Political Advocacy

Political Advocacy

Our focus on learning this week has been related to defining health care policy, invested stakeholders. And ways in which the practice scholar can advocate for change. As you consider the readings and learning activities this week. It is time to apply these activities to your proposed DNP Project. Answer the following questions as it relates to your DNP Project:

Have you met with the decision-makers at the practicum site to determine the type of problem they are having and ways in which your project might be developed to address this problem? What was the outcome of this meeting?

My practicum site is my workplace, specifically the Women’s Health Clinic I work in as a Nurse Practitioner. I have identified the problem that so many young women here have abnormal cervical cancer screening (pap tests), which is secondary to the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). HPV screening is an important part of cervical cancer cytology for appropriate age groups, and educating patients on the testing is merely one part (Dignan & Kruse-Diehr, 2021).  Meeting with the important decision-makers for my clinic, Physician OBGYN, and DNP-prepared staff nurse, I was able to get eager buy-in for my proposed practice problem. How do I reduce abnormal paps? Narrowed to how do I reduce HPV? Further, narrowed to how can we increase HPV vaccination rates?

I was very happy to have positive professional support from my peers for my proposed practice problem and potential for intervention.  My Women’s Health peers are very supportive as they appreciate the severity of the issue and support my professional knowledge working towards transformation.

Please share your proposed PICOT question in question format. Is this PICOT question likely to change in the future?

I worked hard to narrow down my PICOT question for my DNP project and feel it is a solid question for my planned interventional changes. I hope that it does not change, and my DNP mentor at my clinic site also feels it stands well as it is. However, I do worry that it may be changed as I have heard from those in practicum courses that instructors can sometimes change PICOT from class to class.  But, at this time, I feel it is not likely to change.

PICOT:

For active-duty females, ages 18-26, would a proactive process of HPV vaccine-related chart review and intentional education (compared to none) improve HPV vaccination initiation, within the next 8 weeks?

Describe the translation science model you will be using or are considering using as a part of your project.

Knowledge to Action framework is the translation science model I am considering for my practice project. This is ideal to me because we begin with identifying the problems, implementation. And of course post outcome evaluation (White, et al., 2020). By using this framework I can really stay focused with my intentional intervention. And it focuses on more than simply education alone.

What is the current priority you have for the development of your project. And do you believe you have support for this project from the practicum site decision-makers?

While I have interdepartmental and colleague buy-in, I do not have the support that I need to advocate for change from a systems-level at this military installation. COVID has created a backlog for pretty much any subject, need, paperwork, etc. and there is also a reduction on allowing students. For reference, I have been awaiting a form to be signed since March so I can perform colposcopies and it keeps getting routed, lost, and resubmitted. This is not a polished machine prioritizing Women’s Health, unfortunately.

I have decided to move to the case study option for this reason. It is not that I do not want to make a change, it is just that right now it is darn near impossible.  My main priority is finding the supporting evidence to support my project and continuing forward as able, with a goal to implement in clinic post-education if that is my only option.

Asthma and Stepwise Management

Assignment: Asthma and Stepwise Management

 

Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors.

One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.

 

To Prepare

· Reflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients, including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients, including adults and children.

· Consider how you might apply the stepwise approach to address the health needs of a patient in your practice.

· Reflect on how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.

 

Assignment – Instructions

used in a staff development meeting

Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:

 

1. Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.

2. Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.

Conflict Management Styles Scenarios and Action Plan

Instructions: First, complete the Conflict Management Styles Assessment to identify your preferred conflict management style. Then, read the scenarios below. Refer to section of the assessment tool “Brief Descriptions of the Five Conflict Management Styles” and your textbook (Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing Theory and Application, pp. 562-563) to respond to the Discussion Questions and the Conflict Management Resolution Action Plan.

Nurse Manager Pat

You are walking out the door of the ED at 6:50 p.m. when you remember that you haven’t made the staffing assignments for the next day. You hurry back to your office and realize that the permanent charge nurse Bill had called out sick earlier. Before selecting a replacement, you scan the ED physician schedule to see which physician is on for the early morning shift. It’s Dr. Nagib, an excellent practitioner, but very difficult to work with because he doesn’t consider the clinical opinion of the ED nurse when selecting a treatment plan. Bill is the only charge nurse from whom Dr. Nagib accepts direction. He’s able to reach an acceptable solution to any problem that involves Dr. Nagib.

