Patient-centered Protocol
Examine a patient centered protocol/policy at the facility where you practice that incorporates evidence-based practice and possibly a theoretical framework (theory of nursing). This is an assignment that is contained within a template format( see red template attachment above). NOTE: A policy/protocol generally outlines the care that will be provided to patients in a designated area of practice. Theories do not describe how a procedure is performed, but offer foundational knowledge to understand underlying dynamics occurring within patients and/or the setting Answer these within the template in the designated columns of the assignment. A. Does this sample policy incorporate a theoretical framework (nursing theory)? B If so, which one? Is it appropriated applied? Could it be improved? 100 words minimum.These two questions are clearly answered: Why is this a good choice of theory? How does the theory apply to this policy? C. If not, what ONE nursing theory could be incorporated and why? 100 words minimum. These two questions are clearly answered: Why is this a good choice of theory? How does the theory apply to this policy? D. How would you re-write this policy/protocol using ONE nursing theory (either the same one only with stronger influence (if one is present), or a different one, if one is present) or the one suggested in part C if not present currently? Focus on incorporating 3 specific theory concepts/terms/phrases into the policy. Make changes directly into the policy as noted in the template. Any nursing theory concept/term/phrase added needs to be cited, briefly defined and clearly highlighted. To do this thoroughly, we are looking for 70 words minimum with rationale as to why you are adding this specific section. You will do this twice, in two different sections of the chosen policy, and as noted in the template.
