What resources do you use to improve your awareness of your communication skills in the professional setting? What are the most effective communication skills that nurses bring to collaborative interactions? Why are those so important in your own practice?

1. How does the iris promote eye color as well as the dilation and constriction of the pupil?

2. What is the role of eyelashes when a foreign body invades the eye?

4. Explain primary, secondary, and congenital glaucoma —as well as closed-angle glaucoma and open-angle glaucoma.

1. What is the principal treatment for patients with open-angle glaucoma and the types of drugs used to control IOP?

2. What are signs and symptoms of glaucoma and appropriate nursing interventions.

3. A patient comes to the emergency department (ED) complaining of sudden headache, blurred vision, eye pain, and halos seen around white lights. He denies previous treatment of this problem. He states that he hit his head yesterday while fixing a bathroom sink. The nurse triages the patient and sends him immediately to the ED for further evaluation by the health care provider. What type of assessment should the nurse perform on this patient? Why does the nurse evaluate this patient’s complaint as a true emergency?

4. A patient with acute closed-angle glaucoma is prescribed IV mannitol, an analgesic, and an antiemetic. What should the nurse caring for the patient look for after the mannitol is administered? Why did the health care provider order an analgesic and antiemetic? What type of environment should the nurse set up for this patient?

If the goal is how to develop reliability and resilience in health care systems while embedding a vision of zero avoidable harm into the culture of health care is it possible to reach "zero harm".

Describe what achieving this goal requires(what does an organization have to do).

• Case Study

Read the following case study and answer the questions that follow:

Grace Speak is a fourth-year student at Best University. She and her fellow classmates are working hard in their final courses and preparing for exams. Inspired by the teamwork that the healthcare profession espouses, Grace gets an idea for a study group. She thinks it will really help to share case experiences, course notes, and study tips. Unfortunately, several members of her peer group live out of town, which makes it difficult for them to participate fully. Grace is torn, as she does not want to exclude them from the study group. When she voices her concerns to a classmate, her friend suggests using social media tools as the primary medium for sharing information.

Questions

1. Two required elements that a single social media site must have to meet the needs of her study group are the ability to share ideas and experiences (chat), and share information (store documents). Research several social media sites that meet both of the required elements for Grace’s group. Select one social media tool, include its website, and explain your rationale for selecting that tool.

Selected Social Media Tool (and website)

Rationale

2. Grace discovers that not all of the members of the group use the social media tool she selected. In your own words, create a set of simple instructions that other members of the group could follow to ensure full group participation.

[Write your response here.]

3. Grace decides to establish a set of “ground rules” from the outset when she forms the study group. Create a set of “ground rules” that will help to create a group with full participation by all members and that will not place members of the group at risk, for either privacy or academic (plagiarism) concerns. Provide your reasoning for the “ground rules” you established.

Rationale

4. In a specific week, the assignment is particularly challenging. One of the students in the study group offers to post the “answers” he received from a student who completed this same assignment last year from the same instructor. Grace knows that one of her close friends in the study group is at risk of failing if she does not do well on this assignment. Describe how Grace might handle this situation to reduce the academic risk of plagiarism for herself, her friend, and other members of the study group.
