Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.To Prepare:Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.The Assignment: (8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation)Develop a 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.Describe the board for your specific region/area.Who is on the board?How does one become a member of the board?Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.How does this regulation influence the nurses role?How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).How does this regulation influence the nurses role?How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?Include Speaker Notes on Each Slide (except on the title page and reference page)
What process was used to identify the genetic composition?
Reply to two prompts in 100 words each. No sites needed, these are just thoughts on the prompts.(Original prompt for you consideration,An important characteristic of a medical professional is to make sense of information and then continue to ask questions to collect additional information. You will practice this as you respond to this weeks question. For each of the following, answer the question and then describe what additional questions you might be able to investigate to gain additional information that might enhance your understanding.What is its genetic composition?What process was used to identify the genetic composition?How has this information been used to identify treatments?)Prompt 1: TheC. trachomatisgenome is substantially smaller than that of many other bacteria encoding approximately 900 genes.Several important metabolic functions are not encoded in theC. trachomatisgenome, and instead, are likely scavenged from the host cell.In addition to the chromosome that contains most of the genome, nearly allC. trachomatisstrains carry a 7.5kilobase plasmidthat contains 8 genes.The role of this plasmid is unknown, though strains without the plasmid have been isolated, suggesting it is not required for survival of the bacterium. According to our text in Chapter 10, the size of a bacteriums genome directly relates to how much the bacterium depends on its host for survival. When a bacterium relies on the host cell to carry out certain functions, it loses the genes encoding the abilities to carry out those functions itself. From a clinical perspective, obligate intracellular pathogens also tend to have small genomes (some around Because host cells supply most of their nutrients, they tend to have a reduced number of genes encoding metabolic functions. The size of the genomes of the organism Chlamydia trachomatis is (1.0 million).Chlamydiaalternates between two morphological forms, the elementary body (EB) and the reticulate body (RB). EBs are extra-cellular, metabolically inert forms, responsible for dissemination of infection by their ability to attach to and invade susceptible cells.Prompt 2: I have been discussing Staphylococcus aureus for the last two weeks in my posts. It was first discovered in 1880 by Alexander Ogston when he noticed that clusters of bacteria were present in the pus of a surgical abscess.S. Aureus is a gram- positive round shaped bacterium that is also a facultative anaerobe, which means it doesnt need oxygen to survive. It is found in grape-like clusters called staphylococci, which can be see when it is looked at under a microscope. S. aureus is produced by binary fission.In order to identify S. Aureus, a sample is taken and sent to a lab to undergo enzyme-based tests. A gram stain is performed and followed by a culture, done by using a salt/agar solution.As a result, yellow-colored colonies begin to form.For susceptible strains of S. Aureus penicillin is the antibiotic that is used to treat this infection. It is able to block the production of peptidoglycan connections, which make up the cell wall of this bacteria. Ultimately, this upsets the balance of cell wall formation and leads to the death of the cells. Penicillin does not work for all strains in present day.Up to 90% of strains are now penicillin resistant.

How many providers did you observe wash or sanitize their hands prior to the encounter?
Problem StatementThe outpatient cancer center operates 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. Due to cancer treatments and procedures, the patient population in the cancer center is immunosuppressed, which makes the patient population easily susceptible to acquiring infections. It is important that all clinical staff follow and adhere to guidelines, such as good hand hygiene. Some nurses in the clinic, including myself, have taken notice that providers are going from room to room without washing or sanitizing their hands before coming into contact with patients. This is a cause for concern as providers are placing already immunosuppressed patients at a higher risk of infection that can lead to hospitalizations with serious ramifications. Gammon and Hunt (2020) stated that hand washing has always been important in the healthcare setting. Hand hygiene is the public health and safe healthcare practices focus, as it can restrict and stop the spread of microorganisms that cause infections. Currently, the global pandemic has brought forth the role hand hygiene plays in stopping the spread of microorganisms that cause infection, such as COVID-19. A solution to the problem would be to create a patient survey where patients can anonymously answer a few questions about whether or not the provider(s) washed or sanitized their hands before and after their visit. The benefit of this solution is to bring forth hand hygiene adherence, awareness, and accountability to the cancer center, therefore reducing and preventing risk for infection among the patient population.Purpose StatementThe purpose of this quantitative study is to examine and gain knowledge about provider hand hygiene adherence, stopping and reducing risks of infection, reinforcing hand hygiene practices and accountability. Bearman and Vokes (2019) explains that accountability focuses on patient safety practices and research studies continue to recommend that accountability guides a triumphant infection prevention plan. The survey created will take place at the cancer center, it will be anonymous, and it will ask three basic questions: 1. How many providers did you have an encounter with today?; 2. How many providers did you observe wash or sanitize their hands prior to the encounter?; and 3. How many providers did you observe wash or sanitize their hands after the encounter? The survey will be handed to patients upon arrival, and they will be instructed to fill out the survey at the end of their clinic visit and drop it off inside the locked box by the check-out desk prior to leaving the clinic. The completed surveys will be collected at the end of each week to be examined by the administrative assistant director (ADN) of the cancer center, who will examine the results and bring it to the attention of the clinics staff and address the problem and changes in practice.
