CSUN Electronic Medical Records & Hospital Acquired Infections Questions

 

I’m working on a nursing multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.

1) Reflect on Miller and colleagues’ research on new graduate preparedness in working with electronic medical records (EMR). What challenges and benefits do you anticipate, or have you experienced, when interfacing with the EMR? What strategies can you implement to ensure that you have a smooth transition in your documentation while using the EMR?

Article to be used: Miller, L., Stimely, M., Matheny, P., Pope, M., McAtee, R., & Miller, K. (2014).

  • Respond in one well-developed paragraph.
  • Cite Miller and colleagues’ research/references in proper APA Style

2)

A patient is ready for discharge when she spikes a fever of 101.3°F. A call to the physician results in an order for IV antibiotics to be administered every 12 hours for 48 hours. The patient’s family arrives to take her home, and they discover that she now has an IV and will not be discharged for 2 days. They ask, “What happened? Did our mother catch something in the hospital? We thought this is a place of healing.” How will you respond? Your response may have legal implications.

In one well-developed paragraphs (12-point font):

  • Describe one strategy you will incorporate in your practice to ensure that you are providing evidence-based care in the prevention of HAIs.
  • Cite your references in proper APA Style.
