Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care Hello everyone, and welcome to my Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video for NURS-FPX4030:

Providing care for patients who are unable to come into the physician’s office for a follow-up appointment after being hospitalized can be a difficult task. Patients may be unable to make the visit to the office due to various reasons, which include, lack of transportation and increased travel time. Not having a proper follow-up appointment can severely impact the patient’s progression, cause unnecessary trips to the emergency department, and slow the patient’s recovery rate. For this reason, remote collaboration has become popular for these patients. According to Tuckson, Edmunds and Hodgkins (who published on this topic in 2017) telehealth and telemedicine are terms that are interchangeable and defined as medical information via electronic communication that is shared to help improve a patient’s outcomes. This video will make mention of a pediatric patient named Caitlynn, and her family, as she has a new diagnosis

identify benefits and strategies to mitigate the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration to plan care within the context of a remote team.

nurse, and respiratory therapist that cared for her in the hospital can help alleviate some of the stress. In the scenario, Janice and the respiratory therapist skype to review the chest physiotherapy technique. Janice was concerned that she was not completing them properly because Caitlynn was developing marks on her ribs. During the skype, they review the proper technique to prevent those from occurring. Telehealth has given Janice the opportunity to care for Caitlynn from home, but also have the support from trained medical professionals at hand. According to Calthorpe, Smith, Gathercole, and Smyth (who published on this topic in 2020) digital technologies, such as telehealth, present an opportunity to support and improve the lives of patients with cystic fibrosis

Evidence to Support the Need The lack of use of an evidenced-based protocol for Advanced Practice Clinicians (APCs) limits them from proactively managing patients with CHF at risk of reduced ejection fraction in long-term care (Mechler & Liantonio, 2019). Even though some patients are managed by a cardiologist and have echocardiograms, evidenced based palliative focused CHF protocol may not be readily available to the APC at skilled nursing facilities. The gaps undermine the workforce’s abilty to deliver patient-centered and holistic care to patients with complex health care needs (Ryan et al., 2021).

NURS-FPX 9100 Defining the Nursing Doctoral Project Virtual Check-in 2 Challenges and Revisions made on Part I of the Project Charter

Virtual Check-in 1

Developing the topic was an excellent opportunity to understand the steps for developing a working project title and describing relevance in clinical practice. The process provided insights into the evidence-based framework for addressing a gap, synthesizing credible and reliable sources to support proposed intervention, and developing a comprehensive PICOT question. In the end, I managed to capture the aim of the project and the need to address the relevance of evidence-based palliative focused CHF protocol for advanced practice.
Challenges Obtaining Topic Approval
Developing the topic approval provided opportunities to understand the systematic and comprehensive approaches for developing a clear title. While it was easier for me to develop a topic on the need for CHF protocol in long-term care, challenges emerged in several areas. Firstly, I experienced challenges developing the PICOT question, specifically narrowing it to determining compliance with CHF palliative care protocol. Secondly, while I managed to describe the gap in clinical practice, the gap analysis was inadequate to ascertain the relevance of the topic. With the assistance of my preceptor, I managed to capture the existing guidelines on CHF protocols at UGH-Optum. The preceptor assisted me to understand challenges facing the facility in terms of compliance with practice standards in palliative care setting. Interactions with the preceptor helped me understand clinical gaps and recommended evidence-based CHF protocols to improve care outcomes. Another challenge was in clarifying the measures for data analysis. The instructor pointed out the need to outline the purpose of compliance. The absence of a separate compliance outcome for each different step of the intervention to ascertain the relevance of the topic in addressing a gap in the health care system.

Progress on Part I of the Project Charter

I thank my instructor for the guidance in developing part 1 of the project charter. From the evaluation, there were no overall comments about the first attempt submitted. However, suggestions, questions, and comments from the instructor and Lora Crowe (the preceptor) guided me to complete part 1 of the charter. The latter provided insights into the Optum’s strategic priorities, which include expanding access to preventive care by 85% by the end of 2030, advancing outpatient surgeries, and reducing the cost of care for clients by about $600 million.

Notably, focusing on compliance with CHF protocols is crucial to enable the facility achieve the desired quality, lower costs, and maximize customer and employee satisfaction. Thus, chapter 1 of the project charter highlighted the impact of AHA guidelines and CHF protocols on care outcomes. Non-compliance is among the issues that limit healthcare providers from delivering quality and safe patient care (Riahi & Khajehei, 2019). The scenario is visible at Optum, considering limitations in adhering to practice guidelines.

For this project, ten patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction diagnoses were selected to review compliance with quality and safety guidelines. None of the charts audited had ARNI (angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor) known as Entresto is part of the AHA recommendation for management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Four patients were not on Hydralazine and only one patient was one SGLT2i as indicated by the guideline (Heidenreich et al., 2022). All ten charts reviewed had full code status indicating a lack of understanding of disease trajectory and recommendations. Similarly, maximizing patient satisfaction is a priority that requires resilience in developing evidence-based solutions.

The comments provided before approval of the topic enabled me to highlight the relevance of the intervention in streamlining palliative care. Focusing on senior community settings also reveal the urgency of the intervention in enabling the facility to improve quality and safety of services and reduce costs associated with non-compliance.

As I look forward to the project charter for part II, I aim to adhere to the guidelines provided by the instructor to minimize the number of revisions. The goal is to ensure that I complete the work within the scheduled time. A question about my work focused on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Notably, I chose to include physician assistants while excluding physicians and registered nurses from the process. Is there a likelihood of making inadequate conclusions due to the decision to exclude parties that have frontline roles and may have knowledge and experiences of the clinical environment? I look forward to an exciting experience as I make efforts to complete the second part of the project charter.

The acculturation experience for new graduate nurses to the culture of the nursing profession is demanding and challenging. The new graduate nurses are expected to leave their structured nursing school environment and enter professional practice, which causes transition and reality shock for these nurses. As a result, new graduate nurses’ provision of substandard care and intention to leave the profession increases.

Influence of State Board Nursing Practice Standards and Governmental Policies on the Impact of Heart Disease on the Quality of Care, Patient Safety, and Costs to the System and Individual

Based on the symptoms and the assessment results, the most likely diagnosis for this patient is heart failure. Heart failure is the inability of the body to efficiently pump blood throughout the body. Symptoms include breathlessness after activity, swollen legs, dizziness, and fast heart rate (Inamdar & Inamdar, 2016). The patient has edema, a faster heart rate, respiratory rate, and low oxygen saturation rate. The causes of heart failure include hypertension and coronary heart disease (Inamdar & Inamdar, 2016). The patient has a history of hypertension and myocardial infarction.

Clotting Mechanism

The clotting process has four mechanisms. Vasoconstriction is the first response after vessel injury and is mediated by Endothelin-1 (Garmo et al., 2021). The second step is platelet adhesion, consisting of the adhesion of platelets to the exposed subendothelial collagen (Garmo et al., 2021). Consistently, the third stage is platelet activation, characterized by an irreversible change in the shape of platelets and secretion of cytoplasmic granules. Finally, platelet activation is the last step. This is mediated through proteolytic cleavage by thrombin (Garmo et al., 2021). The following stages involve activating clotting factors, converting prothrombin to thrombin, and converting fibrinogen to fibrin, stabilizing the clot (Garmo et al., 2021).

Article Analysis – On Learned Helplessness and Gunman Kills Himself

Introduction

‘On Learned Helplessness’ by psychologist Seligman is an article addressing the phases through which people in trauma go through. This is the process that he calls learned helplessness, and he suggests ways to handle the situation. Seligman points out that the conditions in a traumatic person can elicit feelings of fear, depression, helplessness, and competence. This theory will be used to analyze the study material ‘Gunman Kills Himself After Hostage Drama’ written by Tim Waters and Charles Wallace. The occurrences in the article will be mirrored by the psychologist’s view on what trauma can drive one into, as will be illustrated in the essay.

Although the evaluation of the COVAX initiative’s effectiveness is important, the broader perspective on the causes of the problem and potential solutions may be needed to minimise the risks of biased conclusions and implications. Adams (2020) explains the close connections between capitalism and neoliberal policies on the one hand and the current inefficiencies in addressing such pandemics and disasters on the other hand.

Introduction

Crisis management is defined as how an organization deals with the emergence of a sudden situation. The Covid-19 pandemic was a sudden situation that led to changes in all business perspectives affecting the operations. Crisis management is characterized by three elements that include foresight which is the ability to predict a situation and make plans on how to handle business in such a situation. The second element is coping, which is the capability to prevent adverse effects once a problem occurs (ATILGAN, 2019).

Introduction

Different challenges are faced by the business of hospitality, Leisure, and Travel industry during COVID-19. Because of the global reach of COVID-19’s impacts, governments and corporations are putting all of their efforts into ensuring their citizens’ protection. While this concentration will continue, a global sell-off in equities markets is inevitable due to the ramifications for economic growth and corporate earnings (Kaushal, 2021). Seeing how our hotel and leisure clients were amongst the first to be wedged by the severe weather, we are pleased to see that they are working promptly to assess their businesses’ operational and financial implications. The impact on revenue and supply chains is enormous, yet it is still unclear.

Introduction

The world, of late, is facing a pandemic that has been proving itself to be one of the major issues in the current world. The higher education system in the UK is being severely affected by the lockdown imposed by the UK government. This research provides an account of the student experience in UK HE since the emergence of Covid 19. The research analyses the challenges of students, staff in the UK in the context of the covid 19 situation.The campus of different universities has remained closed in the time of pandemic and the UK government has imposed a strict lockdown throughout the country in this time which severely affected the education of foreign students who were studying in the universities like Oxford, Cambridge, and so on. In this research, the data that have been used are secondary qualitative data due to the inability of primary data due to the lockdown. The essay examines the negative impact on the higher education system of the United Kingdom. As the UK is a developed country and the country stepped into the global approach of education foreign students across the globe have come despite being faced different difficulties. The research lights the topic of safety measures for the prevention of Covid 19 taken by the government of the UK. The research also elaborates the matter that describes the experience of international graduate vans postgraduate students in this pandemic situation. The research will aid in the finding of the right approach that should be taken not only by the government of the UK but also every government of the world.

