Discussion 2 Question 1 The benefits of evidence-based practice warrant its integration in health care institutions. While the integration of evidence-based practice is at times impeded by several barriers, the use of the following strategies can aid the implementation of evidence-based practice in health care institutions. The first strategy I would employ as a future nurse leader in integrating evidence-based practice in my organization is the identification of the barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice and facilitators.
This strategy is important because it prepares the organization for the integration of evidence-based practices into its operations. By identifying the Continue reading...

Personal Perception of the Advanced Practice Role

My understanding of the advanced practice role is that it refers to modified codes of practice within the nursing profession. As such, I believe that the advanced practice role is a guideline within the nursing practice, which governs the modern practice.

Definition of the Advanced Practice Nursing

According to Barker, there has been confusion concerning the definitional distinction between ‘advanced practice nursing’ and the ‘advanced nursing practice’. Certainly, this has brought some misunderstandings. To clear the air, he defines advanced practice nursing as,

Any form of nursing intervention, which influences the healthcare outcomes for the individuals or populations (Barker, 2009).

He further specifies some of the interventions for the nurses. Ideally, these responses include the direct care of the individual patients and Continue reading...

Abstract

Misleading dental advertisements are one of the most rampant ethical issues in the dentistry practice. Misleading advertisements offer the wrong information to consumers with the aim of coercing them to buy products and services offered by the dental professionals. This is an unethical practice and the dentists involved undermine the integrity of the dental profession. This paper looks at ethical issues in dentistry. It gives special emphasis to misleading dental advertisements as an ethical issue. The paper also looks at the legal definition of misleading advertisements and dissects the legal frameworks and the regulatory bodies put in place to Continue reading...

The impact evidence-based practice has had on nursing practice has been echoed not only in nursing practice, but also in nursing education at large (Stevens, 2013). Evidence-based healthcare transformation and quality improvement encourage the establishment of care that is efficient, effective and safe. In order to attain this order, there have been numerous efforts direct-setting suggestions from nursing policy makers, leaders, and nurses. These recommendations outline how nurses have made or can make with respect to the attainment of evidence-based practice in nursing (Stevens, 2013). Some of these recommendations include model and theory development, education, as well as curricular Continue reading...

Further, the factors contributing to the controversy in nursing must be explored along with the evidence supporting CAM for pain relief. Actions Continue reading...

In the contemporary world, some of the cultural practices that were practiced in the ancient times could hardly apply, and they could be seen as the violation of the human rights. In the ancient Hindu culture, Suttee was not only demoralizing to women but also the violation of their human rights.

Introduction

Professional nursing boundaries are elements used by nurse professionals to help defiant their roles and interactions as they relate with patients. Professional boundaries allow safe and efficient personal connection between nurses and patients (Baca 2011). Holland defines professional nurse boundaries as unspoken physical and emotional laws understood by all nurses limiting the relationship between patient and the nurse (2012). The United States Department of Health and Medical services gives nurses roles to ensure patients receive quality health care at all times irrespective of the relationship with the care giver. Additionally, nurses are obliged to follow the nursing rules and Continue reading...

Hello Kristina, it is true that demand management entails planning using forecasts on resource utilization thereby reducing the costs in medical care. I would have contested your statement that demand management might not work for everyone until I read your personal experiences. It is true that demand management can reduce health costs, as shown by the statistics you adduced. However, and in agreement with your observations, many may not be aware of its benefits (Kongstvedt, 2013).

In today’s world, with the advancements in the pharmaceutical industry, most every illness and condition has a treatment. As I delve further into my future in a career in medicine, I learn more and more about the pharmaceutical treatments. Especially here in the Western Hemisphere, the general public even hears about these treatments every day through TV commercials and magazine ads. But how often do we hear about alternative treatments like yoga, herbal supplements, and essential oils? These treatments have much greater respect in the Eastern Hemisphere where medicine men are the doctors for their communities. However, these Continue reading...

