Application of Course Knowledge

Application of Course Knowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail.,

Reflect on your learning experience in this course., Which concepts stood out to you and made an impact?, How do you envision using these concepts in your future nursing practice as a master’s prepared nurse?

The Hypersensitivity types, along with Urinary disorders stood out to me during this course due to the characteristics of the disease process and risk factors. I feel that I will be able to better diagnose and treat these disorders now that I have a better understanding of how they present and how to treat them.

Describe how course learning activities and assignments will help you achieve Program Outcome 1: Provide high quality, safe, patient-centered care grounded in holistic health principles.

Throughout this course, I learned how to better assess patient symptoms and signs of disease without being narrow-minded and thinking about all possible scenarios, and not only the ones that stick-out right away.

Describe how course assignments or activities will help you achieve ONE of the sub-competencies from the
advanced-level nursing education competencies from AACN Essentials Competency 1.3 Demonstrate clinical judgment founded on a broad knowledge base.
Application of Course Knowledge

1.3d: Integrate foundational and advanced specialty knowledge into clinical reasoning.
By being able to take assessment information and use it to come up with a diagnosis or disease process through critical thinking, pathophysiology, and previous disease process knowledge, one is able to better diagnose and treat the disease process. Using learned pathophysiology regarding disease processes and system awareness allows the advanced practice nurse to properly diagnose and treat the patient as a whole, including education, disease process, treatment, and follow-up care.

Logic Model Case Study

By Academic Wizard Blog

Logic Model Case Study

One in seven low-income, preschool-aged children in the US is obese (CDC, 2020). In addition, nearly 19% of US children are obese (CDC, 2020). Childhood obesity is one of the leading public health concerns and disproportionately affects low-income children. Being obese as a child also increases the likelihood of being obese as an adolescent or adult (CDC, 2020). This puts children at risk for developing several chronic diseases, including diabetes, asthma and hypertension.

In ABC County, there is a high poverty rate and 27% of the community is obese. Additionally, 45% of school-aged children are either overweight or obese. You are a health educator who has been assigned with the task of decreasing childhood obesity rates by collaborating with Lincoln Elementary School in ABC County. The school has 300 students from pre-kindergarten through 4^th grade, all of whom have limited access to quality physical education programming. Lacking basic essentials, such as a physical education teacher and gymnasium, the children are already at a disadvantage. However, the school has a large open space behind the main building but no formal playground.

Logic Model Case Study

Regular physical activity contributes to obesity prevention. The availability of quality and safe recreation areas play pivotal roles in physical activity behaviors in children. The goal of your program is to improve the overall health and wellbeing of elementary school children in ABC County as measured by participation in physical activity either during or after school.

Briefly write 3-4 objectives to increase physical activity for children at Lincoln Elementary School.
Develop a logic model to illustrate your program.Logic Model Case Study

Central Health System Telehealth

By Academic Wizard Blog

Central Health System Telehealth

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Central Healthcare System (CHS) integrated telehealth services within several facilities, including their health education center and several outpatient practices, and many patients took advantage of these services. With the decrease in pandemic-related hospitalizations and case numbers, functions within CHS started returning to normal, but administrators are considering continuing telehealth services and potentially expanding into other practices. During the pandemic, surveys were conducted with all patients and providers after telehealth visits, and focus groups were conducted with smaller groups of patients and providers across a range of sites. A CHS analyst analyzed the data from the surveys and focus groups and provided CHS healthcare leaders with the following condensed summaries. CHS administrators plan to synthesize and analyze this information along with data from scholarly literature to help inform their decision.

Central Health System Telehealth Survey Highlights:

Percent of Patient and Provider Ratings of “Agree” or “Strongly Agree” on Telehealth Survey Questions by Category

Overall patient and provider perceptions of telehealth were very positive. Ease-of-use ratings were lower among patients than providers, with the lowest ratings among patients ages 65 and older. Effectiveness ratings were largely favorable, but were lower among surgical patients and providers.

Central Health System Telehealth Focus Group Highlights:

Themes and Subthemes of Patient and Provider Perceptions of Telehealth

Patient and provider responses centered around acceptance of telehealth, convenience of telehealth, and barriers to telehealth. Overall, patients and providers cited a high acceptance of telehealth and felt visits were useful and of high quality. Providers found that visits were highly efficient, and patients noted that the lack of travel reduced their time away from work and other obligations. Providers and patients were concerned that some visits could not adequately capture the same information yielded from in-person physical exams. Inexperience with technology also negatively impacted some patient perceptions of telehealth.

