When seeking to identify a patient’s health condition, advanced practice nurses can use a diverse selection of diagnostic tests and assessment tools; however, different factors affect the validity and reliability of the results produced by these tests or tools. Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.

Not only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture—among other factors—are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.

 

Include the following:

• An explanation of the health issues and risks that are relevant to the child you were assigned.
• Describe additional information you would need in order to further assess his or her weight-related health.
• Identify and describe any risks and consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child’s health. Think about how you could gather this information in a sensitive fashion.
• Taking into account the parents’ and caregivers’ potential sensitivities, list at least three specific questions you would ask about the child to gather more information.
• Provide at least two strategies you could employ to encourage the parents or caregivers to be proactive about their child’s health and weight.
• Based on the risks you identified, consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child’s health. Think about how you could gather this information in a sensitive fashion.
• Consider how you could encourage parents or caregivers to be proactive toward the child’s health

The Assignment

Case #2:  75-year-old non-English speaking female recently diagnosed with breast cancer

Assignment (4 pages, not including title and reference pages):

  

Which translation model provides a framework for practice change?

The transitional model I would use for implementation would be the Havelock’s model. Havelock’s translation model provides a framework for practice change. From personal experience, the idea of change is often greeted with resistance due to the challenges that accompany it. It is easier to remain glued to our conservative norm than embrace innovative approaches.

Havelock improved on Lewin’s change model and created a systematic process for the implementation of innovation in the work culture stating that change encompasses a series of cyclical actions that are repeated as progress is being realized, and added that the agent of change must be alert and attentive towards the steps of the process (White & Dudley-Brown, 2012). Havelock’s theory lends us a simple six step sequential strategy that guides the team into embracing an innovation. The steps are as follows:

1. The establishment of a relationship with the interprofessional team and stakeholders

2. The establishment of a diagnosis related to the need for change

3. Acquisition of the vital resources

4. Selecting of the applicable and suitable strategy

5. Acceptance and adaptation of the selected solution

6. Providing guidance towards self-renewal or the power to change

In reiterating the points mentioned above, the initial approach is the establishment of a relationship because when relationships are positive, it is easier to effect change to an environment. Havelock’s strategy permits the inclusion of all representatives as members of the change project. The representatives are involved in the planning of the innovation.

In the 2nd stage which is establishing a diagnosis regarding the need for change, the agent for change which is the DNP scholar would have to grant opportunity to the rest of the team to brainstorm according to their expertise with the practice problem. The issue of managing the effects of the opioid overdose dilemma will be discussed weekly, then biweekly and then monthly.

In the 3rd stage which has to do with the acquisition of the vital resources, members of the interdisciplinary collaborative team are delegated to come up with appropriate solutions based on the evidence presented from research and translation science. Results from health resources and search engines such as Medline, PubMed, CINAHL will be examined for best evidence-based practice guidelines. These will be used for the gleaning and acquiring of related information.

The 4th stage is the selection of the relevant and suitable strategy. It is after the resource information have been presented that the team would conduct a review of the presentation, detect likely options, meanwhile also stating the consequences for the chosen actions. A series of possible solutions should be designed, such as educational approaches that emphasize patient centered focus, and evidence-based practice guideline conclusions that would lead to the desired innovation.  When this meeting comes to an end, there should exist a selection of possible strategies that would be reviewed and critiqued by all members of the team.

The 5th stage in Havelove’s Change Theory which is acceptance and adaptation of the selected solution is marked with addressing of the practicability or feasibility for the selected solution. The DNP scholar takes charge as facilitator in reviewing the possible potential advantages or remunerations, applicability, and adoptability of each possible strategy.

The 6th stage which is the provision of guidance towards self-renewal or the power to change is critical since it leads to the enablement and incorporation of the desired innovation.

What is the value of an interprofessional team to address this practice problem?

The fundamental features of interprofessional collaboration involves a shared common objective or goal, efficient communication, interpersonal and professional expertise, and liability (Hamric, Hanson, Tracy & O’Grady, 2014).

But there are challenging aspects that threaten to inhibit collaboration effectiveness and these may include the absence of role clarification, lack of availability of team members, limited time, miscalculations in terms of scope of practice, communication errors, hierarchy disparities, mistrust, and clashing viewpoints (Lancaster, Kolakowsky-Hayner, Kovacich, & Greer-Williams, 2015). 

Irrespective of the barriers and obstacles, the concept of interprofessional collaboration is invaluable for preventing misinterpretations that can result in decreased patient satisfaction, oversights, lapses in treatment plans, and adverse clinical outcomes (Howard, Jacobson, & Kripalani, 2013).

Interprofessional collaboration offers an overabundance of effective teamwork benefits and one of such is the enhancement of consumer safety and efficiency regarding care (Weller, Boyd, & Cumin, 2014). When the collaborative team approaches innovation from an evidenced-based teamwork method, this is capable of assisting the members to express a plethora of varying perspectives resulting in the optimization of collaboration and communication.  

What strategies can you implement to inspire others to embrace change?

When change is necessary, we need colleagues to adopt the change; we need for them to do things differently. But inspiring others to embrace change is difficult and people often pose a resistance because it is easier to remain with the familiar and just follow the status quo. But some simple steps that can help in the implementation to inspire others to embrace change include being in the habit to always keep colleagues in the loop and informed on the need for innovation, inspiring them about the benefits and potential that the change offers, educating them about the improved conditions outlook, as well as making it a priority to involve them in creating the desired change.

I NEED A COMMENT FOR THIS POST WITH AT LEAST TWO-THREE  PARAGRAPH AND TWO SOURCES NO LATER THAN FIVE YEARS

 

Assignment:

Summary

Briefly summarize your project: How was the assessment completed? Who was your target audience and how many were in the audience? What was your topic? How did you determine what your topic should be (justification)? When and where did you present the community education project? Who gave you permission to present at the location, was the permission form completed? How did you advertise your presentation? What educational materials did you use or provide to the audience?

Evaluation

Explain how you would evaluate whether the efforts to improve the health concern were effective. Include in your explanation the tools you might use to do this evaluation. Also, critically appraise your performance of the activity/project for this population. How did the population respond? What aspects were you most satisfied/least satisfied with? What went well (at least 3 things)? What changes would you make in the future (at least 2 things)? 

Conclusion

For nurses, reflection is integral to higher-level thinking. You should be able to critically analyze scenarios and possible outcomes as opposed to simply asking the right questions. Acute perception of the entire situation will be obtained because you are open to dealing with the contradictions that may challenge your initial bias. Reflect on how your perspective of the community’s health and the national, state, and local efforts toward a healthier population has changed as a result of your fieldwork. Discuss the health of the target community population compared to national, state, local health findings. Discuss how the interventions used would impact at the local, state, and national level (include information on your chosen Healthy People 2020 goals). Finally, what impact did your project have on your target population?