The COVID-19 outbreak in the United Kingdom has had substantial socioeconomic effects on the community, which must be acknowledged to motivate rapid governmental actions. School closures, movement restrictions, social gathering bans, and limitations on economic activities have all impacted the socio-economic status life of the United Kingdom, resulting in stress such as lost income and higher food insecurity, which has been aggravated by a locust invasion. Understanding the financial implications of the COVID-19 epidemic and identifying the most susceptible populations is crucial. Scientific proof policies and programmatic activities may be produced as a consequence of this understanding Gabry et al., (2019). However, a lack of up-to-date macroeconomic data stymies efforts to allocate resources wisely, such as when initiating social assistance programs. As a consequence, timely and frequent macroeconomic data are necessary to construct evidence-based interventions and aid in minimizing the COVID-19 crisis’s impacts.

Praveen Rai wrote the article, Ballymaloe and Iddya Karunasagar, in January 2021, elaborating more about the recent developments of covid-19 diagnosis and new technological advancements in detecting the disease. Covid-19 is an infection brought about by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome. On December 31st, the first case was confirmed in Wuhan, China. On January 30th 2020, the organization that deals with health matters worldwide declared covid-19 as an epidemic as it was clear it was spreading rampantly through contagious contamination. The confirmed cases and number of deaths rose day by day as the infection spread throughout the world. The indicators of covid-19 vary from one human being to the other, including those with fewer signs of acute respiratory distress syndrome and organ failures.

The global crisis caused by the covid-19 pandemic has seen rapid changes in all organizations in Australia that required the firms’ Human Resources to respond and mitigate any emerging issues. The pandemic created a sense of confusion and panic, with the Australian government evoking lockdowns and restrictions on movement. Organizations’ employees experienced stress and anxiety caused by health risks caused by crowding in workplaces, others from working from home, and others from losing their jobs due to budget cuts and

In terms of compliance, auditing is the process of determining if health care personnel are appropriately executing the procedure in accordance with the standards and guidelines (Gaddis, 2018). It aids in the tracking of medical practice, the discovery of potential problems, and the giving of performance feedback. As a result of the data indicating the need for training and resources, the stages of plan, do, and act are employed to make things better. Audit collaboration can be shown in hand washing compliance, PPE installation, and doffing sequencing. Effective communications about goals and performance plans might help to facilitate change.

The present pandemic has predisposed a severe threat to the globe’s health and economy. Millions of individuals have already died due to this virus, and millions more are still sick. As per the World Health Organization, COVID-19 has caused over 4.62 million active infections and over 0.3 million fatalities globally as of May 16, 2020. According to current statistics, the vast majority of patients who died from the infection had underlying health difficulties such as kidney damage, heart conditions, diabetes, and so on (Li et al. 518). COVID-19 is among the largest pandemic in the 21st century, following the MERS, and has resulted in the extensive global quarantine (Zowalaty and Järhult). Thriving metropolises have become vacant lots, open spaces where people have gathered for decades have become practically deserted, and thousands around the globe are under lockdown. The quarantine established due to the coronavirus pandemic is devastating to humanity, with all markets closed, religious buildings shuttered, public gatherings prohibited, travel restrictions imposed, construction projects suspended, and the economy and stock exchanges globally collapsing. The coronavirus outbreak, on the other hand, has a number of positive aspects that the world has been witnessing all through the quarantine in terms of climatic and ecological changes.

Coronavirus pandemic outbreak in 2019 posed significant health challenges worldwide as fatalities increased daily. Nonetheless, medical research practitioners around the globe revamped their efforts to seek a lasting solution to curb the pandemic. As a consequence, a number of vaccines were produced to help combat the prevalence of the pandemic (Berezow). However, the administration of vaccines has invoked debate in almost every corner of the planet as people argue whether its administration should be made mandatory. In some quarters, the availability of the vaccine presents an opportunity for families to protect themselves,

Organizational Policies and Practices to Support Healthcare Issues

Competing needs, including patient needs, healthcare resources, and workforce, influence policy formulation since the competing needs must be aligned with the objectives of the policy being implemented. An example is a policy addressing the infection prevention protocols for COVID-19 that should meet the needs of healthcare professionals and the patient’s needs and minimize healthcare costs. Effective use of healthcare professionals is critical in safe, quality, and cost-effective healthcare services (Figueroa et al., 2019).

Integration of Interprofessional Perspectives That Support Quality Improvement

Interprofessional collaboration is important to improve the safety of quality of care. The interprofessional perspectives critical to the hospice program are transformational leaders and interdisciplinary collaboration. Identifying these perspectives and incorporating them into the QI initiatives will improve patient outcomes. The healthcare system is one big machine with interdependent parts, and hence a problem in one part will affect other parts (Huber & Joseph, 2021). The issues in the hospice program may affect other departments and hinder the organization from achieving its mission and vision. For instance, the poor performance of nurses can affect the performance of hospice physicians, social workers, and chaplains

Psychotherapy is considered a biological treatment that targets every biological regulation that underlies complex brain responses (Javanbakht & Alberini, 2019). Psychotherapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy increase top-down processing (that is, cortex to the limbic system), whereas Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness increase down-to-top processing (limbic system to the cortex), hence implying a biological connection (Wheeler, 2020). As a result, one benefits from a re-elaboration of others and self by encountering new experiences and learning that comprises internal, emotional, and cognitive regulation processes. According to Javanbakht and Alberini (2019), effective therapies can produce lasting as well as measurable physical alterations in one’s brain.

As with other benzodiazepines, diazepam (valium) works on the central nervous system (CNS). It affects how brain neurotransmitters work and how related chemicals are released. Thus, Valium aids nerves in communicating with other nerves. Prolonged use can impair the aging nervous system, causing the 70-year-old woman to have a dizzy feeling and things around her turn around.

Technological advances in medicine have become increasingly popular since healthcare providers and patients require better services. Technology has made it easier for healthcare workers to perform their work efficiently. Additionally, patients have a better prognosis due to better diagnostic tools. Telemedicine, among many other trends, has been embraced in nursing practice. It is a tool that allows remote access to medical care behind the screens. Many lives have been saved as a result of this innovation. People with poor health-seeking behavior can access medical care via telemedicine through phones, tablets, or computers.

Repealing or Replacing the Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act was passed on March 23rd, 2010, to increase health insurance and bring reforms to the market regarding health insurance policies (Zhao et al. 2020). The Act has several provisions that improve the public healthcare system. Since its implementation, controversies have surrounded the Act, with some arguing that the project is costly for citizens regardless of government subsidies. It has been argued that the Affordable Care Act is a government project and an opportunity to benefit a few wealthy individuals at the expense of increased taxation and a few insurance companies owned by cartels associated with government officials. Citizens do not trust the government’s role in healthcare to be sincere, which raised concerns over the Act’s legitimacy, thus leading to motions to repeal the Act.

Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations

Professional nursing regulations differ from one state to the other. In Florida, an advanced practice nurse practitioner is considered an individual who has acquired a master’s degree level in a given specialty from an accredited institution in Florida, Colombia, or other states. The board of nursing must approve the nurse in Florida. The state has protocols that define the scope of advanced practice nurse practitioners, and the nurse practitioners are, therefore, expected to serve according to these guidelines and protocols. Interestingly, the Nurse Practice Act states that nurse practitioners can prescribe, administer, dispense, and even order medications (Tony-Butler & Martin, 2018). In addition, the nurses can order diagnostic investigations, coordinate healthcare services, order physical therapy and occupational therapy, and manage selected medical diseases. For uncomplicated acute illnesses, the nurse practitioner is authorized to initiate, alter, maintain and monitor treatment without physician supervision (Toney-Butler & Martin, 2018). However, for each speciality, there is a protocol to be followed. In the case where supervision is required based on the protocol, the nurse practitioner must work under a physician from the practice group.

Conversely, in California, the regulations are very strict, and the practice scope of the advanced practice nurse practitioners is limited. To begin with, the state restricts the nurse practitioner from handling patients without the physician’s supervision. Besides, nurse practitioners are not authorized to make decisions regarding patient treatment and are, therefore, expected to work in the physician’s company. Secondly, unlike in Florida, nurse practitioners outside the state of California must submit endorsements of the applications (California Board of Registered Nursing, 2022). In Florida, on the other hand, individuals with master’s degrees from a credited institution anywhere in the state are allowed to practice. Accordingly, this is very unfair since the nurse practitioners are prepared to work fully within their scope during their training. Given the differences across the states, the advanced nurse practitioner should recognize and appreciate the limitations of the practice scope across the cities (Milstead & Short, 2019). This is crucial, especially for the advanced nurse practitioner who may be willing to relocate to another state.

Part 2: Reviewing the Literature

In the pursuit of civility at the workplace, Clark’s Healthy Workplace Inventory proves to be a critical tool. Civility is depicted in specific behaviours. These include honesty and politeness during communication, respect for other employees, courtesy, professional appropriateness in all communications, and trustworthiness. Civility is intended to achieve two objectives. First, it should create a work environment that encourages the engagement of all employees. Secondly, it enables the provision of better customer service due to a high level of engagement and teamwork. These actions match the definition of civility, which is ‘claiming and caring for one’s identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone else’s in the process’ (Reed, Whitten, & Jeremiah, 2019, p.168). The definition emphasizes fostering respect for other people’s respect and for oneself as well.

Pain is an unpleasant sensory or emotional stimulus that arises from actual or potential damage to tissues (Liyew et al., 2020). According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, pain is “a localized or generalized unpleasant bodily sensation or complex of sensations that causes mild to severe physical discomfort and emotional distress and typically results from bodily disorder (such as injury or disease).”  It is the most common nursing diagnosis and the most frequent presenting complaint about patients seeking medical help.

Chronic lifestyle conditions such as hypertension and diabetes are one of the leading causes of mortality globally. This is a cause of worry for the healthcare industry and policymakers. Many patients are diagnosed with lifestyle conditions daily, while millions are unaware that they have these conditions. The top lifestyle conditions affecting millions of individuals in the United States are diabetes, obesity, and hypertension (Lankarani & Assari, 2017). These statistics are alarming since these conditions are the leading causes of mortalities in the United States. These statistics show the need to improve efforts to combat these lifestyle conditions. These efforts may include public health promotion, patient follow-up, and provision of quality

According to Martinez et al. (2019), diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by the impaired metabolism of carbohydrates. Hyperglycemia occurs due to altered insulin secretion and can occur in the presence or absence of insulin resistance (Martinez et al., 2019). Type 2 diabetes mellitus can result from insulin resistance, inadequate secretion of insulin, or impaired glucagon secretion (Martinez et al., 2019). Early screening and close patient follow-up lead to a good prognosis of the disease (Martinez et al., 2019).

The Role of the RN-APRN in Policy-Making

The involvement of nurses in health policy development helps to enhance the safety, affordability, accessibility, and quality of health care (Shariff, 2017). Nurses can influence policies as they intimately interact with the clients, which helps them gain an appreciation of the healthcare needs of the patients and how they can facilitate these needs (Arabi et al., 2018). One of the opportunities for nurses to influence policy is through political participation. According to Shariff (2017), nurses often demonstrate some level of political participation even though this level is often restricted. In most cases, nurse leaders are commonly involved in the policy implementation stage

Op-ed Essay- The Benefits of Masks in Schools

The debate on whether school children should wear masks in schools should be mandated is argued from political and legal perspectives. However, the scientific viewpoint is much being ignored in such debates. Schools are a critical unit of the wider society. They are the basic infrastructure of communities. Accordingly, schools create an environment where children, adolescents, teachers, and other staff and individuals congregate.

In every nation, there is the existence of various types of social, economic, and other problems. A comprehensive study of economic conditions, activities, behavior of the society, identification of economic problems, cause, and effect of economic problems is simply known as economic analysis.

The government of the nation has to make various efforts to solve the economic problems of the nation or society. So, various measures that are to be taken to solve the problems of society are known as policy formulation. Economic analysis before the formulation of any socio-economic policy is mandatory for fruitful policy formulation and its implementation. A short description of some of the key roles of economic analysis in policy formulation is here in the picture

Primary Care Medication Management for Mrs. Lyons- Evidence-Based Responses and Rationales for Hypertension and Dyslipidemia

Mrs. Lyons is a 57-year-old African American female who recently developed headaches and had an elevated blood pressure reading at her work health fair. Her blood pressure was taken at the health fair, and the reading was 168/99. She has returned to the drugstore 3 other times to take her blood pressure. The readings have been 145/90, 150/89, and 140/88. At the health fair, she was told that her BMI was elevated. Her cholesterol levels were also measured at the health fair. The results were: total cholesterol level of 250, LDL 138, HDL 48, and Triglycerides 170.

She has not been to see a primary care provider in over 5 years. At her last office visit, which was 5 years ago, her blood pressure was (135/95). Her LDL and triglycerides were also elevated at that time. The patient was supposed to monitor her blood pressure at home and trial diet and lifestyle changes. She was supposed to return for a follow-up with her blood pressure log and for a recheck of her labs. She, unfortunately, did not do this.

Today in the clinic, her vital signs are:
BP 146/92, HR 90, Temp 98.4, RR 12, O2 98%, Height 5’5, Weight 220 lbs, BMI 36.6

She is not currently taking any medications. She has NKDA. Family history: her brother and sister both have been diagnosed with hypertension and DM. Diagnoses for the patient are HTN, Obesity, and Hyperlipidemia.

The Christian Biblical narrative states that God is the Creator of human beings and everything on earth (Grand Canyon University, 2020). He created Adam and Eve. God has dominion over all his creation. Additionally, He has the power to prevent pain and suffering. The first man and woman sinned and disobeyed God, which resulted in the fall (Grand Canyon University, 2020). Even though God is merciful, human beings must pay for their sins through pain and suffering. This is the life we live in a fallen world  (Orr, 2015).

All human body processes are significant and essential to establish health in individuals. Therefore, a healthy state involves processes involving feedback loops to maintain a balance that results in an ailing state when altered. This balance is defined as homeostasis, which is the ability of the body to achieve balance in its internal environment (Peate & Nair, 2017).

Modern healthcare is based on the holistic approach that tends to incorporate the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a human being. The healthcare providers consider all these elements important to the recovery of an individual. This perception has led to the consideration of holistic care as the standard of care. Thus, healthcare is connected to spirituality. It is through spirituality that facility founders are inspired to offer healthcare services. As such, spirituality matters are not confined to religion. Instead, they cut across the boundaries that are related to religion and medicine to become integral aspects of healthcare and incorporate ethics as well (Gula, 2000).

A research critique is important because it enables the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of an article. This guides a researcher in determining the relevance of the articles to the specific topic of study. This critique evaluates two qualitative research articles with the aim of evaluating different aspects of the selected studies. A summary of the studies will be provided, and the relevance of the study to the nursing practice issue identified. Furthermore, this paper will describe the methods and the findings of each of the studies and discuss the ethical considerations upheld by the authors of the articles.

Christianity views human life and the nature of persons as a gift from God.
Human persons are, thus, fundamentally creatures of God, created in God’s image (White, 2020). Essentially, the human person develops in line with the idea that God has for him and grows in the context of time and history (Cardinal Müller, 2017).  From this understanding, the Christian view of the nature of human life is that it is in existence and has an absolute value from the moment of conception until life ends naturally. God is considered the sole moral authority to determine when life begins and ends.

Jean Watson’s theory of informative caring identifies nursing as a healthcare profession focused on promoting health, preventing illness, providing care for the sick, and restoring health. According to Jean Watson, the central point in nursing is the human component and the encounter between the patient and the caregiver (Watson & Woodward, 2020). The theory describes human care as a process characterized by a transpersonal caring relationship. Such a relationship must be guided by humanistic values and the need to provide care and curative services. Jean Watson presented the patient as a whole; however, their body, mind,

The level of a leader’s emotional intelligence determines the effectiveness of their leadership. Emotional intelligence in leadership is important as it determines the attitudes, modes, motivation, and direction of relationships within an organization. Leaders are tasked with the role of effecting necessary changes and administrative duties within the organizations they serve. Emotional intelligence enables leaders to identify and understand possible emotional reactions to certain changes and organizational goals (Jiménez, 2018). A leader equipped with high emotional intelligence will understand why a change or a certain goal attracts certain

The range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status are known as determinants of health. Determinants of health fall under several broad categories: policymaking, social factors, health services, individual behavior, biology, and genetics. It is the interrelationships among these factors that determine individual and population health (Healthy People 2020, May 2020). Vulnerable populations include social groups with an increased relative risk or predisposition toward adverse health outcomes. Such as those in the Villa Health community; 204 residents are elderly with complex health conditions; 147 are physically disabled and/or use lip-reading or American Sign Language to communicate. According to (Reinhardt, 2011),

Nursing leaders influence their followers to strive willingly toward achieving specific goals. Nursing managers are involved in planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling staff (Amiri et al., 2020). Leaders advocate for transformation and mainly work with people. Conversely, managers rely on transactions and do not promote change (Gandolfi & Stone, 2018). Managers respond to change created by leaders and are interested in the process rather than individuals who bring change.

Leadership and management are key aspects of nursing practice. Leadership entails influencing people towards the achievement of set goals. Management involves a series of steps: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. This paper discusses nurse staffing ratios, their influence on delivering appropriate healthcare services, and how to uphold professional standards. Furthermore, it identifies the impact of leaders and managers in the nursing profession on nurse staffing ratios and leadership styles and describes qualities needed to maintain professionalism.

Annotated Bibliography and Summary- Medication Errors

Overview

Medication errors occur as the result of failures in treating a patient. Such errors present a serious health issue and a significant pushback on efforts made toward providing quality health care. Medication errors can occur due to prescription faults and errors, manufacturing drug formulation errors, dispensing and administration errors, and patient monitoring errors. Medication errors can cause mild to adverse effects on patients, resulting in harm or even death. A majority of the medication errors that occur within hospital settings due to nursing errors are preventable. Such errors can be intervened in response to the factors that lead to such errors. Potential interventions include medical staff education, improving drug packaging, patient medication safety training, adherence to drug administration guidelines, and use of medication administration technology. As giving medication is a central role in nursing, a nurse needs to understand the causes of medication errors and how to prevent them during the patient treatment process.

A successful Systems Development and Implementation (SDLC) process is dependent on the partnerships between various stakeholders in the project. The implementation of the new nursing documentation system will require input from the end-users to meet the objectives of its implementation. The lack of partnerships may affect the ability of the IT project implemented to achieve its desired goals and prolong the SDLC, which will impact overall project costs (Jeong et al., 2022). As a representative of the end-users, a nurse leader will be a part of the team developing and implementing the new nursing documentation system.

Nurses have a professional responsibility that extends to moral and ethical obligations permeating the profession. The responsibility is identified by standards related to morals, integrity, collaboration with other medical personnel, social change, and patient care. Nurses must be aware of these standards and uphold them since violations could result in disciplinary action by the nursing board or even the loss of license. Through posting inappropriate social media content, nurses reflect adversely on themselves and also the associated medical organization. This is particularly of concern when the content involves the patients’ rights thereby violating HIPAA provisions (Black, 2020). To be more precise, concerns are presented when the social media content includes disparaging remarks about patients, sexually suggestive images, profane and biased language, and infringements on patient confidentiality. For instance, if a patient comes into the medical facility drunk and ends up urinating on himself, then taking a picture of that patient in wet cloths and posting it on social media would be considered a violation of the required standards of conduct. HIPAA is particularly concerned with patient confidentiality with violations that identify the patient outside the strict realms of care provision being considered unprofessional and unethical. Irrespective of whether the information disclosure was intentional or unintentional, it would still be considered a breach of HIPPA regulations (Black, 2020).

After reviewing my social media accounts, I have noticed that some of the content in my page could be regarded as inappropriate. The inappropriate conversations and posts involved discussions about patients’ cases, particularly the unique cases that stand out. For instance, cases in which patients appear to make illogical decisions. An example that stands out is one in which a patient declined to accept dialysis simply because he preferred going to a faith healer.

For instance, cases in which patients appear to make illogical decisions. An example that stands out is one in which a patient declined to accept dialysis simply because he preferred going to a faith healer.

With technological advances in recent years, social media platforms have been continually diversifying and are now even applicable in business and professional activities. Following this, social media users can share all kinds of information. There are various social media platforms, including Snapchat, Instagram, telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter. The platforms give the users the freedom to post anything and for which the information may be used to evaluate professionalism (Barnabale et al., 2018).

Evidence-based clinical theories and scientifically founded study outcomes on clinical practice are critical for aligning clinical-based professionalism together with patient-founded values for steering high-quality healthcare decisions. This framework encompasses the utilization of empirical scientific proof within various forms of clinical studies. The clinical studies may be in the form of randomized controlled trials (Lehane et al., 2019). The clinical studies may also involve the use of descriptive alongside qualitative studies, case studies, and scientific-based standards, together with clinical professional ideologies and opinions.

Through the underlining of the pertinent evidence-based study information, there is the enablement for the guiding of evidence-based clinical practice. This context is critical in guaranteeing a continuum of healthcare quality improvement initiatives (Lehane et al., 2019). The elements are highly linked to person-centered outcomes and improved safety for individuals and communities.

This evidence-based research article is founded on underlining postoperative patients’ healthcare literacy initiatives by a medical-surgical unit. The basis is in regard to the need for improving postoperative care coupled with extensive and remote evaluation and monitoring of wounds for the at-risk population. Through this foundation, there is the enablement for the provision of educational guidance for dressing wounds. There is also the need to adhere to nutritional diets such as fruit and vegetables and conform to the recommended treatment interventions and medication plans.

The context reflects the use of evidence-based clinical theories for consensus decision-making. The theoretical framework is facilitated by the collaborating multidisciplinary teams endeavoring to attain the agreed-upon objective of patients’ participative-based handling of postoperative wounds. Also, the theoretical context is founded on increasing healthcare literacy initiatives so that patients can be extensively involved in personal care for their wounds. The patients are therefore educated on the need for being continuously involved in associations with clinical settings and community settings nurses.

The basis helps facilitate a smooth transition of healthcare from one care settings to the next for an effective continuum of care. As a result, there is an improved aptitude for the prevention of hospital readmissions due to wound infections. Also, there is the realization of quality person-centered outcomes for postoperative patients.

Despite sharing some similarities, leadership and management have distinct and significant differences. Managers exercise the authority assigned to them by the organization and use it to drive the different resources assigned to them to achieve company goals. They accomplish this by making decisions and controlling and evaluating programs. Their roles and responsibilities are specific, and they use their authority to direct all subordinates regardless of the absence or absence of resistance (Whitney et al., 2022). On the flip side, leaders are visioners who achieve their goals by influencing, empowering, and improving interpersonal relationships. They draw power from influencing people.

The non-profit organization United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is a global organization “that works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their full potential” (UNICEF, n.d.). This organization was put in place to help children around the world, especially those most vulnerable. In this paper, we are going to review how the missions and vision of UNICEF contribute to public health and safety through the work the organization has done. Next, we will evaluate the organization’s ability to promote equal opportunity and improve quality of life within communities and the implications of barriers related to social, cultural, economic, and physical within the community. We will assess the impact of funding sources, policy, and legislation on UNICEF’s service delivery. Lastly, an explanation of how the organization’s work impacts the health of the local community and how nurses can become involved with UNICEF.

Contributions to Public Health and Safety Improvements

The mission and vision of UNICEF are “to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help them meet their basic needs and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential” (UNICEF, n.d.). The organization states that survival, protection, and development are imperative to the human process (UNICEF, n.d.). UNICEF mobilizes political will, in particular in developing countries, to create appropriate policies and deliver services for children and families (UNIFEC, n.d.). The organization responds in emergencies to protect children’s rights and is committed to ensuring special protection for the most disadvantaged (UNICEF, n.d.). They are anti-discriminatory and promote the equal rights of women and girls (UNICEF, n.d). Advocating for the protection of children’s rights to help meet basic needs enables the organization to promote policies that can improve public health and safety, such as access to clean drinking water and food, vaccinations, or preventative health care. Through the goals and work of UNICEF surrounding healthcare initiatives, they aim “to treat diseases and strengthen healthcare systems so that children, adolescents, and women of reproductive age have access to affordable, quality healthcare,” especially those in harder-to-reach and under-developed communities (UNICEF, n.d.). One way we can see this being done is through a collective effort with the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), International Council of Nurses (ICN), International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetricians (FIGO), and International Pediatric Association (IPA) to define competent maternal and newborn health professionals (WHO et al., 2018). This statement was created to improve a previous statement in 2004, “Making pregnancy safe: The critical role of skilled attendants,” which both statements were created to reach the approved goal/agenda of 2030 according to the 17 Sustainable Goals created by these organizations (WHO et al., 2018). The goals were created to reduce maternal and newborn deaths by 2030, and the statements were created to a standard and universal definition of what it entails to be a competent healthcare professional in order to assure appropriate and safe care for women and children in pre-pregnancy, antenatal care, intrapartum care, postpartum and postnatal care, and newborn care in order to improve the care of these individuals with the end goal of decreased deaths to this population (WHO et al., 2018). Through these statements and initiatives, UNICEF is able to improve the quality of care and improve the life expectancy and health of these individuals on a global scale and can be used to benefit the women and children of the world, supporting the organization’s mission and vision and promoting public health safety those it was created for

As stated earlier and within the mission statement of UNICEF, one of the main objectives of the organization is to promote equal opportunity and gender equality and rights for girls and women through “support of full participation in political, social and economic developments within their communities” (UNICEF, n.d.). This is seen through the Gender Action Plan 2018-2021 to support the sustainable developmental goals created by this organization and the ones mentioned previously (UNICEF, 2019). The main objective is to promote gender equality for boys and girls in care and support w

A global pandemic such as COVID-19 could create humanitarian crises that challenge the legitimacy of international organizations and institutions. The coronavirus created a humanitarian crisis in some countries, particularly in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, which had strained international resources and raised questions about how to best respond. The pandemic also resulted in widespread human suffering and a humanitarian crisis on an international scale. It also had a significant impact on international relations, with countries around the world struggling to cope with the outbreak (Askary & Fallah, 2020). The pandemic highlighted the need for greater international cooperation to effectively address global challenges.

A serious threat to mental health was posed to the world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a changing and yet significant increase in issues of mental health among the vulnerable groups and the general population as suggested by multiple lines of evidence.

International relation is a positivist inquiry of the global world, including the forces and relations shaping the international context. The leading perspective of international relations is the common behaviors among nations, including trade volumes, commercial behavior, state-to-state relations, and interaction of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and multinational corporations (MNCs). Given the critical role of the international system, global pandemics such as the COVID-19 significantly impacts the international relations. The coronavirus pandemic has impacted the international relations, causing diplomatic tensions and attracting a significant rethinking of existing policies to international relations. Ideally, a global pandemic such as COVID-19 presented a lot of challenges to conventional ways of theorizing international relations, resulting to reduced multilateral cooperation, increase in economic nationalism, changes in international system, ruined diplomatic relations, and tensions in international trade.

The hospitality industry is one of the economy’s leading sectors that offers customers services. The industry depends mainly on tourism and visitation, and the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 posed a detrimental effect on the hospitality industry. This paper will highlight the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hotels, restaurants, bars, and events and how this impact can affect the future of these business operations.

thical Implications and Sustainable Leadership in the Post-Pandemic Environment

The ethical implications and impacts of business objectives and sustainable Leadership have become increasingly important in today’s business environment. As society becomes more conscious of the impact of business on the environment and society, companies are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable and ethical practices (Carroll, 1991). Business objectives, such as increasing profitability or expanding market share, can sometimes conflict with the needs and interests of stakeholders, such as employees, customers, and the environment (Friedman, 1970). Sustainable Leadership, on the other hand, is focused on balancing economic, social and environmental considerations to create long-term value for all stakeholders (Elkington, 1997).

Business objectives can positively and negatively impact stakeholders, depending on how they are pursued (Carroll, 1991). For example, a company that prioritizes cost-cutting measures over employee well-being may negatively impact the health and safety of its workers (Smith, 2018). On the other hand, a company that prioritizes social responsibility and sustainability may create positive impacts, such as reducing its environmental footprint and supporting the well-being of its workers and local communities (Jones, 2019).

