Selected Problem: Caring for Pregnant Client with Substance Abuse

Develop infographic of a preliminary care coordination plan for a selected healthcare problem identified from the Sentinel-U Family Assessment v5. You determine which healthcare problem you will use FROM the simulation. Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for this healthcare problem. Listen to the patient simulation and select one of issues the simulated patient discusses. Identify and list available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.
Overview
Imagine that you are a staff nurse in a community care center. Your facility has always had a dedicated case management staff that coordinated the patient plan of care, but recently, there were budget cuts and the case management staff has been relocated to the inpatient setting. Care coordination is essential to the success of effectively managing patients in the community setting, so you have been asked by your nurse manager to take on the role of care coordination. You are a bit unsure of the process, but you know you will do a good job because, as a nurse, you are familiar with difficult tasks. As you take on this expanded role, you will need to plan effectively in addressing the specific health concerns of community residents.
Instruction
Choose a specific healthcare problem from the simulation and create an infographic that visually represents a care coordination plan.
Selected Problem: Caring for Pregnant Client with Substance Abuse

Select one health concern and a patient population from the Family Support and Home Assessments v5 Sentinel-U simulation. There are several potential issues mentioned in the interview. 
Analyze your selected health concern and the associated best practices for health improvement.
Address the following content elements in your analysis:
Best practices: Summarize evidence-based best practices related to the chosen healthcare problem from the simulation.
Physical considerations: Address physical aspects of care (for example, medications, treatments, safety, food insecurity, childhood immunizations, etcetera).
Psychosocial considerations: Consider mental health, emotional support, and patient coping strategies.
Cultural considerations: Recognize cultural diversity and tailor care accordingly.
Describe two specific SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) goals that should be established to address the healthcare problem and the evidence to support those goals.
Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations of your specific patient population.
Identify available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.
Compile a list of community resources relevant to the healthcare problem.
