Experiential Nursing Learning Planning Proposal
Assignment

 20 points 


Overview and Instructions:
 Demonstrating the student’s ability to effectively collaborate with nursing leaders and community health nurses for the upcoming public/community health clinical experience, while using leadership skills as a means to prepare for the upcoming NURS 450 experiential nursing learning experiences, the student will submit an experiential learning planning proposal paper by 6-25-23.

During this course (410), you will plan your experiences that will take place during the NURS 450 course. Prior to due date, you will be responsible for contacting a BSN (or higher) preceptor for 24 hours in a public/community health clinical site for your upcoming NURS 450 course. The clinical site must offer community/population-based services, with the primary preceptor being a BSN (or higher) prepared nurse working in a clinical setting providing community or population-based care, while using nurse leadership skills. You will also arrange for 11 additional volunteer hours in a different public/community health setting. Within this module, you will find a list of potential experiential learning (clinical) sites that have been used by previous nursing students. This is not an all-inclusive list but does give the student an idea of previously used sites. Your precepted and/or volunteer experiential nursing learning (clinical) site does not need to be included in this list, as other public/community health sites can be arranged as well.

Reflection week 7

/in /by

 

Reflection: write 1-2 paragraphs reflecting on your learning for the week. Guiding questions are provided or you may write about what you felt was most significant to you for the week.

You will need to post your reflection here before you are able to see other students’ posts.

  • Nearly every student in the course was able to think of a time when they had personally been impacted by or had observed incivility in the workplace. In what ways does this impact your view of the nursing profession?
  • If those outside of healthcare were aware, how might it impact their view?
  • As you move towards your role as an NP, what will you do to support healthful work environments for yourself and your colleagues?
  • Think about your personal use of social media. Are there changes you would like to make in how you use social media?
  • What self-care practices do you engage in to promote personal holistic health?

What are the potential ethical and legal implications for each of the following practice members?


Medical assistant 

The medical assistant engaged in unethical behavior by refilling a prescription without proper authorization. Her action can potentially harm the patient if the medication is no longer appropriate or if there are contraindications.

Her actions violate state laws and regulations related to prescribing and dispensing medications without proper authorization.

Nurse Practitioner

The NP should thoroughly investigate the situation and address any ethical concerns related to patient care, including the appropriateness of the prescription refill and the potential breach of trust. The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association estimates three percent of all healthcare spending is lost to fraudulent transactions (Haddad Soleymani et al., 2018).

The NP's name was used on the prescription label without their knowledge and it must clarify this discrepancy and ensure compliance with prescription laws and regulations. At this point, the NP doesn't know if this has happened with other patients and it must be addressed.

Medical Director

The medical director has the ethical responsibility to address the situation promptly, ensuring that the practice's standards for ethical and legal behavior are upheld. 

Practice

The practice as a whole has an ethical obligation to provide high-quality, safe patient care. Any lapses in ethical standards may erode trust and confidence. Healthcare professionals must follow structured policies and procedures (Kadivar et al., 2017).

The practice should ensure that all staff members comply with legal requirements regarding prescription renewal. 

 

What strategies would you implement to prevent further episodes of potentially illegal behavior? 

Reinforce the importance of adhering to legal and ethical standards during training and ongoing education for medical assistants. 

Implementing stick protocols for prescription renewals including requiring direct provider authorization and documentation. 

According to the Department of Health and human services (2011), it is important to implement regular audits or checks of prescription practices to identify any irregularities.

Foster a culture of openness, where staff members feel comfortable reporting any ethical or legal concerns without fear of retaliation.
