 Reflect upon your selected practice problem DIABETES and select one of the organizational or behavioral change models which were used in healthcare for many years up until the early 2000s. (PROCHASKA AND DICLEMENTI’S CHANGE THEORY) (KNOWLEDGE OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE THEORIES)  Due to the changing nature of our healthcare environment and the growing complexity of our patients, these older models and theories lost their ability to provide a successful framework in healthcare and are not currently used for translation science and nursing clinical practice change projects.

• Select one model or theory from the readings or lesson this week.
• Provide a description of the components in the organizational or behavioral change models or theory.
• Does the model or theory contain a component for appraising the evidence?
• Does the model or theory contain a component for networking with the stakeholders during the design phase and continuing through the sustaining phase of the project?
• Does the model contain components for identifying barriers and addressing barriers to implementation?

MY CHANGE THEORY PROBLEM IS RELATED TO DIABETES  PLEASE INCORPORATE WITH PROCHASKA AND DICLEMENTIS’S CHANGE THEORY,

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy*
• Analyze legal and ethical implications of counseling clients with psychiatric disorders*

* The Assignment related to this Learning Objective is introduced this week and submitted in Week 4.

Select a client whom you observed or counseled this week. Then, address the following in your Practicum Journal:

• Describe the client (without violating HIPAA regulations) and identify any pertinent history or medical information, including prescribed medications.
• Using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), explain and justify your diagnosis for this client.
• Explain any legal and/or ethical implications related to counseling this client.
• Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

A patient with cancer, receiving chemotherapy is admitted with a systemic mycoses. She is going to be started on amphotericin B to treat the infection. 

What additional information needs to be gathered about this patient?

Why is this patient at risk for a fungal infection?

The nurse will anticipate the adverse effects of this medication on specific organs. What baseline lab tests should the nurse expect to review and regularly monitor in this patient and why?

What are the major adverse effects of amphotericin B

What steps will the nurse take to decrease the effects on the patient.

Describe comfort measures that should be used for this patient.

Patients receiving chemotherapy are at risk of myelosuppression. What does this mean and how will the nurse care for the patient because of the myelosuppression?

*********** Topic I choose: Pharmacy Services********

The Comprehensive Final Project (Assignment #4) has been designed for the student to identify federal and state policy roots in a specific health services organization.  Each student will select a specific management area for a specific organization.  The student will identify a health services setting where they have access to the policy manual (or a sample policy manual).  The setting may include a single location or an organization with many types of services and many service delivery settings. Select one of the following spheres where you will map out and describe a minimum of five (5) organizational policies linked to federal or state legislative mandates. Note some policies may be required for accreditation and also related to public policy.  This is the case with many NCQA standards.

Prepare a final PowerPoint presentation with no more than 10-15 content slides. A cover and reference slide must be provided.  Draw on what you have learned throughout the class including:

-a summary of each (5 in total) organizational policy and the federal/state legislative roots for each policy (by name and statute),

-any pending changes to the legislation (to each)

-and your metrics for the organization in terms of performance (for each)

Health Management Areas (select one): 

• facilities planning and maintenance
• occupational health & safety
• prevention programs for health disparities
• payment processing and billing
• human resources
• health information technology and EMR
• pharmacy services (CHOSEN TOPIC)
• laboratory services

The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?

Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

To Prepare:

• Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.
• Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
• Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

• Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
• Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
• Include one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as knowledge worker.
• Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ responses.
