    Introduction
    This assessment provides an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for a hypothetical patient with a selected health care problem.
    NOTE: You are required to complete this assessment after Assessment 1 is successfully completed.
    Preparation
    You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Cultural Competence activity prior to completing this assessment. Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment.
    In this assessment, you will evaluate the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1 using best practices found in the literature.
    To prepare for your assessment, you will research the literature on your selected health care problem. You will describe the priorities that a care coordinator would establish when discussing the plan with a patient and family members. You will identify changes to the plan based upon EBP and discuss how the plan includes elements of Healthy People 2030.

    Context
    Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.

This is an unplanned pregnancy, and Sanya tells the nurse that she wants an abortion. Sanya feels that, although abortion is discouraged by Indian culture unless it is necessary to save the mother’s life, she should terminate the pregnancy. Her boyfriend, the baby’s father, is a Caucasian American, but her parents have already arranged for her to marry an Indian man in India. Sanya would prefer to marry her American boyfriend.

  • The Impact of Implicit and Explicit Bias on Conflict Resolution in Healthcare Settings Paragraph one: As someone considering the perspective of implicit and/or explicit bias, the impact on conflict resolution within the interprofessional team is significant. Implicit bias, which refers to unconscious attitudes

    Step 1: Review the scenario below.
    You are a preceptor training a nurse who is new to your floor. One client in your shift assignment has Sickle Cell Anemia and requires a complex regimen of oxygen, intravenous (IV) fluids, and pain medication to manage their illness. During interprofessional team rounds, the new nurse states, “I think this client is just seeking pain medication and they aren’t really in that much pain. We should stop giving them so much medication and consider discharge to make room for clients with real illnesses.” 
    The conversation stops and interprofessional team members are unsure what to say to address the new nurse’s statement. Everyone is upset by her statement, and they begin to argue. The attending physician tells everyone from the team to pause rounds and meet in the conference room in five minutes to resolve this conflict. 
    Your assigned perspective is: You are assigned to consider the different components of this scenario through the perspective of implicit and/or explicit bias.  
    Step 2: Answer the discussion prompts below with explanation and detail.
    Paragraph one: A supportive work environment is crucial to resolving conflict in any healthcare setting. What is the impact of your assigned perspective on conflict resolution within the interprofessional team? 
    Paragraph two: Different work environments bring their own unique challenges and opportunities. How would the impact on conflict resolution be different, from your assigned perspective, if the healthcare setting had a highly diverse staff? 
    Paragraph three: Engagement from all levels of staff is vital to understanding and addressing conflict. From your assigned perspective, how can engagement from staff contribute to understanding and addressing conflict resolution?
    References: Provide complete references for all citations.

  • Title: Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Interventions for Reducing Falls in Elderly Patients in Nursing Homes: A Quantitative Analysis

    Dear Writers, 
    I need assistance with a systematic review assignment in nursing. The assignment consists of two parts, but I currently need to focus on the first part as outlined in the resources I have provided. 
    I plan to work with the same writer for the second part since it is related to the first. Initially, I need your help in identifying a clinical/practice problem. I intend to use a quantitative research design, so please develop a PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) question as stated in the criteria and present it in a table format. 
    Additionally, please find an article on a topic that has not yet had a systematic review and explain why this topic is significant to nursing. This will form the basis for my assignment. I need 10 references within 5 years. 
    Please refer to the “excellence” section of the marking rubrics to ensure high quality, as I need a good grade for this paper. I am running out of time and would greatly appreciate your prompt assistance. Let me know if you need any further information. 
    Word count to be 1000 words +/- . 
    Thank you. 

  • Title: Understanding Hematologic and Gastrointestinal Complications of Alcoholism: A Case Study of Robert

    Two recent peer reviewed nursing journals (within the past 5 years) are used.
    Robert is a 68-year-old who has dealt with alcoholism for over 30 years. He has cirrhosis and is anemic. His appetite has declined, and he regularly complains of abdominal pain. Recently, while preparing himself a sandwich, he cut his finger deeply with a knife. The wound bled profusely, and he used a kitchen towel to stop the flow. Refusing to go and seek medical assistance, he put ice on his finger and wrapped the towel around it. He sat down in his recliner with his hand over his head and fell asleep.
    Anemia and clotting disorders are common features of alcoholic liver disease. What are the mechanisms that cause these hematologic disorders?
    What gastrointestinal bleed is associated with a high mortality rate in those with advanced cirrhosis? What is the pathophysiology of this condition?
    Acute pancreatitis is sometimes seen in the alcoholics, particularly after binge drinking. Why are tachycardia and hypotension indications of this condition?
    Why are women more predisposed to alcoholic liver disease than men?
