Technology played a vital role in promoting the efficiency and availability of affordable healthcare. Various components of technology such as social media, internet, and other online platforms have facilitated bridging of the gap between the patients and the healthcare providers (Abbasi et al., 2018). However, there are multiple factors that nurses and other healthcare providers should consider before using social media as a core communication and teaching tool. Firstly, it is critical to consider the essence of privacy between the doctor and the patient. Other significant considerations include security, accessibility, and cost of using social media.

Multiple types of social media are beneficial to patients and healthcare providers. The virtual networks or online community is one of the beneficial social media platforms. The network not only enables the patient to access information but also facilitates the acquisition of critical health data by doctors and nurses (Kotsenas et al., 2018).  Some examples of virtual networks include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, among others. Most of the social networks possess a provision for direct and social messages (Abbasi et al., 2018). Hence, nurses can choose to either communicate privately or publicly to the patients.

Although social media possesses various benefits, it also attracts multiple challenges to the patients and the healthcare providers. Firstly, social media, as a communication tool, limits the nurse’s ability to examine the patients before prescribing the medication or advice. Besides, the use of social media limit’s the patient’s ability to distinguish between professional and fraudulent doctors.

This week’s post will focus on the second part of Chapter One. Address each area with at least five concise sentences for each section. Spelling and grammar will be reviewed and graded. Note: When you write the chapters, adhere to the Proposal Paper requirements.

Chapter One, Part Two: Significance of the Project: This section identifies and describes the significance of the project and the implications of the potential results based on the clinical questions and problem statement. It describes how the project fits within and will contribute to the current literature or the clinical site practice. It describes potential practical applications from the project.

Rational for Methodology: Compare why the quantitative methodology is appropriate for the DPI project by comparing it to another research methodology.

Nature of the Design: Compare why the quasi-experimental design is the most appropriate for the DPI by comparing it to at least one other research design.

Definition of Terms (with citations) This section Defines any words that may be unknown to a lay person (words with unusual or ambiguous means or technical terms) from the evidence or literature. Include terms such as clinical significance, statistical significance, and words not normally understood by the lay person.

Assumptions, Limitations, Delimitations (s): This section identifies the assumptions and specifies the limitations, as well as the delimitations, of the project.

Summary: This section summarizes the key points of Chapter One and provides supporting citations for those key points. It then provides a transition discussion to Chapter Two, followed by a description of the remaining chapters.

Module 05 Discussion – Remaining Calm

Initial Post

There are times when a nurse must provide care for a client who is agitated and verbally or physically aggressive. The client may be psychotic, but the nurse must, in each case, remain in control of his/her own feelings, and intervene in the most appropriate manner.

After watching a segment regarding a violent client at Bellevue Hospital, answer the questions below. It’s not necessary to critique the staff in the video, just think of how you might respond.

Violent Client at Bellevue Hosptial Video

• Describe a time when a client was rude or verbally abusive to you. How did you react?
• What skills were necessary to maintain a professional, caring, therapeutic relationship?
• How did you best communicate with this client?
• What did you learn from this experience?

1.  Mention and discuss the role of nursing in occupational health

  Reflection Assignment 2: Meeting Essential VIII
 

This week, reflect on ethical principles and your understanding of ethical decision-making frameworks as they have evolved over the course of your RN-BSN program at WCU. Identify specific ethical standards and moral conduct codes. How does your academic work support evidence of meeting the following?

Essential VIII: Professionalism and Professional Values

Your reflection should be 1-1/2 to 2 pages and APA Style. Reference and cite any sources you use.

• For this assessment, you will develop a 3-4 page critique of the quantitative design, methods, and results of a scholarly study.
  The ability to use quantitative approaches to analyze health care data is a vital skill for today’s doctoral prepared professional. You will be expected to have the skills to critically assess the deeper analytical qualities of an article and ultimately comment on its overall validity and practical relevance. This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate and hone your ability to analyze and critique the quantitative methods of a research study using an example from the literature.
  For the learner who has finished the data collection process for the doctoral project, analysis of that data offers an exciting (and sometimes challenging) opportunity of discovery. One of the most common statistical techniques for examining the relationship of two variables is correlation analysis. The specific kind of correlational technique depends on the combination of the measurement level (that is, categorical, ordinal, or interval or ratio) of the two data variables being examined. Correlation analysis can tell us the direction and strength of relationships between two variables.
  Overview
  Whether preparing a scholarly document for your doctoral program or simply trying to stay current in your professional field, you must continuously grow in your ability to read research. As an undergraduate, you probably just skimmed over an article’s abstract and introduction, focusing most of your attention on the interpretation of the results at the conclusion. As a doctoral-level professional, your colleagues will expect you to have the skills to critically assess the deeper analytical qualities of an article and ultimately comment on its overall validity and practical relevance.
  Using the readings, media, and various resources in this course, you have an opportunity to engage in critical thinking to assess the analytical results of a peer-reviewed quantitative study. This assessment parallels and complements the literature critique skill set you have developed previously in your program.
  The following will help provide you with potential approaches and frameworks to completing the critique and assessment portions of this assessment:
