Nursing Case Study Response Paper

Decent Essays
Hello Hager,
Great response to the questions, I like that you mentioned of ways Ms. Boiko can get involve in her care. For example, you mentioned that “Ms. Boiko can inform us what foods she likes. With the involvement of occupational therapist and rehab, Ms. Boiko can be encouraged to participate in self-feeding”. I agree with you, I believe there are numerous ways in which Ms. Boiko can get involve in her care. I also believe that the nurse should have seek her input and preferences about her care such as nutrition, and answer any questions she might have. I believe she should have also been encouraged to use the call bell to inform / remind staff to position her, thus allowing her to be involve or in control of the care she is receiving.

In Bemidji Minnesota, the CNS or DNP as the preceptor for underserved populations remains a plausible focus. This will require the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS) to champion the role of the CNS in credentialing bodies, DNP schools of nursing to create curriculum changes to include 75 hours of clinical service to underserved populations, offer innovative clinical sites to schools of nursing with available preceptors, and create guidelines to include 75 hours of clinical service to underserved populations to renew an APRN license for state boards of nursing.…

    One community of interest that will be included is the State Board of Nursing. On thing for sure, before starting a new nursing program, it is imperative to verify with the State Board of Nursing that the school is accepted and that the future nursing students are qualified to take the NCLEX-RN exam to become licensed in his/her state. It would be frustrating to discover that one can’t acquire nursing license after graduating from nursing school. Another key point to remember is to investigate if the school is accredited by the regional accreditation bodies or by the national accreditation bodies such as the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) AND Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing…
