Discuss the correlation between nursing education and positive patient outcomes. Include current research that links patient safety outcomes to advanced degrees in nursing. Based on some real-life experiences, explain whether you agree or disagree with this research. 

  

Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years.

 1. Select one of the four concepts for your assignment: trust, hope, suffering, or uncertainty.

2. Determine the aim or purpose of your analysis; what do you want to accomplish by conducting this concept analysis? Answer the questions, “Why am I doing this?” and “Why is this relevant to nursing knowledge and nursing science?” 

3. Conduct your literature review by identifying all uses of the term that you can discover. Answer, “What are the known conceptualizations?”

4. Locate and use a minimum of 3 dictionary definitions, 1 thesaurus entry, and 5 scholarly references from the nursing literature (you may use non-nursing literature, if necessary). Combined, these references will be the basis for identifying and defining attributes of your selected concept. 

5. Determine the critical or defining attributes of the concept by identifying what each instance or use of the term has in common with the other uses. The more scholarly references you locate and use, the easier it is to determine critical attributes of a concept. 

6. Create 4 cases using the critical attributes: [Note that you will describe one of the following cases “ 

A. Construct a model case or a real-life scenario that uses the concept and includes all critical attributes of the concept. Explain how you use each critical attribute. This case should be an accurate representation or model of your concept.

B. Construct a contrary case or one that is opposite of the concept. Support the claims you make by explaining how and why the contrary case does not contain any of the critical attributes of your concept.

C. Construct a borderline case or one that is related to the concept but is not actually an example of the concept. Support the claims you make by explaining how and why the borderline case differs from the model and contrary cases (i.e., does not contain all of the critical attributes of your concept, etc.)

D. Construct an invented case or fictitious scenario that uses the concept and includes all of the critical attributes. Explain how you use each of the critical attributes.

7 Identify related concepts; provide a list of terms that are related to or similar to the concept.

8 Identify an inaccurate use of the concept. Provide an example of how the concept is used in a way that is improper or incorrect.

9 Identify concept antecedents and consequences. This should include a description of (1) concepts or traits that precede (antecedent) the existence of the concept and (2) concepts or traits that follow (consequence) the existence of the concept. An antecedent cannot be one of the attributes, but a consequence may be.

Please read the article, Hoping for a Good Death. (Need to click on link to NY Times).In this article, Elizabeth Reis states: The biggest lesson I have learned is that every family should not only discuss end-of-life wishes but should act on them by filling out an advance directive. If my father had completed one, his end might have played out differently.

What did she mean by this? How might the end have played out differently? What can be done to help increase the number of people with advance directives? Advance directives DO make a difference!

Discussion Questions: 

QD1. A couple presents to the OB-GYN office you work at visibly agitated. After trying to have a baby for years, they just suffered their fifth miscarriage after the 10th week of gestation.

The wife would like to adopt, but the husband feels strongly that they should continue to try for another baby.

3. How would you as the provider remain impartial in allowing the couple to decide what is best for them?

QD2. Suppose you are going to conduct a study utilizing Quantitative Research Design: which type of research would you use, and which method would you utilize to collect data? 

Administer a safety survey (e.g., the Injury Prevention Program [TIPP] from the American Academy of Pediatrics, or develop your own) to assess the home environment of a 6-month-old and a 5-year-old.

1.  Develop a plan of education and anticipatory guidance for the family. 2. How would you apply this information to a larger population?
