Week 1: Emerging and Re-emerging Infections Across the Lifespan

Introduction

Infections, if not treated properly, can lead to potentially fatal complications that otherwise could have been prevented. Unfortunately, patients who are sick or recovering from surgery are at greater risk of developing infections. While hospitals and other medical facilities have strict policies about cleanliness and have measures in place to help prevent the spread of infectious organisms, it is not always possible to be 100% effective. There is no firewall protection against viruses and potential infections from occurring in these health care settings. For this reason, it is critical that nurses and other medical workers be aware of potential hazards in order to recognize symptoms of infection.

This week, you will consider the many emerging and re-emerging infections that a patient may contract and examine how the quality of care provided by a nurse might help ameliorate the situation. Nurses have an obligation to learn about potential diseases or infections, their symptoms, and the best course for treatment. You will also review different types of infections and explore how nurses can improve the care provided.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Analyze emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases for nursing practice
  • Analyze emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in local communities
  • Analyze the role of the nurse in preventing and managing the impact of infectious diseases
  • Develop Fact Sheets on an infectious disease to use as a guide to improve public health

Discussion: Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases

As presented in this week’s readings, many individuals acquire infections in the community as well as during treatment in the hospital. As a nurse, it is important to know what is going on in the world. In addition to reading scholarly literature, reading the paper and watching the news helps to keep a nurse aware of what is going on currently. In addition, many organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) track current health trends and post updates on their websites, along with Fact Sheets to help educate, prevent, and treat new and re-emerging diseases. These Fact Sheets are made to be short and easy to read so that health care professionals and patients are more likely to read and understand the information.

For this Discussion, you will examine an emerging or re-emerging disease and the nurse’s role in prevention and management of the disease. Locate an article in a newspaper, in a lay magazine, or on an organizational website that discusses an emerging or re-emerging infectious disease that is currently affecting your community. Reflect on the article you selected and think about how the emerging or re-emerging disease might affect nursing practice.

By Day 3

Respond to the following:

Briefly summarize the article you selected and provide the reference. Then, address the following:

  • What implications does the disease have for nursing practice?
  • How does the emergence of this disease affect your personal practice?
  • Why do you think that this disease is emerging/re-emerging?
  • What is the nurse’s role in preventing and managing the impact of infectious diseases both from the patient and nurse perspective?

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old).

By Day 7

Read two or more of your colleagues’ postings from the Discussion question (support with evidence if indicated).

Respond with a comment that asks for clarification, provides support for, or contributes additional information to two or more of your colleagues’ postings.

Post a Discussion entry on three different days of the week. Refer to the Discussion Rubric found in the Course Information and Grading Criteria area.

Assignment: Emerging and Re-emerging Diseases Fact Sheet

Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” This is most definitely true when it comes to diseases and how to prevent and treat them. As a nurse, you are charged with teaching patients how to prevent infectious diseases and what to do if they become infected. A powerful tool in your arsenal is the Fact Sheet. Usually comprised of one page of easy-to-read content, these leaflets can be distributed easily and can effectively inform your practice.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Select one disease that is either emerging or re-emerging in the world today.
  • Research the disease using both scholarly and non-scholarly resources.
  • Determine your audience (patients, other nurses, schools, etc.) that you would want to share the Fact Sheet with.
  • Select pieces of information that are appropriate for your audience.

By Day 7

Submit: A 1- to 2-page Fact Sheet.

  • Indicate the audience on the Fact Sheet.
  • Give a brief history of the disease.
  • What are the implications of the spread of the disease?
  • How does one detect and prevent the spread of this disease?
  • How is this disease treated?

Your Fact Sheet should be visually stimulating, appropriate for your audience, and formatted with bullet points for easy reading.

Support your “facts” with references.

Note: Your Fact Sheet must be supported with at least three scholarly sources of evidence in the literature.

Week 2: Chronic Health Problems and the Link to Genetic Nursing Care

Introduction

Disease prevention can easily be considered the best path toward a cure, but there are some diseases to which many people are hereditarily more susceptible. Chronic health problems, many of which have yet to be cured, show up in hospitals and clinics frequently.

As medical research continues to actively search for cures and better treatment options, how can you as a nurse provide the best care possible for your patients? Do you know the risks related to misdiagnosis for a patient who suffers from a chronic disease? What can a nurse do to help the patient live comfortably with chronic diseases?

Health care continues to develop through research efforts that find new treatment options. In addition, advances in genetic and genomic connections to health and illness are influencing nursing practice and becoming a routine part of taking a patient’s family history. When a nurse notices a genetic predisposition to an illness, he or she can take the opportunity to begin educating the patient as well as being more aware of possible signs and symptoms of onset.