The knowledge and skill of critiquing a qualitative research article is important because it allows one to determine its merits and its applicability to one’s practice consistent with the principles of evidence-based practice. In the critique one also gains appreciation of the differences and advantages that qualitative research has versus quantitative studies. This paper provides such an opportunity using a qualitative study focusing on the practice of closing ward doors in the psychiatric ward.

The impact of door locking policies must be adequately explored to resolve the dilemma and ensure an optimum ward environment. What is missing in Continue reading...

It is natural that technological innovations may create uncertainty among potential adopters (regarding its perceived and actual consequences), but the information base that EHRs offer should serve to reassure nurses about the systems’ potential. It is possible to alleviate such uncertainty by emphasizing potential efficacy gains from the technology in solving problems that nurses struggle with in their daily practice. This potential should offer the requisite motivation for the nurses and health care practitioners to seek out and process information on the role of the technology in solving their practice problems. My task in this context is to provide Continue reading...

Evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) are indispensable in the improvement of clinical systems, processes, and outcomes. The guideline lists recommendations that health care professionals can follow to achieve the stated outcomes. Guidelines are the product of scholarly work and developed using different methods, some more rigorous than others. For this reason, a legitimate concern of users was the variation in the quality of guidelines. To resolve this issue, EBGs are subjected to an appraisal using appropriate tools to ensure quality and for quality to become a basis in choosing to implement the guideline. The AGREE tool is an appropriate instrument for Continue reading...

What I hope to achieve in the classroom is mutual trust and understanding between the students and the teacher as well as acquisition of profound knowledge through applying a social learning theory. I chose this theory because it unites behaviorist and cognitive theories. “The theory has been called a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive learning theories because it encompasses attention, memory and motivation” (Social Learning Theory (Bandura), 2013, para. 1). It underlines the internal motivation of a human to copy other people’s behavior. I could combine different social work practice models: problem solving, task centered model, solution focus Continue reading...

Question 1

As a nursing practice teacher, one needs to ensure that students receive continuous feedback on their performance (Walsh, 2010). Besides, informing a student at midterm that he/she will fail is inadequate and reflects the poor attendance of the situation by a nursing practice teacher. According to Caputi & Engelmann (2010), it is an obligation of the student to work hard and position oneself towards achieving a good grade of the course and meeting the clinical competencies that potentially influence passing the course. Concisely, it is the responsibility of the teacher to make earlier observations about a student’s performance and Continue reading...

The term “culture”is used to identify the norms and activities of a given society. The communities believe in the given practices that belong to their community. These practices are usually specific to a given community includes the rites of passage from one stage of lifecycle to another. For example, most of the Egyptian communities are still deeply rooted in the old practices of their cultures, which, when critically evaluated indicate some adverse impacts on the society (Browdy and Omotayo, 83). A good example is the effects of female genital mutilation (FGM) among the Muslim community in Egypt. Nonetheless, Continue reading...

Compliance plan

The Medicare practices willingly set forth the compliance program to enable individuals and small physicians’ practices in giving quality health care to the patients. The aim of the compliance plan is to reduce fraud, prevent abuses, and minimize wastages. The primary aim of the compliance plan for the individual and small physician practice is to detect, prevent, and find resolutions of the variances. Hence, the compliance plan of the individual will contain the eight elements that are in the compliance program of the medical practice.

The ANA standards of nursing describe a competent and efficient level of nursing care. There are six primary standards of practice with each catering for a different aspect of nursing care. The fifth standard is titled "implementation" and is further subdivided into four subcomponents. In this paper, I will focus on the second subcomponent of the implementation standard, and this is known as health teaching and promotion. Through this standard, the registered nurse is required to employ strategies to promote health, as well as a safe environment. The nurse is supposed to provide health teaching that addresses various topics Continue reading...

