•    Research and analyze Roy’s Adaption Model; annotated bibliography attached to be used for references (please use 2 references to complete highlighted section and please list references used on a reference sheet)

•    Please place the question first and then the response below the question. Requirement is 2 current scholarly peer reviewed references for each question; each reference is to have a corresponding in-text citation, APA formatting and information that supports the discussion and a minimum of 275-350 words each question (this is excluding the references).  Absolutely no more than 0-5% of each response is to be cited. Be sure to include the essential APA elements per the 6th Edition (do not use you first person, third person, or past tense). Please make sure verbs and nouns agree with each other. In addition, make sure you provide a reference with a page or para number after a direct quote.

o    Here is an example of APA formatting:
There are three types of qualitative designs ethnography, phenomenology, and grounded theory. The design type that would best fit at my facility is that of phenomenology. This type of design seeks to examine peoples’ life experience and the essence of the phenomena (Polit & Beck, 2012). My facility is a busy level one-trauma center in Phoenix, which serves acutely ill patients, and their families in traumatic life events. An example of how this design type would research the phenomena in this facility is to examine the experience of patient’s family in the care of patients in traumatic arrest while in the emergency department. In a recent study by Hung and Pang (2011), a phenomenological approach was used to examine the experiences of family members’ presence during resuscitation in an emergency department in Hong Kong. The aim was to observe their experiences in this crisis dealing with their loved ones.

What is the percentage of veterans who retire or separate from the service who attend a Department of Labor Employment workshop with less than 90 days remaining on their service contract (excluding use-or-lose/terminal leave and house/job hunting time-off)?

Note: The study would present that adequate preparation for this major transition is needed and less than 90 days is not adequate and could be a contributing factor to a higher unemployment rate of veterans.

2. Peruse the literature; select 4 or 5 articles that relate to your research question; and read with a purpose to identify gaps in information or ambiguities that help to clarify and justify your research question.

3. Based on your review of the literature, discuss the following items in your Case assignment paper:

? Show why your research question (in original format or revised) needs to be answered (for example, does it address controversies or debates, or fill a gap, found in the literature?)

? Describe the theories that support your research question (for example, are there any theoretical models that need to be tested empirically as suggested by your research question?)

? Identify the best methodology to conduct a study to answer your research question (please explain your response).

? Describe how answering your research question (with completion of prospective study) would add to the research already completed.

To receive maximum credit, you must demonstrate understanding of context and purpose of the assignment by bringing all required elements (described above) to the discussion, and meeting additional expectations (described below).
Include at least three in-text references, preferably including one which is other than those provided in the assigned readings. Feel free to do additional research as necessary.

As Master’s level students, it is expected that you develop strong skills for reviewing literature.
The Bibliography and overall paper must be formatted properly in APA format and style.

HINT: To ensure a well-organized paper, begin your discussion with an introduction (including purpose statement), and then include a section for each assignment task. Be sure to include appropriate headings for each section. Also, include a conclusion.

Write a 500 word paragraph on an issue of safety that you explored in some depth, ensuring it is specifically related to the specialty area (perioperative setting).

assignment

Order Description

This assignment consists of three tasks. Each task is to have certain number of words and requires neither an introduction nor conclusion. References used for this assignment must not be older than 2009 and must be Australian ones.

Task One looks at the specific rights and responsibilities of the registered nurse in a specialty clinical area (perioperative setting), including from the perspective of keeping the nurse and her/his patients/clients physically and emotionally safe. It also raises the issue of legal responsibilities and identifies issues specific to the specialty area.
Write a 500 word paragraph on an issue of safety that you explored in some depth, ensuring it is specifically related to the specialty area (perioperative setting).
The website bellow will help you establish a basis for your reflection and enable you to complete the activity. However, this 500 word paragraph is to have another 3 references.

