Finally, determine if the procedure would pass the "reasonable and prudent" standard of nursing, meaning would a nurse with the same education and training perform the task. You must have a valid order from the physician, documented competency for the procedure, and be willing to accept the consequences for your actions (Anderson, 2014). When introducing the new procedure to the physicians and fellow nurses, a few steps should be taken. First, make sure administration and nursing supervisors are on board with allowing this kind of change to be implemented so that a new policy can be written stating this procedure is within the scope of practice in order to protect the nurses who will be performing it. Mandatory skills classes or in-services regarding the new procedure would have to be implemented for all physicians and nurses that would be directly involved with it.
Evaluation Plan Beauty Sama Grand Canyon University NRS-441v Instructor: Dr. Joyce Morrison (Drj) Evaluation Plan The writer’s PICO question will change the policies and procedures in the hospitals in ultimate goal to reduce CAUTI in patients. This change will affect the outcome of patient care, with that in mind there is great need to evaluate the plan, making sure that although it is an administrative interventions all areas of this change is examine for patient safety. In the proposed solution, there are independent variables (see Appendix A) in the research are; materials used for catheterization, policies and procedures for catheter insertion and removal, and nursing and professional staff. The dependent variables,
Her care is not directly with the patient, but her job effects the patient directly. As stated by the infection control nurse, she deals with preventing hospital acquired infections by making sure all staff members follow the policies. When giving direct patient care, the staff nurse states she does this by having open and clear communication, listening and exceeding patient expectations. Each nurse has different experiences with the roles of other nurses. For example, the staff nurse and administration nurse states that the CNS is aware of populations with Interviews NVT2 Task #2 3
Of course in that scenario, a few other nurses should step in to help with the patient’s increasing needs. With the tests that are ordered, a radiology technician would arrive to do the x-ray. The nursing staff would do the EKG, and the respiratory therapist would do the
I choose the articles for Cerner, for the fact that my employer recently bought a contract with the company. I have grown accustomed to the changes, and know the pros and cons of the software. “Cerner is an integrated database that provides a comprehensive set capabilities allowing health care to electronically store, capture and access patient health information in both acute and ambulatory care setting.” (www.medicalrecords.com Feb. 2012). With this system our facility is able to keep up with the patients’ history even if they were not seen for years. This complex new system has ways of looking up patient history and pharmaceutical information if a drug is not known.
Secondly, I would write a journal article and have it published in the pharmaceutical’s bulletin to include a well-known nursing journal. These journal articles would contain the findings of the research and suggestions on how the nursing staff can help the patients improve the compliance of taking prescribed medication. Once the information is disseminated into the medical public, the nurses will apply the learned knowledge to their practice for the elderly patients who are taking congestive heart failure medication. First, the nurse will collect all the patients that are currently taking congestive heart failure medication and explain to them on a one-on-one basis the benefits of having reminders to comply with taking prescribed medications. Then nurse would also explain the pros and cons of the reminders and that the videotelephone reminders would be provided at no cost to the patient.

Patients health condition will be discussed as needed to assure maintenance level of knowledge. Patient will be monitored for adverse side effects and therapeutic benefit of medication. Evaluation Nurse will monitor patient for side effects. Patient will verbalize sighns and symptoms to report to MD/Nurse Patient will take medication as prescribed Patient will manage social and workplace goals with optimal
Once it is read back to the physician and both parties are in agreement, the order can then be processed. The “Seven Rights” of Medication Administration Most registered nurses learned about the "5 rights" early in their careers. The 5 rights (right drug, right client, right dose, right time and right route) have been incorporated in their nursing practice. Registered nurses also recognize they need to know the reason the drug is given — the right reason. The administration of medication is not complete until documentation has occurred — the right documentation.
Introduction Welcome to MJM Endocrinology Group, we are here today so I may provide everyone with some information on our organization and how we operate. Here at MJM we are all about quality care that our patients receive. Before we leave the office today you will have gained lots of important information as follow: the history of medicare and medicaid, the strengths and weakness of our organization and we deliver healthcare to our patients. How we receive the reimbursement for the service we provide. There is much more information that will be discussed but this is just some of the topics that we will hit on.
