Preventing falls while in the hospital

Requirements
: Students will review the California Nurse Practice Act (NPA) and a literature review on hospital policies and procedures and write a brief essay describing the major functions of each.

The majority of the essay should be a reflection on the impact that the Act (or a specific part of the NPA) and hospital policies will have on your professional status as a registered nurse

-The assignment was for you to simply write that the NPA is the state law that dictates how registered nurses are permitted to practice within each state. —–=—Additionally, hospital policies are very specific rules that give great detail on how an R.N. may practice.

-For example, the NPA tells us we must provide care, comfort and safety for our patients.

-One way to keep them safe is by preventing falls.

-The hospital policy will then detail how, what, with what type of solution, and how frequently.

-In addition to this there will be a separate policy on the use of bedrails.

-thesis or a purpose statement.

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

3. 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?

4. 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.
