Utilize Level one subheadings (bold and centered) to begin each section and Level 2 subheadings (bold and flush left) for each item/question. Remember, an APA scholarly assignment will have an introduction first which sets up the main points of the entire paper and a self-reflective conclusion for the entire paper at the end. All needed for full credit for papers in this course 🙂
text book name (Professional Nursing Practice. Concepts and perspectives) ISBN 13-380131-6
• Part 1: Continuing Education: (This section of the assignment should be at least 1.5 pages in length and include 2 outside references AND the textbook). Continuing education units are required for renewal of RN licenses (in some states) and for recertification and it differs from state to state. For example, I have 2 RN licenses, ND and MN, ND requires 12 hours of continuing education every 2 years for renewal while MN requires 26!
o Discuss and give examples on why gaining continual knowledge is important in the nursing profession.
o Respond to a nurse that states: “I only want to live and work in a state that does not require CE credits and I never want to advance my degree?
• Part 2: Future of Nursing: (This section of the assignment should be at least 2 pages in length and include the 2 outside references AND the textbook). Review the textbook’s vision of the future of nursing in Chapter 25. Locate and review two scholarly sources that also discuss the future of nursing, and the most recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on the future of nursing https://iom.nationalacademies.org/Reports/2010/The-Future-of-Nursing-Leading-Change-Advancing-Health.aspx

Discuss ways in which nurses and nursing can preserve the human caring caritative in contemporary nursing practice to assure they remains as active parts of nursing’s role for the future.

/in /by

Read the required readings/ Articles for Discussion F, answer two of the below questions in an original substantive post (see the syllabus for guidance on what is an original substantive post).
An original substantive posting:
Is limited to 150-200 words long.
Relates to the weekly topics and readings.
Uses the scholarly readings (giving citations) for support of ideas and the discussion to critically assess some area of practice.
It is expected that postings will be written in correct grammar, be well organized and be documented using APA style. References should be cited using APA style.”

Questions
The purpose of the faculty stimulus questions are to promote critical inquiry, reflective thought, and to lay the foundation for a scholarly dialog between members of this class relative to nursing science. Please consider the following questions:
1. Lähdesmäki and Nyholm (2007) envision the healthcare needs for the future to encompass “patients [who] will be more acutely ill and infections more common and serious” (p. 332). Their predictions are in line with the current Center for Disease Control (CDC) statistics on the epidemiology of global healthcare needs. The authors also predict that although the actual healthcare may become more automated, patients will still need human care in 2050.
Discuss ways in which nurses and nursing can preserve the human caring caritative in contemporary nursing practice to assure they remains as active parts of nursing’s role for the future.
2. According to Lähdesmäki and Nyholm (2007), while change in the intensive care (ICU) environments may improve patient care, the changes may also create ethical problems. Identify several ethical issues that are common in the intensive care environments/working with patients in ICUs in contemporary practice and discuss how nurses manage those issues.
Can any of the problem-solving be generalized to the issues, projected by the authors, of isolation from loved ones or the lack of physical human contact?
3. Wikberg (2007) addressed several significant phenomena that are occurring in the social and environmental world that will impact on nursing practice in 2050. According to the author, global warming may create an influx [to certain geographical areas] of environmental refugees, increasing the cultural mix of the society. Wikberg continues by stating the need for nurses “to develop a common ethos for caring that is compatible with all cultures” (p. 334).
In addition to Eriksson’s theory, discuss other nursing theories that can be used as frameworks for nursing practice to develop both the common ethos for caring and supports cultural sensitivity. Do you agree with Wikberg’s prediction? Why or why not?
4. According to Wikberg (2007), “Human suffering on a deep level, such as suffering related to life, cannot be assessed by a machine, no matter how advanced. Nurses will still be the ones to observe human suffering and assess human needs. Nurse robots will never replace human interaction” (p. 334).
Discuss ways in which nurses can position themselves to remain [as the focus] of the human interaction, to never be replaced by a nurse robot.
5. Wikberg, (2007), identified the incidence of depression as a significant contemporary healthcare concern. Depression is on the rise and is expected to continue to increase. People suffering with depression will have an impact on global healthcare in 2050.
Discuss ways nursing can provide theoretical frameworks in our contemporary times to support future nursing practice. What will be nursing’s role (s)?
6. What elements combine to describe the US healthcare system as the best in the world? How does nursing play a part in the present health care environment.

