Next, consider the following case study of Rosie and her family, explore the emotion in you. In each quadrant, write down the relevant aspects of each perspective. Your word count for this assessment is 500 words. Whilst APA referencing is not required for the purpose of this assessment as this work is based on your own personal knowledge you are required to submit a Bibliography which is not included in your word count. 

Case Study

Rosie is a 28-year-old single mother to Sam, her 6-year-old son. Sam was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma which is a form of cancer that is made up of cells that are found in nerve tissues of the body at the age of 4 and has been receiving a variety of known treatment options throughout this time inclusive of Chemotherapy which Sam is currently undergoing. Rosie has no current contact with any of her family members due to her traumatic childhood.

This has been a long journey for their family and Rosie has consistently struggled with watching Sam decline health wise throughout treatment and constantly analyses Sam’s quality of life. Sam cannot play sport of any kind, at times due to his level of unwellness he cannot hold a book at bedtime, he has not commenced school due to his treatment therefore has minimal friends to support him throughout this time period. Sam became extremely unwell during his last round of treatment which again provoked Rosie to assess how this medical intervention was helping her son.

Following Sam’s last round of treatment, scans took place which concluded the Neuroblastoma had again spread throughout Sam’s body however Doctors were confident that Sam would be eligible for a new drug trial. Following Rosie’s assessment of Sam who is undernourished and unwell from the impact of chemotherapy she has declined any further treatment for Sam and has requested support to prepare for Sam’s death with the inclusion of the Palliative care team.

 

Create a professional presentation of your evidence-based intervention and change proposal to be disseminated to an interprofessional audience of leaders and stakeholders.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guideline.

There are 2 parts to this assignment. Part 1 is template and Part 2 is the paper.

Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.

Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy.

Topic: Case Report: Application of Quality and Safety Concepts

In this assignment, learners are required to write a case report addressing the personal knowledge and skills gained in this course and potentially solving an identified practice problem.

General Guidelines:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments.

· This assignment requires the inclusion of at least three additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source.

· You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.  

Directions:

Construct a case report (2,500-3,000 words/approximately 10-12 pages) that includes a problem or situation consistent with a DNP area of practice.

1. Review the AHRQ and the IOM report (“To Err Is Human” and “Crossing the Quality Chasm”) to develop the case report.

2. Apply quality and/or safety concepts to describe the understanding of the problem or situation of focus.

3. Apply one or more quality and/or safety concepts to the recommended intervention or solution being proposed.

4. Develop the case report across the entire scenario from the identification of the clinical or health care problem through the proposal for an intervention, implementation, and evaluation using an appropriate research instrument.

5. Describe the evaluation of the selected research instrument in the case report.

6. Lastly, explain in full the tenets, rationale for selection (empirical evidence), and clear application using the language of quality and/or safety within the case report.

Case Report Requirements:

In addition, your case report must include the following:

1. Introduction with a problem statement.

2. Brief literature review.

3. Description of the case/situation/conditions explained from a theoretical perspective.

4. Discussion that includes a detailed explanation of the synthesized literature findings.

5. Summary of the case.

6. Proposed solutions to remedy gaps, inefficiencies, or other issues from a theoretical approach.

7. Identification of a data collection instrument to evaluate the proposed solution along with a description of how the instrument could be evaluated.

8. Conclusion.

You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting. For more information on parameters for practice immersion hours, please refer to the DNP resources in the DC Network.
