Week 7 Discussion Forum

    

  • Although we know you did not complete a full research project, you  completed the research proposal with an idea of what your actual results  could be. If you ever do complete a full research project, an important  step is making sure your research is published/disseminated so that  other nurse educator professionals can benefit from your hard work.  There are many ways to disseminate information in nursing as seen in  your text, including many different nursing journals. As a nurse  educator, you will engage in professional development and find  peer-reviewed information to share with your students. Think about your  proposal and where it might fit if it were published. Describe how you  would disseminate your work and the reasons for your choice.

Summary of strengths:

With my previous clinical rotations, the guidance of my preceptor and my classes, today I can say that my knowledge has advanced, and I can apply it as a professional to patients and their families. I feel very safe working with other professionals, working as a team and applying and identifying ethical and legal dilemmas. I have observed the progress in issues of psychiatric evaluation, in pharmacology, in psychotherapies that in these next clinical rotation and classes I must continue advancing to achieve my complete confidence.

Opportunities for growth:

Despite my confidence in my knowledge of psychiatric evaluations and pharmacotherapeutics, practice may help me diagnose patients and create treatment strategies. I may also require more competence in selecting evidence-based clinical practice guidelines when designing psychotherapy treatments. I can enhance my screening instrument implementation and data interpretation to make recommendations and referrals. This self-assessment gave me goals and objectives to help me learn these skills.

Now, write three to four (3–4) possible goals and objectives for this practicum experience. Ensure that they follow the SMART Strategy, as described in the Learning Resources.

1.

Goal: Confidant in psychiatric evaluation

a.
Objective: To recognize more confidently in children and adolescents the signs and symptoms in psychiatric evaluations.

b.
Objective: To recognize more confidently in adults and older adults the signs and symptoms in psychiatric evaluations.

c.
Objective: To be most confident (independent) At the end of my clinical rotation with the recognition of signs and symptoms.

2.
Goal: Improve the development and prioritization of the list of differential diagnoses.

a.
Objective: To review the diagnostic criteria of the DSM and the list of differential diagnoses during my clinical rotation.

b.
Objective: Create a differential diagnosis list and discuss with my preceptor.

c.
Objective: To be more confident in the formulation of the diagnosis based on DSM -TR and to discuss it with my preceptor.

3.
Goal: To choose evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for a medication strategy.

a.
Objective: To systematically evaluate the pharmaceutical classes and the literature on side effects.

b.
Objective: Evaluate and choose evidence-based medication strategies for children and adolescents.

c.

Objective: Evaluate and choose evidence-based medication strategies for adults and older adults.

Please provide positive comments with reference to each paragraph. Thanks

1-Cognitive techniques are a group of tools that psychotherapists use to give the patient the opportunity to identify and modify thought patterns and beliefs that guide the way we interpret situations and determine our feelings and emotions regarding these events. 

2-Exposure Therapy: Exposure therapy is a logical and progressive strategy of facing perceived or avoided situations, entities, or thoughts. Controlled exposure helps people face and manage their concerns, reducing distress and improving coping skills. Exposure treatment is crucial to treating phobias, PTSD, OCD, and other anxiety disorders 

data analytics

 Scenario:  

Your organization is planning to purchase a tool for data analytics. You have been asked to make a recommendation for two tools. 

Your organization is also researching the application of data warehousing, big data, and data mining. You have also been asked to make an evaluation of how data warehousing, big data, and data mining can be beneficial to a healthcare system. Some members of your audience may be unfamiliar with these concepts, so part of your goal is to provide background information.

 

  • Research two data analytics tools that you would recommend in response to the scenario above.  
  • Thoroughly investigate the specifications of each tool and consider the pros, cons, and hardware requirements of each tool. 
  • Using supporting evidence from the articles you researched, create a PowerPoint presentation with the following information:
    • Recommend two tools for data analytics and explain why they would be beneficial to your organization.
    • Provide a description of big data, data mining, and data warehousing.
    • Provide an analysis of how data mining can be beneficial to a healthcare system.
    • Explain the purpose, characteristics, and components of a data warehouse.
    • Explain how the type of data warehousing used can impact the ability to mine data.
    • Describe examples of the successful use of guided data mining and automated data mining within healthcare.
    • Support your work with references from this week’s Learning Resources and the three articles you found in the Walden Library.
  • Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your assignment total.
