Thoughts  Functional patterns are the history of a patient that a nurse receives upon admission. Functional patterns consist of their previous health history and also what has occurred since arriving at the hospital also can be described as course since admission. This information is so beneficial because it allows a nurse to see what has been done in diagnosis of the individual currently, what needs to be done to assist them and their past medical history that can assist with the current health problem. Functional patterns help a nurse and other health care provider with trending past and current health issues that need to be fixed. One elimination complexity is pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is rare but it can be a chronic or acute condition that occurs. It is an inflammation of the pancreas that occurs, and it is important to treat so that it does not progress to other problems such as renal failure and sepsis (Whitney, 2018). If a patient was to be admitted with possible pancreatitis; it would be important to not only do a physical assessment but ask patient history and symptoms. Important assessment and history to note would be pain, fever and/or nausea and vomiting in the last few days and abdominal distension (Whitney, 2018). History to be aware of is peptic ulcers, cholelithiasis, hyperlipidemia, cystic fibrosis, drug usage and alcoholism. Being aware of these clinical signs and medical history can assist with proper diagnosis and treatment to prevent further deterioration and complications.

Phase three (3) of the research project is the implementation phase. The implementation phase will be written in the future state as we will not be implementing the actual project.  This phase focuses on providing steps by steps instructions on how the program will be implemented, a table describing the time frame of the project, if there is any budget that needs to be taking into account, and any resources or statistically tools required. The length of this paper should be no more than 5-6 pages. Please pay very close attention to your APA 6th edition formatting, grammar, in-text citations, and references.

Write a 3-4 page evidence-based health care delivery plan for one component of a heart failure clinic.    Instructions Deliverable: Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery. Scenario: The hospital where you work has an issue with increased readmissions within 30 days of discharge. After examining the core measures, it was found that heart failure was the most common core measure disease process experiencing the highest rate of readmissions. The leadership team has given your team the charge of developing a nurse-run outpatient heart failure clinic. The purpose of this clinic is to ensure that discharge education is presented to the patient in an orderly, consistent manner and complies with evidence-based practice protocols. Since these patients may be discharged from a variety of areas in the facility, having the heart failure clinic staff take ownership of the process will improve both consistency and compliance. There are cardiologists that interact with the staff and patients, but the day-to-day operations of the clinic are designed and supported by the nurses as they interact with appropriate members of the other health care team disciplines promoting the best care for the heart failure patients. As a member of the nurse team, you have been asked to develop one component of the clinic. The hospital leadership established these objectives for the clinic services: Evaluate and maximize proper medication therapy. Conduct regular diet, exercise, and stress management classes for the patients. Monitor physiological indicators for the patients (lab work, weights, vital signs, ECGs). Provide a case management system for patients in the program post-discharge. The overall goals for the heart failure clinic are to: Enroll greater than 90 percent of the patients with a primary or secondary diagnosis of HF prior to discharge. Facilitate discharge planning to achieve 100 percent compliance with patient education prior to discharge (discharge planning). Decrease readmission rates in this population by 5 percent over the next year. The leadership team has asked you to provide them with an evidence-based plan for one of the components of the clinic. You may use any combination of documents (for example, a spreadsheet or a table) in addition to explanatory information to convey information clearly and succinctly. Develop one: an Orientation Course Plan, a Discharge Education Plan, or a Care Coordination Plan. An Orientation Course Plan: Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery. Include a comprehensive schedule of topics, objectives, key points, and patient resources for the orientation course. What are the components of an evidence-based education plan? How will you know that patients will understand what to do? What modalities will you use to deliver information? How will you adapt the plan to meet the needs of patients from diverse cultural and language backgrounds? Identify specialized and supplementary material needs. Apply professional and legal standards in support of a care plan. Explain the alignment to the most recent Heart Failure Guidelines and specific professional standards. Describe the accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness. How will you know if the patient education plan is successful? What are the indicators of success or effectiveness? A Discharge Education Plan: Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery. Develop a discharge plan with objectives and resources, and tools for patients to monitor their progress. How will you know that patients understand what to do? What modalities will you use to deliver information? How will you adapt the plan to meet the needs of patients from diverse cultural and language backgrounds? Apply professional and legal standards in support of a care plan. Explain the alignment to the most recent Heart Failure Guidelines and specific professional standards. Describe accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness. How will you know if the discharge plan is successful? What are the indicators of success or effectiveness? Care Coordination Plan: Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery. Develop a procedure for coordinating services. Consider the needs of “outliers.” For example, someone with lung disease may need extra resources. Who should be on the team? When would the team be activated? How would it be activated? What is the time frame required to coordinate services? How would the intervention plan be monitored for effectiveness? Apply professional standards in support of a care plan. Explain the alignment to the most recent heart failure guidelines and specific professional standards. Describe accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness. How will you know if the care coordination plan is successful? What are the indicators of success or effectiveness? How will information be collected or communicated? Additional Requirements Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message. APA formatting: Resources and in-text citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting. Length: The report should be 3-4 pages in content length, double-spaced. Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. Number of resources: Support your plan with a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources, in addition to professional standards.

What are your thoughts?? The most interesting viewpoint I felt of the readings was the subject of Ethics. The most fascinating section of this reading for me was regarding the refusal of medical treatments. Medical treatments may be refused due to religious or personal beliefs and cultures or because the patient believes the treatment may be a burden on their life (Meilaender, 2013). The book definition of ethics is that it is an “understanding of concepts of right and wrong, principles of moral behavior and the intentions and actions of moral agents (Bogue & Hogan, 2020). Everyone has their own understanding of ethics which is why there are ethical boards in the hospital for those “ethics” cases.. Ethics is an important topic and is definitely every nurse encounters in their career. . Ethics are important and every nurse or healthcare professional hopefully is aware of what they feel is right and wrong so they are able to respectfully care for all patients in the safest and best way.
