The nursing process is commonly used to manage change or to problem solve. Using the nursing process, apply the steps of the nursing process (assessment, analysis and diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation) to describe your change topic to your peers. You are required to use 1 scholarly resource in addition to your textbook.
The steps of the nursing process are helpful in all aspects of the nursing profession. In the beginning, we learn the nursing process which includes assessment, analysis and diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation in relation to a patient and the development of care plans (Jarvis, 2020). However, the nursing process can actually be used to implement a change in a healthcare facility. We can access the facility and gather information about what is going on that may require a change. We then analyze all of this information we have gathered in the assessment phase and come up with a hypothesis or a diagnosis. Once we have arrived at this diagnosis or what we think the problem is from gathering the information in the assessment phase, then we are going to start planning. The planning phase is going to be our desired outcomes, what do we hope to achieve, what are our goals? Then we are going to implement interventions in hopes that we achieve our goals and resolve the problem that we have a identified. The very last step would be to evaluate our process and determine if we did in fact resolve or improve the problem or was our change successful. As a reminder, we could have a great plan in place however we did not meet our objectives or outcomes. This does not mean it was a complete failure, we just need to re-evaluate our process and see what we need to change to make our process successful. We can learn lessons from failed attempts as well. I look forward to your discussion!

Please respond with one reference for each post thanks

As a registered nurse I would need to recognize and respect their parental decision making regardless of my own beliefs. This is known as parental autonomy. As a nurse this is important to validate the parents feelings and beliefs so they can continue to trust and respect myself as well as other health care staff. I could be respectful and state “Provided is some information from th CDC on the hepatitis B vaccination.” This would still give them a chance to ask any questions they may still have while also not trying to push any type of conversation with them. (Kushner et al., 2021)
For the Hepatitis B vaccine, I could provide different types of educational materials. They could include the overview of the vaccine and what it prevents. I could also discuss the timing schedule of the hepatitis B vaccine. This vaccine is given soon after birth, then again at 1-2 months of age, and a third dose given between 6-18 months of age. (CDC, 2019) Then I could also discuss the safety of the vaccine. From the CDC it describes the success of the vaccine for preventing hepatitis B as well as the pros and cons of the vaccine for children. It would also be important to educate the parents on the disease hepatitis B as well. Hepatitis B is a dangerous virus that affects the liver and can cause cancer and liver damage. Infants who are born to a mother who has hepatitis B may also have the virus but not show any signs until later in life. (Kushner et al., 2021)

The vaccines undergo substantial amounting of testing before licensed, once in use there is close monitoring for safety and efficiency (CDC.gov, 2019). Vaccines must be stored and administered properly, on a strict schedule to avoid rare side effects (CDC, 2019). Vaccines should not be administered when a contraindication occurs such as illness, sickness, preterm child (CDC, 2019), to prevent adverse reactions. Adverse reactions are reported and closely monitored (CDC, 2019). I would refer Clarice’s mother to the CDC website. I would also include that many diseases or viruses have been eradicated due to vaccines such as polio, smallpox, chickenpox, rubella, measles. These have crippled several and killed many over the years, now they’re unheard of, very rare to have in the US.  I would educate her with these facts and let her make her own decision after hearing all of the facts and discussing the previous diseases or viruses that have eradicated since immunizations have been created.