Similarly, sustainable Leadership can have positive and negative implications for stakeholders (Elkington, 1997). For example, a leader who prioritizes sustainability may make decisions that benefit the environment and society at the expense of the company’s financial performance, which in turn may negatively impact shareholders (Johnson, 2020). On the other hand, a leader who prioritizes sustainable development may create long-term value for the company, its shareholders, and all other stakeholders (Williams, 2021).

It is important for business leaders to consider the ethical implications and impacts of business objectives and sustainable Leadership and to engage effectively and responsibly with stakeholders to maintain competitive advantages, especially in the post-Covid-19 business environment (World Economic Forum, 2021). Sustainable Leadership is a practice that balances economic, social, and environmental considerations to create long-term value for all stakeholders (Elkington, 1997). It is an approach that prioritizes the well-being of society and the environment rather than focusing solely on economic gain (Carroll, 1991). This style of Leadership emphasizes the need for an integrated and holistic approach that considers the long-term impacts of business decisions on society and the environment, as well as its immediate economic outcomes (World Economic Forum, 2021). This concept is vital to understand the importance of taking into account the social and environmental factors in the decision-making process of a business.

Business objectives refer to the specific goals or targets that a company aims to achieve (Friedman, 1970). These objectives can include increasing profitability, expanding market share, or increasing brand awareness (Jones, 2019). Business objectives are crucial to a company’s success as they provide a clear direction for decision-making and resource allocation, aligning the company’s efforts towards a common goal. However, when business objectives need to be properly aligned with ethical considerations and the needs of stakeholders, they can create conflicts and negative impacts (Smith, 2018).

Stakeholders are individuals or groups affected by a business’s actions (Carroll, 1991). They can include customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders, and the community (Johnson, 2020). Stakeholders are crucial for the long-term success of a business, as they provide the necessary resources and support for a company to operate. Effective stakeholder engagement is important for businesses to identify and address different stakeholders’ needs and concerns and create mutually beneficial solutions (Williams, 2021).

In the current business environment, companies are increasingly pressured to adopt sustainable and ethical practices that align with their stakeholders’ needs (World Economic Forum, 2021). Consumers, investors and other stakeholders are becoming more conscious of the impact of business on society and the environment, and they expect companies to act responsibly (Smith, 2018). Companies prioritizing sustainable Leadership and effective stakeholder engagement are better positioned to create long-term value and competitive advantages (Elkington, 1997).

It is important to note that these concepts are interrelated and impact each other (Carroll, 1991). Sustainable Leadership, for example, requires an understanding of the needs and expectations of stakeholders (Johnson, 2020) and the alignment of business objectives with ethical and sus

Before the spread of Covid-19, Burberry was widely regarded as a global leader in the luxury goods industry thanks to its effective leadership and management. The company’s management style synthesised transformational leadership, strategic planning, and environmentally responsible operations (Jokinen, 2023).

Marco Gobbetti, CEO of Burberry from July 2017 until his departure in July 2021, oversaw the company’s push towards innovation and digital transformation (the Guardian, 2021). According to Gobbetti, keeping Burberry’s rich tradition in step with modern fashion trends was crucial to the company’s success. The ideas of transformational leadership, which encourage and inspire followers to perform at a high level, were mirrored in this method.

Psychoanalytic group theory examines group dynamics to comprehend how social ties influence individuals. Understanding group members’ behavior, thoughts, and emotions is important to comprehend their relationships, ambitions, and disputes. Numerous schools of thought have emerged within psychoanalytic group theory, each with its methodology and area of emphasis. I will look at a modern psychoanalytic group theory school that interests me in this session.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the hospitality sector with hitherto unheard-of difficulties. As a committed student researcher, I spent Week 12 researching how COVID-19 affected hospitality interviews. This study carefully seeks to compile and examine the gathered qualitative information.

An Argumentative Essay on Death Penalty

Introduction

In the United States of America today, it has been realized that the death penalty or capital punishment concept has been a much –questioned part of the present criminal justice system. Based on the online Webster dictionary research, the death penalty is defined as a form of judicially ordered execution of prisoners that acts as punishment for serious crimes that relate to treason

For many years, social and political conversations focusing on capital punishment in the United States have been deeply emotive and divisive. American citizens have held opposing viewpoints on this controversial subject. A Gallup poll conducted in 2006 sought to establish whether American citizens preferred either

Capital punishment is a practice where the state punishes serious crimes by imposing death. This practice has been around for many years but has been controversial for at least the last hundred years. Its use is vehemently opposed by many who argue it violates human rights and offends justice. It is argued that capital punishment does not deter crime, a key goal of law enforcement

Univ 1212: Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving

Introduction

Death penalty is one of the most controversial issues that have created endless debates in the US and all nations worldwide. The concept of capital punishment, sometimes known as the death penalty, is the notion that a criminal can be executed for the perpetrated crime. Murder and treason are two of the most common capital crimes. In certain nations, other crimes such as murder, drug trafficking, crime against humanity, and adultery have also been designated as capital offenses and committing such crimes results in death.

It is not amusing that some states and jurisdictions still use the death penalty. The death sentence violates legal procedures and equal rights to legal protection. The U.S., Japan, China, and Saudi Arabia, are among the minority jurisdictions where capital punishment is still in effect despite being abolished in more than 70% of the world’s nations (Banner, 2022). Capital punishment is a divisive topic in the United States, with some states maintaining it while others have outlawed it or placed moratoriums on its use. The death penalty has been abolished in three states: Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire (Banner, 2022).

The Role of Planaria as a Model Organism in Understanding Drug Effects and Human Health

Introduction

Studying how drugs affect living things involves examining simple animals like planaria worms. Studying how people react to medicine can show how much a drug helps body tissue heal. This could be useful for helping human tissue repair and grow. Studying how calming drugs affect planaria’s healing helps us understand how they might affect the human body. This information is really important for making healthcare better and creating new medicines. Pharmaceutical companies make money by knowing the positive and negative effects of a drug when it becomes available to the public (Deochand et al., 2018). Healthcare workers need to know how medicines affect the body’s ability to heal and grow to take better care of patients. New information tells us that it is important to know how drugs work when testing them on people. Studying how drugs affect planaria worms can help us learn how they might affect people, especially how they help heal and grow new tissue. This paper discusses why studying planaria’s ability to regrow body parts helps understand how drugs work (Mohammed et al., 2018). Studying planaria can help people stay healthy. This study is important because it helps to create new drugs, healthcare choices, and basic scientific knowledge.

Introduction

Salmonella and Listeria, notorious bacterial pathogens, cast ominous shadows on the landscape of the food industry, representing considerable threats to public health and safety. Salmonella, a prolific agent of foodborne illnesses, and Listeria monocytogenes, known for its propensity to cause severe infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals, demand rigorous scrutiny in the realm of food microbiology (Kolypetri et al.,2023). The gravity of their impact underscores the necessity for robust methodologies in identifying and isolating these pathogens to ensure the safety of consumable products.

The Experience

Urine collection is part of the specimen collection, which aids in determining which pathogens are responsible for a disease. The most important lesson I learned from urine collection is knowing the correct way of collecting and labelling a specimen for analysis. Moreover, I got to know the proper way of gathering the specimen to protect myself and prevent the spread of the disease. One of the experiences in urine collection was when a male patient, 45, had a suspected kidney ailment and was required to provide a urine sample for testing. As a nurse, I am positioned to provide them with the necessary guidelines to obtain the required specimen.

As one of the senior AI researchers at Google and working in this rapidly developing area, particularly where a large language model is concerned, I have to deal with ethical issues about such powerful technologies. Given the growing hegemony of big language models, we should consider the ethics that such trends breed. My challenges revolve around the environmental costs, financial barriers in these models, and massive problems of stereotypes, promotion of extremism, and misjudicial arrests.

Technology has produced a culture in which new inventions are constantly changing our daily routines, jobs, and how we interact with one another. Many of these technological improvements are excellent; they enhance our quality of life, increase productivity, and provide us with more access to necessities. This article examines how developing technologies such as big data, blockchain, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) impact organizations. It goes on to demonstrate the various ways in which these technologies could alleviate the issues caused by digitalization.

According to Gatt et al. (2023), respiratory diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality across all age groups. Bronchitis and RSV respiratory infections are the most common ones, with infants considered to be more predisposed; however, adults can also develop this condition. Pathophysiology is fundamental for respiratory diseases as it provides doctors with accurate diagnosis and treatment, leading to better outcomes. Moreover, RSV and bronchitis should be fully understood to enable effective immunizations, therapies, or prevention.

The dynamic invention and innovation in the computer science and engineering field, and the influence of technological advancements highlight the necessity of ethical issues. However, as the use of innovative technologies increases in society, the ethical issues arising out of their development, implementation, and utilization assume greater significance (Martin, et al 8). The junction of computer science and engineering with ethical considerations leads to a vibrant discussion that defines the ethics landscape in the industry. This study of the ethical considerations within the fields of computer science and engineering is not only about the issues we face today but also a pathway to a more conscious and ethical future of technology (Diakopoulos, Nicholas, and Deborah Johnson. 2089).

It’s a pediatric form of atopic dermatitis that can occur in people of any age. Many other atopic conditions, like asthma and also allergic rhinitis, usually develop around the same time as atopic dermatitis. Although multifaceted, it is considered to have multifactorial etiology (i.e., genetic and also environmental factors). Atopic eczema is a very severely ill condition that has a significant impact on the quality of life, is prevalent across different age groups, and is caused by complex hereditary and environmental effects (Lifschitz, 2015).

