An abundance of evidence can be found on almost any medical issue or health topic.

/in /by

An abundance of evidence can be found on almost any medical issue or health topic. Often, the availability of

information is not the concern, but rather nurses struggle with how to convey the evidence to others and change practices to better reflect the evidence. Deep-rooted organizational cultures and policies can make some resistant to change, even to changes that can vastly improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of health care. However, there are many strategies that nurses can employ to bring about changes to practice.

In this Discussion, you focus on how to create an organizational culture that supports evidence-based practice.

To prepare:

  • Review the information in this week’s Learning Resources. Examine the various suggestions for promoting an organizational culture that embraces the use of EBP.
  • Reflect on your own organization’s (or one in which you have worked) support of evidence-based practice. Examine how culture and policies impact the adoption of changes to practice based on evidence. What barriers exist?
  • Consider the models and suggestions for promoting evidence-based practice featured in this week’s Learning Resources. Identify models and suggestions that would work well in your organization.
  • Reflect on the significance of evidence-based practice in health care. What responsibility do nurses have to promote EBP and change practices to better reflect evidence and research findings?
  • Reflect on how nurses can disseminate findings from evidence-based practice research.

What Can Nurses Do?

What Can Nurses Do?

Many people, most of them in tropical countries of the Third World, die

of preventable, curable diseases. . . . Malaria, tuberculosis, acute lower-respiratory infections—in 1998, these claimed 6.1 million lives. People died because the drugs to treat those illnesses are nonexistent or are no longer effective. They died because it doesn’t pay to keep them alive.

–Ken Silverstein, Millions for Viagra. Pennies for Diseases of the Poor, The Nation, July 19, 1999

Unfortunately, since 1998, little has changed. For many individuals living in impoverished underdeveloped countries, even basic medical care is difficult to obtain. Although international agencies sponsor outreach programs and corporations, and although nonprofit organizations donate goods and services, the level of health care remains far below what is necessary to meet the needs of struggling populations. Polluted water supplies, unsanitary conditions, and poor nutrition only exacerbate the poor health prevalent in these environments. Nurses working in developed nations have many opportunities/advantages that typically are not available to those in underdeveloped countries. What can nurses do to support their international colleagues and advocate for the poor and underserved of the world?

In this Discussion, you will consider the challenges of providing health care for the world’s neediest citizens, as well as how nurses can advocate for these citizens.

To prepare:

  • Consider the challenges of providing health care in underdeveloped countries.
  • Conduct research in the Walden Library and other reliable resources to determine strategies being used to address these challenges.
  • Using this week’s Learning Resources, note the factors that impact the ability of individuals in underdeveloped nations to obtain adequate health care.
  • Consider strategies nurses can use to advocate for health care at the global level. What can one nurse do to make a difference?

MEDICATION ERRORS DISCLOSURE AND ETHICS /LEGALITIES2Medication errors disclosure and ethics /legalitiesMedication errors occur when health care workers inappropriately prescribed, dispensed, oradministered drugs. Medication errors are a multifaceted problem which may arise in any healthcare setting. According to Arcangelo and Peterson (2013), many outpatient prescriptions havemistakes that can be prevented. The purpose of this paper is to explain the ethical and legalimplications of medication errors disclosure and nondisclosure; specific state laws and differentstrategies used to minimize medication errorsEthical and Legal Implications of Disclosure / NondisclosureAs healthcare providers, we are obligated to protect our patients from harm and not reportinga medication erroris illegal unethical and harmful to the patient. Sometimes clinicians are afraidto report errors for fear of losing their jobs, reputation, and licenses. However, disclosing errorscan prevent an adverse outcome for the patient. According to the code of ethics found in theAmerican Nurses Association (2015), clinicians must report all medication errors to the properauthority to ensure patients safety and quality of care. Healthcare providers must maintain anopen, honest working relationship with their patients. That may include disclosing medicationerrors. It is our duty to uphold honesty with our clients regardless of the consequence (Ehsani etal., 2013). Our patients may have confidence in us if we are honest and attempt to repair theproblem. Nondisclosure can cause great harm to a patient and can lead to complete lack of trustin the provider. Disclosure of error is not only illegal but unethical and unprofessional. When anerror occurs, patients and family need to know (Brandom, Callahan & Micalizzi,2011)Federal and State aboutDisclosure
