discussion post with 2 responses to class mates

Post a summary of the psychotherapy that you selected and explain why it resonates with you the most at this time. Then compare the psychotherapy you selected with existential-humanistic therapy. What are the strengths and challenges of each type of psychotherapy? Describe a fictional client that you think would be best suited for the therapy you selected and one fictional client you think would be best suited for existential-humanistic therapy. Explain why.

More details to come. Will send 2 classmates posts to respond to (due 10/24) 

The Role of the RN/APRN in Policy Evaluation

 

 

To Prepare:

  • In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making.
  • Review the Resources and reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.

Post an explanation of at least two opportunities that currently exist for RNs and APRNs to actively participate in policy review. Explain some of the challenges that these opportunities may present and describe how you might overcome these challenges. Finally, recommend two strategies you might make to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities. Be specific and provide examples. 

Week 2 Project Assignment pharm

 

Each student will be responsible for preparing one presentation on pharmacological management of the disease or pharmacological applications of a drug or group of drugs. THE FOCUS IS OVER THE COUNTER DRUGS ADVIL””””””’ 

  1. Each student will clearly write a title for this topic. Examples are ‘Pharmacological Management of Deep Vein Thrombosis and/or Pulmonary Embolisms Using Anticoagulants/Thrombolytics and Nursing Implications’ or ‘Pharmacological Effects of Anti-hypertensive Medications in the Management of Hypertension and Nursing Implications’.
    • Nursing Implications are the nursing related consequences and what you as the nurse should be looking for in the treatment and care of your patient.
  2. Students must get their title approved by the professor before the deadline shown in your schedule. Unapproved titles will not be accepted
  3. The presentation must identify the Pharmacodynamic properties and actual/potential effects on the patient.
  4. This is worth 20 points

Ethical Considerations

 

Ethical Considerations.

  Last week, you explored practice problems at the local level. This week, we’ll take that knowledge a step further—you’ll have the opportunity to examine the protection of individuals who volunteer to participate in research studies. What ethical principles are researchers held to as they design a sampling plan that includes recruitment, informed consent, and protection of human subjects throughout the duration of the study, including the dissemination of research study findings? Why is a researcher’s ethical responsibility to human subjects relevant to your exploration of a practice problem? The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) provides leadership in the protection of the rights, welfare, and wellbeing of human subjects involved in research conducted or supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  I’m sure you’re ready to find answers to these questions, so let’s get started! 

Translation of a research-based intervention to practice involves a critical review of numerous published research studies to discern if individuals – research subjects – were treated according to the ethical values and principles as defined by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Reflect upon your selected practice problem (lung cancer) and the eventual research-based intervention you select for your practice change project and address the following.

  • What are the potential benefits and harms related to your selected practice problem(lung cancer) when considering a research-based intervention for your practice change project?
  • Are there competing personal or professional values related to this research-based intervention that might impact the implementation of this intervention in your practice setting?
  • What types of objections might be raised? How will you explain your decision to key stakeholders to address these objections?  
  • Utilize ethical considerations and theories relevant to translation science.    

Instructions:

Topic 1 DQ 1

Explain the role of accreditation in mitigating risk compliance issues.  Provide an example of a health care organization that was placed on probation by its accrediting body or by CMS within the last 3 years for a risk compliance issue. What caused the probation or loss of accreditation and how could it have been prevented?

Due Date: 20-Nov

This is an example of another student paper,,,

The Enterprise Risk Management Domains are a great tool to assess and coordinate surveillance plans in order to operate a hazardous free facility. I work in an Alzheimer’s and Dementia facility; in addition to the general risk plans, we have to add behavioral, fall prevention, and special disaster preparedness due to the patients’ inability to ambulate and verbalize needs. I will choose the two domains that we emphasized the most Clinical & Patient Safety and Environmental- and Infrastructure-Based Hazards. Clinical & Patient Safety – The facility prepares diligently to identified and respond to threats that may affect the overall health of the residents; they have designated team members to monitor patients outcomes in regards to antibiotic use, infection control and Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAI), that team member is called an infection preventionist, she is in charge of performing rounds to each department (laundry, nutrition, activities, nursing, etc.) to ensure they are in compliance with infection control guidelines and protocols. Infrastructure-Based Hazards – The environmental and maintenance team is of great support when it comes to environmental hazards, disaster preparedness, and patient safety; the facility is designed to protect the resident by preventing injuries, such as falls, drowning, choking, and aspirating. We are a lockdown unit to prevent elopement, the sinks are in special units to prevent patients from falling or ingesting the soap, their rooms have limited furniture, and the patios are gated with locks. I believe their plan is very effective in mitigating risk; I will suggest more assistive staff; the facility is against all types of restrains, meaning that if a patient becomes aggressive and combative, we have to handle the situation by other means, and it can be time-consuming. The quality improvement projects at the facility require a different approach due to the special infrastructure, the population, and the limited staff.

Evidence based practice

 

As a nurse in a healthcare organization, it has become evident that patient outcome data have been consistently declining in some patient care settings. Some of the outcomes under inspection include patient Hospital acquired pressure injury (HAPI), (4 % increase in the last 6 months) .

You have investigated contributing factors to the declining outcomes and participated with a team approach to developing an evidence-based practice project. After reading this article Aiken Article titled “The effects of nurse staffing and nurse education on patent deaths in hospital with different nurse work environment”, PICO: In a healthcare setting, what is the effect of nursing staffing in reducing patient outcomes in HAPI cases? Was developed.

Complete the following categories for an EBP project (based on the case scenario above). Use the clinical question that was developed based on the PICO format. Include minimum of 10 articles reviews. For this assignment address the following areas:

  • Title Page
  • Abstract
  • Introduction
  • Background
  • Problem Statement
  • Purpose of the Project
  • Clinical Question(s)
  • Review of the Literature

Caps Assignment W5
