(You will not submit your Reflective Journal for Week 5 entries, but may continue to record entries for your own purposes.) Remember that the more thoughtfully and intentionally you record your immediate reflections, the easier it will be for you to pull all your experiences and thoughts together for your Journal Paper in Week 5. Module Journal Entries A separate Journal entry is required for Modules 1-6 by 2359 Saturday of each indicated module. Provide details of your thinking, including insights, challenges, paradigm shifts, and goals. Identify previous course topics, readings, or research that relate to the prompt. Journal Entry Module 1: Identify 3 key points form this module. Reflect on how why each point is important, how it impacts on your work experience or nursing practice, and how will you change your practice in the future based on each key area. Key Point 1 Some symptoms of UTI include strong and more often urge of short calls. The type of urine tends highly concentrated with much odor smell appearing to be cloudy and smoky. From the four-year experience in the field of nursing practice, it suggests that individuals with UTI experience much pain and some itchy feeling when urinating (Wagenlehner, & Pilatz, 2018).University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal Discussion: Transition to Professional Nursing Journal. They also experience nausea and vomiting with muscle aches and acute abdominal pains. For people using catheters as a way of disposing of their urine experiences fever that appears as a symptom hence making the diagnosis difficult. Key Point 2 From nursing theories found in the journals, magazines and other sources of ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry. Save this document to your desktop or other storage Page 3 of 11 N4585 Capstone information, suggests how to prevent the risk of developing UTI. Keeping the genital areas clean happens to be the first way of preventing UTI. Drinking a lot of water will help the body as the individual will urinate frequently making the urinary tract system functional (Alagiakrishnan et al., 2018). Individuals should avoid some fluids like alcohol and too much caffeine that causes the bladder to overwork. Theologians suggest that individuals should urinate shortly after sex to release the semen that appears to be acidic and it might tamper with the urinary tract system. Key Point 3 From the RNB-BSN experiences of the four years of providing quality baccalaureate education that gave me license to practice in the field of nursing. From the experience in the field of nursing, the most majority causes of Urinary tract Infections tend to be caused by bacterium by the name Escherichia Coli that affects the bladder and the organs around the bladder. In the field of nursing, I had the career goals of analyzing the symptoms of different diseases, and UTI falls to be one of the conditions (Anwar et al., 2018). University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal Discussion: Transition to Professional Nursing Journal. From experience in RNB-BSN, the symptoms of UTI depends on age, gender and the presence of the catheter in the body of individuals and also the part of the whole system of the infected urinary tract. Module 2: Identify 3 key points form this module. Reflect on how why each point is important, how it impacts on your work experience or nursing practice, and how will you change your practice in the future based on each key area. Key Point 1 UTI is a major morbidity of people suffering from neurogenic lower tract dysfunction (NULTD). The impact of UTI in people suffering from this kind of disease is that, it causes back pain injuries thus causing a great menace not only to the health practitioners but also to the patients (Tandogdu and Wagenlehner, 2016). In accordance to the RNB-BSN experience it has been recognized that, the factor that ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry. Save this document to your desktop or other storage Page 4 of 11 N4585 Capstone has led to the increase of UTI risks include the impaired storages and poor functioning (Trautner, Greene, Krein, Wald, Saint, McNamara, Edson and Mody, 2017) In the field of nurse, the future of UTI will come to extinction according to my current research. The analysis and research that I have done already signifies that, the risk can be reduced through emptying of the bladder more often especially to those patients who are using the catheters. Key Point 2 Bladder management has been selected as one of the treatments options which provide solution to the problem of UTI.University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal Discussion: Transition to Professional Nursing Journal. According to the RN- BSN experience, it has been indicated that, effective regulation and monitoring of the bladder content should be done always, since failure to track the bladder may be not only cause negative impacts but also to the whole body as well (Fashafsheh, Ayed, Eqtait, and Harazneh, 2015). The future of these diseases can be solved only if the people understand the protective measures and how to reduce the disease. This can be done through the use of public seminars among others. Key Point 3 The other critical area under consideration of the UTI treatments is by the use of antibiotics. This option is termed as a solution since the symptoms of those individuals suffering from UTI vary depending on whether the individual has NULTD or not. According to RN-BSN experience, the use of antibiotics in the treatment of any disease may result to drug resistance of the disease in the future. The future of this solution needs to be discussed since if it persists to be a solution in future then, there will be no antibiotics which will be used to treatment those patients who are suffering from UTI (Gomma and El-Azab, 2017). This is because the body would have become resistant to drug and therefore further intake of the drugs will have no impact in the body. ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry.