The Threat of Cyber Technology on Privacy

As the world evolves and more so in technology, change has become an inevitable aspect in every field and industry at a global level. The nursing industry has so far been part of this evolution by adapting new and more efficient change protocols to be able to better provide quality medical services to patients from the bedside healthcare providers to the boardroom members. Some of the most commonly adopted change theories in the field of nursing include Lewin’s theory, Lippitt’s theory built on Lewin’s, Kotter’s eight-step change model, and Rodger’s theory. According to Burrow, Annamaraju &Toney (2022), the most common problem experienced in the healthcare industry today is that nearly two-thirds of all change projects end up failing across healthcare industries due to reasons such as poor planning, poor communication, overworked and unmotivated staff and at times overwhelm from a sudden induction of too many change protocols at once. The use of various practices derived from subsequent change theories can prove beneficial in the improvement of the odds for success and overall practice.

Theories of Health Promotion

Health promotion is a crucial aspect of nursing practice, and several theoretical frameworks provide guidance for understanding and influencing health-related behaviors. The Pender's Health Promotion Model focuses on the multidimensional nature of individuals and their interactions with the environment to pursue health. This model emphasizes the importance of individual characteristics, experiences, and behavioral-specific cognitions and affect in shaping health-promoting behaviors.

Another prominent theory is the Health Belief Model, which suggests that an individual's decision to engage in a health-related behavior is influenced by their perceived susceptibility to a disease, the perceived severity of the condition, the perceived benefits of the action, and the perceived barriers to taking the action. This model helps nurses understand the cognitive factors that shape an individual's motivation to adopt healthy behaviors.

The Transtheoretical Theory, also known as the Stages of Change model, posits that behavior change occurs in a series of stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Each stage is characterized by specific cognitive and behavioral processes that must be addressed for successful change. This theory provides a framework for tailoring interventions to an individual's readiness for change.

The Theory of Reasoned Action suggests that an individual's intention to perform a behavior is the best predictor of that behavior, and this intention is influenced by the individual's attitude toward the behavior and the subjective norms surrounding the behavior. This theory emphasizes the role of social influences and personal beliefs in shaping health-related behaviors.

Health Behaviors for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

Effective health promotion and disease prevention strategies should target a range of health behaviors, including:

Healthy eating and nutrition: Promoting balanced diets, increased fruit and vegetable consumption, and reducing intake of processed and high-calorie foods.
Regular physical activity and exercise: Encouraging aerobic exercise, strength training, and activities that improve flexibility and balance.
Stress management and relaxation techniques: Teaching stress-reduction methods, such as meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness practices.
Substance abuse prevention: Implementing smoking cessation programs, alcohol moderation strategies, and education on the harms of illicit drug use.
Preventive screenings and immunizations: Increasing awareness and access to recommended preventive health services, such as cancer screenings, vaccinations, and regular check-ups.
Safety practices: Promoting the use of seat belts, safe driving behaviors, and injury prevention measures.
Chronic disease self-management: Empowering individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, to actively manage their health.
Mental health promotion and emotional well-being: Addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and social isolation, and fostering positive coping mechanisms.
Transcultural Nursing and Community Health Nursing

Applying the principles of transcultural nursing to community health nursing is essential for delivering culturally competent and responsive care. Nurses must assess the cultural characteristics, health beliefs, and practices of the target community, and adapt their interventions and health promotion strategies accordingly. Collaborating with community leaders, elders, and stakeholders is crucial to ensure the relevance and acceptability of health programs.

By respecting and integrating the community's values, traditions, and preferences, nurses can empower and engage the community in the design, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion initiatives. This approach fosters trust, enhances community ownership, and increases the likelihood of sustainable, long-term health outcomes.

Critical Theory and Environmental Health Nursing

The basic concepts of critical theory can provide valuable insights for environmental health nursing. By examining the power structures, social inequities, and contextual factors that contribute to environmental health disparities, nurses can better identify and address the root causes of these issues.

Critical theory encourages nurses to analyze the impact of environmental hazards, such as air pollution, water contamination, or toxin exposure, on vulnerable populations. This analysis can then inform the development of policies and interventions that address these systemic problems, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Furthermore, critical theory empowers communities to participate actively in the decision-making processes tha

Crime Statistics Sources: Strengths and Weaknesses

Think tanks behind the juvenile justice systems intended to create rehabilitative mechanisms to reform juvenile offenders of minor crimes. However, it seems as if the youth perpetrate their crimes because they know that they do not stand punished by the juvenile justice system (Flesch 583). Suffice to say, the youths are protected by the outdated justice system that fails to nab the offenders and treat them like so. In order for a society to feel accommodated in the process of administration of justice and to deter more juveniles from perpetrating these serious crimes, criminals should be held accountable regardless of their age (Flesch 583; Pullmann 484).

Should Abortion Be Banned?

Should Abortion Be Banned?

Despite numerous discussions and studies regarding the advantages and disadvantages of abortions from social, physiological and psychological perspectives, the issue remains a problematic area that requires an additional analysis. In order to embrace the concern fully and understand the implications of the pro-abortion decision, one should consider integrating both the consequentialist and the deontological standpoints into the conversation.

Reflection on “A Defense of Abortion” by Judith Jarvis Thomson

Introduction

Despite the fact that abortion has been widely practiced by the whole of mankind since thousands of years before, it is a matter that still evokes deep emotions and debate. The very nature of the process raises the primary question regarding life: What is the true value of human life? Moreover, abortion is directly related to various issues including the right of women to manage their physical state, the responsibility of the law to protect the unborn child, the conflicting ideas of secularism and religion regarding human life, the participation of the father and parents in the decision-making, and the clashing rights of the mother and the unborn child (United Nations, 2001).

Introduction

In the case study “Fetal Abnormality”, four characters face the same problem that is an abnormal condition of a fetus and the necessity to decide if to save a child or to consider abortion as the only appropriate solution. Each character takes a certain position and finds it necessary to support this choice by any possible means. For example, Marco, a father of a family, does not want to inform the wife about potential problems with their future child and tries to support his wife with any decision of hers. Dr. Wilson, a primary attending physician, offers abortion from a medical and “scientific” point of view. Aunt Maria, who had been providing the couple with home during the last three years before they moved, believes in the power of God and suggests having a child and believing that God can save all of them. In her turn, Jessica, the wife, is torn between her hopes and her socioeconomic concerns.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the infectious diseases which affect the lungs.  Unlike other diseases, this communicable syndrome is caused by more than a single agent. Today, TB is the second leading killer in the world. In fact, a report posted by Mclntosh (2017) on the Medical News Today shows that over 1.8 million people die from the syndrome while 10.4 million falls sick. In the nineteenth century, this epidemic was widespread in North America and Europe until the microbial causes were identified. Because of this discovery, vaccines and drugs were introduced; thus, making people believe that the disease was defeated. In fact, even the UN had predicted that TB would be no more by 2025 (Mclntosh, 2017). However, the situation worsened in the subsequent years leading to the WHO decision to declare it a global emergency. The disease continues to cause havoc among the global population leading to this research.

Based on the “Healing and Autonomy” case study, fill out all the relevant boxes below. Provide the information by means of bullet points or a well-structured paragraph in the box. Gather as much data as possible.

When it comes to my professional practice, the nursing theory that has influenced by  Values and Goals is that of Watson on ‘Human Caring'.  The theory suggests that the nursing process will entail building relationships between one person to the other to ensure care and support is focussed on the patient so as to achieve the highest degree of harmony in the mind body and soul. From a study which was conducted on Watson's theory on the mental health status of pregnant women after losing their baby, it was found to have a very positive effect. When a was assigned to work in the maternity ward during my internship, this theory was very vital in my daily engagement and ensuring that I delivered my services as required (Alligood & Tomey, 2010). It is also during this time that I had to deal with patients that experienced the loss of their children after delivery and during postnatal care.

With the issue of burnout, the nurse working in the healthcare facility is supposed to ensure the provision of the best quality care as possible for all their patients no regardless of their cultural values, beliefs, preferences and health behaviors; especially when dealing with children since the intervention of parents and other caregivers will be paramount.

In other words, explain what knowledge and skills a care coordinator should demonstrate for this role. such as knowledge of legal and ethical considerations as well as stakeholder and interprofessional team collaboration, being culturally competent, and knowing how to assess and use data to enhance care.

The health care sector collects data from various sources like medical records, billing records, patient’s surveys, and administrative enrollment records to reduce health care costs and improve patient’s outcomes. Additionally, healthcare providers use data outcomes to enhance clinical care, generate new information, and streamline their surveillance process (Pastorino et al., 2019)

The acculturation experience for new graduate nurses to the culture of the nursing profession is demanding and challenging. The new graduate nurses are expected to leave their structured nursing school environment and enter professional practice, which causes transition and reality shock for these nurses. As a result, new graduate nurses’ provision of substandard care and intention to leave the profession increases. Thus, Powers, Herron, & Pagel (2019) maintain that the successful acculturation of new graduate nurses depends on their ability to build confidence and acquire necessary clinical reasoning abilities as they are oriented in their new role. For instance, patient care in a critical care setting is fast-paced and complex, exerting considerable pressure on new graduates

Additional information:   The readings and viewings in this module explore the various stages in organizational human resourcing. This discussion board will explore those phases; hiring, performance evaluation, professional development, and succession planning.

