Throughout the semester, we have examined some of the different ways we are each individually — and even collectively — linked to issues of consumption.   Important notes: This assignment page is duplicated at the beginning of the module and the end so that you can see the module’s goal before starting. The draft and peer review are due Monday and Wednesday of week 8 to ensure sufficient time for revision before the final draft is due on the ePortfolio. Objectives For this final writing assignment you will be asked to revisit your own individual consumption practices in a Consumer’s Memoir.  Examine your consumption of a thing, a medium, a food, or anything that you have a choice to consume or not. Choose how  “confessional” or not you want to be in your writing. Use vivid details and descriptions to tell the story of your item. Topic Selection The topic should meet these criteria: You have a history of consumption, collection, use or ownership of the item. You feel strongly about it–positively or negatively. You can explore your place in the stream of consumption or your relationship to it. You can explore and discuss your consumption of the item. There is a social aspect to your consumption, collection, use or ownership of the item. On Your Own Try one or more of these freewriting prompts to get you thinking: What are the elements of this item? Is it a single thing or a set? What are the “indications for use?” In other words, how does it fit into your life? Is there anything about it you would need to explain to someone that doesn’t use it? What are the sights, tastes, smells, and sounds that engaging with people about/through/in this item evokes for you? Are there social circles or family relationships built around or nurtured by consuming this? What are they? What does having this add to your relationships? What does the item mean to you? What are the memories it inspires? In other words, what is the context – the bigger picture – behind consuming it? Have you ever tried to change your habits around consuming this? Are there any regrets you have about how you consume it? Is there anything to be responsible for? Are you explaining anything away? Is there any way to be more conscientious about your consumption? Format 2-3 pages in length (550-850 words) double-spaced follow either MLA or APA style guidelines If you use any outside sources, be sure to include both in-text citations within the essay and also a complete citation reference at the end of the document.

     Computer technology has enabled the transition of paper health records to an electronic format. It has led to the specialty area of nursing informatics. The field of nursing informatics brings nurses into the planning, implementation and integration of the information system advancements (Ozbolt, & Saba, 2008). Historically, documentation by nurses relates to data that shows compliance with medical orders or other mandated reporting requirements (Thede, 2008). This is data that does not include independent decisions about nursing problems or about the thinking process nurses go through to make their daily decisions (Lundberg, et al.[TA1] ). Putting all nursing information into a computerized form enables nurses to reveal the significant contributions of nursing practice to healthcare outcomes and patient safety. This paper will discuss the electronic health record (EHR) as it relates to nursing, explore the value of nursing documentation, and project how the field of nursing informatics can positively impact nursing education and practice.[TA2]  Outline The Value of Nursing Documentation Brief historical information regarding nursing documentation Explore how nursing documentation is currently valued and the role it plays Nursing and the Electronic Health Record Define the EHR within the scope of nursing Examine the EHR’s limitations and current struggles Explore the EHR’s abilities as related to capturing nursing care Impact of Nursing Informatics on Education and Practice ·       Explore how nursing documentation will evolve electronically ·       Examine how nursing documentation can change the visibility of nursing care and how nursing care can be tracked ·       Describe how nursing documentation in a standard language will be easier to show nurses impact on outcomes ·       Explain use of EHR and other information sources to support nursing decision-making ·       Describe the education and competencies necessary for effective use of EHR and other informatics sources in the profession     References Bakken, S.
