Our Course Objective (CO) for this week (PO):

1 - Employ strategies to affect the development, implementation, and consequences of policies at the institutional, local, national, and international levels.

2 - Analyze the historical, ethical, and political contexts of health care policy, and the consequences of policy implementation.

3 - Advocate for institutional, local, national, and international policies that influence healthcare and its consumers, as well as nurses and their nursing practice

Given the power of the media, discuss how you would use an opinion editorial, a personal interview, websites, texting, Facebook, Twitter, and/or blogs to influence public opinion relative to your policy priority. What issues about media and electronic social networking do you need to consider? Why?
