  • Title: Ethical Dilemmas and Policies Impacting Care Coordination for Cardiovascular Patients: A Focus on the American Heart Association

    PDF attached with two topic options.
    attaching all photos and info I have. I am so over school and almost at the finish line so I’m paying to get these last 3 classes I have done. pertaining to rubric I need…..
    Policies that create ethical dilemmas or consequences related to care coordination and the American Heart Association could still be Medicaid/Medicare coverages versus the specific/unique needs of a patient. Access to care could also be an ethical issue for specific patient populations. Costs of care is another ethical dilemma. While the dilemmas may not apply directly to the
    AHA, they still impact patients requiring cardiovascular care.
    1. Discuss 2-3 governmental policies that impact the care coordination of your selected organization.
    Examples could be: Affordable Care Act, HIPAA, Nursing Home Reform Act, CMS, Hospital
    Readmission Reduction Act, etc. Provide specific examples of how each policy impacts the care coordination for your audience.
    2. Discuss ethical dilemmas or consequences of specific policies as it relates to the care coordination of your target audience. (as noted above)
    3. Assess the impact of the Code of Ethics for nurses and coordinating care. What are some social determinants of health, and how do they contribute to health disparities or access to care for the patients of your audience? Examples: Age, race, education level, income, geographical location, etc.
    Resources for this assessment could include your selected policies, CMS, AHRQ, Healthy People 2020, American Nurses Association Code of Ethics, etc.
    you do have to do American Heart Association but it’s an example. I need speaker notes under each slide, and a SEPARATE word document with all the speaker notes in APA format (headings for different sections and reference page). I will of course complete the audio portion. I also attached an example speaker notes paper. my classmate sent just to give an example. it’s not on the same subject.
    please hit all competency (rubric) requirements

  • “Exploring the Philosophy and Practice of Adult, Children’s, and Learning Disability Nursing: A Critical Reflective Log”

    I am a mental health nursing student so I can not use that field of practice. I have chosen, adult, childrens and learning disability.
    Throughout your programme, you are expected to gain experience
    in the philosophy of the different fields of practice and engage in
    meaningful experiences in theoretical learning or practice learning
    (simulation or placement). Based on these experiences, you must
    write a series of reflective commentaries in your “Salford Nursing –
    Personal Development Record (PDR)”, considering the NMC
    platforms of proficiency standards (NMC, 2018) and the differences
    between each field.  
    For your summative academic assessment in the ‘Leading &
    Empowering in Integrated Nursing Practice’ module, you will submit
    via Turnitin a Reflective Log critically evaluating the exposures to
    three separate fields of practice based on this work within your PDR.
    You will write three separate entries within the Word Document
    template provided, and these will vary depending on your own
    chosen field of practice. Throughout your Critical Reflective Log,
    confidentiality must be maintained to ensure places, people and
    specific events are not identifiable, therefore any names and
    identifiable information must be anonymised.  
    You are expected to provide underpinning evidence within your
    critical reflective log, following APA 7th guidelines for in-text citations
    and a final reference list at the end of the document. In text
    citations should be included when considering underpinning
    evidence-based research, guidance, publications; however a
    reflective log also includes your reflection upon learning which does
    not require detailed referencing.
    Within each of the three exposure entries in your Critical Reflective
    Log, they must be at least 500 words in length, and must include the
    following to meet the assessment criteria:
    1. Brief description of the exposure in theoretical learning or
    practice learning in simulation or placement.
    2. Critical evaluation of the similarities and differences between
    your exposure and your own field of practice supported by
    evidence.
    3. Discussion of your learning and how it will benefit your
    practice as a future registered nurse supported by evidence.
    4. Mapping to the NMC platforms of proficiency standards
    (NMC, 2018) e.g. 1.7, 5.1.
    Q. Is there an estimated word count for each area within the table?
    A. There is not a word count for each column it is 500 for each exposure. The final column
    (numbers only) is not included and the main wording will be in the middle two columns, see
    below for further guidance
    Column 1- one sentence e.g attended a spoke placement on a Child and Adolescent Mental
    Health (CAMHs) inpatient ward.
    Column 2- similarity /difference (Must link to literature)
    Students identify one difference e.g during my exposure to CAMHs the approach to care
    utilised attachment theory as part of care which is an element of care I have not observed
    within my own adult/ CYP/ MH field of practice. Attachment theory is….. (support with
    theory). This was utilised by….. (link to theory). There have been criticisms of this approach/
    theory made by….. (theory reference). The benefit observed in practice was…..
    Column 3- relating to impact on future practice (Must link to literature)
    Students need to link to how this one area of difference will impact on their practice in their
    own field e.g. having observed the use of and now having gained an understanding of
    attachment theory and its impact on care I will consider this in my future practice by
    considering how relationships may be impacted upon due to challenges with early life
    attachment….. (link to theory)
    Column 4- NMC standards (numbers only no words)
    1, 2, 5 & 6 (Not included in word count because it is numbers only no words)
    End reference list is not included in the word count.
