Directions for Part 2

1. For this part of the direct care project, you will be creating a PowerPoint presentation based on the topic and problem identified in Part 1. If you chose air quality as your topic, you will present on the Air Quality Flag Program. If you chose substance use, you will present the SBIRT intervention model.

If you have chosen substance use, you will present to at least 3 practicing RN’s. You can present all at one time or individually. If you chose air quality, you will present to at least one organization leader. See the Direct Care Project module for FAQs.

1. Each topic has separate directions.

1. View the Direct Care Project Part 2 Tutorial  (Links to an external site.)
2. Download the template below and create a PowerPoint presentation for your selected group.
3. Create speaker notes for the PowerPoint presentation. These will assist you as you present and will be part of your assignment submission.
4. Utilize your own words and paraphrasing for all presentation content.
5. The presentation should be no fewer than 8 and no more than 15 slides.This does not include the introduction and reference slides.
6. Submit presentation in PDF for instructor approval. See Submitting PowerPoint Notes Pages in PDF format (Links to an external site.)

• You will present the PowerPoint to your audience, not the PDF, as you do not want the speaker notes to show to your audience members.

1. Note: You may not present until your presentation has been approved by your instructor.
   • Review comments about your presentation from your instructor in Grades. Your instructor will indicate what (if any) revisions are needed in your presentation and if it is approved to present as-is or once revisions are made.

**You may be instructed to resubmit depending on the revisions needed.

1. After your presentation is approved, see Week 5: Direct Care Project Part 3: Implementing Your Presentation. This is where you will find:

• Attendance form
• Pre-survey
• Post-survey

***The surveys you will give your audience pre and post presentation are already developed. You will submit the attendance form with the Part 4 submission and utilize the survey data in the Part 4 assignment. ***

Discussion: Gathering of Relevant Information

Previous Next 

Make sure to review the Module Overview on the Module 1 home page before responding to the Discussion question.

• Outline the first three things/steps you will do as you begin your investigation. For example, will you begin by doing some research about the disease? Or would you begin by interviewing Sara? Would you interview someone at the agency? If so, who? Or would you do something else? Please explain your rationale. 

What are your thoughts 

When following and discussing problems with my preceptor we both had similar problems in common within our facilities. One of the major problems is readmission rates. Patients on the behavioral health unit have poor follow up care. In Texas there is not a lot of options for mental health outpatient, especially for those who are indigent. So case managers and social workers struggle to find good follow up care. “Medicare states that certain diseases will have decreased funds if patients are readmitted within 30 days, behavioral health patients somewhat fall under that umbrella.”(CMS,2020). These patients reimbursements are lowed if they are readmitted. The facilities can often struggle finically from these lower rates. One nurse implication for this would be to make sure to start teaching the patient about medication management as soon as the patient is admitted. If patients feel that they can manage their symptoms and understand depression and suicide and go to therapy to get to the core of what is going on then they can manage these problems at home and find support from family or friends they have a lower readmission rate. Also involving the family in the care and medication management helps with managing behaviors. Reaching out to the patients primary care physicians can also help with follow up treatments. 

Another problem that we discussed is one that I feel happens everywhere, nurse burnout causing a shortage. On our units we often have to work overtime due to not having enough staff. When we are working over our three 12 hour shifts most of us start to get burnout and eventually change departments or quit. This happen throughout most units in a facility. Another nursing implication for this is to help build team moral, the nurses who start to experience burnout should go to the team leads and be able to express their feelings. The managers in the units should utilize PRN employees or hire more PRN staff to help fill in the holes in the schedule. Funding doesn’t always allow for this but as the advocator for the unit they can reach out to the float pool and help so full time nurses can have the days off that are needed sometimes.

Chapter 10: Cultural Competence: Awareness, Sensitivity, and Respect

Think for a while about cultural practices and how they affect health or illness in your own family. They may be difficult to identify as such at first, but they do exist. What ideas about illness prevention does your family adhere to? What do you do when someone gets sick? What rituals does your family practice when someone dies?

For this Assignment, you will practice communicating your project topic, findings, and recommendations in the context of one dissemination method: a conference. 

Specifically, you will develop an abstract for a poster session based on your Practicum Project. The call for abstracts comes from Phi Nu, Walden’s chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, and is representative of others you may see in the field.

To prepare: 

• Review      the Writing Center materials on conference proposals and presentations and      on writing concisely.
• Download      and complete the Poster Abstract Template found in the Learning Resources.      Answer the questions in numerical order and write concisely.
• Tip:      When submitting abstracts through juried/peer-reviewed processes,      follow exact directions. Do not give reviewers a reason to eliminate      your abstract. As future scholar-practitioners, you will      submit abstracts to disseminate scholarly works. It is imperative      that you follow exact directions.
