Lifespan Course Presentation – Stages of Child Development

Picture This: You land a great job in a fabulous hospital that has just built a state-of-the-art maternity ward.  You are given the task to develop a power point presentation to educate new parents about childhood development.  This presentation will focus on the main themes surrounding physical, cognitive, and social development, as well as skills and risks that occur throughout various stages of childhood.   

  

NURSING PICO QUESTION

1. Formulate a PICO question for your “Design A Research Study” assignment. Use the following formulated question as PICO question to create the Concept Map:

Which form of oxytocin administration during the third stage of labor is most effective in reducing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage?

1. Create a concept map for your PICO question, using the module resources on concept mapping. Using guidelines from the concept mapping topic of this module, create a new concept map based on your PICO question. See resources and guidelines attached below 
2. The first step is in concept mapping to create boxes with the four pieces of your PICO.
3. Then begin making connections between the population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes for your question. 
4. Expand your map by including additional levels of concepts, ideas, and search terms (synonyms) for each subtopic. 
5. You should have at least three levels of sub-concepts in addition to your main PICO concepts. This process will help you tremendously when you begin to search the databases for literature on your paper topic.

Dr. Smith has a full morning of minor office surgeries scheduled for today. Sarah, his nurse, has set up the room and prepared the patient. Prior to starting, Dr. Smith requests anesthetic without epinephrine due to the location of the surgical site. Searching the drawers and supply closet, Sarah reports, “We don’t have any.”
 

Fortunately, Sarah was able to borrow a vial from the physician in an adjacent office suite. Investigation by the office manager reveals that the supply was not reordered when the previous stock was disposed of due to its expiration date. This disruption in supply chain management resulted in an inefficient use of physician time and an uncomfortable situation in the presence of a patient.
 

Create a 2-page executive summary explaining to your staff the significant of stocking, placing timely orders, and provide a step by step method on what to do in order to avoid this type of situation in Dr. Smith’s office.
 

Gather your research from at least 2 sources other than your textbook. Cite your sources using APA guidelines. All submitted work should be free of grammatical errors.
