Case Study, Chapter 10, Mandatory Minimum Staffing Ratios 

A nurse manager is attending a national convention and is attending a concurrent session on staffing ratios. Minimum staffing ratios are being discussed in the nurse manager’s own state. The nurse manager has a number of questions about staffing ratios that the session is covering. The nurse manager knows that evidence exists that increasing the number of RNs in the staffing mix leads to safer workplaces for nurses and higher quality of care for patients.

1. What are the three general approaches recommended by the American Nurses Association (2017) to maintain sufficient staffing?

2. Summarize the findings that are often cited as the seminal work in support of establishing minimum staffing ratio legislation at the federal or state level.

3. Analyze what proponents and critics say about whether mandatory minimum staffing ratios are needed.

ZERO PLAGIARISM

Assessment is as essential to family therapy as it is to individual therapy. Although families often present with one person identified as the “problem,” the assessment process will help you better understand family roles and determine whether the identified problem client is in fact the root of the family’s issues. As you examine the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat the client family.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Assess client families presenting for psychotherapy

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on family assessment.
• View the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos, and consider how you might assess the family in the case study.

Note: For guidance on writing a comprehensive client assessment, refer to pages 137–142 of Wheeler (2014) in this week’s Learning Resources.

The Assignment

Address in a comprehensive client assessment of the Hernandez family the following:

• Demographic information
• Presenting problem
• History or present illness
• Past psychiatric history
• Medical history
• Substance use history
• Developmental history
• Family psychiatric history
• Psychosocial history
• History of abuse and/or trauma
• Review of systems
• Physical assessment
• Mental status exam
• Differential diagnosis
• Case formulation
• Treatment plan

As you think about evidence, researching the literature is important in providing information to address the gaps and providing evidence for your workplace. When applying application of evidence to practice, 

Do you agree or disagree that the rigor and strength of evidence must be appraised before being applied to patients?

Please answer this question in at least 2 paragraphs and use 2 sources no later than 5 years. 

Medicare or Medicaid – which has greater impact in your state?

In the state of Florida, it seems that Medicaid has a greater impact. The fact that Medicaid benefits are funded by the state and federal program play a huge role as to how much the state is impacted. Medicaid as we all know covers adults with children with low income, disabled, pregnant women and elderly 65 years and older (Flexer, S. 2017, February 9). In 2019 it was reported that the total low-income population was 31% and Medicaid was covering for 19% of the low-income population (Medicaid in Florida [PDF]).  

   Medicaid benefits vary between states but it makes the greatest impact overall due to the fact that they cover from children to adults who are in need of health care. Benefits of the Medicaid program are that it decreases the uninsured populations giving them access to health care as long as they are eligible. Medicaid programs also assist in reducing poverty rates, reduces patient medical care debts and is efficient to those patients that are low income and need medical care in an economic crisis (Manatt, P. 2019, July 26).  

   Moreover, it is expected for Medicaid benefits to be expanded in the future in order to reduce society and low-income population debt as well as state budget savings. It is predicted that if Florida Medicaid expands then they will save about $900 million dollars in budget (Medicaid. (n.d.).

DQ1.    250WORDS CITATION AND REFERENCES

Stakeholder support is necessary for a successful project implementation. Consider your internal stakeholders, such as the facility, unit, or health care setting where the change proposal is being considered, and your external stakeholders, like an individual or group outside the health care setting. Why is their support necessary to the success of your change proposal, and how you will go about securing that support?

DQ2.  250 WORDS CITATION AND REFERENCES

Technology is integral to successful implementation in many projects, through either support or integration or both. Name at least one technology that could improve the implementation process and the outcomes of your capstone project change proposal. Do you plan to use this technology? If not, what are the barriers that prevent its use?

4. Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and why demographic data are necessary to the health of the community.

A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services released a comprehensive Clinical Practice Guideline for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence–2008 Update 

https://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/clinicians-providers/guidelines-recommendations/tobacco/clinicians/update/index.html 

The goal of these recommendations is that clinicians strongly recommend the use of effective tobacco dependence counseling and medication treatments to their patients who use tobacco, and that health systems, insurers, and purchasers assist clinicians in making such effective treatments available. 

After reading these recommendations answer the following questions.

1. what are the clinical interventions for patients unwilling to quit cigarette smoking?

2. According to the best practices what are the best strategies to help your clients quit smoking?

3. are there any specific smoking cessation recommendations for especial populations such as teenagers or the elderly?

Every student must post just once during the time frame Discussion Forum is Open.
