SCENARIO

Complete the incident form on the next page for the following hypothetical scenario

  (Suggested word count 200 words)  (10%)

You are admitting a patient, Zuri Abimbola, 72 years of age to the ward.  Zuri has been admitted with a urinary tract infection and you learn that she has a history of mild dementia. She lives in supported residential accommodation.  Zuri is asthmatic and uses Ventolin inhaler as required: she is halfway through a course of prednisolone for exacerbation of asthma. She is partially sighted, and you are informed she has left her glasses at home.  Zuri has a history of falls both at home and on previous admissions.

After handover you notice that Zuri’s mouth appears very dry, and she asks for some water.  She tells you she has not had anything to drink all afternoon.  Her water jug is full, but she tells you she can’t pour it herself due to the shakes in her hand caused by her medication. Zuri’s daughter just arrives to visit and when learning of her mother’s difficulties, and apparent lack of care, challenges you.

POWER POINT PRESENTATION ON CANNABIS-MUST USE INFO PROVIDED IN ATTACHED DOCCUMENT

This article needs to be a report of a research study published in the past five years.

When deciding which research study might work well for Assignment 1, look for a study in which you can clearly identify the research question, approach, ethical considerations, design, and findings.

Tip: Depending on your discipline (nursing,), choose appropriate search terms to narrow the field to discipline-specific research to find an article written by researchers from your discipline.

Prepare a brief (8–12 slides) PowerPoint presentation to disseminate the details of this research study.

The content of your presentation must include a title slide indicating the title of the presentation, your name, and your credentials. Next, you will include a clearly stated research question, and then accurately identify the research approach (qualitative or quantitative). Ethical considerations such as issues related to consent, research ethics board approval, and treatment of vulnerable populations should be outlined. The details related to the research design need to be described briefly. An important part of this presentation is dissemination of the research findings. The findings are the answer to the research question. People are usually most interested in the findings, so address these in some detail. Additionally, use a slide or two to provide your perspective as to the value of the study findings to evidence-based/evidence-informed practice.

The format of your presentation will also be graded for number of slides (8–12); accuracy, conciseness, readability of slides; design of slides; accuracy of grammar, spelling, and punctuation; and accuracy of APA format on your conclusion slide that cites the article using current APA format.

Welcome to NURS 1450 Leadership and Management in Adult Nursing

You are about to qualify as an adult nurse which is a complex and diverse field of nursing.  The scenarios in this workbook provide you with the opportunity to apply knowledge of professional issues to realistic scenarios that you may face in the workplace.

It is important that you discuss and relate leadership and management styles and other relevant material taught in the module within these scenarios. You are advised to refer and include the NHS Leadership Model. You may also wish to link the impact of COVID 19 to the issues you discuss in the workbook.

These scenarios relate to the following professional issues:

  1. Care and compassion (compulsory)
  2. Time Management and prioritisation (option A)
  3. Risk management (option B)
  4. Safeguarding (option C)

You should complete two reports centred around a discussion of the professional issue in relation to the outlined scenario.  Professional issue 1. Care and compassion is compulsory, you may choose 1 other and for each:

  • Write a concise report of 1250 words therefore, total word allowance is 2,500. You may use sub-headings to structure your report.
  • Provide an overview of the professional issues raised in the scenario and outline the potential impact of these on patient outcome supported by relevant contemporary evidence.
  • Critically discuss with rationale how you would respond to this scenario demonstrating safe and effective practice in line with The Code (NMC 2018).
  • You should discuss related professional issues such as leadership, accountability, confidentiality and the patient experience.
  • You should discuss practice implications in relation to relevant national or professional guidance and policy
  • You may provide one reference list for both reports.

 

You should refer to additional guidance provided by the Module leader in the assignment preparation sessions on the Module and on the Module Moodle shell.

The summary

  1. Start by introducing the argument to the reader and its importance
  2. Indicate the reasons and evidence for the argument.
  3. Discuss the reasons and evidence against the argument.
  4. Summarise both points of view and discuss and explain your own viewpoint.

If you struggle with knowing a clear process of building your work you may wish to consider an eight-stage approach to building critical appraisal skills in our writing developed by the author:

Stage 1: Explore the evidence: following your literature review, identify other people’s positions, lines of argument and conclusions.

Stage 2: Using a critical review framework (The CASP, Critical Appraisal Tool is useful, www.casp-uk.net) evaluate the evidence by weighing up opposing arguments and evidence, read between the lines and identify false or biased assumptions.

Stage 3: Examine the bias of opinion and the use of persuasive techniques.

Stage 4: Reflect on issues in a structured way, bringing logic and insight to the forefront of your discussion points.

Stage 5: Draw conclusions about the validity and reliability and justifiability of arguments based on good evidence and supportive ideas.

Stage 6: In academic writing we need to consider if we have explored the whole picture and not just one point of view.

Stage 7: Present your points in a structured, clear and convincing format that appears rational i.e.: we need to identify the reasons for what we believe and do and consider other people’s reasoning.

Stage 8:  Importantly we need to reach conclusions on what we have read, to voice our opinion and look at the impact of knowledge and ideas for practice.
