Please use 3 scholarly and peer reviewed questions to answer the questions listed below. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions!
How does admitting patients with psychiatric disorders or problems on a general medical surgical unit affect the way nurses provide care, if certain patients do not fit the criteria to be on a psychiatric unit due to their medical condition, disease, acute or chronic disorders?
How does having a psychiatric patient on a general medical surgical unit affect the hospitals, when patients decide to leave against medical advice and return within a 30 day period as a readmission?
What are some tools that can be used to help in determining the best plan of care or action for patients with psychiatric conditions on a general medical surgical unit? And how can these tools aid in reducing readmissions in the hospital for these types of patients?
How will these tools and studies help medical surgical nurses feel more safe and comfortable when providing care to psychiatric patients that they are not used to taking care on an everyday basis?

Subjective Data:
The Chief Complaint is clear, concise, and verbatim from pt. History of Present Illness is thorough yet concise and provides a chronological account of symptoms and contextual factors that are sufficiently descriptive (OLDCARTS) to validate Dx per DSM-5 TR criteria. All pertinent negatives are included. A longitudinal course of illness is clear. Current psychiatric medications and responses are included. 
Objective Data: 
MSE contains the required elements. It is in narrative form and effectively and vividly describes the patient’s presentation. Concrete examples of all assessment results are included i.e. “able to correctly interpret 2/3 simple proverbs” to validate documentation of “abstract thought intact.” 
Assessment:
The differential is pertinent to signs and symptoms, the formulation contains evidence of critical thought and subject knowledge, and reasonable diagnoses are made per DSM-5. Clearly met criteria for diagnoses tendered are explicit in the HPI (History of Present Illness) description and substantiated with the MSE.  
Plan: 
An evidence-based treatment plan is presented with detailed rationales. The level of detail reflects the student’s ability to choose treatments based not only on FDA approval or current evidence but also on the nuances and unique characteristics of each. The treatment plan is holistic and comprehensive. There is compelling evidence of the student’s synthesis of information and critical thought. Includes neurobiology information on the disorder. 
Writing, Support, APA: 
The format is consistent with the example provided in the course. Clear, recent (5-7 years), scholarly, peer-reviewed support of topics. Minimal grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Writing mechanics include minimal awkward or unclear passages but are consistent with formal scholarly work.
The writer has freedom to make up a mental health diagnosis and patient

Step 1 Reflect on the scenario.
You are a registered nurse who works with wound care patients. J. S. is a 34 year-old woman who had a mastectomy six weeks ago. She developed a staph infection and the surgical site was debrided as part of the treatment.
You now care for J. S. at her home and photograph her wound. The photos are sent to the multidisciplinary care team at the wound center. The team makes changes in the treatment plan based on your assessment and photographs of the wound. A physician in a nearby state also has a weekly video conference with J. S. about the plan of care.
Step 2 Analyze the scenario.
Write your paper using the APA 7.0 formatting style. Cite any and all resources used to complete the assignment and be sure to include a reference list.
Include responses to the following questions in your paper:
What concerns about using tele-health do you have for J. S.?
What potential liability or licensure concerns exist?
What privacy concerns potentially exist?
What limitations might tele-health have in this case?
You are required to provide evidence to support your statements in your submissions. The level of evidence you use to support your statements in your assignment submissions is important and must be properly cited and referenced. Scholarly resources should be < 5 years old, peer reviewed, and from reputable resources. Your textbook and any article you are asked to locate/read should always be used as evidence. The next level of evidence would be peer reviewed articles, and after that, well known web sites for example: CDC or the AHA. Avoid the use of blogs or obscure or non-healthcare related web sites. Never utilize Wikipedia for scholarly work.

Develop a solution to a specific ethical dilemma faced by a health care professional by applying ethical principles. Describe the issues and a possible solution in a paper of 3-5 pages.

For this assignment, you will interview an Advanced Practice Nurse in a practice setting that is a leader within your specialty
OR if you have someone who is a great leader but not necessarily a CRNA leader this is okay, the intent is for you to interview someone who you believes demonstrates excellence in leadership
I chose my stepdad, Raul H. Rodriguez. He is a Chief Firefighter, the highest-ranking officer in the fire department.
Create 8-10 questions that focus on leadership and change within their organization and inquire about a specific problem/issue for which she/he provided a solution or instituted a practice change. 
Questions are:
1. Describe a time when you made a positive change in your organization. What was the issue, and how did you address it?
2. How do you motivate your team to embrace change and new ideas?
3. Can you share an example of a time when you had to lead your team through a challenging change? How did you handle it?
4. What strategies do you use to communicate changes effectively to your team?
5. How do you encourage innovation and continuous improvement within your team?
6. Have you ever faced resistance to a change you proposed? How did you manage it?
7. Share a tough decision you made that led to positive change in your organization.
8. How do you empower your team to take on leadership roles and drive change?
9. Can you talk about a successful collaboration that brought about significant organizational change?
10. How do you ensure that new ideas for change are well received and implemented within your organization?
Include a brief summary of how the practice change was accomplished.  Summarize the highlights and learning points of the interview and provide your interviewee’s background, education, membership in professional organizations, and how long he/she’s been with their current practice, etc.  Lastly, identify some course concepts that are applicable to the leader you interviewed and describe how the concepts are applicable.

Some information from book that can be referenced:
Leadership is the discipline and art of guiding, directing, motivating, and inspiring a group toward achieving a common goal. A great leader requires many components, such as managing people and information, committing to goals and energy, engaging with others and activities, and using power wisely. Leading in nursing is about more than just guiding others toward a desired outcome. It’s about using good judgment, wise decision-making, and knowledge, but above all, it’s about being an advocate. A leader in nursing is a voice for health and dignity, empowering others and taking responsibility for their well-being. (Marshall & Broome, 2021, p.14) As future healthcare leaders, it is important to be a trailblazer because we are the new leaders of our generation. We will lead change to generate human talent and resources to innovate and improve care. (Marshall & Broome, 2021, p.46)