Develop a test plan for an information system applicable to your setting. (As a Nurse Case Manager I would like a software for integrated care management solution, transforms traditional episodic-based care management into proactive and collaborative population healthcare management through electronic health record (EHR)-enabled care plans, point of care tools, decision support, and user-configurable workflows for care management).Develop a comprehensive test plan that considers scope, schedule, acceptable deliverables, resources (human, hardware, software,
network and/or other equipment, space, budget), risks, and contingencies. Project-management software may be used to show tasks or a work breakdown schedule, dependent tasks, and timelines; although, this information may be addressed solely within the text.
PREPARING THE PAPER
1. An introduction that presents the topic and describes how the paper is organized.
2. Paper is comprehensive to include scope, schedule, acceptable deliverable, resources (human, hardware, software, network and/or other equipment, space, budget), risks, and contingencies.

How might it change how you think about nursing practice?

/in /by

Philosophy is derived from a Greek word meaning love of wisdom. But, it is more accurately defined as inquiry or reflection. Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as a discipline. The question is the examination of facts or principles. So, philosophical inquiry is the logical testing of assumed valid rules about knowledge, reality and existence.

What is the reading about? What argument do the authors make?

The article explains the philosophy and the development of philosophical methods, considering the philosophical inquiry as a critical method for the nursing profession. It articulates the philosophical question to the goals of nursing, using the proposed taxonomy with the purpose to guide nursing curricula and research development.

Thus, philosophical inquiry is significant for nursing education, practice, and knowledge development. The article is concluded with the possible reasons for the underutilization of philosophical research in nursing and arguments for efforts to strengthen its application.

In what ways do you agree/disagree with the argument made in the article and why?

The authors’ idea that the philosophical inquiry is a habit which should be cultivated by the nurses is appealing to me. It facilitates the contextualising of nursing problems within the political, societal, and cultural aspects of practice.

I concur with the authors’ view that the philosophical method of inquiry challenges the nurses not to accept the status quo without question considering directed mindfulness as a critical stance of the technique. I am of the same mind that the function of philosophy is to foster intellectual independence. Thus, provoking the questions like why they exist, what is their function (ontology), what constitutes their knowledge (epistemology), and what are disciplinary responsibilities (moral philosophy/ethics).

The article annotates the three levels of proposed taxonomy focusing on (I) adopting the philosophical attitude of critical consciousness that includes the ability and willingness to challenges taken-for-granted assumptions in all nursing situations and actions, (II) development of analytic skills and application of pertinent philosophical perspectives to nursing problems, and (III) generation of new nursing knowledge, new theories of practice and research.

How does the content of this reading inform practice?

The philosophical inquiry is an integral component of nursing practice and knowledge development. It helps in the identification and analysis of emerging problems and addresses the unmet human needs by synthesising the new understandings as per the requirement and possibility. Thus, focusing on the primary goals of nursing including the promotion of health, prevention of illness, restoration of health and alleviation of sufferings.

How might it change how you think about nursing practice?

Knowledge development is an ongoing imperative for the nursing profession. Firstly, the nurses should consider the available knowledge in their quest to achieve nursing goals, subjecting to analysis and critique new knowledge of various kinds.

The organisations should encourage the nurses to ground their practice in research-based knowledge. The management should develop a particular attitude, training, and mentoring of health care professionals in this regard. The undergraduate nursing programs can include courses on philosophy as part of their curriculum that will enable the development of critical thinking skills among the nurses. Secondly, the proposed taxonomy can provide a framework for curriculum development across levels.

Secondly, the nursing researchers and scholars should pursue philosophical inquiry as a means of understanding and the ways to achieve disciplinary goals. Thirdly, the nurses can be trained on the rational methods that would permit the development of an ability to question the status quo, critical evaluation of problems, and the envision of innovative solutions.

Moreover, the nursing scholars can develop the explanatory theoretical frameworks of practice that could provide insights about professional goals, effective methods for achieving these goals and revising them in light of social and human needs, responses, and environmental challenges. Furthermore, the hospital-based nurse ethicist can teach ethical frameworks of analysis to staff, advanced practice nurses, and other clinicians.

In this manner, philosophical questions generated by a bedside nurse at the level established philosophical/ethical frameworks can inform me at level II.

Conclusion

Thus, philosophical inquiry is a moral obligation of the profession that nurtures as an attitude to be cultivated by nurses. All nursing actions, therefore, practice, theorising, education, research, and policy-making should be aimed at realising nursing goals and removing socio-political obstructions to that goal.
