2-  Identify the national-level key stakeholders who are affected by the practice problem and stakeholders involved in the resolution. *(stakeholders—healthcare providers, educators, business leaders, social service providers, community organizations, and clergy) 

3-  Are the clinical practice guidelines used to address this problem? Why or why not? If used, provide a brief overview of the clinical practice guidelines (CPG). If a CPG is not used, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a national scale to address the problem.

Case Study, Chapter 23, Professional Identity and ImageNursing care is frequently perceived by the public as simple and unskilled. Many male nurses live in fear of how their caring actions might be interpreted. Many nurses hold that stereotypes about the profession are true, just as the general public does. Public identity and image has been a struggle for nurses for a long time. The greater public clearly does not understand what professional nursing is all about, and the nursing profession has done a poor job of correcting long-standing, historically inaccurate stereotypes.

1. What are the common nursing stereotypes?

2. What was the role of the Center for Nursing Advocacy? Discuss the role of Truth about Nursing in addressing inaccurate or negative portrayals of nursing in the media and the process they use to raise public and professional awareness of the issues surrounding nursing public image?

3. What are some of the ways of changing nursing’s image in the public eye?

4. One of the most important strategies needed to change nursing’s image is to change the image of nursing in the mind of the image makers. What are some of the key ways for nurses to interact with the media?

Due: Sunday night at 11:59pm Mountain Time

In this assignment, you will write a paper that analyzes a scenario and considers the relationships between theory, research, and practice in evidence-based research.

Step 1: Read the following scenario.

During the course of your practice as a staff nurse on a medical-surgical unit, the nurse manager and unit-based council state that discharge teaching for postoperative patients will now include information pertaining to wound assessments, care, and dressing changes (as needed). The basis for this change stemmed from the unit consensus about postoperative readmissions with wound infections. The unit-based council performed a review of the literature and has decided to implement a discharge teaching plan that will include specific information addressing wound care.

Step 2: Identify one research article pertaining to this problem.

The article must be from nursing research from the United States and be published within the last five years in a peer-reviewed journal. Suggestions for finding an article include use of the library and journal articles posted to the Internet.

Step 3: Review aspects of theories and conceptual models.

• Consider the various aspects of a theory and nursing conceptual models.
• Consider the purpose of research and how theory and research work together to support evidence-based practice.
• Think of how theory and nursing conceptual models could be used to reflect on the problem in nursing practice described in Step 1.

Step 4: Write a two-four page paper.

Write a paper that analyzes the importance of theory, research findings, and practice as it relates to evidence-based research. Then, using the scenario from Step 1 and the article you identified in Step 2, summarize how the aspects of a theory would help support evidence-based research into the problem described in the scenario. Also, describe which nursing conceptual model would be appropriate for research into this problem and why.

Construct your paper and cite any sources in APA format.

Step 5: Save and submit your assignment.

When you have completed your assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit a copy of the paper to your instructor.

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment. 

The purpose of this assignment is to assess leadership styles, traits, and practices as a nursing professional, establish the importance of effective interprofessional communication as a leader in nursing, and to explore the role of servant leadership in nursing practice.

Read the study materials on leadership and complete the topic quiz activities to better understand your leadership qualities.

Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your peers when it comes to being a leader.

As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.  

Include the following in your presentation:

 1. Each group member: Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices.

4. Discuss what leadership traits and styles are necessary to be an effective communicator. Explain the importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community members).

6. Discuss how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong understanding of their personal leadership traits can successfully lead others and navigate the unique challenges that are part of nursing and health care. Provide two examples that illustrate your main ideas.
