Methodology

Answer preview

Methodology The common methodologies included in T2 are observational studies and systematic meta-analysis reviews (Surkis et al., 2016). T2 explores phase III and IV clinical trials. T2 also includes guideline development and evidence synthesis.

 

 Qualitative research includes such methodologies as comparative case studies, phenomenological, ethnography, and grounded theory. T2 and qualitative research methodologies are similar in the emphasis of comparing results from different sample groups in a population.
Goals The primary goal of T2 is to test the efficacy and effectiveness of various medical interventions or treatment methods.

 

 Qualitative research aims at developing theoretical models for the analysis of certain concepts by evaluating outcomes from a population. Qualitative research also aims at understanding a particular social phenomenon. There is a significant difference in the goals of T2 and qualitative research. While the latter is focused on expanding knowledge, the former is based on a practical objective to determine whether a particular intervention can be used to solve a clinical problem.
Data Collection T2 involves the process of data collection through a review of case studies, patient self-reports, and study surveys.

 

 

 Data collection in qualitative research involves structured and unstructured interviews and questionnaires (Salvador, 2016). In both T2 and qualitative research, surveys are used. The most common difference between the two techniques is that T2 includes collecting data from biological materials.

1.Discuss the differences between a leader and a manager.

2. Which is more important, working for an effective leader or an effective manager? Explain your answer.

3. Observe the nurse manager in a unit to which students have been assigned. What management style is displayed? How does the staff respond to this style

4. What qualities do you think are most important to be a good nurse manager?

1. Interview the nurse manager on your assignment unit. What interpersonal, decisional, and informational activities does he or she complete on a daily basis?

2. You are the nurse manager on your unit. One of the most experienced staffers has been out on sick leave, and another just had a baby. The rest of the staff are working very hard to pick up the slack to avoid using agency personnel. What tangible and intangible rewards might you use to thank the staff?

3. PART 1: Begin by writing a 50-word description of the ideal nurse manger, someone you would like to work for. Describe a real-life nurse manager whom you have encountered in one of your clinical rotations. What qualities of this person meet your ideal? In what ways does this individual not meet your ideal? (Reminder: nobody’s perfect.)

PART 2: Think about becoming an ideal manager yourself. What qualities of an ideal manager do you already possess? What qualities do you still need to develop? How will you accomplish this?

1. Find your own state’s requirements for informed consent. Do elective procedures and emergency situations use the same standard?

2. What are your thoughts on multistate licensure? How does it strengthen and weaken professional nursing?

3. As a new nurse, how can you ensure confidentiality in clinical settings?

Answer preview

The nurse manager I interviewed informed me of the various interpersonal decisions she has to make daily. The first involves handling any minor conflicts that occur within the workplace. Whenever employees have differences, they feel free to seek her help in resolving the dispute. However, if the conflict is too big, she involves the hospital’s HR department. She also takes an interest in her staff’s career progression by taking it upon herself to inform staff members of promotions that arise within the hospital. With regard to the information activities she undertakes, the nurse manager regularly checks up on her subordinates to ascertain how their lives are coming along. She even advises them on how they can navigate the various challenges they encounter.

Is there a difference between “common practice” and “best practice”?

When you first went to work for your current organization, experienced colleagues may have shared with you details about processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you perform your new role.

Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.

Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it a common practice or a best practice?

In this Assignment, you will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
  • Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest. You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment, select original research articles.
  • Review the results of your peer-reviewed research and reflect on the process of using an unfiltered database to search for peer-reviewed research.
  • Reflect on the types of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Part 1: An Introduction to Clinical Inquiry

Create a 4- to 5-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

  • Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest. This clinical issue will remain the same for the entire course and will be the basis for the development of your PICOT question
  • Describe how you used keywords to search on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
  • Provide APA citations of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Part 2: Identifying Research Methodologies

After reading each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, use the Matrix Worksheet template to analyze the methodologies applied in each of the four peer-reviewed articles. Your analysis should include the following:

  • The full citation of each peer-reviewed article in APA format.
  • A brief (1-paragraph) statement explaining why you chose this peer-reviewed article and/or how it relates to your clinical issue of interest, including a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest.
  • A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article.
  • A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the research methodology used. Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods approach. Be specific.
  • A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Nursing staff exposure to infectious diseases

PICOT Question; Among the nursing staff (P), does washing hands regularly with soap and nursing staff education (I) compared to using protective gear only (C) effective in reducing infection rates in the hospitals?

Thesis statement: Although occupational safety remains a major focus to most health organizations, the nursing staff exposure to infectious diseases remains high.

Answer preview

A qualitative research methodology was used for this study. Qualitative study is for uncovering trends and opinions about a specific issue in society. In the study, focus groups were the main data collection method. The research participants were placed in focus groups and were allowed to share their feelings, experiences, and agreements, among other issues. Focus groups were ideal for the study because the participants worked in the same environment, and the discussions between the research participants promoted an in-depth study of the issue. The researchers also used purposive sampling, which was intended to include nurses’ views in various departments. The targeted departments were internal medicine, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, general surgery, intensive care, cardiology, and pediatric departments. Four focus groups were created for the research, and each group comprised of between six and ten members.

