 NO COMMENTS
. Although every RN in the United States takes the same licensing exam (NCLEX-RN), each state is charged with the licensing of nurses and the creation of law and rules to govern nursing practice in that state (new york). Locate the Nurse Practice Act (or nursing law) for your state (new york), and investigate one of the following issues: delegation by the RN to the unlicensed assistive personnel, use of the term nursing diagnosis, patient abandonment (refusal of an assignment), or requirements for continued licensure (practice, continuing education, or others). Tell us what your state’s law says on this issue and how this impacts your practice
2. Codes of ethics and standards for professional nursing practice have been developed by some professional nursing organizations. These codes and standards guide us in our practice and our interactions with consumers, other nurses, and other healthcare professions. Select at least one of the ethical standards or one of the standards of practice and tell us how you implement this in your current practice or how you will implement it in your future practice. Which standard is most challenging to you, and why?

Assessment Tools Analysis
 
Purpose of this assignment is to provide the student with the opportunity to examine assessment tools that evaluate on-physical measures. Applying Watson’s Theory of Human caring integrates the mind-body-spirit dimensions. Nurses should be knowledgeable in tools to expand the abilities of nurses to assess and evaluate clients in various stages and states of health, illness, stress and life.
 

  • Prepare and submit a 1,050 – 1,400 word, APA-formatted paper, which includes:
    • A selection of three assessment tools below
    • Using the Online Library, research the selected tools
    • Describe each tool and the population for which it might be useful. State data about tool such as cost, length, and ease in using tool, for what populations it is best designed, and validity of information gained
    • Describe how this tool could enhance the assessment phase of the nursing process and impact quality of health care delivered by the nurse
  • Apply these tools to the vulnerable population described in the Vulnerable Population and Self-Awareness assignment of Week Two

DISCUSS WHY THE CURRENT NURSING PRACTICE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

 NO COMMENTS
One of the key roles of the master’s-prepared nurse is to lead practice change across the full spectrum of healthcare settings. Master’s-prepared nurses must be able to translate the existing body of knowledge around a phenomenon of interest (accessible through published research studies) to inform decision making related to nursing practice.
Requirements:
A.  Identify a current nursing practice within your healthcare setting that requires change.
1.  Describe the current nursing practice.

  1. click here for more information on this paper

2.  Discuss why the current nursing practice needs to be changed.
 
B.  Identify the key stakeholders within your healthcare setting who are part of the current nursing practice.
1.  Describe the role each identified key stakeholder will play to support the proposed practice change.
C.  Create an evidence critique table (see “Sample Evidence Critique Table”).
1.  Identify five sources from scholarly peer-reviewed journals, which adhere to the following standards:
a.  Each source must be published within the past five years.
b.  Each source must relate to the change identified in part A.
c.  Each source must be listed in the table using APA format.
2.  Identify the evidence strength of each chosen source, using the Strength of Evidence Table in the study plan.
3.  Identify the evidence hierarchy of each chosen source, using the Evidence Hierarchy Table in the study plan.
 
D.  Develop an evidence summary based on the findings from part C that includes each of the five sources used (suggested length of 1–2 pages for all sources).

E.  Recommend a specific best practice based on the evidence summary developed in part D.
 
F.  Identify a practice change model that is appropriate to apply to the proposed practice change.
1.  Justify why you chose the practice change model.
2.  Explain how to apply the identified model to guide the implementation of the proposed practice change.
 
G.  Discuss possible barriers to successful implementation of the proposed practice change.
 
H.  Discuss any possible ethical implications that may arise while planning or implementing the proposed practice change.
 
I.  When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
 
Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the Rubric Terms web link included in the Evaluation Procedures section.
Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in an assessment, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the assessment.
Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from outside sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the APA G
