DESCRIBE DIFFERING APPROACHES OF NURSING LEADERS AND MANAGERS TO ISSUES IN PRACTICE WHEN DISCUSSING NURSE-STAFFING RATIOS.

Comment 1

My executive summary will be on change of shift admissions and effects on patient care. Change of shift is a vulnerable time for both patients and nurses. During change of shift, critical informatin regarding patients is communicated to the on-coming nurse and ancillary staff. Interuptions during hand-off, including admissions and transfers may hinder the integrity of communication between nurses and delay the completion of critical patient-centered tasks. I would like to create a policy to decrease the flow of traffic during critical shift change times between the hours of 7:15am-8:15am and 7:15pm-8:15pm.

Comment 2

I would like to describe differing approaches of nursing leaders and managers to issues in practice when discussing nurse-staffing ratios. This is a big issue in the country because aside from California, legally mandated nurse-staffing ratios do not exist. When it is discussed in the hospital now, nursing supervisors discourage it by telling nurses that it is not all it’s cracked up to be. Some hospitals can go under due to the need to staff appropriately. When talking to a nurse who has worked under both situations, she has said that the cost of healthcare ends up declining in a good way because nurses are making less overworked mistakes and patient-satisfaction is up. This can be the big difference between managers and leaders in the big picture of things. Managers will listen to nursing complaints of being overworked beyond safe circumstances and the manager will simply say, “this is what you signed up for when you became a nurse,” like we’re soldiers complaining about being shot at when we chose to be a soldier. We signed up for nursing to care for patients and participate in the optimization of their help. Leaders will listen to nursing complaints and ask themselves what can they do to help. At the end of the day, if more people were leaders, nursing shortages may not exist. Nurses would be happier and stay in their positions longer.

Introduction to Health Care Economics & Financial Management

Chapter 7, “Cost Allocation and Cost-Finding”In their operating expense budgets, many health care settings budget and report indirect costs generated by departments that provide direct services. This chapter presents an overview of the allocation of indirect costs. The concepts of cost allocation and cost-finding are explained with examples from health care settings.
Chapter 8, “Break-Even Analysis”The break-even analysis calculates how much one should charge or how many patients must be seen to cover the cost of doing business in health care. This chapter addresses these factors and includes the calculation and application of the contribution margin as well as the importance of indirect and overhead costs.

Chapter 9, “Cost-Benefit Analysis and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis”Cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses are the focus of this chapter. This chapter will explain how you evaluate the benefits and resources used between two or more alternative interventions.

Plan of Action
Be prepared to discuss the steps you have taken as you have been laying the foundation for your capstone project. You will need to describe meetings or agreements (support commitments or negotiations) that have occurred or will occur. These meetings/agreements may include those with your preceptor, stakeholders, management, or executives in your organization. Your plan of action needs to provide a succinct explanation of what will occur to successfully implement your capstone project. You may not have a step-by-step plan at this point, but you should have a clear idea of actions that need to occur.

Timeline
Your timeline at this point should be an estimated timeline.

What evidence do we have that genetics play a role in intelligence?

/in /by

 

Intelligence tests were designed based on the belief that there are measurable differences in ability between individuals that can help to predict future performance. There has been a long-term debate on what the word intelligence really means and a more heated debate on how much of intelligence is a product of nature (genetics) and how much is contributed by nurture (environment). In this discussion, we will explore the arguments for each of those influences.
As you create your discussion post, consider the following:
What is intelligence?
What evidence do we have that genetics play a role in intelligence?
What evidence do we have that environment is also involved?
Over the last hundred years there has been a great deal of discussion and research that has tried to determine the relative influence of nature and of nurture on intelligence. The consensus today is that both make a strong contribution. Find one piece of evidence showing that nature (genetics) makes a contribution and one showing the influence of nurture (environment). Describe each of these pieces of evidence and explain why it supports the influence of either nature or nurture, as appropriate. What is the practical importance of understanding that intelligence is influenced by both factors?

evaluation by the dean of students at the college before I could continue practicing for track and cross country.

