H.R. 64: PATIENTS FIRST ACT OF 2019
IMPACT MY OWN NURSING PRACTICE
• Many people would want it, however treatments may not be covered by private
or public health insurance.
• Stem cell use would impact my own practice tremendously (see next slide for
disease and conditions stem cells treat)
• I would have to enhance my standards of practice
• I would have to educate my patients about stem cells
• This could also put me out of a job because these stem cells could cure people
• If effective this could change the world
DISEASE AND CONDITIONS THAT STEM CELLS TREAT
• Alzheimer's
• Arthritis
• Brain Damage
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Lupus
• Stroke
• Spinal cord injuries
• Liver Disease
COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES
• initiating policy proposals, changing or vetoing others’ proposals,
and/or substantially influencing the implementation of health policy
(Abrood 2017)
• I would have to first step outside my box and be a advocate for nursing
as a whole and speak with legislators and my peers regarding my
concerns.
• I can go to a local policy workshop and get more information on how to
go forward with making changes.
• Utilize the ANA foundation documents to get additional information on
Legitimate power.
HOW MIGHT THIS BILL IMPACT MY
COMMUNITY
• Give my community more education about stem cells and what they do
• If this bill is passed maybe some members of my community can
participate in human clinical trials
• If these stem cells work my community could change for the better.
Lots of people in my community don’t the money to pay for diabetic
supplies so being a human clinical trial participate may help their
diabetes.
• On the other hand there may be lots of complex ethical and legal
issues faced in the community
