Evaluating Interdisciplinary Collaboration Skills

EXPLORES THE MEANING OF INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION.

Evaluating Interdisciplinary Collaboration Skills
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.—Vince LombardiCollaboration is a critical component of quality improvement. It is also a central tenet of your endeavors as a scholar-practitioner in this Walden University Master’s program. To succeed in your role as a nurse leader-manager, it is important to engage in ongoing development of collaborative skills and to help foster a culture that values collaboration.In Weeks 1 and 2 of this course, you analyzed your strengths and considered how to leverage these strengths for effective leadership. In a similar vein, this week you evaluate your strengths and areas for growth with regard to interdisciplinary collaboration.

To prepare:Review the competencies described in the Interprofessional Education Collaborative report and in Chapter 9 of the Hickey and Brosnan text.

As you reflect on the competency statements outlined for each domain, think about which ones reflect your strengths. Which competency statements point to areas for growth?Consider the benefit of working with interdisciplinary teams for addressing quality improvement initiatives.Conduct a search of the literature and select at least one article that illustrates the benefits of interprofessional collaboration for nurse leader-managers as it relates to improving quality.

What Should You Eat?

Topic: What Should You Eat?

You probably want to live a long and healthy life on this earth. What  are you willing to do to make that possible? Here is an assignment that  can improve the quality of what you eat, and hence, the quality of your  life. Let’s develop the rudiments of a maintenance diet for you—a desirable, workable, realistic, non-faddish maintenance diet—one you follow permanently. You have several reference sources:
– the Bible’s many prescriptive texts regarding nutrition (ignore “descriptive” texts)

– your textbook’s chapter on biomolecules; how they are built and used

– the course Presentation entitled “Biomolecules and Nutrition”

– trustworthy sources such as

– USDA MyPlate:  https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist

– the Mayo Clinic website.  http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle

– Very Well website (David Katz’ site):  https://www.verywell.com/

– Web MD:  http://www.webmd.com/diet/default.htm

The foods you select will contain the same classes of biomolecules that  you read about in your textbook: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins,  nucleic acids, vitamins, and minerals.  Use the following procedure to  build your diet.

For your Thread:
1.  Click on the link below.  This will give you a Word document “work  table” to add your foods to.  You may wish to print a copy for research  purposes.

What Should I Eat – Work Table.docx

2.  Go to the “My Plate Check List Calculator https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist-input   Enter your data to determine how many calories your daily diet should contain. Record this number in your work table.
3.  Now go to the USDA MyPlate web site: https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist  In  the Table, about the middle of the page click on the box representing  your caloric needs.  Some serving amount data will pop up allocated into  5 food groups.
4. Record the suggested serving amounts in your  work table to give quantitative values to the categories you will build  your diet around.

“What Should I Eat?” – Work Table:

Total Calories:

*as a generalization

5.  Start to choose foods using the guideline comments given on the webpage.   Use other web pages listed above to get commentary on foods you think  (!) are healthy for you.  Here are two useful ones to give you ideas:

https://www.verywell.com/macronutrients-made-simple-4128991 , https://www.verywell.com/the-basics-of-a-healthy-balanced-diet-2506675

6.   Delete the sample foods listed in the “Fruits” category.  They are  there to show you the format for your own additions.  List specific  foods that you would eat for each group according the numbers indicated  in the first column. The second column of the table will help you with  your category accuracy.  Do not reuse any food under a second category.  You will thus select 50 foods for your diet—not a huge variety, but it’s  a start!  “Leafy greens” or “seafood” are food categories, not   specific foods.
7.  “Mouse over the upper left-hand corner of  the table to find the tiny navigation box and click on it.  This  highlights (“selects”) the whole table.  Copy it to your computer’s  “clipboard”.  You can now paste this table into the “Message Box” of  your open “Thread” in the discussion board.  Along with your table, you  may submit up to two prescriptive Bible passages that you feel most  constrain your dietary thinking.

Hints:

•     Your goal is always to improve your own list. Please include about 70  words for your diet (50 foods, some hyphenated as needed) with space  left over for two Bible verses for a total of 120 words.  That’s your limit!

•    Foods differ in their density of a wide variety of nutrients as  compared to just the calories they give you.  Which sweet would be  better for you:  hard candy or a fig bar?
•    What is in the food item you’ve selected? Check out:  http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/  to find out.
•    Suppose Mayo Clinic wisdom and Biblical wisdom seem to conflict.  Which source will you defer to and why?

Explain the importance of monitoring plateau pressures and its use in calculating static compliance

Learning Objectives Covered:

1. Explain the importance of monitoring plateau pressures and its use in calculating static compliance

2. Explain the use of volume-controlled ventilation and pressure-controlled ventilation

3. List and describe ventilatory support treatment plans for patient’s based on their clinical diagnosis

Background

Compliance is a measurement of the distensibility of the lung or the ability of the lung to distend. It is expressed as a change in volume divided by a change in pressure using the standard units of Liters/cmH20. The normal lung + thorax compliance of an adult is around 0.1 L/cmH20. When the compliance is low, more pressure will be needed to deliver a given volume of gas to a patient. Diseases that cause low lung compliance are classified as restrictive diseases and include Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary edema, pneumonectomy, pleural effusion, pulmonary fibrosis, and pneumonia among others. Emphysema is a typical cause of increased lung compliance.