How might a telehealth expansion benefit CHS patients or providers? How could an expansion be advantageous to the organization as a whole? Alternatively, what are some of the possible risks or drawbacks of a CHS telehealth expansion? CHS leaders recognize that a telehealth expansion is a major decision that would require a significant investment of time and resources, and they want to use evidence to drive decision-making around if and how they might expand these services.

In this two-part Final Project, you will apply your understanding of the Data-Driven Decision-Making Framework to CHS’s decision-making process. In the first part of your Final Project, you will focus on the Data, Information, and Knowledge phases of the framework that precede a decision as you integrate available data to inform a decision recommendation. The second part of the project will concentrate on the steps that follow a decision, including plans for implementation, impact evaluation, and communication with stakeholders.

Central Health System Telehealth

Part 1: Literature Review Matrix

Use the Literature Review Matrix to organize the two telehealth articles that were provided, as well as three additional articles that will help support the decision.

Part 2: Draft a 7- to 8-page paper providing a synthesis of your information and your data-driven decision. Within your paper, include the following:

Briefly describe the decision that was proposed within the scenario.,
Organize the provided CHS data summaries and the five scholarly articles from your Literature Review Matrix to support a decision.,
Analyze the literature and consider the evidence available to help inform the decision. Include an explanation of the significance of the findings.,
Explain the additional types and sources of data that may be needed to support the decision.,
Synthesize the data information and knowledge to support a decision.

SOAP Note Documentation

By Academic Wizard Blog

SOAP Note Documentation

A SOAP note is a method of documentation employed by healthcare providers to record and communicate patient information in a clear, structured, and in an organized manner. This assignment will provide students with the necessary tools to document patient care effectively, enhance their clinical skills, and prepare them for their roles as competent healthcare providers.

Instructions:

SOAP is an acronym that stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. The episodic SOAP note is to be written using the attached template below.

For all the SOAP note assignments, you will write a SOAP note about one of your patients and use the following acronym:

S =	Subjective data: Patient’s Chief Complaint (CC).
O =	Objective data: Including client behavior, physical assessment, vital signs, and meds.
A =	Assessment: Diagnosis of the patient’s condition. Include differential diagnosis.
P =	Plan: Treatment, diagnostic testing, and follow up

SOAP Note Documentation

Submission Instructions:

Your SOAP note should be clear and concise, and students will lose points for improper grammar punctuation and misspellings.,
You must use the template provided. Turnitin will recognize the template and not score against it.,
Complete and submit the assignment using the appropriate template in MS Word,

Subjective (S) – Review of Systems (ROS):
- If the child is nonverbal or too young to describe symptoms, ensure you document statements from the guardian. Use phrases like “mother states…” or “father denies/admitted…” For example:
  - “Mother denies fever chills or weight loss.”,
  - “Mother admits to fever and chills no weight loss.”,
Social History (SH):
- This section will also look different but still needs to be filled out. Ask the guardian about the living situation such as:
  - “Lives in an apartment with no stairs, two parents, and three siblings.”,
- For babies or preschoolers you can put “N/A” for sexual orientation and work status. Instead note their grade level. Similarly, for drug and contraceptive use put “N/A.”,
- For teenagers make sure to ask about and document information regarding sexual activity contraceptive use and drug use.

SOAP Note Documentation

Screening:
- Adapt the screening section according to the child’s age. While some examples in the template, like mammograms and colonoscopies, do not apply to pediatric patients, there are many age-appropriate screenings to consider:
  - Newborns to 12 months: Immunizations, developmental milestones, feeding screenings, hearing tests (if not completed at the hospital), etc.
  - 18 to 24 months: Autism screening.
  - Older than 12 years: Depression screening
  - Dental exam, screening for HPV, Hep B, and HIV if high-risk behaviors.
  - Teenage girls (if sexually active): Discuss the need for a pap smear and make a referral to a GYN for the first visit.

By following these guidelines, you will ensure that your SOAP notes are thorough and appropriate for pediatric patients.
