This is based off of order number 82647884. It is a 4 part collective assignment. This is part 2 of 4. Assess the effect of the patient, family, or population problem you defined in the previous assessment on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend at least 2 practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also consult with subject matter and industry experts of your choice. The following is the subject and situation used: “The subject of this practicum will be a family member named Michael, who has a strong genetic lineage of Type 1 Diabetes. This patient showed signs of having diabetes long before receiving an official diagnosis at age 20. This patient is currently a 33-year-old well controlled type 1 diabetic with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) as well as an Insulin Pod (Omnipod). This patient was initially misdiagnosed as having a “stomach flu” and encouraged to increase fluids using beverages such as Gatorade. When he returned to urgent care with worsening symptoms he was again misdiagnosed as having type 2 diabetes and ended up shortly thereafter in a diabetic emergency. The patient was able to avoid Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) but ended up very ill with immediate insulin coverage needed. Once he was established with an endocrinologist, he received a proper diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and placed on a Carb counting insulin ratio. ” Grading requirements: – Explain how the patient, family, or population problem impacts the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Cite evidence that supports the stated impact. Note whether the supporting evidence is consistent with what you see in your nursing practice. – Explain how state board nursing practice standards and/or organizational or governmental policies can affect the problem’s impact on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Describe research that has tested the effectiveness of these standards and/or policies in addressing care quality, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Explain how these standards and/or policies will guide your actions in addressing care quality, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Describe the effects of local, state, and federal policies or legislation on your nursing scope of practice, within the context of care quality, patient safety, and cost to the system and individual. – Propose strategies to improve the quality of care, enhance patient safety, and reduce costs to the system and individual. Discuss research on the effectiveness of these strategies in addressing care quality, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Identify relevant and available sources of benchmark data on care quality, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Core Elms Volunteer Experience Form. – Use paraphrasing and summarization to represent ideas from external sources. – Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing. – 5-7 pages in length – Cite at least 5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should be no more than five years old. Provide in-text citations and references in APA format.
