• Please view this document before posting: Discussion Board Guidelines and Examples [Word Document]

The goal of this discussion is to look at goals and milestones as well as the process of breaking big projects into achievable steps. Consider a recent project that you worked on either as a job task or as a volunteer in an organization. Post the goal and a brief description of the project. Outline the steps used to complete this project. Note any failures or successes that were part of the overall process.
Optional: In place of a written text posting, develop and upload a PowerPoint, Youtube, or other media presentation. This presentation should demonstrate how a big project was broken down into achievable steps. A PowerPoint presentation would include 6-10 slides including a title slide and a reference slide. Pictures may also be added. An audio-visual media presentation would be 3-5 minutes in length.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Crisis Situation

1. In acute care, a charge nurse is assigned to oversee a unit, and a nursing supervisor oversees the nursing role across a facility. All work together to control the flow of patients in and out of the unit and facility, make staffing assignments, and assist with problems and crises.

Consider this situation: A nurse is dealing with a crisis for one patient and misses a second patient crisis–a young woman who died from a postoperative hemorrhage. In this tragic situation, competing crisis events on the unit prevented a nurse from adequately monitoring other assigned patients on the unit.
The charge nurse and nursing supervisor stated in the Board of Nursing’s investigation of the event that they depended on the individual nurse to alert them if help was needed.
Question: Discuss systems-based solutions that could have prevented this event.

2. See the attached HCAPHS survey.  Review the survey questions and answer the following:

• List three questions that are solely influenced by the quality of nursing care.
• List three questions that are collaboratively influenced by the quality of nursing care?
• Based on your observations in clinicals, what are some systems-based issues that have an impact on the quality of nursing care measured by the HCAPHS survey?
