Part 2: A Plan for Social Change Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader. In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader. Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change

How I Would Advocate for the Incorporation of a Global Perspective in My Role as a Nurse Leader.

Nurse leaders need to respond to different global issues such as epidemics through coordinated response (Corless et al., 2018). One of the ways this can be achieved is through collecting and sharing information on how to address the pertinent health issues. As nurse leaders, we can advocate for the incorporation of global perspectives into local practice by providing evidence-based information on initiatives that have worked in different global settings.

How Incorporation of a Global Perspective Impacts my Role as a Nurse Leader.

Having a global perspective provides alternative strategies that could be used to address different health issues. As a nurse leader, I would collect and analyze the data collected from the different strategies and use those that are workable to advocate for better patient outcomes. Different global perspectives could be used as a basis for implementing more efficient cost-effective interventions in addressing pertinent health care issues such as HIV.

How the Incorporation of a Global Perspective Contributes to Social Change

Having different perspectives through analysis of different approaches used in other countries can provide a great platform through which nurses can employ foreign solutions to local social issues. As nurse leaders, we are required to integrate available evidence from different sources that could result in better patient outcomes (Milstead & Short, 2019). For example, many patients with chronic diseases end up becoming impoverished due to the treatment costs attached. Obtaining innovative solutions that could address the various disease end up having a positive on the social welfare of those who would have otherwise been affected,
