Taking the role of the Chief Safety or Risk Management Officer in the organization or a provider’s office who now must deliver an accounting of the incident to the board of directors, develop a slide presentation, containing a title slide, 12-15 slides of content, and a references slide, focusing on the chosen incident. Your presentation must incorporate the following: A brief summary of the incident , including a description as well as the outcome. A summary of the applicable Joint Commission and other (e.g., local, state) regulatory standards that apply to the incident. A discussion of the mistakes and/or oversights made by the health care organization or individual provider that did or may have led to the incident that occurred, and an accounting of the preventive steps that could have or should have been taken to avoid them. A proposal outlining specific education or training the organization or provider will employ to ensure this type of incident does not occur in the future. Include concepts related to continuous quality improvement in your recommendations.

To create your presentation you can use PowerPoint or a program such as Prezi (www.prezi.com). Speaker’s notes must be included for each individual slide.

There are many professional nursing organizations that support and advocate for nursing practice. Being a part of a professional organization allows nurses to have a voice and make an impact in policymaking decisions and legislation that can ultimately affect patient care. Being part of a professional organization also allows nurses to come together and be a powerful voice for the nursing profession. The main goal is to provide evidence-based, safe, quality care and coming together to improve healthcare is a huge way to make an impact.

According to RN.com, “Nursing organizations promote and encourage the use of evidence-based practice to its members. Nurses who are certified in their specialty will find that their nursing professional organization will offer continuing education that is pertinent to their practice. Many nursing organizations hold annual nursing conferences. These conferences bring nurses together from across the country, and oftentimes worldwide, to share education and best practices. They also offer the opportunity to network with nursing colleagues from around the globe” (Schneider, 2015).

One such organization is the ANA. This organization acts as an advocate for the nurse and for patients. The ANA raises awareness to the public, and legislation at the state and federal level when certain problems arise in healthcare or improvements are necessary. Raising awareness contributes to making changes in order to provide patient’s safe quality care. “ANA offers the information, tools, and resources that nurses need to become effective advocates” (ANA, n.d.).

I need a comment for each paragraph

Paragraph 1

 

Health education plays a central role in health promotion. This is because in order to promote healthy living, it is important for individuals to understand why they are engaging in healthy behavior. For example, for an individual to go out of their way to become physically active and avoid junk food, they should have an incentive to do so. Health education provides this incentive as individuals learn of the association between a sedentary lifestyle/ junk food and diseases like diabetes and obesity.  The nursing process is inherently tied to patient health education. This is because part of the nursing duties is to fight for patient advocacy. This means that nurses should ensure that their patients are properly informed about their health in order to make health-centered decisions. A contemporary issue that a family may experience today is a family struggling with obesity. The nurse can address the issue by first meeting with the family together, and then with each member individually. The nurse should focus on health education and discuss the implications of obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. They should inform the family about how much they can positively affect their lives through the addition of regular exercise and healthy eating habits. A critical role of the nurse is to develop realistic health goals for the family and to provide a real plan that can help the family to achieve these goals.

Paragraph 2

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) (2018b), health promotion is “the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve their health” (para 1). Health education is defined as “any combination of learning experiences designed to help individuals and communities improve their health, by increasing their knowledge or influencing their attitudes” (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018a, para 1). Nurses are actively involved in both health promotion and health education, providing education that is necessary to help patients achieve control over the promotion of their own health. Similar to all other nursing functions, health education is provided by using the nursing process. The nurse will assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate to provide the proper health education to the patients. This process can vary from person to person, but the basic foundation stays the same. Some patients have to have revisions so it can get out of order. An acronym we learned in nursing school for the nursing process is ADPIE. It’s really stuck with me over the years, making it easy to remember. A Contemporary issue that many faces globally includes hurricane’s, and forest fires. Even though these can’t be prevented, there are plans that can be devised, resources that can be offered, and tools that can be used to assist with preparation and help to work toward achieving wellness goals. Some local issues some patients face can include, environmental issues like illicit drugs or a high crime neighborhood, lack of transportation making it hard to get to their appointments.
