Nursing homework help

I need a 8 page paper. This paper is related to my previous paper and I will provide the paper once you accept this paper. The paper needs to be written in APA format.

For this assignment, you will be further defining your Phenomenon of  Interest within a theoretical and ethical framework.  The same  Phenomenon of Interest (POI) identified in your first written paper  should also be used for this assignment.  You will begin this paper by  providing a concise description of your POI, this information should be a  short summary of information your presented in your first paper.
Next, you will  discuss the Fawcett’s Meta-paradigm of Nursing and  relate the paradigm directly to your POI. How do the four concepts  within the meta-paradigm relate to your POI? Is one more important? Do  all four have the same level of importance?  You should support this  section with peer reviewed references as appropriate.  Specifically  identify the components of the meta-paradigm within your discussion. Be  sure to reference the meta-paradigm with the primary source.
Then, you will select both a Grand nursing theory as well as a Middle  range nursing theory.  Take time to review several examples of each type  of theory as the selected theories need to “fit” your POI…and work  well together.
Grand  nursing theory discussion:  identify and discuss the  inter-related concepts from your selected theory.  What aspects of the  nursing meta-paradigm are addressed by your grand theory?  Then provide  information about how you will view your POI through the lens of the  grand theory.  How does the theory guide your assessment of the POI?   How does the theoretical framework chosen categorize or define your POI?  How does the theoretical framework effect your perception of the POI?
Middle range nursing theory discussion: identify and discuss the  inter-related concepts within the middle range theory.  What aspects of  the nursing meta-paradigm are addressed in the mid-range theory? How  will this theory guide your assessment/perception of the POI?  How does  this mid range theory relate to your grand theory?
Complexity science: how does complexity science relate to your POI?   Depending on the nature of your POI, this conversation may have  different foci for different students.  For example, if your POI is  glycemic management of the peri-operative patient, this discussion would  center on the complex responses of the human body as a Complex Adaptive  System.  If your POI is focused on a policy change issue, the focus may  be on organizational complexities with communication, change, etc.  Identify a specific Complex Adaptive System that is related to your  chosen POI and discuss how complexity science impacts this portion of  your POI.
Ethical framework:  you should discuss your specific POI in the context  of ethical principles.  Basic principles include autonomy, justice,  beneficence, and non-maleficence. Is your POI in violation of a core  ethical principle?  Is it possible it may be in violation?  What ethical  principles do you need to be sure to safeguard?  You should also  identify a specific Ethical Framework that will guide your  practice…Virtue ethics, Utilitarianism, the ANA Code of Ethics, are  examples of an ethical framework.
Conclusion:  this section should not contain any new information but  should only provide a summary of what what discussed in the paper.

APA NURSING Assignment:

HAVE A INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSION IN ESSAY FORM SEE ATTACHMENT FOR APA EXAMPLE TO FORMAT

Answer all of the following questions using headers to separate topics.

  1. Attack or defend the following statement and then explain what you would do, in concrete terms, to improve things in your involvement or what you have observed. “It seems that the people behind the new computerized systems perceive that the people who work here and the roles they play are to make the computer’s job easier as opposed to the systems being here to help transform average healthcare workers into super workers.”
  2. It has been argued that getting nursing involved in the implementation of all of the computer systems in healthcare is a good thing, but doing that is in conflict with current patient care and the reality that many nurses are uncomfortable with some of the changes they see and would rather not be involved. To what extend does this resonate with your personal experience? What do you believe are the key prerequisites that must be addressed before enough of the right nurses and other key role players in the healthcare process and what concrete steps would you recommend to address these and why?
  3. Chapter 5 in the text provides a perspective for implementing Clinical Information Systems. From your experience, what are the more critical issues or concerns you have with the material presented in this chapter and what would you advocate should be done to improve the likelihood that such projects would be successful. (You can address technical issues, skill issues, change and fear issues, as well as business and/or leadership issues.)
  4. Chapter 6 focuses on the Electronic Medical Records and physician adoption and utilization. Reflect on your experiences with physicians and other key, scarce, and therefore costly healthcare professionals. How well do you believe these professionals would react to the kinds of changes and approaches covered in the chapter. Have the authors done a good job addressing the really key issues and concerns? If not what did they miss? To what extend do you believe what is advocated would work in your environment or healthcare facilities with which you are familiar? Sketch what you might propose be done differently, if anything.

 Details:

 

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you  into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for  knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical  analysis of George’s situation and decision from the perspective of two  worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your  choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to  you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Baha’i, Buddhism,  Shintoism, etc.

In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions  in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to Chapter 2  of Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have  outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis  from each perspective.

In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based  upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with  insights gained from your research, and answering the following  questions based on the research:

  1. How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and  suffering? Is there a “why” to his disease and suffering? (i.e., is  there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical  malady?)
  2. In George’s analysis of his own life, how would each religion think  about the value of his life as a person, and value of his life with ALS?
  3. What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on  in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
  4. Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why?
  5. Finally, present and defend your own view.

Support your position by referencing at least three academic  resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the course  readings, lectures, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each  religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references  are required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate  the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA  Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is  required.

    Reducing Hospital Readmissions

    Caleb Powell was preparing the agenda for the upcoming executive leadership meeting and he shook his head ruefully. As chief executive officer for Virginia County Regional Hospital (VCRH), Caleb believes that a key piece of VCRH’s future success lies in reducing readmission rates, not only in the areas identified by federal guidelines, but across the board. A few weeks ago, he read a piece from the National Institutes of Health discussing strategies associated with reduction in readmission rates. He decided that he wanted to discuss the issue in detail with his leadership team.

    Caleb’s goal is to align the hospital’s strategic planning with the goal of reducing readmissions. The stakes are high; under provisions of the Affordable Care Act, hospitals with higher than expected 30 day readmission rates for heart failure, heart attack and pneumonia are penalized with reduced payments. Historically, hospitals (including VCRH) have struggled to avoid the penalties, but Caleb believes that believes that a focused approach will allow them to be successful. He also believes that reducing readmission rates will improve patient satisfaction, which has become a key metric in measuring hospital quality.

    Caleb’s initial research into this issue revealed that while many facilities were incurring the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) penalties, there was still significant variability in terms of hospitals implementing successful strategies for reducing their readmission rates. However, several themes have emerged. Hospitals that established partnerships with physicians, physician groups and other local hospitals have had greater success. In addition, a clear discharge planning process and nurse driven medication reconciliation have also been associated with reducing the risk of readmissions.

    At the same time, Caleb is concerned that an aggressive policy to avoid readmissions could be construed as too focused on the hospital’s bottom line and indifferent to patient needs. The last thing he wants is to create a policy that prevents patients from seeking or receiving care. Caleb hopes that this meeting will begin a productive discussion around developing strategies to improve VCRH’s performance in this area.

    Caleb’s email to the executive leadership team with the agenda for the meeting included the following note:

    “As we research the readmission rate issue for improvement, we need to be aware that we cannot add additional days to the patient’s initial stay. It’s a balancing act. We also cannot hinder a patient from coming back into the hospital for a readmission. I’ll be asking for your input about whether we should create a system to profile health care providers whose patients have high readmission rates.”

identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

Nursing homework help

the first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.

Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.

Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.

Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.

Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:

  1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
  2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.
  3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.

To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
