Children face special risks from air pollution because their
\nairways are small and still developing, and because they breathe more rapidly
\nand inhale more air relative to their size than do adults. In addition, the
\nbody\u2019s defenses that help adults fight off infections are still developing in
\nchildren. Growing up breathing high levels of air pollution can affect how
\nchildren’s lungs develop, putting them at greater risk of lung disease as they
\nage.<\/p>\n
Exposure to air pollution can affect everyone\u2019s health. Air
\npollutants can enter our bloodstream and contribute to coughing or itchy eyes
\nand cause or worsen many breathing and lung diseases, leading to
\nhospitalizations, cancer, or even premature death.<\/p>\n
Air pollution causes both immediate and long-term health
\neffects in children that can be irreversible. Air pollution is linked to
\nrespiratory conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis and asthma. It can
\nexacerbate underlying health conditions and harm children’s physical and
\ncognitive development.<\/p>\n

The Code of Ethics for Nurses (American Nurses Association,
\n2015) Principle 9.4 calls for<\/p>\n
nurses to “advocate for policies, programs, and
\npractices within the healthcare environment that<\/p>\n
maintain, sustain, and repair the natural world” (p.
\n37). During a recent testimony for the<\/p>\n
Minnesota Climate Caucus, it was reported that nurses are
\nethically bound to recognize that<\/p>\n
“Social justice extends beyond human health and
\nwell-being to the health and well-being of the<\/p>\n
natural world” (p.37). Further, The Executive Summary
\nof the 2019 Lancet Countdown report<\/p>\n
warns: The life of every child born today will be profoundly
\naffected by climate change, with<\/p>\n
populations around the world increasingly facing extremes of
\nweather, food and water insecurity,<\/p>\n
changing patterns of infectious disease, and a less certain
\nfuture. Without accelerated<\/p>\n
intervention, this new era will come to define the health of
\npeople at every stage of their lives.<\/p>\n

Like a debate, a position paper presents one side of an
\narguable opinion about a topic or issue.<\/p>\n
The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience
\nthat your opinion is valid and defensible.<\/p>\n
Ideas that you are considering need to be carefully examined
\nin choosing a topic, developing<\/p>\n
your argument, and organizing your paper. Select a topic
\nrelated to how the environment affects<\/p>\n
the health of a population. Review and present the relevant
\nliterature. Your job is to take one<\/p>\n
side of the argument and persuade your audience that you
\nhave well-founded knowledge of the<\/p>\n
presented topic. It is important to support your argument
\nwith evidence to ensure the validity of<\/p>\n
your claims and to refute the counterclaims to show that you
\nare well informed about both sides.<\/p>\n
Be certain to consider all sides and present the issue
\nclearly. This paper is 35% of your grade for<\/p>\n
the course.<\/p>\n

\nto the topic- <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
\n \n
\n brief reason why it is a problem; implications for
\n public\/population\/community health; any policy issues<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
\nof the relevant literature – <\/span>This
\nis important; the literature supports the seriousness of the topic; and
\nprovides evidence of the problem, impact, etc. Sources should be from peer-reviewed
\nliterature; try to limit website sources<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nand presentation of the argument – <\/span>This
\nis your position. For example, if my topic was contaminated water in
\nFlint, Michigan; I might take the position that the Federal Government needs to
\nprovide more funds, oversight, etc. to remedy the situation.<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nof counterclaims – <\/span>Explain
\nbriefly, those who have a different perspective\/opinion\/position about the
\nsubject. In the example above, perhaps there are factions of the
\ngovernment that claim that the work is done and there is no need for additional
\nintervention. After you provide two counterclaims, describe why you feel
\ndifferently. In the case above, \u201cnew cases of lead poisoning are emerging
\nsince the end of the funding”, etc.<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nrole in the promotion of the health of – <\/span>Self-explanatory;
\nIs it participating in screening? Education? Attending community meetings? Are
\nthere any nursing-related organizations that support your actions and\/or this
\nissue?<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nof issue\u2019s relevance to nursing and health- <\/span>Why
\nas a community of nursing\/profession is the issue important? Think of our
\nclass, why are environmental issues important to nursing as a profession?<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
