1. EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE PROJECT– 

The leadership project is an activity designed to assist students in applying concepts, theories, and principles learned in NUR4827C Leadership in Nursing. You should develop this project in conjunction with your professor This will be in response to an identified need based on your own clinical practice.  Please do not use staffing, patient acuity, or any issues such as these for your project. These issues can not be changed by a staff nurse; it is out of scope of your practice.

Based on the AACN’ Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Nursing, 2009), the student will identify a quality care or patient safety issue that exists in their clinical setting and create a proposal with goals, objectives, and strategies to address the issue.  This project will integrate and demonstrate leadership and/ or management qualities which include:

• identification of the problem, data collection, research review and interprofessional communication.
• Included are elements of budgeting, staffing, staff and patient satisfaction, and measurable elements that can be evaluated. 
• The project will require collaboration with quality councils, finance, nursing and other departments. 
• The proposed project may be presented to the leadership of the facility. 
• Course faculty will guide the students in completion of this assignment.  Your implementation and measurement strategies must be developed from evidence-based literature and be presented in correct APA format.

PROPOSAL – 100 POINTS 

The project will first be  written in the format of a proposal paper and submitted to your professor for approval. It must be approved by your professor. The proposal should include the following:

• Clear Definition of the Leadership or Management Problem. (Note- you may not use a previous topic from another course – See academic Integrity policy of FSW)
• How the need was identified and the significance for nursing practice.
• Description of the stakeholders, financial considerations, regulatory/ legal components, resources potentially needed to implement the project.
• Specific, Measurable, and realistic Goals of the Project

1. At least 3 References/evidence-based research related to the problem. (Include title page and reference page). All references must be no older than the past 3-5 years.
2. NOTE IN RUBRIC- 5 REFERENCES OF SPECIFIED QUALITY ARE REQUIRED FOR FULL POINTS IN FINAL PAPER. 

• APA 7th edition formatting required.

 

Please, below you will find all information regarding Research paper #1. A case study with questions that will guide your paper as well as general directions, grading criteria & grading rubric.

I attached the case study with the questions and instructions/rubric for the research paper.  

  

Maria is 15 years old and 74 pounds overweight. Her father is an uber driver who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Her mother works for a cleaning company. She is overweight with lipid disorder (high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides). She is taking two antihypertensive medications at present time. At a recent health science fair at Maria’s school, a student-led screening clinic documented Maria’s blood pressure at 141/92 mm Hg. The family immigrated from Nicaragua 3 years ago and they do not have health insurance. 

During health science fair, the following data was recorded: 56% of the students with BMI 25.0 to <30 and 18% of the students with BMI 30.0 or higher.

Consider yourself a community health nurse. 

1. Is obesity a major health issue in the United States? 

2. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NCHS, CDC; BRFSS, 2012), how is obesity defined?

3. What is your role as a community nurse? 

4. What risk factors should be explored for Maria’s family for cardiovascular disease? Mention social determinants of health in this case. Incorporate the concepts of health promotion and risk reduction. 

5. Would you apply any of the behavioral change models to address health promotion and risk reduction in this case (theoretical frameworks of behavioral change / models discussed on Chapter 5 of textbook). Describe your selection. 

6. Public health nurses use statistics to demonstrate the need for obesity program development and community interventions. According to the most recent CDC data: What data were identified about obesity in children and adults? 

7. Is there a necessity of planning a community nursing intervention? How will you do that? Will you work alone or in collaboration / teamwork? Will you look for funding? How? 

8. If you decide to do a community intervention. How would you evaluate the community-level intervention(s)? 

9. Will you use social marketing to change health behaviors or beliefs, social or cultural norms, or community standards to improve health or benefit society. Which resources will you use?

10. Mention research studies that support any of the above (1 through 9) (mention at least 3 research studies in the paper).

Use current topic from week 5. Essay. 

Requirements

The FierceEMR and FierceHealthIT current topics from the Week 5 assignment will be summarized in 8-10 narrated slides for this Week 7 assignment.  Students will summarize the rationale for choosing the topic, how it will impact practice in a positive and negative manner, including pros and cons. Include discussion of how informatics skills and knowledge were applied in the process relevance to developing the assignment. In the conclusion, provide recommendations for the future.

2. You should have at least 8-10 slides. It is important to note that if you could not give your presentation and someone would have to stand in for you, he or she would need to know what you were going to say. Use the speaker-notes section so that someone may step in for you and not miss a beat.

3. Maintain the 6x6x6 rule for a professional PowerPoint presentation. No more than 6 lines per slide, 6 words per line, and 6 slides without a graphic.

Module 8: Assignment N493

Assignment:

presentation of between 7 and 9 minutes that is a reflection of the project based on a full representation of all three parts above. Create a PowerPoint presentation and record your voice to the presentation

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? (Provide ID of yourself and action picture for proof.)

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?
