The Cancer Global Problem

From a global/nationwide perspective, how does the selected practice problem impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided?

Cancer makes up a national problem based on the global burden of disease. The ailment makes up a key issue based on the increase in the number of victims affected with the ailment. Apparently, the numbers keep increasing rather than decreasing creating a major health issue that needs to be positively addressed based on the issues that seem to surround it. Within the United states the number of people with cancer us at 1.8 million (Seffrin, 2017). Around the globe, the number is recorded to be at 18.1 million. The recorded deaths on the year 2018 were at 9.6 million. The figures clearly indicate that the ailment is a rising concern in the society that needs to be appropriately addressed based on the implication that surrounds the matter. Based on the number cancer is a problem that appropriate measures needs to be taken to address.

Nurses makes up the individuals that are widely affected with the practice. This is because they are the individuals that offer primary care to the patients. After the patients are diagnosed with the ailments and have undergone through various treatment levels, nurses have the duty of ensuring that they receive primary case. The nursing care for the affected individuals is a continuous process that needs to be handled through the observation of the correct practices that needs to be observed (Gwede & McDermott, 2016). The healthcare organizations make up the key bodies that might be affected with the practice if appropriate caution is not taken. The pressure for the organization to have the latest equipment that facilitates the treatment of the issue is a dominant case that needs to be appropriately addressed. The improvement of care quality is a dominant issue that needs to be positively addressed and reflected upon.

Identify the national-level key stakeholders who are affected by the practice problem and stakeholders involved in the resolution.

The health department makes up the key stakeholder that is affected by the problem. They are the body that provide the nation with the direction that needs to be taken. The matter is based on the financing of research and important ideals that needs to be observed to ensure that long term measures are put in place to handle the matter in an appropriate way. the focus is reflecting on the positive measures that needs to be taken to the interest of the country. The CDC is the other body affected with the practice. They provide the directions in terms of treatment and awareness that needs bro be achieved by the country. It is a dominant factor that calls for the correct rive action to deal with the issue in an appropriate way.

Are clinical practice guidelines used to address this problem? Why or why not? If used, provide a brief overview of the CPG. If a CPG is not used, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a national scale to address the problem.

The existence of a clinical guidance in dealing with the matter calls for the creation of predominant measures that are focused on presenting options that are relevant to observe and reflect upon. It is a positive measure that is focused on the presentation of goals that are likely to reflect on the interest of the learners alone. The use of cancer screening makes up one of the common CPG that is applied in the case (Stjernswärd, 2018). It is the only way to identify the various forms of cancer affecting the society. It calls for a long-term measure that would ensure that the matter is handled before it negatively affects the society in terms of application and other respective measures involved in the process. The national intervention measures need to focus on the wide scale coverage to ensure that the matter is appropriately handled.
