1.2: Apply science-based theories and concepts to determine the nature and significance of health and health care delivery phenomena.

The theory of Neuman Systems Model (NSM) focusses on the interactions between clients and environments Example includes infants and newborns in the ICU environment . How this population group may be adapting to this stressful situation . How this stress represent threat

to the infants and how nurses prevent and protects the infants to ensure optimal outcomes.

DNP 820A:

The assignment provided knowledge about applied nursing Theories and the contribution to the healthcare. Peplau’s Interpersonal Relations Theory focuses on the nurse- client relationship and the therapeutic process that takes place.

Safety and quality measures are related to nursing science and have a relationship in the practice .The quality measures are essential in ensuring that the nursing science moves towards evidence-based practice.

1.3: Employ science- based theories and concepts to describe the actions and advanced strategies to enhance, alleviate, and ameliorate health and health care delivery phenomena as appropriate.

DNP 815A: The

assignment facilitated the understanding of how Martha Rogers utilized her nursing hypothesis of “Study of Unitary Human Beings” to advance the nature of medicinal services conveyed to various patients

While the completion, it was discovered the behavioral system model by Dorothy Johnson advocates for effective and efficient behavioral functioning among the patients to prevent them from diseases.

The draft prospectus present two primary models for the project. Kurt Lewin’s change model and the health belief model. Attitudes are important to target because of their ability to inhibit health-seeking behavior.

Implementation of Pamphlet and Video Teaching

Ensuring that the implementation of teaching tools is essential since it safeguards patient health behaviors and enhances patient.

decision-making.

Withing the work it was discovered that the traditional education based on disciplinary specific is less marketable in today’s health care system, and it is imperative to change the focus of education into one that accommodates interdisciplinary experiences.

The purpose of this quantitative, quasi- experimental project is to determine if or to what degree the implementation of using audio- and video-materials with booklets would impact health literacy when compared to booklet strategy among 65 year and older Latino population in a primary care setting in Florida over the

month.

2.2: Demonstrate leadership, influence, and advocacy in the development and implementation of institutional, local, state, federal, or international health policy.

The doctorate in nursing should entail an appraisal of partnership and communication required to advance and sustainability of quality care.

However, such should be conducted with the knowledge of culture’s influence, which helps guide the professional nurse practitioners in offering medical services within their environments. These skills make the doctorates nurses exemptional administrators, and service providers in the care organizations, with cohesion and enthusiasm in giving quality, care their priority.

In a quality improvement project, the budget ensures that all the key resources are available; in leadership roles, its understanding assists in the management of the limited resources in an efficient way.

3.1: Demonstrate the conceptual ability and technical skills to develop and execute an evaluation plan involving data extraction from practice information systems and databases.

The assignment provided knowledge and review the medication orders in the Electronic Health Records by each provider and the teaching approach that the provider implemented and the date of the next visit to primary care office. Data will be collected with standardized data entry through electronic medical records.

Database management is one of the modern technologies applicable to healthcare facilities to offer a patient-centered care system. The database management approach proves vital for handling chronically ill patients, such as hypertensive patients, who require significant management and treatment.

effectiveness of combining audio- video and booklet strategies compared to use of booklets only on patients’ outcomes and frequency of recurrent visits.

3.3: Analyze and communicate critical elements necessary to the selection, use, and evaluation of health information systems and patient care technology.

DNP 805A:

The completion of the Journal showed me different approaches in using informatics.

DNP 820A:

While developing the 10 Point Strategy I decided to use quantitative to evaluate the relation between the teaching methods and decrease number in revisit to the primary care office.

Electronic health records, or EHRs, are real- time reports on a patient’s health and medical conditions. EHR will also prevent any incorrect dosage being administrated by a medical professional.

3.4: Design, select, use, and evaluate programs that monitor outcomes of care, care systems, and quality improvement, including consumer use of health care information systems.

The implementation of CDSS can also influence in economic outcomes by decreasing costs related to medication error. CDSS not only enhances the quality of care, but directly improves patient safety by decreasing common errors and preventing omissions that result in patient harm.

DNP 820A:

During the activity progress ,simulations tools were identified the improve the Hand off Process and to effectively communicate with other members of the healthcare team.

The essential information found in EHR includes treatment plans, patients’ medical history, dates of immunization, diagnosis, and lab-test results. An excellent electronic health record system should comply with Title II of the HIPAA Act, which demands that patient health information be kept safe and private.

This approach may

5.3: Design, direct, and evaluate quality improvement methodologies to promote safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient- centered care.

DNP 825A:

DNP learners should understand the significance of corporations in healthcare, such as reducing adverse drug contraindications, transience and indisposition charges, and, importantly, heightening the suppository dosage.

Interviews are essential instruments to use in evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. They are especially appropriate to measure the patient’s level of health literacy.

They should be designed with questions that interrogate their level of knowledge they have about their health, the self-care methods they know, and whether they practice them.

Questionnaires can also help in measuring the effectiveness of the proposed method
