EBP, Research Utilization, and Knowledge Transformation Processes

According to Stevens (2013) the literature identifies 47 EBP models which can be broken down into 4 thematic groups. The first group, “EBP, Research Utilization, and Knowledge Transformation Processes,” (Stevens, 2013) includes a framework currently in use known as the ACE Star Model of Knowledge. This model helps guide nurses to translate evidence into practice. The evidence summary (Point 2 of the star) combines all the available research in order to determine the strength of the results. For example, a systematic review will aid in determining the overall value of the research before it can be translated into practice guidelines. Determining the value of the research is fundamental to determining whether the evidence is strong enough to support changes to best practice.

It is important to integrate both EBP and patient/family preferences so that research is guided by patient outcomes. By gaining knowledge regarding the perceptions and attitudes of the patient we can better determine the efficacy of changes to practice guidelines (Bakker & Mau, 2012). After all, if the evidence does not improve the overall perspective of care from the patient’s point of view then the overall quality of healthcare for the patient is compromised – despite what the standard metrics may show.

It is the nurse’s responsibility to determine patient/family practice and teach them about the evidence in cases where their practice may not match the research. Sometimes, what we, as nurses, may view as non-compliance from our patients is simply a matter of education. When we explain to our patients the “why” of a recommendation, I believe they are more likely to actively participate in their care. EBP, Research Utilization, and Knowledge Transformation Processes.

Ethical obligations involved in the physician-patient relationship essay

A physician who  doubts the diagnosis of a patient  should order a consultation. In this  assignment, you will review a  scenario in which a consultation was ordered  for a patient, and you  will analyze the ethical obligations involved in the  physician-patient  relationship.

Scenario

A family  practice doctor has a female  patient who is twenty-two weeks pregnant with  her third baby. The first  child was born at thirty weeks and survived;  however, her second  pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage at nineteen weeks.  The patient  would like to do all she can to have a successful pregnancy. As  of  today, the patient has no signs of premature labor, and her cervix is   closed. Given her history, the family practice doctor would like to  discuss  the possibility of a cerclage with an obstetric consultant.  Chances of  cerclage helping the pregnancy along are one in ten.

On the basis of  the above scenario, respond to the following questions:

Describe  the ethical obligations associated with the physician-patient relationship.

Explain  the outcome of this consultation with your justification.

Discuss  what you would have done differently to handle the case.

Provide  a real-life example of a consultation.

Community practice instructor journal entries

1 page only. No apa format. It is the the last week of my community practice. About geriatrics and nursing home.

Each week you will be expected to provide the following information to your community practice instructor through your journal entries:

What are your upcoming week’s specific learning goals and objectives?

What is your upcoming week’s detailed schedule at your community practice experience placement?

Were there any placement items/issues that occurred this week that you feel your instructor should be aware of that are private in nature and are more appropriately shared here than in the discussion board with your classmates?

Give a brief description of an objective you worked on this week. Make sure to cite at least one reference showing how your objective relates to the public health knowledge you’ve studied during this course or the public health course. You may choose to reference your e-text, journal articles, or videos you’ve studied during these courses or you may find an outside reference on your own to further enhance your public health knowledge and practices.

Remember, your journal entries are an important aspect of clinical learning as they serve to help you reflect upon and get the most out of your community practice experience. Therefore, your journal entry should include the who, what, where, and when of your community practice experience. Remember, this should simulate a dialogue that would normally take place face-to-face with your community practice experience instructor.

The statement “Vision drives, not follows a great work” What does this mean?

 

As nurses we sometimes loose site of the vision. We may see our patients as broken, troublesome, addicts, and as student nurses – a procedure (an IV stick, F/C insertion etc.). How do you get the vision or get the vision back and see things and people as they could be, or should be, or want to be?

 

How does time management relate to vision?

 

Jesus, the greatest leader of all time, simply stated, “Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19) and the disciples got up and followed him. How do you, the new grad nurse, say to your patient who is in pain, “Come get up and follow me, I’ll help you recover so you can go home” and then have them get up and follow you?

Ethical Issues in Nursing and Nursing Laws Essays

Part I: Nursing Laws

When nurses  exceed their scope of practice,  they violate their nursing license and may be  performing tasks that  are reserved by statute for another healthcare  professional, such as a  physician (Fremgen, 2012). Due to the shortage of  nurses, their  responsibilities are ever increasing, which may lead to actions  that  result in malpractice. However, nurses have not generally been involved   in lawsuits for exceeding their scope of practice or violating their  license,  unless they also acted negligently (Fremgen, 2012).

Accordingly, by  using the Internet  resources, research your state’s nursing laws and  regulations. Based on  the knowledge gained from your readings, respond to the  following  questions with examples:

When  should a nurse question the actions of a doctor?

When  can a nursing license be suspended or revoked?

Justify your  answers with appropriate  research and reasoning by using examples and  references from textbooks,  the South University Online Library, and other  acceptable references.  Cite sources in the APA format. Further, comment on  the postings of at  least two peers.

Part II: Ethical Issues in Nursing

By using the  Internet and the South  University Online Library resources, review scholarly  articles and  respond to the following:

Identify  and describe at least three critical ethical issues affecting today’s nursing  professionals.

As  a health care professional, explain the ways you will address these issues.

Justify your  answers with appropriate  research and reasoning by using examples and  references from textbooks,  the South University Online Library, and other  acceptable references.  Cite sources in the APA format. Further, comment on  the postings of at  least two peers.
