Week 9: Capstone Synthesis Practicum

 

Practicum Project Presentations

 

As agents of social change, nurse executives have a vantage point that allows them to focus both internally and externally. Internally—in that they carefully examine their own organizations and the policies, procedures, and systems that directly impact them and those within their span of control. Externally—in that they know what other organizations are doing, read the scholarly literature, and stay up to date on best practices and technological and workforce trends. Thus, nurse executives possess awareness of the wider healthcare environment along with the practical ability to apply changes within their own organizations. The Practicum Project represents how the internal and external foci come together to drive change.

 

1. This week, you disseminate your research on a small scale: by sharing your project results and conclusions with your colleagues in the Discussion. You answer their questions and consider any adjustments that need to be made. You then finalize your Practicum Project Presentation for submission as your Assignment.

 

Learning Objectives

Students will:

 

· Analyze distinctions between in-person and online presentations

· Synthesize Practicum Project elements into graduate-level presentations

NURS 6600 Practicum Project Presentation Overview

PowerPoint Presentation Notes

Your PowerPoint presentation should exhibit a professional appearance that reflects

thoughtful, thorough preparation. Consider the audience’s needs, and use your creativity

to design an engaging presentation. Your audience consists of your colleagues and

Faculty. This presentation also serves as the Portfolio Assignment for this course.

The use of PowerPoint as a presentation method allows you to create a narrative to

convey essential aspects of your Practicum Project. As you develop your presentation,

structure the information to provide a logical flow from the beginning (introduction) to the

middle to the end (conclusion).

Determine a title for each slide. As you create each slide, include the slide title at the top

to help orient the audience, and make sure the slide text is concise and easy to read.

While you may wish to include a few photos or graphics, be mindful that including too

many of these items can be distracting and may result in problems with file size and

downloading.

PowerPoint Presentation Instructions

Develop a 12- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:

 A title slide with the following:

o Your name

o Presentation title

o Submission date

 A slide showing presentation objectives

 A summary of the Practicum Project topic, goal, objectives, and rationale

 A summary of the Practicum Project methodology

 A summary of the Practicum Project findings

 Conclusions and recommendations that incorporate an evaluation of the Practicum

Project findings in terms of utility and potential for impact within the nurse

executive specialization and your practicum organization’s environment

 Examples of scholarly product(s) developed for the Practicum Project, if applicable

(you may use screenshots or scans to incorporate these items into your

presentation)

 A summary slide that properly synthesizes and concludes the presentation

 A list of references (including a minimum of five scholarly resources), properly

formatted using APA Style

In addition, you must do the following:

Design your slides appropriately. Presentation design and aesthetics should complement

the work being presented and aim to engage the audience. The evaluation of your

presentation will address not just the appropriateness and inclusion of all required content but also the extent to which the slides are neat, organized, and visually appealing.

Write detailed speaker notes for each slide (except the title and reference slides) to

complement the slide content. Speaker notes should be clear, in-depth, and function as

augmentation of the slide material.

 

 

Discussion Part

 

 

Practicum Project Presentation Review and Feedback

 

The development and completion of your Practicum Project is a significant milestone in your MSN program of study. It is now time to share the results of your effort. As you know, there are many traditional formats you can use to share your results, such as presenting at a professional conference or publishing an article in a journal. As a leader with graduate-level knowledge, you may also have the opportunity to present your results virtually. Webinars and virtual workshops are additional methods professionals can use to share knowledge and evidence-based findings.

Main Discussion

Psychiatric  emergencies are severe behavioral changes that may  result from  worsening mental illness. Psychiatric emergency is any  disturbance in  thoughts, feelings, or actions that require immediate  therapeutic  intervention (Stahl, S. M., 2014). The providers approach,  attitudes and  work environment may escalate the situation and interfere  with the  quality of care. Certain therapeutic measures can reduce the  intensity  of the situation and provide a more dignified way for  patients to  recover from the crisis. It is thus important that the  PMHNP understand  how to assess patient’s emergency status and address  their unique needs  while maintaining safety.

  Case selected.

