Assessment 3

  • PRINT
  • Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy 
  • Write a 3–5 page letter to the editor of an academic or professional journal. Your submission should be succinct yet substantive.
    Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
    Advocating for new policies is an important aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.
    SHOW LESSAnother aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.
    By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

    • Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes. 
      • Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
      • Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
    • Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes. 
      • Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
    • Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy. 
      • Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
      • Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
    • Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards. 
      • Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
      • Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

  • Toggle DrawerContextNurses have the opportunity to use their skills and develop programs to keep individuals and communities healthy. Health is complex however, and the nurse needs to possess strong advocacy skills to successfully support a cause or interest. The American Nurses Association’s code of ethics (2015) describes the responsibility of a nurse to include working through and with appropriate stakeholders to advocate for the health of people in and out of the work environment. To be an effective advocate, there are several important abilities a nurse must possess, including problem solving, communication, and influencing others. One way a nurse can advocate to a broader population is through effective letter writing, both to legislators and through the media, such as with editorials and research articles.

  • Assessment InstructionsScenario
    Throughout this course, you have focused on a specific health issue occurring within a specific population. You researched position papers regarding this health concern, and you developed a health policy proposal to positively impact the health of the affected individuals. It is now time to reach a greater audience regarding your policy proposal.
    Instructions
    Develop a letter to the editor of a peer-reviewed academic or professional nursing journal based on the policy proposal that you created for Assessment 2. Choose from one of the journals on the Ultimate List of Nursing Journals (in the Resources) and go to that journal’s Web site to find out the requirements for submitting a letter to the editor, such as format requirements, topics, and word counts. Make sure you select a nursing journal that covers the topic about which you are going to write. If you want to use another journal that is not on this list, please make sure the journal does address health care, because this is the purpose of the assessment.
    The goal of your letter is to be informative about the policy that you developed for Assessment 2, while also being persuasive about the need for and benefit of similar policies in other health care settings. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your submission addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy Scoring Guide and Guiding Questions: Letter to the Editor: Population Health Policy Advocacy document to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.

    • Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
      • Look back to the data or scenario you used in Assessment 1 to address this criterion.
    • Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
    • Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
    • Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
    • Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
    • Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
    • Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style (or the journal’s preferred style).

      Additional Requirements
      The submission requirements for your editorial will depend on the journal you choose. To find out the requirements, go to the journal’s Web site. There should be a section regarding submissions that will address how to format letters to the editor, and whether there is a word count limit (there usually is a limit).
    • If the journal does not have submission guidelines for the number of resources required, use 3–5 sources.
    • To be sure that your instructor knows the submission and formatting requirements for your letter, include the journal’s guidelines on a separate page at the end of the document you submit for this assessment.
    • Length of submission: 3–5 double-spaced typed pages. Your submission should be succinct yet substantive.

A6 Home health

Read the following case study and submit a 1500 – 2000 word paper that addresses the case study and the questions at the end of the case study. 

Mr. B. is an 83 year old male referred to home health services following a hospital admission for congestive heart failure. His payor source is Medicare (traditional). He lives alone and indicates he does not have sufficient financial resources to afford private-pay in home supportive care. His daughter, who lives in the neighboring county about 30 miles away, has offered her father to move in with her – he has refused and she is not “forcing the issue”. Mr. B. is also not open to discussing moving to an assisted living environment.

This is his third hospital admission for the same problem over the last 12 months and his second admission to a home health agency. He was discharged from the previous home health agency 6 weeks ago. Physician orders are for the home health agency to provide skilled nursing for assessment of his cardiac condition and to teach him about his care and medication regime. Physical therapy has been ordered to establish a home exercise program. Home health aide services have been ordered 3 times a week to assist Mr. B. with his personal care needs.

By the end of the third week of service, it is clear to the RN Case Manager that Mr. B. is not making progress to the established goals. She reports during case conference that he is not a good candidate for teaching because of intermittent confusion and forgetfulness. According to the nurse, no matter what she has tried to teach him and regardless of the aids she has used, Mr. B. continues to take is medication incorrectly. She states, “I know he needs services, but I am not sure that he is in the right environment. I am concerned about Mr. B. – I am not sure why his daughter won’t just step up and put her foot down.”

The physical therapist reports at case conference that the “client lacks motivation”. The home exercise program has been established with Mr. B.; however, he does not complete the exercises between therapy visits.

An improvement in his personal hygiene has been noted with the Home Health Aide (HHA) services. The HHA has also been successful in decluttering his living space. The HHA reports that she is concerned that he is not eating regular meals.

This situation offers an ethical challenge to the professional caregivers and to the agency for which they work. 

Discuss how you would handle this ethical dilemma. Address the following questions as a part of your response:

  1. What are your concerns about this case?
  2. How does the RN Case Manager meet her ethical responsibilities to the patient and to the organization?
  3. What is the best plan of action to ensure the client’s safety and well-being?
  4. What are realistic outcomes and goals for this client?
  5. Who will provide the ongoing care needs required by this client?

Fundamentals of Nursing

 

Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance 

1. You are a nurse who frequently cares for post-surgical patients in your hospital unit. Most of the medical-surgical patients have IV fluids infusing during their admission. Due to the frequent use of IV fluids on your floor, understanding fluid balance and electrolyte function is primary to your nursing practice.  a. What conditions might lead to the development of hypovolemia? b. How would the amount of patient fluid loss be determined? c. Describe how hypovolemia and third-space fluid shifts correlate. d. Outline the major difference between hypovolemia and third-space fluid shift. e. Which conditions can result in third-space fluid shift? 

2. You are a nurse in a nonsurgical cardiac unit caring for a 92-year-old patient who has two sons, 15 grandchildren, and 49 great-grandchildren. She lives in assisted living and has a history of congestive heart failure (CHF). She consistently struggles with balancing her fluids and electrolytes and has an affinity for dill pickles and sauerkraut. While hospitalized, she remains on a fluid restriction—much to her chagrin, as she loves ice cream.  a. What within her history would indicate she was at risk for hypervolemia? b. How would dill pickles and sauerkraut impact her fluid volume?c. What body areas offer observational evidence of excessive interstitial extracellular fluid (ECF)? d. Why would your patient be on a strict fluid restriction while hospitalized? e. Outline nursing interventions used while a patient is on fluid restriction.
