Go to Lesson, Forum in Course.

Class: Introduction to Chemistry with Lab.

Instructions: Your initial post over the material outlined above for Topic should be at least 200 words (these must be words that are typed text within the text box of the Rich Text Editor, thus words on any attached documents will not count towards the total).

To make your posts, click on START A NEW CONVERSATION above:

State your name and Problem Numbers in the title (Title: Jane Doe, Problems 7.43 and 9.39).

In addition to your initial posts to the topics in this Week’s Forum, you are required to also reply to at least two classmates’ original posts, and each reply must be a minimum of 100 words and include direct questions. Your replies can add additional insight to your classmates’ opinions, suggest other alternative approaches, or anything similar. Be sure to read the follow-up posts to your own posts and reply to everyone who comments on your post.

For this topic, you will select two problems from the Chemistry: Atoms First, OpenStax text (in the link there is a book), one problem from each of the following two problem sets:

For Problem 1: You MUST select a problem from the end of the chapter “Exercises” from Chapter 7: Problems 43-95.

For Problem 2: You MUST select a problem from the end of the chapter “Exercises” from Chapter 9: Problems 39-86.

These problems and their discussions will be included together in one post. After you decide which problems you would like to discuss, start a thread in the Topic Forum. You need not fill in the content—only begin a thread with a subject line that includes your name and the problems you will be discussing. When you are ready to fill in the details of the post, you can simply go back into your post and click “Edit” and put the information into your post. By starting your post, you are claiming your problems and no other student is allowed to choose the same problems.

Notice! The first person to post a thread on the Forum with his/her problems in the subject line will be the only one to receive credit for the assignment should their be duplicate choices. Therefore, you should be sure no one has already chosen the problems you wish to investigate.

You need to:
*show work to find solution (you can use an embedded image or the fx button on the Rich Text Editor if appropriate)
*explain in the text how you approached and worked through the problem

Ideally, you will choose problems that you had a hard time solving until something clicked (which you would then explain–what you figured out that you did wrong, etc.). Either way, you should lead a discussion about the problem. This will help everyone go through the thought process of these problems, see different ways that students set them up, compare approaches, maybe learn new strategies and hints, recognize mistakes, etc. If you cannot solve the problem at first, no worries, your classmates and myself will give you help you along and you can edit your problem until it is due. If you are having trouble, show your work and explain where you are getting stuck. Remember, you are not getting graded on whether you solve the problems correctly, but rather the attempt you make and the discussion you have with us related to it. So it will likely be more beneficial to you to select challenging problems with which you need help as opposed to easy ones that you can already solve.

Initial Post Due: Thursday of Week 5, by 11:55pm ET

Assignment: PowerPoint Presentation

A nurse on the research and practice committee is preparing for an update on evidence-based practice (EBP). There is a need to address the potential changes with several EBP policies. This presentation will examine the EBP policies as well as reasoning and rationale as to why changes may be needed.

  • Choose an EBP topic and two scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles
  • Compare the difference between theory, research, and practice in nursing
  • Choose a theory that best correlates with the EBP practice change that you would like to make
  • Compare and contrast the quantitative and qualitative research article that you choose for the EBP topic
  • What technology did you use to locate the articles? Databases? Search terms?
  • What are the philosophical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives in the research articles that were chosen?
  • What are the ethical and scientific integrity issues related to the research?
  • How did your nursing knowledge advance through the utilization of research?

This PowerPoint® (Microsoft Office) or Impress® (Open Office) presentation should be a minimum of 20 slides, including a title and reference slide, with detailed speaker notes on content slides. Use at least four scholarly sources.

Question1a.. response Patchak

Project Completion: Medication workflow

To determine the medication administration workflow I would need to get a good representation on the current methods. I start by acknowledging my own concerns and the things I liked about the current methods. I would also need an adequate population sample of nurses willing to participate in the project. This could be done by handing out questionnaires to the staff in one unit. Once they were completed and returned I would input the results into a spreadsheet type format. I would then move onto other inpatient units within the hospital. The same questionnaire would be used for the other groups as well. I would also need to observe an adequate sample of nurses giving medications, our usually times for medication administration in the morning is 9:00am. I would need to have people who would be willing to help observe how many times a nurse is interrupted, if scanning medications takes place, if the appropriate equipment was available to them, and if the medication was available.