/in /by

Hi, my name is Julia Smith, and I am a freshman in college. I was referred for a health evaluation by the dean of students at the college before I could continue practicing for track and cross country. College life has me extremely stressed out. I am attending on a scholar-athlete scholarship, which requires that I maintain good grades and continue performing as a runner. Although academics has come easy for me in the past, college is more intense. I had to take finals, which reflected most of my grade and I’m not used to that. I just don’t want to get stressed out like that again, so I want to stay on top of it and study throughout the semester. I didn’t sleep much and was exhausted during that time. In order to make more time for studying, I had to stop hanging out so much with friends because I just don’t have time. Plus, when I would hang out with anybody they were always making comments about not eating enough. During the cross country season, my coach was disappointed in me because I was letting down the team. I had gained weight and was out of shape, which was affecting my running times. So, I had to change my eating habits and exercise a bit more. I’m only down to 103 pounds. I don’t want to get chubby again, like I have been for most of my life. I was able to run my best times ever, but I know that I can still improve. I just want to be left alone so that I can concentrate on school and running. Besides, now that cross country ended, I still have to stay in shape. Since I’m not practicing with the team as much, I just cut back on eating while exercising on my own so that I could be in shape for track next semester. This seems to be working for me. I’m pleased as I’m running great and my diet is working for me. All of this is probably coming from my mom because I recently saw her and all she did was nag me about not eating enough and exercising too much. I told her I was fine and that I was doing the same thing everyone else on the team was doing. She then took it upon herself to call the dean of students at the college, my coach, and roommate. I thought she would be proud of me because I’ve been able to keep up with my grades, but I guess not. If you could give me a call back, I would appreciate it so that I can continue running for the college. My phone number is 678-9786. Thank you!

Paper Cultural Competent Nursing 1

Paper Cultural Competent Nursing 1; Kendra K. Collins Cultural Competence in Nursing Care Jo Anne Long Walker, Instructor SOC 5820: Mgmt. & Admin. in Older Adult Settings February 16, 2015 Cultural Competence in Nursing Care The numbers of minorities in the United States has significantly increased within the last decade.

More specifically, older adults ages 65 and older also are becoming more culturally diverse. These changes in the population changes are also affecting the composition of facilities that care for older adults with functional limitations. Due to the fast growing number of minorities, nursing staff should begin to implement cultural competence to specifically meet the needs of their older patients.

According to McBride, cultural competence is the when health care professionals have the ability to deliver health care in ways that are acceptable and useful to older adults because it is consistent with their cultural background and expectations (2012). The crucial need to provide patients with culturally competent care was recognized by The American Nurses Association (ANA).

ANA has shown the need of cultural competent care by stating in the associations code that nurses, in all professional relationships, should practice with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every individual.

Communication across cultural differences is the key to nurses providing adequate care in our increasingly diverse society. In this article, I first will discuss why cultural competence in nursing care is important. I will then conduct a brief review of the cultural competence nursing literature, followed by an example of practicing cultural competence in nursing, a discussion of the model designed to assist nurses in providing cultural competent care, ways healthcare professionals can implement cultural competency, and pitfalls of providing cultural competent care. Cultural Competence in Nursing: Why its Important As mentioned in the introduction, being culturally competent in the nursing field is important, and there are several reasons why this type of care is important. When a nurse is knowledgeable about the patients and family’s expectations, traditions, values, norms, and lifestyle they are often able to provide care plans that are more effective at the beginning of service.

Murphy (2011) asserts that practicing with cultural competency is important- because culture influences not only affect how nursing staff provide care, but also how illness is perceived by older patients. An additional importance of providing cultural competent care in the article is knowing the patients ethnicity, which can offer genetic information that is commonly shared by people of the same ancestry.

For example, knowing how a disease will manifestation and how certain prescription medications will effect different cultural groups. Additionally, Murphy (2011) discusses how it is important to address attitudes to develop into a culturally competent caregiver. Being mindful of how individuals behaviors and thinking are influenced by their culture allows nursing staff best meet the need of patients. Being knowledgeable of specific ethnic groups rules communication patterns, family roles, rules of interaction, and spirituality will allow nursing staff to understand patient attitudes.

Furthermore, Murphy (2011) notes that when nursing staff become aware of their own attitudes and tendencies to stereotype with regard to different cultural groups allows you to provide genuine care and concern (2011). Lastly, another importance is mentioned in the article Caring for Minority Ethnic Older People in Nursing Care Homes. Authors Mold, Fitzpatrick, and Roberts (2005) suggest facilities are unable to meet the range of language, cultural, and religious needs of the population which creates problems in delivering the best quality care to ethnic elders.