When measuring lung compliance one must know the delivered tidal volume and must also know the change in alveolar pressure that results from the addition of that known tidal volume. Alveolar pressure is the pressure in the distensible parts of the respiratory tract and is determined by the tidal volume and the lung/chest compliance. Airway pressure is the pressure measured at the patient’s airway during mechanical ventilation. Airway pressure is equal to alveolar pressure when there is no occurrence of airflow. At the end of a mechanical inspiration, flow to the distal parts of the lungs continues even after inspiratory flow from the ventilator stops, as time is required for gas to reach the periphery of the lung. To measure alveolar pressure, one must measure the airway pressure at a time when both pressures are equal, i.e. when there is no flow.

We normally assume that alveolar and airway pressure starts out at atmospheric (our zero reference) before an inspiration starts. To equalize airway and alveolar pressures, we only have to prevent exhalation after inspiration has ceased by utilizing an inspiratory hold maneuver. The actual calculation is to divide the delivered tidal volume by the plateau pressure where the plateau pressure is the steady-state pressure measured during an inspiratory hold maneuver. Since approximate values are adequate for clinical use, clinicians use the plateau pressure minus the end expiratory pressure that is then divided into the exhaled tidal volume as measured by the ventilator. This compliance measurement is referred to as static compliance since it is measured after an inspiratory hold and there is no gas flow during its measurement.

Cstatic =                    exhaled VT (ml)                                    Pplat (cmH2O) – PEEP (cmH2O)

Where:

VT – Tidal Volume

Pplat = Plateau Pressure

A spontaneously breathing person has a normal compliance of approximately 100mL/cmH2O. In intubated patients, normal compliance is approximately 50mL/cmH2O.

Volume Control Ventilation is a type of ventilation in which a clinician sets a constant preset volume that is delivered to the patient’s lungs. In order for volume to remain constant with each breath, if compliance or airway resistance is changed then the ventilator changes the amount of pressure needed to deliver the breath. In other words, pressure will adjust to ensure that the preset tidal volume is delivered. For example, a patient receiving mechanical ventilation has developed congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure is a restrictive disorder that results in pulmonary edema filling the interstitial spaces of the lungs. The edema makes inflating the lungs difficult. Since the ventilator is set to deliver a specific tidal volume, the pressure needed to deliver the tidal volume will be increased because the pressure needed to overcome elastic compliance is increased. Using excessive pressures to deliver ventilatory support increases the risk of injury to the lungs. This type of injury an is referred to as barotrauma. Barotrauma is injury to the lungs as a result of pressure changes. A specific type of injury that commonly occurs during delivery of mechanical ventilation is a pneumothorax, which is a rupture of one or both lungs.

The pressure used to overcome both elastic compliance (of the lungs and chest wall) and airflow resistance of the airways is referred to as the Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP or Ppeak). Peak inspiratory pressure is the maximum pressure in the circuit reached during delivery of a mandatory breath from a ventilator. Therefore, if volume remains constant then pressure must be adjusted to ensure that the set tidal volume is delivered despite any changes that occur in the lungs. The advantage of volume control ventilation is that alveolar ventilation remains constant so PaCO2 is not affected. During volume control ventilation, a minimum minute ventilation can be guaranteed which is useful when stabilizing ventilation.

Pressure Control Ventilation is a type of ventilation in which the ventilator delivers an inspiration until a preset pressure is reached. During pressure control ventilation, pressure is limited and if the compliance or airway resistance is changed then the volume of air delivered is changed. In other words, the preset pressure will not be exceeded but the tidal volume will change depending on changes that occur in the lungs. Take for example a patient who has developed secretions in the airway. Secretions accumulate in the airways and cause airflow resistance. The more airflow resistance that is encountered on inspiration the more pressure that is needed to overcome the obstruction. Think of pressure as a driving force. Inspiratory pressure overcomes the resistance and compliance of the lungs to inflate the lungs so the lungs can be filled with air. However, in pressure control ventilation the delivered pressure is limited. Once the set pressure is reached inspiration is terminated. This may result in the lungs may not being fully inflated which means less air delivered to the lungs with smaller tidal volumes. The more airway resistance affecting the lungs the less volume of air will be delivered. The same works for compliance. The lower the compliance (stiffer lungs) the less volume of air will be delivered.

Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Nursing Practice Paper

Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Nursing Practice Paper

I need a 8 page paper. This paper is related to my previous paper and I will provide the paper once you accept this paper. The paper needs to be written in APA format.

