6051 Discussion 3

/in /by

According to Rutherford (2008, para. 15), “Improved communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the institution in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language.” In this Discussion you consider the reasoning behind and the value of standardized codification.

To prepare

· Review the information in Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice. Determine which set of terminologies are appropriate for your specialty or area of expertise.

· Reflect on the importance of continuity in terminology and coding systems.

· In the article, “Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?” the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view its implementation of a new coding system. One of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1). Consider how you would inform this nurse (and others like her) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.

· Reflect on the value of using a standard language in nursing practice. Consider if standardization can be limited to a specialty area or if one standard language is needed across all nursing practice. Then, identify examples of standardization in your own specialty or area of expertise. Conduct additional research using the Walden Library that supports your thoughts on standardization of nursing terminology.

Post an explanation of why nurses need to document care using standardized nursing languages and whether this standardization can be limited to specialty areas or if it should be across all nursing practice. Support your response using specific examples from your own specialty or area of expertise and using at least one additional resource from the Walden Library.

According to The Institute for Health Care Improvement (2006), “Continuing Education (CE) is a vehicle for spreading best practices and how to improve patient outcomes.” In short, continuing education assists with keeping health care teams well-informed of current research, laws, regulations, and practices in the fields in which they practice.

6051 Discussion 2

/in /by

In this Discussion, you identify the role informatics plays in your professional responsibilities. You pinpoint personal gaps in skills and knowledge and then develop a plan for self-improvement.

To prepare:

· Review Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice in this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the different functional areas it describes. Consider which areas relate to your current nursing responsibilities or to a position you held in the past. For this Discussion, identify one or two of the most relevant functional areas.

· Review the list of competencies recommended by the TIGER Initiative. Identify at least one skill in each of the main areas (basic computer competencies, information literacy competencies, and information management competencies) that is pertinent to your functional area(s) and in which you need to strengthen your abilities. Consider how you could improve your skills in these areas and the resources within your organization that might provide training and support.

Post the key functional area(s) of nursing informatics relevant to your current position or to a position you recently held, and briefly describe why this area(s) is relevant. Identify the TIGER competencies you selected as essential to your functional area(s) in which you need improvement. Describe why these competencies are necessary and outline a plan for developing these competencies. Include any resources that are available to you within your organization and the ways you might access those resources. Assess how developing nursing informatics competencies would increase your effectiveness as a nurse.

4-Conveinience sampling IS a less reliable type of sampling.  Like the name, it it used for conveinience for the researcher.  It does not give a broader population of participants, narrowing down to a smaller group, or groups more than likely to answer similiarly.

 

5-Cluster sampling is when the population is divided into sections, then a section is chosen, and every individual of that section is used. An example would be to use classrooms A, B, C, and D, then choose one of those classrooms as your sample in the study.

Convenience sampling is used to get results by the easiest of ways. An example is when the researcher uses subjects close at hand.

Systematic sampling is having a place to begin and then selecting (every other, for example) of that sample. For example, lining up a class of 10 th graders and picking every 3 rd person to be part of the sample.

Stratified sampling takes a population with the same characteristics and divide it into two separate groups and then take a sample from each group. An example could be taking soccer players with similar playing capabilities dividing that population into two groups and then selecting players from each of those groups.  ”

1-The key concept behind random sampling is getting an accurate representation by getting a wider variety of results. The main limitation to random sampling however is to get a spread that truly represents the entire population while also staying random. It is nearly impossible to stay random while also capturing a representation of the population as a truly random sample could just as easily have a group that all show the same result while the entire population would show another.

 

2-I really enjoyed reading your post. Random sampling can give researchers the most unbiased opinion of a study. Each individual that has been chosen for the study had an equal opportunity to be chosen. I really like how you described the limitations of random sampling, because the sample size can be to small and not have enough variation.

 

3-Random sampling is a method of sampling that is unbiased in way that allows for any sample to be chosen. Random sampling does have its limitations though one being that of having a small sample size which can affect the study. The other limitation is having a big group that has the same interest. For example taking a college and asking who their favorite college team is the chances are most will pick their school thus not giving the best results. In order to help prevent that it is important to have a large amount of people while also having the group be unbiased in a way that allows for a great variety in their choices in order to have the best results of random sampling.
