 Module 05 Assignment – Teamwork and Organizational Customer 

Effective patient care, safety, and experience is dependent upon the work and effort of numerous healthcare departments and workers including but not limited to medical practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, medical laboratory technicians, coding and billing specialists, and medical administrative assistants. Proper communication, respect, and teamwork is necessary for a clinic to operate efficiently and effectively.

Please read the following patient scenario:

You witnessed a coworker’s (Michael – who works in your department) interaction with another coworker, Flora, who works in a different department. Michael was very rude, disrespectful, and mad because he was arguing that Flora didn’t communicate important patient information to your department and caused a patient to have an extended wait time. Flora was obviously disturbed and hurt by this interaction and you know it wasn’t her fault, but rather Michael’s.

Please discuss the following concepts in 1-2 pages:

• Identify and briefly describe two issues or concepts associated with the breakdown of teamwork in this scenario.
• How would you use internal customer service skills, tools, and techniques to resolve this issue?
• How can good and poor internal customer service affect patient experience and outcomes?

Patients that we care for can come from a wide variety of religious backgrounds. Despite of their religious backgrounds, all patients need to be treated with respect according to their religious beliefs. In the case of this scenario with Sister Marry, while providing patient education, it is important for the health care professional to be culturally and spiritually sensitive with her religious belief. The first thing the staff must do is assess the situation, since Sister Mary is a catholic nun she may not feel very comfortable with certain things, and this should be addressed. Knowing that patient is a nun, I might include asking her if there are any personal request of what she needs that would make her more comfortable to comply.

In Sister Mary’s case she may harbor certain beliefs about nudity, the gender of her care provider, as well as revival method requests. This is why it is imperative to take a patient survey, or have her fill out a questionnaire so medical staff can be better antiquated with her needs. Before the examination an appointed staff member should meet with Mary and discuss the procedure in detail so she understands what is going to occur. Throughout this process Mary should be encouraged to ask questions or let the staff know of any special requests. Once this has been completed it will be necessary to have Mary sign documents affirming she is aware of what is going to transpire, and that she understands her part as the patient. Even reaching out to other staff may be helpful to see if anyone has knowledge or background in the Roman Catholic faith. Any religious restrictions should be discussed and noted clearly in her chart so other staff she may interact with is aware. Taking care of the patient is the number one priority, and as long as requests are not too demanding they can most likely be met.

It is very essential for health educator to understand the psychosocial factors, personality types, and the patient’s self-perception while providing patient education. The psychological factors in patients would include the age of the patient, the past experiences and expectations, and attitudes about the illness (Grand Canyon University, 2007). Health care provider should assure Marry about the confidentiality of her health information because Marry as being a nun may feel unfree to assess her physically if assurance of privacy and confidentiality not provided. For instance, in the patient education planning, we as a professional should consider their timing of regular rituals, such as regular attendance at Mass or special observance of special holy days, may be highly stressful to Catholic patients. In addition, we can involve contacting clergy and/or a hospital chaplain to convince her with further education or treatment planning if required.

As healthcare professionals we will treat people from every religion, ethnicity, and age. It is important to take into consideration everything that comes with the patient such as spiritual beliefs and religious considerations. For example, with Sister Mary, since she is a Roman Catholic Nun, she may be uncomfortable with certain things that need to happen. As her nurse I would try to stay wither the whole time or ensure a female is with her to help her through her procedures. During the neural examination, I would ask spiritually appropriate questions that would help assess if she is neurologically intact, while respecting her privacy. Moving onto the physical assessment I would ask her what would make her comfortable during this as I would have to inspect her whole body. I would educate her that this needs to be done to assure there are no further injuries. Maybe have another Sister in the room or just one female nurse. During the X-Rays I would educate her that we are specifically looking at the bones in her face to assess the injury and develop a plan of care once again further. During the CT of her head, I would once again explain to her that as long as there is no metal in her hat or clothes she can remain in them if it makes her feel more comfortable. I would explain we are looking for injuries on the brain that may have occurred due to the mechanism of injury.