This week, you will explore strategies for providing better patient care to patients with chronic health problems and explore how genetics and genomics influence nursing practice.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Analyze genetics and genomics for nursing practice
  • Analyze the role of the nurse in addressing genetics and genomics for nursing practice
  • Analyze the ethical considerations relating to genetics and genomics for nursing practice

Discussion: Providing Genetic Nursing Care to Patients With Chronic Illnesses

There are several chronic health problems with genetic/genomic components that plague the population. These health problems are very difficult and challenging diseases to manage. Evidenced-based nursing practice must include genetic and genomic information when planning patient care. Nurses, through their knowledge and support, play an important role in positive patient outcomes when managing the challenges of these genetically linked diseases.

For this Discussion, you will consider applications of various topics to genetics and genomics. Review the Resources focusing on the application of genetics and genomics to nursing

Choose one of the following subtopics:

  • Pharmacogenomics and chronic illnesses
  • Genomics in patient assessment
  • Genetically competent care for those with chronic illnesses

Note: A different subtopic relating to genetics and genomics may be chosen with Instructor approval.

Locate at least one scholarly journal article that discusses your subtopic.

By Day 3

Week 3: Psychological Implications Resulting From Illnesses and Injuries Across the Lifespan

Introduction

Illnesses and injuries can arise from a variety of different situations and can result in psychological disorders. One psychological disorder that is a common complication of chronic illnesses is depression. Depression has many symptoms that can increase the risk of chronic and acute illnesses. Nurses can play a critical role in the prevention and treatment of depression by using strategies that are more holistic in nature.

Psychological implications can also arise when caring for patients with suspicious injuries or illnesses. Oftentimes, nurses notice signs and symptoms that may indicate physical abuse while conducting a health assessment interview or physical exam. Nurses have a responsibility in situations such as these to be an advocate for patients, ensuring that proper attention is paid not only to the injury or illness, but also to the psychological well-being of the patient.

This week, you will explore the leading causes of psychological implications resulting from injuries and illnesses across the lifespan. You will also examine how depression is manifested in different chronic illnesses. In addition, you will explore strategies nurses might use when advocating for patients with suspicious injuries.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Analyze patient care challenges in relation to illness or injury resulting from depression
  • Analyze patient care challenges in relation to suspicious illness or injury
  • Analyze strategies that nurses might use to address patient care challenges
  • Analyze nurses’ advocacy for patients in situational contexts
  • Analyze legal and ethical implications related to patient care challenges
  • Analyze mental health across the illness/injury continuum
  • Analyze the role of the nurse in working through mental blocks and depression associated with an illness or injury
  • Analyze medical and non-medical approaches for treating mental health
  • Synthesize aspects of nursing practice related to mental health

Discussion: Psychological Complications Resulting From Illnesses and Injuries

The nurse’s role goes far beyond that which is expected. Nurses are the main communicators between patients, doctors, and family, and they care for more than just physical ailments. Often, nurses are presented with difficult situations where being an advocate becomes paramount to the healing of the patient. One of the issues that patients with acute and chronic illnesses or extended hospitalization face is a tendency to become depressed. The nurse’s role in this situation requires more than just attention to the physical problem. Another situation where a nurse may need to shift his or her care is when a patient presents with a suspicious injury or illness. In addition to considering the legal and ethical responsibilities of the nurse, he or she must consider the psychological undertones that may be present.

For this Discussion, you will consider delicate situations that nurses often face and analyze the implications of these situations. Reflect on a patient care situation in which you have encountered one of the following:

  • A suspicious illness or injury
  • Depression resulting from illness or injury

Then, locate at least one scholarly journal article related to your patient care situation that offers strategies for managing the circumstances.

By Day 3

Respond to the following:

  • Explain your patient encounter, highlighting the challenges the situation presented, and briefly summarize the contents of your journal article.
  • What strategies did you employ to help handle the situation? What other strategies could you have used?
  • How did you advocate for the patient in the situation?
  • What are some of the legal and ethical implications that need to be considered when providing care for patients with depression resulting from illnesses or injuries or suspicious illnesses or injuries?

Note: Avoid using personal information (e.g., names, facility name, etc.) in your post.

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Assignment: How Illnesses and Injuries Affect the Mind

Health complications can be stressful, especially in more vulnerable populations like young children and the elderly. With stress and loss of function often come depression and other psychological manifestations. As a nurse, part of your job is to recognize and educate patients and caregivers on how to deal with the psychological complications of a health crisis.

