Reflection 6

Purpose

Often, after a class is done for the week, we drop it and move on. The goal of reflection assignments is to encourage you to reflect on what we did in class that week, after the class to consolidate your learning. There will be specific prompts for you to answer; sometimes this is a reflective assignment, and other times it is more of an application assignment (e.g., given a case example and having to apply something from class). The hope is that this will help you to use what you have learned to ensure concepts “stick” or to think critically about your response to what was learned.

Task

Respond to the following prompt and upload your Word document. It should be 1-2 pages and will be due
11:59 p.m. Friday.

Reflection #6

Sometimes it is helpful to provide information about the brain and neurobiology during psychoeducation with clients. Some clients are more or less interested in this, but for those who are interested, it can often be quite validating to know there may be physiological differences they are experiencing in response to stress.

Imagine that you wanted to provide psychoeducation to your client about some aspects of neurobiology as it relates to PTSD. Write out what you might say: (1) to an adult, and (2) to a child. If you would accompany visual images with this, you do not need to draw them, but could describe what they would include. Be sure to provide a bridge to what this information tells us about how we might work with them or what we might need to do to help them.

They would not need to know the level of detail we have covered, of course, so do not feel a need to explain everything!

Grading Criteria

I'm really not looking to take off points for the reflection assignments. I don't have specific rubrics for them, but if you do not seem to be engaging with the prompt or answering the questions, I may take off points. Each reflection assignment is worth
5 points.

 

This Soap Note Case Study it shoudl be in  (iron deficiency anemia diseases)

The nine areas of competency are:

· Scientific Foundations

· Leadership

· Quality

· Practice Inquiry

· Technology and Information Literacy

· Policy

· Health Delivery System

· Ethics

· Independent Practice

For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program has prepared you to meet the competency (for a total of at least nine paragraphs). Then, propose how you plan to engage in social change in your community as a nurse practitioner. Finally, describe 1–2 legislative and/or advocacy activities in which your state (Forida) nurse practitioner (psyquiatric nurse practitioner) organization(s) are involved. Be specific and provide examples.

one paragraph for each competency, state: Florida and the nurse practitioner: the PMHNP. Please free of plagiarism, and valid references

Describe the role of each component of the ECG in the heart’s contraction: the P wave, the PR interval, the QRS complex, the ST segment, the T wave, and the QT interval. What is the difference between artifact and dysrhythmia? How can you reduce artifacts? What are some situations that can occur if artifact is not reduced or eliminated?

You are working in the Telemetry Unit. The nurse “watching” the monitors is reading a magazine. She constantly turns off an alarm that looks a lot like Ventricular Fibrillation. She tells you that it is not a dysrhythmia, it is just artifact. What do you think about her actions? What is the worst case scenario in this situation? What would you do?

Must be a minimum of 250 words.

Literature Review/Synthesis

Once you have thoroughly learned your studies (this is where the Table of Evidence you did previously will help you!), you need to communicate to your readers the level and quality of literature that was reviewed. The synthesis is a description of the entire body of literature that you have reviewed that supports your EBP project.  

 

Literature Synthesis = (100 points)

Purpose/Objective of this assignment is to:

1. Provide a 


synthesis and analysis

 of previously selected articles through a systematic review.

2. Evaluate the findings, identifying gaps in knowledge and implications for future research.

 

Assignment requirements: Students will utilize the articles selected to write a 

6 to 7 page
 review of the literature on the selected topic. Additional research articles may be included if necessary. (
Note that this is the first section of a two-section paper. (A 4 – 5-page paper discussing the clinical implications of the literature review findings on nursing practice will follow this literature review. See Assignment – Clinical Project: Clinical Implications Paper.) Include a background section.

1. Articles will be reviewed in an integrated manner. Summarize and provide a detailed synthesis of the information from all of your studies as it relates to the topic of interest.

2.

Must provide a synthesis and critical analysis of research designs, methodologies, sampling, independent and dependent variables, research findings, threats to reliability and validity. Discussion to include trends, areas of commonalities and differences in approaches.

3. Discuss outcomes and findings

4. All information must be cited and referenced appropriately.

5. Paper will utilize all appropriate APA 7th Ed guidelines for intro, conclusion, citations, references, document organization, formatting, academic language, and grammar. 
First person is not appropriate in this paper.
