As stated above, Quality is multidimensional and involves the perspectives of various stakeholders, including patients and families. As noted in this week’s Learning Resources, defining quality is not a simple, straightforward task. Yet, it provides an essential foundation for being able to measure and assess quality, and, ultimately, to improve it.  In this Discussion, you consider definitions and measurements of quality. As you proceed, think about why it is important for organizations to be able to quantify quality and compare current performance to previous performance, to a set of standards, and/or to performance in other organizations.

By Day 3:  Post a definition of quality for your selected organization.  1.  Describe at least one quality-related measure that is currently being monitored within the organization.  2. Summarize the data collection process for this measure, and explain how this information is communicated to or among the staff.  3.  Identify at least one strength and one weakness related to how quality is defined, measured, and/or monitored within the organization.

defining your Phenomenon of  Interest within a theoretical and ethical framework

/in /by

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.

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.

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.

Ethical Principle Application

Task 2: Ethical Principle Application

Introduction:

The purpose of this task is to explore how nursing ethics, self-advocacy, and professional accountability can be applied in clinical practice. Using the provided case scenario, you will be required to think about how ethical concepts can be used to make clinical decisions and explore the differences in personal and professional beliefs. You will develop personalized stress management plans that rely on the use of adaptive coping strategies to ensure personal health and well-being.

Scenario:

You have been working as a nurse in the adult oncology unit for the past year. You have developed a close relationship with many of your patients, but Mr. Newcomb has a special place in your heart. He has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and has undergone aggressive chemotherapy. Each day his wife has come to the unit to be with her husband. They have been married for over 40 years and share a deep love.

Mr. and Mrs. Newcomb have made the decision to no longer continue with treatment and have decided that hospice care is needed. Over the past few days, you have watched Mr. Newcomb’s health decline, and you can tell from your experience that he does not have much time left to live. Mr. Newcomb has been very open about discussing his death, and you have had the opportunity to learn about his life and the legacy he will leave behind.

While you are completing your rounds, you stop in Mr. Newcomb’s room to see how he is doing. You ask, “Is there anything else I can do for you?” Mr. Newcomb has rarely asked for anything, but today he has one request. Mr. Newcomb states, “Before I die, I would like to see my mistress one more time. Mrs. Newcomb is always here. Do you think you could tell her that I will be busy for a few hours tomorrow so I can make arrangements to see my mistress one more time?”

Reflect on the following questions before you begin working on this task:

●   What would you do in this scenario?

●   How can your knowledge of ethical principles be utilized to determine your response to Mr. Newcomb?

●   How would this affect you as a nurse and direct provider of care for Mr. Newcomb?
Requirements:

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. Use the Turnitin Originality Report available in Taskstream as a guide for this measure of originality.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

A.  Summarize how the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice apply to the scenario by doing the following:

1.  Describe how you would respond to Mr. Newcomb’s request.

2.  Evaluate how you applied the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice to the scenario.

3.  Examine how personal beliefs and values influenced your response to the scenario.

4.  Describe three strategies to promote self-care.
B.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

Nursing homework help

 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.
