Stakeholders are essential to change because they are the ones who need to buy into the idea. For my project I have proposed to add education on life style changes into our existing free education class. In order to make this happen I would need the support of my facility administrator, Regional director, and medical director. Outside of my organization it would be important to collaborate with the existing program in the community at the local health department. Empowering the people around you will give better results this includes stakeholders (Halm, 2010). You may have the idea but they have the resources to put the ideas into action. In order to make sure that the change is effective coming up with a plan is essential and executing the plan is the next part (Fineout-Overholt, 2011). I plan to first address my idea with my mentor and facility administrator by doing a presentation. Then I will address it with the regional director and medical director. I am most excited about reaching out to the public health nurse in charge of the diabetic education in my area. I will start there and then hope to meet with the board to address the epidemic in our area of diabetes ending in end stage renal disease and how are we going to work together to educate the community?

Within my facility, they have an actual process to review or revise policies that staff could do if they feel that something is out of date, or just needs a review. In the request to change a policy or procedure, it states, “If there is a REVISION to the document, are the revisions such that staff education/awareness is needed? How will this be accomplished? Who is responsible?” (Bellin Health, 2019) This shows that it is more than just an organizational thing. When something gets changed, more than us need to know about it. For example, if we change a policy for what company we use to transport patients, more than us have to know, and approve, this change. It impacts more than just our organization. Changes need to be supported by more than just the group that is changing it because it impacts the community. Going back to my example, if we change who we use for transportation, it impacts the drivers, the patients, their families, the hospital staff, and countless other people. Most everyone, if not all, should be supportive. Without support, it is hard to change anything. Support really helps ‘snowball’ things and get things rolling in the right direction. I already have the support of my mentor, and I feel that my department will have my support because it is something that we have to work on, and the policy that we are using now may not be the best for our department. I will put my research in our department’s weekly huddle and see what their thoughts on how to fix the problem. They may have some good ideas that I have not thought of and research from there. REFERENCEBellin Health. (2019). Process for the review/revision of policies & procedures. Unpublished internal

Surgical smoke in the operating room is harmful to staff and patients. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has identified harmful byproducts such as benzene, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, bioaerosols, dead and live cellular material, HPV, blood fragments, and viruses in the smoke of electrocautery devices (Robison & Neville, 2019). The proposed solution that I am trying to address with my project is to reduce/eliminate surgical smoke in the operating room and educate the operating room staff on the health hazards that surgical smoke can impose on staff and patients. In order to reduce exposure to surgical smoke I am purposing the purchasing of adaptors that will be utilized with the Neptume 3 waste management system. I am also developing an educational/competency program on the hazards of surgical smoke and the importance of using evacuation equipment along with proper PPE for all surgical procedures that generate surgical smoke.In 2016 when I started my career as a RNFA I began getting awful headaches during certain cases along with a runny nose and throat irritation. At first, I thought maybe I was beginning to develop an allergy to the type of surgical mask I was using so I made an appointment with our occupational health department. Occ health and an ENT doc also felt that it was probable due to the mask, so I was ordered my very own supply of hypoallergenic surgical masks. Those masks didn’t work, I continued to have symptoms. I finally figured out that it was due to surgical smoke inhalation. During my investigation I realized that much of the OR staff had no knowledge of the hazards and potential health risks of surgical smoke. Also, our operating rooms are not equipped with the proper smoke evacuation equipment.My vision of the proposed project has not changed since I began researching the subject. Exposure to surgical smoke requires an intervention.ReferenceRobins, T., & Neville, R. (2019). Utilizing a shared governance approach for smoke evacuation

Central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) is a major contributor to in-hospital morbidity and mortality and is linked with increased expenditure and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. The incidence of CLABSI is more in the ICUs due to emergency catheter placement, longer duration and repeated manipulation for sampling, administration of drugs and fluids, the additional confounding factors being chronic illness, old age, sepsis and immunosuppression (Atilla et al., 2016). My proposed solution of addressing this problem is nursing and patient education. Among the health care workers, nurses have the most direct and continuous role in handling CVCs, being involved with both insertion assistance and maintenance of central lines. Thus, they have a unique opportunity to contribute towards preventing these infections.Bedside nurses have the responsibility to implement the right interventions to prevent them. Appropriate training and education in central line management can go a long way in preventing this problem. Nurses are in a unique position to prevent CLABSIs across the health care spectrum. It would not be an overstretch to say that CLABSI prevention is completely a nursing responsibility. Let us consider the current health care scenario: the nursing scope of practice has increased vastly over the past decade and our profession continues to gain significance (Atilla et al., 2016).Educating the patients and families on the best practices of central line care and infection prevention is the responsibility of nursing staff. Making patients and caregivers partners in therapy by creating educational materials in simple language will help motivate adult learners to assimilate the knowledge (Patel et al., 2019). An interactive nurse-led demonstration accompanied by an illustrated guide to best practices of central line management ensure compliance to strict infection prevention practices. Again, this responsibility of educating patients falls on nurses, and patient education is a powerful tool to prevent CLABSIs (Patel et al., 2019). My current perspective was attributed by the fact that education empowers the patient and gives them ownership of their own care and condition.ReferencesAtilla, A., Doğanay, Z., Çelik, H. K., Tomak, L., Günal, Ö., & Kılıç, S. S. (2016). Central line-associated bloodstream infections in the intensive care unit: importance of the care bundle.
