Practicum Experience NURS 8600

Assignment: Practicum Experience NURS 8600

In order to ensure that you are building nursing-related skills and competencies within your practicum setting, it is important to develop specific, appropriate objectives for your practicum hours each quarter. The Practicum Experience allows you to compile your learning objectives and planned timeline for completing your practicum hours and developing your specialty area knowledge and skills. At the end of this quarter, you will use the information in your Practicum Experience to evaluate your progress and achievements in your practicum setting.

If you have previously enrolled in NURS 8600, be sure to develop unique objectives for your Practicum Experience. These may be extensions of previous objectives, or they may be completely new and original objectives intended to expand your experiences in the practicum setting. If you are experiencing difficulty formulating new objectives for your Practicum Experience, consult with your Instructor in this course for additional guidance.

To prepare:

  • Think      about learning objectives that would guide your practicum hours, as well      as the activities you will undertake to achieve those objectives. Draft      three learning objectives that are related to the AACN Essentials      (see attached file), your practice area specialty competencies, and the      focus of this course.
  • Refer      to the Practicum Time Log and Journal document.
  • Develop      a timeline for your Practicum Experience.

To complete:

By tomorrow 8/28/19, write a 2-page paper in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references that includes the level one headers as numbered below:

1) Three learning objectives for your practicum hours that are aligned to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials, your specialty area competencies, the focus of this course (i.e., implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of an evidence-based project), and other aspects of your professional growth and development (see attached file).

2) Activities you will undertake to fulfill your identified learning objectives

3) A proposed timeline for accomplishing your practicum hours (a total of 216 hours over 11 weeks)

P.S.  Use the template attached to complete this assignment. Also, refer to previous class learning objectives to help you write this assignment

Required Reading

Class Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Participate      in a scholarly forum with colleagues and the course Instructor
  • Develop      practicum objectives aligned to the American Association of Colleges of      Nursing Essentials, professional standards, and specialty guidelines

The primary objective of your practicum is to “build and assimilate knowledge for advanced specialty practice at a high level of complexity,” (AACN, 2006, p. 19). Thus, focus on ways to expand your specialty practice knowledge at the aggregate level and consider roles you are interested in occupying after the completion of the DNP program.

healthcare organization

Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

How healthcare services are provided is constantly changing.  While historically, emergency departments (ED) was physically located within the hospital building, the standalone Emergency Department also referred to as the Free Standing Emergency Department (FSED) has become a new model for delivery of emergency services within communities.   Consider yourself in the role of a consultant to a healthcare organization, financial manager, or ED administrative director. You have been asked to provide the CEO and leadership with pros and cons of establishing a Free Standing Emergency Department.  You are aware of the news stories about these types of facilities, and you will want to review The Washington Post article at this link as you prepare your review.

Include in your discussion:

  • Differences between off campus emergency departments (OCEDs) and independent free standing emergency centers (IFECs).  What would be the advantage to the healthcare organization of an OCED?
  • How would services provided be reimbursed either by private insurance or Medicare/Medicaid?
  • What are the advantages or disadvantages to the community of an FSED?  Would members of the community favor an OCED or an IFEC?
  • Why are most of the FSEDs located in Texas, Colorado and Ohio?
  • Based on your research and the news stories about FSEDs, what would you recommend to the CEO and Board of Directors?

NOTE: Use at least two scholarly references and cite using APA format.

Antimicrobial agents

Antimicrobial agents are essential components in the treatment of various bacterial infections as they help to kill or prevent the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. Prior to the discovery of antimicrobial agents, treatment options for patients with bacterial infections were limited. For many patients, treatment often resulted in the amputation of limbs or even death. Today, treatment options for bacterial infections typically have a more positive prognosis. Due to the various types of infections presented in patients, it is essential to be able to identify the underlying cause of the infection—whether bacterial or viral—before recommending drug treatments. This will help you identify whether or not an antimicrobial agent would be appropriate and which specific agent would target the infection. In this Assignment, you consider the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents for infections.

To prepare:

  • – Review this week’s media presentation      on principles of antimicrobial therapy, as well as Chapter 8 of the      Arcangelo and Peterson text.
  • – Consider the categories of      antimicrobial agents.
  • – Think about differences between viral      and bacterial infections.
  • – Reflect on why proper identification      of the infection is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.

POST a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:

  • – Describe the categories of      antimicrobial agents.
  • – Describe differences between viral      and bacterial infections.
  • – Explain why proper identification of      viral and bacterial infections is key to selecting the proper      antimicrobial agent.

This work should have Introduction and conclusion

– This work should have at 4 to 6 current references (Year 2012 and up)

– Use at least 3 references from class Learning Resources

SEparate by 5.1 and 5.2 but together

A 33-year-old male swallows 30 antidepressants and tells his wife, “I want to die.” She takes him to the local hospital’s emergency department, where he is treated and released that same evening. In the hospital parking lot, he pushes a security guard and is arrested and taken into custody. In the county jail, a nurse places the man on suicide watch. The following evening, while the man is still in custody, a psychologist speaks to him for five minutes, then releases him from suicide watch. The man is returned to his cell, and two hours later, he hangs himself.

  1. Does the emergency department have liability for discharging a suicidal patient without further treatment?
  2. Does the psychologist have liability for releasing the patient from suicide watch after a five-minute consultation?
  3. The psychologist is an “independent contractor” of the jail. Is the county liable for his actions?

LO 5.2

A woman gave birth in the back seat of a taxicab while en route to the hospital. To what standard of care would each of the following individuals be held?

  1. The taxicab driver who comforted the mother
  2. A registered nurse, also a passenger in the cab, who assisted the mother
  3. A physician in general practice who was a passenger in the cab with the expectant mother and assisted the birth taking place in the cab
  4. A police officer who stopped the cab for speeding, observed the situation, and assisted with the birth

A woman trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) worked as the office manager for an insurance business. When her coworker at the next desk had a heart attack and fell to the floor, the office manager began CPR and shouted for others in the room to dial 911. The department supervisor came running and told the office manager to stop CPR. She reluctantly obeyed. Emergency medical technicians arrived, but the heart attack victim died.

  1. The victim’s husband sued the supervisor, the office manager, and the employees’ parent organization for failure to render medical assistance. In a finding for the defendants, an appeals court ruled there was “no duty of care” for the employees to render assistance. Despite this court’s ruling, in a similar situation, would you have acted as the CPR-trained office manager did? Explain your answer
