The nurse practice act

/in /by

The nursing practice and scope are defined by the nurse practice act that is regulated by the board of nursing in all the states in the United States. Cimiotti et al., (2019) discuss that the laws and regulations are developed by the BON to ensure that nurses in practice are qualified. And have met the educational requirements as well as certification to be a nurse. This is important because it helps in preventing unqualified nurses from practicing thus avoiding malpractice. And medical errors from happening. Additionally, this is improving patient safety (Chesney, & Duderstadt, 2017).

Therefore, in the state of Pennsylvania, advanced practice registered nurses follow state law. And regulation that allows them to diagnose medical conditions, implement treatment plans, order. And perform diagnostic tests among other responsibilities with a written collaborative agreement with a certified. And licensed physician (Pittman et al., 2020). Another state law regulation in this state is that APRNs may prescribe drugs, devices. And schedules II-V controlled substances following the collaborative agreement signed by the APRN alongside a licensed physician. On the other hand, the APRNs in the state of Pennsylvania with proper training. And experience can receive a federal waiver to dispense products containing buprenorphine while being supervised by a licensed physician.

licensed physician

When compared with the state of New Jersey, APRNs require a joint protocol agreement with a licensed physician to perform their responsibilities. Additionally, APRNs in the state of New Jersey are required to have an additional six hours in pharmacological education to be allowed to prescribe medication. And devices (Weaver, et al., 2021). Certification from the New Jersey state board of nursing is required for any nurse who wishes to practice as an APRN. However, they must have an advanced level of education like a Master of Science in nursing.

APRNs in the state of Pennsylvania are not allowed to have full practice authority; however, they obtain their prescriptive authority by signing a collaborative agreement with a licensed physician. On the other hand, APRNs in Pennsylvania adheres to the prescriptive authority. And practice authority by signing a collaborative agreement that is reviewed and updated after every two years.

This is a discussion post for my Health Informatics class. The post must be at least 15 sentences and all resources used to support discussion must be written in APA format. We also have a book for class that we use to support our arguments. If you would like photos of this week’s chapter then I can post them. Here is the discussion topic.

Defend or refute the following – Patients should have real-time access to all information in their health records, including narrative notes.  State why you agree or disagree.  Feel free to use the internet for resources and give information that supports your answer.

You must respond to two of your peers.

Choose one peer to AGREE with and state why?  Make sure you read your textbook and use resources from articles, etc to back up your response. Do not just say “good job”, I agree with what you said.

Health Behavior Theory: Theory of Reasoned Action/Theory of Planned Behavior

Please use APA.

Students will write a 4-5 page paper  reviewing and applying health behaviors and theories. Each student will  investigate a specific health behavior chosen from the list below. One  health behavior theory will be reviewed and described. An application of  the theory to the health behavior will be researched and reviewed. The  application of the theory to the health behavior will be supported with  research evidence (methodology). We will discuss theoretical  applications (another word for an application is a research intervention  or experimental study).

National Health Care Issues

/in /by

To begin, discuss the various national health care issues currently affecting the industry and select one that you want to focus on for the remaining three Learning Team assignments (Wk3, Wk4 & Wk6) in this course. You CANNOT choose Diabetes or Obesity or other diseases as a national issue because we already gave that as our video example in week 2’s individual diagram assignment (in the directions).

Use systems thinking and begin to draft a diagram that maps the complexities of the health care issue and the many variables that influence it. This assignment is a DIAGRAM, not a paragraph or paper. Paragraphs or papers will not be graded or read. Your diagram must speak for itself and explain everything. Do not abbreviate – spell everything out.

Title: Include a title that let’s viewers know what your diagram is trying to capture.

Click the Add Content button below to insert your assignment. When you are ready to turn the diagram in, click the Submit button. For additional help, check out the ULTRA: Access your assignments page.

Due Dates for all team assignments every week are Fridays (end of day). You can submit up to 4 days late past the Friday due date for 10% off. Once assignments are graded there are no regrades. This is a master level course. Do not ask to “re-do” an assignment.

Grading will be similar to Wk 2’s individual diagram (but your team must choose an appropriate national issue topic)
