Ethical Considerations for EBP

Ethical Considerations for EBP

Comments 0 Comment

After completing the ethics assignment, I can say that my understanding of nurse’s contribution to ethical conduct of research and implementation of research findings has not changed significantly but rather encouraged my belief. Nurse’s play such a significant role in the the ethical conduct of research since they work so closely and interpersonally with each and every patient. This means they see each and every patient for their own unique circumstance rather than just a population or disease that would…

As a nurse, it is important to provide the best care for your patients. One of the ways one ensures they are providing the best care possible, is through a basic understanding of ethics. By considering all evidence of the situation, a nurse should be able to prioritize the patient’s needs while also living up to their Code of Ethics. Generation can also play a role at times in which ethical beliefs can be formed through the way one was…

Appraisal and Synthesis

Appraisal and Synthesis

Comments 0 Comment

Through evidence appraisal and synthesis, I discovered more about my topic in terms of treatment for these mothers and the cognitive development of the infants after they are born. The research that my group has discovered throughout this process has allowed me to learn more about Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) as well as the neurological effects of opioids on the developing brain of an infant. During this process, my assumptions about the topic have not changed. I still believe that…

Throughout the process, my team and I had to revise the question slightly to emphasize what our focus was. Originally, our PICOT question focused on if neonates exposed to opioids in the womb had a greater risk for birth defects. However, after analyzing the question we decided to primarily research neurodevelopmental delays in neonates exposed to opioids rather than birth defects as a whole. By doing this we were able to isolate our research more and specify what birth defects…

I anticipate that through this group project many things will be accomplished apart from the project itself. I see myself learning to work better collaboratively as a team on a common goal. This is a very important skill in nursing as well as research in general since research is often conducted by a group of individuals trying to answer an important question. I also hope to accomplish useful group time management skills to be sure that we all do not…

Stigma and Mental Health

Stigma and Mental Health

Comments 0 Comment

The stigma around mental illness is primarily rooted in the views of society. Public stigma focuses on the stereotype that anyone with a mental illness is incompetent, weak, or simply crazy. Though this is not true about individuals with mental illness it does cause people to often be dishonest about their feelings or thoughts in which they are afraid of facing this public stigma and the label of being mentally ill within society. The reason I believe there is so…

How I Made a Difference

How I Made a Difference

Throughout my clinical experience, I felt as though there were multiple moments I made a difference in which it could be something simple as talking with a patient who may be lonely or even just making them feel heard. One specific example that comes to mind when I think back to how I made a difference during clinical would be when I took the time to stop and listen to a patient during my rotation. While clinical is focused on…

Medication Reconciliation Project Reflection

Medication Reconciliation Project Reflection

Comments 0 Comment

When working on the medication reconciliation project, I learned a lot about the importance of reviewing a patient’s medications as well as patient education in general. For this assignment, I had a patient on five different medications, two of which were over the counter medications, in which I was able to compare them as well as research each individual medication and make a plan for patient education. In terms of safety concerns, this patient had a few minor ones but…
