Purpose

This assignment is intended to help you learn to develop a professional presentation.

Overview

The final piece of your portfolio project is a professional presentation in the form of a poster. Nurse leaders are expected to disseminate information to colleagues and the healthcare community. Developing a professional poster provides you with this experience.

Action Items

1. Review the resources listed under resources on developing academic posters in this module’s readings.
2. Develop your policy change proposal in the form of a poster to share with the leadership of your healthcare system (i.e., your classmates). Your poster should include the following elements:
   • Title of Policy Change Proposal: This will be an abbreviated version of your PICOT question.
   • PICOT Question: Provide your PICOT question.
   • Background: Describe the current practice/policy and explain why you are proposing a change.
   • Proposed Practice Policy Change: Provide 1 to 2 sentences that identify the purpose of the change and the proposed treatment
   • Literature: Include the 5 studies that best support the change you are proposing. Provide the citation and a 2- to 3-sentence summary of each article.
   • Implementation Plan: Identify the steps needed to implement the new policy at your organization.

NO PLAGERISM

Compare and contrast the serious medical and social
consequences of alcohol abuse to drug abuse. Which
abuse do you think is more detrimental to a client’s
quality of life? Why? Which abuse do you think is more
detrimental to a client’s family? Explain your answers.

I believe alcohol use is more detrimental, utilize the powerpoint to complete this, the setting of the clinical rotation is Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Newark, NJ 

go into detail and complete the following questions by answering the questions below. assignment must be 3 pages:

Assignment:

In your entry, briefly review the content, idea, issue, or event you are reacting to,
but go beyond an impersonal description of it. Comment on the significance of the
event, and explain what meaning it has for you. You may discuss how relevant the
idea is for you academically, professionally, or personally. Demonstrate that you
have thought about the issue in some way that is not superficial, hopefully by
relating it to class concepts. Then consider the implications of what you have
discussed, speculate on how the meanings or insights you’ve gained can be used
for improvement or growth

My initial thoughts/feelings on the topic were:

Input from readings and the class have altered my perception in the following
ways: 

Please substantiate this section with 3 scholarly references to the literature. Be
specific in this section.

Three implications for nursing practice are:
In this section make the implications relevant specifically to the topic at hand and
not nursing in general.

Describe a significant situation or event which occurred in your clinical day.
Explain why the event was important to you, as related to developing
understanding of the nursing care of a client who has (a) mental health
condition(s). Note that “significant event” differs from “critical incident;” i.e.,
the event or situation about which you write your journal entry should
reflect your specific personal learning/development of insight, as opposed to
an evaluation of the event/situation as “minor” or “major” to clinical practice
in general.

• Discuss how this event might have been perceived by others involved (e.g.,
the client, staff, classmates) and those external to the event. For example,
pretend you are someone else (a client, staff nurse, teacher, classmate, etc.)
and react to something you did today in your clinical practice; i.e., if you
attempted to communicate with a client who had aphasia today, write about
the situation from the perspective of the client, etc. Explore alternative ways
of interpreting and responding to the event, including an evaluation of the
feasibility and acceptance of each of these alternatives.

• Identify the specific learning has occurred for you in reflecting about this
event. What specific thing(s) did you learn today and how will you apply that
learning in your practice as a nurse? Identify some differences in what you
learned today from what you learned previously. How will you apply this
learning in your practice as a nurse? As appropriate, you may wish to re-
read a journal entry from a previous week, and write a reaction to what you
wrote, in relation to new learning that has occurred over time.

Note: State that seeing many young children attempting to end their lives made it difficult to try and not relate it to my younger siblings and keep everything neutral – the experience was an eye opener
