Nursing prayer problem and a medical practice problem

Define evidence-based practice. Describe the difference between a nursing prayer problem and a medical practice problem. Provide one example of each. Discuss why is it important to ensure your picot is based on a nursing practice problem

The health and well-being of species

What dilemma do scientists scramble with as it is well documented that eutrophication/nutrient enrichment triggers Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and deteriorates water quality?

  1. To suggest solutions for overcoming challenges (possible consequences of eutrophication). Solutions can involve individual actions, economic or political strategies.

# Guidelines:Read the two articles from the links below, one from Environment Education Victoria and the other a release from a Nature Education-Knowledge Project that relate the dead zones mediated by eutrophication to indiscriminate use of insecticides, pesticides, and fertilizers. # Answer the following two questions-Thoroughly justify your answer by examining both your position and the opposing viewpoint:

  1. How do changes in the ecosystem due to nutrient enrichment impact the health and well-being of species, including Homo sapiens?
  2. How can advances in scientific understanding of eutrophication be applied to manage and mitigate the effects of multiple anthropogenic pressures?

The political determinants of health

Use The Allegory of the Orchard to discuss how the political determinants of health negatively impact the health outcomes of a group of patients for whom you care. Why are you, as a nurse, the right person to become politically involved in addressing these determinants?

 

Effective conflict resolution tools

Discuss four examples of effective conflict resolution tools that can be used to achieve consensus in real-world projects that have an environmental or sustainability dimension. Pay attention to the cultural as well as the economic aspects of how people differ and agree on issues relating to natural resources, human health and safety, and financial profitability.

 

Precise and definitive solutions to environmental problems

People want scientists to give them precise and definitive solutions to environmental problems. How possible is this?

1. How does science work to solve environmental problems? Explain the steps in the scientific process as it relates to an environmental problem and describe one potential challenge to solving that problem. And…

2. Why is it important to consider the natural, social, cultural, and economic environments (address each individually) in any environmental problem-solving?

Discuss the relationship between decreased urine output and elevation of serum BUN

A 20-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital following a car-train collision. Discuss the relationship between decreased urine output and elevation of serum BUN, creatinine, and potassium levels.•

She appeared to have internal injuries and was thought to be hemorrhaging.  She remained hypotensive throughout emergency surgery for the removal of a ruptured spleen.

Following surgery and blood transfusions, her condition remained stable for 4 days.  Urine output then began decreasing, and BUN, creatinine, and serum potassium levels showed elevation.

•. The urinary output continued to decrease and the patient became oliguric.  It was determined that she had developed acute renal failure and should be placed on hemodialysis for 6-hour periods.

This procedure was tolerated well, but the elevation of serum potassium levels continued to be a major problem during dialysis.  What other options are available for the treatment of hyperkalemia
3.•The physician ordered 250 ml D5W with 10 units of insulin to be given IV immediately.  What is the action of this medication?

 

The core skills of therapeutic communication

An important part of being a professional is self-assessment. The Importance of Reflection Nurses regularly reflect on their practice and ask themselves where they’re performing well and what they’d like to improve.  You will be doing this every year as part of your annual BCCNM Registration Renewal.

This reflection can be as simple as analyzing a situation with a challenging client earlier in the day or thinking about how to apply a new communication strategy they learned.

Take some time to think carefully about the questions below.  This is your opportunity to dig deep and reflect on how this course and its topics influence your way of being as a nurse and the impact(s) the skills and techniques will have on your future practice.

This is not a research assignment; this reflection must be personal and come from within with evidence that you have sat with these questions and demonstrate careful consideration.

Reflect on the following questions:

  1. Recall the Metaparadigms of Nursing concepts “Person” and “Nurse”.  Reflect briefly on how the core skills of therapeutic communication you have practiced this semester will help develop these for you in your practice.
  2. How did I personalize the evidenced-based theory into an evidence-based practice?
  3. Provide constructive feedback on your learning and practice experiences in the course.
  4. Comment on what went well and experiences that did not go well.
  5. Comment on what you will do to ensure that you keep developing the skills and techniques you have learned in this course.

Investment in an Electronic health record system

For this assignment, you are requesting funding from the Board of Directors for an investment in an Electronic health record system. Create one summary, on a Word document, which delivers each of the 4 parts of this assignment. When combined this summary should support your funding request, by analyzing the impact a new EHR would have on the hospital’s revenue and reimbursement, on data collection, operations, and relationships both internal and external.

Assignment Requirements

  • Please complete all parts in a Microsoft Word document.
  • Quoting should be less than 10% of the entire paper. Paraphrasing is necessary.
  • Students must cite and reference at least 3 credible sources from the Library.
Part Competency Assessed Instructions
1 Apply principles of healthcare finance for revenue management. Task: Demonstrate the principles of health care finance for revenue management through the intended application of cost reporting and variances. Create a summary which covers the pros of investing in a new EHR. Include in your summary how the EHR will address topics of cost reporting and the variances seen currently.
2 Implement processes for revenue cycle management and reporting. Task: The Board of Directors will need to consider the implications of adopting a new EHR system on systems related to RCM and reporting. Use the information researched in unit 8 assignment and summarize how the three considerations you researched relate to the overall process of RCM.
3 Identify severity of illness and its impact on healthcare payment systems. Task: As part of your analysis on the implications of a new EHR system on other information systems, analyze the relationship between data quality within a new EHR and severity of illness. Identify the purpose and use of severity of illness based on information within the health record. Conclude this section of your summary by associating severity of illness and health care payment systems, integrating case-mix and CAC systems.
4 Identify the different types of organizations, services, and personnel and their interrelationships across the health care delivery system. Task: Funding request summaries often become available to the general public–either on its own or when combined into another report. Identify and discuss the connections among the different types of organizations, services, and personnel–including their interrelationships across the health care delivery system. To do this, analyze the implications of a new EHR system with both internal and external organizations.
