Topic: Utilizing Evidence Practice Guidelines

One of the ways that the Nurse Practitioner (advanced practice nurse) can manage risk of being successfully sued for malpractice or negligence is by utilizing evidence practice guidelines.

Explain how these guidelines affect the “standard of care” and discuss with your classmates how utilizing this guideline can be a major strategy to significantly reduce risk to the provider.

Go to the link https://www.thinkculturalhealth.hhs.gov/clas/standards (Links to an external site.).

View the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services Standards (CLAS) categories aimed at equity and quality care (HHS, n.d.). Notice how these standards overlap with many of the expectations and standards in professional nursing practice!

1.In what ways are you and your peers using these standards in your areas of nursing practice?

The term growth and development refers to a dynamic process. Growth being the term for physical changes and development being the term that refers to the increase in complexity of the skills a person is able to perform. There are many factors that influence growth and development these can be divided into biological, environmental, and social factors.

Theories are used to organize growth and development that humans experience. It is important that as a health care provider you have an understanding of the appropriate expectations of physical, psychosocial, cognitive, moral and spiritual development.

Choose one of the following theorists and describe the stages of development and the nursing implications: Erickson, Piaget, Kohlberg, or Fowler.

1. Introduction to the Community: Identify the community you will be using for this assignment with the city and state, and provide a brief, one-paragraph description of the community. Your community should be the area where you live or the area surrounding your work setting. The community must include a residential area and be a large enough area to answer the survey questions. Do not include epidemiological or demographic data as this is based on what you observe.
2. Windshield Survey: Assess your community by doing a windshield survey. Information about the components of a windshield survey is located in your textbook, Nies and McEwen (2019). Drive through the area and report your observations by answering the questions on the form. Be sure to include what you observed related to each of these categories, and also include any significant items that are missing in your community because this may be equally important in identifying a community health problem.

   4. Environmental conditions related to health
   5. Social functioning
   6. Attitude toward healthcare

Community problem: Based on your assessment in the survey above, identify and discuss one priority community health problem that a community health nurse could positively impact.Example: If you observed teens who were pregnant or had young children during your survey and felt this was a priority problem in your community, the diagnosis could be
   Risk of unintended pregnancy among adolescent girls in XXXX community as evidence by observation of pregnant teens and teens caring for young children during windshield survey.
