Capstone Project Milestone 1:
Practice Issue and Evidence Summary Guidelines
Purpose
Clear identification of the practice issue is the first step in evidence-based nursing. Next, the evidence is reviewed to determine the best intervention to change practice outcomes. Completion of the milestone will include identification of the practice issue using the ACE Star model of Knowledge Transformation and a review of the evidence that will support an intervention that will change outcomes. The evidence summary will be conducted through the ‘breaking down’ of a systematic review on your topic for your change project.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
• CO4: Develops and outlines a scientific, systematic decision-making process to integrate critical thinking with clinical judgment to assure safe and effective outcomes. (PO #4)
• CO8: Selects evidence for best practice when planning professional nursing care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities. (PO #8)
Due Dates
Milestone #1 consists of the completion of two worksheets (Practice Issue Worksheet) and (Evidence Summary Worksheet). Submit the completed worksheets to the Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 3.
Points
Milestone #1 is worth 175 points (75 points for the Practice Issue and 100 points for the Evidence Summary).

Clinical question
“The thoughtful development of a well-structured EBP question is important because the question drives the strategies used to search for evidence”. (Dearholt & Dang, 2012, p.64). My question is: Will Congestive Heart Failure patients discharged from the hospital increase the chance of not being readmitted within 30 days with follow up care that includes post discharge telephone calls for support?
P- (Patient, Population)-Congestive Heart Failure Patients
I-(Intervention)-Follow up phone call at 48 and 72 hours post discharge
C-(Comparison with current practice)-No follow up telephone calls for support.
O-(Desired outcome)-Reduce the number of Readmissions

CHAPTER 2017-54
Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 249
An act relating to drug overdoses; providing legislative findings and intent; creating s. 401.253, F.S.; permitting certain entities to report controlled substance overdoses to the Department of Health; defining the term “overdose”; providing requirements for such reports; providing immunity for persons who make reports in good faith; providing that a failure to report is not a basis for licensure discipline; requiring sharing of data with specified entities; providing for use of such data; amending s. 395.1041, F.S.; requiring a hospital with an emergency department to develop a best practices policy to promote the prevention of unintentional drug over- doses; authorizing the policy to include certain processes, guidelines, and protocols; providing an effective date.
Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
Section 1. (1) The Legislature finds that substance abuse and drug overdose is a major health problem that affects the lives of many people, multiple service systems, and leads to such profoundly disturbing con- sequences as permanent injury or death. Heroin, opiates, illegal drug, and accidental overdoses are a crisis and stress the financial, health care, and public safety resources because there are no central databases that can quickly help address this problem. Quick data collection will allow all agencies to focus on specific age groups, areas, criminal behavior, and needed public education and prevention with the maximum utilization of resources. Further, it is the intent of the Legislature to require the collaboration of local, regional, and state agencies, service systems, and program offices to address the needs of the public; to establish a comprehensive system addressing the problems associated with drug overdoses; and to reduce duplicative requirements across local, county, state, and health care agencies.
(2) It is the goal of the Legislature in this act to:
(a) Discourage substance abuse and accidental or intentional overdoses by quickly identifying the type of drug involved, whether prescription or illegal, the age of the individual involved, and the areas where drug overdoses pose a potential risk to the public, schools, workplaces, and communities.
(b) Provide a central data point so that data can be shared between the health care community and municipal, county, and state agencies to quickly identify needs and provide short and long-term solutions while protecting and respecting the rights of individuals.
(3) It is the intent of the Legislature in this act to maximize:
1
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Ch. 2017-54 LAWS OF FLORIDA Ch. 2017-54
(a) The efficiency of financial, public education, health professional, and public safety resources so that these resources may be concentrated on areas and groups in need.
(b) The utilization of funding programs for the dissemination of available federal, state, and private funds through contractual agreements with licensed basic life support service providers, advanced life support service providers, community-based organizations, or units of state or local government that deliver local substance abuse services in accordance with the intent of this act and s. 397.321(4), Florida Statutes.
Section 2. Section 401.253, Florida Statutes, is created to read:
401.253 Reporting of controlled substance overdoses.—
(1)(a) A basic life support service or advanced life support service which treats and releases, or transports to a medical facility, in response to an emergency call for a suspected or actual overdose of a controlled substance may report such incidents to the department. Such reports must be made using the Emergency Medical Service Tracking and Reporting System or other appropriate method with secure access, including, but not limited to, the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program or other program identified by the department in rule. If a basic life support service or advanced life support service reports such incidents, it shall make its best efforts to make the report to the department within 120 hours after it responds to the incident.
(b) The data collected by the department shall be made available within 120 hours to law enforcement, public health, fire rescue, and emergency medical service agencies in each county.
(c) For purposes of this section, the term “overdose” means a condition, including, but not limited to, extreme physical illness, decreased level of consciousness, respiratory depression, coma, or death resulting from the consumption or use of any controlled substance that requires medical attention, assistance or treatment, and clinical suspicion for drug overdose, such as respiratory depression, unconsciousness, or altered mental status, without other conditions to explain the clinical condition.
(2)(a) A report of an overdose of a controlled substance under this section shall include:
1. The date and time of overdose.
2. The approximate address of where the person was picked up or where
the overdose took place.
3. Whether an emergency opioid antagonist, as defined in s. 381.887, was administered.

