Local Practice Problem Exploration

 

Local Practice Problem Exploration

Reflect upon the selected national practice problem in Week 1 to address the following.

  • From a local perspective, how does the practice problem impact nurses, nursing care, healthcare organizations, and the quality of care being provided?
  • Identify the local key stakeholders related to the selected practice problem.
  • Describe one approach used at your unique setting to address this problem. From your perspective, is this intervention effective in addressing the problem? Why or why not? If this practice problem is not addressed at your workplace, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a local scale to address the problem.

  Please answer these questions separated and use at least 3 sources no later than 5 years.

Nursing

1. In your own words explain what the 2 step TST is and why it is used?  This is NOT a description of the TB test itself.  It is the use of the TWO step test, which is not simply a description of the procedure.

2. In your own words explain the diagnostic tests used for influenza and why they are important (in addition to knowing what the patient has)?  

3. “How does smoking affect my lungs?  Why does it increase my risk of developing COPD?”

Again, full credit if in your own words.  The book is an excellent resource about this, but you need to be able to explain it to a lay person!

PICOT Question Paper

 

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.  Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of 500 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

  1. Evidence-based solution
  2. Nursing intervention
  3. Patient care
  4. Health care agency
  5. Nursing practice

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

Assignment: Group Processes and Stages of Formation

In your role, you must understand group processes and stages of formation, as this will help you develop groups and determine an individual’s appropriateness for group therapy. Whether you are at the beginning stages of group formation or facilitating a session for a developed group, it is important to consider factors that may influence individual client progress. For this Assignment, as you examine the video Group Therapy: A Live Demonstration in this week’s Learning Resources, consider the group’s processes, stages of formation, and other factors that might impact the effectiveness of group therapy for clients.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Analyze group processes and stages of formation
  • Analyze curative factors of groups
  • Analyze the impact of curative factors on client progress
  • Recommend strategies for managing intragroup conflict
To prepare:
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on group processes.
  • View the media, Group Therapy: A Live Demonstration, and consider the group dynamics.

The Assignment

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

  • Explain the group’s processes and stage of formation.
  • Explain curative factors that occurred in the group. Include how these factors might impact client progress.
  • Explain intragroup conflict that occurred and recommend strategies for managing the conflict. Support your recommendations with evidence-based literature.

Note: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The sample paper provided by the Walden Writing Center provides examples of those required elements (available at http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/57.htm). All papers submitted must use this formatting.
