Effective communication is a staple of our healthcare culture.  Working with patients, peers, and interprofessional teams requires that nurses manage information and evidence toward influencing safe and positive patient outcomes.

 

Please address the following:

 

Describe caring attributes of the culture where you currently practice. Which attributes stand out as having significant influence on patients, nurses, and other healthcare professionals?

 

How do you see effective communication relating to patient outcomes in this setting? What is the evidence for this?

In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, research the topic of learning disabilities of American children and address the following:

 

  1. When is a child’s communication considered delayed? Please include stages of development regarding communication with examples.
  2. What are speech disorders and how are they characterized?
  3. What are language disorders? How does they affect language development and education?
  4. How does a speech language pathologist help children with communication disorders? Explain with specific techniques and examples.

Professional nurses rely on research findings to inform practice decisions; they use critical thinking to apply research directly to specific patient care situations.

 

Think about an independent nursing practice problem you care passionately about and would be interested in searching for evidence. The below problems should not be used:

 

*medical/doctor/physician problems such as medications, or medications administration or effects, diagnostics such as EKGs, labs, cardiac catherizations.

 

*staffing, nurse-to-patient ratios, workforce issues are organizational/system /political/administrative/multi-stakeholder problems which nursing cannot solve independently.

 

Describe a significant nursing clinical issue, topic of interest, or practice problem that is important to you. Describe why you chose the problem/topic.

 

Write your clinical question in the PICO(T) format for your nursing practice problem. *To write your clinical question in the PICO(T) format, use the NR439_Guide for writing PICOT Questions and Examples found in your required reading or access the following link: ****see attached***

 

List each of your PICOT elements.

 

Share why you care about this nursing practice problem and why you believe the problem would benefit from finding the best evidence.
