Nursing Case study and pamphlet due 10/30/2020 

Case study

A few weeks ago you were hired as Director of Patient Education for a regional medical center

located in the Midwest. The medical center includes three community hospitals ranging from 175 to

321 beds, four outpatient clinics, and five centers of excellence. The five centers of excellence are

located at two of the hospitals and focus on heart disease, cancer care, care of the aging,

neuromuscular disorders, and women’s health.

In your position you are responsible for coordinating patient education across the medical

center, including all programs and print materials. Your staff includes three BSN-prepared nurses,

one located at each of the hospitals. As one of your initial steps in this new position, you have

completed an assessment of the current educational offerings and staff satisfaction with the quality

of the current programs. One area of need stands out: The professional staff report that a growing

number of patients have been joining online social networking sites. One staff member said, “I think

they are all helping each other get online.” These patients are now raising new and sometimes

difficult questions about treatment options. None of the staff has explored any of the online sites,

and they are afraid to join for fear that they could become involved in some sort of violation of the

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Discussion Questions

1. 400 words. Describe how you would develop a staff education program and create an outline of key points that you would include.

2. 200 words Develop a patient handout that the staff can use to educate patients on the effective use of

online social media materials. Within the pamphlet speak on key information regarding the program and the benefits of various form of social media in health promotion and disease prevention. Include pictures in the pamphlet to appeal to your customers. 

A template is provided as an attachment. 

Must use the sample template for your soap note,

Copy paste from websites or textbooks will not be accepted or tolerated. Please see College Handbook with reference to Academic Misconduct Statement.

The use of tempates is ok with regards of Turn it in, but the Patient History, CC, HPI, The Assessment and Plan should be of your own work and individualized to your made up patient. 

When selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for a client, you must consider the unique needs and characteristics of that particular client. The same is true when selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for groups. Not every approach is appropriate for every group, and the group’s unique needs and characteristics must be considered. For this Assignment, you examine psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction. 

In a 3-page paper, address the following:

• Identify the psychotherapeutic approach that the group facilitator is using and explain why she might be using this approach.
• Determine whether or not you would use the same psychotherapeutic approach if you were the counselor facilitating this group and justify your decision.
• Identify an alternative approach to group therapy for addiction and explain why it is an appropriate option.
• Support your position with evidence-based literature.

PLs use this references with any additional one of ur choice

Nurses can lead their role as nurse manger and nurse advocate in policy review. They can find that they are assets in the policy process. Nurses are the backbone of the hospital hence they have more authority to create, modify or remove polices. “Nurses are essential to the health care industry and maintaining quality nursing care is a primary concern of today’s health care managers” (Nejati, Shepley & Rodiek, 2016).  Challenges for them are created by other professionals or committee teams of the hospital. Sometimes the other professional has the leading role in policy review. If the nurse dose not have the leading role their suggestions maybe discounted, and they lose the ability to finalize decisions. Both of which are challenges.

To overcome these challenges, nurses must struggle to have a definitive position in the committee. To make the decision with a stronger foundation, the nurse may conduct periodic meetings among the committee and discuss the chances and opportunities available.  “…policy initiatives and professional organization position statements that hospital and nursing administrators should be familiar with to respond effectively to public and policy-maker concerns…” (Monroe, Vandoren, Smith, Cole & Kenaga, 2011).  It is important to be aware of opportunities and limitations. Also, they should be aware of any legal updates. By getting updated, they know their chances. They can lift their professional standards. Conferences, seminars, and classes are the strategies that could be used as a mode of communication to address the existence of opportunities.

Example:

Policy review for recruitment of staff and managing the shift duties for nurses. “The shortage of nurses is not necessarily a shortage of individuals with nursing qualifications but also includes complex issues, such as lack of well-educated nurses, shortage of nurses willing to work, and geographical imbalances of nurses” (Taewha, Kyeong, Yu, Sung-Hyun & Eun-Young, 2014).  In these situations, nurses have more responsibility in dealing with the policy. Nurses know how and where to recruit other nurses and the areas to appoint them. Nurses are the ones knowledgeable about the problems of managing shift duties, hence should take the lead role in policy review.