Explain the role of the community health nurse in partnership with community stakeholders for population health promotion. Explain why it is important to appraise community resources (nonprofit, spiritual/religious, etc.) as part of a community assessment and why these resources are important in population health promotion.

Answer preview

Assessing community resources is an essential step in health promotion. Through appraisal, health promoters gain knowledge of the community’s assets, which are usable in health promotion projects. Using community resources is cost-effective and creates a sense of ownership in the community members towards the health promotion projects (Kulig, 2017). Using community resources makes the sustainability of health promotion strategies easier as the resources are locally available. For nurses and their stakeholders, they can understand the external resources needed beforehand, making sourcing more straightforward. The appraisal, therefore, creates efficiency by utilizing locally available resources before external ones.

Several reasons make community resources essential in population health promotion. According to Sims‐Gould, J., Franke, Lusina‐Furst & McKay (2020), community resources

3. Recall the last time you walked into a hospital, clinic, or physician’s office for the first time. What was your first impression? Did you feel comfortable and welcome? Why or why not? If you could change the first impression this facility makes, what would you do?

4-What changes could be made at a very low cost? What changes would be expensive?Finally, discuss why it is important for a health-care facility to make a good first impression

Answer preview

The work climate of an organization is among the major factors that determine the performance of any organization. The organizational work climate is important to nursing managers and leaders because it influences their behaviors and attitudes both positively and negatively. In positive ways, organizational work climate influences nurse leaders’ and managers’ productivity, motivation, and satisfaction. In negative ways, it influences turnover and absenteeism. Organizational work climate is a moderating variable between productivity and job satisfaction, which applies even to nurse leaders and managers (Weiss, Tappen, & Grimley, 2019).  In the nursing field, the management style and organizational work climate have been associated with causing nurses to feel demotivated, disempowered, unable to meet the expected goals. It can also empower nursing staff at all levels of the organization.

6.Your colleague’s child fell and was brought to the emergency department. She comes back up to the unit and tells you that they cleaned and debrided the wound, and she needs to change the dressings twice a day using a wet to dry method. You see her go into the supply system and remove the dressings and saline using a patient’s identification number. What would you do?

7. You are caring for a patient who has a terminal disease. He asks you if he is dying. Would you tell him? If yes, how? If no, what might you say? .

8-You are administering hydromorphone to a patient. The patient asks you what you are administering. Would you tell the patient about the medication?

Answer preview

Health care professionals abide by a professional code of ethics that guides their actions when working. These guidelines also seek to ensure they do not do anything that places patients’ well-being at risk. Medicines such as oxycodone are essential to managing the pain patients have to endure either because of a medical condition or to help them deal with a medical procedure’s side effects. A health care worker who fails to give patients the recommended dosage of pain relievers and instead keeps it for themselves is not only engaging in unethical behavior but also doing something illegal because they violate their code of ethics.

Please refer to the SON Graduate Discussion grading rubric for more details.

hi only 500 words and 3 references APA style within last 5 years evidence based

i dont know if you have to use state if yes its california

Answer preview

Transitioning to a nurse practitioner is crucial since it provides the necessary experience required to meet the new roles. Changing into a different professional title is challenging since one must assume higher responsibilities (MacLellan, Levett‐Jones, and Higgins, 2015). Therefore, the duties met in the previous position should be marge into the current NP role. Another strategy is learning-intensive new tasks that significant in the NP position. Also, one should practice a high degree of autonomy since independence is required in the nursing practitioner role for clinical decision making. Since the new position is more demanding, it is necessary to indulge in a relevant preceptorship program. It serves the purpose of enabling one to transition into a different and more challenging role slowly. Before transitioning, one needs to excel in the current position since it determines success as a Nurse Practitioner.

Professional Roles and Responsibilities”

Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) are graduate-educated, nationally-certified and state licensed advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who care for medically stable patients across the lifespan, from infants to geriatric patients.

Share your thoughts

  1. What are the educational requirements to practice as a FNP?
  2. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), what is the recommended terminal degree to prepare nurse practitioners.
  3. Who determines the scope of practice for FNPs?
  4. Who defines it? Who Credentials and what is the role of a Professional and Political Organization in defining the role?
  5. Review the following website:

https://floridasnursing.gov/nursing-faqs/advanced-practice-registered-nurse-aprn/

Discuss at least 3 regulations impose in APRN in the state of Florida and would you like to change and what process will you use to do it?.

Answer preview

The scope of practice defines actions, processes, and procedures that health practitioners are required to undertake while observing the professional license terms.  The scope of nursing for FNP is determined by the nurse practitioner act in each state. It determines the roles, actions, or procedures that FNPs can undertake.  However, Schadewaldt, McInnes, Hiller, & Gardner (2013) highlight that the scope of practice for FNP differs from states to the other. The scope of practice for FNP is defined by both the state’s government and the family nurse practitioner board of certification (FNP-BC). Similarly, ANCC FNP-BC is involved in credentialing FNPs.  It evaluates nurses’ education attainment and the level of skills required in working as an FNP.

