Discussion: Parent Guide

Feeding, eating, and elimination disorders can be difficult to detect and treat. Parents need education and information to determine if their infant, child, or adolescent may have these types of disorders.

For this Discussion, you will be assigned a feeding, eating, or elimination disorder.

In this Discussion, you develop a Parent Guide for your assigned feeding, eating, or elimination disorder.

method of disseminating the results

/0 Comments/in /by

The dissemination of EBP results serves multiple important roles. Sharing results makes the case for your decisions. It also adds to the body of knowledge, which creates opportunities for future practitioners. By presenting results, you also become an advocate for EBP, creating a culture within your organization or beyond that informs, educates, and promotes the effective use of EBP.

To Prepare:

  • Review the final PowerPoint presentation you submitted in Module 5, and make any necessary changes based on the feedback you have received and on lessons you have learned throughout the course.
  • Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

To Complete:

Create a 5-minute, 5- to 6-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.

  • Be sure to incorporate any feedback or changes from your presentation submission in Module 5.
  • Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

An RN working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is caring for a patient with an acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage related to Hepatitis C liver damage that resulted from cocaine abuse. At the end of the shift, the outgoing RN states to the incoming RN, “I have been in that patient’s room all day, transfusing blood products. It’s such a waste of resources. Why should we even bother to treat him, since he will just be using cocaine again after discharge?”

Initial Discussion Post:

Address the following:
What is the most appropriate way for the incoming RN to approach this situation after hearing the outgoing nurse’s comments? Include ethical and legal considerations.
What is the role of an RN in addressing the value system of other health care workers that may have a negative impact on patient care? Include ethical and legal considerations.
Should an RN be able to refuse an assignment if a patient’s value system is in direct conflict with his/her own? Why or why not? Include ethical and legal considerations.

Evidence Base in Design

Discussion 1: Evidence Base in Design

When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.

In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

To Prepare:

· Review the Congress website provided in the Resources and identify one recent (within the past 5 years) proposed health policy.

· Review the health policy you identified and reflect on the background and development of this health policy.

Post a description of the recent proposed health policy you selected and a brief background for the problem or issue being addressed. Explain whether you believe there is an evidence base to support the proposed policy and explain why. Be specific and provide examples

  2. Which of the currently identified health care trends are specifically impacting your sector of allied health, and why?
  3. What emerging health care trends on the horizon may impact your employer/organization and/or your specific allied health sector?
  4. Which of the current or emerging trends do you see as most likely to positively impact your specific role and sector in allied health?  Which trends are most likely to negatively impact it? (Examples: wages, job security, educational requirements, etc.)
  5. How will the trends you identify impact safety, risk management, and/or quality improvement policies in your organization/and or an organization in your city/region in your health care field?

In Milestone Two, you will submit a draft of your final project. In Milestone One of the final project, you have chosen a well-known individual from history or current popular literature, with instructor approval, who has a known physiological—as opposed to psychiatric or psychological—disease or illness.

In Milestone Two, you will analyze that disease or illness using a systematic approach. You will also develop a plan of care for that disease or illness.

Prompt: In your analysis, you will describe the pathophysiology for your selected disease or illness, propose historical explanations for variations in findings (when applicable), and demonstrate use of nursing conceptual models to frame your discussion of adaptation and stressors collectively for system analysis.

Your plan of care should utilize the PIE (planning, intervention, and evaluation) format. The planning (P) section should include at least two short-term and two long-term goals that are most appropriate for your chosen case, and each goal should have measurable criteria and have a hypothetical target date or time. The intervention (I) section should include interventions or nursing actions that directly relate to the selected case’s goals and that are specific in action and frequency. The number of interventions should be appropriate for helping to meet individual goals. Finally, the evaluation (E) section of the plan of care should include proposed measures for determining success of the plan and an evaluation of the potential success of the plan, based on those measures. You may write the plan of care in either narrative format or as a table with appropriate in-text citation used to support the plan of care.

Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as at least a 6 to 10 page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least two peer-reviewed sources cited in APA format.

Please look at Milestone one as guidance. and the rubric below for further instructions.
