Reflect on a patient who presented with cardiovascular or genetic disorders (use cardiac murmur) during your practicum experience. Describe your experience in assessing and managing the patient and his or her family. Include details of your ″aha″ moment in identifying the patient′s disorder. Then, explain how the experience connected your classroom studies to the real-world clinical setting. Use peer-review articles no greater than 5 years old Pediatric patients only up to 18 year old Example attached.

Create a 1-2 page introduction section of the project in which you provide an overview of how psychiatry technology has been used to improve medical care . Make sure to cover the following:

• Introduce the topic selected and define new concepts for your reader.
• Why this is important to you personally and to the industry?
• What will be discussed in the project?
• Using APA formatting, cite at least three different resources related to the topic to support your introduction.

Qualitative Annotated Bibliography

For this assignment you will continue to review current research from South’s Online Library and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue’s OWL: Purdue Online Writing Lab

A total of two annotated bibliographies are to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a qualitative methodology (review our reading assignments). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable.

Each annotation must address the following critical elements:

• Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
• Brief description of the research conducted
• Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
• Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
• Conclusions or observations reached by the author
• Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role specialization.

Rachel comes from a family with a history of breast cancer on her mother’s side. Rachel’s mother died of breast cancer when she was very young. Rachel has two sisters, Lisa and Kristin. Rachel has remained close to Lisa, but she no longer has a relationship with Kristin. At a routine checkup, Rachel is told about the availability of genetic testing for identifying a predisposition to breast cancer. Her doctor recommends the test to Rachel given her family history. Rachel has the genetic testing done and finds that she has a mutated breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) gene. Her doctor tells her she is at high risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. Rachel’s doctor suggests she ask her sisters to be tested also, so they can take the proper preventative measures. Rachel feels comfortable sharing this information with Lisa, but she has not spoken to Kristin in many years. Rachel tells her doctor that she is not in contact with Kristin and will not make an effort to tell her about BRCA1 and genetic testing. Rachel’s doctor feels confident that she can locate Kristin but worries about breaching patient confidentiality if she goes against Rachel’s wishes.

If you were Rachel’s healthcare provider, what would you do? Provide a rationale for your response. Include the pathological processes associated with breast cancer. What role does the BRCA1 gene contribute to managing the patient’s care? Describe and explain the role of the BRCA1 and breast cancer 2, early onset (BRCA2) gene in contribution as a risk factor for breast cancer. Analyze the risk factors for breast cancer and possible interventions to preventive health management for women and men.

Nurses rely on gathered information, statistics, and trends to help them in their day to day operations. Nurse managers rely on what is trending when it comes to Performance Improvement. The trending information helps the nurse manager pinpoint where the trouble lies and able to go to the source of the problem and educate the staff and fix the problem. For example, during chart audits, it has come to the attention of the auditor that the smoking cessation education check box has been missed in about 50% of the charts that were checked. This data that was collected was entered into a computer program to break down and pinpoint what area of the hospital it was coming from or from whom. This information was given to the nurse manager to share with the staff from which this trend had occurred. Education was able to be given to correct this problem. Information and information processing are central to the healthcare worker. A healthcare professional is also known as a knowledge worker because he or she deals with and processes information on a daily basis to make it meaningful and inform his or her practice (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 21). Nurses have to have a knowledge base in order to do the basics of nursing. Most of the knowledge that a nurse will further acquire is on the job. Such as the scenario given above, nurses have to be trained in the policy and procedures of their facility. Gathering information to be able to educate nurses on what is missing in there charting or other paperwork that is required of them is helpful to create proficient nurses.

Healthcare informatics is defined as “the integration of healthcare sciences, computer sciences, information science, and cognitive science to assist management of healthcare information (Sweeney, 2017). By gathering the data, we were able to break it down and create a bar graph of each unit and how many unchecked boxes for the smoking education that did not get done correctly. We could see if any one nurse was trending and gave direction on how to proceed with the educating of the staff. This information came from our PI department to the nurse managers then down to the staff for correcting. According to N. L. Nagle et al., knowledge innovation and generation provides guidance and support to others (nurses, patients) in the application and use of emerging knowledge… (Nagle, Junger, & Bloomberg, 2017, p. 219).
