research on the current scope of practice for your specialty and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system

/in /by

Advanced registered nursing graduates are entering the profession at dynamic time when roles and scope of practice are shifting based on developments in legislation and policy in response to the evolving needs of the health care system. Professional nursing organizations play an important role in making sure the perspectives of advanced registered nurses are heard, and in supporting nurse specialties in their efforts to expand their scope of practice and their full participation throughout the health care system.
For this assignment, you will conduct research on the current scope of practice for your specialty and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system. Write a 1,250-1,500-word paper that includes the following:
A discussion of the scope of your future role as an advanced registered nurse, including any regulatory, certification, or accreditation agencies that define that scope.
A discussion of three professional nursing organizations that you think are most influential in advancing the scope and influence of advanced nursing. Of these organizations, evaluate the one that you would most like to join. How do its goals and mission fit in with your worldview and philosophy of care? How might membership in this organization improve your practice?
A discussion of a controversial or evolving issue that is most likely to affect your scope of practice or role in the next few years. How do you think this issue could influence the profession and other stakeholders, and why does it matters to the advanced registered nurse?
You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

If you were the instructor, how might you integrate (or further include) this pedagogy to enhance the learning experience?

Applying Educational Pedagogies
Just as theory underpins nursing practice, so too does theory support and inspire educational practice. Educational theories provide nurse educators with a unique lens for the development and evaluation of learning experiences. As a nurse educator, it is imperative that you become familiar with the theories that will help to drive your curriculum.
In this week’s Discussion, you explore three* pedagogies that are well known in the field of education: andragogy, Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, and constructivism. Though andragogy and constructivism are essentially theories of learning and Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction is thought to be a model of learning, each is also referred to as pedagogy, or the practice and science of teaching.
*Note: By Day 1 of this week, your Instructor will assign one of these three pedagogies to you for your Discussion: andragogy, Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, or constructivism. Be sure to match your initial posting to the thread of the pedagogy that your Instructor will assign you. For example, if you are assigned andragogy, then post to the Discussion – Week 1 (andragogy) thread.
To prepare
Review Chapter 2, “Theoretical Basis of E-Learning,” and Chapter 3, “Instructional Design for E-Learning in Nurse Education,” of the Bristol and Zerwekh course text. Reflect on the ways nurse educators use pedagogies to guide the development of curricula.
Search the Internet to locate a learning experience that adheres to the following guidelines:
The learning experience is described in detail through a step-by-step Lesson Plan, lesson summary, or an online video.
The learning experience is representative of nursing curriculum (i.e., the lesson teaches a technical skill or concept that could be beneficial to nursing students, staff, or patients).
You are able to share the learning experience with colleagues via a Word Document, PDF, hyperlink, or another method.
Search the Walden Library as well as other reputable sites to locate one scholarly article related to the use of your assigned pedagogy. Consider how your article and your assigned pedagogy are applicable to the education of nursing students, staff, and/or patients. Conduct further research as needed.
Examine your selected learning experience through the lens of your assigned pedagogy.
Is this pedagogy implicitly or explicitly used in this lesson?
If you were the instructor, how might you integrate (or further include) this pedagogy to enhance the learning experience?

determine what concerns physicians have in agreeing to become part of an MCO’S panel of physicians who will treat its subscribers.

/in /by

A hospital marketing director at a very large hospital in an urban setting has several research projects to undertake this quarter. The hospital is continuing to expand its offerings in the metropolitan area and ensure a strong relationship with the top physicians in the community.
The 3 current projects that he is currently researching include the following:
The hospital urology department wants to establish a sexual dysfunction clinic. The department head wants to get an estimate of the number of men ages 35 to 60 in the community suffering with some form of sexual dysfunction.
A primary care medical group is trying to determine whether patients are being greeted and serviced appropriately by the billing and admitting departments.
determine what concerns physicians have in agreeing to become part of an MCO’S panel of physicians who will treat its subscribers.
He has asked you to assist by developing a report analyzing how each of these 3 projects would help the hospital improve its relationship with the public. Given that the projects would be presented to the hospital’s Board of Trustees, the marketing director indicated that your report needs to include a critique of current literature (scholarly references) to support a position on each.
The body of the resultant report should be 5 pages and include at least 5 relevant peer-reviewed academic or professional references published within the past 5 years.

What is HH blood type?

/in /by

Perhaps you mean the hh blood type. The hh blood type is the rarest blood type which does not express the H antigen present on virtually all RBCs as the building block for other antigens.
The H antigen (genetically HH or Hh) is a surface protein on RBCs that is found in All the major blood groups. The H antigen is the building block for the other surface antigens A and B.
Th hh blood type (also called the Bombay Blood Group because it was first discovered there in 1952), is that in which this protein cannot be expressed.
A person with this blood group would have to receive blood only from another with the same hh blood type, as the blood would react with every other blood group.

How are research and EBP different and how does research support EBP?

/in /by

Purpose
This week’s graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs).
CO 3: Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects. (PO 6)
CO 5: Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice. (PO 7 & 8)
Discussion
We begin our journey into discovering the new world of research and evidence-based practice (EBP) by exploring our past. After completing the required readings and lesson, answer the following:
Explain how research has evolved since the Florence Nightingale era.
Discuss how research and EBP are different; include how you believe research supports EBP for nursing.
Describe one past/historical unethical breach of research conduct; then, share how you would ensure care of a study participant using one ethical or legal research consideration (guideline/principle)
Hello Class,
Why should nurses incorporate research? How could it (or does it?) impact your nursing practice? Think about these questions as you complete the assigned readings this week. Our profession was founded by Florence Nightingale, who was not just our nursing pioneer, but a researcher, too. In the last few years, we have seen many trends pushing nurses to have a professional practice based on evidence. With that as our beginning, consider our week’s discussion:
1. How has research evolved since Florence Nightingale?
2. How are research and EBP different and how does research support EBP?
3. Unfortunately, despite the positive impact research and EBP has, there have been major cases of research misconduct. Please choose one historical case and how you would engage in ethical treatment of a research participant.
Professor’s comment: This week, we will meet the following course outcomes:
Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects.
Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice.
You may begin posting in this thread no sooner than the first Sunday of week one. Posts prior to this time will not receive credit. I look forward to your thoughts! Dr. Smailes
