Reaching out a Solution

This assignment is designed to assist you in developing a thoughtful process for advocating about an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved through articulating a process for doing so.

This assignment consists of answering each of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter of your course textbook. Write each question as a new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. Be sure to use APA guidelines for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources, if any used. This project should be no longer than 4 pages.

Let us assume that you are a school nurse in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator (AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet. Reflect on the following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter:

  • What is the issue?
  • Is it my issue, and can I solve it?
  • Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?
  • Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
  • Is it likely to go away by itself?
  • Can I risk ignoring it?
  • What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?
  • What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?
  • Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?
  • Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?

Reaching a solution requires the use of power vested in the nurse. Review Box 9-1 (Sources of Power) and determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation. State your reasons for your answer.

I selected the Iowa model of evidence-based practice.  Titler and colleagues initially developed the Iowa model of evidence-based practice in 1994 to provides direction

for the development of evidence-based practice in clinical agency were triggers that can be problem-focused evolving from risk management data, process improvement data,

benchmarking data, financial data, clinical problems, knowledge-focused such as new research findings, change in national agencies or organizational standards and guidelines,

an expanded philosophy of care, or questions from institutional standards committee initiate the change; and the focus should always be to make the change based on the best

available evidence (Grove, 2015, p. 483).

This model should be effective for implementing EBP in any area of practice as long as triggers are evaluated and prioritized based on the needs of the practice to prompt a

focused action from the organization, an action that is guided by the most appropriate evidence-based research practice available. Once the trigger is prioritized, a group is

formed to search for the best evidence to manage the issue and evaluate all factors such as cost, the strength of the evidence, and the impact of such evidence on the triggers.

This group will assemble relevant research and related literature, critique and synthesize the research for use in practice and if there is sufficient research base, it will proceed

and make changes as deemed necessary as the research progresses. Once the research is completed, results are evaluated and decision is made to make the changes as approved

at the organizational level.

Barriers to this implementation can be the lack of research evidence available on the effectiveness of measures to address the particular trigger; the transfer of evidence-

based research to a particular trigger might not produce expected results based on other factors independent from studies that produced the evidence in use. For example,

patients’ multiple chronic illnesses can affect their response to treatments, not all patients respond the same way to a particular treatment, regardless of the strength of the

evidence. Other barriers include the cost of implementation related to training staff. Effective EBP implementation at the practitioner and organizational levels within a health

care setting is essential to provide safe, effective and patient-centered care; nurses play a pivotal role to sustain the use of EBPs in clinical setting, and the contextual quality

of an organization that facilitate successful implementation should involve an organizational culture that is value-oriented and learning-oriented and receptive to change, and

a transformational leadership style determined by the leadership and practice of management (El-Mallakh at al., 2013, p. 42).

Nursing Public Perception

Nursing Public Perception: Media Influence

(Nursing Public Perception)

Question description

Please respond to the following post with a paragraph

Re:Topic 2 DQ 2

The general public is always very diverse in their thoughts and views as evidenced every day when people voice their political views or discuss food choices or banter back and forth about what cars they choose to buy. Nurses unfortunately, are not on any different spectrum when it comes to how they are perceived. Many people think that nurses are just transporters of patients or gatherers of supplies. They have learned all they know about nurses from watching hundreds of hours of television shows over the years where they show the doctors doing the work that the nurses usually do. Some people think that nurses are only there to take you to the bathroom or help you with a shower or bath. They have no idea what a Certified Nurse’s Assistant is or what duties they perform. Many times, throughout the work week in the Intensive Care Unit phone calls are received or friends or family of patients visit, and they want to talk to the doctor. Those requests are triaged and sometimes they can be valid because of a very complex situation but usually more often than not they are simple questions that the nurse or charge nurse is able to answer. That is something that is always mind blowing and makes one realize what little information that a lot of people think nurses know.(Nursing Public Perception)

Television plays the biggest role in people’s thoughts and understanding about what nurses do. Television has very unrealistic situations and very rarely shows nurses doing the actual work that they do on a daily basis. On the daytime show, “The View” one of the hosts mocked a nurse during a pageant asking why she was wearing a “doctor’s stethoscope.” This sparked national attention and debate. Many nurses took a stand and the program ended up losing some of their sponsors and had to issue an apology.

Clothing also creates a huge amount of confusion over what a nurse’s role is. Scrubs are worn by anyone and everyone that chooses to wear them whether they be a food services worker, a housekeeper, or a biomedical engineer. Anyone wearing a white coat that is male is usually perceived as a doctor, even when they have already verbally identified themselves to the patient and family as a nuclear medicine technician or echocardiogram technician. Medical assistants in physician’s offices are often called “nurses”. Many of them have a certificate in medical assisting from a college but this even is not always required for them to work in a physician’s office as it is up to the physician and office manager’s discretion.(Nursing Public Perception)

In order to educate the general public about the professional nurse’s role it would take a lot of work and a large number of nurses coming together to create change along with consistency of follow through year after year. Some suggestions (Summers & Summers, 2016) to start the education process would be for the nurse to project a professional image in all interactions. This would entail that when you meet someone you would introduce yourself as a nurse and include your last name as physicians do. Also, when performing your nursing assessment, you could describe your assessment and interventions as you perform them. This could help patients and family members to understand your professional knowledge and ask questions. As referenced above, clothing can play a big part in what the public may think a nurse’s role is. Cartoon characters on scrubs can seem childish and unprofessional unless worn in the correct limited setting. Nurses should work to maintain professionalism in their own attire, appearance, grooming and hygiene.(Nursing Public Perception)

Media portrayal of nurses has a huge effect on the public’s thoughts and knowledge of the nursing profession. Hospitals often have communication departments that highlight physicians on their bulletins or webpages. One way to promote the nurses in a facility (Summers & Summers, 2016) would be to form a work group to increase awareness of nursing achievements and innovations and publish those on a bulletin or webpage that is seen by the public and/or other facility employees. Many times, the media can get things wrong just as they can also get things right. Nurses can submit feedback to media outlets by giving positive reinforcement. This can be done by phone calls, hard-copy letters, email, twitter hashtags or other social media commenting. The same strategy can also be used when negative nursing portrayal is observed.

3.Describe the history and status of the issue and provide an overview of the problem(s) that need to be addressed. You should break the issue down into multiple parts (called “problems” for this assignment). For example, if you were writing about jaywalking in a busy city, some of the problems associated could be (1) the lack of available crosswalks, (2) issues with technology like Walk/Don’t Walk signs and mobile phones, and (3) people’s disregard of established laws due to a sense of self-importance. There are several other problems that could be associated with this issue, but those are some ideas. This section should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.

4.Explain the first problem and provide support for your claims. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.

5.Explain the second problem and provide support for your claims. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.

6.Explain the third problem and provide support for your claims. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.

7.Provide a paragraph that summarizes the stated problems and promises a solution. Do not explain the solution in this paragraph!.

8.Develop a coherently structured draft that follows the structure outlined above.

9.Use effective transitional words, phrases, and sentences throughout the paper.

10.Support claims with at least three (3) quality, relevant references. Use credible, academic sources available through Strayer University’s Resource Center. You may use additional resources as needed. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources..

Your assignment must follow these formatting guidelines: •Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.. •Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length..

Note: Submit your assignment to the designated plagiarism program so that you can make revisions before submitting your paper to your professor.

Question description

As the school nurse working in a college health clinic, you see many opportunities to promote health. Maria is a 40-year-old Hispanic who is in her second year of nursing school. She complains of a 14-pound weight gain since starting school and is afraid of what this will do to both her appearance and health if the trend continues. After conducting her history, you learn that she is an excellent cook and she and her family love to eat foods that reflect their Hispanic heritage. She is married with two school-age children. She attends class a total of 15 hours per week, plus she must be present for 12 hours of labs and clinical. She maintains the household essentially by herself and does all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and chauffeuring of the children. She states that she is lucky to get 6 hours of sleep per night, but that is okay with her. She lives 1 hour from campus and commutes each day. Using Healthy People 2020 and your text as a guide, answer the following questions.

  1. What additional information would you like to gather from Maria?
  2. What are Maria’s real and potential health risks?
  3. Why is Maria’s culture important when obtaining the health assessment?
  4. Pick one of Maria’s health risks. What would be one reasonable short-term goal for this risk?
  5. What nursing interventions would you incorporate into Maria’s plan of care to assist her with meeting your chosen goal? Please provide rationale for your selections.

    As you prepare to respond to this scenario, begin by reading the online lesson. Also, be sure to review Chapter 2 – Wellness and Health Promotion, and the information on Healthy People 2020.Healthy People 2020 identifies specific topic areas and recommendations for preventing disease and health promotion. Using Healthy People 2020 as a guide, answer the three questions that follow the scenario listed above. I am anxious to read your thoughts and ideas!

    Please begin your reading with the online lesson and the assigned readings from your text.(Healthy People Initiative)
    The URL to the Healthy People 2020 website is http://www.healthypeople.gov/hp2020/Objectives/Top… and it is also available in the Webliography section of this course.There are many strategies and cultural implications that must be assessed and utilized to provide individualized care to promote positive outcomes for health promotion. Acquiring advanced knowledge of the numerous impacts of care as we discussed in the lecture such as culture, nature of behavior, motivators, biological factors, personality and inner motivation, peers/social structure, community environment, society in general will facilitate critical analysis and holistic approach to patient care in the scenario provided.I would like to suggest you focus your answer on one of the patient’s health problems in your initial post. First, post the additional information that you would need to obtain from the patient. Be specific in the areas that you would address and the questions that you would ask.The second and third parts of the question ask you to evaluate health risks that Maria may have with the inclusion of cultural importance when obtaining the health history. Using Healthy People as a guide, identify risks that could be associated with her age, lifestyle or genetics.To finish your response, identify Maria’s problem classification and formulate one reasonable short term goal integrating the risk you previously identified. This goal must be specific, time oriented, measurable and achievable. Please make sure that the questions you ask in your history and the short-term goal are related to the particular health risk you identify. You will be graded on this.Your first post of the week needs to address all of these issues on one of the patient’s health risks. You will have the opportunity to discuss other issues that you see that the patient has in your responses to your fellow classmates posts.This discussion is related to the following Course Outcomes:(Healthy People Initiative)
