Chronic Stable Angina

E.H. is a 45-year-old African American man who recently moved to the community from another state. He requests renewal of a prescription for a calcium channel blocker, prescribed by a physician in the former state. He is unemployed and lives with a woman, their son, and the woman’s 2 children. His past medical history is remarkable for asthma and six “heart attacks” that he claims occurred because of a 25-year history of drug use (primarily cocaine). He states that he used drugs as recently as 2 weeks ago. He does not have any prior medical records with him. He claims that he has been having occasional periods of chest pain. He is unable to report the duration or pattern of the pain. Before proceeding, explore the following questions: What further information would you need to diagnose angina (substantiate your answer)? What is the connection between cocaine use and angina? Identify at least three tests that you would order to diagnose angina.

Diagnosis: Angina

1. List specific goals of treatment for E.H.

2. What dietary and lifestyle changes should be recommended for this patient?

3. What drug therapy would you prescribe for E.H. and why?

4. How would you monitor for success in E.H.?

5. Describe one or two drug–drug or drug–food interactions for the selected agent.

6. List one or two adverse reactions for the selected agent that would cause you to change therapy.

4.2 Communicate therapeutically with patients.

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.

Evidence-Based Practice is critical to make decisions about how to promote health or provide care (Laureate Education Producer, 2018). Since 2010 this has been the gold standard of nursing and healthcare. The purpose of using EBP is that it has been shown that it leads to the highest quality of care and the best patient outcomes (Melnyk & Overholt,2018, p. 12). Modern medicine has shifted to relying on data, analytics, and reproducible test that lead to collaborated results.

For my website, I have decided to review the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) website. This website provides an opportunity for utilizing research, continuing education, and access to publications. While browsing the website, you can find that the vision of the APNA is to use EBP in recovery-focused assessments, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluations of persons with mental illness and substance use disorders (APNA.org, 2020). According to the website, sixty percent of their members are advanced practicing nurses. This shows that EBP is a major part of their organization.

The APNA also distributes the Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (JAPNA). This journal promotes state of the art information and is backed by EBP (APNA.org, 2020).  On top of an online database, a journal, and an electronic newsletter, the APNA also holds conferences twice a year. These are both focused on expanding the role of the mental health nurse through EBP.

After reviewing the website and sifting through the information, I have not changed my mind of this organization. The APNA states and continues to prove that EBP is at the forefront of its mission. This is proven by a journal that focuses on EBP techniques, and conferences that spread new information that has been proven by EBP. The APNA is grounded in evidence-based practice. I look forward to getting to know this organization better as I progress with my education.
