I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need guidance to help me learn.

Vision of Nursing

What is your vision for the future of nursing? How does your vision fit with the recommendations in the IOM report? What two action steps do you plan to take to promote this vision?

Use the quantitative research study assigned to you by your instructor and prepare a quantitative research article critique by following closely the 10 steps to analyzing quantitative nursing research studies found in Table 6-1 (pp. 96–97) in Keele’s Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice. Sample critiques are also provided in Chapter 6, pp. 98–104. While you can use each step as a heading, use full sentences and paragraph format in your paper. Be sure to include a cover page and a reference page.

I need the research question restructured first before continuing to the other parts.

This week, you will complete the Nature of Study section of the Prospectus Form. For the Nature of Study section, you will explain the systematic approach (research design) you will use to address your research question(s) along with identifying any barriers, challenges, or limitations you may encounter with your study.

To Prepare for this Assignment:

• Consider the research design that would best address your research question(s). Examples of study design include:
  • Quantitative—for experimental, quasi-experimental, or nonexperimental designs; treatment-control; repeated measures; causal-comparative; single-subject; predictive studies; or other quantitative approaches.
• Consider the type of data you will need and the potential secondary data sources that could be used to address your research question(s)
  • Possible secondary data sources, by program, are available on the Center for Research Quality website.
• Consider the specific data points that you will need to answer your research question(s)
• Consider the implications of your research on the field

Complete the Nature of the Study and Significance Sections of the Prospectus Form.

As you work through these sections, use the following information to guide you:

1. Explain the systematic approach (research design) you will use to address your research question(s) and identify barriers, challenges, or limitations that you might encounter within your plan.
2. For your planned research design, present the type of data you will need as well as a list of possible secondary data sources that could be used to address the proposed research question (s). At this point, you should have an idea of the type of data needed to address your research question(s). Identify the data source and how the data will be accessed.
3. Provide the specific data points that you will need to answer your research question(s). Data points are the specific variables or type of information that you will use in your analysis. For example, items on a survey or types of interview questions (not the actual survey or interview questions). When using secondary data, you must ensure the data include the dependent and independent variables or data points that you need to address your research question. You will also complete the limitations/challenges/barriers component of this section.
4. The significance section of the Prospectus Form will also need to be completed. Students should make sure to highlight how healthcare administrators can use the research to make changes in their organizations with the goal of creating positive social change.
5. Update the Supporting Literature section with sources that support the selected methodology, design, and secondary dataset.

What challenges may occur with collaboration? Give an example of the importance of interprofessional teamwork.

Be sure to apply concepts from the readings and research from Yoder-Wise book. You must cite (with reference) at least one source: your textbook, scholarly resources, or ATI textbook (no blogs, Wiki, or other school of nursing website) in current APA Style

Advanced Pharmacology

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease. There are three types of diabetes, such as type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (Diabetes, 2018). Type 1 diabetes is a result of autoimmune reaction when the body stops producing insulin. Therefore, patients with this type of disease need to take insulin on the daily basis. Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent. It is characterized with improper use of insulin by the body and the resulting increase of blood sugar level. On the whole, diabetes is considered to be the seventh cause of death in the United States. Diabetes has some complications. For example, it causes vision loss among adults, can lead to kidney failure, nervous system disorders, digestive disorders, or increase the risk of heart problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Type 2 diabetes is a lifetime managing illness branded with high levels of blood glucose in the body. Causes of the conditions are associated with problems of how the body produces or utilizes insulin in the body. Blood sugar movement in the cells is facilitated by insulin levels in the blood where it is stored and late consumed as energy. Victims of the disease are unable to effectively respond to insulin consumption as well as body organs like liver, fat deposits, and muscles cells fail to respond either, leading to a condition referred to as insulin resistance. As a result, there is blockage of blood sugar movement to cells where they are stored as energy. The later resulting effect is known as hypoglycemia which is the technical term for blood sugar. A body is said to have high blood sugar when insulin in the body cannot utilize insulin effectively.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes occur slowly because even sometimes patients with conditions show no symptoms at first or may take several years. However, early noticeable symptoms include skin infections, bladder, or kidney problems. A patient may experience increased thirst, hunger, and some fatigue. Additionally, symptoms like erectile dysfunction increased urination, and blurred vision may be experienced. The pancreas is responsible to produce enough insulin so as to stabilize blood sugar level in the body cells.

