Reference to Topic 6 DQ1 Question

Re: Topic 5 DQ 1

One problem, we have on our unit is communication between emergency nurse giving accurate report to floor nurse before transferring patient to floor. Communication is a basis in the health profession and crucial in the provision of nursing care. Nurses need to communicate and give reports to their fellow nurses in an effective manner to ensure continuity of care and also guide in deciding patient’s management plan (Drach?Zahavy & Hadid, 2015). Nonetheless, in a majority of emergency departments, there is a shortcoming in the manner that emergency nurses give reports to floor nurses when transferring patients for further management. For instance, emergency nurses transfer patients without prior communication, proper documentation of the patient’s history, initial treatment, and management plan. Consequently, it creates confusion among the floor nurses since they may not be prepared to receive a patient and cannot identify the initiated management and the plan of care.

Benner’s theory of ‘From novice to expert’ can be applied in solving the communication problem between nurses in the ED and floor. According to Benner, for nurses to become experts, they have to develop skills and understand patient care for over time through a solid educational base and a lot of experience (Davis & Maisano, 2016). In the ED, there are beginner nurses who have little experience in emergency care and hence need guidance by proficient and expert nurses. The experienced nurses should be aware that novice might forget to communicate to other floors of an incoming patient, or document the nursing care offered. Consequently, they should orient every nurse new to the ED and provide proper directions (Persky & Robinson, 2017). This is by providing adequate guidance on how to report to other wards as well as document emergency care and treatment given before transferring the patient.

On the other hand, beginner nurses should be ready to develop their nursing skills, get experience, and accept corrections (Persky & Robinson, 2017). Besides, they can enquire from expert floor nurses if they have given a thorough report and documented the necessary information. Benner’s theory is applicable in solving the communication problem among nurses since the shortcoming could be a result of new nurses lacking orientation and guidance from the experienced nurses (Persky & Robinson, 2017). If their communication skills are not developed when they are beginners, the shortcomings may persist in their practice. However, if they are guided, they will polish their reporting and documentation skills, and this will decrease the incidences of transfers without prior communication and inaccurate patients’ reports.

Topic 6: Role of Research and Research Process for Advanced Register Nurses

Topic 6 DQ 1: (Refer to Above)

Review the evidence-based practice project ideas you described in Topic 5 DQ 1. Based on your initial ideas, what types of scholarly nursing research (such as quantitative or qualitative research, peer-reviewed resources, etc.) would be required to further investigate the issue? Identify the criteria you would use to evaluate the appropriateness of the research. Why is it important to select research that meets these criteria?

Topic 6 DQ 2

Imagine the following scenario: You are taking the evidence-based practice course and one of your classmates shares an EBP project draft with you. You notice that some of the research has not been cited correctly or even at all. When you approach your classmate, the response is that “no one will notice and it is not a big deal anyway.” What are your next steps in speaking with your classmate? Consider how this could reflect on the credibility and integrity of the individuals involved, the University, and the profession.

Topic 7: Evidence-Based Practice Initiatives

 

Topic 7 DQ 1 – My specialty is Clinical Nurse Leader

Describe the steps of the evidence-based research process and the importance of using them. In the initial stages of an EBP project, where do nurses in your specialty go to locate sources of information that help them to determine whether or not a practice problem is appropriate for an evidence-based practice change proposal. Include two specific sources on information in your discussion.

 

Topic 7 DQ 2

What are some of the major ethical issues in conducting research that impacts the advanced registered nurse? Discuss the role of the advanced registered nurse in advocating for patient safety and rights in conducting research.

Topic 8 – Role Development for Advanced Registered Nurses

Topic 8-DQ 1

Identify three professional nursing organizations that interest you. Provide a brief summary of their purpose, requirements, and any differences in focus, population, scope, or intent. How do these organizations align to your goals and worldview?

Topic 8 – DQ 2 – My state is Texas

Research health care legislation that is being considered in your state. What impact might this legislation have on your future practice? What impact does it have on the collective practice of nurses in your state? How do you envision yourself potentially becoming involved in political advocacy for the profession in your future practice?

Benchmark – Future Scope, Role, and Professional Obligations Paper

Advanced registered nursing graduates are entering the profession at dynamic time when roles and scope of practice are shifting based on developments in legislation and policy in response to the evolving needs of the health care system. Professional nursing organizations play an important role in making sure the perspectives of advanced registered nurses are heard, and in supporting nurse specialties in their efforts to expand their scope of practice and their full participation throughout the health care system.

For this assignment, you will conduct research on the current scope of practice for your specialty and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system. Write a 1,250-1,500-word paper that includes the following:

1. A discussion of the scope of your future role as an advanced registered nurse, including any regulatory, certification, or accreditation agencies that define that scope.
2. A discussion of three professional nursing organizations that you think are most influential in advancing the scope and influence of advanced nursing. Of these organizations, evaluate the one that you would most like to join. How do its goals and mission fit in with your worldview and philosophy of care? How might membership in this organization improve your practice?
3. A discussion of a controversial or evolving issue that is most likely to affect your scope of practice or role in the next few years. How do you think this issue could influence the profession and other stakeholders, and why does it matters to the advanced registered nurse?

You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