Key Point 1 The knowledge on UTI offers me a credible opportunity to further my knowledge in nursing. I believe that the most vital areas will be in the use of evidence-based research to uderstand and deal with the UTI patients. I will also benefit from the knowledge gained to make a better relationship with the patients and thus advance my nursing skills. The other vital area will be in the direct application of the skills in nursing practice and thus broaden my knowledge in the area of UTI treatment (Zaccagnini & White, 2015). Key Point 2 The knowledge on UTI will have great impacts in my future career based on how I approach and communication with the patients. I believe that the knowledge gained will help me become a better nurse mostly by listening to the patients’ problems. I will also be in a position to improve on my service delivery mainly on assessing the patients’ progress. The ideas will also help me in recording and reporting on a patient’s progress and thuds offer the right method to address their issues (Nelson & Flynn, 2015). These skills will be vita in my career as I seek to become a better nurse and in particular in addressing the UTI issue in patients. University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal Key Point 3 My future practise will adequately be inclined on adding value to how I deal with trhe patients and the overall approaches to nursing practice. I will first develop the right attitude towards dealing with patients both in communication and treatment. I will ensure I develop close and personal relationships with the UTI patients that will help me uderstand their medical issues better (Nace et al., 2014). Secondly, I will change my future practice by using evidence-based methods where I will carry out adequate ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry. Save this document to your desktop or other storage Page 6 of 11 N4585 Capstone research to work on applicable and workable methods in treatment. I will also ensure use every bit of medical knowledge to address the key medical issues that are presented by the patients in regard to UTI problem. Module 4: Identify 3 key points form this module. Reflect on how why each point is important, how it impacts on your work experience or nursing practice, and how will you change your practice in the future based on each key area. Key Point 1 The educational qualifications of the said person and the work experience of that person are important for the following reasons and is one of the key point I learned in this module. They identify the person who is seeking the job, how the person can be contacted, and what type of a person they are. It supports academic qualifications required. Research shows that approximately 60% of registered nurses still get into practice with an Associate’s degree or diploma in nursing, despite ongoing recommendations from leading healthcare and nursing organizations that propose entry to nursing practice should be at the bachelor’s degree level. the personal practice will be different I the future, as the allowance of RN’s being allowed to practice is diminishing and the number of BSN’s is not increasing proportionately with the client demand. University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal Hence, there need to have a change of policies to allow RNs practice under the flagship of qualified BSNs as they look forward to get a BSN. Key Point 2 The contact details of the person writing the curriculum vitae. Once, they identify the person who is seeking the job, how the person can be contacted, and what type of a person they are. provides the requisite contact details on how you can be reached, through an email address, a phone number and the street you lives in. The main reason is it is important to have the right information available. because the number ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry. Save this document to your desktop or other storage Page 7 of 11 N4585 Capstone of patients is high and is growing higher day by day, while the number of doctors and nurses with BSN is relatively constant, hence an exponential increase in patientnurse ratio, meaning one nurse has to handle many patients at a go, which makes their work heavy. So I believe they expect you to provide right information about yourself to begin with. Key Point 3 The ability and capability of the said professional to connect their educational understanding with practical real-life scenario of attending to a patient is one of the key point I learned in this module. it gives the work experience of how the said person, to show their capability to perform similar tasks if assigned, or if they will need to be retrained. encompasses it all by giving work experiences over time and the requisite qualifications. For instance, this can been evidenced by my personal experience while working as a nurse for all that while. The purpose of this qualitative systematic review was meant in order to understand more about what occurs when an RN returns to school for a BSN and to develop a model transition. University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal In the understanding of many professionals, there has to have a direct correlation between the experience one has, the BSN and their natural capability to learn on the sport or through practical means. Module 5: Identify 3 key points form this module. Reflect on how why each point is important, how it impacts on your work experience or nursing practice, and how will you change your practice in the future based on each key area. Key Point 1 Increase in cases of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). This increase ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry. Save this document to your desktop or other storage Page 8 of 11 N4585 Capstone is important to me as a nurse because we are charged with making the patient’s condition better but there arise some situations where patients get another condition under our care and we should try to minimize this. Patients also need to leave the hospitals and resume their normal day to day activities and therefore it is important that they avoid such infections that are secondary. In future I will be able to avoid causing these infections by following the protocol and reduce patient’s hospital stay. Key Point 2 There are goals that have been developed to deal with the situation. As a nurse, we depend on such new interventions to manage patients and these goals will be useful both to us and to the patients and the healthcare system in general. These goals intend to reduce the incidence of CAUTI by 2019. University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal In future, this will be helpful because the number of patients suffering from CAUTI will decrease which decreases my work as a nurse and the burden on the healthcare system. Key Point 3 The protocols developed will be useful in avoiding these complication. The protocol that has been put in place is meant to give guidance to nurses and pother practitioners in reducing the incidence of CAUTI. Protocols are usually proven and improved upon to ensure that they are always up to date. This will be very handy for me as a nurse as I would not have to do things that I am unsure whether they will make the patient better or worse but I will be sure that the chances of the patient contracting CAUTI are minimal. Module 6: Identify 3 key points form this module. Reflect on how why each point is important, how it impacts on your work experience or nursing practice, and how will you change your practice in the future based on each key area. Key Point 1 Developing a code of ethics is the crucial first point I came across this ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry. Save this document to your desktop or other storage Page 9 of 11 N4585 Capstone module. Having a code of ethics in the nursing practice is fundamental as it acts as a guideline on how nurses handle their patients, colleagues, and employers. For instance, adhering to the code of ethics at workplace will ensure that caregivers do not overcharge patients and at the same time provide them with quality nursing care. Nevertheless, these codes are never followed in nursing practice in that patients are always overcharged and end up receiving poor quality services. In the future, my goal is to adhere to the code of ethics in nursing care in order to provide quality services with the required service fee. Key Point 2 The second essential point in this module is studying media and communication as a part time course. Communication in nursing practice is vital. University of Texas N4685 Mod7 Transition to Professional Nursing Journal As a healthcare provider, you are supposed to be effective in communicating with your patients in order to get the health problems of that patient in depth. With the communication skills acquired from my part time course, I will be able to provide the right nursing care to my patients since my decision would be governed by the correct information obtained from the patients. Key Point 3 The third important point in this module is the application of disease prevention strategies. Today, our health care system is mainly pegged on curative medicine rather than preventive medicine. This key point is essential since prevention is better than cure and preventing a disease from occurring in the first place is way better than having to cure it. This approach of curative medicine rather than preventive medicine will ensure that in future I advocate for preventive medicine in ©2015University of Texas at Arlington device after each entry. Save this document to your desktop or other storage Page 10 of 11 N4585 Capstone that all diseases that are preventable such as TB, measles, hepatitis B are eradicated in the society in order to have a healthy population and resources put in curing these diseases to be channeled towards preventing even more illnesses.