In this Assignment, you will educate either a caregiver of an elderly patient or a caregiver of a young child patient on ways to prevent and manage psychological manifestations. Review the Learning Resources dealing with injuries and depression and anxiety.

The Assignment:

Develop a teaching plan for treating the potential psychological issues that may result from health crises in either the elderly or young children. You will use PowerPoint to present your teaching plan. Some considerations to make include:

  • In what ways does mental health need to be considered across the illness/injury continuum?
  • How can nurses help both patients and caregivers work through mental blocks and depression associated with an illness or injury?
  • Although treatment will take place in a medical facility, how can non-medical treatments be used as a supplement?

Support your idea with a minimum of three references from the professional nursing literature in the assigned course readings and other references in the Walden Library. If they are relevant, you may use one or two professional Web sites in addition to the literature references.

Include the main elements of your presentation to a group of parents or elderly or their caregivers. This PowerPoint presentation should include between 8–10 slides. It will be assessed using the Week 3 Assignment. Prior to submitting your Assignment, make sure to review the rubric, which is located in the Course Information area.

Week 4: Nurse/Patient Empowerment in Practice

Introduction

As a registered nurse, you have the power to influence change in patient outcomes. An important aspect of influencing change is identifying areas that need improvement. This is done primarily through measurement of data. There are several different measures to gather data within organizations as well as on a national scale. Some of these measurements include core measures, standards, best practices, evidence-based practices, and the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI). These support mechanisms have also been discussed as a means for helping nurses to deliver quality care and improve patient safety. Each measurement essentially focuses on providing care that is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable.

Although there are several different measurements, NDNQI data is used in the process of attaining Magnet Recognition. Magnet Recognition is the highest honor a health care organization can receive for nursing excellence and high-quality patient care. The nurse-specific measures presented in the NDNQI help inform nursing staffs and their organizations of areas where nursing practices can be improved and where nursing practice efforts are producing positive clinical outcomes. Nurses must be directly involved in developing and implementing action plans based on the data presented by the NDNQI.

This week, you will explore the importance of nurse empowerment in effecting change and how action plans are created based on the results of the NDNQI as presented on a dashboard. You will also consider how nurses advocate for patients’ rights, even when that means supporting a patient whose personal choices may have negative health outcomes.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Evaluate strategies to empower both the nurse and the patient to improve quality of care
  • Analyze the use of National Database of Nursing Quality Indictors for nurse empowerment in practice
  • Analyze nurse empowerment in relation to use of quality improvement data for practice
  • Analyze practice experiences for patient or nurse empowerment
  • Analyze quality improvement dashboards for nursing plans

Discussion: Nurse/Patient Empowerment

As a nurse, you are the individual who has the ability to empower patients in the decision-making process pertaining to their health care. In addition, you are in a unique position to empower your nursing colleagues to improve job satisfaction and use performance indicator data from dashboards to effect social change.

In this week’s Learning Resources, you examined both the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) and the key role nurses play as advocates for patient rights. To assist nurses in being better prepared for this role, programs such as Patient Care Partnership provide guidance.

For this Discussion, you will analyze the use of quality improvement data and discuss how this data can help empower both patients and nurses. Review the Patient Care Partnership information presented in this week’s Resources. In addition, reflect on the media presentation and the information shared by Ms. Manna on patients’ rights.

Week 4 Discussion

Assignment: Dashboard Analysis and Nursing Plan

As Dr. Rempher and Ms. Manna discussed this week, data from the NDNQI is used to improve nursing practices and support the strategic outcomes of an organization. This data is also used to create the Dashboard. The Dashboard, then, is used to create an action plan. Correctly interpreting information presented on the Dashboard provides nurses with a better understanding of the goals of the action plan.

To prepare

For this Assignment, use the Dashboard located in this week’s Resources, to interpret the data and frame a nursing plan based on best practices.

  • Review the Week 5 Assignment Rubric, provided in the Course Information area.
  • Review the Week 4 Resources that pertain to the NDNQI and use of dashboards
  • Choose a Nurse-Sensitive Quality Indicator that needs improvement based on the data presented in the Dashboard. Reflect on how you would develop a nursing plan with suggestions on how to improve performance in the chosen area.
  • Develop a nursing plan that outlines suggestions on how to improve performance in the chosen area.
  • Provide at least three best practices from evidenced-based literature to support your nursing plan.

