Week 2 Discussion Question: Chapter 5: Common Aging Changes

Choose one aspect of the normal change of aging and discuss in one page or less the following: ·           

Part two: Discuss interventions to improve/reduce risks of adverse effects.

There are so many nursing specialties that spark my interest, it was difficult to narrow it down and commit to only one. While I really enjoyed working in surgery, my calling and passion have always resonated more with mental health. Family and life experiences have helped equip me to serve others with mental health needs. When it came time to pick a specialty for the MSN program, I had a long debate over public health and mental health specialties. I have really enjoyed working in an outpatient mental health clinic serving a vulnerable population. This is where my crossroads was revealed. After researching and networking, I realized I could use a PMHNP (psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner) degree to serve the public health population. There is a growing demand for mental health and addiction services in vulnerable populations. The revelation that I could do both, confirmed my original desire to pursue an advanced nursing degree in mental health. 

           Obtaining a Master’s Degree will allow me to have a more profound impact on the vulnerable population that I already serve. Master’s level prepared nurses have the ability to identify, apply, and explain why evidence-based standards of practice are important while being involved in the evolution of nursing practice (Laureate Education, 2018). It was difficult to choose between an MSN degree in public health or mental health. Researching the Walden University website to obtain as much information as I could to compare the curriculum and career impact for each option helped clarify which avenue aligns most with my professional mission and vision. The various specialties offered for MSN degrees are very well-defined on Walden’s website with enough information to visualize the future academic and career paths that each program offers (Walden University, 2020). After reviewing the information on the website, I felt confident in my decision to pursue the PMHNP specialty.   

There are many professional organizations available that cater specifically to nurses and mental health professionals. I explored a list geared toward the PMHNP profession on the Vanderbilt School of Nursing (n.d.) site and narrowed it down to one that seemed to best fit my professional goals and vision. While I was very interested in the Foundations of Addiction Nursing (FAN), I found that the organization was too specific to align with my overall career goals. I ultimately decided that the International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses (ISPN) would better serve a comprehensive career in mental health. The ISPN website clearly states its mission to promote mental health and support mental health advanced practice nurses. This site provides boundless resources for advanced-practice mental health nurses and students (ISPN, n.d.). Student memberships are available for $35 and include full member benefits, including voting, holding office, and submitting abstracts. Students are required to be enrolled in a graduate program for psychiatric-mental health advanced practice nursing, fill out a membership form, and pay the dues for membership (ISPN, n.d.). I am looking forward to exploring all this organization has to offe(

• Review the Patient Portal Snapshot Scenario. Select one patient for your assessment. Prepare an individualized patient-focused handout for that patient that incorporates care coordination. For the video component of the assessment, you can use the Brightspace video tool or submit a .mp4. Please note the Brightspace video tool is limited to 3 minutes but the video can be submitted in 2 parts.

As a nurse at Memorial Hospital–a large city hospital, you provide care to diverse patients. As you work the nursing units at the hospital, you engage with the electronic health records of hundreds of patients each day as a way of accessing, recording, and developing guidelines for safe and quality patient care. Today, you have accessed a patient portal to help you develop and design educational materials for your patient. As you review the pertinent information in the patient portal, you begin considering how you will communicate these educational materials to your patient. After gathering your thoughts and obtaining the necessary history and medical needs of your patient, you are ready to create and deliver this educational plan to your patient.

This assessment has two-parts.  Click each of the items below to complete this assessment.

Part I: Educational Plan

Design and create an educational plan (brochure or pamphlet) that addresses the following:

1. Include relevant health information necessary to educate your patient on their healthcare needs.
   1. Describe and define the health diagnoses, treatments, and at least one medication listed in the patient portal
   2. Explain relevant statistics and individual health vital signs related to the patient’s medical history
   3. Explain additional sources of support for patients with similar health needs/diagnoses
      1. Consider the context of your individual patient, and be sure to include any recommendations on how to access sources of support based on racial/ethnic background or culture, socioeconomic status, educational background, health literacy and linguistic proficiency
2. Be sure to adhere to health literacy guidelines for your individual patient.
3. Make sure to address each of the six areas from the “Checklist for Easy-to Understand Print Materials”
4. Your educational plan should be visually appealing and relevant to your individual patient.
5. Be sure to support the development of your educational plan by consulting and referencing 3- 5 scholarly references.
6. Length of the educational plan: 1- to 2-pages; include a separate page for you reference list.

Part II: Delivering Your Educational Plan

When delivering your educational plan to your patient, include the following:

1. Record a 3- to 5-minute video presentation detailing how you would communicate this educational plan to your patient.
2. Be sure to incorporate patient-centered care strategies in the design and delivery of your educational plan.
   1. Be sure to not just read the educational plan you created, but rather, consider how you would engage with your patient based on health literacy, culture, and background when educating your patient based on their health needs
3. Include a plan for care coordination.
   1. Explain your plan for care coordination based on the educational plan you developed.
4. Be sure to speak clearly and confidently when presenting your educational plan to your patient.

Assignment 05: Forming Your Research Question or Thesis

 Once you’ve received approval for your research topic from your professor, you must decide what question you’ll try to answer, or what argument you’ll try to prove in the course of presenting your research. IT is also time to begin to research your topic and develop your reference list.

You must develop a research question or thesis that can be addressed effectively in a 4-page paper. This video from ProQuest Research Companion, “Thesis Statements as Debatable Claims,” gives more information about thesis statements (and the questions they answer).

As you develop your thesis statement or research question, consider:

.Do you have a “burning question” about this topic? What is it?

.Do you already have a strong opinion about this topic? Do you want to “take a stand”?

What to Submit for this Assignment

For this assignment, choose one of these purposes and expand on it in more detail in 5-7 sentences. If you have a question, describe it and speculate about how you will answer it. If you have a strong opinion, state clearly what it is, and why you believe it to be true.

Below your paragraph, include 2-3 credible sources that you are considering including in your paper. Cite them in APA style.
