Informatics and the Application of New Knowledge

For this assessment, imagine a group of interprofessional stakeholders involved with patient care in your health care setting would like to increase positive patient outcomes. Nurse leaders have recommended changes in the practice that incorporate informatics and the application of new knowledge into your nursing practices. You are asked to present a brief overview using PowerPoint (or some other presentation software) to a small group of student nurses. After the session has concluded, the training department would like to use your presentation as a training resource. Preparation Select a nursing practice in your own health care setting that has changed for the better since you first began nursing. Directions Use the tools in your presentation software to develop a creative and engaging presentation. Use the notes portion of PowerPoint to capture your narrative script for each slide. Include the following in your presentation: Describe briefly an example of a nursing practice that has changed in the last two years. Explain how theory development, research exploration, and information technology supports the changes you have described. Describe the basic differences between research (qualitative and quantitative) and evidence-based practice (EBP). Explain how nurse leaders use communication practices and technology to build interprofessional stakeholder engagements in support of the change you have identified. Describe how nurse leaders use evidence-based practice to support and sustain patient-care outcomes. Additional Requirements Length: Submit a presentation of 1012 slides (not including title and reference slides). Include both a title slide and a reference slide with 46 references to support your presentation information and ideas. Formatting Guidelines: Create streamlined slides with minimal information. Be precise. Keep bulleted content on one line. Use images instead of words when appropriate. Narrative Script: Use the notes portion to create a detailed narrative for each slide.

Theoretical and Ethical Basis of Advanced Nursing Practice (Over sedation in the ICU)

APA format Grand theory discussion: identify and discuss the inter-related concepts from your selected theory. What aspects of the nursing meta-paradigm are addressed by your grand theory? Then provide information about how you will view your POI through the lens of the grand theory. How does the theory guide your assessment of the POI? How does the theoretical framework chosen categorize or define your POI? How does the theoretical framework effect your perception of the POI? Middle range theory discussion: identify and discuss the inter-related concepts within the middle range theory. What aspectsof the nursing meta-paradigm are addressed in the mid-range theory? How will this theory guide your assessment/perception of the POI? How does this mid range theory relate to your grand theory? Complexity science: how does complexity science relate to your POI? Depending on the nature of your POI, this conversation may have different foci for different students. For example, if your POI is glycemic management of the peri-operative patient, this discussion would center on the complex responses of the human body as a Complex Adaptive System. If your POI is focused on a policy change issue, the focus may be on organizational complexities with communication, change, etc. You must identify a Complex Adaptive System that relates to your POI in this section. Conclusion: This section should not contain any new information but should only provide a summary of what was discussed in the paper. Since you are going to be discussing theories within this paper, it is very important to provide the PRIMARY source when referencing the theory either in text and on the reference list. Who wrote the theory? And when was it published? Answer those questions and that is who the citation should be. For example, Roger’s theory of unitary beings should be cited to Rogers, not to a textbook or journal article that discusses the theory. If you are having problems locating the original source for the theory, refer to the reference lists with articles or in books that you are reviewing. You will almost certainly find the original source referenced within the article or textbook. This is a scholarly assignment which means it should be liberally referenced with peer-reviewed literature. Support what you say with evidence from the literature. There is no “hard and fast” rule for the number of references to include, but for an assignment of this magnitude,

Given what you know about special education today what are some things you might have changed or provided more support in this persons upbringing?

Please read Spaz: The True Story of My Life with ADHD by Leigh Macneil Please decide on the book by the third class meeting with a half-page justification of your choice.

Reflect on the logic and process by which you reach a decision. Which factors seem more important and why?

You will be placed in a particular decision-making scenario and as Indias Prime Minister you will be asked to make choices concerning an important international relations issue. You will be provided with factual background information for a hypothetical crisis confronting the leader, and questions that should shape your policy decision. Choose your policy keeping in mind the trade-offs between your various options; the risks and rewards in choosing one policy over another; alternative options that could address the problem; the costs of a particular option in the long and short-term; whether you can defend your decision to other colleagues; how your decision will affect the country and also your political survival.Are domestic and international factors important? Are the constraints you face based on capability (military, economic) or do international law and norms also impact your decision? In the paper that you will submit you are required to answer the questions given in the choose your policy section. Your answer should demonstrate careful reflection over the issues at hand.
