Hello Maria. Reflecting on your area of nursing expertise, what has been your experience with working within an interprofessional team? Did you have an opportunity to speak up on behalf of your patient but failed to do so? If so, what prevented you from speaking up and how would you handle a situation similar to this should it arise in the future?

  Interprofessional collaboration is the collective involvement of various professional healthcare providers working with patients, families, caregivers, and communities to consider and communicate each other’s unique perspective in delivering the highest quality of care. (Moss et al, 2016) At work, I saw a physician did not wash his hands before and after seeing a patient who I was taking care of. The doctor was busy, and I was afraid to interrupt him. I knew I should have told him that washing hands is important to prevent the spread of infections between patients. However, I was not able to tell him about it because of the fear. Hesitancy to speak up is one of the factors that may contribute to communication errors and/or adverse events. (Okuyama et al, 2014)

           According to Okuyama et al (2014), effective communication and teamwork skills are crucial to improve patient safety for health care professionals. Health care professionals are expected to speak up about their concerns before a critical event reaches a patient to provide a chance to correct the plan or intervention. (Okuyama et al, 2014) In addition, establishing a culture that empowers staff to speak up when concerned about the quality or safety of patient care is important. The Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) Keystone Center has implemented the Speak‐Up! Award program that acknowledges frontline health care staff for voicing their concerns and making care safer. (Novak, 2019) And this program presents evidence that fostering a psychologically safe culture of speaking up yields fiscal and humanistic returns, both of which are crucial to sustainable, meaningful progress in safety and quality. (Novak, 2019)

You have been working on a busy orthopedic unit for 6 months. The average patient length of stay in the unit is 4 to 7 days. The program from which you have graduated has subsequently graduated a new class, and three of the new graduates are coming to work on your unit. The nurse manager has told you that she is counting on you to “demonstrate leadership and assist these new nurses to adapt to the work environment.”

Based on the behaviors of an effective leader found in this chapter, how will you assist your new colleagues?

The nurse manager has told you that she is counting on you to “demonstrate leadership and assist these new nurses to adapt to the work environment.”   Based on the behaviors of an effective leader found in this chapter, how will you assist your new colleagues?

What the New is reporting about the Flu

Add a section to the paper (Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue). The new section should address the following:

• Identify and describe at least two competing needs impacting your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
• Describe a relevant policy or practice in your organization that may influence your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
• Critique the policy for ethical considerations, and explain the policy’s strengths and challenges in promoting ethics.
• Recommend one or more policy or practice changes designed to balance the competing needs of resources, workers, and patients, while addressing any ethical shortcomings of the existing policies. Be specific and provide examples.
• Cite evidence that informs the healthcare issue/stressor and/or the policies, and provide two scholarly resources in support of your policy or practice recommendations.

Please respond to the following discussion prompts.

1. Explain the components of a nutritional assessment. What important subjective and objective assessment findings will assist the nurse in developing a nutritional plan?

Use evidence from one scholarly source other than your textbook or ATI book to support your answer. Use APA Style to cite your source.

2. Discuss the normal metabolism of macronutrients in the body (CHO, PRO, and FAT). Choose one of the disorders below and discuss how the metabolism of each macronutrient (CHO, PRO, and FAT) is altered.

Use evidence from one scholarly source other than your textbook or ATI book to support your answer. Use APA Style to cite your source.

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Liver disease
• Diabetes
• Phenylketonuria

Uploading textbook below to help as one of the sources and reference part. Also need another scholary source for each question in APA 7th edition please.

As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.

Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.

In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on your thinking regarding the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.

see attached and:

https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/advocacy/

https://www.cdc.gov/injury/pdfs/policy/Brief%204-a.pdf

https://www.congress.gov/

• Select a healthcare program within your practice and consider the design and implementation of this program….choose a specific healthcare program to use
• Reflect on advocacy efforts and the role of the nurse in relation to healthcare program design and implementation.

The Assignment: (2–4 pages)

In a 2- to 4-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

• Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
• Who is your target population?
• What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
• What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?
• What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?
• Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?
