Write an article for a community newsletter for a local retirement  village that explains the laws, policies, and choices surrounding  end-of-life health care decisions.

Nurses are at the bedside during the dying process; they spend  entire shifts with patients and families; they develop trusting  relationships; and they are competent to assess patient and family  needs. Nurses gain a unique perspective that allows them to become aware  when a patient is not responding to treatment. This perspective places  nurses in a position to facilitate end-of-life decision making. (Adams,  Bailey. Anderson, & Docherty, 2011, para. 4)

Discussion post

Hello Class,

When my elderly mother’s health began to fail a few years ago, my sister and I were often at her side at the doctor’s office, at the ED, and eventually, in personal care and then a nursing home. She saw many physicians and had numerous therapies in a distant community in which her health records were neither electronic nor shared. Everyone needed her information and she was not a good historian, so I organized what information we needed for a doctor/ER visits into a huge 3 ring notebook, which I grabbed for every scheduled visit or emergency trip. Many of you may have organized the same kind of records for your family members. How much easier this situation would have been for everyone if we, and her providers, had access to an electronic, personal health record for her. 

A review of the literature on the consumer’s perspective of the PHR found that consumers are interested in adopting PHRs, which are powerful tools for management of health. Features that consumers want in a PHR include the ease of navigation, explanation of medical terminology, being able to view their medical documents, understand their test results and medications and communicate with their providers (Pushpangadan, and Seckman, 2015). In addition, barriers to the use of the PHR included the digital divide, medical terminology as well as privacy and security concerns.

How would a client’s use of a PHR impact your practice? Would you encourage your client’s to initiate a PHR?Hello Class,

New construction projects begin with a design phase, where architects blueprint the vision complete with design details. They work in collaboration with builders who use the designs to prepare the appropriate strategies, tools, and materials to bring the vision to reality. You are both architect and builder of your success. You have started to blueprint your vision in your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan. You have identified others with whom you will collaborate. Now you can begin to prepare the appropriate strategies, tools, and materials

How will you approach your studies? What types of resources are available to you, and how will you access and utilize them? Taking the opportunity to prepare these strategies, tools, and materials will help ensure you can “break ground” without incident and successfully move to the phase where you begin building your vision.

To Prepare:

Consider your goals for academic accomplishments while a student of the MSN program.

Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources for this module.

The Assignment:

In this Assignment, you will continue developing your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan by appending the original document you began in the previous Assignment to develop the second component—academic resources and strategies. To accomplish this:

Identify and describe at least three academic resources or strategies that can be applied to the MSN program

Identify and describe at least three professional resources that can be applied to success in the nursing practice in general or your specialty in particular
