Nursing Theory NP 501

For many students enrolled in NR501, this is an initial course for nursing theory. So, let’s have a debate. Is nursing theory important to the nursing profession? In particular, is it important for nurse practitioners? Does theory inform nurse practitioner practice? If you believe that it is important, explain why it is useful. If you do not believe that it is useful, explain why nursing theory is not necessary to the profession.

3.  Understanding others’ roles provides insight into who can best perform a particular task and how it could be redesigned to be more efficient and effective. How would delegation have a positive effect on staffing?  

Delegation affects staffing positively because it increases productivity, effectiveness, and the overall performance of an organization. For instance, delegation enables managers to distribute responsibilities to employees who have the requisite expertise, knowledge, and specialized abilities, which guarantees that the task is carried out by people with the most necessary qualifications, producing superior results (Rubbab et al., 2023). It also enables equitable task distribution within the company, which helps promote a balanced workload by not overworking certain team members while underutilizing others by giving assignments to staff with the necessary skills.

Moreover, when employees work in an environment where tasks are effectively delegated, they get the opportunity for skill improvement and professional advancement. Delegations enable employees to learn and develop new abilities when given new duties, which boosts job satisfaction and motivation (Rubbab et al., 2023). Delegation also increases staff engagement and morale since it gives them a stronger feeling of ownership and pride in their work when they are given more freedom and responsibility, which increases their job satisfaction and loyalty to the company (Rubbab et al., 2023). Besides, when assigning tasks, it is important to communicate expectations, goals, and expected results clearly. Therefore, delegation of tasks encourages improved internal communication and guarantees that everyone is aware of their tasks and duties.

By delegating, managers are able to devote more of their attention to higher-level tasks like strategic planning, decision-making, and problem-solving. This can be especially useful for leaders who can make better use of their time by avoiding mundane duties (Colombo et al., 2021). Delegation also reduces risks by spreading them across the team members who participate in decision-making and task execution. This enables team members who experience challenges when executing different tasks to get assistance and prevent certain setbacks (Colombo et al., 2021).

In summary, delegation positively influences staffing because it maximizes resource allocation, fosters skill development, and raises employee engagement. It also improves the overall performance of an organization since it enables better use of personnel skills, which eventually leads to long-term success.

Writing

 

Provide an overview of each nurse theorist/and or nursing theory that you have chosen.

Be sure to discuss the basic philosophical and structural components of the theory, the classification of the theory, the purpose and intention of the theory, and whether the theory is based upon other theories or approaches (from other nursing scholars or from other disciplines). Identify what areas of nursing the theory has the most impact, nursing practice, nursing research, nursing education, or nursing administration. Also discuss the development of the theory/theoretical approach based upon the sociopolitical and cultural influences of the time and environment of its development, upon the roles in nursing that the theorist held, and the values and beliefs of the theorist.
Be sure to use appropriate APA citation and when responding to your peers, begin with addressing them personally and end your response posting with your name.

Guidelines for Weekly Discussion Postings/ Discussion Participation: The online discussions will provide opportunities to explore different topics, share what you are learning with your classmates, and gain clarity about the course content. Your discussion responses should demonstrate critical thinking skills and your responses should be thoughtful and promote respectful discourse with the other students in the class. The rules of common courtesy are to be followed (e.g., one voice speaks at a time, polite debate occurs, and all opinions are honored). In order for an online discussion assignment to be considered complete, the student must effectively and adequately cover the assigned topic, reference the course text and other sources with appropriate APA citations, meet the 400 word minimum, the responses to classmates must be developed in a manner that furthers the conversation and learning, the spelling, grammar, and writing must be appropriate, and the online discussion assignment must be submitted on time. Interactions should be thorough, thoughtful and facilitate the learning community’s growth. Discussions will be reviewed on a weekly basis. Contribution toward the course grade total will be based on the pattern of demonstrating these characteristics. Please remember, initial posts should be submitted by deadline. 

discussion week 2

As a psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner, it is essential for you to have a strong background in foundational neuroscience. In order to diagnose and treat patients, you must not only understand the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders but also how medications for these disorders impact the central nervous system. These concepts of foundational neuroscience can be challenging to understand. Therefore, this Discussion is designed to encourage you to think through these concepts, develop a rationale for your thinking, and deepen your understanding by interacting with your colleagues.

For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and reflect on the concepts of foundational neuroscience as they might apply to your role as the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in prescribing medications for patients. 

Post a response to each of the following:

  1. Explain the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents, including how partial and inverse agonist functionality may impact the efficacy of psychopharmacologic treatments.
  2. Compare and contrast the actions of g couple proteins and ion gated channels.
  3. Explain how the role of epigenetics may contribute to pharmacologic action.
  4. Explain how this information may impact the way you prescribe medications to patients. Include a specific example of a situation or case with a patient in which the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner must be aware of the medication’s action.