For this assignment, you will be further defining your Phenomenon of  Interest within a theoretical and ethical framework.  The same  Phenomenon of Interest (POI) identified in your first written paper  should also be used for this assignment.  You will begin this paper by  providing a concise description of your POI, this information should be a  short summary of information your presented in your first paper.
Next, you will  discuss the Fawcett’s Meta-paradigm of Nursing and  relate the paradigm directly to your POI. How do the four concepts  within the meta-paradigm relate to your POI? Is one more important? Do  all four have the same level of importance?  You should support this  section with peer reviewed references as appropriate.  Specifically  identify the components of the meta-paradigm within your discussion. Be  sure to reference the meta-paradigm with the primary source.
Then, you will select both a Grand nursing theory as well as a Middle  range nursing theory.  Take time to review several examples of each type  of theory as the selected theories need to “fit” your POI…and work  well together.
Grand  nursing theory discussion:  identify and discuss the  inter-related concepts from your selected theory.  What aspects of the  nursing meta-paradigm are addressed by your grand theory?  Then provide  information about how you will view your POI through the lens of the  grand theory.  How does the theory guide your assessment of the POI?   How does the theoretical framework chosen categorize or define your POI?  How does the theoretical framework effect your perception of the POI?
Middle range nursing theory discussion: identify and discuss the  inter-related concepts within the middle range theory.  What aspects of  the nursing meta-paradigm are addressed in the mid-range theory? How  will this theory guide your assessment/perception of the POI?  How does  this mid range theory relate to your grand theory?
Complexity science: how does complexity science relate to your POI?   Depending on the nature of your POI, this conversation may have  different foci for different students.  For example, if your POI is  glycemic management of the peri-operative patient, this discussion would  center on the complex responses of the human body as a Complex Adaptive  System.  If your POI is focused on a policy change issue, the focus may  be on organizational complexities with communication, change, etc.  Identify a specific Complex Adaptive System that is related to your  chosen POI and discuss how complexity science impacts this portion of  your POI.
Ethical framework:  you should discuss your specific POI in the context  of ethical principles.  Basic principles include autonomy, justice,  beneficence, and non-maleficence. Is your POI in violation of a core  ethical principle?  Is it possible it may be in violation?  What ethical  principles do you need to be sure to safeguard?  You should also  identify a specific Ethical Framework that will guide your  practice…Virtue ethics, Utilitarianism, the ANA Code of Ethics, are  examples of an ethical framework.
Conclusion:  this section should not contain any new information but  should only provide a summary of what what discussed in the paper.

Practices that nurses can employ to facilitate a healthy lifestyle

Please write a response to the following discussion in one or two paragraphs, the response requires one reference form peer-reviewed nursing journal not older than 5 years (from database not the internet).
The health literacy issues among the vulnerable are many time lows. Patients within these populations are struggling to provide basic care and necessities for themselves and their families. Many times their health status is left on the ‘back burner’ and they may not understand how everyday lifestyle choices affect their health.
Practices that nurses can employ to facilitate a healthy lifestyle for these vulnerable populations are providing generic care that can be defined culturally, according to De Chesnay. Another practice of nurses should be bridging a gap between the patient’s care and education.  It is important to educate the patient to their health or better understanding and improve compliance to treatments. This is an important practice for nurses to employ with patients, especially of vulnerable populations because patients are more likely to manage their conditions and use preventative services. Informed patients are better equipped to make more conscious decisions about their health regardless of their vulnerability in life. Knowledge and educating patients is truly important.

B. The article “Why Isn’t Servant Leadership More Prevalent?” poses the question, “But if servant leadership is as effective as portrayed in recent research, why isn’t it more prevalent?” Using what you have learned about the principles of servant leadership and your own experiences, address this question. Use examples to support your hypotheses.

Module 2 – Case
THE PHYSIOLOGY OF STRESS
Assignment Overview
The Endocrine System and Chronic Disease
Endocrine disorders span a range of conditions, from diabetes and thyroid disease to stress-related conditions. Stress has been linked to a number of health problems with the most recent evidence, suggesting its involvement in male infertility, allergies, and headache.
During the normal stress response, hormones are secreted by the adrenal glands, causing several physiological effects, but chronic stress can result in continual release of these hormones, leading to serious mental and physical health problems.
In the following video, the role of stress on causing chronic, non-communicable diseases like heart disease (hypertension), metabolic syndrome, and infertility is discussed.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUqJ-AKSsuE

Identify objectives that will combat childhood and adolescent obesity.As you discovered in this week’s lectures and readings, several populations face multiple health risks across their lifespan.

As you discovered in this week’s lectures and readings, several populations face multiple health risks across their lifespan. Children and adolescents are a population that is at a higher health risk for obesity. A national movement is underway to reduce risk factors for developing obesity in children. Part of this movement is the “Let’s Move!” campaign, which is a comprehensive and coordinated initiative to prevent childhood obesity. The initiative emphasizes four primary components: healthy schools, access to affordable and healthy food, raising children’s physical activity levels, and empowering families to make healthy choices.

Review Healthy People 2020. Identify objectives that will combat childhood and adolescent obesity.
Provide suggestions on how community health nurses can contribute to these national health objectives and accomplish the goal of decreasing obesity among this population.
