Team members may not know you. You must introduce yourself, your practice role, and your professional relationship to the patient. ( My name is Heidi, I am a registered nurse at 7c med surgical unit at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital)
This patient situation could be an experience you have had during your time as a nurse or clinical or it could be a made-up (realistic) scenario.
Use an evidence-based communication strategy when voicing your concerns to the interdisciplinary team.
The video recording should be less than 90 seconds.
You must be visible on camera. When recording, consider your appearance, audio, and background.
Upload your video to the discussion board along with the following written summary.
Share the rationale for the evidence-based communication tool you used.

Provide rationale for your response with at least one scholarly source using an APA in-text citation and full reference.
Climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same phenomenon. What are the differences between the two concepts and what leads to the confusion between them?
The United Nations (UN) has hired you as a consultant, and your task is to assess the impact that global warming is expected to have on population growth and the ability of societies in the developing world to ensure the adequate security of their food supplies.
Case Assessment
As the worlds population nears 10 billion by 2050, the effects of global warming are stripping some natural resources from the environment. As they diminish in number, developing countries will face mounting obstacles to improving the livelihoods of their citizens and stabilizing their access to enough food. The reason these governments are struggling even now is that our climate influences their economic health and the consequent diminishing living standards of their people. Climate changes are responsible for the current loss of biodiversity as well as the physical access to some critical farming regions. As such, these changes in global weather patterns diminish agricultural output and the distribution of food to local and international markets. These difficulties will become even more significant for these countries as the Earths climate changes for the worse. Temperatures are already increasing incrementally, and polar ice caps are melting, so the salient question is: what does this suggest for developing societies?
The issue before the developing world is not its lack of food, but rather how to gain access to food. Simply put, changes in our climate are affecting the global food chain, and hence, the living standards of entire populations. Added to this is the fact that food is not getting to where it is needed in time to prevent hunger or starvation. In many developing countries, shortages are due to governments control over distribution networks rather than an insufficient supply of food itself. In effect, these governments are weaponizing food by favoring certain ethnic or religious groups over others. When added to the dramatic climate changes that we are experiencing even now, the future for billions of poor people looks increasingly dim.
Instructions
You are to write a persuasive paper for the UN that addresses the following questions about the relationship between atmospheric weather patterns and food security in the developing world:
Climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same phenomenon. What are the differences between the two concepts and what leads to the confusion between them?
In 1900, the average global temperature was about 13.7° Celsius (56.7° Fahrenheit) (Osborn, 2021), but as of 2020, the temperature has risen another 1.2°C to 14.9°C (58.9°F). According to the Earth and climate science community, if the Earths surface temperature rises another 2°C (3.6°F), we will suffer catastrophic weather patterns that, among other things, will raise sea levels, cause widespread droughts and wildfires, result in plant, insect, and animal extinctions, and reduce agricultural productivity throughout the world (Mastroianni, 2015 and Lindsey & Dahlman, 2020). How much credibility do you place in these projections? Why?
There is no question that the Earths food sources are threatened by changes in its weather patterns, but what specific challenges does climate change pose to the food security of people in the developing world?
There is currently a debate among some multinational lending agencies like the International Monetary Fund, UNICEF, and AID over the financial support for food security that has been misused by recipient government officials. On the other hand, U.S. authorities insist that misuse of its assistance is not occurring because it has strict monitoring oversight in place. What is your position on this matter? Is there evidence that financial assistance to developing governments is being widely misused by government officials?

Assessment Description
Professionals with a degree in TESOL may consider the role of a coordinator for language programs (e.g., SEI, ESL, ELL, ELD, bilingual/dual) so it is important to understand the skillset involved in this position. The ability to personally collaborate with other professionals, as well as promote collaboration among all stakeholders, is a skill that can help in the sharing of knowledge and resources to galvanize others in goals befitting the learning of ELLs. Which stakeholders in the school, community, and district office are available to teachers, and how each stakeholder can offer support to ELLs socially, linguistically, and academically.The language program coordinator is often invited to present at new teacher orientations, staff meetings, district meetings, and training.

Use the school and district where you currently teach or research a local school/district for the context of this assignment.
Part 1: Collaboration Presentation

Describe how knowledge related to social psychology and personality will better equip you when interacting with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds or belief systems. memories arent always as
Individual, Group, or Societal Behavior
Regarding life, every one of us has our own viewpoint and set of beliefs. These have to do with how two crucial elements are interpreted: the environment in which a person is raised and their subjective perception of that environment. I hope this section of them may help you gain some understanding of the intricate aspects of physical health. Growing up, I was raised by my uncle and aunt, who instilled in their three children the values of respect for elders, others, and taking responsibility for our actions. I experienced personal problems in life, like many others, and I’ve learned from them. I used to be social. I participated in a lot of activities and sports throughout high school. but gained knowledge over time. That the majority of the individuals I would consider friends would simply use me for their own gain. This experience has had a significant impact on who I am now, and I believe it has contributed to my current job path. From a very young age, I developed the ability to be quite independent of myself, and with time, I strengthened that life skill. I struggled with family issues in my later years, which had an impact on how I conducted business, moved states, and obtained new employment.