Patient  is a 25-year-old AA male who presents to the emergency  department with  psychotic behavior in believing he should kill his  mother which led to  his attempt to stab his mother. Patient is admitted  for inpatient  psychiatric stabilization. Patient has a history of  schizoaffective  disorder and major depression that was managed with use  of clozapine  150mg twice a day and Zoloft 100mg daily. Family reported  that patient  has a history of medication non-compliant and had been on  different  psychiatric medications in the past but were not working for  him.  Additional reports by his parents shows that patient had missed  several  doses of his medication, decompensated and they had notices  some changes   recently including increase agitation, delusional  believes that he is  the savior in the family and God had directed him  to cast the demon in  his mother. Reports also that he had drawn a  picture of himself with  knives cutting a woman he portrayed as a demon  with blood flowing with a  man standing to the side, laughing. Patient  currently stated that he  participates in a meeting with angels from  which he gets directives on  how to attack his mother which led to his  attempt to stab his mother.  Because of this, patient was considered  dangerous to his mother per  admitting physician. Patients symptoms  include psychosis, extreme  agitation, paranoia, verbal outburst,  combative and very difficult to  redirect. Patient has no known drug  allergies per parents.  Verbal  restraint was used including letting  patient know what will happen if  he does not comply, respecting his  autonomy, empathetic listening,  decrease environmental stimulation,  reassure patient that they will be  safe, and maintain a safe  environment. The patient was given emergency  medications including  haloperidol lactate 5mg, lorazepam 2mg, and  diphenhydramine 50mg all IM  for severe agitation and danger to others.  To prevent  re-hospitalization within 12-24 hours of discharge, the  physician  ordered outpatient therapy and continued use of clozapine and  Zoloft  along with necessary lab work.

 How I would treat the client differently if he or she were a child or adolescent

Children and adolescent are usually brought for treatment when  their  behavior or thoughts come to the attention of parents, teachers,   social workers, or school.  For pediatric patients in a mental health   crisis, the typical chaotic nature of the situation may easily further   exacerbate an already traumatized state of the patient. Just like in   adults, as a PMHNP I would perform an evaluation to determine the type   of emergency and contributing factors in child and adolescent emergency   by assessing not just the child but also the entire family.   Additionally, safety and protection are essential mandate in  psychiatric  emergency evaluation especially when the patient pose  imminent threat  to self or others. What I will do different when  interviewing children  especially younger children is to assess the  underlying cause of the  violent behavior and delusional symptoms within  a developmental context. Specifically,  I would clarify that “bizarre  thinking ” or accounts of seeing or  hearing things that others do not  see or hear are different from  developmentally appropriate fantasy or  difficulty while distinguishing  inner voices from distressing  hallucinations. On like in adults where  they can provide information  during the interview, when it comes to  younger children, I would need  to obtain information from parents or  guardian. For adolescents,  I  would obtain information from the patient first then talk to their   parent or guardian if the adolescent is able to tell most of their own   story. This may also help to give a sense of autonomy and control to  the  adolescent which promote cooperation with the interview process.    However, information from family is very crucial particularly for a   child who is psychotic, frightened, unable, or unwilling to corporate   with the provider to help understand how the situation occurred and the   severity of the behavior.

Same  interviewing strategies used in adult may be used including  speaking in  a soft voice respecting patients’ autonomy, assuring  safety, validating  feelings, offering distractions (like video games)  especially with very  young children, and clear limit-setting can be  helpful. However,  children should be evaluated in a carefully planned  setting with doors  closed for limiting access, and be sure appropriate  backup is available  (Margret, C. P., & Hilt, R., 2018).

In  violent situations children may require a different approach in   deescalating the situation than adults. Safety is the essential mandate   in an aggression evaluation, with the interviewer specifically looking   for imminent threats, plans, targeted people, and access to means of   harm (Margret, C. P., & Hilt, R., 2018). Because adults are much   stronger, they may require physical restrain specially to administer   medication to calm the patient. Verbal restrain such as providing  verbal  directions in a nonthreatening manner, setting limits, and  assuring the  child that treatment may help them calm may be used for  children first.  However, if the child is dangerously out of control and  aggressive,  they may need medication to keep them calm and safe.

