PROFESSIONAL NURSING

PROFESSIONAL NURSING AND STATE-LEVEL REGULATIONS

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.

· Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.

· Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion.

Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your *state/region with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected.

Agencies for Quality

Explore one of the agencies for quality improvement listed in this module’s lecture. Write a one-page summary of what the agency does, who it affects, and how it is utilized. Below is the list of agencies. 

Agencies for Health Care Quality

There are many agencies that assist hospitals in becoming expert in using continuous quality improvement. Key organizations include:

  • The Institute of Medicine,
  • The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,
  • The National Quality Forum,
  • The Joint Commission,
  • The Magnet Recognition Program,
  • The Institute for Healthcare Improvement,
  • and, of course, the nursing student’s friend, Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN).

Customer service DP3

 

Service providers can deal with rude or inconsiderate customers by making sure that they remain professional. Just because the customer is rude does not mean that the service provider should also be rude. Service providers should avoid retaliation when dealing with rude customers.

  • How can you effectively deal with rude or inconsiderate customers?

SEE THE SCENIOR TO USE:

In my role as a student studying diverse fields, I've encountered a scenario that delves into the intersection of nursing informatics and clinical decision-making. This situation centers around using patient data to inform clinical reasoning and judgment, a crucial aspect of nursing leadership.

In this context, the scenario's primary focus is on leveraging data to enhance nursing practices and patient care. The scenario envisions a nurse leader overseeing a bustling hospital unit. The data at hand includes electronic health records (EHRs), patient vitals, medication administration records, and patient outcomes. EHRs can be conveniently accessed through secure electronic systems, while vitals and medication data can be collected using various medical devices and digital record systems.

The insights derived from this diverse set of data are invaluable. By scrutinizing patient vitals and medication records, patterns and trends can emerge, enabling early identification of potential complications (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2022). Comparative analysis of patient outcomes based on different interventions empowers nurse leaders to make well-informed decisions about treatment strategies. This approach not only improves patient care but also contributes to better overall health outcomes.

The role of a nurse leader's clinical reasoning and judgment cannot be overstated in this scenario. By critically examining the data, nurse leaders can pinpoint areas in need of refinement within patient care protocols (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2022). For instance, identifying medications associated with consistent adverse effects might prompt a nurse leader to recommend alternative treatments. Furthermore, clinical reasoning helps in recognizing anomalies in patient outcomes, triggering a deeper investigation into potential causes and interventions.

In conclusion, this scenario underscores how data-driven decision-making is central to effective nursing leadership. By deriving insights from patient data, nurse leaders can inform their clinical reasoning and judgment. Grounded in evidence-based practices, nurse leaders can implement changes that elevate patient outcomes and elevate the overall quality of care.

 

To Prepare:

· Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.

· Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.

· Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

· Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.

· Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.

· Include one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as knowledge worker.

· Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ responses.
