Part one: 

Discussion Question:

Henderson believed nurses have the responsibility to assess the needs of the individual patient, help individuals meet their health needs, and provide an environment in which the individual can perform activities unaided. What is an opportunity in your nursing practice that would benefit from application of Henderson’s theory? How does this align with the ANA’s definition of nursing? Provide at least one evidenced-based research article to support this recommendation.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook. Please reply to at least two classmates. Replies to classmates should be at least 200 words in length. 

Part two: 

Assignment:

This week you will create a two-part Power Point to discuss the following:

Part one:

Peplau was the first nursing theorist to identify the nurse–patient relationship as being central to all nursing care. Peplau valued knowledge, believing that the nurse must possess extensive knowledge about the potential problems that emerge during a nurse–patient interaction. Peplau’s theoretical work on the nurse–patient relationship continues to be essential to nursing practice.

• Describe the phases of the Nurse-Patient relationship as defined by Peplau. Align your presentation regarding the use of Peplau’s theory with a current practice example. 

Part two:

Provide a discussion of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory. Identify and explain the three related parts? Identify a current nursing practice example where Orem’s theory would be relevant. Use at least one evidenced-based research article to support your practice example. The PowerPoint should include at least 3 outside references and the textbook. It should include title and reference slides and be 14-20 slides.

Assignment:

Introduction to Theory in Healthcare Informatics

Write an essay addressing each of the following points/questions. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each number item. There should be three sections, one for each item number below, as well the introduction (heading is the title of the essay) and conclusion paragraphs. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least three (3) citations in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

Write an essay addressing the following prompts:

1. Electronic health records (EHRs) are easier to read than the paper charts of the past, but many complain that healthcare providers are focusing too much on the computer screen instead of the patient.
   • Is this due to lack of skill or training, poor computer system design, or just the nature of computer charting?
   • Is patient care suffering from the implementation of EHRs?
   • Charting in an EHR consist of clicking boxes, do you feel this provides enough detail about the patient, condition, and events if there was a law suit?
2. Hebda, Hunter and Czar (2019) identify three types of data that is currently being tracked by organizations (p. 46).
   • Identify and explain another type of data, specific to your practice, that is being tracked by an organization.
   • Why do you feel this data is important to track? 
   • Identify and discuss the organization that is tracking the data.
   • Are there any ethical concerns with an outside organization tracking this data, explain and give examples?
3. In this week’s discussion post, you identified and explain the topic selected for the project.
   • Provide a description of your selected topic based on input from the discussion forum. What is your project, why is it relevant to this class, and why is it important to you?
   • Identify an informatics/healthcare theory from pages 29-30 of the textbook that aligns with the project and explain why.

Assignment Expectations: 

Length: 500 words per essay prompt/each section (1500 total for this assignment)

MLO 2- Module 2

Unlocked: Sunday, January 20, 2019 12:00 AM CST – Sunday, January 27, 2019 11:59 PM CST.Subscribe

You are the nursing supervisor of an assisted living facility (ALF). Recently you have received multiple complaints from several residents about the lack of assistance and care they receive from one of the day shift nursing assistants (NAs). You are surprised because this NA received the “Employee of Year” award just last year. As the nursing supervisor, you must approach and discuss these complaints with the NA. 

Related question #1

Nonverbal communication is very powerful.

a) Identify at least four types of nonverbal communication.

b) Describe how your nonverbal behavior should be congruent with your verbal communication in this scenario.

Related question #2

Explain how you will communicate effectively with the NA who is a different gender than yourself.

Respond to two classmates.

The communication process is indicated as “the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information by speech, signals, writing or behavior.” (Marquis & Huston 2017). Nonverbal cues fall under the umbrella of behavior pertaining to communication. Facial expressions, physical contact, gestures, and head or body movements are all various forms of nonverbal communication. Because nonverbal communication is extremely powerful, it remains one of the main culprits in creating disputes or verbal altercations. One effective way to improve nonverbal communication is to “manage stress better and develop your emotional awareness” (Segal, Smith, Robinson, & Boose 2018). This is the importance of congruency between nonverbal cues and verbal communication. What one feels on the inside, may not be communicated appropriately to another individual outwardly.

There are two main concepts that come into play when communicating with anyone regardless of an individual’s gender or position in a work environment. Those concepts are respect and dignity. In the scenario of having to communicate with a NA whose gender is different from mine, I would practice these same core concepts.

Communication is defined as “the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, by speech, signals, writing, or behavior”, and can be broken into two parts—verbal and nonverbal (Marquis & Houston 2015). The mode of communication is critical to the perception of the message so picking the right mode of communication is very important. Most of the time people will believe nonverbal clues over verbal communication when the body language does not match the message. There are several types of nonverbal communication including space, eye contact, posture, and facial expression and timing. Ineffective communication is a common cause of conflict (Henry 2016). As the nursing supervisor, I would need to maintain composure verbally and non-verbally and be professional, direct, and honest with the nursing assistant. This is called assertive communication and the goal for me would be to get the message across clearly without bringing tension to any supervisor-staff-client relationships.

Communicating effectively with the anyone different than yourself always starts with respect, but men and women do communicate differently. In healthcare, women usually do not have administrative positions. Marquis & Houston state “differences in gender, power, and status significantly affect the types and quality of organizational and unit-level communication (2015).” When talking to the NA, stay objective and assertive but give the NA his opportunity to communicate as well. Open communication, good interpersonal communication, and assertive communication are all aspects needed to communicate effectively as a nursing supervisor in this situation.
