Incorporating Nursing Practice

Good Evening Steve,
Great post! I agree that nursing practice cannot be limited to past experiences and traditions anymore. With limited resources and rising cost of healthcare, finding ways to improve safety, efficacy, and quality of patient care while reducing cost is of utmost importance. Incorporating evidence-based practice (EBP) allows each nurse an opportunity to use their skills in scientific inquiry. A patient centered care necessitates nurses to question current practices that are not working or are not as safe, efficient, or cost-effective for the patient. In the past, patients use to stay in the hospital until they finish their course of intravenous (IV) antibiotics if there is no oral antibiotic that can be given to treat the infection.

    Ebnp Pros And Cons

    Great job to all members of this group, I enjoyed reading your points in favor of EBNP and other points that against nurses using EBNP only. It is true that EBNP does not discard all nursing theories but used those ones that can be proven to improve quality of care and still relevant for our days as focused on nursing practice shifted to the use of research work and technology in nursing care.” Nursing profession, as a practice discipline sanctioned by society, is expected to incorporate the best sound evidence of patient care with the clear purpose of improving that care. Evidence- based nursing practice is more than use of research because it includes all forms of practice knowledge. In essence, evidence- based nursing is a discipline in…

    Nursing Scope Of Practice Analysis

    The ANA outlines the measures, actions, and methods that comprehensively describe nearly every aspect of the practice of nursing (White & O’Sullivan, 2012, p. 11). In addition, due to the potential harm of a person that can result from untrained or incompetent nursing, all states have enacted rules and regulations that govern licensure of nurses. A nurse’s scope of practice is limited by their license as defined by law and includes specific educational requirements, clinical experience, and specific demonstrated competencies.…

    Every day, nurses are keeping up with evidence-based practice and updating their nursing practice. Innovation does not have to be a large change- it takes one person to light the fire. As the nurse conducts the assessments and evaluations, they can determine whether their interventions were successful. If not, they change their practice by involving new medications, equipment, or assistance from others. On a bigger level, there is a wide variety of medical and pharmaceutical companies that create new machines and medications that provide improved care.…

    Reflective Essay: Nursing And The Scope Of Practice

    This case didn’t shock me when I read because I had the similar scenario witnessed in my clinic two years ago. I started my job at the clinic and was assigned to shadow “the best” LPN with 30 years of nursing experience. Before I start, I need to admit that I learned a lot from her. At first, I was impressed by her knowledge and confidence in her nursing job. Her interaction with patients, knowing them and their parents/relatives, and her easiness performing her duties were amazing example for me.…

    Advance Practice Registered Nurses: Case Study

    The State of Texas currently has many restrictions on Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRN). We are one of thirty-two states in the United States that require Nurse Practitioners to work in a collaborative/supervisory relationship with a physician. Connecticut recently became the 18th state to allow Nurse Practitioners to practice independently (Lowes, 2014). Bill SB 751 for the 84th legislature was introduced by Senator Jose Rodriguez. This bill is aimed at granting Nurse Practitioners in our state autonomy from physician supervision and full prescriptive authority.…

    Nursing Practice Reflection

    I have a similar view compare to yours, I firmly believe that nurses or advance practice nurses do apply theories, models and principle in daily nursing practice, however, the theories, models and principles are simply gone unnoticed. There is room for improvement to enhance the awareness of theories, models and principles that are being applied, however I believe that does not represent the theory-practice gap. I appreciate your expression on how you have gained deeper understanding of the theories that you have learned, and you are planning on including more theories into future practice. I have adjusted my philosophy after the semester of learning. At beginning of the semester, I simply believe one particular theory will support my advance…

    Implementation Of Evidence Based Practice

    As you stated the advanced practice nurse (APN) must center care on evidence based practice. Implementation of best practices consists of the APN assessing and planning care based on best practices and with the knowledge of cultural values and beliefs.

Development of this competency promotes positive patient outcomes. While evidence based practice has proven to produce improved patient outcomes, reduced health care cost and improved clinical patient satisfaction, it is calculated its use is 55% (Vincent, Hastings-Tolsma, Gephart & Alfonzo, 2015).…

    Healthcare Finance: Ongoing Change

    Healthcare Finance: Ongoing Change Healthcare in the United States (US) is a progressive movement that is constantly changing. Some may say these changes occur in hopes of providing the highest quality of care without causing undue financial burden to the largest group of citizens. Unfortunately, potential changes brought on by the American Health Care Act (AHCA) may be a step backwards when considering financial hardship to the most vulnerable of society. When comparing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with the AHCA, it would suffice to say that healthcare change has more to do with power at the top than what’s the greatest good for the greatest number of people.…