Ch. 2017-54 LAWS OF FLORIDA Ch. 2017-54
(b) A report of an overdose of a controlled substance under this section shall also include, if the reporting mechanism permits:
1. The gender and approximate age of the person receiving attention or treatment.
2. The suspected controlled substance involved in the overdose.
(3) A basic life support service or advanced life support service that reports information to or from the department pursuant to this section in good faith is not subject to civil or criminal liability for making the report.
(4) Failure to report an overdose under this section is not grounds for disciplinary action or penalties pursuant to s. 401.411(1)(a).
(5) The department shall produce a quarterly report to the Statewide Drug Policy Advisory Council, the Department of Children and Families, and the Florida FUSION Center summarizing the raw data received pursuant to this section. Such reports shall also be made immediately available to the county-level agencies described in paragraph (1)(b). The Statewide Drug Policy Advisory Council, the Department of Children and Families, and the department may use these reports to maximize the utilization of funding programs for licensed basic life support service providers or advanced life support service providers, and for the dissemina- tion of available federal, state, and private funds for local substance abuse services in accordance with s. 397.321(4).
Section 3. Subsection (6) of section 395.1041, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
395.1041 Access to emergency services and care.—
(6) RIGHTS OF PERSONS BEING TREATED.—
(a) A hospital providing emergency services and care to a person who is being involuntarily examined under the provisions of s. 394.463 shall adhere to the rights of patients specified in part I of chapter 394 and the involuntary examination procedures provided in s. 394.463, regardless of whether the hospital, or any part thereof, is designated as a receiving or treatment facility under part I of chapter 394 and regardless of whether the person is admitted to the hospital.
(b) Each hospital with an emergency department shall develop a best practices policy to promote the prevention of unintentional drug overdoses. The policy may include, but is not limited to:
1. A process to obtain the patient’s consent to notify the patient’s next of kin, and each physician or health care practitioner who prescribed a controlled substance to the patient, regarding the patient’s overdose, her or his location, and the nature of the substance or controlled substance involved in the overdose.
3

UncategorizedFor this assignment, you will be required to review professional, peer-reviewed journal articles related to RTI. You must use in-text citations to reference your ideas and provide one references page that includes all sources used by the group (use APA 7th ed. formatting). I will attach the three peer-reviewed journals.
o Paragraphs should begin with a key or topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph simply. This sentence should provide a context for the reader to understand what is to follow. The paragraph should then be developed to include details explaining, and evidence supporting, the topic sentence. If a paragraph seems to have two key points and both are relevant to your argument, write one paragraph for each point.
Benefit #1: Continuous monitoring of student progress during the interventions, using objective information to determine if students are meeting goals.
Summary of a real and/or perceived benefit of using RTI. Identify a benefit of implementing RTI from the peer-reviewed professional literature. Information must be presented in paragraph form that includes a topic sentence that informs the reader of the focus of the discussion. You must have at least three peer-reviewed articles that present the benefit being discussed (include in-text citations to support your discussion).

