As leaders, we must be aware of the rapidly changing technological environment. Ethical standards should be at the forefront of the evaluation of these new emerging technologies. Why are ethical considerations and regulations important when evaluating emerging technological advances? How would you envision this impacting your new role as a doctoral-prepared nurse?

Consider your topic of interest and the purpose for exploring this topic.

My topic of interest is how to avoid unnecessary urinary catheter use and effectively implement safe catheter care with chlorhexidine gluconate wipes to prevent Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) in Long Term Acute Care patients. CAUTI has been a menace to the healthcare settings. Inappropriate and prolonged use of indwelling urinary catheter is a major risk factor for CAUTI, as the IUC poses a “daily bacteriuria risk of about 3-7 percent which rises to 25 percent in one week, and quadruple to 100 percent if the IUC stays inserted” (Gesmundo, 2016). Additionally, the financial burden for treating CAUTI is huge on the healthcare facilities compare to the cost of prevention. Treatment is “approximately $1000 and Medicare has declined to reimbursed hospital for the cost” (Hollenbeak and Schilling, 2018). Thus, preventing CAUTI should be the goal.

Nurses occupy an important position in the prevention of CAUTI, as “they deliver a huge part of daily catheter cares” (Gesmundo, 2016).  It is therefore essential that nurses are equipped with the necessary knowledge to critically assess patients, in all health care settings for therapeutic indications of IUC, and implement scientifically proven evidence-based catheter management care. This will change the current perception and culture of IUC, thereby enhancing safe catheter use and care.

What outcomes would you like to see emerge from this?

From this study, it would be expected that nurses have increased understanding of CDC recommendation and guidelines for appropriate use of an indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) by critically assessing patients for the therapeutic indication for IUC, perform efficient catheter care with CHG wipes during insertion and after, as well as ensure timely discontinuation of use to prevents CAUTI.

How would you measure these outcomes?

Aiken et. al (2016) submitted that outcomes can be measured using “patient mortality, patient ratings of care, care quality, patient safety, adverse events, and nurse burnout and job dissatisfaction”. For my study, the incidence of CAUTI after hospital admission, mortality, and morbidity due to CAUTI would be used in measuring the outcomes. Center of Diseases Control and Prevention (2020) submits that “15-25% of the hospitalized patient gets a urinary catheter inserted during their hospital stay and approximately 75% of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) acquired in the hospital is due to a urinary catheter”. Also, “more than 560,000 patients develop CAUTI each year, leading to extended hospital stays increased health care costs, patient morbidity, and mortality” (American Nurse Association, n.d). While measuring the outcomes, patients will be closely monitored, rate/prevalence of CAUTI, and morbidity and mortality associated with CAUTI  documented. Nurses must ensure optimal care for hospitalized patients by preventing CAUTI thereby meeting the “US Department of Health and Human Services’ goals of reducing healthcare-associated infections” (Krein, Kowalski, Harrod, Forman, and Saint, 2013).

There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the Topic Materials, as needed, for assistance in with creating Excel formulas.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Imagine you work for a successful company and have been asked to be a guest speaker for an entry-level organizational behavior course at a local college. The goal of your presentation is to help the college students gain a basic understanding of organizational behavior and be able to speak to its importance in an organization. 

Create a 350- to 700-word handout, such as a chart or a fact sheet, you can give to students during your presentation. Address the following in your handout:  

• Define organizational behavior.  
• Describe how different components of organizational behavior are used within an organization.  
• Identify how the use of organizational behavior can lead to the success and failure of an organization. 

Cite any reputable references. Reputable references include trade or industry publications; government or agency websites; scholarly works; your textbook, Organizational Behavior in Health Care (4th ed.); or other sources of similar quality. 

Format your references according to APA guidelines.