Hospital-acquired pneumonia

/in /by

National initiatives driven by the American Nurses Association have determined nursing-quality outcome indicators that are intended to focus plans and programs to increase quality and safety in patient care. The following outcomes are commonly used nursing-quality indicators:

• complications such as urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and DVT

• patient falls

• surgical patient complications, including infection, pulmonary failure, and metabolic derangement

• length of patient hospital stay

• restraint prevalence

• incidence of failure to rescue, which could potentially result in increased morbidity or mortality

• patient satisfaction

• nurse satisfaction and staffing

SCENARIO

Mr. J is a 72-year-old retired rabbi with a diagnosis of mild dementia. He was admitted for treatment of a fractured right hip after falling in his home. He has received pain medication and is drowsy, but he answers simple questions appropriately.

A week after Mr. J was admitted to the hospital, his daughter, who lives eight hours away, came to visit. She found him restrained in bed. While Mr. J was slightly sleepy, he recognized his daughter and was able to ask her to remove the restraints so he could be helped to the bathroom. His daughter went to get a certified nursing assistant (CNA) to remove the restraints and help her father to the bathroom. When the CNA was in the process of helping Mr. J sit up in bed, his daughter noticed a red, depressed area over Mr. J’s lower spine, similar to a severe sunburn. She reported the incident to the CNA who replied, “Oh, that is not anything to worry about. It will go away as soon as he gets up.” The CNA helped Mr. J to the bathroom and then returned him to bed where she had him lie on his back so she could reapply the restraints.

The diet order for Mr. J was “regular, kosher, chopped meat.” The day after his daughter arrived, Mr. J was alone in his room when his meal tray was delivered. The nurse entered the room 30 minutes later and observed that Mr. J had eaten approximately 75% of the meal. The meal served was labeled, “regular, chopped meat.” The tray contained the remains of a chopped pork cutlet.

The nurse notified the supervisor, who said, “Just keep it quiet. It will be okay.” The nursing supervisor then notified the kitchen supervisor of the error. The kitchen supervisor told the staff on duty what had happened.

When the patient’s daughter visited later that night, she was not told of the incident.

The next night, the daughter was present at suppertime when the tray was delivered by a dietary worker. The worker said to the patient’s daughter, “I’m so sorry about the pork cutlet last night.” The daughter asked what had happened and was told that there had been “a mix up in the order.” The daughter then asked the nurse about the incident. The nurse, while confirming the incident, told the daughter, “Half a pork cutlet never killed anyone.”

The daughter then called the physician, who called the hospital administrator. The physician, who is also Jewish, told the administrator that he has had several complaints over the past six months from his hospitalized Jewish patients who felt that their dietary requests were not taken seriously by the hospital employees.

The hospital is a 65-bed rural hospital in a town of few Jewish residents. The town’s few Jewish members usually receive care from a Jewish hospital 20 miles away in a larger city.

Answer preview

The hospital’s collected data on nursing quality indicators such as the prevalence of restraints and pressure ulcers incidences is useful in providing insights into improving the quality of patient care across all the hospital’s departments. By collecting data on the incidents of pressure ulcers among hospitalized patients and how restraints impact patient care, the hospital can develop an improvement plan. The data collected can help the hospital assess the magnitude of the problem to develop the most appropriate measures that would address the problem (Mangold and Pearson, 2017). The data can facilitate the hospital to improve patient care quality by supporting evidence-based decisions on the best way forward. The data can also help to study how nurses influence patient safety outcomes so that the hospital can identify and address the laxity areas. This can help to improve the patients’ experience throughout the hospital.

1. Jeff is 11 years old and slightly overweight. His father is a truck driver who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. His mother is a licensed practical nurse at the local hospital. At a recent health science fair at his school, a student-led screening clinic documented Jeff’s blood pressure at 140/92 mm Hg.

a. Is Jeff at risk? If so, for what?

b. Utilizing the Guidelines for High Blood Pressure in Adults (American College of Cardiology, 2017), what is Jeff’s future risk from adolescence through adulthood?

c. How does epidemiologic data define hypertension in a child of Jeff’s age?

d. Are there health promotion activities that you would recommend?

I forgot to mention, the discussion needs to be in APA format, Thanks

Answer preview

With the help of a community nurse, Jeff might manage his health. However, he has a future risk based on his current health condition. That is, he might develop cardiovascular diseases as he grows up. It is because hypertension increases the chances of contracting heart diseases, angina, and abdominal aortic aneurysm (American College of Cardiology, 2017). Since Jeff might be diagnosed with diabetes, his situation would be worse in the future because the combination of diabetes and hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Also, when he reaches 65 years old, his chances of cognitive decline would be higher (American College of Cardiology, 2017).
