Go to the link https://www.thinkculturalhealth.hhs.gov/clas/standards (Links to an external site.).

View the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services Standards (CLAS) categories aimed at equity and quality care (HHS, n.d.). Notice how these standards overlap with many of the expectations and standards in professional nursing practice!

• In what ways are you and your peers using these standards in your areas of nursing practice?
• Discuss one nursing action you might incorporate to improve cultural competence in your organization.

• Briefly describe how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) are similar.
• Explain at least three differences between CBT and REBT. Include how these differences might impact your practice as a mental health counselor.
• Explain which version of cognitive behavioral therapy you might use with clients and why. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

A condition/medication template will be provided. Conditions will be given for each system. You will identify one drug/medication to treat each condition and give full details for that medication on the template provided here.

Conditions:

• Psoriasis
• Thrush
• Dystonia
• Gout

Part II

Answer the following questions.

1. Describe the risk factors for hypocalcemia.

2. Describe osteoporosis.

3. Describe the treatment for abnormal calcium levels.

4. Describe osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

5. Describe the treatment for arthritis.

6. Describe gout, including its risk factors and treatment.

7. Describe the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, and corticosteroids for bone and joint inflammation.

Part III

When I attended elementary school back in the late 80’s, it was not uncommon for the school nurse to visit classrooms and check children’s hair for head lice. If the nurse did detect head lice on an individual they would be sent home until successfully treated in order to not spread head lice to other children. It seems that in this day in age checks and restrictions for children with headlice have became much more relaxed. Please follow the link and read the article.

Now answer the question: Should kids with head lice be allowed at school?

 A hospital organization is looking to adopt an electronic health record (EHR). It is important that the technology meet the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Meaningful Use (MU) Criteria. Please explain as a DNP, how your role would be beneficial for the hospital in choosing a proper EHR to meet the needs of clinicians and the Meaningful Use criteria. Please examine all stages of the Meaning Use criteria and support your discussion with relevant scholarly research. 

I need you use the document bellow as a guide  to create an interview format that I would use for an initial interview of a client.

March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.

In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
• Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
• Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

By Day 3 of Week 1

Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.

Assignment – Application of Concepts from Caring SciencePoints: 300 | Due Date: Week 4, Day 7 | CLO: 3, 4 | Grade Category: Assignments

Assignment Prompt

Summary: A theory can be used to guide practice.  This assignment is an exercise in supporting a clinical practice with theory and evidence.

Directions: Identify an outcome of nursing practice in your area of practice that can be improved.  For example, if you work in home health, you may identify that throw rug use by fall risk patients is too prevalent.  You may be able to use the problem that inspired the theory concepts that you developed in week two. Identify the concept in Watson’s Theory of Caring that could represent or include the outcome.  In our example, the outcome would be the changes in self through the change in the patient’s floor covering practice. Identify a practice that can be changed or implemented that may influence the outcome. Identify the concept in Watson’s Theory of Caring that includes the practice.  In our example, the practice could be to improve the understanding of fall hazards through the engagement in a teaching-learning experience, one of Watson’s Caritas Processes. Identify exactly how these two concepts will be measured with their operational definitions. Develop a proposition between the two. Present your outcome in an APA formatted paper  meeting the University’s standards for a written assignment.

Expectations

• Due: Monday, 11:59 pm PT
• Length: 5 to 7 pages including title and reference pages
• References: 3 to 10.  There should be enough to support the links between the concepts of the problem and the concepts of Watson’s Theory of Caring.