Assignment

  • Draft a 3- to 4 page paper analyzing areas where there is good performance and areas of opportunity from the sample Dashboard.
  • Analyze the data provided in the Dashboard and select an area of performance that needs improvement. Include information on why this area was chosen.
  • Develop a nursing plan that includes suggestions on how to improve performance on the selected indicator. Be sure to provide at least three best practices from the evidenced-based literature to support your suggested nursing plan.

To go to the next week:

Week 5

Week 5: Holistic and Patient-Centered Care

Introduction

An important area in nursing practice is in palliative and end-of-life care. Palliative care provides a more holistic approach to patient care and attempts to slow the progression of a disease. Palliative care can include an array of non-pharmaceutical therapies such as massage therapy or yoga. It can also include shorter or smaller treatments aimed at reducing negative side effects.

End-of-life care is about the process of dying. Helping patients and their families through this time can be difficult yet rewarding. Patients deserve respect and quality care through this time as well. Like nurses who practice in palliative care organizations, hospice nurses are moving toward alternative therapies to aid in comforting the terminally ill patient. As more care is being delivered in the home, the role of the nurse in providing palliative and end-of-life care will continue to evolve.

This week, you will consider the emerging role of nursing in palliative and end-of-life care. In addition, the ethical issues nurses face with end-of-life care are examined. Finally, you will complete work on your Dashboard nursing plan Assignment.

To go to the next week:

Week 6

Week 6: Accountability for Clinical Outcomes and Promoting Safety and Quality

Introduction

Throughout your education, patient safety and improving the quality of patient care have been examined. Through numerous readings and media pieces, you have heard about Never Events. These are serious and costly medical errors that are preventable, such as wrong-side surgery, medication errors, and hospital-acquired infections. Each of these types of medical errors is preventable. The consequences of such errors are now financial as well as legal and emotional. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services no longer reimburse for medical errors classified as Never Events.

As a nurse, how can you help to prevent these types of medical errors? What is your accountability for clinical outcomes? There are standards and core measures in place that guide nursing practice. In addition, the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) examines those components of clinical care that are specific to nursing. The NDNQI quantifies, or assesses, these nurse-sensitive components and provides specific feedback on how well nursing practice is being executed in those areas related to patient care. NURS 4005/NURS 4006: Topics in Clinical Nursing

This week, you will consider a series of articles that focus on strategies for ensuring safety and quality care for patients. You will also explore how successful, efficient teamwork between nurses, nursing leaders, physicians, and other medical personnel can help prevent many of the Never Events from occurring and decrease the likelihood of such events in the future.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

  • Analyze the core measures and standards for nursing practice that promote patient safety and quality of care outcomes
  • Analyze the impact of the nurse’s role in clinical outcomes for organizations
  • Analyze nurse-specific challenges for influencing change in quality improvement
  • Analyze the role of the nurse in supporting the organization’s strategic agenda in improving clinical outcomes

Learning Resources

Prior Knowledge

It is not uncommon for students to be required to complete group projects or to work as part of a team. While obtaining your RN credentials, or at some time in your work career, you have more than likely at some point been part of a unit or a collaborative team. Reflect on that experience of working with others to achieve a common goal. How did the actions of your team members impact your success as a team? Consider how this same philosophy applies within an organization. How might the actions of the individuals influence the success of the organization?

Discussion: Promoting Safety and Quality

In the article “Managing to Improve Quality: The Relationship Between Accreditation Standards, Safety Practices, and Patient Outcomes,” the authors discuss the growing trend by medical insurance companies to eliminate reimbursement for Never Events. As these types of mistakes should be easily preventable, hospitals have developed protocols to lessen or extinguish the occurrence of these events. In addition, The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have developed core measures to guide health care providers’ efforts in improving patient safety and the quality of care delivered.

Health care organizations have developed strategic agendas to help meet these standards and reduce the incidence of Never Events. Nurses significantly influence the overall quality of health care provided and play a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes.

For this Discussion, you will consider the standards that are in place for nurses and how they can be used to improve quality of care.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the information at the Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services websites on the core measures and standards presented in this week’s Resources.
  • Consider the nurse’s role in supporting the organization’s strategic agenda as it relates to improving clinical outcomes.
  • Conduct an Internet search for either a Never Event or a core measure, and select one to address in your post.

By Day 3

Respond to the following:

  • How has the emphasis on quality of care, patient safety, and clinical care outcomes been impacted by specific standards emanating from TJC and/or CMS? Cite your selected core measure or Never Event in your response.
  • What is the impact of the nurse’s role in clinical outcomes for the organization?
  • Discuss nurse-specific challenges in influencing change in quality improvement.
  • How does this influence the ability of the organization to achieve its strategic agenda?

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations.
