Assignment: Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.

· Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).

· Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

· Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.

· Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.

· Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.

Disorders of the Reproductive Systems

The reproductive system is essential to the continuation of the human race. Proper functioning is necessary for optimal physical and psychosocial well being. This post will explore two reproductive disorders, including similarities and differences and the impact of behavior on the conditions. Phimosis is a disorder of the male reproductive system that prevents retraction of the foreskin over the glans penis. It is a non-issue in males under the age of three, as the glans and foreskin are one under normal physiological conditions (Huether & McCance, 2017). After age three, the foreskin begins to separate from the glans penis naturally. Phimosis can happen at any age in uncircumcised males. It often occurs as a result of chronic infection, but treatment is unnecessary unless balanitis or posthitis occur. Common symptoms include tenderness, edema, erythema, or purulent discharge. If the condition is pathological, treatment includes circumcision or a preputioplasty which widens the hole for the glans to pass through properly preserving the foreskin (McPhee & McKay, 2019).Paraphimosis is a disorder of the male reproductive system where the foreskin becomes trapped behind the corona of the glans. This condition is considered a urologic emergency and requires rapid treatment. If left untreated, the glans becomes strangulated, leading to vascular compromise, edema, and necrosis (Bragg & Leslie, 2019). Paraphimosis often occurs when retracting the foreskin for cleaning, physical examination, or placement of a catheter. Common symptoms include erythema, swelling, and pain. Treatment for uncomplicated paraphimosis includes manual reduction using a small amount of lubricant and moderate pressure to advanced the foreskin back over the glans. Complicated paraphimosis requires analgesia and surgical incision to correct.

Similarities and Differences

One similarity between the two disorders is the involvement of the foreskin. In one condition, the foreskin does not retract, and in the other, it does not return to cover the glans penis. One difference is that paraphimosis is most common in adolescents, while phimosis can happen at any age. Also, paraphimosis can occur in circumcised males too if there is enough skin present after a circumcision.

Behavior

Cleanliness is essential in the prevention of phimosis. Regular hygiene prevents many cases of this condition. Self-inflicted injuries are a significant cause for paraphimosis. However, merely retracting the foreskin can trigger the problem