• Hiring practices have a great influence on the success of an organization. What is your experience with how organizations have made those choices? Regina Hartley’s Ted Talk video presents a unique view of the ‘scrapper” Would you hire a “scrapper”? Why or why not?
• Employees expect and need feedback on their performance. An organization must evaluate if employees can and do meet job expectations. How employee feedback and performance reviews are designed and carried out have a significant influence on employee satisfaction and retention. Daniel Pink’s Ted Talk speaks to employee motivation in business settings and the article by Hopson, Petri, & Kufera discusses the concept of embeddedness in an acute care setting. Daniel Pink discusses varying incentives and some of the considerations in deploying incentives. Pink focuses on three elements for employees to be motivated at work: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Hopson, et al. (2018) evaluated the concept of embeddedness. What similarities, differences do you see in these views? What has been your experience with employers addressing this aspect of employee experience?
• The articles by Pool, Poell, Berings & Cate (2015)  and Weirich ( 2017) discuss professional development and the varying needs of the workforce based on age and experience level. Based on where you are in your career/life do agree with the authors? Why or why not?
• Succession planning is being more broadly deployed in business and healthcare. Do you think succession planning is an integral part of organizational leadership? Have you worked in organizations where succession planning was evident? Glassman and Withall (2018) discuss learning agility as a mechanism to evaluate potential. 

 Effective communication is crucial in the nursing profession. Nurses and allied healthcare workers should share information to enhance service delivery.  As a result, the nursing profession designed standardized languages to assist doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers to share information effectively, clearly, and swiftly. 

Introduction

The roles of nurse educators extend beyond providing nursing education to the students. The educators play major functions and follow the traditional triad of teaching, scholarship, and service. Individuals new to the nurse educator profession come to the teaching environment with different models. They can be an adjunct faculty member, guest lecturer, or mentor to the students. The improvement in nursing education and the emergence of the graduate and doctoral programs influence the increase in the number of well-educated nurses. 

The comprehension of patient’s perspective is crucial to providing patient-centered care. Patient attributes like language preference, ethnicity, and race determines their view of the accessed care (Herrin,  Mockaitis, & Hines, 2018).  Taking the demographic profile of the patient population into consideration is necessary to facilitate effective communication between healthcare providers and patients. Therefore, cultural competence enhances effective communication with patients from diverse backgrounds

How the nurses used political strategies to influence the decision

Politics influence distinct aspects of organizational functions. However, navigating organizational political dynamics requires individuals to use manipulation, persuasion, and negotiation techniques to exert influence (Montalvo, 2015). As per the case scenario, the nurses use persuasion strategies to influence the decision. For instance, they use persuasion skills to convince the financial officer that the most expensive telemetry heart monitors would enhance care delivery. They support their arguments by devising a proposal that highlights the expensive system’s benefit over the affordable one. For instance, the expensive system would result in an uninterrupted patient flow and would meet the emergency department, intensive care unit, and the intermediate care unit’s needs. Additionally, the system would result in cost savings in the long-term and boost patient outcomes.  Their convincing facts that the expensive system is better than the cheaper one helped them gain support from several local cardiologists and the bio-med representative whose mother was in the ICU and would benefit from the system. Thus, the nurses in the case study used persuasion to influence the decision to purchase the expensive system. 

Why Black Women Are At High Risk of Dying From Pregnancy Complications

 Black women are subjected to disproportionate maternal health outcomes leading to high death rates related to pregnancy complications. Health system and societal factors contribute to maternal mortality and poor health outcomes among African American women. These women are more likely to experience racial discrimination and other barriers while accessing health care services (Taylor et al., 2019). Structural racism in social service and healthcare delivery results in African American women accessing poor care quality than their white counterparts. Additionally, they are not treated with respect and dignity and are denied necessary care when in pain.  Institutional racism places black women at high risk of dying from pregnancy complications. 

Background of the Issue

The United States considers high maternal mortality rates a significant public health issue. Although the government has channeled adequate resources to improve hospital-based maternity care, United States is ranked among the worst industrialized nations for pregnancy-related mortality rates (Madeline, 2020). However, from a global perspective, the country’s maternal mortality rates are low but are increasing rapidly among African American women. These women face disparity in accessing maternal care resulting in poor health outcomes. Historically, African American populations have been denied opportunities for quality and safe care.  As a result, African American women receive reduced healthcare quality and are given less attention while accessing care. The inequality is prevalent among pregnant African American women who are four times likely to succumb to pregnancy-related complications (CDC, 2019). Healthcare disparities contribute to poor quality of care and pregnancy-related complications among African American pregnant women.

System barriers, including sexism and racism, contribute to income inequality and poor health outcomes among African American women. According to the National Partnership for Women & Families (2018), Black women’s median wages are $36,227 annually. The amount is $21,698 less than white, non-Hispanic men’s median wages. Because of these income differences, African American Women and their dependents have inadequate finances to support their households. Additionally, they are forced to choose between healthcare, food, childcare, and housing because of their inadequate income. Thus, African Americans’ poor economic status affects their use of healthcare services and health outcomes.

 Limited access to insurance coverage undermines African American women’s access to quality and safe care. According to National Partnership for Women & Families (2018), African American women are underinsured because of their socioeconomic status.  These financial barriers limit African Americans’ access to necessary care, including prenatal care. Consequently, African American women suffer from preventable chronic health illnesses and medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. These health conditions affect pregnant women‘s health outcomes. Lack of adequate finances causes African American women to remain underinsured and suffer from preventable medical conditions that influence their pregnancy outcomes.

 Risk Factors Contributing to Black Women Disparity in Healthcare

 Pregnant black women are exposed to multiple risk factors like low socioeconomic status, poverty, poor physical health, and restricted to prenatal care access. According to American progress, these disparities emerge from African American’s women gender and racial discrimination in their lives. The disparities are as described:

Socioeconomic and Poverty Status

Despite controlling socio-economic status and education, black women are still at increased risk for infant and maternal mortality. Also, after controlling for health status, maternal age, and gestational age, the likelihood of dying from delivery or pregnancy complications are three times higher than non-Hispanic women(Novoa & Taylor, 2018). The authors also indicate that college-educated black women are likely to lose their babies than non-Hispanic white peers with the same level of education. These analyses suggest that both educated and non-educated African American women face disparities in accessing healthcare services. Black women, whether educated or undereducated are undervalued by the healthcare system. They are not monitored as their white counterparts. According to American Heart Association News (2019), healthcare workers tend to dismiss African American women’s symptoms, as in Serena Williams’

According to the ethical principle of self-determination and autonomy, healthcare providers should inform patients if a medication error occurs. Therefore, even if the organization requires healthcare providers to report medication errors, they should inform patients about the errors regardless of the consequences. According to the principle of nonmaleficence and beneficence, healthcare workers should avoid harm. Instead, they should focus on the patient’s best interest (Sorrell, 2017).  Therefore, healthcare providers should take necessary actions to minimize adverse consequences caused by medication errors.  

Describing the Healthcare Problem of Issue

The healthcare issue is medication error. The annual cost of tackling medication error is approximately $6billion and $ 29 billion annually (Foster et al., 2018). Although student nurses and other health professionals take an oath not to harm their patients, medication error remains a significant public health challenge that undermines patient safety. Various reasons prevent healthcare providers from reporting these errors.  In their study, Soydemir et al. (2017) found that fear prevented healthcare professionals from reporting medication errors. Nurses and physicians prefer not to report the errors they witness or commit for fear of being condemned or blamed. Also, hospital administration does not offer nurses and physicians adequate support when reporting errors, thus, diminishing their likelihood of reporting the error. Other barriers to error reporting include a lack of an error reporting system or complicated reporting systems that are difficult to use or lacks functionality.  In summary, medication errors are preventable, but individual and organizational factors undermine reporting these errors.

Possible Causes of Medication Errors

Various factors contribute to medication errors. They include exposure to illegal prescription, insufficient medication knowledge, incorrect calculations, staffing levels, workloads, interruptions, distractions, and drug rounds.  According to Kavanagh (2017), illegal prescriptions contribute to medication errors because they undermine safe prescription policies. Although computer-based systems minimize medication errors, not all healthcare settings have implemented them.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) can be defined as a structured intervention that focuses on the interpersonal issues facing the patient suffering from mental illnesses (Johnson et al.2019). IPT is based on the close relationship between mental illnesses and interpersonal issues including unemployment, loss of a close relative and financial struggles. The health care provider should explore the patient’s perceptions, previous experiences and expectations to determine the interpersonal problems facing the patient

Malaria has become a major pandemic in the global stretch affecting people mainly in Africa. Malaria is a killer disease in Africa amidst the efforts to reduce the infection rates and mortality rates. The United Nations Children’s Funds (UNICEF) identified that malaria spread in more than 100 countries across the world. The most affected areas were largely the less-developed tropical areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The disease killed more than one million people every year in Africa. the globe records more than 300 million cases of malaria where 90% occurred in sub-Saharan Africa. the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that malaria is responsible for one to five deaths in children below five years in Africa. 

The Early Prevention of Obesity in Childhood (EPOCH) model is effective in evaluating prevalence of obesity in a community by addressing childhood obesity (Seidler et al., 2020). The importance of the tool arises from its ability to identify obesity at an early age and therefore come up with effective interventions. The EPOCH model enables for prediction of BMI trajectory and the prevalence of obesity at an early age (Askie et al., 2020). Therefore, this model creates an environment for assessment the epidemiological factors leading to development of obesity. The application of this model is vital to address in the critical parameters in managing of obesity such as cost implications. This model is also important in building support structure to enable individuals with obesity manage the condition at an early age (Tan et al., 2020).

Medication errors

 Medication errors arise from the failure of health providers to exercise due care leading to harm or injury to the patients (Kavanagh, 2017). These errors have led to significant deterioration of quality of life of the patients and increase in healthcare costs. Medication errors are preventable events considering that they arise due to inappropriate use of medication or failure to follow due procedure in delivery of healthcare services (Dos Santos et al., 2018). Studies have shown that medication errors lead to an increase in the health care associated fatalities and comorbidities (Kavanagh, 2017). In most cases, medication errors arise due to inability of healthcare professionals to adopt evidence-based practices and patient-centred care in delivery of health care services. This implies that to reduce medication errors, it is fundamental to collect evidence the data that will allow for improvement of areas of weaknesses in a healthcare setting. 

