Application of Concepts from Caring Science 1&2 copies

 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

  • 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.

Assignment: Asthma and Stepwise Management

Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors.

One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.

To Prepare
  • Reflect on drugs used to treat asthmatic patients, including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients, including adults and children.
  • Consider how you might apply the stepwise approach to address the health needs of a patient in your practice.
  • Reflect on how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.
By Day 7 of Week 3

Create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used in a staff development meeting on presenting different approaches for implementing the stepwise approach for asthma treatment. Be sure to address the following:

  • Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for the asthma patient from your practice as well as the impact these drugs might have on your patient.
  • Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management for your patient.
  • Explain how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease. Be specific.

Week 3: Respiratory System

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are significant public health burdens. Currently, more than 25 million people in the United States have asthma (HealthyPeople.gov, 2019). As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely encounter patients who will present with respiratory disorders, including asthma or COPD. Understanding specific treatment protocols as well as the types of pharmacotherapeutics used to treat respiratory disorders is important to ensure the effective and safe delivery of advanced nursing practice.

This week, you will evaluate drug therapy plans for patients who present with asthma and analyze the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management from a patient in your professional practice.

 I feel that narrative family therapy can be largely beneficial for families and couples as family narrative therapy takes on the perspective that different people organize and compartmentalize their life events through different stories of events that occurred (Miller & Madigan, 2011). Many people will discuss their reasoning for coming to therapy, or the main problem that has sent the to therapy, from their perspective, by telling stories or narratives of what occurred in their lives (Miller & Madigan, 2011). Their stories thus create a larger picture of differing life events through a series of different time frames, which have thus created their problem or current predicament from their point of view (Miller & Madigan, 2011). Therefore family narrative therapy links together all of these stories, ideas and thus problems allowing the therapist to see the larger perspective of the family as an entire unit, and the involved limitations of their point of views (Miller & Madigan, 2011). 

Due to the fact that this patient is very resistive to therapy, as well as uncooperative in coming to therapy. It may be beneficial for him to attend groups with other men in order to realize that he is not alone in his situation. Another helpful form of therapy that may allow him to become more proactive could be motivational interviewing (Wheeler, 2014). Motivational interviewing therapy may aid in open communication that can allow the patient to speak out as to what reasons he may not be attending therapy (Wheeler, 2014). By asking open ended questions that are not accusatory, this can allow the patient to express concerns, problems while helping the therapist to receive an understanding of what can remotivate the patient to become more proactive (Wheeler, 2014). It is also vital in motivational interviewing that the therapist practice evocation, where the patient feels accepted and that they have help in pulling out all the qualities within them in order to be successful (Wheeler, 2014). These strategies can help the patient to become more proactive and cooperative with therapy, as well as aid the therapist in understanding why the patient has not been participating In doing so, the therapist can aid this family unit in getting back on track.
