Week 5 Book Discussion

Must post first.

  1. Svavarsdottir conducted an integrative review about Nordic families with children who are chronically ill.  Three exemplar family cases were described.  How can nurses be empathetically connected to these families?  In Figure 1, Svavarsdottir (2006), shows how family daily activities, family relations and family health are interconnected.  Describe how the family’s quality of life is affected if one or more of these 3 factors were hindered. What may be some suggestions to help these families boost their quality of life? Feel free to share any experiences in your career where you were empathetically connected to a family and helped boost their quality of life.
  2. From your readings and your own experience, identify and discuss five needs of families during a crisis experience.
  3. Develop a three generation pedigree to assess your personal family history information using the following website https://phgkb.cdc.gov/FHH/html/index.html The pedigree should represent three generations (student, parents, grandparents). Complete your family history, save it, and view your history grid and genogram. Share your insights into your family health with your group (you do not need to post the pedigree itself).
  4. The Bennet article is a helpful resource for pedigree and genogram symbols when you start diagramming genograms in Module 3.
  5. Read the genomics case study and Alzheimer’s fact sheet.

Meet Jeremy and Sandy.

Jeremy and Sandy are nursing students in their second year of a baccalaureate nursing program. They both have an interest in emergency nursing and decide to start a blog. They call the blog Emergency Room Futures for Student Nurses and take turns writing posts about new information in emergency nursing and their aspirations and experiences.

Jeremy and Sandy, two nursing students holding patient files

Many of their fellow students and a few faculty members follow their blogs. There is a growing audience of students in other programs in the United States and even internationally. One post they cowrite is critical of the BCMA system being used in the emergency department of one of their clinical sites. They are careful not to mention the facility by name but refer to examples of workarounds used there.

In one instance, they mention a nurse who carried several patients’ barcodes on her belt and caused some confusion in treating three family members who were brought in following a motor vehicle crash. One of the blog’s readers is married to one of the nurses who work in the facility, and he shows it to his wife. A faculty member emails Jeremy and Sandy, telling them to delete the blog post. Sandy obliges immediately.

In what way could Jeremy and Sandy have used their blog in a better manner to provide constructive feedback about the BCMA system and the workarounds they observed?

How do you think a family member or friend of the motor vehicle crash victims might have felt if they read the article? What about other members of the community where the hospital is located? Can you think of any other possible ramifications?

What course of action do you think the Dean of Nursing should take in response to this incident? Support your opinion.

SWOT Analysis

/in /by

DNP Project I: SWOT Analysis Assignment

Utilize the approved DNP project topic to complete a gap and SWOT analysis. This activity will assist in the development of the DNP Project Proposal throughout the course.

A gap analysis is a process where an organization compares its current practice to practice expectations or goals (e.g., benchmarks) (Leonard & Bottorff, 2022). The purpose is “to identify discrepancies between known benchmarks for efficient and effective health care delivery and practice with the real-world conditions” (Davis-Ajami et al., 2014, p. 18). A gap analysis answers the questions:

1. Where is the organization now?

2. Where does the organization want to be?

3. What can be done to close the gap?

The gap analysis will guide the aims, objectives, and interventions for the DNP scholarly project. It is completed in 5 steps, the last of which is a SWOT analysis.

Step 1: Identify the Current State/Problem

Identify the current state. What is the problem/clinical question for the project topic? Is this a new problem (a few months) or has it been ongoing for a while? Briefly describe your findings below.

 

Step 2: Identify and Define Best Practice

Identify and define the desired state and the best practice needed to reach the desired state through a comprehensive literature review. Evidence must include a least one (1) national guideline, evidence-based protocol, or regulatory standard. Briefly describe the desired state and best practice needed below. Cite sources of best practice.

 

Step 3: Gather Data

Gather data at the project site to figure out the nature of the gap. Ask questions of everyone involved, at all levels. What do people notice day to day surrounding the problem? Which team members play a role? Review documentation and organizational policies and procedures–do they contribute to the problem? What are the barriers to best practice implementation? Create field notes for use in Step 4.

 

Step 4: Measure and Benchmark

Complete the Table below, based on the data collected at the site in Step 3 and best practice evidence from Step 2. See examples from the presentation.

 

Best Practices Best Practice Strategies How do project site practices differ from best practices? Barriers to best practice implementation
       
       
       
       
       

 

Step 5: SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis is used to evaluate the internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats to the project. A SWOT analysis provides a broad view of the current situation and risks to the project, which can be anticipated and mitigated when developing project objectives and interventions (Moran et al., 2020, pp. 129-130).

Strengths and weaknesses refer to internal resources readily available for the project, such as financial, physical, and human resources, and current processes. Opportunities and threats refer to external factors that can impact the project, such as economic trends, funding, demographics, relationships with partners/communities, and political and economic regulations.

Complete the Table below, based on the information gathered through the gap analysis process (Steps 1-4). See examples from the presentation.

 

Strengths

What does the organization do well?

What organizational resources exist to support the project?

 Weaknesses

What can the organization improve upon?

What organizational resources are lacking that would be necessary to support the project?
· ·
· ·
· ·
Opportunities

What opportunities are available for the project?

How can strengths be turned into opportunities?

 Threats

What threats could harm the project?

What threats do the weaknesses expose?

Reference List

Minimum 10 references, must include at least one (1) national guideline, evidence-based protocol, or regulatory standard.
