ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN PART 3: RESEARCH ANALYSIS

Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.

Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.

In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.

Unit 5 Discussion 551

 

A 41-year-old obese male patient is diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF). He is told to begin a moderate exercise routine with a healthy diet and is prescribed several medications — including a diuretic.

  1. Based on your knowledge of the kidney and the disease of CHF, what factors would be important in selecting a specific diuretic? How would you explain to this patient how it works?
  2. If this patient developed a disease that caused the renal blood flow to be diminished, how might this impact the medication he is taking for his congestive heart failure? As his health care provider, how would you change his treatment in this situation?

Instructions: One to 1 pg and a half is enough its a discussion post. APA style. Must have at least 3 references.

Nursing 3b assignment

SCENARIO – You are preparing a seminar for your unit staff on effective communication. Your department supervisor has expressed interest in the seminar and wishes to review your material. You have decided you will present the Emotional Intelligence model. The EI (Emotional Intelligence) model has been promoted as a tool that is especially useful in toxic environments.

You develop a role-playing exercise to accompany the presentation. Once you have completed your rough draft, you share your work with the department supervisor. The department supervisor states, “I like your idea behind the seminar, but why are you presenting the EI model? Is your department that disruptive and chaotic? You feel that the nursing supervisor is criticizing your presentation, and you are set back by this line of questioning.

Instructions:

1. Read the scenario above, and then answer the following questions:

a. How should you respond to this statement?

b. Do you feel that the EI model could be useful in this situation? Why or why not? 

c. Do you feel the use of EI would assist in the resolution of this exchange? 

d. Do you personally relate to the aspects of EI, and do you think that it complements your personality?

2. Your paper should be:

. One (1) page

. Typed according to

Matrix attached

Part 2: Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Recommendation

Develop a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you present your research and data to support your clinical decision support (CDS) recommendation for quality improvement.

Based on your research, address the following in your presentation:

  • Synthesize your findings from your four articles, focusing on applicable models and/or theories relevant to CDS, quality improvement in your workplace, and on applicable evidence-based practice in nursing.
  • Recommend CDS or information to consider in clinical decision making and explain your rationale for the recommendation. Be specific.
  • Justify your recommendation. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Recommend how you would address possible limitations or challenges, including:
    • Explain how you would avoid alert fatigue.
    • Explain under what conditions you would allow an override to an alert.
    • Explain how you would monitor compliance.
    • Identify factors that might contribute to continuous overrides.
    • Justify conditions under which an override may be necessary.
  • Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your assignment total.