How I Applied Research Skills

The academic peer reviewed articles for my annotated bibliography were accessed from credible sites including Google Scholar, Proquest, EBscohost, and the University library. I used keywords such as BCMA, health information technology, and medication administration errors to identify sources that were relevant to my research topic. Only sources that were five years old (2015-2020) were included in the study to provide current information regarding the subject matter.   I assessed the credibility and relevance of the information sources by checking the qualification of the authors and their institutional affiliation. The approach ensured that I used articles that were relevant and written by authors who were competent in the issue being discussed.

Introduction

After the diagnosis of a progressive neurological condition like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), the first responsibility for multidisciplinary teams, family, and caregivers is to think about palliative care (Goutman et al., 2022). The goal of this paper is to critique relevant elements of the CPG and case study whilst upholding the National Palliative Care Standards of NMBA. 

Evidence-Based Strategies That the Nurse and Interdisciplinary Team Can Use To Effectively Manage Patients’ Protected Health Information

Topic: Nursing Informatics in Healthcare

Course:NURS-FPX4040

Referencing: APA

Nursing informatics is increasingly becoming an integral aspect of healthcare delivery.  It helps organizations select, implement, and evaluate health information technologies. Informatics nurses ensure that the implemented information technologies support patient-centric, high-quality, and safe care (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018).  They also ensure that organizations adhere to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) by implementing security measures to protect patient’s sensitive and confidential information. Some of these measures include using of strong passwords and encryption techniques. Nursing informatics plays a crucial role in healthcare delivery because it enhances access to patient data, reduces potential errors, and boosts the overall efficiency of medical facilities.

Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

 Overcrowding in the emergency department (ED) threatens the health of the public and the safety of patients. The problem is attributable to the increase in the number of patients undergoing treatment, assessment, and waiting for the doctor’s appointment (Eiset, Kirkegaard, & Erlandsen, 2019). The resultant effect is increased mortality rates, delays in treatment, and poor patient outcomes (Morley et al., 2018). The proposal, thus, attempts to solve overcrowding in the ED to improve patients’ outcomes and enhance job satisfaction among emergency department staff.

Objective

The plan proposal aims to highlight the need for collaboration between emergency department staff and those in the primary care setting to reduce the number of patients’ visiting the emergency room for minor issues. Additionally, it underscores the importance of increasing the resources in the emergency department to improve the experience of patients and reduce congestion.

Questions and Predictions

        i.            Why is overcrowding a major issue in the emergency department? Overcrowding in the emergency department leads to patient’s dissatisfaction with the quality of care provided,  staff fatigue and burnout, increased patient mortality and morbidity, prolonged hospital stays

   ii.            How will collaboration between the emergency department and primary care setting health professionals help resolve overcrowding in the ED? The collaboration of staff between the two settings will help redirect patients with minor issues to the primary care setting. Physicians in the healthcare setting will be willing to utilize technology to provide care to patients in the evenings and over the weekends to eliminate congestion in the emergency department

    iii.            What is the role of healthcare leaders in solving emergency overcrowding? Provide resources to train  educate patients,  facilitate collaboration between primary care and emergency department staff, and address staffing issues in the ED

Change Theories and Leadership Strategies

Leaders determine the success of changes in an organization. They communicate the change process; encourage people to implement the change process, and continuously update them regarding the progress made. Therefore, the theory of planned change and democratic leadership style will help meet the change objective. Democratic leadership solicits view from individuals affected by the change process to minimize their resistance (Mansaray, 2019). The emergency department employees, the primary care setting medics, and organizational leaders have a significant responsibility in ensuring that the suggested changes are integrated into the culture of the organization.

 The theory of planned change provides steps to consider when examining the issue and identifying solutions to address it. The steps are seven in number and include: diagnosing the problem; assessing the capacity and motivation for change; examining the change agent motivation and resources; designing change strategies and objectives; identifying the change agent role and responsibilities; maintaining the change; and ensuring that the proposed changes become part of organizational culture (Burke, 2017). The seven steps require excellent communication between stakeholders, regular feedback, and practical problem-solving skills. These aspects require collaboration between key stakeholders to address overcrowding in the facility’s emergency department.

Team Collaboration

 The primary objective of the change management program is to reduce overcrowding in the emergency department, and in turn, reduce mortality and morbidity rates as well as healthcare spending.  Therefore, various stakeholders will assume multiple roles in addressing the issue as highlighted in the table below

Potential Effects of Environmental Factors on the Recommended Policy Changes

Addressing how caregivers can help nurses in managing patients’ pain and its related suffering: Caregivers play an essential role in taking care of end-of-life patients.

The Need for a Training Program

Kindred Hospice is underperforming in various metrics. For instance, the hospital does not provide hospice care patients with timely care, and their pain and related symptoms are not managed well. Also, caregivers are not adequately trained to enhance their competence in the caring of end-of-life patients (Medicare.gov). Therefore, the training of nurses is necessary because they spend most of their time with patients and their families, unlike other healthcare providers (Berry, Connor, & Stuart, 2017). They are also better positioned to educate caregivers about what is expected from them to enhance the experience of hospice care patients. The training will ensure that nurses manage and control patient pain and their disease symptoms while involving caregivers in providing appropriate care to hospice care patients. Their buy-in and support of the practice change guidelines is vital because of their role in managing and controlling pain and their involvement with patients and their families in hospice programs.

Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

 Overcrowding in the emergency department (ED) threatens the health of the public and the safety of patients. The problem is attributable to the increase in the number of patients undergoing treatment, assessment, and waiting for the doctor’s appointment (Eiset, Kirkegaard, & Erlandsen, 2019). The resultant effect is increased mortality rates, delays in treatment, and poor patient outcomes (Morley et al., 2018). The proposal, thus, attempts to solve overcrowding in the ED to improve patients’ outcomes and enhance job satisfaction among emergency department staff.

Telehealth is one of the emerging innovations that have improved how healthcare providers are delivering healthcare to patients.

Greetings, my name is [Your Name], and I am delighted to address you all today regarding nursing-sensitive quality indicators and the pivotal role of technology in data collection and reporting. This presentation stems from an insightful interview with the director of the quality control department, focusing on the prevalence of pressure ulcers and the associated data management. Before delving into the specifics of pressure ulcers and their significance as quality indicators in nursing practice, it is imperative to grasp the overarching purpose and importance of establishing such indicators.

 "Impact of Delayed Transfer of Critically Ill Patients from the Emergency Department to the Intensive Care Unit"

Create a case study presentation for a client between the ages of 8 and 17 years of age based on your assigned diagnosis. Describe the symptoms that meet the criteria for the diagnosis, and include pertinent medical, educational, and family history. 

Patient Case: An 18-year-old Patient with ADHD

A 15-year-old male reports a primary concern of being unable to concentrate at school. 

Concerns have been raised about the child's school environment due to excessive motor activity, disorganization, lack of attention to homework, disruptive behavior, and consequent academic setbacks. His academic performance was subpar, particularly in language, social studies, and science. He struggled with attending school and was introverted. Being the younger sibling of two, with the elder excelling academically, he was described by his mother as a quiet child who took considerable time to complete tasks. Moreover, he would often stare into space during study and academic activities, seemingly lost in his own world. Both parents were worried about his academic

Case Study Presentation: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in a 10-Year-Old Boy

a. The patient, a 10-year-old boy, has been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The diagnosis is based on the presence of the following cognitive and physical symptoms, including problems with attention, short stature, low body weight, small head size, and abnormal facial features. The patient also has iron deficiency anemia, struggles with educational challenges such as poor comprehension and an inability to keep up in class, and has a family history of alcoholism and domestic violence.

If Naomi's parents are interested in complementary and alternative therapy, I would recommend mindfulness meditation. This practice involves staying present and calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations (Searight et al., 2012). Mindfulness meditation can help Naomi increase her emotional awareness, develop better self-control, and reduce stress through guided meditation and breathing exercises. These techniques can improve her emotional regulation, lower anxiety, and stress, and enhance her concentration and academic performance (Searight et al., 2012). However, I would advise against therapies like hypnotherapy, which may be too complex for her age, and herbal supplements, which could interact with medications or cause

The first referral would be to a child therapist. Naomi has gone through many things she may have not fully processed like her dad being in jail her mom’s work schedule and the recent news of her parents getting divorced. These things are probably why she’s acting out and being aggressive. A child psychologist can provide one-on-one therapy sessions, like CBT or DBT to help Naomi deal with her feelings, recognize behavior patterns, and learn ways to cope (Ghosh et al., 2017). The therapy will also help address her aggression issues improving how she handles emotions while boosting her communication skills.

The primary method for addressing Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in children involves interventions such as therapy and coaching (Helander et al., 2022). These non-drug treatments aim to help the child understand the root causes of their anger and acquire techniques for self-improvement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is particularly effective in assisting the child in identifying and changing behaviors by recognizing the patterns that lead to these actions. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides children with strategies to manage their emotions (Helander et al., 2022).

Pharmacological treatments are typically considered if symptoms like aggression and emotional instability persist despite these interventions (Helander et al., 2022). While there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for ODD, clinicians may sometimes recommend antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone or mood stabilizers in conjunction with antipsychotics, such as lithium and olanzapine.

The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the suitable screening tool for Natalie, considering her history of a stillborn child and her present symptoms. The EPDS consists of 10 questions designed to identify symptoms commonly associated with depression and anxiety during pregnancy and within the year after childbirth (EPDS, 2023). Utilizing this screening tool will help reveal any additional symptoms she may have. Generally, a higher score on the EPDS suggests a greater likelihood that medication or psychotherapy may be necessary (EPDS, 2023).
