What is a “No Lift Policy”? A ‘no lift’ policy is one where staff are not asked to physically support the weight of those that they are assisting to transfer or move. Mechanical and other aids, such as slide boards, are used instead. A no lifting policy does not mean that every resident with mobility problems must have a hoist. However other methods and guidelines are imposed to reduce the risk of a patient, that reduces any risk or hazard for staff when the need to move a patient arises.
Provide an overview of the Meaningful Use program and an analysis of the implications for nurses, nursing, national health policy, patient outcomes, and population health associated with the collection and use of Meaningful Use core criteria. Recommend additional core criteria not presently identified for Meaningful Use collection in Stages 1 or 2 (lists of criteria may be found at cms.gov) that you feel would be beneficial for nurses, nursing, monitoring population health, setting national health policies, and/or improvements in patient outcomes or population health, providing your evidence for your recommendations. If you feel that no additional criteria are necessary, provide your evidence-based rationale for your argument. Conclude with insights gained from this assignment. A minimum of three outside scholarly resources are required—texts may be cited but are NOT included among the minimum of three outside scholarly resources.

Using the Communication Universal Protocol Standards outline by the Joint Commission, the areas that are not in compliance are identified in the chart below.

There is no area noted in pre-procedure hand-off to verify any required blood products, implants, devices, and/or special equipment needed for the procedure. 2. There is no area
They do not reside on any database. They are pieces of anecdotal evidence brought in by other nurses in the clinic. Appropriateness of Sources of Evidence AAP/AAFP, 2004 This article is appropriate because it directly addresses the issue of watchful waiting versus prescription of antibiotics for children with uncomplicated acute otitis media. Block, 1997 This article is not appropriate. It does not address watchful waiting as an alternative to antibiotics.
Another recommendation for the host facility would be to alter the method that medical services are provided. Other literature pointed out that the daily presence of a physician or mid-level health care providers decreased the number of hospital transfers of nursing home residents (Ackermann & Kemle, 1998; Joseph & Boult, 1998; Intrator, Zinn, & Mor, 2004). The mid-level provider could be a physician assistant or nurse practitioner. An experiment by Kane, Keckhafer, Flood, Bershadsky & Siadaty (2003) demonstrated that nurse practitioners managing a group of residents “prevented the occurrence of some hospitalizable events, but its major effect was allowing cases to be managed more cost-effectively” (p. 1430). From a cost standpoint to society and the government, the decreasing number of hospital transfers lowers the expense; however, to the facility, fewer Medicare days, lowers their revenues and abilities to improve their facilities, hire staff, and pay other expenses.
For example, I can delegate the task of emptying a catheter to a nursing assistant instead of having the nurse do it. Identifying the ability and skill is important as well. I will not be able to delegate a task of inserting an intravenous line if the nurse does not have training on it. To choose the right person we also need to consider the personality, reliability, and commitment because it can make the tasks of delegation easier. If a person is committed and reliable, then we know that the task will be done.
In the given case study, for instance, future provision of moderate sedation and additional backup must remain a mandatory exercise. Second, involves gathering of data and available evidence as a means of highlighting the occurrence of events, a behavior, or even condition (Clark &Taplin, 2012). According to most hospital regulations and ethics, when a patient begins to exhibit complications, it is upon the nurse and the ED physician to note the symptoms and offer appropriate treatment. Further examination of this scenario reveals a number of hazards/errors, i.e., shortage of qualified nurses, unfamiliar with appropriate medication dosages, the current procedure for conscious sedation was not followed, and the most fundamental hazard is the inability of the staff to prioritize and inform the administration (Nursing Supervisor) of the situation in the ED. The emergency department still failed to abide by medical ethics of practice.
