I want to take this opportunity to discuss our new granted privilege to prescribe controlled substance. There are five classes of substance considered under the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 2019).

Image result for controlled substances act

The privilege for Nurse Practitioners(NPs) to prescribe controlled substance was legally approved in Florida, the last state to grant such a privilege for midlevel practitioners, in 2017( Kellangs & Maye, 2017).  Once licensed as Florida NP, you will need 2 hours of controlled substance prescription CEUs and to apply for the DEA license. The application cost $ 731 and it’s valid for three years. NPs are required to have a controlled substance agreement with the supervising physician.

Do you think the ability to prescribe controlled substance benefits the Nurse Practitioners practice? Why or why not?

3. Consider nursing from the prospective of a philosophers’ concern with knowledge and the essential elements of nursing as a scientific discipline also concerned with ethics and aesthetics.
4. To strengthen graduate level writing skills. 
(Graduate level writing displays critical thinking skills. The writer demonstrates the ability to see various sides of an argument: he/she questions assumptions, avoids commonplaces and develops a clear argument from professional experience and/or the available literature on the subject.)
Assignment:
Write a reflective paper on your vision of professional nursing from your present perspective in time. 
You may consider the meta-paradigm concepts of nursing, human being, health, environment and nursing.

Reflective Paper:Word limit: 1000 words
Guideline for reflective journal Reflection and reflective practice are widely used in the nursing literature and this method can bridge the gap between theory and practice and of developing and articulating tacit knowledge (Hillerik, 2012). Reflection in practice is the process that involves recalling thought and memories to make sense of a significant event, so that necessary changes to teaching practice are identified and recommended (Bagay, 2012; Coutts, 2014). The purpose of this reflective journal is to provide students with the opportunity to do personal reflection on the issues related to current nursing knowledge and practice learnt in this course. Critical analyses with logical arguments in the reflective paper are crucial. The paper documents the students’ reflective thinking and learning that has taken place, and the feelings they have experienced in the entire learning process. The objective is to allow students to be able to reflect on the learning experience of issues related to nursing knowledge and practice from the course as well as the group project.

Written report should be typed on A-4 size paper, double line spacing, 12 font size and single sided page. Referencing style should be referred to APA system (American Psychological Association).

Looking Ahead
IN-BASKET ASSIGNMENT
TO: Agency Health Education and Health Promotion Personnel
FROM: The Director
RE: Looking Ahead
We are doing long-range planning for the agency. Please submit a two-page report describing the historical achievements in prevention efforts facilitated by local, federal and professional organizations. In your report, identify the health issues of the 19th and 20th centuries and the social factors that influenced public health communication in addressing these health issues. Predict what you think will be the major health issues for the next decade. Which of these can be most impacted by health education and health promotion?
The weekly Assignments are meant to replicate actual communications between supervisor and employee in a public health organization. These weekly emails are requests from your “Boss” and should be treated as such. In other words, there are no strict formatting or length requirements. However, you will be graded on your professionalism as well as your content. Your instructor will be “grading” you as a supervisor, so, do your best!

In order for information to be shared between systems, whether electronic or manual, there must be a common format, language, or dialect that supports the system interface. In health care, there are many of these interfaces, and they provide standard ways in which health information can be exchanged. For example, Health Level Seven (HL7) is an accredited standards development organization that develops standard languages, which define how electronic messages sent between healthcare providers are formatted. Using the Internet, research other types of communications interfaces used in health care. Share your findings with the class, specifically in terms of applications for the interface you found. For example, how does it work? Why is it used? 300 words

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.

Based on the feedback offered by the provider, identify the best approach for teaching. Prepare a presentation based on the Teaching Work Plan and present the information to your community.

The community health RN is caring for a family with a child who has significant developmental delays. The child is 9-years-old and exhibits the development of a 6-month old infant.  She can move her extremities spontaneously, hold her head up and cry out occasionally. She has a gastrostomy tube for her medications and she receives continuous tube feeding via pump.  She was discharged 2 days ago after a 5-day hospitalization for failure to thrive.  During the hospital stay, the child’s tube feeding formula was adjusted to meet her growing needs. The community health RN is monitoring the child after discharge, following up on the child’s weight and the parent’s knowledge of the new feeding formula type, amount, and schedule. Today the child weighs 64 pounds. The child’s current weight represents a 2 pound weight gain since hospital admission.

The RN has chosen the NANDA-I nursing diagnosis of Ineffective health management r/t insufficient knowledge of expected growth and calorie requirements AEB parent states, “I thought the same tube feeding would be enough calories for a long time, I don’t know how to tell if the feeding should be adjusted.”

Initial Discussion Post:

  • Compare and contrast narrative documentation with SOAP/SOAPIE/SOAPIER- style documentation.
  • Create a documentation entry to describe the community health nurse’s first visit based on this scenario using SOAP/ SOAPIE/SOAPIER-style documentation. Students may embellish the scenario with additional patient information or parent’s response to teaching if desired.

Question Description

Prepare this assignment as a 1,500-1,750 word paper using the instructor feedback from the Topic 1, 2, and 3 assignments and the guidelines below.

PICOT Statement
