From the functional health pattern portion of the assessment, you learn the mother is reluctant to breastfeed her baby. How do you respond? Explain the approach you will take to ensure adequate nutrition for the newborn, with or without breastfeeding. Provide rationale for your answer
In a 4- to 5-page paper written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization to improve outcomes or efficiency. Your paper should include the following:

Assignment: The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies
In the Discussion for this module, you considered the interaction of nurse informaticists with other specialists to ensure successful care. How is that success determined?
Patient outcomes and the fulfillment of care goals is one of the major ways that healthcare success is measured. Measuring patient outcomes results in the generation of data that can be used to improve results. Nursing informatics can have a significant part in this process and can help to improve outcomes by improving processes, identifying at-risk patients, and enhancing efficiency.
To Prepare:
· Review the concepts of technology application as presented in the Resources.
· Reflect on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence may help fortify nursing informatics as a specialty by leading to increased impact on patient outcomes or patient care efficiencies.
The Assignment: (4-5 pages)
In a 4- to 5-page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:
· Describe the project you propose.
· Identify the stakeholders impacted by this project.
· Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
· Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
· Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.
The responsibilities of the professional nurse go beyond caring for the sick or promoting wellness. As outlined in the ANA code of Ethics for Nurses, it is the responsibility of all professional nurses to support the profession as a whole. This can be done in various ways. In addition to promoting the profession in a positive way, the professional nurse also looks at the bigger picture of health and wellness in the community, country, and global community.
The purpose of the discussion this week is to examine the responsibilities of the professional nurse. You will complete this by analyzing the image of nursing that is portrayed to the general public.
1-For this discussion, locate a negative image of nursing (picture or video). Post the link to the discussion board. This will serve as a foundation for your letter writing assignment.
2-Explain why you believe your selected media presents a negative image for nursing.
3-In addition, discuss what you think is the most pressing healthcare issue in your community, in the US, and the global community.
Your response should be written in your own words, consist of complete sentences, and should be at least two to three complete paragraphs

Among the Resources in this module is the Rutherford (2008) article Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice? In this article, the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view the recent implementation of a new coding system.
During the visit, one of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1).
How would you respond to a comment such as this one?
