An inpatient care plan focuses on care during hospitalization and includes short-term goals, while a discharge plan outlines care after leaving the hospital and includes long-term goals and responsibility transfers. Sections on short- and long-term goals and responsibility transfers would be most relevant for human services professionals. Improved sanitation and hygiene practices, such as increased access to clean water and sewage systems, have had the biggest impact on public health by preventing widespread disease and laying the foundation for continued progress. Evidence-based practices like physical and occupational therapy can help improve Jean's mobility and ability to complete activities of daily living across settings like hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare. These practices aim to improve her quality

1. Part 1: 250 words
Referring to the inpatient care plan and discharge plan examples
in the module resources, discuss the following:
What do you see as the main differences between an inpatient
care plan and a discharge plan? What might be included in one
but not the other?
Which sections of the inpatient care plan and discharge plan
might contain the most relevant information for human services
professionals and why?
Part 2: 250 words
After perusing this module’s textbook reading, you should have
a sense of the impact of public health on the progress of
societies and mankind.
Some interventions throughout modern history stand out as
especially important. Your task is to select the one that has had
the most impact on public health and explain why your choice is
really the biggest.
As you answer the “why” question, consider how widespread
the innovation reached, the forward leap it was for mankind,
and the foundation it laid for further progress.
Post your original message including the public health
milestone that had the most impact and why.
Part 3: 250 words (Jean Case story Attached)
It is important to be able to identify evidence-based methods

2. and practices and to recognize how these practices are used for
specific clients in appropriate settings. This journal activity will
allow you to think through these important actions and to
continue reflecting on the case study that you will address in
your final project.
First, review the case study in the Final Project Guidelines and
Rubric document and select one of the following issues or
conditions from the case study:
Mobility issues
Assistance with activities of daily living
Difficulty paying bills
Stroke
Trauma
Then identify evidence-based practices that might be used with
a patient like Jean across at least two different settings:
Hospital
Rehabilitation center
Home healthcare
Hospice
In 250 to 300 words, explain how evidenced-based practices can
be used to assist Jean and improve her quality of life, regarding
one issue or condition
across at least
two different settings
. Ideally, the practices you discuss will be relevant in multiple

3. settings, but you may need to explain how these practices can
be adjusted to fit certain settings.
Remember to always approach the issue from the perspective of
a
human services professional
as opposed to that of a healthcare professional such as a nurse
or a doctor.
