As rightly pointed out, although there are no known causes of developmental coordination disorder; however, there are various theories about its possible causes. Some theories attribute the disorder to biological causes such as prenatal complications as fetal malnutrition. According to Versfeld (n.d.), recent research has shown that the underlying reason for the movement difficulties children with developmental coordination disorder experience is related to atypical brain development that affects how the brain forms connections between different parts of the brain when learning a new skill. Thus, the child’s ability to use information from the senses to plan, adapt, and control movements are impacted. Research has also suggested that children with developmental coordination disorder may have difficulty planning a motor task, organizing movements, performing a coordinated action, and adjusting movements when demands change.

There is a link between developmental coordination disorder, attention, and anxious nature. Children with developmental coordination disorder have an overly cautious, fearful, or anxious temperament with the temperament trait known as behavioral inhibition (BI), which affects a child’s behavior, attention skills, and ability to take on challenges and learn new skills. Furthermore, some children with poor coordination also have generalized joint hypermobility, which is associated with a cautious or fearful nature. According to Versfeld (n.d.), some behavioral inhibition and anxiety behaviors include:

• Cautious or fearful response to an event or situation that is new, challenging, or unpredictable.
• Poor attention and emotional self-regulation-tantrums and meltdowns, distractible, fight or flight response to challenges.
• Avoidance as a strategy to manage negative arousal and anxiety.
• Intolerance of failure; do not like making mistakes, perfectionism.
• Fear of heights, loud and unpredictable noises, busy environments, and uncertainty.
• Social anxiety and separation anxiety.

There are assessment instruments for developmental coordination disorder. For instance, the developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCD-Q) identifies motor coordination problems in children from eight years to 14 and a half. Another screening tool is the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014, pg. 3539), which is my preference because it indicates gross and fine motor skills for children four years to 16 years of age. Furthermore, MABC has a checklist with a reliable instrument within sections and overall. Since the nature and severity of issues in developmental coordination disorder is broad, an instrument for screening children with developmental coordination disorder must be able to measure a wide variety of motor skills (Sadock et al., 2014, pg. 3539). Another test to consider is the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency for Identifying Children with Motor Impairment (BOTMP). The BOTMP assesses motor skills in children from four and a half years to 14 and a half years old. The BOTMP provides a comprehensive index motor skill (Sadock et al., 2014, pg. 3539).

This is part 1 of your required term paper. In this part, you are to choose a topic as your focus. Choose a topic that will incorporate 3-4 of the concepts discussed within this course (such as ethics, leadership, communication, and quality) and write a short 50 word or less summary of what you plan to address. Then, develop an outline of information that you plan to include (Refer to the Outline Template and Grading Rubric). The provided outline template can be downloaded, and your information inserted into the outline. (see Templates attached below). Be sure to remove any wording that is not pertinent to your own work.  Once you have completed your summary and outline, submit it via blackboard assignment submission.

Topics to Choose from:

1. Magnet      designation; what it means for a hospital including      the ANCC’s five magnet model components, how it affects current nursing      practice, and how it affects diverse communities.
2. Clinical      decision support systems (protocols and      guidelines): how their use promotes patient safety and provides      decision-making assistance with computerized alerts and reminders to enhance      health and patient care across the life span.
3. Healthy      Work Environment; how methods to      resolve conflicts in the workplace are developed. How might patient care      be affected when conflicts are present among nursing staff?
4. Lateral      nurse violence: include a discussion of      two of the following:

               How does lateral incivility affect diversity in the nursing profession?

               What can the nurse do if feeling intimidated, bullied, constantly belittled, or on the receiving end of anger outburst from another nurse? (Address gender identity or ethnicity issues)

               Do negative behaviors in the workplace always mean incivility or violence/abuse?

               How can the patterns of violence and incivility be recognized and stopped?

               How might patient care be affected when lateral incivility may be present among nursing staff?

5. Emergency preparedness and response; how it relates to an emergency health threat such as a bioterrorism incident or the current CPVID-19 pandemic. How might patient care be affected, and policies and procedures changed?

6. Mass Casualty events: the role of nurses in preparing and responding. How might patient care across the life span be affected?

7. Joint Commission or DNV accreditation process: the impact it has on patient care. The role of the professional nurse in influencing the advancement of the nursing profession. How might patient care be affected?

8. Root Cause Analysis: Provide and example and answer the following questions, “When is a root cause analysis used in health care?” “How is this analysis different from just interviewing staff members about their actions?”  “What is the final goal of doing a root cause analysis?”  “Why have some suggested replacing the term “root cause analysis” with “systems analysis?”  “How effective is doing a root cause analysis to improve patient safety across the life span?” 

9. Latent Errors: discuss the factors that may lead to latent errors involving nurses. How might patient care be affected?

Module 4 – SLP

THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY

Another challenge affecting health care delivery is the growing shortage of health care personnel. Quality, a major concern of health care, is directly impacted by understaffing. For your Module 4 SLP, conduct research on the need for health care personnel in your state, city/town, or a location that you are familiar with. Based on your research, compose a 2-page memorandum to your local/state representative identifying your findings. In your memorandum, include the following:

• Detailed statistics on the shortage of health care personnel in your selected geographical area.
• Comparative statistics to the national shortage of health care personnel.
• Explain how health care personnel shortage is affecting health care delivery currently and within the next 10 years.
