How has nursing evolved since you graduated from your original nursing program? Is nursing today what you expected when you enter nursing education?

Scenario: Safety
A 77, year old woman is hospitalized for management of her diabetes. She has a history of functional urinary incontinence and poor vision from the diabetes. The nursing staff observes her climbing over the side rails on numerous occasions at night en route to the bathroom. She is quite agitated during this time. The nursing assistant requests that you obtain an order for a body restraint at night to prevent her from falling out of bed.

• Should this patient be restrained to prevent injury?
• Would you request the order for a body restraint? Why, or why not?
• What other information is relevant to this case?
• What nursing interventions could be tried before considering a restraint?

Select two grand nursing theories and discuss how each theorist addresses the metaparadigm for nursing. Discuss briefly the similarities and differences of the two.

Discussion: Building a Health History

Discussion: Clinical Supervision – Kaltura WEEK 4 (1)

Substance use disorders are complicated psychiatric and medical conditions that involve physical addiction as well as psychological or emotional dependence. Substance use disorders are some of the most difficult to treat. It takes a great deal of patience on the part of the provider and the client. It may take several attempts before a client is successfully able to “kick the habit.” Your guidance and patience can help the client to persevere through difficult times during the journey to recovery.

Clinical Supervision is an essential component of your development as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. It provides an opportunity for professional collaboration as you share experiences with and gain insights from colleagues. For this Clinical Supervision, consider a client with a substance abuse disorder whom you do not think is adequately progressing according to expected clinical outcomes.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Analyze clients presenting for treatment of      substance-related and addictive disorders
• Evaluate effectiveness of therapeutic approaches for      clients diagnosed with substance-related and addictive disorders
• Recommend treatment plans

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources concerning      treating patients with substance-related and addictive disorders.
• Reflect on a client you are currently counseling or      have previously counseled at your practicum site who has been diagnosed      with substance-related and addictive disorders.

Post a 3- to 5-minute Kaltura video in which you do the following:

• Describe the client. Note: Do not use the client’s actual name.

• Explain your therapeutic approach with the client, including the perceived effectiveness of your approach.

• Identify any additional information about this client that may potentially impact expected outcomes.

• Provide specific recommendations for the client to help them in determining why they are not progressing and what your suggested      treatment plan consists of.

• It is useful to      consult the Prochaska and DiClement model.

Note: Support your rationale with a minimum of three academic resources less than five years in APA format, including introduction and conclusion 

In this assignment, you will develop two separate infographics (informative posters) to discuss two separate health issues relevant to the LGBT communities. In each infographic you will discuss:

• What is the health problem?
• Which group(s) are most likely to be at risk?
• What social/behavioral/health system determinants affect this?
• Identify at least two potential interventions/activities the community, community health agency, community health nurse could offer to prevent and or support this health issue
• What resistance might be met in implementing the intervention/activity?

Research the range of contemporary issues teenagers face today. In a 500-750-word paper, choose one issue (besides teen pregnancy) and discuss its effect on adolescent behavior and overall well-being. Include the following in your submission:

1. Describe the contemporary issue and explain what external stressors are associated with this issue.
2. Outline assessment strategies to screen for this issue and external stressors during an assessment for an adolescent patient. Describe what additional assessment questions you would need to ask and define the ethical parameters regarding what you can and cannot share with the parent or guardian.
3. Discuss support options for adolescents encountering external stressors. Include specific support options for the contemporary issue you presented.

Your teaching plan should serve as a road map of what you think students need to learn as well as how you will effectively deliver your instruction and evaluate what the students learned during the class period. While there are many formats for a teaching plan, the following sections should be included in your plan:

1. The subject or topic that you plan to teach: Your topic should be selected from one of the class periods listed in your syllabus ( See File 1) that you developed for an undergraduate nursing course.

2. Level of instruction: The placement of the course in the nursing program curriculum (i.e., freshman, junior, sophomore, senior; beginning, mid-program, or end-of-program level)

3. Method/mode of delivering your teaching presentation: Form of audio-visual delivery, PowerPoint presentation, or similar method

4. Learning objectives: Include 4–5 outcome statements that define what you expect the students to learn or accomplish by the end of the class period. Your learning objectives should be clear and measurable, and appropriate to the information you are teaching, and the level of instruction.

5. Content outline: Develop an outline of the central points and/or skills you plan to cover. Your content should be logically structured.

6. Teaching strategies and learning activities: List the approach, techniques, and methods you will use to drive your instruction and engage your students to reach the learning objectives (e.g., lecture, active learning, discussions). Provide a rationale supporting your selected teaching strategies, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

7. Plans for individual learning differences: How you plan to adapt your teaching to meet individual learning needs of various students. Explain how individuals with different learning styles will be supported by your teaching strategies and activities.

8. Evaluation process: List the methods you plan to use to assess student learning and evaluate the effectiveness of your teaching strategies (how you will determine if students met the outcome objectives).

• Include formative (questioning, discussion, games, etc.) and summative (assignment, test, presentation, etc.) evaluation strategies.
• Include at least one written assignment and develop a rubric that clearly describes your expectations for the assignment. Your rubric should:
  • List the criteria that will be assessed (a breakdown of the assignment parts).
  • Include some type of scale that measures the levels of quality for the criteria being assessed (e.g., from excellent to poor, from exceeds expectations to does not meet expectations).

Is social support correlated with HIV infection rates in Sub-Saharan Africa?
If nurses participate in leadership organizations, are they more likely to advocate for state-level policy changes?
Exposure to pet therapy decreases the perception of pain in patients who are terminally ill with cancer.
Is limited English proficiency a barrier to the adoption of the new information technology system by Newbury Clinic personnel?

For each item above, consider the following:

• Is it a research question or hypothesis? Why do you think so?
• Which elements of a theoretical foundation for research are evident in the research question/hypothesis?
• Would the research question/hypothesis be reasonable and appropriate for dissertation research or a similar program of research? If not, what modifications would you suggest?
• Is it written clearly and effectively for the purposes of research? Why or why not?
• If a nurse scientist were to address this research question/hypothesis, how would it further nursing’s body of knowledge and promote positive social change?

Examination of a variety of research questions and hypotheses can help you think creatively and analytically about your phenomenon of interest and the program of research you wish to pursue. In this Discussion, you develop research questions or hypotheses that you may be able to use to study your phenomenon of interest. You also provide feedback to your colleagues to help them strengthen their own research questions or hypotheses.

To prepare

• Review the Learning Resources, including the information that Dr. Hathaway’s presents in the media program, “Research Questions and Hypotheses.”
• Review the framework or theory that you identified in the Week 6 Discussion as having the most potential for use in your theoretical foundation for research. Using this framework or theory, think of potential research questions or hypotheses that you may use to study your phenomenon.
• In addition, try other strategies that may help you develop useful research questions or hypotheses. For example:
  • Reexamine the literature related to your phenomenon of interest.
  • Review the questions and comments you noted as you analyzed concepts and conceptual relationships in previous weeks of this course.
  • Reflect on your firsthand observations of this phenomenon.

By Day 3

Post one or more research questions or hypotheses. Provide your rationale for selecting each question/hypothesis, explaining why it may be beneficial for studying your phenomenon of interest.
