Case Study, Chapter 1, Health Care Delivery and Evidence-Based Nursing Practice

1. Suzanne Jones, 76-year-old patient with COPD is admitted to the ICU. Mrs. Jones is placed on mechanical ventilation to assist with her breathing. After 2 days on the ventilator, Mrs. Jones is extubated and then transferred to a medical-surgical unit. The medication regimen is adjusted during the hospitalization. Mrs. Jones is discharged home after 6 days. She and her family are pleased with the care she receive in the hospital. 

1. Describe the quality performance tools that may be used to demonstrate that the care and treatment rendered are both cost-efficient and of high quality.
2. Describe the quality performance tools that may be used to demonstrate that the nursing care utilized is evidence-based care and high quality, resulting in patient satisfaction and good patient outcomes.

2. The registered nurse working in the cardiac care clinic is tasked with implementing quality improvement measures. To educate the clinic staff, the nurse plans an in-service program to introduce concepts of quality improvement and evidence-based practice. Additionally, the role of the case manager will be included in the presentation. The nurse plans on using care of the patient with Congestive Heart Failure as a template, and prepares sample clinical pathways, care maps, and multidisciplinary action plans. 

1. Describe how clinical pathways are used to coordinate care of caseloads of patients.
2. What is the role of the case manager in evaluating a patient’s progress?
3. What are examples of evidence-based practice tools used for planning patient care?

Question #1

Identifying and Interpreting Descriptive Statistics (graded, 25 points)

Examine the survey results located in the Resources section of the Unit 6 Assignments page. Choose one of the items, determine the descriptive statistic that is reported, and indicate what it means. For example, “What is the highest level of education of this group?” (Please do not repeat the same topic as your classmates.)

Why did the researchers reach their conclusions? What did they actually find? Data Analysis entails describing, interpreting, and reporting essential information in an understandable way. It pulls elements or information together to present a clear picture of the information collected. Although it organizes the data collected, it does not make implications for practice. 

The Course Outcomes (COs) we will apply in Unit 6 include:

· Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies.

· Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and lab significance related to evidence-based practice.

· Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects.

The results are in! Findings from “hypothetical” students may be found in the assignments tab in Unit 6 under the file called “Hypothetical Results from Survey.” Please review these fictional results and describe what they say about this sample of nursing students.

Instructions

· I need 150 or more words

· I attached the Hypothetical Results from Survey for you to answer the question, please use 1 professional reference.

· Please answer the questions carefully, highlighted in yellow and bold black words.

Question # 2

Identifying and Interpreting Inferential Statistics (graded, 25points)

Our goal is to read and understand published research in order to analyze credible evidence for best practice. The nurse must know how to access the latest research and correctly interpret the findings by using professional judgment and experience.

The Course Outcomes (COs) we will apply in Unit 6 include:

· Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies.

· Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and lab significance related to evidence-based practice.

· Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects.

Please answer questions highlighted in yellow carefully; I need 150 words or more.

Discuss the importance of inferential statistics in research. How does it differ from descriptive statistics? Please give an example of inferential statistics and support your answer with current literature.

Please locate an inferential statistical report using current literature. Discuss how it was utilized and the relevance of inferential statistics in research. How does it differ from descriptive statistics?

Social media plays a significant role in the lives of nurses in both their professional and personal lives. Additionally, social media is now considered a mainstream part of the process for recruiting and hiring candidates. Inappropriate or unethical conduct on social media can create legal problems for nurses as well as the field of nursing.

Login to all social media sites in which you engage. Review your profile, pictures and posts. Based on the professional standards of nursing, identify items that would be considered unprofessional and potentially detrimental to your career and that negatively impact the reputation of the nursing field.

In 500-750 words, summarize the findings of your review. Include the following:

1. Describe the posts or conversations in which you have engaged that might be considered inappropriate based on the professional standards of nursing.
2. Discuss why nurses have a responsibility to uphold a standard of conduct consistent with the standards governing the profession of nursing at work and in their personal lives. Include discussion of how personal conduct can violate HIPAA or be considered unethical or unprofessional. Provide an example of each to support your answer.
3. Based on the analysis of your social media, discuss what areas of your social media activity reflect Christian values as they relate to respecting human value and dignity for all individuals. Describe areas of your social media activity that could be improved.