Our current method of medication administration involves the scanning of medications through the use of our electronic health record, it would be interesting to see what improvements staff nurses would like to see done. From my own experience, I have found that things such as not clicking “accept” and interruptions have a huge impact on medication delivery. Our organization makes sure we have the right amount of equipment to ensure that we can properly scan medications and administer them safely. At times it is difficult to administer medications in a timely manner due to delays in pharmacy or the method the physician orders them.

Presentation of findings to leadership

I would present my findings initially to my unit leadership team. I would present them the information in a meeting format and would need to have proper format. I would think that presenting the information in graph format as well as in the form of a research paper.

Question 1b response Koch.

Conduct an analysis of the nursing workflow for medication administration at your workplace.Describe how and what you would do to complete this project.

In the healthcare field, technology and programs for charting is always changing or upgrading. I have worked with my healthcare facility for almost 3 years now and there is talk that they will be changing our charting to EPIC soon. It is a struggle for some nurses who are not tech savvy to keep up with this modern technology and changes. On average nurses spend roughly around 28-50% of their work day charting on the computer. (McGonigle 130) Unfortunately, I don’t know exactly how medication administration is performed at my work because I am still a nursing assistant. I know my work doesn’t have wrist bands to scan, instead the patients have room numbers and their name outside their door.

First: I would organize a redesign team for my analysis. I will choose managers or charge nurses who are head of medication administration or oversee RN’s performing this task. They will find an issue to compete with to fix.

Second: Create a value-added activity. Have the redesign team add name/DOB stickers for each individual’s medications and also that each individual has a wrist band identifier to scan to clarify. Order sets, multi-parameter alerting, nursing care plans, reference content, and drug information databases are five elements of the clinical decision support that KLAS Enterprises has recognized. (Versel, 2011) I believe that wrist bands would help my work tremendously. If a patient is in the hallway asking for medication without a proper identification, the nurse must bring the Pt back to their room to clarify the Pt room number and name on the door. I believe that having a wrist band to simply scan on the spot would save a huge amount of time.

What parts of the process could be supported with computers or other technology?

Computers can be used to allow nurses to chart on their medication distribution. Charting will monitor exactly which nurse is administering the medication, what medication is given, and the patient receiving the medication. Scanners connected to the computers will also be used to scan the wrist band on the patient. After the nurse is done charting for the work day, that nurse can be presented with an evaluation of how this process helps or worsens the workflow for medication administration.

How would you document and present your findings to the facility leadership staff?

I would hold a staff meeting for the nurses who have used this charting for medication administration and the redesign team to discuss the evaluation of the charting and the evaluations. Reveal the percentage who thought the charting process helped the workflow and vice versa. I believe a pie chart would show the impact the value-added activity the best.

write a discussion board using the information presented below using at least 3 professional references APA format

/in /by

Think of a particular day you spent working in a health care environment, and consider three or four distinct points in time. For each point of time, consider the following: With whom did you interact? Which forms of communication did you use? What issues were communicated about—did they seem to be light-hearted or sensitive? Straightforward or complicated? How would you describe the pace of the interactions and your work?

As you consider these questions, it becomes clear that communication can be quite complex, with many layers of meaning that shape the experience for everyone involved. How could this awareness help you to understand instances of ineffective communication when they arise?

To prepare:

  • Review the information in Chapter 19 of the course text, as well as the assigned articles.
  • Reflect on an incident involving ineffective communication within your organization or another health care setting. Consider this incident through the lens of the communication process outlined in Figure 19.1 of the course text.
  • What barriers contributed to this incident? What other challenges may have influenced this situation?
  • Using the information presented in the other Learning Resources, consider what could have been done to prevent or address the ineffective communication. Why do you think the use of these strategies would have resulted in better outcome(s)?

By Day 3

Post a summary of an incident involving ineffective communication. Describe communication barriers and other challenges that contributed to the incident. Propose one or more strategies that could have been employed to promote a better outcome. Be sure to refer to elements of the communication process.
