Evidenced-based practice in healthcare utilizes the current best and most relevant research, clinical experience, and patient/family valued preferences to deliver healthcare that not only improves patient experiences, but also provides better quality care for the patient and empowers clinicians, which leads to increased job satisfaction (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023). While research clearly shows the benefits of evidence-based practice, there are a multitude of barriers that stand in the way of it becoming the standard of care such as: the lack of knowledge pertaining to evidence-based practice, lack of belief that this will result in more positive outcomes, overwhelming patient loads, and resistance to change just to name a few. Overcoming these barriers is necessary to move from practices based on outdated research in order to be able to provide better and safer healthcare.

Utilizing evidenced-based practice within the scope of my nursing license promotes lifelong learning and continuously improved nursing practice. My hospital has recently implemented bedside shift report for nurses, which has been shown to improve patient satisfaction and safety. Bedside shift report allows me to visualize both the patient and the surroundings in addition to communicating the plan of care to the patient. Initially, there was much resistance to changing the process of our shift report. Some nurses reported overwhelming patient loads (e.g. “I have to give report to 4 different nurses”) as a reason for which they struggled to do bedside report. After much encouragement from peers and leaders, the transition to bedside shift report has improved nursing accountability and teamwork. Visualizing all of my patients first thing in the morning allows me to ensure accuracy of the report and prioritize care.

Presidential Agendas

When the presidents come into office several health issues are a priority to them. Likewise, when deciding on the topic of discussion many issues were considered. However, the selected topic is on mental health which has been an issue of concern and has been regarded as a priority health issue among presidents. Mental health is a concern that is attributed to many other factors, which include health factors like the coronavirus pandemic, and economic, social, and contextual factors. There have been significant milestones in mental health treatment among different administrations.

One of the significant progress made in mental health was made during the reign of President Obama. During his reign, Obama expanded mental health care by introducing health coverage under the Affordable Care Act. The ACA was responsible for eliminating the discrimination that existed when offering care to patients with mental health and substance abuse problems. Additionally, the president embarked on building health and behavioral care centers by investing millions of dollars from ACA (National Archives n.d). The services emphasized the importance of promoting mental health access among the police and other personnel involved in the protection of the citizens and their families.

President Trump was not left behind in making positive changes in the provision of mental health care among the citizens. However, Trump's strategy was marred with controversy regarding the eradication of ACA and Medicaid, which reduced the insurance coverage among those who used that program to access mental health services (Courtemanche et al., 2020). This means such strategies hurt low-income earners by denying them to access crucial mental health services. However, the president further implemented an executive order that saw increased access to mental health services among those with the condition, especially during the pandemic. Such services were aimed at prevention of related suicide, reduction of substance use, and improvement of overall mental health. However, the adoption of COVID-19 management measures such as lockdowns, unemployment, and isolation of people from others increased stress and mental health instances among the people.

These two presidents had excellent strategies for addressing the mental health menace that affected the American population. These strategies have been needed for a long time though they have not been put into practice until recently. However, I would focus on improving mental health training among caregivers as a strategy for ensuring everyone has access to mental health services including healthcare providers. It is prudent to ensure even healthcare providers have access to care because they equally share the experiences of dealing with hopeless patients that could potentially affect their emotional and psychological well-being. Availing such services could help caregivers deal with related trauma whenever it occurs.

The Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretative Statements was developed to guide nurses in ethical decision making and analysis.  

Nurses are expected to adhere to and embrace the standards of these provisions which include our values, morals, and ideals of the nursing profession (ANA, 2015).

This Code of Ethics outlines the very essence of what it means to be a nurse.

This module will introduce you to the nine provisions outlined in the Code of Ethics for Nurses.

TOPIC: Health Equity 

  

The literature review is key to any research study or article development. It is important to review the literature within your own discipline, but also other disciplines which may confront similar issues or have related concerns. For example, practice issues in other health related fields often correspond to those confronted in nursing. Nursing education concerns may also be found in academic research within other disciplines outside of the health care field.

  • What is the purpose of conducting an organized literature review?
  • How will you approach this aspect of your research?
  • What literature other than nursing literature do you feel may offer useful information?
  • How might you incorporate these ideas into your proposal?
  • Provide an example of a piece of literature that supports your topic and provide a brief summary of the article.

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

 All posts should be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource, ideally within the last 5 years. Journals and websites must be cited appropriately. Citations and references must adhere to APA format. 

communications discussion post 6

This forum requires the viewing of two videos: the first is an excerpt from Dr. Kilbourne’s talk “Slim Hopes” and the second is a TED Talk by Ashley Graham. 

Dr. Jean Kilbourne is a renowned speaker who has made a career of presenting on her critical analyses of the effects of advertising on the American culture (ChallengingMedia, 2006). The video is of a brief excerpt (5:10) of Kilbourne’s talk “Slim Hopes,”Links to an external site. where she aims to persuade her audience that our culture’s current obsession with weight stems in part from the powerful influence advertising has on our culture. In fact, she argues that “there is no aspect more pervasive or more persuasive than advertising.” Also, while not required, you may want to view other videos by KilbourneLinks to an external site. which discuss the media’s influence on our culture’s attitudes regarding alcohol, tobacco, and sexuality.

The second video “Plus Size? More Like My Size”Links to an external site. is from a TED Talk by Ashley Graham, a model who is a major voice in the body acceptance movement (TEDx Talks, 2015).

Also, study the chapter on persuasive presentations in our textbook. In light of the videos, the text, and your own experiences, respond to the questions below:

  • How do the speakers effectively address the appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos? 
  • How do the images and data serve to persuade? 
  • With regard to kairos and context, how may modern viewers respond to Kilbourne’s message differently than those who viewed these messages when they were first created (Kilbourne’s videos were made nearly 20 years ago)? 
  • How does seeing Ashley Graham, a modern voice, support the work Kilbourne has been doing? 
  • Finally, what is your personal reaction? Do you relate? Do you find the messages persuasive? Does the context or age of Kilbourne’s videos affect your receptiveness of her message?

Be sure to respond to your peers as well. As a reminder, connect to a scholarly source beyond the videos from Kilbourne and Graham.
