Briefly reflect on your general education capstone experience and address the following questions:

• What are the key takeaways from this class that you will carry with you?  
• What did it take to bring your paper and presentation together, and how has that experience shaped your professional outlook?
• What recommendations or advice would you provide for students who will take this capstone course in the future?

Your paper should be 1/2–1 page in length. Adhere to APA Style throughout.

This is a description of what the capstone course is about.

* The capstone seminar is a culminating in-depth experience in which students formulate their integrated General Education learning experiences into a final oral and written research-based project, which comprehensively addresses a pressing issue in health care and advances a proposed defensible solution. The application of learned methods, concepts, and theories into the construction of this project serves as the culminating summative evaluation of General Education Program Learning Outcomes achievement following completion of the General Education courses. 

Hi,

I would like someone to review the case study from attachment very careful (please review several times). From the case study above, please compare the diagnosis with I have below and assist me with any new diagnosis with the table in section 2. Please create from most to least important diagnosis. 

PLEASE COMPLETE BY 5 PM TODAY.

1. HOMEWORK INSTRUCTIONS

“Differential Diagnosis Table

a. Complete a differential diagnosis table for this patient (see below)

i. A differential diagnosis list is a list of all the possible diagnoses this patient could have based on the symptoms the patient presents with, the available history and the physical exam. Examine what you know about this patient, and consider the pathophysiology as you make your list of possible diagnoses.

ii. You should be able to generate a list of at least 4-5 possibilities, though there is space for more if you would like. 

iii. Put them in a list of most likely being number 1, to less likely. 

1. Your number one diagnosis is the one you think this patient has, given the history and physical exam. This is the most likely diagnosis given that there are more clinical manifestations and findings in the history and exam that support this diagnosis. 

2. Include any differential that you think is appropriate for this patient, given the information you have, but make sure it is in the order of most likely. 

3. Be specific in your possible diagnosis. Do not use generic diseases or diagnoses. If there are more than one type of a disease, list each separately, as likely the pathophysiology is different.

In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making. A critical component of any policy design is evaluation of the results. How comfortable are you with the thought of becoming involved with such matters?

Some nurses may be hesitant to get involved with policy evaluation. The preference may be to focus on the care and well-being of their patients; some nurses may feel ill-equipped to enter the realm of policy and political activities. However, as you have examined previously, who better to advocate for patients and effective programs and policies than nurses? Already patient advocates in interactions with doctors and leadership, why not with government and regulatory agencies?

In this Discussion, you will reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.

To Prepare:

• In the Module 4 Discussion, you considered how professional nurses can become involved in policy-making.
• Review the Resources and reflect on the role of professional nurses in policy evaluation.

Write an explanation of at least two opportunities that currently exist for RNs and APRNs to actively participate in the policy review. Explain some of the challenges that these opportunities may present and describe how you might overcome these challenges. Finally, recommend two strategies you might make to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities. Be specific and provide examples.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS INDICATED BELOW:

1). ZERO (0) PLAGIARISM

Thank you.  

Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.

Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy.

To Prepare:

• Review the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation      Analysis Template provided in the Resources.
• Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.
• Review community, state, or federal policy evaluation and reflect on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program or policy described.

The Assignment: (2–3 pages)

Based on the program or policy evaluation you selected, complete the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe the healthcare program or policy outcomes.
• How was the success of the program or policy measured?
• How many people were reached by the program or policy selected?
• How much of an impact was realized with the program or policy selected?
• At what point in program implementation was the program or policy evaluation conducted?
• What data was used to conduct the program or policy evaluation?
• What specific information on unintended consequences was identified?
• What stakeholders were identified in the evaluation of the program or policy? Who would benefit most from the results and reporting of the program or policy evaluation? Be specific and provide examples.
• Did the program or policy meet the original intent and objectives? Why or why not?
• Would you recommend implementing this program or policy in your place of work? Why or why not?
• Identify at least two ways that you, as a nurse advocate, could become involved in evaluating a program or policy after 1 year of implementation.

 During your practicum, determine what clinical problem or issue the organization is facing. Discuss two implications for nursing.
