As a health policy professional leader, communicating with lay audiences is an important skill in promoting the health of the community for master prepared registered nurses. Develop a concise position statement regarding research findings and recommendations by experts as they relate to workplace support for breast feeding mothers, medical marijuana services in the community, genetic testing or applications of stem cell research or a community service administered by Family Nurse Practitioners (if you pick this one be specific about the type of community service). Make sure your evidence supports your cause. The neurodevelopmental benefits of breastfeeding, as well as the short and longterm benefits of it, are well known facts (Bettinelli, 2012). The benefits of breastfeeding are so strong that it should be seen as a public health issue instead of solely a choice of lifestyle (Bettinelli, 2012). The world Health Organization suggests babies receive only breast milk for the first six months of their lives, then solid foods can be incorporated but breastfeeding should continue to two years of age (Smith, McIntyre, Craig, Javanparast, Strazdins, & Mortensen, 2013).
