NR 706 Week 4 Translation Science Project Assignment

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to identify a practice problem idea and an evidence-based intervention to address the practice problem idea. Data management is essential to drive actions and decisions to improve healthcare outcomes. The content will support the formulation of a literature synthesis related to your practice problem idea, which supports professional formulation, communication, and dissemination skills relevant to the DNP-prepared nurse.

Instructions

In order to create flexible options, we are providing you options on this assignment. Concept maps are an effective way to express complex ideas, especially for visual learners. For this assignment, each of the following sections may be presented either as a narrative or concept map:

• Practice Problem and PICOT Question
• Evidence Synthesis of Literature
• Data Driven Decision Making

Please note you are not required to complete any or all of the sections identified as conceptual maps. If you choose to use a concept map for a section, it should be created in Microsoft Word using Smart Art and placed in that section of the paper under the associated first level heading. The concept map must meet all the requirements outlined in the assignment rubric for each section. The rubric and page length are unchanged.

 Concept Map Resources

If you need additional information on concept maps and how to create a concept map in Microsoft Word, review the following resources:

• Link (article): Effects of Web-Based Concept Mapping Education on Students’ Concept Mapping and Critical Thinking Skills: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled StudyLinks to an external site.

Concept Map (2:48) Information:

As a leader, how you manage, and present information may vary depending upon the project, stakeholders, and goals. One approach to present information to gain support for projects is with visual aids such as a concept map. A concept map organizes and displays knowledge in a graphical manner to show relationships between different concepts. By showing interrelationships, concept maps help engage and heighten problem solving. 

One way to construct a concept map is by using Word and its graphic art capabilities known as Smart Art. – Open a blank Word document. – Go to the toolbar. – Select Insert. – Select Smart Art. Select the graphic shape you think most accurately reflects the information you want to share. Let’s say the topic is related to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. You know it is usually presented as a pyramid. So you select Pyramid from the SmartArt options. 

Once selected, it is placed on your Word document for editing. The Smart Art tool allows you to identify three sections of the pyramid. But Maslow’s Hierarchy has five levels, so you need to add two levels to the basic design. Place the cursor in the text box, right click, copy, and paste into position. You now should have four textboxes for the pyramid. Repeat the step to have five textboxes. Then, enter your labels inside each text box. This is one example to illustrate the ease of using Word Smart Art to create a concept map. 

Again, the concept map design depends upon the concepts of interest. Let’s try one more. You want to make a concept map of the three sciences integrated into nursing informatics: computer science, information science, and nursing science. – Open the Word document. – Go to Insert. – Select Smart Art. – Select Relationships, – Select Basic Venn Diagram. Click on the text boxes and enter Nursing Science in the top circle, then Computer Science and Information Science. 

Once you have identified a shape from Smart Art, in addition to adding or deleting parts of the graphic, you can change the location of parts of the graphic as well. Left click the part of the graphic you want to move and drag to a new location. You can connect with lines or arrows by going to the Toolbar and selecting, Insert and then Shapes. These are some basic examples of how to create a concept map. Follow the assignment instructions and use the rubric to guide your creation of the concept map.

Additionally, review the conceptual maps section in the current APA manual.

The assignment should include the following components. Contact course faculty for questions.

Week 6 Health Privacy Breach Discussion

Purpose

The purpose of this discussion is for you to investigate healthcare privacy breaches and the associated risks and the ethical and legal issues confronted as a DNP-prepared nurse. Privacy breaches are serious offenses that negatively affect the trust between nurses and patients. To maintain this trust, nurses must maintain the privacy and security of patient information.

Instructions

Reflect on the following scenarios related to the protection of health information. Select two of the scenarios to discuss.

• Scenario 1: A staff nurse posted the following comment on her social media page: “Can this shift be any longer? It started out with a waiting room full of nagging people who don’t seem to know what ‘emergency’ means. Then, I had to deal with the drama of trying to transfer a 400 lbs. (no joke) intubated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient down the hall to the intensive care unit. Those intensive care unit nurses are such divas, and I wasn’t in the mood for their whining. Someone help!”
  • Analyze the privacy and security issues related to this social media posting.
• Scenario 2: A nurse practitioner is preparing a presentation poster for an infectious disease conference. She includes pictures of varying stages of a client’s lesions in the poster.
  • Analyze the privacy and security issues related to the inclusion of patient information on the poster.
• Scenario 3:A clinical instructor is working with nursing students on a medical unit for the day. While rounding to check on students, the instructor discovers a patient’s daughter wants to take a picture of the nursing student and the patient together to post on social media.
  • Analyze the privacy and security issues and explain the best response for the clinical instructor.

Week 6 Practice Problem Analysis and Presentation Assignment

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to critically evaluate a practice problem idea you identified. This assignment builds on the Week 4 assignment. Information used in the Week 4 assignment may be used as a basis for this assignment. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the identified practice problem idea, using two continuous quality improvement tools, specifically, a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and an Ishikawa (fishbone) cause and effect diagram to analyze, improve, and mitigate related risks.

This assignment will allow you to apply competencies through sequential development of workflow steps in relation to an identified practice problem idea and promotion of presentation skills. Assignment content supports professional formation, communication, and dissemination skills relevant to the DNP-prepared nurse.

Instructions

This assignment has four components:

1. Identified practice problem idea in PICOT format
2. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
3. Ishikawa (Fishbone) cause and effect diagram
4. Professional PowerPoint with speaker notes at the bottom of each slide to disseminate information

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

1. Consider the identified practice problem idea used in the Week 4 translation science project including PICOT, background, and significance. Incorporate course faculty feedback from the Week 4 assignment.
2. Review the examples of the failure mode and effects analysis and fishbone diagram in the Week 4 Explore section of the course called Evidence-Based Practice: Improving Outcomes.
3. Download the required documents inserted in the guidelines:
   1. Link (PPT): PowerPoint TemplateLinks to an external site.
   2. Link (Word doc): Failure Mode and Effects Analysis TemplateLinks to an external site.

4. Complete the failure mode and effects analysis and then the Ishikawa fishbone diagram. The Ishikawa fishbone diagram requires Word 2016 to download. If you do not have the Word 2016 version, you may update your current version of Word (click on the following link for instructions: Office 365Links to an external site.) or use the alternative version provided or create your own fishbone diagram as long as you are addressing the five areas:
   1. People
   2. Environment
   3. Materials
   4. Methods
