National Patient Safety Goals Paper

Question Description

National Patient Safety Goals Paper

The Joint Commission (JC) is an independent, not-for-profit organization. They accredit and certify more than 19,000 health care organizations, including Long Term Care facilities (LTC) in the United States. The Joint Commission had established, and updates yearly, the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG).

Your assignment is to choose one of the Long Term Care NPSG’s. Then, research your chosen topic and write a 750 word APA paper. Your paper will include the following information:

  • Describe the NPSG you chose and why (Be sure to write in the voice of the third person.)
  • Describe the concerns related to this goal.
  • What are the consequences to patient safety if the goal is not achieved?
  • What are the evidence-based practice solutions you have found in your research?
  • Use APA format. Follow the APA example loaded in ANGEL under “course material.”
  • Use only peer-reviewed articles published within the past 5 years.
    • No Wikipedia
    • No .com’s.Only .org, .edu, .gov
  • Have a minimum of 3 references.(You may use the NPSG website as one reference).
  • Two (2) references must be peer-reviewed and from a reputable NURSING JOURNAL. CINAHL is a good place to start.
  • When writing a paper, use only third person. Do not use terms like ‘me,” or “I”.
  • You may use as many references as necessary to complete your paper.

Follow the link and choose the Long Term Care goals for 2016.

  • Learning Outcomes
  • Overview
  • Resources
  • Self Checks

Introduction

This week students will focus on the concepts of understanding the human being as their own personal processor. In addition, we will discuss Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis. Students are expected to read Chapters 2 and 6 in the Lecci & Magnavita text, complete the discussion questions, and complete the written assignment. The text will focus on the various concepts such as the person as a processor. These concepts will include, but are not limited to, a complete overview of Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis and the theories of Pinker, Mischel and Bandura. Students will also be reading the Schustack & Friedman text to explore the concept of explanatory style and the debate over what psychoanalysis is or should be.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Describe the processing and psychodynamic theories of personality. (Aligns with CLOs 1, 3)
  2. Analyze the applicability of these theories to the current profession of psychology. (Aligns with CLOs 2)

Fetal Abnormality

Fetal Abnormality
Write a 750-1000 word analysis of “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality.” Be sure to address the following questions:

  1. Which theory or theories are being used by Jessica, Marco, Maria, and Dr. Wilson to determine the moral status of the fetus? Explain.
  2. How does the theory determine or influence each of their recommendation for action?
  3. What theory do you agree with? How would that theory determine or influence the recommendation for action?

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

  • Case Study: Fetal Abnormality
    Jessica is a 30-year-old immigrant from Mexico City. She and her husband Marco have been in the U.S. for the last three years and have finally earned enough money to move out of their Aunt Maria’s home and into an apartment of their own. They are both hard workers. Jessica works 50 hours a week at a local restaurant and Marco has been contracting side jobs in construction. Six months before their move to an apartment, Jessica finds out she is pregnant.
    Four months later, Jessica and Marco arrive at the county hospital, a large, public, nonteaching hospital. A preliminary ultrasound indicates a possible abnormality with the fetus. Further scans are conducted and it is determined that the fetus has a rare condition in which it has not developed any arms, and will not likely develop them. There is also a 25% chance that the fetus may have Down syndrome.
    Dr. Wilson, the primary attending physician, is seeing Jessica for the first time, since she and Marco did not receive earlier prenatal care over concerns about finances. Marco insists that Dr. Wilson refrain from telling Jessica the scan results, assuring him that he will tell his wife himself when she is emotionally ready for the news. While Marco and Dr. Wilson are talking in another room, Aunt Maria walks into the room with a distressed look on her face. She can tell that something is wrong and inquires of Dr. Wilson. After hearing of the diagnosis, she walks out of the room wailing loudly and praying aloud.
    Marco and Dr. Wilson continue their discussion, and Dr. Wilson insists that he has an obligation to Jessica as his patient and that she has a right to know the diagnosis of the fetus. He furthermore is intent on discussing all relevant factors and options regarding the next step, including abortion. Marco insists on taking some time to think of how to break the news to Jessica, but Dr. Wilson, frustrated with the direction of the conversation, informs the husband that such a choice is not his to make. Dr. Wilson proceeds back across the hall, where he walks in on Aunt Maria awkwardly praying with Jessica and phoning the priest. At that point, Dr. Wilson gently but briefly informs Jessica of the diagnosis, and lays out the option for abortion as a responsible medical alternative, given the quality of life such a child would have. Jessica looks at him and struggles to hold back her tears.
    Jessica is torn between her hopes of a better socioeconomic position and increased independence, along with her conviction that all life is sacred. Marco will support Jessica in whatever decision she makes, but is finding it difficult not to view the pregnancy and the prospects of a disabled child as a burden and a barrier to their economic security and plans. Dr. Wilson lays out all of the options but clearly makes his view known that abortion is “scientifically” and medically a wise choice in this situation. Aunt Maria pleads with Jessica to follow through with the pregnancy and allow what “God intends” to take place, and urges Jessica to think of her responsibility as a mother.
