I need a response to this assignment zero plagiarism 2 references how today’s pandemic and changes in the delivery of mental health care is impacting many individuals. While we are seeing the positive outcomes of telehealth in various mental health diagnoses, like depression and anxiety, it made me take a step back to think about how this may not be working for individuals with other mental health illnesses like schizophrenia and psychosis. When thinking back to my first job working in outpatient adult mental health, I worked with a few clients who had paranoid schizophrenia and there would be no way that they would engage in a telehealth mode of mental health services as they believed the police were monitoring them through phones/computers/televisions. Research that has been conducted looking at the effects of telehealth medicine in schizophrenia patients have found that specific apps on smartphones are helpful in this population for reminders to take medications daily, but are not particularly beneficial with the negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia (Krzystanek, Krzeszowski, Jagoda, & Krysta, 2015). Your client appears to be responding well to medication as evidenced by a decreased in positive symptoms however, it appears that what needs to be closely addressed are his negative symptoms, including a lack of motivation for areas in his life. Like you had mentioned, due to a non-compliance to engage in therapy, unfortunately, the liklihood that he will return back to your facility within the next couple of months is high which only perpetuates the cycle.      While your facility may limited in the types of resources and support networks that are available, I think that a closer look needs to be made on how to specifically address the low motivation. What type of activities or things are meaningful to this patient? While the psychoanalytic approach is the therapeutic modality that is utilized, I think that perhaps looking beyond this from a psychosocial and holistic perspective may be beneficial. For example, research studies are starting to see a correlation between negative symptom improvement with a look at the patient’s diet by incorporating more Vitamin D and folic acid supplements (Ganguly, Soliman, & Moustafa, 2018). At the end of the day, the main topic that truly needs to be addressed in this client is his quality of life – specifically, what can be done to improve his quality of life to lead a life worth living so he is not simply going back to sleep after taking his medications. Another option, though may be difficult to get the client to engage in, is to recommend yoga therapy. In individuals with schizophrenia, yoga therapy has been proven to be highly beneficial in the reduction of both positive and negative symptoms as oxytocin is produced contributing to an increased feeling of well-being (Ganguly et al., 2018).                                                                                                  References Ganguly, P., Soliman, A., & Moustafa, A.

Respond to the post bellow (positive comment), using one or more of the following approaches: Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, and evidence. Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives. Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own review of the literature in the Walden Library. Validate an idea with your own experience and additional sources. Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple postings. Expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives based on readings and evidence.                                                           Main post In order to improve patient outcomes and ensure appropriate decision making, it is essential that evidence-based practice (EBP) be incorporated into patient clinical experiences (Polit & Beck, 2017). EBP should be a priority in this current day and age of healthcare. Patient healthcare decisions should be designed according to the most up to date available clinical evidence. This clinical evidence should be focused on safe and efficient patient care. In many facilities, my own included, EBP is encouraged to be incorporated into daily clinical practice. Unfortunately, the practical process and resources that are necessary for achieving EBP are frequently not available or successful (Aitken et al., 2011). In order to improve and increase EBP utilization in healthcare, nurse-led EBP programs have been put in place. My current institution is currently trialing a nurse-led EBP in the ICU. This program consists of 3 nurses that complete daily rounds in the ICU to evaluate the efficacy of specific protocols or products such as oral care on ventilated patients being completed every 2 hours.  According to Cullen & Adams (2012), nurse-led research is increasingly recognized as an essential pathway to effective and practical was of improving patient outcomes. The dissemination of EBP should be a top priority. Effective dissemination strategies provide a pathway for knowledge to be shared and inspire further innovations. In order to disseminate EBP findings, my institution uses its website to post the most current and up to date clinical findings. The healthcare staff members are expected to review newly posted information on a weekly basis. When it comes to instituting an excellence-focused culture in healthcare, nursing research and EBP are required along with the integration of a professional practice model (Aitken et al., 2011). In order to achieve this great feat, nurses and all healthcare staff alike need to be encouraged to participate in scholarly activities (Aitken et al., 2011). Healthcare institutions should also have readily available resources for nurses and staff members to investigate the most current EBP methods.     Aitken, L.

I need 1 page paper, this is instruction: Overview This week’s assignment is also related to the ANA Code of Ethics – Provision 9. You might want to review provision 9 again. Advocating for the profession is important. Writing a letter is one of the ways a nurse can positively promote nursing and its causes. The purpose of this assignment is to write a professional letter to address the image of nursing or to promote a cause for nursing. This assignment is worth 20 points. Learning Objectives · Distinguish the professional responsibilities that accompany the nursing profession. · Define pressing issues that may arise as a nurse. Directions Read the letter writing handout. Then construct a professional letter using one of the two options below. Your letter will consist of proper address, correct salutation/greeting, body of the letter, proper closing, and contact information. Option A: Write a letter on a current economic or political topic related directly to nursing. Address your letter to the appropriate person – You need to write to a person who is in a position to do something about the problem. For example, you should not write to the President to address a healthcare issue that needs to be passed in congress. You would want to address the correct Senator or representative from your state who will be voting on the issue. This is a professional letter, so letter form, grammar and punctuation is graded, too. This could be to a congressman or woman or to other legislators, to big business or corporations. Remember, there must be a close nursing link to write this letter. You might want to look at a professional organization website in order to look for options. Option B: Write a letter to defend the image of nursing. Most often nursing is portrayed as less than professional in popular media, TV, advertising, greeting cards, etc.  Choose an example and write a professional letter to the appropriate person to tell them why you think they have portrayed nursing unprofessionally. Tell them how this affects the image of nursing and provide suggestions to change the situation. Look at popular TV shows, e-greetings, traditional cards advertising etc. to find an example. You can even “Google” to find some ideas. Edit question’s body WritingaProfessionalLetter.docx

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge. Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge. In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation. To Prepare: Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources. Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.    PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS INDICATED BELOW: 1). ZERO (0) PLAGIARISM 2). 5 REFERENCES, NO MORE THAN 5 YEARS 3).
