American Association of Nurse Practitioners “Standards of Practice”

https://storage.aanp.org/www/documents/advocacy/position-papers/StandardsOfPractice.pdf

The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker

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.

CASE STUDY 9.24.2020

  What caring behaviors prompted the nurse manager to assign the clinical nurse leader to engage in direct caring for Mrs. Smith? Describe the clinical nurse leader role established by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing in 2004.
2. What issues (ethical, spiritual, legal, social-cultural, economic, and physical) from the structure of the theory of bureaucratic caring influenced this situation? Discuss end-of-life issues in relation to the theory.
3. How did the nurse manager balance these issues? What considerations went into her decision making? Discuss the role and the value of the clinical nurse leader on nursing units. What is the difference between the nurse manager and the clinical nurse leader in terms of caring practice in complex hospital care settings? How does a clinical nurse leader fit into the theory of bureaucratic caring for implementation of a caring practice?
4. What interrelationships are evident between persons in this environment—that is, how were the vice president for nursing, nurse manager, clinical nurse leader, staff, and patient connected in this situation? Compare and contrast the traditional nursing process with Turkel, Ray, and Kornblatt’s (2012) language of caring practice within the theory of bureaucratic caring

Hi 

I completed my two pages paper and would like someone to correct my sentence structure and proofread.  I already used grammarly to correct.  NO need to correct my reference.  The question for the paper is:

” Give an example of the clinical manifestations of a hemorrhagic stroke, based on the anatomy/location of the bleed? Explain why the symptoms would be seen based on the anatomy and physiology. “

This is my paper:

  

A 62-year-old man has a history of chronic atrial fibrillation and has been taking aspirin daily for the past four years (Runchey & McGee, 2010). While working at his workshop 2 hours earlier, the patient had an abrupt onset of severe headache (Runchey & McGee, 2010). Ten minutes later, the patient had difficulty holding the tools in his left hand and needed assistance to get to the car (Runchey & McGee, 2010). The patient at the emergency department had a new onset of left side weakness, very high blood pressure at 200/108 mmHg, elevated heart rate at 104, a dense left hemiparesis, vomits twice, and positive Babinski responds (Runchey & McGee, 2010). The CT result showed that the patient had cerebral hemorrhage due to leakage of blood into the brain (Runchey & McGee, 2010). The present symptoms of severe headache, vomiting, bilateral Babinski signs, and neck stiffness indicated that the patient had a hemorrhagic stroke (Runchey & McGee, 2010). The study of Ojaghihaghighi, Vahdati, Mikaeilpour, and Ramouz (2017) also pointed out that patients who experienced a hemorrhagic stroke can develop in a few minutes with clinical manifestations including acute onset of headache, vomiting, and severe increase in blood pressure.

Normally, the brain receives blood from two major pairs of arteries, which branch throughout the brain tissue and supply a constant flow of oxygen, glucose, and nutrient to the brain cell for their function (Rink & Khanna, 2011). When a hemorrhagic stroke occurs, it shows an abnormal bleeding abrupt or rupture of the normal blood flow (McCance & Huether, 2019). The bleeding can occur either within the brain or between the brain and the skull (Harvard Health Publishing, 2019). There are two major hemorrhagic strokes include intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Intracerebral hemorrhage occurs when there is a broken blood vessel within the brain due to high blood pressure, excessive alcohol use, smoking cigarettes, and the use of cocaine or amphetamines (Harvard Health Publishing, 2019). The most common location is at the bifurcations in or near the circle of Willis (McCance & Huether, 2019). The intracerebral hemorrhage usually happens in a certain part of the brain, such as the basal ganglia, cerebellum, brain stem, or cortex (Rink & Khanna, 2011). With long-standing high blood pressure and a lot of stress on the artery wall, it causes the artery ruptures and start to bleed out of the cerebral circulation (Harvard Health Publishing, 2019). The symptoms can worsen over a period of 30 to 90 minutes, including sudden weakness, inability to speak, vomiting, difficulty walking, and inability to control eye movement (Harvard Health Publishing, 2019). 

For subarachnoid hemorrhage, the bleeding from a damaged blood vessel causes blood to accumulate the brain’s surface and fills a portion of the space between the brain and the skull (Harvard Health Publishing, 2019). Patients with head trauma and brain aneurysm are the most common cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (Cleveland Clinic, 2020). Blood escapes from defective or injured vasculature into the subarachnoid space (McCance & Huether, 2019). The bleeding into the subarachnoid hemorrhagic space due to aneurysm rupture leads to vasospasm and brain ischemia (Zhang, Tao, Feng, & Chen, 2017). When blood flows into the cerebrospinal fluid, it increases the brain’s pressure and causes immediate headache. The subarachnoid hemorrhage symptoms include a very severe headache, loss of consciousness, stiff neck, seizure, confusion, nausea and vomiting, and inability to look at a bright light (Harvard Health Publishing, 2019). Therefore, the bleed location, along with the symptoms, indicates the kind of hemorrhagic stroke of a patient.
