• Identify   scientific evidence to help inform the treatment decision or   intervention to be implemented

/in /by

Each student will choose a PICO question on a clinical nursing topic of interest and develop a critical appraisal of the literature for application to nursing practice. The PICO question will first be approved by the professor; then 5-8 references will be submitted for review (a minimum of 5 must be peer reviewed research articles from professional nursing journals); followed by individual summaries and critiques of the references; then, submission of the final paper with Professor’s feedback incorporated into the final version. Each student will post a brief summary power point presentation of their findings on the assigned day and respond to classmate remarks. Detailed grading criteria will be provided for the presentation.

This 5-6 page paper must be completed in APA format (1” margins, double spaced, 12 font) including a cover page and reference page with a minimum of 5-8 references (not included in page number). No abstract is required.

Identify patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice. (PO 5)

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a specific patient that you identify. Your guide or handout should help this patient find and evaluate a reliable mobile health, or mHealth application (app) that is already developed. This may be related to the patient’s disease process or diagnosis, or may be an app that can help a patient maintain or improve good health, and prevent illness.

 

You will develop the guide using Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a versatile application that lets you design slideshows and handouts. For this assignment, you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide or handout that you may print and give to patients and families. You will be submitting this PowerPoint file for grading.

 

Course Outcomes

 

This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcomes.

 

CO 1: Describe patient-care technologies as appropriate to address the needs of a diverse patient population. (PO 1)

 

CO 5: Identify patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice. (PO 5)

 

Points

 

This assignment is worth a total of 175 points.

 

Due Date

 

The Patient Education Technology Guide to a Mobile Health Application PowerPoint assignment is due in Week 2. Submit your completed assignment. You may consult the Policies section in the Introduction & Resources module for details regarding late assignments. Late assignments will result in loss of points. Post questions about this assignment in the Course Q & A Forum.

 

Directions

 

Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create slides, which will be the basis of the guide or handout. You are required to cite your source(s) as it relates to your application slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is not a requirement for the assignment.

 

Title slide (first slide): Include a title slide with your name and the title of the presentation.

Scenario Slide (one slide): This slide should include a brief scenario, then identify a patient who is experiencing a specific disease process or diagnosis who would benefit from an already developed and reliable mHealth app. Or it could identify a person who is currently healthy and would like to maintain or improve health and prevent illness. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of the patient’s learning needs and readiness to learn. Be specific.

Example:

 

Scenario for Ms. Ellis

 

Jane Doe (your name here)

 

Jennifer Ellis, a 62-year-old African American woman, has been recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). She has been prescribed several medications she must take every day.

The nephrologist has stressed the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle to slow or stop the progression of CKD.

She is interested in ways in which she can better track her health and make healthier choices.

She is a high school graduate and iPhone user, mostly to send text messages to family and friends.

She is eager to learn how to use an app that can help her manage her CKD.

Prepare the following slides as if you are presenting them to the patient.

 

mHealth application slide (one to three slides): Identify a developed and reliable mHealth app that could benefit the patient. Describe the app, including the following.

Name

Purpose

Intended audience

Mobile device(s) upon which it will operate

Where to download or obtain it (include a working link if it is to be downloaded from a website)

Any other information you believe would be pertinent to this situation

Be sure to cite all sources you use.

Teaching slides (one to three slides): Prepare slides that contain important points about the app that you want to teach to the patient, such as how to use the app safely and effectively (including how to interpret and act on the information that is provided).

Evaluation slide (one to three slides): Describe how you would determine the success of the patient’s use of this app. For example, include ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching plan that are a good fit for the type of app or focus on specific ways that this app benefits the patient’s health and wellness.

References (last slide): List any references for sources that were used or cited in the presentation.

Writing and design: There should be no spelling or grammatical errors. Writing is concise and clear. Avoid words that the patient may not understand. Slides are visually appealing, incorporating graphics, photographs, colors, and themes.

 

Review the section on Academic Integrity Policy found in the RNBSN Policies. All work must be original (in your own words) unless properly cited.

 

Best Practices in Preparing PowerPoint Slideshows

 

Be creative but realistic.

Incorporate graphics, color, themes, or photographs to increase interest.

Make it easy to read with short bullet points and large font.

Review directions thoroughly.

Cite all sources within the slides with (author, year), as well as on the reference slide.

Proofread prior to final submission.

Check for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission.

Abide by the Chamberlain academic integrity policy.

Discussion: Unionization and the Nursing Profession

Unionization is a highly charged topic. No matter what your beliefs or thoughts are on the subject, one thing is clear—nurse managers have a significant responsibility to promote the goals of their organizations while appreciating the labor concerns that may prompt employees to join unions. Beyond that, it is helpful to reflect on the core values of nursing and consider the extent to which they align with unionization.

To Prepare

  • Review the information in the Learning Resources. Conduct additional research on unionization in health care.
  • Consider the professional basis of nursing and the presence of unions in health care. Does unionization conflict with a professional nursing orientation?
  • Reflect on the experiences you have had working in unionized settings, or consider what would be required of you in such a setting if you do not have that experience.
  • Consider how you would address transitioning from being a member of a collective bargaining unit to being a manager who cannot be a member of a collective bargaining unit. How you might prepare to make this sort of transition?
By Day 3

Post your position on whether unionization aligns with or conflicts with a professional nursing orientation and what this may mean for the role as a nurse manager. Share your experiences working in a unionized setting or describe what might be required of you when transitioning from one circumstance to another.
