What is the effect of using correct hand hygiene procedures to reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections in patients

Description

TASK: Critically justify the application of the EBP process in a practice situation and the rationale for why a nurse would need to know the answer to the chosen question.

My chosen question is “What is the effect of using correct hand hygiene procedures to reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections in patients?”

In your justification, consider the following: o support your discussion with current literature (in-text references) on EBP o think about health and safety and clinical practice o remember at this point you are not answering the question, you are just informing the reader of the importance of answering the question for clinical practice.

• Develop a search strategy to then systematically search the relevant nursing databases for articles to answer your answerable question. • Report your systematic search narratively. You can support your narrative report with a table- a logic grid of search terms will be good idea.

• Refer to the unit material to ensure that your report covers all elements of the systematic search (keywords, alternative keywords, databases, limits, hits).

• Make sure that you narrow your search to 10 articles that are relevant to your answerable question.

• In your report, it is required to outline how you narrowed your search. Many students in my cohort have found this task confusing, I have attached a form titled ‘Replies to students queries’ where our lecturer clears up confusions many students have around the structure of this assignment.

It has been stated to us that it is important to know that this assignment is not about answering the question, but about the justification of the Evidence Based Practice process, breaking down the question using PIO or PICO, and narrating how we came to find the articles

Report detailing how to tackle an identified health issue affecting a specific group or community

Description

a 4000 word report detailing how to tackle an identified health issue affecting a specific group or community.

The health issue is CVD and the group is Black and Ethnic Minorities in London. What needs to change [determinant/behaviour] that are the major risk factors are Poor Dieting and Lack of Exercise. This exactly the same case in the sample essay I have attached however the health issue there is diabetes among Asians in East London.

The interventions are Socio-Ecological Behaviour Model and Logical Model. The Report should include Ethical Considerations and set out action plan. This work is part of a presentation attached where there is a slide with a graph of all London regions clearly indicating the health inequalities to articulate the health issue. all red bars are regions where BME communities live. The report should borrow heavily from Department of Health’s ‘CVD Outcome Strategy’ and ‘NHS Health Checks in tackling CVD among BME in Glasgow’.

Medicare and Medicaid

Nursing facilities are reimbursed for the services they provide primarily by the Medicare and Medicaid programs. It is very important that the nursing facilities be compliant with the rules and regulations set up by the federal government to remain licensed.

This assures that the facility will be able to continue to receive the Medicare and Medicaid dollar. You must understand that the nursing facilities are the most regulated industry in the world, with nuclear energy coming in second.

With this in mind you know why it is essential that the facility focus its efforts on meeting the federal and state requirements in order to be compliant when they do their on- site surveys, or correct the non-compliant areas in the approved time frame given by the surveyors.

REQUEST: Write a 5 page paper, not including title and resources about your topic. Use correct APA formatting and be sure to have a wide variety of scholarly resources. Address how you as an administrator will need to manage your facility given the regulations of your chosen topic. Research your chosen law/regulation, explain its requirements, and devise a plan for how you will ensure that your facility meets those requirements.

Should We Withhold Life Support

Should We Withhold Life Support?

Write a 2-3 page paper that examines the moral and ethical issues involved in making a decision regarding limiting life support.End-of-Life IssuesWith our framework of ethical theories and principles in hand, we begin our look at some of the critical ethical issues in our contemporary world, starting with end-of-life issues. This assessment covers ethical questions related to end-of-life care. Passive euthanasia is the removal or refusal of life-sustaining treatment. Examples of passive euthanasia include removal of a feeding tube or a ventilator, or forgoing a life-prolonging surgery. Passive euthanasia is legal in all 50 states, and the principle of autonomy gives informed patients the right to refuse any and all treatments. Patients who are unable to make such decisions in the moment (because they are unconscious, for example) might have made their intentions clear beforehand with an advance directive or similar document. Things become more complicated, however, when a patient who is unable to make treatment choices has not made his or her wishes clear, either formally in a written document, or informally in conversations with family members or friends. Another problem concerns cases in which there is disagreement about whether the treatment is sustaining the life of a person in the full sense or merely as a body that, because of severe and irreversible brain trauma, is no longer truly a living person.Active euthanasia, or assisted suicide, introduces further difficult moral questions. A patient who has a terminal illness and who has refused treatments that would merely prolong a potentially very painful and debilitating death might want the process of dying to be hastened and made less painful. The patient might want to take his or her own life before the disease reaches its horrible final stages. Should patients be legally allowed to have help in this endeavor? If suicide itself is not morally wrong, at least in cases like these, is it wrong for another person to directly help bring about the patient’s death? Is it wrong for doctors, a role we naturally associate with healing and the promotion of life, to use their medical expertise to deliberately end a patient’s life if the patient wants this?Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:Competency 1: Articulate ethical issues in health care.Articulate the moral issues associated with limiting life support.Competency 2: Apply sound ethical thinking related to a health care issue.Demonstrate sound ethical thinking and relevant ethical principles when considering limiting life support.Explain important considerations that arise when contemplating limiting life support.Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals.Exhibit proficiency in clear and effective academic writing skills.PreparationCase Study: Mr. Martinez. ( LINK: https://media.capella.edu/CourseMedia/PHI3200/Mr_Martinez/wrapper.asp )This media piece provides the context for this assessment; make sure you have reviewed the case study thoroughly.Additionally, it may be useful to think through the following issues as they relate to Mr. Martinez’s case:Should Mr. Martinez be transferred to intensive care, where his respiratory failure can be treated by a ventilator, and by CPR if necessary, and his oxygen level can be monitored?What are the key ethical issues or models at play in this case study?What are the key end-of-life issues at play in this case study?How can an understanding of models and best-practice help to guide health care practitioners to make ethical and legal decisions?InstructionsIn a 2–3 page analysis of the case study, address the following:The patient’s directives.

The patient’s quality of life.The family’s stated preferences.The moral issues associated with limiting life support.The ethical principles most relevant to reaching an ethically sound decision.Important considerations such as implications, justifications, and any conflicts of interest that might arise because of the patient’s respiratory failure.When writing your assessment submission assume that doctors cannot contact Mrs. Martinez and must make this choice on their own. To help you reach an objective, ethically sound decision, draw upon concepts and arguments from the suggested resources or your independent research. Support your response with clear, concise, and correct examples, weaving and citing the readings and media throughout your answer.Submission RequirementsWritten communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting guidelines.Length: 2–3 typed, double-spaced pages.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
