Context

Professional nursing practice is based on knowledge that comes from research. This research provides nurses with strategies to better communicate with patients, as well as answers to questions such as the following:

What are the most effective pharmacological agents to treat hypertension in an elderly Latino patient?

How do home visits benefit the family of a child with a severe chronic illness?

Are there new pharmacological treatments for mental illness?

Health care is ever changing. Research helps nurses understand what those changes are and build on their knowledge base as they continue to provide quality care to their patients.

 

Questions to Consider

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

What role does nursing play in clinical trials during the development of a new drug?

Assessment Instructions

In your professional nursing practice, you will likely encounter both patients and coworkers whose personal or cultural views on pharmacology may be quite different from your own. Understanding the most current research on pharmacological topics will help you make informed choices.

For this assessment, imagine your supervisor asks you to write an article on a controversial topic for the organization’s monthly newsletter in which you review the most recent research on the topic. She stresses you must present a balanced overview and equally address the pros and cons of the topic.

Preparation

Complete the following as you prepare to write your article:

Choose a topic from the list below:

The use of medical marijuana.

The use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) versus traditional Western medicine.

Experimental drug programs and disease management.

Mandated vaccinations for children and the implications for parental choice not to vaccinate.

Search the Capella library and the Internet to locate peer-reviewed research articles on your selected topic. The information you use to support your work in this assessment must be as recent as possible.

Note: These are very broad topics. Limit your work to the scope of your practice and be mindful of the page-length requirements.

Requirements

Once you have identified your topic, organize your article as you wish. Be sure to include the following:

Explain the appropriate use of the pharmacology related to the topic. Include elements such as diseases or health concerns associated with the topic and the efficacy and applicability of the pharmacology.

Explain the relationship between quality patient outcomes, patient safety, and use of the pharmacology related to the topic. Remember to address both the benefits and limitations of the pharmacology in terms of specific diseases and populations.

Explain how the topic affects both the community and the organization in terms of promoting health and wellness.

Describe any inequities regarding access to the pharmacology related to the topic. Is access limited to specific groups or populations? Who determines access? On what is it based? Does access influence choice?

Follow APA guidelines to format this assessment. Include a title page and reference page.

Additional Requirements

Number of pages: 5–6 (no more than 7).

At least 4 current scholarly or professional resources.

Times New Roman, 12 point, double-spaced font.

This will become a touchstone for your growth and a reminder of who you were as you look back at what was important to you in this point in time. 3. 3–6 Months o Start small. o Think about short-term goals that are easily achieved but will also help move you towards the longer-term goals. o Include some tangible goals (i.e., facilitate a workshop on a piece of technology where you created the manual on how to use it.) 4. 6–12 Months o Start thinking bigger here—this is planning for a year out. o What new skills do you want to learn? o What new ideas do you want to share with others? o What changes do you want to make? Put them down here along with the steps needed to take to make them happen. 5. Beyond 12 Months o Capture specific plans that you know may take more than a year to get to or accomplish. For me, it was to write an article on professional learning and have it published. o Be realistic but not afraid to reach. Visualize success in areas you may have little control over. Don’t be afraid to write down a desired goal that may be a stretch. 6. Longer-term Goals o This is the area to think out for the next 3–5 years, including life beyond the company or situation you are currently in. For me, I listed “teaching full time at the college level” as a goal. This reminds me that I want to do this and I need to make certain decisions and changes in order to make it happen. If I decide at a later time, that I don’t really want to do this, I should remove it off the plan. 7. Opportunities to Explore at Your Company o List all the training and coaching opportunities relevant and currently available at your company. o Note relationships that need to be cultivated at your company in order to meet success. 8. Skills to Develop o Project what skills you need to develop to reach the goals you listed in the first part of this exercise. o What other skills do you need, besides the ones you have now, to attain your goal? 9. What I Care About in a Work Environment o This may seem frivolous or not important to the task at hand, but it serves to remind you of the values you need to share with the company you work for. As you grow or the company changes this can help guide you when you need to make a change. 10. Personal Goals o Don’t forget the personal goals that you need to weave into your life. It never hurts to write these down as a reminder of work/life balance and of the things that are really important to you as a person.

Assignment Details

Analyzing Health Care Decision Making

A number of quantitative methods are utilized to make decisions and recommendations in health care. Quantitative methods are used to analyze and predict the demand for patient services, to determine capital expenditures for facility and technology enhancements, and to guide the manager in implementing quality controls. Whether or not you are familiar with quantitative methodologies, as a manager, you are responsible for the outcomes of implementing the decision based on the method used.

Your agency or institution has noted a negative trend in profitability for a diagnostic imaging cost center over the past 4 quarters.

As a manager, you need to make some recommendations to take to your board of directors to reverse the negative trend. Your first priority is to find a quantitative method to help you in making decisions. Complete the following:

Choose a quantitative method (e.g., the decision tree model).
Describe the model that you are using.
Outline at least 4 proposed solutions to your board of directors, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each with regard to return on investment, break-even analysis, improvement in patient demand, improved patient safety and quality, and so forth.
Summarize how the decision-making method helped you make objective recommendations to your board of directors.
