Identify patient care technologies, information systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice. (PO #5)

Safe Nursing Care: Is There an App for That? (graded)
2. Andrea was working in the cardiac catheterization lab when a young woman undergoing a cardiac ablation started to have small seizures. The nurse noticed these symptoms and asked the physician to look at the patient. The physician asked Andrea to get his smart phone and film the seizures. This video message was sent to a neurologist, and he could tell from the video the part of the brain from which the seizures were emanating. This is one example of using technology. Does this count as safe care? Is there an app for that?

If you could develop an app to enhance safe nursing care, what would it be like?

Discuss the value of best evidence as a driving force to institute change in delivery of nursing care. (PO #8)

IV. Community Nursing Diagnosis and Plan of Care

1. Make a critical analysis (2 pages) between the data presented and the specific problems in Paterson.
You will need to do this prior to presenting your nursing care plan in Part IV. Four issues: Population, Education, Health Statistics, and Social Problems

2. Synthesize all the data you have presented in the previous 3 sections of the Community Assessment Project in order to identify and prioritize 2 nursing diagnoses. Please present all data in charts.

3. These 2 community diagnoses are to be prioritized and identify the rationale and criteria you used in prioritizing the list. To help you prioritize these diagnoses refer to Nies & McEwen, pg. 101. Please explore the Healthy People 2020 website, specifically MAPIt to review innovative programs.

Once you have identified the priority nursing diagnoses, you are to develop a community nursing care plan for the two priority diagnoses. (review Nies and McEwen pg.101 for format of nursing diagnosis). Diagnosis of the community should identify the health needs and strengths of this community. You need to support these conclusions with assessment data found in the body of your project. Be sure, this community nursing care plan includes:

• desired goal and outcome objective for the each priority diagnosis

• feasible plan of action that includes nursing interventions appropriate for each problem identified. Review MAP ITT for ideas

• include the community organizations you would involve in these interventions.

• Identify current programs that are out there and their effectiveness

• develop a strategy for evaluating the effectiveness of your goals and objectives. What outcome measures would you use?
