    Your intervention and implementation plan should be carried out in an interprofessional context, aligned to your topic, and based on the work you did in the first assessment. You should find collaborators as soon as possible so you can solicit their feedback about intervention and implementation plans to inform your approach.
    Instructions
    Having identified a health problem relevant to your current or future nursing practice and reviewed the literature to support nursing standards, decision making, and improvement strategies, you should now plan an intervention to address the chosen health problem based on the research you conducted.
    Construct a plausible plan that leverages the best practices and research collected to date as well as additional research into similar projects that you find in the literature. Be sure to frame your plan within the context of the health care setting in which you are completing your practicum hours. Incorporate relevant site-specific processes and policies into your implementation plan.

you will share your experience (see below for experience) and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.

350 word discussion. At least 2 References ( I have attached some to utilize) within last 5 years and cited in discussion. Apa format

-Review the Resources (I attached articles) and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan. 

-This is the experience: Treatment is limited for patient with stage 4 cancer and they are considering going on hospice to have better quality life. (you can include any details you would like)

-Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/. 

Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic. Type in ‘hospice’

Try to use this link to take you right to the hospice link on that site

The discussion:

-Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. 

-Then, explain how including patient preferences and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. 

-Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.-you have to reference and use the decision aid site listed above.
