Assessment 2 MSN 6021 Assessment 2 Consider how to help a patient experiencing traumatic stress or anxiety over hospitalization

Scenario

Consider the current environment. This could be your current care setting, the care settings presented in the Vila Health: Using Evidence to Drive Improvement or Vila Health: Concept Maps as Diagnostic Tools media, or a care setting in which you are interested in working.

For the setting that you choose you will need to have a data set that depicts sub-optimal outcomes related to a clinical issue. This data could be from existing sources in the course (Vila Health: Using Evidence to Drive Improvement), a relevant data set that already exists (a data set from the case study you used as a basis for your Concept Map assessment, or from your current place of practice), or an appropriate data set that you have created yourself. (Note: if you choose to create your own data set, check with your instructor first for approval and guidance.)

After you have selected an appropriate data set, use your understanding of the data to create at least one realistic goal (though you may create more) that will be driven by a change strategy appropriate for the environment and goal.

Potential topics for this assessment could be:

Consider ways to help minimize the rate of secondary infections related to the condition, disease, or disorder that you focused on for your Concept Map assessment. As a starting point you could ask yourself, “What could be changed to facilitate safety and minimize risks of infection?”

Consider how to help a patient experiencing traumatic stress or anxiety over hospitalization. As a starting point you could ask yourself, “How could the care environment be changed to enhance coping?”

Once you determine the change you would like to make, consider the following:

What data will you use to justify the change?

How can the team achieve this change with a reasonable cost?

What are the effects on the workplace?

What other implementation considerations do you need to consider to ensure that the change strategy is successful?

How does your change strategy address all aspects of the Quadruple Aim, especially the well-being of health care professionals?

Once the change strategy is implemented, how would you evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the care system if the desired outcomes are met?

Instructions

Your assessment submission should include a data table that illustrates the current and desired states of the clinical issue you are attempting to improve through your application of change strategies. Additionally, you will need to explain the rationale for your decisions around your chosen change strategies, as well as how the change strategies will be successfully implemented. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your change strategy addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Change Strategy and Implementation scoring guide and Guiding Questions: Change Strategy and Implementation to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.

Develop a data table that accurately reflects the current and desired states of one or more clinical outcomes.

Propose change strategies that will help to achieve the desired state of one or more clinical outcomes.

Justify the specific change strategies used to achieve desired outcomes.

Explain how change strategies will lead to quality improvement with regard to safety and equitable care.

Explain how change strategies will utilize interprofessional considerations to ensure successful implementation.

Communicate the change plan in a way that makes the data and rationale easily understood and compelling.

Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.

Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

Assessment 2 Example [PDF].

Additional Requirements

Length of submission: 3–5 double-spaced, typed pages, not including the title and reference pages. Your plan should be succinct yet substantive.

Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3–5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports your goal setting, proposed change strategies, quality improvement, and interprofessional considerations. Resources should be no more than five years old.

APA formatting: Use the APA Paper Template linked in the Resources. An APA Template Tutorial is also provided to help you in writing and formatting your analysis. No abstract is required.

During a code, I’ve seen families have to make difficult decisions for their loved ones. The choice was between keeping the patient intubated and not being their old self again, or removing them from life support. Imagine having a 29-year-old daughter who was pregnant and had four other children, and she had a seizure while in labor. This then justifies taking the patient into the operating room for an emergency c-section. During the procedure, the patient had multiple seizures, lost a lot of blood, and coded four times on the table. Four hours after receiving several units of RBC, plasma, and platelet, the patient became stable enough to be transferred to the ICU. She coded three more times while on the unit, and her mother was present. The doctor went to talk to the patient’s mother the last time he coded in order to make a difficult decision. Despite her asystole, the mother wanted us to continue working on the patient. We had been working on her for 6 hours when the doctor had to call the time of death. Certain decisions are difficult to make when the patient has not completed advance directives. “Nurses must advocate for patients’ autonomy and rights.” (20 common examples of ethical quandaries in nursing + how to handle them) End-of-life decisions are difficult not only for families, but also for those who must bring them to the attention of the families.
A dilemma is a common problem in nursing. Nurses are frequently placed in difficult and uncompromising situations. Giving a patient health advice or making a decision about care. (Difficulties in Nursing, 2022) Because of chronic pain, a patient refused to have an x-ray taken at his or her bedside. The patient has several decubitus, and because the film will need to be placed underneath the patient’s back, it will cause additional pain and pressure. As nurses, we must explain why and why the x-ray is necessary. Patients have the right to refuse treatment or procedures at any time. Despite refusing the x-ray, the patient understood that continuing treatment was critical regardless of the results of the diagnostic test. The patient understands the significance of the test, but is also aware that a diagnostic test is required for the providers to continue treating the disease or disorder.
To address the issues or dilemmas that patients may be experiencing, it is necessary to understand their concerns rather than pass judgment. This can be accomplished by assuring the patient that they are being heard. As nurses, we must assist in determining an alternative method of assisting the patient with their fear and pain so that they can eventually proceed with having an x-ray done. The patient lacks control over most hospital treatments; the question is what can be done to gain more control in the hospital. Negotiating and expressing what you and the patient care about will help the patient achieve a better outcome. 2015 (Robert A.)