Task Two-write a paragraph of 600 words on your understanding of the dilemma of providing information to carers while considering the confidentiality concerns relating to the patient/client. This 600 word paragraph is to have 3 references. Don’t forget to consider the ethical implications in your consideration of the issues.
Task Two looks specifically at the rights of clients and in more depth the rights of their carers in the process of treatment and recovery. It raises some questions about how the nursing profession views and deals with the rights of the carers and their need for information, particularly in the context of patients/clients who may lack insight in their care needs.
Where are the carers in the healthcare law and ethics’. It is important to understand that while the holistic approach to health care is preferred it is hard to balance the rights of all parties. What is the nurse’s role in ensuring carers and patients/clients have a say and that all opinions are respected. Sharing of information is fundamental to this consideration. The carers play an important role in providing information to health care professionals but do they have any rights to be consider in the decision making of care if there is no legal directive. The patient/client has rights but do the carers have rights as well. Further to this ethical theorie are often at the foundation of nurse’s approach to care. Ethics of Care theory claims that moral agents (carers, clients, health care professionals and institutions) are not separate entities and that the application of universal ethics is not in appropriate. This theory is based on consensus ethics which incorporates the views of all involved in care (Freegard & Isted, 2012).
Most health care organisations have a patient charter or similar document that is given to patients or clients in the care of the organisation, to explain their rights.
• Find this document for your specialty area (perioperative setting) and read it.
• Consider, who is it aimed at and does it include the rights of the carers as well?
• Is the organisational charter proscriptive in nature allowing no room for flexibility based on ethical considerations
It would also be worth finding out if the health care organisation has specific policies to cover the rights of patients/clients and their carers.
• Go to the organisation’s policies and procedures manual or web page, and find out what the relevant policies are.
• Are there policy for each party or just a general policy that is inclusive, again is there flexibility in the policy
Jot down some answers to these points as they will assist you in completing this assessment task.

Task Three- write a 550 word paragraph on your reflection from the activity bellow. This paragraph is to have 3 references including the reference bellow.
The activity: Read Brian’s story (the link bellow) and write a reflection on how that has changed your perspective or given you some insight into the meaning illness has for Brian’s wife as his care.
http://www.palliativecarensw.org.au/pdfs/PCNSW-A-Journey-Lived.pdf
This task gives you the opportunity to explore how the various people we interact with in the health care environment make meaning of their illness and of their situation. It also gives you the opportunity to reflect on how you relate to that and to make meaning of your own experiences.
When writing your reflection make sure you consider your own perceptions, morals and ethics.

Transition into Professional Practice

Order Description

Module Aim
The aim of this module is to develop the students’ understanding of the complexities of professional nursing practice and facilitate transition to becoming a confident registered nurse.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this module students should be able to:
1. Analyse and apply the concepts of competence and accountability to own and others practice, considering the legal, ethical and professional issues.
2. Evaluate the processes involved in the transition to registered practitioner, development of future professional practice and life-long learning.
3. Contribute to the development of competency of others through effective use of professional and personal development skills and positive role modelling.

You could start by considering the nature of accountability.
1. Consider the evidence that you submitted in your year 1, year 2 and year 3 OAR for domain 1 (Professional and Ethical Practice). Think about how this changed in the light of your changing responsibility and accountability.

2. Compare the evidence, does it demonstrate growth and development?

3. Look at this in relation to the performance levels required of you in each year and in particular at the end of this year. What significant changes will occur with registration?
This section should be 1700 words

4. Present a learning needs analysis and an action plan designed to meet your needs. Please use the template provided. This should be 800 words (equivalent) and be an in depth exploration of 1 or 2 learning needs. Please make sure you are using SMART goals and that your actions are measurable, you may also wish to consider how your learning will benefit patient care.

Indicative Module Content
This module will build on the learning and understanding developed through the modules Leadership for Professional Practice and Delivering Safe Effective Care 1 and 2. There will be a focus on the development of self awareness and the impact and influence of behaviour on others using a personal development planning approach. The concepts of emotional intelligence, shared beliefs, values and governance will be discussed, in relation to the development of the student as a nurse with leadership responsibilities. The importance of recognising behaviours in others that may influence the quality of patient care will be explored along with the consideration of strategies that can be employed to reduce the impact on patient care. Frameworks to support the development and assessment of competency of others will be explored. The module will provide students with opportunities to develop their own strategies to ensure the safety of patients through careful consideration of professional accountability taking account of legal, ethical, moral and societal perspectives. Students will be invited to debate the issues of confidence versus competence of the newly qualified nurse.

Indicative Assessment
1. A critical reflection on development during the Programme in relation to changing accountability, to include legal, ethical and professional issues and how this development will be maintained through transition into a registered nurse.