Background of nursing study (Nursing Autobiography)

The individual is a nurse practitioner who runs a primary Care Centre serving a clinically underserved population in an underdeveloped area. The individual addresses the metaparadigms of nursing by focusing on person and health, thus maintaining the individual’s self-concept and ensuring that patients are receiving the care they need. This ensures a link in between the desire and the requirement of the patient. The individual has to act in the utmost interest of the patients depending upon own proficiency. Critical thoughts and good judgment is the requisites that every nurse must acquire in order to care for the Continue reading...

Cognitive Behavior practice theories are categories of related theories, which have been derived from, clinical experiences (Bateman, 2001). These methods reflect the role of both cognitive and behavioral approaches to helping and understanding human beings. They follow a basic principle that human behaviors are not consequences of experiences but rather a result of how these experiences are perceived (Lockman, 2001). The literature review section that follows attempt to explain the social environment, and the human behavior as well as giving an overview of the practice theory and its central assumptions. Using the provided case study I will use the Continue reading...

The world of legal practice is one that has numerous dynamics and complexities. It requires a person to be sharp and on edge to avoid shortcomings, although they are inevitable from time to time. A while back, a number of claims and complaints were raised about inappropriate treatment and handling by lawyers and advocates of the law. As a result, an oversight and governing body had to be created to help in running and providing guidelines for practice to its members (Chanock 34).
Law societies were developed with this intention. Over time, they developed the code of conduct, and Continue reading...

The difference between the identities of self-identified lesbians and self-identified boys lies in the semantic understanding of masculinity. Lesbians define it as social where as boys identify it as physical.

English is used because it is seen as an appropriate language for talking about sex.

The boys saw Liz as a woman and thus she did not understand the meaning of the concept of masculinity.
In the above context, English appears less suitable for discussing masculinity while Hindi seems better suited in understanding masculinity. An understanding of sexuality in Hindi gives it an emotional force. The lack of fluency in Hindi by Liz means she is unable to control the discussion.

The word moustache emphasizes the topic of discussion of the book, which is masculinity.

The title means Continue reading...

The health care providers are a group of professionals who work with the health profession. The health care providers are responsible for providing medical services to people. They are, therefore, tasked with maintaining the health of people. Faith diversity, on the other hand, is the varied beliefs that people have in various religions. Such religions include Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and others. This paper hence comparatively analyzes two faith philosophies towards providing health care. One of the philosophies is from the Christian religion while the other is from the Buddhism religion. Christianity is a faith in which its believers Continue reading...

Summary and Review

It is intuitive that nurse staffing practices, physical, organizational and environmental factors affect patient care, patient, and personal satisfaction. Meyer & O'Brien-Pallas (2010) sought to derive the Nursing Services Delivery Theory (NSDT) by applying the open system theory in then context of a large health care organization. This should help meet the need for a clear theoretical framework that draws on financial, organizational, clinical, and outcome variables from a nursing standpoint. Using data from Business Source Premier and CINAHL databases, this article conceptualizes a health care organization as an open system whose characteristics include a dynamic steady state, energy transformation, Continue reading...

Discussion 3 Question 1

There are three core functions of public health namely assessment, assurance and policy development (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). Under assessment, nurses monitor the health and environmental status so as to identify and develop solutions for the community environmental health problems. Additionally, nurses in their practice roles diagnose and further investigate health hazards and environmental health problems within the community (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). An example of a nursing practice role that contributes to this core function is assessment. Nurses are involved in collecting, analyzing and synthesizing of data, thereby determining the health status Continue reading...

Current healthcare models have been striving extremely hard to incorporate evidence-based practice into their health care approach. Some of the areas where efforts to utilize the evidence-based practice include health treatment and intervention, health policies and delivery decisions, healthcare funding, access to care among other areas. It is generally agreed that the standard of health care will be significantly improved if reliable and valid evidence is incorporated in all health care related decision-making.
However, in the real sense, decision makers in the healthcare sector are often unable to attain the goals and objectives of evidenced based practice. The standard Continue reading...

The cornerstone of the nursing profession lies in the process of healing and bringing the sick back to good health. Faith plays a central role in the healing process of patients. Therefore, it is important for nurses to grasp the essence of different denominations of faith of patients.
