What data could you use to support changes in a nursing program?

Patient Introduction Location: Medical-Surgical Unit 2315 Report from day shift nurse: Situation: Christopher Parrish is an 18-year-old male who was admitted at 1900 today. His mother visited him at his college dormitory and was very concerned with his health; he seemed weak and had lost weight since she last saw him. She took him to see his primary care provider, and the provider admitted him and has ordered a tube feeding. I placed an 8-Fr, 42-inch feeding tube in his right nares about an hour ago, and x-ray just called and confirmed placement in the stomach. The pump is in his room. He is up to the bathroom prn; otherwise bed rest. Background: Christopher was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a child and has had frequent hospitalizations previously. He reports fatigue and has recently lost 6 kg (13.2 lb) after he registered at the local college and moved to live in a dormitory. Chris's mom was here earlier, but she is a single parent and has two younger boys, so she had to go home. Assessment: Christopher is awake and alert. His heart rate and rhythm are regular at 80–85/min. Breath sounds are fine with a respiratory rate at 18/min. His color is a bit pale. Blood pressure is 118/78 mm Hg. He reports no pain and states he's not had much appetite the past few weeks. His belly is flat and nontender. Bowel sounds are normoactive. Recommendation: Christopher is due for vital signs and assessment. The tube feeding just arrived, and you will need to start it on the pump. He needs 720 kilocalories over 8 hours overnight. His regular diet is high calorie, high fat, but he wasn't too hungry this evening; just had a bit of his chocolate shake. You will need to give his pancreatic enzymes orally before you start the tube feeding. You should also assess his diet and reinforce patient education on nutrition. what are the assessment objective and subjective. Expected outcomes . Interventions nurse does . Rationale (because). Evaluation (did EO happen?).

what do we learn from ethics class and what is the most surprising thing that you learned from the ethics class?

As a nurse explain the importance of these.

1.Health promotion and maintenance, including early detection

2.Illness prevention

3.Diagnosis and treatment

4.Rehabilitation and long-term care

5. Secondary care services

6. Tertiary care service

7. Quaternary care

This week as we explore cultural diversity it is important to realize the impact culture plays in health promotion. It is essential that we become culturally competent to ensure we provide the best possible care and services to all of the patients we serve regardless of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Culture is embedded in one’s worldview and perception about health yet we often overlook how culture plays a role in an individual’s health outcomes. In this week’s discussion, you will choose a vulnerable population (based on a cultural group, race, ethnicity, gender, etc), find a journal article (less than five years old) that pertains to the chosen cultural group, and answer the following questions:

1. From the vulnerable population, you selected, please describe in paragraph form including how their belief systems and view of health are impacted. Be sure to include a minimum of one socioeconomic factor and one regional and ethnic factor that should be considered when evaluating the health promotion needs of this population.
2. Define health disparity in your own words and describe one health disparity that affects or can affect the culture you have selected?
3. From the health disparities, you identified in prompt two, which of these would be of the highest priority to screen for in your assessment of this individual?

The topic for the final exam is, "Describe How the HMO's shifted and pivoted their services during the current COVID-19 Pandemic".  Some of the services included, telehealth, virtual visits, COVID testing, patient care, patient education, crisis hotlines, case management outreach services, relaxed HIPPA rules, etc.

Case 1:
A 45-year-old man with a history of depression presented to the ED with the complaint of feeling suicidal. The patient had cut himself after an argument with his wife. His family called 911; the police and EMS responded and transported him to the ED. The initial suicide screening revealed that the patient did not want to live and intended to kill himself. Because of this initial screening, the ED nurse initiated “high risk behavioral health precautions.” The physician ordered labs, suicide precautions with one-on-one observation, and evaluation by the on-call mental health counselor. Everyone agreed that the patient was at high risk of suicide and would require inpatient psychiatric admission.

The medical record showed that the patient was “placed in a gown and a safe ED room” and that suicide precautions were initiated. The ED nurse charting — performed at 15-minute intervals — indicated that security was at the patient’s bedside. While awaiting psychiatric admission and after several hours of observation, security briefly left the patient’s room; they returned to find the patient unresponsive, cyanotic, and hanging from the cardiac monitor with the monitor wires wrapped around his neck. The patient did not survive despite a code blue resuscitation.

Question 1. What went wrong?

Question 2: What should have happened?

Case 2:
Before a thorough evaluation could take place, a suicidal patient in the ED started screaming at the nurses that she wanted to leave. The patient was restrained supine by all four limbs. The 2 beds in the ED designated for behavioral health patients were full, so they put the patient in a procedure room, away from the nurse’s station. Since the patient was screaming and yelling, the ED staff was happy to isolate the patient in a room. The staff allowed her to keep her clothes on so as not to agitate her any further. They did not find weapons on her, but they also did not perform a diligent search for other objects that could be used to inflict harm.

Question 3. What went wrong?
Question 4: Review TJC National Patient Safety Goal
A.   Identify the specific goals that addresses suicide
B.   Research and review the elements of performance for the standard

Hemolyzed: The condition of serum or plasma that contains hemoglobin from broken RBCs.
Now, give (3) tests that will have a falsely increased result if a hemolyzed sample is used and give at least three (3) tests that will have a falsely decreased result if a hemolyzed sample is also used.

Kindly enumerate the tests and briefly discuss why is that your answer.
