Maud’s person centered care plan.

Based on the case scenario provided, submit a person-centred plan of care that presents ONE care need, the goal to be achieved, a range of evidence-informed nursing interventions and a rationale for how these will be implemented to achieve the set goal.

Case Scenario

Mrs Maud Bodie (preferred name – Maud) is a 77-year-old woman, married to George. She has three children (all married, living within 20-mile radius), four grandchildren and one great grandchild. Maud enjoys walking the dog and spending time with her family.

Due to underlying medical conditions and ongoing restrictions due to Covid, Maud only goes out once per day to walk the dog. She feels very isolated from her family and is anxious that she may be susceptible to the infection due to her underlying medical conditions. Whilst out walking, Maud tripped and fell, hitting her head and was unconscious for a short period of time, she sustained a laceration above her right eye. Maud was also complaining of severe pain in her right hip and her right wrist. An ambulance was called and took Maud to the emergency department of the local hospital, where she underwent a number of investigations and had sutures to the laceration above her eye. Following X-rays Maud was diagnosed as having sustained a fractured right neck of femur and distal fracture of right radius and ulna.

 Past Medical History:

Maud was diagnosed with heart failure three years ago following a myocardial infarction. She also has a history of hypothyroidism (diagnosed 24 years ago).

Current Medication:

Digoxin 125mcg once daily

Warfarin 1mg once daily

Levothyroxine 50mcg once daily

Current Situation:

Maud was admitted to the trauma and orthopaedic ward and underwent surgery later that evening for right hemiarthroplasty (half hip replacement) and internal fixation (pinning) of the right radial and ulnar fractures. She has now returned to the ward.

Physiological Monitoring on return to the ward:

Respiratory rate: 18 breaths per minute

Oxygen saturation: 95% (28% O2 therapy)

Heart rate: 120 beats per minute and regular

Blood pressure: 100/82mmHg

Temperature: 36.8oC

Current neurological status: A – GCS 15/15 (E4; V5; M6)

Pain score: 9/10

Neurovascular assessment of limbs: pulses present, no parathesia, no paralysis

Conduct research on the current scope of practice for your specialty and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system.

/in /by

Advanced registered nursing graduates are entering the profession at dynamic time when roles and scope of practice are shifting based on developments in legislation and policy in response to the evolving needs of the health care system. Professional nursing organizations play an important role in making sure the perspectives of advanced registered nurses are heard, and in supporting nurse specialties in their efforts to expand their scope of practice and their full participation throughout the health care system.

For this assignment, you will conduct research on the current scope of practice for your specialty and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system. Write a 1,250-1,500-word paper that includes the following:

A discussion of the scope of your future role as an advanced registered nurse, including any regulatory, certification, or accreditation agencies that define that scope.

A discussion of three professional nursing organizations that you think are most influential in advancing the scope and influence of advanced nursing. Of these organizations, evaluate the one that you would most like to join. How do its goals and mission fit in with your worldview and philosophy of care? How might membership in this organization improve your practice?

A discussion of a controversial or evolving issue that is most likely to affect your scope of practice or role in the next few years. How do you think this issue could influence the profession and other stakeholders, and why does it matters to the advanced registered nurse?

You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

o Analyze what the relevant metrics show.
o Explain research or data related to the adverse event or near miss that is available outside of your institution. Compare internal data to external data.
Outline a quality improvement initiative to prevent a future adverse event or near miss.
