Discussion: Collaborative Role of the Nurse
Question Description
In this Assignment, you will put your leadership skills to the test by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally important, you will advocate for the nurse to play a collaborative role in the design and implementation of this program. Assume you are getting ready to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication about the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.
To Get Ready:
Examine the resources and consider your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.
Choose a healthcare program within your practice and consider its design and implementation.
Consider advocacy efforts and the nurse’s role in healthcare program design and implementation.
The Project: (2-3 pages)
Create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions in a 2- to 3-page paper:
Tell us about a healthcare program that you offer in your practice. What are the program’s costs and expected outcomes?
Who is your intended audience?
What is the nurse’s role in contributing to the design of this healthcare program? Can you give some examples?
What is your role as an advocate for this healthcare program’s target population? Do you have any say over design decisions? How else can you have an impact on design?
What is the role of the nurse in the implementation of healthcare programs? How does this role differ between healthcare program design and implementation? Can you give some examples?
Who do you believe are the most important members of a healthcare team for program implementation? Could you please explain why?
I currently work as a rapid
response nurse and wanted to write this paper about early intervention and outcomes in sepsis patients in a hospital setting.
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
