week 6 assignment

ASSIGNMENT TOPIC: CHILD ABUSE/NEGLECT 

This week you are going to be completing your abstract for your paper and become familiar with recording your screen. As always, you will use the template for this assignment. This assignment relies very heavily on the formulaic way I want this section written. 

Essay Topic: Nursing Theorist

Hello, I have an essay due on December 5th. The essay must be about one nursing theorist, what their concepts are and how I would apply/use their concept in practice. 

The essay has to be in APA format(7th edition), double-spaced, font:times new roman, 12 pt, 4-6 pages (including title and reference page), and there has to be in-text citation. 

FINAL EXAM

  

The course content culminated with an examination of policy, and appropriate end point because every previous topic influences policy and policy impacts each area of healthcare.

For the final examination, select a healthcare related policy — either one in existence or (more difficult) one you would propose — and in a 3 – 5 page paper explain its purpose and impact. 

As this is a cumulative examination, your analysis must include how the policy influences some or all of the realms explored this semester. In other words, this is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the complexities of healthcare.

In considering which policy to examine [I considered specifying the topic, but prefer to let your creativity flow], adopt a broad perspective. Appropriate topics range from broad public health initiatives (mandatory seat belt use, prohibition on tobacco advertising, older drinking age) to fiscal influencer (readmission penalties, never events, HIT incentives and penalties, block grants) to operational mandates (CON requirements, limits on training hours, EMTALA, quality improvement initiatives).

Condensing your research and findings into a concise and precise paper is a major challenge. It is also a practical skill.

Please post any questions concerning this assignment within this Discussion. Post your final submission in the Assignments folder.

Cultural Nursing Scholarly Paper

 Culture is one of the organizing concepts upon which nursing is based and defined. As healthcare providers, nurses must implement their knowledge of cultural, ethnic, and social diversity to develop a culturally sensitive nursing practice. This enables nurses to be more effective in initiating nursing assessments and serving as a patient advocate.

Background:
       Leininger (2014) defines culture as a set of values, beliefs, and traditions that are led by a specific group of people and handed down from generation to generation. Culture is learned, shared, values transmitted, a way of life, and practices of a particular group that guides day-to-day thinking, decisions, and actions.

       Technological advances have transformed our social world into what Marshall McLuhan termed a global village. In other words, we need to think of the entire world when we talk about our social environment. Computers, satellites, and communication technology have brought the world closer together and made cross-cultural encounters an everyday occurrence.

       Cultural competence is the ability to provide holistically effective care to patients who come from different cultures. In nursing, there is a requirement to be sensitive to communication, both verbally and non-verbally. It is an evolving process that depends on self-awareness, knowledge, attitude, and development and application of skills. Nurses should never make assumptions about their patient’s beliefs; for example, stating that all Jehovah’s Witnesses will refuse blood transfusions is a generalization.

       Being culturally insensitive can lead to stereotyping, discrimination, racism, and prejudice. Some cultures do not call elders by their first names. Nurses should always ask how the patient wants to be addressed. Some cultures would not allow a male nurse to examine a female patient so the team should be aware of this cultural issue. People may have different beliefs about medical care and treatment in the United States, and the nurse needs to offer respect and gain knowledge of the patient’s situation.

       In the healthcare systems of today, healthcare providers are diverse. Nurses have much to offer from their own culture. Culture is universal and dynamic. It is taught to other members of the health care team as a matter of sharing. Distinctions between culture, ethnicity, race, and religion may be confusing. Think of it this way, you are a member of the subculture of the student, you are also a member of an ethnic group, (e.g. Portuguese-American from the Azores), a racial group (white, African American), and a religion (Roman Catholic, Jewish), each with its own set of beliefs and values. So, your culture is a blend of all of those characteristics (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014).

Scholarly Paper:

There is one scholarly paper due in this course. It is recommended that students prepare for this paper each week.

  1. Select a culture that you wish to investigate.
  2. Research the health beliefs and practices of the culture selected.
  3. Use the questions from the Guidelines for Cultural and Social Diversity and Ethnicity in Canvas to formulate a scholarly paper about the culture that a nurse could use as a reference to provide culturally sensitive care to a member of the ethnic group.
  4. Discuss how you would implement the use of this reference.

Length of paper 8-10 pages or whatever it takes to concisely discuss your ideas excluding title page, references, and appendices.

TURNITIN is enabled and it is the student’s responsibility to check the Turnitin score after submitting the paper. If the score is greater than 20% the student must revise the paper to bring the score down below 20%.

Follow APA format and style guidelines in APA manual 6th ed.  i.e. Title page with “Running head:”, shortened title, and pagination; all in-text citations MUST have a reference and all references MUST have in-text citations; Direct quotes from sources other than classic articles (Nightingale,etc.) should be minimal.  All references must be peer-reviewed from literature searches and have a publication date within the last 5 years. Dictionaries and Drug Reference books can be used for information gathering only but are NOT appropriate references.  Most “.com” and “.net” websites are not reliable sources. Newspaper articles and news media are not reliable sources and therefore not acceptable references for the purposes of this paper.

Stakeholders are an important entity in an organization’s performance and operations; A stakeholder is a person or group that is involved in or affected by a course of action (Hughes-Rease,2015). internal stakeholders are within an organization and include health care professionals, administration and others that play important roles. External stakeholders include patients, suppliers, health insurance providers and other financial organizations; they also play an important role in the organizational operations. The support of stakeholders is important in the success of the change proposal because they have a large influence on the organization, and they would help provide knowledge, skills and resources to implement the change. The way to secure their support would be to keep them informed about the proposal and the changes that would need to be made and to demonstrate to them the EBP that supports the proposal. Keeping stakeholders involved in all parts of the proposal will allow them to provide input and to generate a positive adoption of the change.