I would educate her before everything and during everything as well as explaining everything again afterwards. It is also important to listen to Sister Mary as Roman Catholics believe illness is a punishment from God (Swihart, 2020). By having a priest come see her, it may help her through prayer cope with what is going on as sacrament by a priest is important for the sick in this religion. Also ensuring she has her rosary may lead to patient comfort during all this.

“When individuals and systems work together to provide a positive environment of cultural competence that meets the religious and spiritual needs of patients, the outcome for patients improves, and the system as a whole creates a more positive healthcare environment.” (Swihart, 2020)

The Role of the RN/APRN in Policy-Making

Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role.

What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? Empathetic, organized, hard-working, or advocate would all certainly apply. Would you add policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud?

Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation.

Revisit the Congress.gov website provided in the Resources and consider the role of RNs and APRNs in policy-making.

Reflect on potential opportunities that may exist for RNs and APRNs to participate in the policy-making process.

By Day 3 of Week 8

Post an explanation of at least two opportunities that exist for RNs and APRNs to actively participate in policy-making. Explain some of the challenges that these opportunities may present and describe how you might overcome these challenges. Finally, recommend two strategies you might make to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities to participate in policy-making. Be specific and provide examples.

 When looking at studies, do you think that reading the abstract provides you with a good summary on the study? If not, do you have any thoughts on how to better provide this information?  

In a 20 slide presentation, using at least 2 APA style cited references, complete the following:

1. You have several students with Asthma. Discuss the difference between an asthma action plan and an Individualized health plan. Create a PowerPoint or Prezi on asthma. The first 2 slides should be a description of these plans. Then create five slides to be used to train teachers about their students with asthma.
2. You have several epinephrine pens in your office for children with severe allergies. Discuss how you would collaborate with the head of nutrition in your school district to keep these students safe? Create a PowerPoint or Prezi on allergies. The first two would discuss how to collaborate with the nutrition department. Then create five slides that you would use to teach the bus drivers how to use an epinephrine pen. 
3. As a closing element, discuss the importance of collaboration for these two conditions.

Discussion part one

It is not possible to define aging in the elderly solely by chronological criteria, since the functional, physical, mental and health conditions they present must be considered, since the aging process is individual, verifying that different biological conditions can be observed in individuals located in the same chronological age range. For example, in the cardiovascular system, when an elderly person is subjected to exertion, there is a decrease in the ability of the heart to increase the number and strength of the heartbeat. With aging there is also a reduction in the heart rate at rest, an increase in cholesterol and vascular resistance, with the consequent increase in blood pressure. Another time may be that arteriosclerosis is caused by normal changes in age, environmental influences, and genetic factors. In the autonomic nervous system there is a lower cardiovascular response to sympathetic and parasympathetic stimuli and a decrease in adrenergic content. As a result of these changes, the ejection phase and the relaxation phase increase, with reduced diastole, greater impedance to the left ventricular ejection, and decreased compliance (Health & Medicine Week, 2019).

I believe that it is important not to confuse aging factors with diseases that are not the cause of the same. One of them is Alzheimer’s, as this is a disease that can appear suddenly and although older adults are more likely to get it, this is not the main cause of it. Memory loss in the elderly does not presuppose normality, but, on the contrary, illness. As a result, it is important to allow the patient and his family to plan for the future in the face of total disability, providing support and monitoring in the aspects of judgment and safety so that the patient can continue independently and living in the community as much as possible (Mental Health Weekly Digest, 2016).

As a practice scholar, you are searching for evidence to translate into practice. In your review of evidence, you locate a quasi-experimental research study as possible evidence to support a practice change. You notice that the study aims to make a prediction that relates to correlation between study variables. The study sample size is large and normally distributed. Reflect upon this scenario to address the following.

• In your appraisal of the evidence, you note that an independent variable is not present and that a Spearman’s ranked correlation is used to analyze data. Is this the correct level of correlational analysis? Explain your rationale.
• Are association and correlational analysis equivalent in determining relationships between variables?
• Do these findings impact your decision about whether to use this evidence to inform practice change? Why or why not?
