Outline the concept of professional accountability as it pertains to nursing. Provide examples of how a nurse demonstrates professional accountability in clinical expertise, the nursing process, and evidence-based practice.  

Professional nursing accountability is when a nurse takes responsibility for their   actions, judgments, and omissions when caring for patients .      Professional accountability  is also having the responsibility of remaining competent and up to date in all nursing and health care practices   (Green, S 2018).   Nurses should also have  integrity  that is always maintained ,  through their  actions, practices, and attitudes which  they  display to their patients  and interdisciplinary team.   

A nurse can demonstrate professional accountability in clinical expertise  for example by  ensuring that  they are always  properly giving blood products to a patient.  Using their clinical expertise, they know they need to have an order, consent, two licensed professionals to verify the blood products and the patient before administration, and to stay with the patient for the first fifteen minutes of the transfusion. Doing this is  advocating for  the patient to get the correct products safely and  requires a  certain professional attendanc e.   

In the nursing process, a nurse can demonstrate professional accountability  by using safe practices.  S uch  as  educating the patient of signs and symptoms of a transfusion reaction, to notify staff if they have any questions and concerns during the transfusion  immediately and  reporting  and intervening if there is a reaction.  

P rofessional accountability can be shown in the evidence-based practices (EBP).  A nurse being educated and up to date on educations such as EBP and using it to help improve action and promote better patient outcomes.

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

1. Title page
2. Introduction section
3. A comparison of research questions
4. A comparison of sample populations
5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

 hi dear,

  is there anyway you both can narrate your pieces and I can mash it into the presentation preferably before this evening. The (CoalitionTestimonyPresentation2) power point add to Group presentation that I have attached both power points.

can help me to finish this assignment with good quality and be on time please?

Please follow the instructor carefully. There is a sample of PowerPoint.

Coalition Testimony Group Presentation

Coalitions often prepare testimony for public hearings in order to ensure their key messages are voiced and presented to policymakers. Each member organization/stakeholder has a slightly different perspective they bring, but all the messages are intended to influence the policy making body to adopt a specific policy.

Each coalition group will develop a presentation of coordinated public testimony to convince policy makers to adopt a policy. Review the policy solution for the public health problem your coalition selected and included in the coalition proposal. Utilize this specific legislative policy (e.g. SB 768) as the focus to develop testimony for each coalition student member. Each coalition student member will prepare and present a maximum of three minutes of testimony on the selected legislative policy for mock presentation to policy makers. (This is about 450 words, based on the normal speaking voice). Coordinate with your coalition student members to ensure key messages the coalition has agreed upon are covered. 

Each coalition group will present one PowerPoint that will supplement the testimony of each coalition student member and will include: Key aspects of the coalition proposal; a list of corresponding coalition stakeholder student members.

Review the testimony requirements below and the accompanying rubric in Blackboard week 3- Group Coalition Assignment Platform.

Each coalition stakeholder student member’s public testimony will:

1. Identify you and the organization you represent within the coalition and/or your standing on the issue (resident, stakeholder, expert, etc.)

2. State your position as “for” or “against” the proposed bill; identify the bill by name and number if appropriate (e.g. S.B. 768)

3. Provide the “Ask”: Tell the policy makers what you want them to do (vote yes or no on the bill)

4. Provide back- up documentation for your “ask.” This can include personal experience or facts and statistics

· One scholarly reference is required to be cited in such a way that your listeners can find the information on their own. At least, include the author and the year in the statement.  Testimony Examples:

· Poor sample: Tobacco taxes can reduce smoking.

· Good Sample: In 2011, Chaloupka and colleagues demonstrated the effectiveness of a tobacco tax as a method to reduce smoking consumption. OR

· “Dr. Frank Chaloupka, well- known for his economic studies related to public health issues, demonstrated the effectiveness of a tobacco tax as a method to reduce smoking consumption in a 2011 report in the journal Tobacco Control.” 

5. Thank the committee for the opportunity to speak. This can be done at the beginning or end of your testimony

6. The coalition stakeholders/student members should coordinate testimony so that the important aspects to the health problem (as covered in the coalition proposal) are addressed by the members, well covered, but importantly, each conveys different messages. Minimize redundancy.

It is very important to review the resources provided to you below (Kansas University Toolbox; sample real-world testimonies; and the Coalition PPT assignment overview) for this assignment as they will direct you to better understand how to create/design testimony.
