Day: December 27, 2019

Goal: Considering multiple indicators to deal with specific processes using evidence-based decision making.

 

1-Describe and discuss the problem with patient transport at AUBMC.

 

2-Should the medical centre engage in a full-blown re-engineering of its patient transport processes? If so how? If not, why not?

 

a. Regardless of your answer in item 2, if you decided to do a re-engineering effort, identify elements that are crucial to the re-engineering effort. Use a bullet-point format and provide only brief explanations.

 

3-How can AUBMC address the stated problems? What performance indicators would you use to measure and deal with its problems?

 

4-How can management assess the situation using the indicators that you suggest in item 3 above? Do you need any additional data? If so, what do you need?

 

5-Translate the recommended KPIs into efficiency improvements. Also, identify the managerial decisions that are the most important ones to deal with the various problems.

 

6-Outline potential solutions to their transportation problem, including any problems with existing indicators.

 

*Use root cause analysis approach as one of the ways to evaluate the problem(s) in this case

Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
• Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
• Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery. 

Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.

 Create a 7-8 slide presentation with speaker notes about a selected disease process and drug class. The presentation should provide content specific information on the selected disease process and drug class for staff or students in a clinical environment. 

 

Follow these steps:

1. Select a disease process and a drug class used to treat the disease process.
2. Describe pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug related to the pathophysiology of the disease process.
3. Describe the product, its intended use, side effects, adverse reactions, and safety issues.
4. Identify ethnic, cultural, and genetic differences in patients that may affect the safety or efficacy of medications.
5. How would you monitor the desired affect is achieved?

Be sure to include three to five references.

 Many people are using herbal medications and dietary supplements for the prevention and treatment of medical problems. Review two current research articles about two of these products. Based on the findings, what would be the implications for you as a nurse? What additional research needs to be done in this area? Cite the two references to support your answer.  2 pages

 Choose a medical condition from the fluid, electrolyte, or acid-base system and explain the pathophysiology changes that may occur. What patient education would need to be included related to this disorder? Choose a medical condition different from that of your fellow students. 

 Select a medication used in evidence-based treatment guidelines for the condition chosen in the first discussion question. Share the mechanism of action of this medication and hints for monitoring, side effects, and drug interactions of which one should be aware. . Include the name of the medication in the subject line so that the medications can be followed.  2 pages -Include your references in APA style. 

A nurse is taking care of an 85-year-old woman in a hospital-based skilled nursing facility. In the report, the nurse is told the patient has not been breathing well for the past 2 days. She has been lethargic, her skin is warm and dry, and she has a decreased urine output. The following laboratory findings were returned from the laboratory immediately after morning report:

• Na: 147
• Cl 110
• K 4.0
• Blood Gases:
• pH 7.33
• PCO2 48
• HCO3 27
• Po2 96
• Urine:
• Urine Specific Gravity 1.040

Address the following:

1. Identify each of the abnormal laboratory findings in the above results. Specify how they differ from a normal range and identify what condition each abnormality indicates.
2. What specific electrolyte disturbance does the patient have?
3. What clinical manifestations would the nurse expect to see with this electrolyte abnormality presented above?
4. If the patient had an increase in her potassium level, what clinical manifestations would the nurse monitor for?
5. What blood gas abnormality is seen in this patient? Discuss the rationale for your answer.
6. What are the three major mechanisms of pH regulation?

For this assignment, you are required to read the “Finding the Frame” article found under the content section of Beachboard. Your assignment is to type a 3-4-page essay on how aging and ageism impacts our society. Use this essay as an opportunity to frame your own solution to the issues presented in this report and discuss what your recommendations would be to change the direction of this narrative. You will also discuss what must happen at various governmental levels to have your solutions executed, in your opinion (Reality Check section, see below). Devote 1-1 ½ page(s) to a summary of the issue(s), and the rest of the paper should be used to present your thoughts on your possible solutions. In addition to the Finding the Frame article, please reference a minimum of three outside sources related to your paper (at least four total sources, your textbook may be a source as well). Keep in mind, this is a narrative paper (first person) and the purpose of this assignment is for you to think critically about the issue of ageism/ aging and explore your thoughts, feelings and solutions on these issues. Write creatively and honestly in explaining your ideas and what society will look like when your solutions are implemented. Furthermore, discuss specific ways you would put your solutions into place. Imagine that it is all up to you and you alone to make these aging issues better and more manageable, what steps are you going to take at various levels to better ageism issues. Format: 3-4 pages, APA (6th ed)- Double-spaced; Times New Roman, Size 12 Font, with a minimum of four sources (including Finding the Frame article) cited in APA format. ***Do not forget to cite sources in text, as well as in a reference list. No Title page and Abstract necessary. Reference Page is not included in page count
