The course project in Module 05 is a further examination of a technique that is commonly used for improving communication among team members and patients and develop solutions to solve problems to improve organizational function and patient experience.  It is called SBAR and stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation.

Read through the scenario below and you are required to provide a minimum of 3-5 sentences of each section of SBAR and should be free of spelling and grammatical errors. References are not required but if used, must be cited in proper APA citation format.

Scenario

As a medical administrative assistant working at a healthcare clinic you have noticed in the last month there is an increasing number of patients checking out after their visit unsure of when they should schedule their next visit.  This causes you to have to track down a healthcare member from that patient’s healthcare team to determine when the patient needs to reschedule their next appointment.  This process takes time, added effort and a delay in assisting other patients along with decreasing the patient’s overall experience.   

Utilizing the SBAR technique, discuss how communication can be improved between the front desk and healthcare team members along with how this issue can be resolved. 

You are required to provide a minimum of 3-5 sentences for each section of SBAR and your submission should be free of spelling and grammatical errors. References are not required but if used, must be cited in proper APA citation format.  Please download the following assignment template to complete your SBAR assessment:

PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT FOR HOW MANY WORDS AND GUIDELINES OF THIS ASSIGNMENT!!!!!!!

Most healthcare treatment options are voluntary, meaning that a patient has the right to refuse care, even if it is in their best interest to comply. However, in some cases, psychiatric treatment can be mandatory. Involuntary treatment (which is also referred to as “assisted treatment”) is typically implemented when patients have been diagnosed with a severe mental disorder and pose a danger to themselves or others. Although the stipulations vary by state, all fifty states allow for some form of involuntary treatment for mental illness. Be sure to support your answers to the following questions with research.

• Is involuntary care ethical?
• Do patients with severe mental illness have the mental capacity to refuse or consent to treatment?
• Should patients be forced to take medications, be hospitalized, or undergo therapy against their will? If so, what should be the consequence for refusal?
• Are there better ways to encourage patients to adhere to their treatment plan?

I need help with few microbiology quiz questions.  Please . Same questions of 4 each. Different ways of answering.  Two separate papers

3- 2-3 Peer Reviewed/ scholarly references for each question

4- References should be within 4 years

5- I am in acute care nurse practitioner program.

6- The response to the DQ is expected to be a minimum of 300 words. A minimum of two peer reviewed/ scholarly  resources are expected. These need to be appropriate for a clinical professional to guide decisions about patient care. If a textbook is used for one of these responses, the other needs to be journal or professional-level website. The references need to be correctly formatted, as do the citations for those references.  “ Question words” don’t count towards 300 minimum count”

Choose a nursing theory and research an article that includes a nursing theory and its utilization in nursing practice or nursing research. Write a three paragraph summary of the article highlighting the application of the selected nursing theory to nursing practice and reserach 

Article should be current, peer reviewed and within a five year span.

-Use APA format for your references and citations

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:

1. Values/Health Perception
2. Nutrition
3. Sleep/Rest
4. Elimination
5. Activity/Exercise
6. Cognitive
7. Sensory-Perception
8. Self-Perception
9. Role Relationship
10. Sexuality
11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
2. Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
3. Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
4. Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Choose one health-promoting behavior in which you personally could but don’t engage. Identify factors, as defined in the health promotion model, which contribute to your decision not to participate. Include immediate competing alternatives.

2. Analyze factors that contribute to your participation in a health-promoting activity and place each factor under the appropriate label from the health promotion model.

3. Consider your own philosophy of health and prepare your description of wellness. Is absence of disease more prominent than positive, active statements of health?

4. Anticipate the health-promoting behaviors important at various stages of development across the life span. What health promotion topics do you include in your practice?

Nursing research is at the heart of nursing practice because it helps nurses to stay up to date with evidence-based knowledge that can improve organizational, nursing, and patient outcomes. To ease the search of scholarly materials and ensure that GCU students produce sound research that can add value to nursing literature and practice, the GCU Library provides a large number of scholarly databases that a student can actually peruse in search of journals, articles, and periodicals to support their projects.

Two GCU Library scholarly databases that will help me find the best research articles to support my capstone project change proposal will include Ovid Nursing Essential database which has access to over 125 full-text nursing journals that covers a wide range of nursing topic, including titles from highly respected Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (Grand Canyon University, n. d.-a). Another GCU Library database that I can resort to in finding evidence to support my capstone project change proposal is the EBSCO database which include the CINAHL Complete, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, ERIC(EBSCO) etc (GCU, n. d.-b).

The strengths of these two databases over Google Scholar or general Internet search cannot be underestimated. First, they can help to narrow my search to specific journals and articles that are peer-reviewed, unlike the Google Scholar or general Internet search that can provide a whole range of journals and articles that are not peer reviewed. In addition, searching for research evidence via these two GCU databases can help to save a lot of time in research. In a nutshell, GCU scholarly databases provide more valuable research tools for conducting both quantitative and qualitative research than the Google Scholar.

The Grand Canon university library has 92 databases with full access to more than 6000 text journals and articles, each database has exclusive feature, which help students to specialize and focus on result in more than one subject (Grand Canyon University, 2017). I propose and recommend CINAHL and ProQuest nursing and allied health source databases the best sources for my research proposal. CINAHL database has access to variety of articles from health professionals and other researchers with good understanding of nursing encounter. The database allows researchers to find appropriate medical terms used in literature thus I will be able to collect more information useful to my EBP proposal.

ProQuest nursing and allied health source database is the other database I will use in my EBP proposal. Similar to CINAHL, ProQuest provides an extensive variety in nursing, allied health related fields, videos on clinical practical, evidence based resources such as dissertation and logic review plus reference materials (Grand Canyon University, 2016). Most librarians prefer and recommend ProQuest database for those students those taking nursing research nursing research and health care related field. Due to the suitability and credibility of the above database, I find it very suitable for my proposal writing. However, though both GCU and google scholar are commonly used internet sources. GCU is more suitable because it is easy to use and offer comprehensive contact to many literature and reference materials as well as google scholar.
