We could bring up the case as a sample to demonstrate what we are discussing about. However, adding a question to prove our point is not recommended in academic writing. The subject line information to identify the situation has to be included on the head of the memo. In addition, clarity, correctness, and courtesy are very important and they represent for our efforts. The memo should be clearly written and organized in direct order, beginning with the objective and then systematically and covering the vital bits of information (Rentz, 2008).
Research Critique, Part 1: A qualitative study relating to the experiences of people with MS: differences by disease severity Annamma Thomas Grand Canyon University: NRS-433V: History and Process of Nursing Research, Evidence-Based Nursing Practice, Quantitative and Qualitative Research Process February 24, 2013 Problem Statement One of the main characteristics of Multiple Sclerosis is the differences where lesions arise on the body. As the disease progresses a variety of symptoms and severities occur for each patient. It is unknown what truly causes Multiple Sclerosis and what the best combatant for this disease is.

Carers of people with dementia need more support and advice to tackle the difficult ethical dilemmas that they face on a daily basis, says the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in a major report today. The report sets out an ethical approach to dealing with these dilemmas, and makes policy recommendations aimed at improving the lives of people with dementia and their carers. Professor Tony Hope, chair of the Working Party that produced the report and a psychiatrist with many years of experience of working with people with dementia said: “I know from the families I talk to that it is often the little things that are the most distressing. For example, one lady we spoke to had to lie to her husband to get him to the day care centre, which
Nursing Documentation and Malpractice Law HCS/545 Health Law and Ethics May 31, 2010 Mary Nell Cummings Nursing Documentation and Malpractice Lawsuits Proper medical documentation can prevent liability issues and malpractice lawsuits. The focus on my paper will concentrate on nursing documentation and malpractice lawsuits. I presently work for a home health care agency. The entire staff throughout the company was recently informed of increased Medicare denials and possible lawsuits as results of inadequate documentations. A series of education training of documentation was implemented to help reduce episodes of Medicare payment denials and self-protection through adequate documentation.
A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF AN EPISODE OF NURSING CAREMODULE TITLE: NURS 6032STUDENT NO: 25048015COMPUTER ISS: ran1m12WORD COUNT (excluding text box): 3598 | A Critical Analysis of an Episode of Nursing Care Introduction The subjective interpretation of the criteria for service in Mental Health Organisations by clinicians can sometimes prevent people with possible mental health issues from accessing the service. The text box below gives an insight into an assessment of a service user in the presence of the student nurse. This essay sets out to critically analyse the episode of care given to this service user with regards to the way she was assessed for possible mental health issues, and relates when the subjective interpretation of a criteria for service was a barrier for engaging her into the service she came to seek help from. It starts with a comprehensive description of the assessment carried out by a Senior Nurse Practitioner, examines the role of nursing in people’s mental health, the meaning of a comprehensive and holistic assessment and includes the critical reflections of the student nurse on this assessment session based on her observations using Driscoll (2007) framework of refection. Description of the Assessment *Miss Frances is a pseudonym for the purposes of service user’s confidentiality and in line with the NMC Code of Conduct (2008).
According to Laureate Education (2010) nursing informatics is a major player in continuum of care and it consists of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. The goal of this paper is to address Parkinson’s disease early onset symptoms, what is its relationship in the four-step continuum process, and how informatics plays a vital role in attaining wisdom on caring for this particular disease process. Disease Early Onset Symptoms In home health, I have seen a significant increase of patients diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD). A five stage classification scale from Hoehn and Yahr is used to classify PD symptoms based on severity and disease progression. At stage I, the disease progression is usually slow in onset with mild tremors affecting one side of body.
Mitigating Lateral Violence: Design for Change in Practice Stacy Lacaillade Chamberlain College of Nursing NR451 Capstone Course 28 November, 2010 Design for Change in Practice Evidenced based practice (EBP) is an empowering process for improvement in the health care professions. Rosswurm and Larrabee (1999) credit the research studies which used meta - analysis, randomized clinical trials and systematic studies of patient outcomes over the last few decades as having started this shift from the “tradition of intuition – driven practice…to the new paradigm of evidenced based practice” (p.318). However, evidence has encountered a certain amount of difficulty being implemented into practice, thereby necessitating the use of a model when implementing a change based on evidence into practice. This paper will discuss the six steps in the Rosswurm and Larrabee (1999) model for implementing change as they apply to the necessary change of mitigating lateral violence in the nursing work place. Step 1: Assess This step of the change process begins with the identification of a problem.
A Critical Appraisal of a Qualitative Study Grand Canyon University Introduction to Nursing Research NRS-433V September 17, 2014 A Critical Appraisal of a Qualitative Study Problem Statement The clinical problem and research problem that led to the study is identifying the effectiveness of rapid response teams (RRTs) functionality. It was noted, “most of the research on response teams has focused on tracking and reporting the hospital outcomes” (Leach & Mayo, 2013, p. 199). The researchers of this study believe that assessment of the actual functionality of the RRTs performance can lead to a better understanding of RRTs that can lead to fine tuning the education required to improve their performance when responding to a critical
