Nursing

Telenursing and Telemedicine Telenursing and telemedicine will only be successful if patients engage in the program. You have been asked by your manager to pilot a program aimed at improving transitions of care using the new telemedicine system recently implemented at your hospital. What barriers or challenges would you anticipate? Reference McGonigle, D. (2017). Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge.

Among various stakeholders, the registered nurse is an advocate for patients, their health and the care delivered to them. There is a need to evaluate the health status of vulnerable populations, to assess nursing’s role in health initiatives, and to find ways that we can help improve health. This presentation enables students to assess the role of organized efforts to influence health care delivery, and the contributions of medical technology, research findings, and societal values on our evolving health care delivery system.   This presentation will examine the role of the nurse as a health professional and leader.   Choose a high-risk risk population    Homeless Address a health care need for this population What resources are provided for this population What are the economic priorities, challenges, and issues for this population What are the major ethical, societal, professional, and legal system-level issues confronting providers, insurers, public policymakers, and organizations regarding the care for this population How could nursing intervene or advocate to improve the health care delivery for this population This PowerPoint® (Microsoft Office) or Impress® (Open Office) presentation should be a minimum of 20 slides (maximum of 30 slides), including a title, introduction, conclusion and reference slide, with detailed speaker notes and recorded audio comments for all content slides.

Expanding Current Knowledge via Specialty Clinical Practice Llorey    Introduction A specialty practice area is an area where a nurse might practice (Laureate Education, n.d.). Nurse educators and leaders in a clinical specialty area have in-depth knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment, which they can transfer to patients, nursing staff, and nursing students. The purpose of this paper is to describe a clinical specialty as the focus of the clinical practicum and to develop an objective for this practicum. The Clinical Specialty and Its impact on the development of an Advanced Nurse Educator Ambulatory care involves a comprehensive healthcare services and care coordination that is patient-centered and focuses on disease prevention, health education, the smooth transition between levels and types of care, and management of chronic medical conditions to prevent complications (Paschke, 2017, p. 40). Ambulatory care practice is complex due to the societal changes, healthcare environment, and changes in the reimbursement models, which impact the importance of an Advance Nurse Educator equipped with the skills and a situational translation of knowledge to provide a safe and quality patient care. The Objective Chatterjee & Corral (2017), describe learning objectives as a “description of what a learner must be able to do upon completion of an educational activity” (p.1). Bloom’s Taxonomy and the six elements of a Learning objective, i.e., specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) are significant considerations in the formulation of an effective learning objective ( Chatterjee & Corral, 2017). Therefore, the following are learning objectives for the clinical practicum: Upon course completion, the student explains the importance of evidence-based practice in providing safe and quality patient care in the ambulatory care setting. Upon course completion, the student demonstrates the value of patient-centered care in the ambulatory care setting. MSN Essential IV of the AACN recognizes the importance of translating and integrating scholarship into practice. The identified learning objectives indicate that the Masters prepared nurse applies research outcomes within the practice setting and resolves practice problems (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2011). Conclusion The changes in healthcare and the need to improve the safety and quality of patient care and population health outcomes indicate the critical contribution of master’s prepared nurses in the ambulatory care setting.

Having a well-rounded education and strong clinical experiences in different areas is essential in order to make a productive, effective nurse educator. (Illic et al., 2016) For this term, the practicum experience will be set in a neuro-spine clinic. There are four doctors and one nurse practitioner at this clinic. Two of the doctors are neurosurgeons, one doctor is a neurosurgeon as well as a neuroendovascular surgeon and the other doctor is strictly neuroendovascular. The nurse practitioner at the clinic will act as my preceptor and sees patients for three of the four doctors.         As a neuroendovascular nurse at the parent facility, precepting at this location will advance my knowledge in a number of ways. First, gaining the entire picture of stroke care. Patients that come in emergently to the ER and are rushed to the Neuroendovascular suite for a thrombectomy. These patients are later discharged for follow up at the neuro-spine clinic. Understanding what the follow-up care looks like and seeing how the patients are doing once they leave our care will provide a wealth of information. In Bloom’s hierarchy, there are six separate levels of learning. The second way my knowledge will be advanced is in the application domain. (Armstrong, 2010)I will be able to take the existing stroke knowledge I have and apply it in a new way and setting. Lastly, the practicum experience will allow me to analyze and evaluate ( higher levels on Bloom’s taxonomy) what advanced practice stroke nursing care looks like and how I can use these skills in my current profession.          There are several objectives I hope to accomplish this term. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) has defined nine essential components that a master level nurse should have acquired throughout the program. (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2011)The  AACN essential XIII reads as Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving Health. One main objective for this practicum experience that aligns with this essential goal is: By the end of this practicum experience I will be able to provide patient-centered stroke risk factors and evidence-based preventative care information for high-risk stroke patients and their families during their follow up visits.         There are many aspects to look forward to during this practicum. Taking care of patients from an advanced approach instead of bedside nursing is exciting. I look forward to all the new knowledge I will gain this term and how it will help me grow professionally.         References American Association of Colleges of Nursing.

How important is flexibility in management?

In a Microsoft Word document of 5 pages formatted in APA style, you will develop a process for advocating about an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved through articulating a process for doing so. . This assignment consists of answering each of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter of your course textbook: Mason, D. J., Gardner, D. B., Outlaw, F. H., & O´Grady, E. T. (2016). Policy & politics in nursing and health care (7th ed.). . Reflect on the following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter from the book: Mason, D. J., Gardner, D. B., Outlaw, F. H., & O´Grady, E. T. (2016). Policy & politics in nursing and health care (7th ed.) . Write each question as a new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. Let us assume that you are a school nurse in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator (AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet.     1. What is the issue?     2. Is it my issue, and can I solve it?     3. Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?     4. Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?     5. Is it likely to go away by itself?     6. Can I risk ignoring it?     7. What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?     8. What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?     9. Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?     10. Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?  11. Reaching a solution requires the use of power vested in the nurse. Review (Sources of Power) and determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation. State your reasons for your answer. Conclusion On a separate reference page, cite all sources using APA format. Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.