Legal or ethical issues I would consider when working with a child or adolescent emergency case

The  ethical issue I will consider when working with children and  adolescent  is respect for their autonomy, privacy, and confidentiality.  For very  young children parents must consent to treatment and the  health care  provider treating the child should make every reasonable  effort to  obtain and document informed consent. (American Academy of  Pediatrics,  2015). Just like adults, maintaining a patient’s  confidentiality is an  important ethical consideration when providing  care to children and  adolescents. However, when  a PMHNP is concerned  that the patient may be at imminent risk for harm  to self or others,  confidentiality requirements no longer apply (Chun,  T. H., Katz, E. R.,  & Duffy, S. J., 2013). This means that the PMHNP  in this situation  may disclose information collected  from patient to  caregivers or  others as needed and may obtain information from others  such as  friends, family members, school personnel, employers and other  without  obtaining consent from the patient or guardians (Chun, T. H.,  Katz, E.  R., & Duffy, S. J., 2013. Patient  autonomy is a major principle in  making decisions about an individual’s  health, and as a PMHNP we are  obligated to respect this right and allow  patients to practice their  autonomy in the course of their treatment  (Parsapoor, A., Parsapoor, M.  B., Rezaei, N., & Asghari, F., 2014).  However, a psychiatric  emergency and age may limit a child’s ability to  make such decisions.  Regardless, it is always important to involve the  child in informed  decision making even if the consent is signed by the  parents or  guardian.

COLLAPSE

The article I have chosen is

Mohn, C., & Rund, B. R. (2016). Significantly improved neurocognitive function in major depressive disorders 6 weeks after ECT. Journal of Affective Disorders, 202, 10-15.

I have always been interested in Electroconvulsive therapy since I find it fascinating and related to my practice area. The treatment is majorly utilized for severe major depression that has not responded to other forms of treatment. I used the Walden University database to find the most relevant article related to this issue. I did not have any difficulties accessing the article though I found many articles relating to the topic, and I had to narrow down to the most appropriate one. I found an article that had information on ‘significantly improved neurocognitive function in major depressive disorders in 6 weeks after ECT’. The information enlightened me on what Electroconvulsive therapy is all about and expected after the treatment is done. I found information on the side effects of Electrovulsive therapy and who are eligible to undertake the treatment. I discovered that some patients suffer from reduced cognitive function, mainly on the speed of processing, reduced cognitive function, and episodic memory, usually the very first week of the therapy. I recommend the database to any user who might have anything to research on but has problems getting articles with credible, adequate, and reliable information. I also recommend the database because the articles found there are reasonable and trustworthy. There are many articles regarding a specific topic; therefore, one has a range of articles to choose from. Generally, the Walden university database is a great place to find the best articles related to a particular topic to acquire more information.

Discussion Post 2

 

Fatigue Amongst Emergency Department Nurses

I chose an article about fatigue amongst nurses working in the emergency department as I feel this article would be most relatable. I have only been as registered nurse for three years, but I am able to understand how easily it is to become overwhelmed and burned out. This article assesses the relationship between demographic factors, physical health, psychological distress and job-related psychosocial factors (psychological job demands, job control and social support) and prolonged fatigue among emergency department nurses (Al-Abdallah & Malak, 2019).

From the student portal, I was able to access the academic resources and then library under the dropdown menu. On the library homepage there were several search options such as by publications or databases. Selecting the databases option brought me to a list of different choices including CINAHL Plus with full text. Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature: a large collection of journals and e-books on many nursing and allied health topics (n.d-a). Clicking this link then brought me to a search bar where I then typed in a general topic such as: “emergency department nurses and fatigue”. I was then given access to several peer-reviewed articles in which I chose the one that fit my topic of choice. Thereafter, I was able to access the full article and other relevant resources.

I had no difficulties searching for this article as the Walden University’s library has made everything easily accessible for students. I do believe the database CINAHL is most useful to my colleagues as they will continue to need peer-reviewed articles throughout their program. I recommend this database because it provides peer-reviewed articles that are relevant and within five years. Additionally, students can access the Walden University library if there is ever a question about if what you’ve found is a journal article (n.d-b).
