Directions:
Research change theories from scholarly literature resources. Choose a change theory and correlate the steps of the theory to a change that has occurred in your clinical area.
Did the change follow the steps well?
Was the change made successfully?
If it did not go smoothly, how would you have improved the process?

Describe the components of the healthcare delivery system including public health services and public health nursing (CO 1, 2)

Cases
M.T.
is a nurse practitioner in a busy OBGYN clinic. Her clients include women
from    various socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. M.T. spends her time
educating    women about interventions for a healthy pregnancy.
She
promotes the physical, mental, and spiritual health of her clients throughout      the childbearing years. Although she primarily works with the pregnant woman,       her ultimate goal is to assist each family to have a healthy pregnancy and
birth     outcome and lay the foundation for satisfactory parenting and family
life.
Questions for the       case
M.T. participates in community
health fairs educating childbearing-age women      about healthy lifestyles that
can improve chances for a healthy pregnancy.             Women should be made aware that
certain preconception interventions may          improve not only the outcomes of
pregnancy but their overall health as well.             Design a plan that fits the needs
for the health fair that M.T. is participating. List   the recommendations and
the rationales.
answer the specific question on the table above. Then, continue to discuss the 2 topics listed below for your case:
Describe the relationship between culture and growth and development. Assess whether all growth and development milestones should be applied to all children regardless of cultural background.
Design a teaching plan for parents regarding injury prevention during infancy. In your teaching plan you must include the home of an infant injury proof.

Choose ONE Case Study to respond to:
Case Study One: A 48-year-old female patient presents to the facility complaining of headache and sore throat. The patient reports having a fever of 100.6°F in the last 24 hours, which returned to normal after she took 1,000 mg of acetaminophen. The patient has a history of seasonal allergies; however, she reports that they usually affect her in the spring, and they are never accompanied by fever. As it is now October, the patient is concerned that she may be getting the flu. The patient reports receiving a flu shot at work but thinks the shot may have exposed her to the flu virus. Vital signs taken upon arrival are within normal limits with the exception of temperature, which is 101°F.
Questions
Many of the symptoms reported lead you to suspect viral rhinitis as the cause of the patient’s symptoms. What other symptoms reported by the patient would support your theory of viral rhinitis?
If the patient has viral rhinitis, what would you expect to see upon physical examination?
Feeling confident in your initial theory of viral rhinitis, you are still concerned about the patient reporting a previous fever and the fever noted upon arrival. When you inquire about any nasal discharge, the patient reports that when she first began sneezing, the nasal discharge was clear, however, it has progressed to a thick, greenish-yellow color. Does this rule out viral rhinitis?
Are further diagnostic tests indicated for this patient? If yes, what tests should you order?
To relieve the symptoms experienced by the patient, what treatment regimen is indicated for this patient?
Add a short intruduction and short conclution on the discussion 

Out of the 3 scenarios, I choose congestive heart failure. 
Create a 2-4 page resource that will describe databases that are relevant to EBP around one of the diagnoses found in the provided PDF supplement and could be used to help a new hire nurse better engage in EBP.
The purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role, but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research, as well as support them through the initial evidence location process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be analyzed and utilized to stay current on best practices. This allows them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes.
For this assessment:
Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.
Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to the diagnosis in this scenario and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
Describe where you might go in the work place to complete this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other online sources.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.
Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis/practice issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources.
Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue within the context of a specific health care setting.
Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis/practice issue.
Explain why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue.
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.
Note: While you are not selecting and evaluating specific evidence to help with the clinical diagnosis/practice issue, you should still be citing the literature and best practices to support your description of your communication and collaboration approach. Additionally, it is appropriate to cite best practices related to EBP and evaluating databases to support your explanation as to why you selected the five sources of online information that you did.
Your assessment should meet the following requirements:
Length of submission: 2-4 pages (not including the title page or the reference page) description of communication, collaboration, and evidence location process, including a list of databases or other sources with description of why they are appropriate for clinical scenario diagnosis/health care issue (that is, something that would be useable in professional practice for other nurses). Be sure to include an APA-formatted reference page at the end of your submission.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of three sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than five years old.
APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