You look at the schedule and decide that the direct care nurse Sarah is the best choice. She’s also an excellent practitioner who can quickly find a middle ground to a solution when it involves patient management and patient movement. With a sign of relief, you think to herself, “Thank goodness I remembered to assign charge. What a disaster if I had forgotten.” You pause as you turn out the light to your office and say to yourself, “I need to get back here tomorrow morning to make sure that Sarah and Dr. Nagib get off to a positive start.”

Staff Nurse Charlotte

You are an experienced RN coming onto a 12-hour shift at 7 a.m. to a typical day in the ED. All of the patient bays are filled, there are stretchers with patients lining the hallways, and triage is backed up with patients waiting to come inside the main ED for evaluation and treatment.

When you arrive on the unit, your heart sinks. The day charge nurse is Sarah, someone you find very difficult to work with when she’s in charge because she becomes demanding and aggressive. Sarah is an excellent ED nurse, but interacting with her is always a challenge that escalates when she assumes the charge role.

To make matters worse, Dr. Nagib is also on duty. Dr. Nagib doesn’t get along with nurses and especially not with Sarah. They’re often in loud debates about patient management and patient movement.

You get report from Sarah and your assignment is heavy. The acuity and number of patients exceed the ED guidelines, and you are not comfortable that the assignment is safe.

You also notice your assignment is disproportionate to another ED nurse, Janet. Her five patients are stable and being readied for discharge. You’re not surprised however, because Janet has the reputation of always getting her way. Ordinarily you would accept the assignment to accommodate the needs of the unit, but you’re tired from working a double shift the day before. You approach Sarah to request to have your assignment modified.

Charge Nurse Sarah

You are in charge of the ED today because the permanent day charge called-out sick. You are an excellent practitioner who can quickly find a middle ground to a solution when it involves patient management and patient movement, although you have been known to clash with Dr. Nagib who is also scheduled for today.

The ED has been backed up the past 24 hours with admitted patients awaiting a bed upstairs. Fortunately, there are several patients with discharge orders and your goal is for the discharges to move swiftly and smoothly and maintain a sense of order as best you can. Your other goal is to move admitted patients out of the ED and into beds as soon as they become available.

You decide to assign one nurse to complete all of the discharges and a second nurse to manage transfers to inpatient beds, assign nurse Charlotte to the transfer patients because she is the most experienced nurse on shift. And assign another nurse, Janet, to do all the discharges because frankly, she is a complainer and you want to keep the peace, particularly since Dr. Nagib might view any disruptions as an opportunity to take over patient management and transfers.

Charlotte approaches you requesting her assignment be modified. You tell her, “it is what it is”, and that you want to avoid any drama with Janet because, “You know how she is.”

 

Discussion Questions:

1. From reading the background description for Nurse Manager Pat, identify the primary conflict management strategy you think might be their primary style. Provide an example and short description to support your answer.

 

 

2. From reading the background description for Staff Nurse Charlotte, identify the primary conflict management strategy you think might be their primary style. Provide an example and short description to support your answer.

 

 

3. From reading the background description for Charge Nurse Sarah, identify the primary conflict management strategy you think might be their primary style. Provide an example and short description to support your answer.

 

 

 

Conflict Management Resolution Action Plan

Finally frustrated, Charlotte has decided to tell the nurse manager Pat about her unfair assignment since she is getting nowhere with Sarah.

How might Pat deal with the charge nurse and Charlotte’s perception that her assignment is unreasonable? What are the various ways Pat can address the issue and manage this conflict situation?

For each conflict management strategy below, list one way the strategy would be used by Nurse Manager Pat to address the staffing issue, and one possible outcome from applying the strategy.

Assessment Tools And Diagnostic Tests In Adults

Assignment 1: Case Study Assignment: Assessment Tools and Diagnostic Tests in Adults and Children

 

When seeking to identify a patient’s health condition, advanced practice nurses can use a diverse selection of diagnostic tests. And assessment tools; however, different factors affect the validity. And reliability of the results produced by these tests or tools. Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.

Not only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture—among other factors—are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.

 

For this Assignment, you will consider the validity. And reliability of different assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You will explore issues such as sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. Will also consider examples of children with various weight issues. And will explore how you could effectively gather information. And encourage parents and caregivers to be proactive about their children’s health and weight.

 

To Prepare

 

· Search the Walden Library and credible sources for resources explaining the tool or test you were assigned. What is its purpose, how is it conducted, and what information does it gather?

· Also, as you search the Walden library and credible sources, consider what the literature discusses regarding the validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, ethical dilemmas, and controversies related to the test or tool.
