between her knees in order to add cream and sugar. During this process, Stella spilled the entire cup of coffee on her lap. Stella received third-degree burns to her groin, buttocks and thighs resulting from the scalding coffee. Stella was taken to the hospital where she stayed for over a week and underwent skin graphing treat the burns. Worst of all, as if suffering third-degree burns wasn't enough, Stella was partially disabled…

Significant changes are required in health care, and the profession of nursing in particular, to meet the mandates required by the 2010 passage of healthcare reform laws. Such new options for illness prevention and wellness through health promotion will provide greater opportunities for nurses to work outside the traditional hospital settings. Nurses are best equipped to provide safe, quality, patient-centered care in an affordable and accessible manner. Appropriate use of primary, secondary, and tertiary health promotion strategies, including health risk modification education, individual treatment regiments to achieve maximized health, and use of disease and dysfunction treatments and modification strategies to improve function and well-being are important all through the treatment lifecycle (Jones-Parker, 2012).…

Millions of American’s are affected by mental health illnesses. As a nurse I understand that mental health illnesses have no respect of person. The National Alliance on Mental Illness reported that approximately 61.5 million Americans are affected by mental illness in a given year, and almost 13.6 million individuals live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression, or bipolar disorder (National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2013). http://www.nami.org/factsheets/mentalillness_factsheet.pdf. Further, data revealed that 20 percent of youth ages 13 to 18 years old have experienced severe mental disorders within a given year, and about 13 percent of these populations are pediatrics patients that range between the ages of ages 8 to 15 years old. The United States spends nearly $193.2 billion per year on mental health diseases (NAMI, 2013) proving that mental health illnesses are a major public health concern. Crises around the world have caused a greater shift in the efforts to promote wellness within communities. Public health priorities are more geared towards communities working together to combat the devastating tragedies that continue to affect many schools and communities within the United States. It has been estimated that by the year 2020 depression will be the second largest killer, and many communities and schools have already begin to experience the horrific repercussions. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop a health advocacy campaign that will more readily identify mental health illnesses as well as explore realistic methods to promote policies as well as improve community health outcomes.…