Glyburide help decrease blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin and helping the body to use insulin more efficiently. Glyburide is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Glyburide is in a class of medications called sulfonylureas. Glyburide lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin (a natural substance that is needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body use insulin efficiently. This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally. Glyburide is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may occur if high blood sugar is not treated).

The key teaching points for patients taking oral antidiabetic agents are to engage in diet modification and exercise, signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, avoid OTC drugs and herbal therapies without checking with the doctor first, and monitor blood glucose levels.

Discussion 5

Personhood Discussion 5

Over the centuries, the personhood concept has been defined by different scholars having different ideas on its meaning. First, personhood concepts state how we

define ourselves as persons. Self-reflection, rationalism, and linking self-awareness across time and space through memory represent personhood (Sofronas et al., 2018).

Moreover, the personhood concept comprises intelligence because it allows one to act morally. While the ability to discern between persons and things is required to act

morally, objects are valued because they are desirable and valuable, whereas people have intrinsic value. Finally, in the twentieth century, personhood has been

associated with intelligence and self-awareness that is combined with the three interdependent cognitive abilities, which include: the ability to identify purposeful mental

states in others, use the correct language, and be conscious of everything one does (Sofronas et al., 2018).

Personhood has enlightened nursing researchers about its nature and influence on nurse-patient relationships and patient quality care. Personhood has been a

significant aspect of nursing care, and nurses’ understanding and engagement contribute to better patient outcomes (Sofronas et al., 2018). Patients can live well with

sickness, their symptoms are better managed, and they eventually have good health by incorporating personhood into nursing care practice; hence, personhood is critical

in the framework of nursing caring theory (Sofronas et al., 2018). Further, the nursing care philosophy focuses on nurturing, caring for, and growing people in care. As

defined by the nursing idea, caring is a nurse’s intentional and genuine presence with another person, acknowledged as living and growing in caring. Therefore, sharing

lived experiences enhances personhood (McCormack et al., 2021).

Personhood, or life rooted in caring, is a core notion in the philosophy of nursing as a caring profession. In essence, the nurse must decide whether to accept the

present or find a friendly way to decline it. Every nurse has the intentionality to consider incorporating personhood or leaving the enhancement of personhood

(McCormack et al., 2021). Notably, intentionality has a common characteristic with personhood, which involves unity through consciously integrating desire and purpose

and artistically growing unification, consistency, full consciousness, wholeness, and the creative development of one’s recognizable self (McCormack et al., 2021).

Personhood can also be enhanced in all embodied care relationships generated by a child’s trust, directed by a nurse’s intentionality, and affirmed by a family’s

commitment.

Personhood concepts have shown evidence of their effectiveness in nursing care practice leading to successful patient quality care. Firstly, nurses’ personhood aids in

the development of compassionate and understanding attitudes, especially with aggressive behavior (Sofronas et al., 2018). In addition, nurses can link the life history of

patients, for instance, dementia patients, and their presents, resulting in improved care. Secondly, personhood allows nurses to practice patient-centered care skills such

as active listening, reading between the lines, and connecting with patients on a deep level in a patient-centered care setting (Sofronas et al., 2018). Hence, allowing a

solid relationship between patients and nurses, improving quality care.

Conversely, patients who show personhood might build a sense of self by valuing their words and actions, making it easier for nurses to provide treatment. Also, when

Personhood is incorporated into nursing care, it offers an opportunity for transformative styles of care (McCormack et al., 2021). Accordingly, personhood in nursing

counters prejudice perceptions, privileged Personhood, and citizens are respected (Sofronas et al., 2018). In conclusion, nurses’ expertise in working closely with patients

is encouraged to understand personhood. Personhood is essential in improving a patient’s quality of care. Therefore, it should be a priority in nurse’s care.
