Discussion Post

 

Ethical Principles

Discuss and analyze the situation according to the ethical principles that you have learned in this chapter. How would the use of a different priority of ethical principles affect possible outcomes?

  • A high school student with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) wishes to attend class.
  • A student has confided to a school worker that her father is sexually abusing her. She does not want her mother, who is a teacher at the school, to know and does not want the nurse or the counselor or principal to discuss this with anyone

BON comparison

Post a comparison of Delaware and Pennsylvania APRN board of nursing regulations. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience.

Cognitive behavior Therapy vs Rational EmotiveBehaviour Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychological therapy used in treating patients with depression and to incite happiness in the patient. The therapy approaches the problem by targeting at the solution to the problem more than going back to the causes. On the other hand, rational emotive behavioral therapy, majorly known as REBT, is also another psychotherapy used to solve problems concerning stress. This therapy uses the replacement of self-rejecting feelings in a depressed person with self-believe and confidence (Ellis, 2013). The therapy challenges the rationale of bad thoughts about self.

There are a number of similarities that both therapies share, these include: Both of the therapies employ psychoeducation in the treatment of stress, the therapies also teach the patient on how to employ therapeutic techniques in treating themselves (Szentagotai, David, Lupu, & Cosman, 2008). Another similarity between the two therapies is that emphasis is laid on the importance of cognitive psychological dysfunction and they all focus on changing the behavior of the patient through their various different approaches. 

Differences in the therapies

Despite these similarities, the two therapies have variations which distinguish them. These differences include; Self- acceptance: the rational emotive behavior therapy focuses on the self-acceptance of the patient. It encourages the patient to accept themselves back and try to see the positive in them and stop blaming themselves about the past. The cognitive behavior therapy, on the other hand, is more concerned about the self-esteem of the patient (Szentagotai, David, Lupu, & Cosman, 2008). 

The philosophy: the rational emotive behavior therapy earns more credit because it concerns in digging deeper into the philosophic causes of stress and try to encourage the patient to focus on the positive and wipe out the negative from their minds. Cognitive behavior therapy is attached more importance in the future of the patient rather than the cause of the problem. The therapy builds the self-esteem of the patient through encouragement and giving them the hope of a better future.

Solution approach: while the rational emotive behavior therapy approaches the problem from the past point of view and tries to educate the patient on the importance of viewing the positive side of the problem than focusing on the negative. The cognitive behavior therapy, on the other hand, approaches it from the current point of the situation and start tech the patient to attach value on themselves.

The recommended therapy

The cognitive behavior model is the best therapy to be recommended for a client. I will base my decision on various factors implying that this type of therapy is superior. The philosophical approach to the problem in this therapy is realistic since it considers the personality of the patient as the main source of the solution (Dobson, & Dozois, (Eds.), 2019). The therapy educates the patient on their own importance as compared to the issue which is a mere episode in their lives. The therapy also has more persuasive techniques that can be used to convince a patient to transform their thinking.

re to this discussion post (site sources if applicable).

Evidence-based practice and research allow nurses to improve the nursing profession and improve patient outcomes. Once these improvements are made, they can be published in a professional journal or delivered at a nursing or health care conference. A professional journal that I would like to publish my article of improvement would be the American Journal of Nursing. “The American Journal of Nursing is the oldest and most honored broad-based nursing journal in the world. Peer-reviewed and evidence-based, it is considered the profession’s premier journal” (Powers, Dunlap, Cipriano, Fields & Kiser, n.d). With the nursing journal being around for so long, it’s important to understand the reliability. Because of its long-standing time of informing and educating nurses, I think that my change would be best if represented by the American Journal of Nursing. 

     One of the most recognized and popular nursing conferences is the Emergency Nurses Association Conference. The Emergency Nurses Association specialized in educating and informing emergency room nurses for a lifelong of learning. I would present my presentation/project proposal to the ENA, to spread the light on workplace violence. Workplace violence is a common problem in Emergency rooms all over the world. It is important that I am one voice that will fight for a change and to spread the knowledge around the world. The ENA thrives and believes in collaboration, mutual respect, integrity, lifelong learning, and honesty and through these values, I can work to create a change with these values in place.

Evidence-Based Capstone Project, Part 6: Disseminating Results

The dissemination of EBP results serves multiple important roles. Sharing results makes the case for your decisions. It also adds to the body of knowledge, which creates opportunities for future practitioners. By presenting results, you also become an advocate for EBP, creating a culture within your organization or beyond that informs, educates, and promotes the effective use of EBP.

To Prepare:

  • Review the final PowerPoint presentation you submitted in Module 5, and make any necessary changes based on the feedback you have received and on lessons you have learned throughout the course.
  • Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

To Complete:

Create a 5-minute, 5- to 6-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.

  • Be sure to incorporate any feedback or changes from your presentation submission in Module 5.
  • Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

Submit Part 6, your revised PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.
