Evaluate leadership and management attributes that support critical decisions for nursing practice

You have recently started a position as a department director with five managers reporting to you. Earlier today, one of your managers reports that a client expired on her unit. She suspects that a factor that may have contributed to the client’s demise may be related to the actions of a nurse on her unit. This nurse has several notes in her personnel file that reflect potential client abuse. You and the nurse manager both have concerns that this sentinel event must be investigated.

Later in the day, the Chief Nursing Officer asks you to speak to new nurse managers to share attributes of leadership with the plan of enhancing their leadership skills. You see an opportunity to combine the situation of the client with a bad outcome, due to the alleged influence of one of the nurses, while building information to share this real-life situation with new nurse leaders.

Instructions

As a follow up to the investigation of the client’s unexpected death, generate an internal memo to your managers to reflect leadership and management attributes and include steps taken to investigate this unfortunate situation. As you create this memo, keep in mind that you should include:

At least five leadership and/or management attributes for nurse leaders, as well as how they can improve client outcomes.

Steps you would take to ensure the collection of data regarding this incident.

Describe how transformational leadership style may influence the process of investigating this professional nurse colleague that reports to one of your unit managers.

CHose a topic

 

The purpose of the Term Paper is for you to explore a health care topic in depth, collect information about that topic, analyze that information, and make recommendations.

The topic of the Term Paper can be any area in the health care system that is of interest to you and that you want to explore further (it could be a topic that is covered later in the semester). The topic should have a narrow focus, and not a broad focus, such as Medicaid fraud. An example of an acceptable topic is comparing Medicaid fraud in two states or how has health care technology progressed in a specific state, what are its successes and failures?

The Term Paper is a research paper, which will have the following sections:

introduction,

specific health care issue you will explore,

literature review,

findings, and

discussion, conclusions, and recommendations.

The Term Paper, itself, is due at the end of the course, Week 15. The Term Paper should be at least 12 pages double spaced, excluding the title page and the references, and be in 12-point font, Times New Roman with normal 1-inch margins. The paper should be in American Psychological Association (APA) style. You will need at least 8 references in your paper. While newspaper articles provide information, they are not considered references for the Term Paper. References should be things such as, academic articles or government reports.

The assignment for this week is to submit two to three paragraphs that describes your Term Paper topic and what you will do in the Term Paper. The Term Paper Topic assignment
