In a 5–7 page written assessment, assess the effect of the patient, family, or population problem you’ve previously defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group you’ve chosen to work with and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. 
Introduction
Organizational data, such as readmission rates, hospital-acquired infections, falls, medication errors, staff satisfaction, serious safety events, and patient experience can be used to prioritize time, resources, and finances. Health care organizations and government agencies use benchmark data to compare the quality of organizational services and report the status of patient safety. Professional nurses are key to comprehensive data collection, reporting, and monitoring of metrics to improve quality and patient safety.
Preparation
In this assessment, you’ll assess the effect of the health problem you’ve defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend at least 2 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry experts.
To prepare for the assessment:
Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed.
Conduct research of the scholarly and professional literature to inform your assessment and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.
Review the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 2 [PDF] (SEE ATTACHMENT) , which provides guidance for conducting this portion of your practicum.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s Writing Support page.
Instructions
Complete this assessment in two parts.
Part 1
Assess the effect of the patient, family, or population problem you defined in the previous assessment on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend at least 2 practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also consult with subject matter and industry experts of your choice. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form. Use the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 2 [PDF] (SEE ATTACHMENT) provided for this assessment to guide your work and interpersonal interactions.
Part 2
Report on your experiences during your first 2 practicum hours, including how you presented your ideas about the health problem to the patient, family, or group.
Whom did you meet with?
What did you learn from them?
Comment on the evidence-based practice (EBP) documents or websites you reviewed.
What did you learn from that review?
Share the process and experience of exploring the influence of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy on the problem.
What barriers, if any, did you encounter when presenting the problem to the patient, family, or group?
Did the patient, family, or group agree with you about the presence of the problem and its significance and relevance?
What leadership, communication, collaboration, or change management skills did you employ during your interactions to overcome these barriers or change the patient’s, family’s, or group’s thinking about the problem (for example, creating a sense of urgency based on data or policy requirements)?
What changes, if any, did you make to your definition of the problem, based on your discussions?
What might you have done differently?

Pain management comes with its own inherent legal and ethical risks. As an advanced practice nurse, you must understand these risks and the guidelines designed to ensure a safe legal and ethical medication administration practice while protecting both patient and prescriber.
This week focuses on the pharmaceutical treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders and pain management. 
Review the Javier Fuentes Case Study. 
Javier Fuentes Case Study
Javier, a 41-year-old Hispanic male, visits the community walk-in clinic for an ER follow-up. He was seen yesterday in the emergency room for a right ankle fracture involving both the tibia and fibula, which occurred yesterday morning while playing soccer.
He was discharged from the emergency room after being placed in a cast and provided with crutches and instructions to ensure he remains non-weight bearing until follow-up.
Ibuprofen and acetaminophen were recommended for pain. He has a follow-up appointment with orthopedics in 3 days.
Javier reports minimal pain relief despite ibuprofen, acetaminophen, rest, ice, and elevation. 
His current pain level is reported at a 9 out of 10, and you note the patient to be uncomfortable and grimacing in pain.
It has been decided to treat Javier’s pain with an opioid analgesic.
Assessment Deliverable
In a 700- to 1,050-word paper, address the following:
Access your state’s opioid guidelines and the CDC’s Clinical Practice Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Pain. What are the ethical and legal concerns to consider when prescribing an opioid for acute, short-term pain management?  (USE COLORADO) 
Using these same guidelines, consider if the legal and ethical concerns change when prescribing an opioid for the management of long-term, chronic pain? If so, how?
Based on the guidelines reviewed, what opioid would you recommend for treating Javier’s pain and why?
What resources are available to help ensure safe prescribing for this patient? Are there any database checks required by your state to help you identify potential issues with drug diversion?
What patient education would you need to provide to Javier regarding the opioid prescription?
Cite a minimum of 4 scholarly resources to support your answers.
Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
