Select one nursing theory and one counseling theory to best guide your practice in psychotherapy.
Explain why you selected these theories. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
Develop at least three goals and at least three objectives for the practicum experience in this course.
Create a timeline of practicum activities based on your practicum requirements.
Write a 350-word article that discusses key stakeholders in the health care sector in which you work. Include the following in your article:
Technology has already dramatically transformed health care, shaping both consumer and provider expectations. With advances in technology, however, have come new opportunities, limitations, and challenges. Technology can cut costs, improve patient outcomes, streamline workflow, and improve information accessibility. It can also be costly, require almost limitless ongoing training, and continually bring about new ethical dilemmas, including the need to assure the “human element” is not lost in patient care. Determining what technology should be developed and how it should be used in an era of limited resources, with vulnerable populations, raises multiple ethical questions.
Faculty at a college of nursing present a seminar for their students on the use of technology in today’s health care system.
1. Describe technology advances that are used in health care today.
2. The nursing faculty concludes the presentation by stating that decisions should be made about what technology can best be used in each individual setting and how it should be used. Describe some points to consider in implementing technology in health care.

As you engage in your practicum experience, develop your journal entry, and prepare for the Discussion, keep the following questions in mind:
As a prescriber, you will be bombarded with information about new medications and may even feel pressure to prescribe them. This information and pressure may come from drug reps, journal advertisements, and even patients. The journal club/article review is meant to help you learn to make your own judgments regarding the importance of a new medication (or new indication).
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
In your role as a PMHNP, you will encounter several situations that will require your ability to make sound judgments and practice decisions for the safety and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. There may not be a clear-cut answer of how to address the issue, but your ethical decision making must be based on evidenced-based practice and what is good, right, and beneficial for patients. You will encounter patients who do not hold your values, but you must remain professional and unbiased in the care you provide to all patients regardless of their socio-demographic and ethnic/racial background. You must be prepared to critically analyze ethical situations and develop an appropriate plan of action. For this Assignment, you review the literature and discover the various ethical dilemmas PMHNPs encounter and how these issues are typically addressed in your state.
To prepare:
Write a 2-page paper in which you do the following:

Technology is integral to successful implementation in many projects, through either support or integration or both. Name at least one technology that could improve the implementation process and the outcomes of your EBP project. Do you plan to use this technology? If not, what are the barriers that prevent its use?
Kimberly s response
One way in which technology is important in my EBP is by the utilization of the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR). This system was originally created in 1998 to be a database which held childhood immunization registries. It has since been further developed due to the change in the Michigan Public Health Code. It now includes not only children but citizens of all ages. It is a program which allows all providers including pharmacies, schools, and other health care organizations to input immunization information into one comprehensive record (MCIR, n.d.). It also includes things such as hearing and vision testing and lead testing. Because lead testing is found in this database, it would help me to identify children who may be at a higher risk of lead exposure from addresses located within the database as well as if they have had lead testing done.
Another avenue which I may decide to look at would be the Women, Infant, Children (WIC) program. They use a database provided by the State of Michigan which provides a central schedule. If I identify families who may need education regarding lead I can see if they have an appointment and, if so, offer them lead education.
As far as utilizing this technology, I am unsure right now. If I need to after talking at more length with my mentor, I will not hesitate to use it. It is my plan to develop a pamphlet which can be handed out to high risk families which would mean I would not need to use the database. If CCPHD would like a more targeted approach, then I will utilize WIC and MCIR which would allow me names and addresses of families in high risk areas.
