For this journal entry, you will be picking a personal stressor as a touchpoint for the rest of your journal entries. As we learn and explore more about stress management, you will be applying what you learn to better manage this one personal stressor. Further on in the course, you will be asked to apply concepts from the textbook, and explore and use worksheets from your workbook as you work towards managing this one personal stressor in more healthful ways. 

To do:

1. Identify and describe one personal stressor to focus on for the rest of your journal entries
2. Write about why you picked this stressor, and what you would like to change 
3. Describe how you experience this stress physically, psychologically, spiritually, socially , etc.
4. Write about anything you have learned so far in class that is helping to raising your awareness and understanding of this stressor. 
5. Pick one of the worksheets from the Peace & Relaxation workbook which you believe will assist you in raising your awareness about this stressor and/or how to address it. Complete the worksheet (you may complete more if you wish) and use this knowledge to build your understanding. 
6. Based upon what you have learned in class so far, what are some ideas you have for creating a plan to manage this stressor in more healthy ways? Be specific — envision some of the change you want to create in your life! 

Reflect upon the selected practice problem in Weeks 1 and 2 and consider the following. (Obesity was my practice problem in the week 1 and 2)

1-What are the common barriers to evidence translation in addressing this problem?

2-What strategies might you adopt to be aware of new evidence?

3-How will you determine which evidence to implement?

4-How will you ensure continuation or sustainability of the change?

Please answer each question separated and use 3 sources at least no later than 5 years.

PLEASE ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE REFERENCES. LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACEPTED. UPLOAD  ASSIGNMENT TO CANVAS. 

1.The nurse working in the cardiac procedures area receives a patient who has undergone a cardiac catheterization via the right femoral artery for evaluation of unstable angina. Prior to the procedure, the patient was NPO for 12 hours, and received a sedative. An IV catheter was placed for administration of the contrast agents and for access in case of an emergency situation. (Learning Objective 6)

1. What is the rationale for assessing distal pulses immediately after the catheterization?

2.What other assessments should the nurse perform to check for arterial insufficiency?

3.The patient asks why he needs to stay in bed with the leg extended for 2 to 6 hours. How should the nurse respond?

4 After the procedure, why is it important to assess the patient’s BUN, creatinine, and fluid volume status?

 Explain how the Florence Nightingale Theory is utilized in nursing education, practice, and nursing research.

Discuss barriers caused by an organizational culture that can be encountered by nursing leaders that can make them feel powerless.

In collaboration with the approved course preceptor, students will identify a specific evidence-based topic for the capstone project change proposal (Dementia Patient Prevention). Students should consider the clinical environment in which they are currently employed or have recently worked (Long-term/Acute care center). The capstone project topic can be a clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a leadership or quality improvement initiative, or an unmet educational need specific to a patient population or community. The student may also choose to work with an interprofessional collaborative team.

Students should select a topic that aligns to their area of interest as well as the clinical practice setting in which practice hours are completed (Dementia Patient Prevention). 

Write a 500 word description of your proposed capstone project topic. Include the following:

1. The problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project that will be the focus of the change proposal.
2. The setting or context in which the problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project can be observed.
3. A description (providing a high level of detail) regarding the problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project.
4. Effect of the problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project.
5. Significance of the topic and its implications for nursing practice.
6. A proposed solution to the identified project topic with an explanation of how it will affect nursing practice.

Unit 4 Discussion – Am I Normal?

Instructions:

The average height for all males is 69.3 inches, with a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. For females, the average height is 64 inches, and the standard deviation is 2.8.  These are population values. For this week’s discussion, you will calculate a z-score based on your own height and determine whether your score is within the 95% normal range or if it is out of that range and considered unusual.

• Measure your height as precisely as possible to a tenth of an inch. For example, 5’2 ¼” would be 62.3 inches tall.
• Calculate the z-score based on population values for males or females.  Use the formula:  z= (x-µ)/σ where x is your height in inches.
• Calculate the normal range by creating the interval that is within 2 standard deviations of the population mean.  Multiply the population standard deviation by 2 and then add/subtract from the population mean.

In your discussion post, include the following, based on your calculations.

• Is your height within the normal range?  Is this what you expected?
• Would your height be considered unusual?  Why or why not.
• Have you encountered any challenges based on your height?  For example, someone who is shorter or taller may have difficulty finding pants that are an appropriate length.
• How is the concept of normality used in your field?  For example, a patient’s blood pressure is compared to a normal range of values, and a financial planner may check the “average” return of a stock.
• How does knowing what is usual help people and corporations and government organizations plan?  For example, how do airplane manufacturers use the normal height to design aircraft seating?
