Discuss: Foundational Neuroscience

Week 1 discussion

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, it is essential for you to have a strong background in foundational neuroscience. In order to diagnose and treat clients, you must not only understand the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, but also how medications for these disorders impact the central nervous system. These concepts of foundational neuroscience can be challenging to understand. Therefore, this Discussion is designed to encourage you to think through these concepts, develop a rationale for your thinking, and deepen your understanding by interacting with your colleagues.

Running head: CAPSTONE PROJECT BSR Capstone Project Topic 1 CAPSTONE PROJECT 2 BSR Capstone Project Initiative Bedside shift report (BSR) is an exercise that enhances patient security, as well as improves the nature of care and lessens unnecessary human services expenses. It is one of the numerous systems healthcare facilities around the United States are taking to enhance patient security and also experience and contribution in their caring. Apart from being evidence-based practice, BSR is additionally observed to improve patient fulfillment scores, particularly on the communication with nurses. The objective behind this capstone is to assess the nurses’ attitudes after the usage of bedside shift report at a nearby healthcare facility. Additionally, it will evaluate the utilization of BSR with the help of the Logic Model. Setting The capstone undertaking will be followed on all the nursing units at 120-bed teaching on a local healthcare facility. The different units at this health center will be an emergency department, two intensive care units, an orthopedic unit, a birthing center, and pediatric unit, and lastly a medical telemetry unit. Description Patient safety is an essential issue in all parts of healthcare facilities. It is directly influenced by medical errors Poor or insufficient communication among the healthcare providers is one of the significant reasons for medical errors. BSR does not give nurses a chance to evaluate their patient with an associate outwardly and additionally incorporates patients in the exchange of their care services. Communication and medical errors profoundly affect patient safety daily. By diminishing these preventable errors, hospitals can enhance patient safety, CAPSTONE PROJECT 3 diminish high healthcare costs, and enhance patient fulfillment scores. BSR is one of the numerous ways that medicinal and communication errors can be decreased. Impacts The following are the impacts to the healthcare: a) Reduced time spent in shift report. b) Enhance patient with knowledge for their disease and care process. c) Reduced communication errors among providers. d) Nurses are encouraging each other to exercise shift report at the bedside. e) Nurses will exercise BSR during shift change. Significance Patient safety in the healthcare facility is a public health problem. This subject has numerous ramifications for general society, for medicinal services providers, therapeutic costs, and human services repayment. BSR is one strategy that influences all parts of patient security. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) evidence that BSR is useful to all patients since it enhances these four critical areas: accountability and time management between nurses, nursing staff satisfaction, patient experience of care, patient quality and safety. Patient experience of care, patient safety, and quality are major essential parts and profoundly impact public health. As evident by many healthcare that has established BSR, it enhances the power of strengthening patient-nurse relationships (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2013). Proposal It will be essential if various units build up a standard report sheet that each nurse will pursue. Making a lanyard that medical attendants could bear on their identifications will be another idea. The SBAR identification lanyard will be a visual suggestion to the nurses who CAPSTONE PROJECT 4 might not feel sure when giving the patient report, or for those who often neglect to give report utilizing SBAR. There may likewise be a requirement for additional training for the nurses on the SBAR afresh. Articles Summary 1. Williams, C. L. (January 03, 2018). Discussion: Literature Review for Nursing paper

Journal of Clinical Nursing, 23(13/14), 1927-1936 10p. doi:10.1111/jocn.12403 It empirically studies the process and outcomes of the implementation of nurse‐to‐nurse BSR handover in 3 rural South Australian healthcare. The article used ethnographic CAPSTONE PROJECT 7 interviewing and 7‐point Likert scale to obtain patient perceptions. The study provides that implementing bedside handover leads to a patient‐centered system.

They conducted a cross‐sectional finding on 200 nurses recruited from two public and private Australian hospitals, employed on medical wards. It supports that inhibiting characteristics depicts that individual nurse and patient views, communication, or abilities hinders bedside handover.

The capstone reports a BSR among patients and nurses. A sum of 54 nurses was involved in the survey. Inclusion criteria are that the participants must be an enlisted nurse working within the local healthcare facility. The excluded participants from the study will be nurses who do not offer direct patient care or those who were in regulatory jobs, for example, a nurse instructor or manager. Intervention The primary intervention within the capstone is enhancing nurses’ attitudes towards BSR which is related to proper communication and medical error avoidance. The effect of medical errors on direct-care nurses is an appropriate practice-based issue justifying brief consideration with the end goal to encourage nursing administration’s mindfulness, comprehension, and capacity to help and bolster the nurse, as the second casualty, encountering individual and expert harm following a medical mistake. Comparison The comparison based on the bedside shift report versus a traditional report in a patients’ room. Unlike the traditional shift report, BSR stresses on improving patient safety, instead of quantity of care, which has dependably based on the conventional method. As an evidence-based practice, bedside shift report moreover observed to enhancing patient fulfillment scores, particularly on the point of communicating with nurses. According to the Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality (AHRQ), Nursing Bedside Shift Report express that the objective of BSR is to help guarantee the sheltered handoff of consideration between nurses by including the PICOT 3 patient and family (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2013). By diminishing these preventable mistakes, health care centers can enhance patient security, decrease abundance social insurance costs, and enhance patient fulfillment scores. Outcomes. The outcomes are divided into three parts as follows: Long-Term Outcomes. 1. The healthcare will get CMS repayment due to an expansion in patient fulfillment scores. 2. The decrease in abundance expenses that are caused by sentinel occasions like falls. Intermediate Outcomes These are the outcomes that need to happen with the goal that long-term outcomes can occur. An instance of this will be a statement like health care will get an A review as per the Leap-Frog award for patient security since sentinel occasions, for example, patient falls have diminished throughout the healthcare facility. The moderate outcome in this instance is that there will be a decrease in sentinel occasions like patient falls. Short-Term Outcomes These are the outcomes that need to occur for the intermediate outcome to happen. They are typically changes in understanding, perceptions, feelings, attitudes, and knowledge of the nurses. For this rationale, if nurses have a superior comprehension of how to do bedside shift report, at that point they would have the capacity to inhibit sentinel occasions, for example, falls on their units. Subsequently, this will at that point prompt a general decrease of falls in the health care facility and a review A from the Leap-Frog Group association.Discussion: Literature Review for Nursing paper
