Importance of working with clients to understand their thoughts and emotions.

Posted on | by

 

Stepney and Davis (Chapter 5) identify the importance of working with clients to understand their thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral theory argues that clients have “core beliefs” that are influential and impactful in how they experience the world. The humanistic perspective emphasizes empathy and seeing the good in people. In crisis intervention we get clients to their normal level of functioning, seeing them as good, and then appropriately challenge their thinking as a way to reshape and restructure harmful patterns in the client’s life. Remember that clinicians have power and we must ensure that we are recognizing the client’s rights, avoid telling the client what to do, and are respectful of their process.

For this discussion, identify how you would use these three theories/interventions (Cognitive-Behavioral, Humanistic, Crisis Intervention) to support working with the Campbell family immediately after Jacob was arrested for stealing a car. Provide an explanation of what you would do and why, using components of these theories, and then discuss which evidence-based interventions you would use and why

When politics and medical science intersect

Posted on | by

 

When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.

In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

 

Review the Congress website provided in the Resources and identify one recent (within the past 5 years) proposed health policy.
Review the health policy you identified and reflect on the background and development of this health policy.

New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings

Posted on | by

New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.
Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.
In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.
To Prepare:
• Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
• Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
• Identify and select 4 peer-reviewed research articles from your research.

In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed. Format your Assignment as an Annotated Bibliography. Be sure to address the following:
• Identify the 4 peer-reviewed research articles you reviewed, citing each in APA format.
• Include an introduction explaining the purpose of the paper.
• Summarize each study, explaining the improvement to outcomes, efficiencies, and lessons learned from the application of the clinical system each peer-reviewed article described. Be specific and provide examples.
