Discussion

The most interesting encounter this week was a thirty-five years old male patient who has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. The patient reported to have served in the military for more than twenty-five years. He presented with severe symptoms which have been persistent since his retirement from the military. His symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder include hyper vigilance, nightmares and flashbacks (Dutheil et al.,2021). Additionally, his next of kin reported that he has difficulties in maintaining relationships and also, he has a sense of detachment from his family. According to the patient, these symptoms have affected his life since it is hard for him to be understood by people who ha e not gone through similar experiences. After comprehensive examination, the patient was initiated to treatment which include medication, therapy, ex-military support groups and community support. Support groups works better for patients who have undergone similar experiences (Harnett et at.,2020).

Looking Ahead

What clinical goal would you like to tackle next week?

Discussion

In the coming week, my main goal is to improve my competency in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to post traumatic stress disorder patients. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most common therapy used in treatment of PTSD (McLean et al.,2022).

What is your proposed clinical schedule (date/time/total hours) for next week?
I have completed all clinical hrs required for this course.

I am going to email/message you to further discuss … (Optional)

culture and caring theories

By Academic Wizard Samples

Which of the culture and caring theories most resonates with you for your practice as an NP?

In my future role as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, the nursing theory resonates with the Quality-Caring Model because it reveals and illustrates the importance of nursing in the context of evidence-based practice in contemporary healthcare. It encourages a method or manner of being, that subverts modernist norms and emphasizes the importance of connections. The blended model characterizes the two main connections that make up professional encounters by restating the relationship-centered aspect of nursing work. It is predicted that caring relationships benefit patients and their families as well as healthcare providers and systems (Thomas et al., 2019).

How does the theory integrate the nursing paradigm? ,

The Quality care Model unifies the nursing paradigm by centering the nursing process around relationships. This paradigm places a strong emphasis on the value of connections with patients, families, coworkers, oneself, and the community. To foster efficient caregiving and cohesive teams, it also recommends that nurses collaborate with other members of the healthcare team. The approach helps nurses deliver high-quality care by fusing these compassionate interactions with evidence-based practice (Compton et al., 2018).

What parts of the theory do you identify with? How does the theory help to meet CLAS standards to advance health equity?

One aspect of Duffy’s quality care model that resonates with me is how understanding patients’ perspectives on caring behaviors can assist the nursing team in identifying areas where rapport-building and improving the quality of life for patients and their families. Because it identifies eight caring factors acknowledging each other’s distinct meaning, fostering a healing atmosphere, offering attentive reassurance, human respect, encouraging behavior, meeting basic human needs, and working together to solve problems the Duffy quality care model contributes to meeting the CLAS standard by tailoring care to a patient’s linguistic and cultural preferences, medical professionals can assist improve health outcomes for a range of groups and reduce health disparities (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2019).

program that would improve outcomes.

By Academic Wizard Blog

Propose a change to one aspect of your local or regional health care system or program that would improve outcomes. Then, conduct a comparative analysis of other, non-U.S. health care systems, focusing on the proposed change. Summarize the proposed change and your comparative analysis in a 4–5 page report.

Health care systems around the world provide useful models for analysis. Familiarity with different models and approaches to health care enables leaders to identify what works and what does not, as the basis for proposing a change. As we continue to evaluate the complex and fragmented system in the United States, it is important for nurse leaders to become familiar with the programs and systems that provide evidence-based quality care that is affordable and focused on continual improvement.

This assessment provides an opportunity to examine a local or regional health care issue from a global perspective.

Your organization, in collaboration with the key stakeholders from the community, is funding an initiative to investigate potential improvements in the local or regional health care system. As a nurse leader attuned to the effects of health care policy and finance on the provision of affordable, high-quality care, you have been asked to join the task force conducting the study.

You know that an examination of other countries’ health care systems can provide a solid, evidence-based foundation for evaluating outcomes and identifying benchmarks. Consequently, you have decided to undertake an analysis of selected, non-U.S. health care systems and compare them to each other and to the existing local or regional U.S. system to help inform decision making as the task force considers proposed changes.

In this assessment, you will propose a change to one aspect of your local or regional health care system or program. Conduct a comparative analysis of different health care systems and summarize your proposed change and findings from your analysis in a report to executive leaders. To prepare for your assessment, you are encouraged to begin thinking about the non-U.S. health care systems you might like to examine. In addition, you may wish to:

REQUIREMENT

Complete this assessment in three steps:

Propose a change to one aspect of your local or regional health care system or program that would improve outcomes.,
Conduct a comparative analysis of different health care systems focusing on one aspect of the system you are proposing to change.,
Summarize your proposed change and the results of your comparative analysis in a report to executive leaders.,

The summary report requirements outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide for Proposing Evidence-Based Change, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. The Guiding Questions: Proposing Evidence-Based Change document provides additional considerations that may be helpful in completing your assessment. In addition, be sure to note the requirements below for document format and length and for citing supporting evidence.

Identify an aspect of a local or regional health care system or program that should be a focus for change.
Define desirable outcomes, including who will pay for care and factors limiting achievement of those outcomes.
Analyze two non-U.S. health care systems or programs that offer insight into a proposed change for a health care system or program in the United States.
- Choose one of the following options for selecting the two systems or programs:
  - Option 1: Select two systems at opposite ends of the scale in terms of desirable outcomes for the issue reflected in your proposed change.
  - Option 2: Select two systems that both produce positive outcomes but take unique or innovative approaches to the problem.
- Compare the outcomes in each non-U.S. system with each other and with present outcomes in your local or regional health care system.
Explain why specific changes will lead to improved outcomes.
Determine the financial and health implications associated with the proposed changes.
- Address the implications of making the changes.
- Address the implications of not making the changes.
Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.
Support assertions, arguments, propositions, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence.

Mastering in physics

Question-1. A box of mass m is sliding along a horizontal surface.

Part A The box leaves position x=0 with speed v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at position x=x1.,

Find the magnitude of the average frictional force that acts on the box. (Since you don’t know the coefficient of friction, don’t include it in your answer.)Express the frictional force in terms of m, v0, x1 Mastering in physics

ƒ
Part B After the box comes to rest at position x1 a person starts pushing the box giving it a speed v1.

When the box reaches position x2(wherex2 > x1), how much work has the person done on the box? Assume that the box reaches x2 after the person has accelerated it from rest to speedv1.Express the work in terms of m, v0, x1, x2, v1

Question-2

Understand that conservative forces can be removed from the work integral by incorporating them into a new form of energy called potential energy that must be added to the kinetic energy to get the total mechanical energy.

The first part of this problem contains short-answer questions that review the work-energy theorem. In the second part we introduce the concept of potential energy. But for now, please answer in terms of the work-energy theorem.(PART-A to PART E)
