Assignment 2: Final Project

Overview/Description: The final assignment will synthesize what you have discovered about the different advanced practice roles and scope of practice found in the master of nursing curriculum: NP, nurse educator, nurse informaticist, and nurse administrator.

You will review all roles and then examine the specialty for which you were admitted, focusing on the scope of practice, core competencies, certification requirements, and legal aspects of practice for that specific role. You will also identify the practice environment and population you will be working with, as well as peers and colleagues. In addition, you will discuss your future leadership role and participation in professional organizations.

Your paper is to be based on current literature, standards of practice, core competencies, and certification bodies for your chosen role. The paper should be 10–12 pages excluding the title and reference, and APA format is required.

Criteria:

• Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing:
  • Compare and contrast the roles of the NP, nurse educator, nurse informaticist, and nurse administrator in advanced practice nursing pertaining to clinical practice, primary care, education, administration, and research.
• Selected Advanced Practice Role:
  • Examine regulatory and legal requirements for the state in which you plan to practice.
  • Describe the professional organizations available for membership based on your selected role.
  • Identify required competencies, including certification requirements for your selected role.
  • Predict the organization and setting, population, and colleagues with whom you plan to work.
• Leadership Attributes of the Advanced Practice Role:
  • Determine your leadership style (http://psychology.about.com/library/quiz/bl-leadershipquiz.htm).
  • Identify leadership attributes you currently possess, and attributes you may need to develop.
  • Determine how to attain and evaluate those missing attributes.
• Health Policy and the Advanced Practice Role
• Visit the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (http://www.rwjf.org/en/about-rwjf/newsroom/features-and-articles/health-policy.html) and identify a health policy issue. Conduct a review of literature and address the following:
  • Describe the current policy and what needs to change; justify your conclusions with citations from the literature.
  • Provide the process required to make the change with key players and parties of interest.
  • Explain how you could lead the effort to make or influence the change in policy.
  • Predict the effect on healthcare quality if the change in policy is implemented.

Pick from Questions 1 or 2 (Only answer one of the two questions) Thanks 

Due Date is August, Tuesday 9 2016

Discussion Question 1

There is no right or wrong answer for this ethical question; however, you will need to discuss an ethical consideration or dilemma of the APRN. Please remember what is correct for one person may not be correct for another. Look at the Nuremburg Code (US Department of Health & Human Services, 2005; Washington, 2012) as it was the major start of ethics in research and that can carry over to nursing practice.

In this week’s lecture material, ethical considerations of the advanced practice nurse have been discussed. Please expand on the following points:

• Choose a potential ethical dilemma that you may face in your chosen advanced practice nursing role.
• Describe the situation and potential solutions, including collaboration methods with other healthcare professionals.
• Examine the potential cost and benefits to your solution.
• Predict who would potentially oppose your stance. Support your stance with current research (minimum of one research article)

Review the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics and the ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (ANA, 2011a, 2011b) and identify one barrier to ethical practice. Please expand on the following points:

• Choose a potential barrier to ethical practice that you may face in your chosen advanced practice nursing role.
• Discuss if there is a relationship between your personal beliefs and values and this barrier.
• Describe at least one mechanism to overcome the barrier discussed.
• Examine the potential cost and benefits to this barrier.

UQ-Maintenance is developing a Machine Health Monitoring System to help in maintain- ing the many machines in various parts of UQ. For ef?ciency, the machines’ maintenance record are kept at the school level. For resource allocation purposes, UQ-Maintenance models the arrival of new machines in each school as independent Bernoulli Process, though they may not be identical. UQ models the health of a machine as a Markov Chain, where the states represent the health levels of the machines at the end of each month and a single transition step represents the changes in the machine’s health over the duration of one month. The transition from one state to another is modeled as independent Binomial distributions. This means, assuming X is the random variable that represents the state of the Markov Chain at time-step i, i P(X jX =s) is a Binomial distribution, for any states in the state space of the Markov t+1 t Chain ; the binomial distribution for different values ofX are independent, but they might t have different parameters. Of course, different types of machines may be modelled as different Markov Chain. How- ever, each Markov Chain will have one state that represents “break down and must be repaired” and one state that represents “pristine condition”. Furthermore, for simplicity, UQ-Maintenance models all machines in the same school with the same Markov Chain. Your tasks are: [40 points] I: Programming Please write a Matlab program (.m ?le) with 2 outputs: A single vector, where each element is the average number of machines at each of UQ school that are in state “break down and must be repaired” at the end of month-1, month-2, … , month-12, assuming at the…
