Learning needs assessment paper for nursing students in clinical setting

Paper instructions:
I need a Learning Needs Assessment paper with 4 references that discuss the target pop.; the differences between learner needs and organizational needs; how you would analyze the perceived needs of the learner and compare these to the actual needs; how you would use the data collected to prioritize the identified learning needs; and discuss a philosophical or theoretical framework used when developing the method. It also needs to include a developed learning needs assessment tool that could be used on a step-down floor to teach the nurses or in a clinical instructional setting for new nurses with a literature search to determine how to develop and administer the tool.

The nursing department always wants the latest and greatest equipment.
As you can imagine, the CEO receives numerous requests, oftentimes financial, from facility directors and department managers. Some of the most common requests include

Team-Building and Communications

In this scenario, everyone in class works for CommonGood Health Care, a community-based health care campus comprised of a health care clinic, hospital, skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility, Alzheimer’s House, and an inpatient chemical dependency facility.

As you can imagine, the CEO receives numerous requests, oftentimes financial, from facility directors and department managers. Some of the most common requests include:

•The nursing department always wants the latest and greatest equipment

•The dietary department keeps asking money for new utensils •The maintenance department is always running out of tools

•The business office wants money to update the billing system

•The chemical dependency facility wants its own exercise facility

•The quality assurance department keeps asking money for training •The Alzheimer’s House keeps requesting money for games and activities

In this scenario, you are a facility director (Clinic Director, Hospital Administrator, Nursing Home Administrator, Assisted Living Executive Director, Alzheimer’s House Manager, or Licensed Alcohol and Dependency Counselor) or a department manager (Maintenance Director, Social Service Director, Activities Director, Nursing Director, etc.) asking for money from your CEO for a legitimate expense within your department.

You can either use one of the examples above or create one of your own. The request should be a legitimate expense for a proposed purchase or initiative that you believe will benefit the department and the organization.

In your initial reply, develop an email to the CEO of CommonGood Health Care asking for the funding you desire for your department/facility. Be sure to substantiate your expenses and the legitimate reasoning for the request. This is your opportunity to persuade your executive leader to support your initiative.

Responses to Others: 1.You are required to reply to one of your classmates as a fellow coworker and support their initiative (and their request for financial support).

2.Likewise, you are also required to reply to one of your classmates as a fellow coworker and politely refute their initiative (and their request for financial support).

In your responses, be sure to discuss areas identified, missed, and/or overlooked with your colleagues’ postings. Also, politely comment to others in response to their initial reply.

What health risks associated with obesity does Mr. C. have? Is bariatric surgery an appropriate intervention? Why or why not?

The case scenario provided will be used to answer the discussion questions that follow.

Case Scenario

Mr. C., a 32-year-old single man, is seeking information at the outpatient center regarding possible bariatric surgery for his obesity. He reports that he has always been heavy, even as a small child, but he has gained about 100 pounds in the last 2–3 years. Previous medical evaluations have not indicated any metabolic diseases, but he says he has sleep apnea and high blood pressure, which he tries to control with sodium restriction. He current works at a catalog telephone center.

Objective Data

Height: 68 inches; Weight 134.5 kg
BP: 172/96, HR 88, RR 26
Fasting Blood Glucose: 146/mg/dL
Total Cholesterol: 250mg/dL
Triglycerides: 312 mg/dL
HDL: 30 mg/dL
Critical Thinking Questions

What health risks associated with obesity does Mr. C. have? Is bariatric surgery an appropriate intervention? Why or why not?

Mr. C. has been diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease and the following medications have been ordered:

Magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide (Mylanta) 15 mL PO 1 hour before bedtime and 3 hours after mealtime and at bedtime.
Ranitidine (Zantac) 300 mg PO at bedtime.
Sucralfate/Carafate 1 g or 10ml suspension (500mg / 5mL) 1 hour before meals and at bedtime.
The patient reports eating meals at 7 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m., and a bedtime snack at 10 p.m. Plan an administration schedule that will be most therapeutic and acceptable to the patient.

Assess each of Mr. C.’s functional health patterns using the information given. (Hint: Functional health patterns include health-perception – health management, nutritional – metabolic, elimination, activity-exercise, sleep-rest, cognitive-perceptual, self-perception – self-concept, role-relationship, sexuality – reproductive, coping – stress tolerance.)
What actual or potential problems can you identify? Describe at least five problems and provide the rationale for each.
