designated patient population

PICOT Question Paper  

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.  Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

1. Evidence-based solution

2. Nursing intervention

3. Patient care

4. Health care agency

5. Nursing practice

strategic planning and project management processes.

/in /by

During the NUR-495 course, you will actively engage in strategically planning for. And managing a planned change project within the scope of your current professional role.  For this field-based project, you will identify a specific problem. Or need to serve as the foundation for a faculty-guided capstone experience.  Project-related experiences are integrated throughout the course. And will involve application of strategic planning. And project management processes.

For the purpose of your coursework, application of the strategic planning. And project management processes is broken down into six distinct phases. In order to integrate the assessment components throughout the eight workshops.

In this discussion, you will share the initial strategic plan for your capstone project. And learn more about your role as the project manager.  You will apply concepts learned in NUR-415 and Discussion 1.2 through the identification of a specific problem statement. Or statement of need, along with the background to support the need for change which you are proposing.  You will revisit the work you initiated in Discussion 1.2. And identify a specific outcome for the capstone project as well as activities, a timeline, and a plan for evaluation.

Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:

  • Construct a strategic plan to guide the capstone project.

Resources

  • Textbook: Fundamentals of Project Management
  • File: Strategic Planning Tool.docx
  • File: Strategic Planning Tool Resource.docx

Background Information

As discussed in Discussion 1.2, the planned change process is rather iterative in nature. With dynamics that are organic rather than static.  For this reason, we tend to think of a planned change project as a work in continual process.  With each workshop, you will polish. And fine-tune aspects of your plan as part of the learning process.  Each facet of the planned change process will be unpacked, examined. And critically applied to your capstone project.  As you advance in the course. Each workshop will bring an opportunity to carefully reflect upon and streamline your work.  When the capstone course ends. Your final project documentation will accurately articulate the planned change process. That you have created and managed.

Instructions

  1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
  2. In the textbook, Fundamentals of Project Management, review chapters 3,18, 28, & 30.
  3. Revisit your Strategic Plan assignment from the NUR-415 course. Or your new plan under development in Discussion 1.2.  Your project must be patient-focused and include a goal to improve patient outcomes.  Your assessment of the problem  and feasibility of a solution must include direct input from patients or recipients of care (survey results, comments, interviews, patient data, etc).  Review chapter 22 in the textbook, Leading and Managing in Nursing (Yoder-Wise, 2019) regarding patient-centered care.
  4. Download the Strategic Planning Tool Resource.docx file.  Review this document before completing your Strategic Planning Tool document.
  5. Download the Strategic Planning Tool.docx file.
  6. Complete your strategic plan according to the following instructions.
    1. Using the Strategic Planning Tool.docx. Update/adapt your strategic plan from NUR-415, or your new plan under development in Discussion 1.2 that meets the criteria listed above, to reflect the following components in a succinct manner:
      1. Clearly defined need or problem statement to be addressed through the planned change process
      2. Background support to validate the need (minimum of three scholarly sources current within the last five years)
      3. Desired SMART patient care focused outcome for the planned change capstone project
      4. Specific activities/action plan (to correspond with the outcome) that will facilitate achieving the outcome, along with a time frame for implementation (project scope of eight weeks)
      5. Evaluation plan corresponding with the SMART, patient care focused outcome to define specifically how achievement of the outcome will be determined

  7. Navigate to the threaded discussion.

    1. Post your completed tool and share a succinct one paragraph summary of the impetus. For your proposed project by the end of the fifth day of the workshop.  Be sure to await feedback from your instructor regarding your strategic planning tool. Modify your strategic planning tool as recommended by your instructor before submitting your final draft to the 1.4 Assignment submission page.
    2. Read and respond to at least one of your classmates’ postings. As well as all follow-up instructor questions directed to you, by the end of the workshop.  You are expected to choose a classmate’s posting that has not received peer feedback.  If all classmates have received feedback, respond to a classmate of your choice.
    3. Your postings should be at least six sentences in length. And be well developed by providing substantive feedback. Specific suggestions, with evidence of critical thinking.

 

Medical Ethics

/in /by

Agree or disagree..100 min word

 

I really had to take 3 days to formulate my thoughts around these scenarios. I couldn’t find a conclusive answer/approach. I wouldn’t want to turn someone in need of medical attention away because they are unable to pay for the services. However, I do realize that the office is a small one. But small offices build better relations with their consumers/patients, right? And in regard to the rude mother, I don’t think it would be the right thing to do to turn the kids down because of their mother’s behavior. I also don’t think it would be right to try to discipline the mother for her previous behaviors through health-related situations.

1. In both of these scenarios, I am certain I wouldn’t make the call solely by myself. I would enlist the recommendation of a senior administrator, who may have had a similar situation. If not, just exchanging ideas might help solve the problem. I would also discuss these matters with my doctor(s). I think having their approval would be the safest route to take.

2. While regular check-ups are important for a developing child, it does seem the scenario with the 86 year old widow requires immediate and continuous attention.

3. If we absolutely must discharge them, I would advise them to contact the federal and/or their State’s assistance program. I might even have to find the contact information to pass it on to the 86 year old widow.

pretravel assessment

/in /by

Part A: In the paragraph below there are 3 direct quotes and/or paraphrases, rewrite the paragraph in correct APA format.

The day has come for the patient to see the nurse practitioner prior to his trip abroad. By having a “pretravel assessment at least 6 weeks before departure, the provider may assess the timing, duration, and circumstances of travel. Michelle Zappas Candice Whitely and Sarah Carter p. 548 2019.” When the patient is traveling abroad it depends on what country or countries the patient is visiting as to what if any vaccinations are required. It is necessary for the nurse practitioner to remain current with regards to the latest recommendation from the CDC and WHO for travel advisories. (JNP, 2019, p. 548). The primary care NP’s are uniquely positioned to protect the health and well-being of the patient and local community Zappas, Whitely, & Carter.
