Discussion: Parent Guide

Feeding, eating, and elimination disorders can be difficult to detect and treat. Parents need education and information to determine if their infant, child, or adolescent may have these types of disorders. A Parent Guide can be a useful tool to help both the clinician and the parent in understanding the child or adolescent and providing behavioral strategies for helping families work with these disorders. For this Discussion, you will be assigned a feeding, eating, or elimination disorder.

In this Discussion, you develop a Parent Guide for your assigned feeding, eating, or elimination disorder.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Analyze signs and symptoms of feeding, eating, and elimination disorders

· Analyze pathophysiology of feeding, eating, and elimination disorders

· Analyze diagnosis and treatment methods for feeding, eating, and elimination disorders

· Create professional cover letters, resumes, and portfolios

To Prepare for this Assignment: PowerPoint

· Discussions instructions below.

Using evidence-based research, design and develop a Parent Guide for your assigned disorder including: see attachment .

· Signs and symptoms

· Pathophysiology

· How the disorder is diagnosed

· Treatment options

Provide a minimum of three academic references

Preparing for Change

What steps might be utilized to move a practice issue from development and design through implementation to the realization of positive outcomes? How does theory provide a framework? What barriers might you encounter?

To prepare:

• Review the theories and frameworks (i.e.,      change, organizational, behavioral) presented in Chapter 3 of the course      text, Translation of Evidence into Nursing and Health Care      Practice, and conduct additional research of your own. What insights do      these theories provide regarding how to take your practice issue from      development and design through implementation to the realization of      positive outcomes?
• Think about your practicum setting and evaluate      the readiness for change in this environment. Identify barriers and      facilitators for change.
• Consider strategies to address the barriers and      assess why they might be effective based on theory.

By tomorrow Wednesday 10/17/18 at 12 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essays in APA format with at least 3 references (see attached files) from the list of REQUIRED READINGS below. Include the headers as numbered below:

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

1) Assess the readiness for change in your hospital environment. Discuss those factors: (a) barriers and (b) facilitators that need to be considered (see attached chapter 15 in the file area)

2) Identify a theory or framework that will guide your change efforts. (see attached chapter 3 in the file area)

3) Discuss strategies to address barriers and provide one or more insights regarding why you think they might be effective based on theory.
