Present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and record a 10–15 minute video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form.

Introduction

Baccalaureate-prepared nurses have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to patient care outcomes during clinical experiences. Research suggests that creating and sharing video reflections may enhance learning (Speed, Lucarelli, & Macaulay, 2018).

For this assessment, you'll present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and reflect on various aspects of your capstone practicum experience. Such reflection will give you a chance to discuss elements of the project of which you are most proud and aspects of the experience that will help you grow in your personal practice and nursing career.

Instructions

Complete this assessment in two parts: (a) present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and (b) record a video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program.

Part 1

Present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group. Plan to spend at least 3 practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also consult with subject matter and industry experts of your choice. Be sure you've logged all of your practicum hours in Capella Academic Portal.

The BSN Capstone Course (NURS-FPX4900 ) requires the completion and documentation of nine (9) practicum hours. All hours must be recorded in the Capella Academic Portal. Please review the
 BSN Practicum Campus page for more information and instructions on how to log your hours.

Use the 
Intervention Feedback Form: Assessment 5 [PDF]
 Download Intervention Feedback Form: Assessment 5 [PDF]as a guide to capturing patient, family, or group feedback about your intervention. You'll include the feedback as part of your capstone reflection video.

Part 2

Record a 10–15 minute video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program. A transcript of your video is not required.

You're welcome to use any tools and software with which you are comfortable, but make sure you're able to submit the deliverable to your faculty. Capella offers Kaltura, a program that records audio and video. Refer to 
Using Kaltura for more information about this courseroom tool.

Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in these activities, please contact 
[email protected] to request accommodations. If you're unable to record a video, please contact your faculty as soon as possible to explore options for completing the assessment.

Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide
evidence-based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.

Deadline: Due by Saturday at 23:59 p.m.

CASE STUDY: Preschool Child: Ricky

Ricky, age 4 years, arrives in the clinic with his mother. Ricky lives with his mother and father,
who both work full-time, and his infant sister. Their extended family lives in a different state
more than 100 miles away. Both parents are of average height and in good health. Ricky’s
mother mentions that Ricky often expresses frustration, particularly in regard to food. Conflict
over food occurs every day. Mealtime is a battle to get him to eat, unless his mother feeds him.
Ricky’s baby sister seems to tolerate all baby foods but requires her mother to spoon-feed.
Ricky’s mother is quite frustrated and concerned that he will become malnourished.

Reflective Questions

1. What additional assessment information would you collect?

2. What questions would you ask, and how would you further explore this issue with the
mother?

3. In what ways does the distance of the extended family influence this family’s approach

to health promotion?

4. What factors would you consider to determine whether malnourishment is a factor in
this family?

LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES RELATED TO PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCIES

/in /by

The diagnosis of psychiatric emergencies can include a wide range of problems—from serious drug reactions to abuse and suicidal ideation/behaviors. Regardless of care setting, the PMHNP must know how to address emergencies, coordinate care with other members of the health care team and law enforcement officials (when indicated), and effectively communicate with family members who are often overwhelmed in emergency situations. In their role, PMHNPs can ensure a smooth transition from emergency mental health care to follow-up care, and also bridge the physical–mental health divide in healthcare.

In this week’s Assignment, you explore legal and ethical issues surrounding psychiatric emergencies, and identify evidence-based suicide and violence risk assessments. 

TO PREPARE

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about psychiatric emergencies and the ethical and legal issues surrounding these events.

THE ASSIGNMENT

In 2–3 pages, address the following:

· Explain your state laws for involuntary psychiatric holds for child and adult psychiatric emergencies. Include who can hold a patient and for how long, who can release the emergency hold, and who can pick up the patient after a hold is released.

· Explain the differences among emergency hospitalization for evaluation/psychiatric hold, inpatient commitment, and outpatient commitment in your state.

· Explain the difference between capacity and competency in mental health contexts.

· Select one of the following topics, and explain one legal issue and one ethical issue related to this topic that may apply within the context of treating psychiatric emergencies: patient autonomy, EMTALA, confidentiality, HIPAA privacy rule, HIPAA security rule, protected information, legal gun ownership, career obstacles (security clearances/background checks), and payer source.

· Identify one evidence-based suicide risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.

· Identify one evidence-based violence risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.

Quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) frameworks

/in /by

Develop a 4-page quality/performance improvement framework for your doctoral project.

Quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) frameworks are used to establish and evaluate processes in practice. The most common models for such a framework are Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) and Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC). The purpose of this assessment is to use key information from your project charter to develop a QI/PI framework from which you will begin developing a project implementation plan and logic model in the next assessment.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

· Competency 1: Align the project charter with a continuous improvement model.

1. Describe the current practice needing improvement.

1. Explain how QI/PI data will be collected and analyzed.

1. Describe the proposed QI/PI changes and expected outcomes.

1. Explain how changes in quality or performance will be evaluated.

1. Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.

Instructions

Is about reducing falls in a primary care clinic with the implementation of a fall risk management protocol, now the clinic doesn’t use any protocol.

Develop a quality/performance improvement (QI/PI) framework for your project, aligned with your project charter. Choose a model for your framework, using the PDCA or DMAIC model, a model used in your organization, or another familiar reputable model that is suitable for your project. PDCA or DMAIC model information and examples are included in Resources.
