Peer answer

  With an aging population and healthcare reform, palliative care is an essential component of the work of nurse practitioners. Inpatient and community-based palliative care programs are helping health systems, ACOs, physician practices, and skilled nursing facilities provide care that enhances patient outcomes, decreases hospitalizations, and improves patient satisfaction (Johnson & Gray, 2013).

           Palliative and end-of-life care programs help improve care quality throughout the course of a patient’s illness. Patients that utilize palliative and end-of-life care tend to be more satisfied with their overall care and communication with providers, and they are less likely to end up in intensive care units and emergency departments (Johnson & Gray, 2013).

           Collaboration is taking action to reach a common goal (Fawcett, 2010). It commits two or more persons or organizations to achieve a common goal through engagement, partnerships, and advocacy. For example, at the University of Miami Health, the nurses in my unit collaborated with the Florida Department of Health and other local agencies to plan a program for children experiencing developmental problems. Processes such as problem setting, direction setting, and structuring were addressed as some of the communication strategies used to accomplish the project’s goals.

Cases of institutional crime, insecurity, and radicalization have intensified in many private and public education and research Centers. However, the improvement of the intelligence and investigation methods has made it possible to countercheck the spread of crime and radicalization in educational institutions (Decker, 2016). The panic and confusion identified in the case study can be solved by applying the SARA model. Hence, identifying the SARA model’s significant steps is one of the core strategies that can improve the documentation of the risk and the required solutions.  

Scanning the problem is the primary step of the SARA model. Hence, the stage plays a paramount role in assessing the nature and the impacts of the threat (Burton & McGregor2018). Besides, scanning the problem makes it possible to formulate and identify and core stakeholders required to solve the existing panic situation. According to Burton and McGregor (2018), an assessment of the existing challenge makes it possible to collect the relevant data, information, and statistics required to draft a solution. Hence, it is paramount for the school administration, the librarians, and other core witnesses to assess the situation.

Finally, the school can use the SARA model to solve the challenge by using the assessment results to implement anti-crime strategies require to tackle the threat. In this case, some of the most effective solutions include interrogating the suspects, gathering intelligence from the witnesses, or involving law enforcement agencies (Zaman & Mohammadi, 2018). Besides, the school administration and other parties need to carry out an intensive assessment of the implemented solutions to ascertain their ability to solve and prevent the panic situation’s re-occurrence.