Capstone Project Milestone 1:
Practice Issue and Evidence Summary Guidelines
Purpose
Clear identification of the practice issue is the first step in evidence-based nursing. Next, the evidence is reviewed to determine the best intervention to change practice outcomes. Completion of the milestone will include identification of the practice issue using the ACE Star model of Knowledge Transformation and a review of the evidence that will support an intervention that will change outcomes. The evidence summary will be conducted through the ‘breaking down’ of a systematic review on your topic for your change project.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
• CO4: Develops and outlines a scientific, systematic decision-making process to integrate critical thinking with clinical judgment to assure safe and effective outcomes. (PO #4)
• CO8: Selects evidence for best practice when planning professional nursing care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities. (PO #8)
Due Dates
Milestone #1 consists of the completion of two worksheets (Practice Issue Worksheet) and (Evidence Summary Worksheet). Submit the completed worksheets to the Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 3.
Points
Milestone #1 is worth 175 points (75 points for the Practice Issue and 100 points for the Evidence Summary).

Assessment Task 1
Assessment name: Cultural Safety Essay
Task description: The vision of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health
Plan 2013-2023 is:
“The Australian health system is free of racism and inequality and all
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have access to health
services that are effective, high quality, appropriate and affordable”
(Australian Government, 2013, p. 7).
For health professionals to be effective agents in realising this vision they
are required to be culturally safe practitioners, who are literate in the
dynamics of race and racism and their impacts on well-being.
Furthermore, health professionals must be knowledgeable of the
historical and political influences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples’ well-being.
This reflective assignment requires you to first demonstrate your
understanding of the key concepts associated with cultural safety,
and then apply them to context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander peoples’ health and well-being.
In this assessment you will be required to utilise the 5Rs Reflection
Framework to discuss changes in your thoughts and feelings throughout
the initial learning process. Furthermore, discuss the application of
culturally safety to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’
health and well-being context from a profession and individual
perspective.
Learning outcomes 1. Apply the principles of cultural safety to the context of Aboriginal
assessed: peoples and Torres Strait Islanders’ health and well-being to analyse and
advance your current position on the continuum of cultural safety.
2. Describe historical, social, and political issues and how they inform
current experiences of health and well-being, in order to realise
their significance as determinants of current health and well-being
of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders.
3. Discover the everyday experiences of Aboriginal peoples and Torres
Strait Islanders that inform their health care and apply this knowledge
to facilitate effective partnerships with individuals, families, and
communities.
What you need to do: Respond to the follow assessment tasks:
Step 1
Demonstrate your understanding of the following concepts:
a) Compare and contrast personal racism and systemic/institutional

Reflective Framework
This framework will enhance the quality of your reflections, the personal
entries that you choose to elaborate on in your assessment, your thinking
skills, your learning and your practice.
There are several different reflection models that can be used to guide the
writing of your reflections. One of the most popular reflection models is the 5 R’s
framework.

However, his cause of death has been the subject of quite varied scholarly theories and conclusions. Did he die of an injury, of illness, of murder, or something else?• The Death of Tutankhamun: Accident, Disease, or Murder?Who Built the Pyramids?There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as monuments for pharaohs, but how these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery being debated to this day.• Did the Hebrews Build the Pyramids?Assignment InstructionsUse the course textbook and provided sources related to the theories of how/why the topic remains an ancient mystery.

UncategorizedFrom the earliest days of civilization, mankind has realized the benefits of settling near reliable, clean drinking water supplies. Water has always been an important natural resource for cooking, drinking, cleaning, removal of wastes, and in the manufacturing of goods. It was often convenient to get rid of wastes by simply dumping them into a river since they would be carried downstream, away from the source. As populations grew, this practice led to increasing problems. More people equals more waste and downstream communities do not appreciate having someone else’s waste brought to their doorstep. Throughout history, cities have struggled with ensuring their populations had potable water.
One way to manage this important natural resource is to create legislation aimed at preserving the quality of the resource for years to come. In this week’s Discussion, you will look at water regulation in the United States and its impact on water quality. In the U.S., there have been governmental regulations created to protect the water supply dating back to 1886. In recent history, a major move to protect surface waters in the U.S. was the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972. This Act attempts to reduce pollutant discharges into waterways, promote municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and manage polluted runoff. In addition to reading your textbook, do some research to learn more about the Clean Water Act and think about the use of water throughout history using the following references.

In most cases, water treatment involves the removal of solid materials from the water and killing bacteria that may cause disease. You can learn more about what happens during treatment at the following sites:

Many communities are also concerned with the problem of excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus (commonly found in fertilizers) entering waterways. Review the following link to see how these excess nutrients lead to fish kills and other problems when they make their way into the natural waterways:
