The Role of the Nurse in Quality and Patient Safety Discussion

Guidelines

  1. The Role of the Nurse in Quality and Patient Safety Discussion should focus on the utilization of Evidence-Based Practice to improve quality and safety of patients. It should be supported by the 2020 National Patient Safety Goals and literature. The discussion should be objective, and not opinion based.
  2. Choose one clinical problem from the list below that could use improvement. Describe the clinical problem and provide support from the literature. Do not write about personal experiences of you or personnel (coworkers, supervisors, etc.) in your practice or of ongoing project in your facility.
    • Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)
    • Central Line Associated Blood Steam Infection (CLABSI)
    • Patient identification errors – medication
    • Patient identification errors – blood/blood products
    • Medication administration errors
    • Falls/injuries
    • Bedside report issues
    • Allergies
    • Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP)
    • Surgical Site Infection (SSI)
    • DVT prophylaxis injury
    • Staff communication
    • Alarm Fatigue
    • Alarm Safety
    • Medication reconciliation
  3. A literature search should be performed using the Troy Online Library. Locate at least 3 articles of studies published in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals and published within the last 5 years. DO NOT use unpublished Master’s theses or unpublished doctoral dissertations, as these sources are not published in a journal but available from a repository. The published journal articles should be studies related to the topic, which should be used as resources to support the clinical problem, the National Patient Safety Goal and the Process Improvement Tool. Use the journal articles to write and give support to the discussion. A chapter from text may also be used as an additional resource to support the information but IS NOT included in the review of the literature. However, the specific chapter author must be cited and referenced according to APA guidelines.
  4. Choose a specific 2020 Nation Patient Safety Goal that applies to the clinical problem. Identify the specific NPSG by number as given by the Joint Commission (see document below). Describe and relate how the specific NPSG applies to the clinical problem.
  5. Choose a Process Improvement Tool listed below that would be appropriate for implementation. Describe the tool, and how the tool could/should be implemented. You will find more information on each Tool in Chapter 22.
    • flowcharts
    • Pareto chart
    • cause and effect diagrams
    • run charts
  6. Follow APA 7th Edition Guidelines for formatting.
What types of primary (e.g. health promotion and education), secondary (e.g. early diagnosis and treatment), and tertiary (rehabilitation) levels of prevention are available to the vulnerable population?

COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT and ANALYSIS SURVEY

In population health nursing, nurses promote the health of population. Nurses and other members of the health team assess community needs and resources as a basis for planning, health promotion, and disease/injury prevention programs for aggregates within the population. This community assessment helps build the knowledge and skills needed to plan, implement, and evaluate a population health intervention (for this course teaching).

Evidence from the survey and analysis will establish an aggregate diagnosis of a teaching/learning need. A literature review of previous programs/interventions will be completed to guide the proposed teaching learning intervention.

The student is required to read Chapters: 11, 12, & 15 in:

Rector, C. (2022). Community & public health nursing: Promoting the public’s health (10th ed.). Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Make sure you use Table 15.1, 15.2, & 15.3 to help you understand what data you are responsible for gathering during your community profile survey. Table 15.3 talks about a windshield survey.

The survey is not to be written in a formal style, but proper grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and punctuation is required. The Community Assessment Survey is a Word document, so you can download and complete the document. Please use this document only.

However , the literature review at the end of the document will be summarized in paragraph form utilizing APA (7th ed.) format for the text and references. You must include three scholarly- peer reviewed journal articles (dated within the last 5 years). See Module on APA information on How to Write a Lit Review. List references on a separate page in APA format.

Examine the relationship between incarnation and atonement, focusing especially on Anselm’s idea of satisfaction

Research topic 2

Examine the relationship between incarnation and atonement, focusing especially on Anselm’s idea of satisfaction

When preparing and writing the research papers, students must be attentive to the following basic requirements. It is imperative that students read and follow these guidelines to ensure a good grade.

1) A research paper involves both the gathering of information and developing a student’s own interpretation of that information. The student must stay focused on his or her chosen topic and rely upon his or her sources for information about that topic. While a student’s own opinions about a topic are an important part of any research process, the student must be able to support his or her conclusions by direct reference to sources.

2) The writing must be clear, logical, and as free of spelling and grammatical errors as possible. A student should never submit a paper without rereading and proofing it. It may even be necessary to get someone to assist in this process by having him or her read the paper and check for mistakes. The student should not fail to run spell-check on his or her writing. Please remember that easily correctable spelling and grammatical mistakes left uncorrected will result in significant loss of points.

3) This paper requires MLA formatting that includes:

a. 12-point font

b. double-spaced sentences

c. title and personal identification

d. a separate works cited page properly formatted

e. specific bibliographical form for print and electronic sources in your works cited

f. a specific form for parenthetical (in-text) citations of the sources listed in your works cited The student will be graded on how well his or her style conforms to the above basic requirements in MLA.

4) The works cited must include no less than four sources. Those sources must be relevant to the topic and meet minimum academic qualifications. The acceptable types of sources include the following:

a. class text

b. print or electronic book

c. electronic, peer-reviewed journal article

d. website with a .edu address

5) Certain sources do not qualify for works cited. You will be penalized if you use them. These are:

a. Wikipedia

b. standard dictionary or encyclopedia (Web or paper)

c. any website not .edu

The student should remember that any source listed in your works cited that does not meet the above criteria will not count towards the minimum number of required sources.

6) For every source listed in the works cited, a student must have at least one corresponding parenthetical (in-text) reference. This will demonstrate how a student has used the source. The student should remember that any source not accompanied by at least one parenthetical reference (and any parenthetical reference not associated with a source in your works cited) will not count towards the minimum number of required sources.

Is the argument supported by specific evidence from the source materials?

In this essay, students will be using evidence (both primary and secondary sources) to make a historical argument. Essays will be examined for three key components:

· Does the essay have a clear argument?

· Is the essay organized in a clear manner, with paragraphs that are structured by theme?

· Is the argument supported by specific evidence from the source materials?

This essay assignment is designed to help students learn how to use primary sources to write a historical essay. For this essay, you will choose 2 (no more, no less) primary sources that we have read in class. Using these documents, you will answer the following question:

Historians have argued that the “central paradox” of American history is the fact that in British North America, freedom and liberty developed amid such “unfreedom.”

Is this an accurate description of British North America before the American Revolution? Explain why or why not.

When answering the question, you need to consider the following things:

–Geography (what part of British North America are you writing about?)

–Time/chronology (what time period are you considering?)

–Population (are you writing about slaves? Indentured servants? Women?

Native Americans? Puritans, etc?)

Again, the purpose of this essay is to introduce students to the art of using primary source documents to make an argument about the past. As such, the primary documents should be the major source of information that you use. You may use your textbook and lecture notes, but they should be used only sparingly, if at all. You need to convince me that you read and understand the primary source material. No other sources may be used, and the use of any other sources besides those assigned in class (this includes Wikipedia, Dictionary.com, any and all internet sites or other sources) will automatically drop your overall grade by 2 full grades.

Essays should be approximately 3 pages in length; 4 pages is probably too long.
