  • Toggle Drawer  Overview

    Write a 5–7-page a comprehensive analysis on an adverse event or  near miss from your professional nursing experience. Integrate research  and data on the event and use as a basis to propose a quality  improvement (QI) initiative in your current organization.
    Health care organizations strive for a culture of safety. Yet  despite technological advances, quality care initiatives, oversight,  ongoing education and training, laws, legislation and regulations,  medical errors continue to occur. Some are small and easily remedied  with the patient unaware of the infraction. Others can be catastrophic  and irreversible, altering the lives of patients and their caregivers  and unleashing massive reforms and costly litigation.

  • Toggle Drawer  Context
    The purpose of the report is to assess whether specific quality  indicators point to improved patient safety, quality of care, cost and  efficiency goals, and other desired metrics. Nurses and other health  professionals with specializations and/or interest in the condition,  disease, or the selected issue are your target audience.
  • Toggle Drawer  Questions to Consider
    As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think  about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your  viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and  discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested  friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these  questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need  to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

    Preparation
    Prepare a comprehensive analysis on an adverse event or near-miss  from your professional nursing experience that you or a peer  experienced. Integrate research and data on the event and use as a basis  to propose a Quality Improvement (QI) initiative in your current  organization.
    Note: Remember, you can submit all, or a portion  of, your draft to Smarthinking for feedback, before you submit the final  version of your analysis for this assessment. However, be mindful of  the turnaround time for receiving feedback, if you plan on using this  free service.
    The numbered points below correspond to grading criteria in the  scoring guide. The bullets below each grading criterion further  delineate tasks to fulfill the assessment requirements. Be sure that  your Adverse Event or Near-miss Analysis addresses all of the content  below. You may also want to read the scoring guide to better understand  the performance levels that relate to each grading criterion.
  1. Analyze the missed steps or protocol deviations related to an adverse event or near miss.
    • Describe how the event resulted from a patient’s medical management rather than from the underlying condition.
    • Identify and evaluate the missed steps or protocol deviations that led to the event.
    • Discuss the extent to which the incident was preventable.
    • Research the impact of the same type of adverse event or near miss in other facilities.
  2. Analyze the implications of the adverse event or near miss for all stakeholders.
    • Evaluate both short-term and long-term effects on the  stakeholders (patient, family, interprofessional team, facility,  community). Analyze how it was managed and who was involved.
    • Analyze the responsibilities and actions of the  interprofessional team. Explain what measures should have been taken and  identify the responsible parties or roles.
    • Describe any change to process or protocol implemented after the incident.
  3. Evaluate quality improvement technologies related to the event that are required to reduce risk and increase patient safety.
    • Analyze the quality improvement technologies that were put in  place to increase patient safety and prevent a repeat of similar events.
    • Determine whether the technologies are being utilized appropriately.
    • Explore how other institutions integrated solutions to prevent these types of events.
  4. Incorporate relevant metrics of the adverse event or near miss incident to support need for improvement.
    • Identify the salient data that is associated with the adverse  event or near miss that is generated from the facility’s dashboard.

Cystic Fibrosis

Respond in the following ways: (POSITIVE COMMENT)

Share insights on how the factor you selected( THE FACTOR I SELECTED IS ATTACHED BELLOW IN A DOCUMENT) impacts the pathophysiology of the disorder your colleague selected.

Expand on your colleague’s posting by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives based on readings and evidence.

 Main Post

To provide excellent patient care, practitioners must understand information at the cellular level.  A good history and physical are essential for proper diagnosing. Useful learning tips might be weekly outlines, reading resources, completion of available exercises, and taking notes on topics one might not understand.  Pertinent information to include when evaluating a patient is the complaint, the assessment, the diagnostics, treatment plan, and educating the patient (Laureate Education, 2012).

Cystic Fibrosis and the White Population

Huether & McCance (2017) state 1:3000 cases of CF among the white population and Hammer & McPhee (2019) state 1:2000 cases of CF among the white population.  CF is very rare in Asians (Hammer & McPhee, 2019). 1 in every 29 whites in the United States is a carrier of CF (Huether & McCance, 2017).

Pathophysiology of Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by an abnormal expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTCR) gene.  CF is considered an obstructive lung disease.  The defective chloride transporter gene is housed in the exocrine gland.  This faulty gene leads to water flow abnormality and results in viscous secretions primarily affecting the lungs but can also affect the reproductive organs and digestive tract as well (Huether & McCance, 2017).  Symptoms or signs that may present to aid in the diagnosis of CF might be a delayed passing of meconium in the infancy stage.  Foul-smelling, floating stool due to the malabsorption of fats could be a symptom.  A cough, pulmonary infections, failure to thrive, and dyspnea are additional signs (Berkowitz, 2007).  Intracellular change related to CF is the defective CFTCR gene.

cultural differences related to drugs

The Course Outcomes covered this week are CO2 and CO4.

CO2: Describe cultural differences related to drugs.

CO4: Perform a culturally competent nursing assessment. (PO7)

Nurses complete assessments on individuals on a daily basis. Self-assessments are in order before considering our abilities to provide culturally competent nursing care.

As a nurse, you perform assessments on individuals all of the time. Before we can provide culturally competent assessments, however, it is important to become aware of our own perspectives and abilities. This week, you will do a self-assessment and begin to think about ways to improve your own cultural competence. Please do the following:

  • Complete)Transcultural Nursing Skills Self-Assessment Form
  • Note the number of No answers in your self-assessment. Share one or two of your No answers with your classmates, and describe how you will convert the No to a Yes over the next few weeks.
  • What interventions are needed to turn each No into a Yes response?

 academic resources or strategies

To Prepare:

  • Consider your goals for academic accomplishments while a student of the MSN program.
  • Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources for this week.

The Assignment:

  • Clearly identify and accurately describe in detail at least three academic resources or strategies that can be applied to the MSN program.
  • Clearly identify and accurately describe in detail at least three professional resources that can be applied to success in the nursing practice in general or in a specialty.
  • Clearly and thoroughly explain in detail how you intend to use these resources, and how they might benefit you academically and professionally.

Remember to include an introduction paragraph which contains a clear and comprehensive purpose statement which delineates all required criteria, and end the assignment Part with a conclusion paragraph.

Note: Add your work for this Assignment to the original document you began in the Week 1 Assignment, which was built off the Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template.
