Describe a form of interdisciplinary collaborative care you’ve seen on your current assigned clinical or work site. Then have a discussion about the following questions:

  • Who coordinated that care? What was the nurse’s role in ascertaining that the care was provided?

Research Critique on Impact of Nursing diversity

/in /by

write a critique of a research article. (example will be provided) 

research article will be provided in pdf format. 

  research topic is “The Impact of Nursing Diversity in Patient Care on the Medical-Surgical Floor”

Please review previous work done and follow the rubric carefully and write each answer in different paragraphs with titles; 

Rubric;

1.      Is the research study relevant to the study of nursing, (be specific   and include examples from the article)? 

2.  Is the method/design appropriate in terms of the research question/hypothesis? What was the research question/hypothesis? Was it clearly stated? Refer back to Polit & Beck (2021) (The Method Section). Key elements are discussed, and identification of items should be included. Provide a description of each of these key elements.  

3.   What is the theoretical context? See chapter 7 in Polit & Beck. The terms theoretical and conceptual frameworks are used interchangeably. Theories are used to describe, predict, explain, and to control phenomena.   (Theoria is a Greek Word that means beholding or speculation). 

“Theoretical frameworks provide the organization for the study. It guides the researcher in the interpretations of the results. the importance of the theory is dependent on the degree of research based evidence and level of its theory development. There are four levels of theory development 1) factor isolating (describe phenomena) 2) Factor relating (explain phenomena), 3) Situation relating (predict 

the relationships between/among phenomena), 4) Situation producing (control phenomena and relationships

**If your article does not have a theoretical framework what do you suggest based on Polit & Beck Chapter 7?  

4.  Describe the results of the study (identify if they are believable or not)  

5.  Are the results significant? In what way-explain use examples?  

6.   Are the results transferable? How? Transferability refers to the readers of the research to make connections but invites readers of research to make connections between elements of a study and their own experience. Transferability does not involve broad claims. How does this research apply to YOUR specific practice as a Registered Nurse?  

According to Brown (2005), Transferability can be enhanced by providing what is often referred to as thick description (i.e., giving enough detail so the readers can decide for themselves if the results

are transferable to their own contexts).   

7.  Implications for nursing practice, be specific how would this study impact nursing practice (use specific examples from the article)?  

8.  Implications for future research, be specific and use examples from the article.  

9.  The paper shall reflect a scholarly effort; proper grammar, coherence, spelling, and accurately use APA format. Have someone proof read your paper. Read your paper out loud to yourself.  

Also check all the attachments. 

Renal

/in /by

Discuss what is happening on a cellular level with the disease process. Be careful to realize that patients have co-morbidities and you may need to discuss the other diseases impact on the pathophysiology and care of the patient.  Three (3) resources after 2008 are required along with APA format. 

Renal Failure

Patient Profile:

J.M. is a 37-year-old woman transferred to a large medical center from a small rural hospital for further evaluation of lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and progressive deterioration of urinary output.

Subjective Data:

-Long history of ETOH Abuse with a drinking binge two days ago

-Arthritis with heavy use of ibuprofen

-HTN for three years, treated with hydrochlorothiazide and a calcium channel blocker

-Borderline NIDDM for three years, does not want to take medications and has been trying

to lose weight and “watch her sugar intake.”

Objective Data:

B/P: 160/110 K: 6.3 mEq/L Urinary output: <15ml/hr Na: 149 mEq/L Lethargic Hgb A1C: 9.2%

Creatinine: 9.6 mg/dL BUN: 121 mg/dL

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS…

1. Address how the various factors in her past medical history could have contributed to her present renal problem.

2. Is her acute renal failure likely to be prerenal, intrarenal, postrenal, or a combination? Why?

3. Discuss each of the laboratory values and how they reflect the pathophysiology that occurs in renal failure. What is the significance of her Hgb A1C level?

4. What are the specific priorities of treatment for J.M.?

5. Explain the types of dialysis available, their indications, and their advantages/ disadvantages. What type of dialysis will most likely be used for J.M?

6. After two weeks of intensive support and dialysis, J.M’s urinary output returns. Explain the diuretic phase of recovery in Acute Renal Failure, and what complications can occur.

7. Do you think she needs intervention for her diabetes? What guidelines did you consult? How would you start in treating a patient with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes? Which medication(s) might you want to start first? What patient education issues would you emphasize in the initial period?

Discussion Week 3

/in /by

 Within the Discussion Board area, write 500-1000 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Your primary response is the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. You are required to use two scholarly resources from peer-reviewed journals no more than 3-5 years old, in addition to your course textbooks. Be substantive and clear, and use examples from the literature to reinforce your ideas.

For the past 100 years, nursing education has been the focus of numerous reports (e.g. the Flexner Report, the Institute of Medicine, the QSEN Initiative, the Carnegie Report) and academic organizations (e.g. AACN, NLN) have issued position statements and/or developed guidelines regarding where nursing education should take place and what its focus should be. Please answer the following:

Relative to the current trends in nursing education, how would you construct a curriculum that is innovative and relevant, able to fully engage learners and facilitate student growth, reflect evidence-based practices, and reflects are a collaborative experience?

Consider the following in your response:

  • The primary diver for the development of professional knowledge and how that is embedded in the standards of patient care.
  • The identification of competencies.
  • The benefits and drawbacks of competency-based v. traditional curricula in nursing programs.
