"Improve RN Utilization in Primary Care
Team" is important because non-clinical tasks can be time-consuming & take away from patient needs. Reducing these administrative responsibilities can help to improve patient outcomes and increase productivity. #NUR4108 #W13

Dr. Campbell, what is your advice on how to stay up to date with current policies and best evidence-based practices? #NUR4108LC #M4W12

Technology can be involved to increase patient safety and improve outcomes, especially with the nurse-to-patient ratio policy. Technology can be used to evaluate and analyze data from newly implemented ratios to determine the effectiveness of the set ratios. #NUR4108 #M4W11

The nursing priority I chose was the nursing shortage. I can influence the advancement of this priority by contacting elected officials via email to advocate for better staffing ratios. #NUR4108 #W9

[Taylor Lam @TaylorLam20]

Behavior is a determinant of health that nurses can advocate to improve. They can do so by providing health education on the benefits of exercise, nutrition, hygiene practices, etc. This can be done on individual and organizational levels. #NUR4108 #W8

As a leader, I would implement a more efficient discharge plan. For instance, I would suggest the unit print out common handouts ahead of time and prioritize calling transport as soon as a discharge order is received. #NUR4108 #M3W7

The stakeholders for safe staffing standards are patients, healthcare providers, hospitals, researchers, nursing organizations, and accrediting agencies. They all play a role in representing nurses’ interests in improving patient outcomes through safe staffing ratios #NUR4108 #W6

#HB111 and #SB424 would expand APRNs' scope of practice by allowing them to practice autonomously. Research suggests that APRNs deliver safe care and that passing these bills would decrease healthcare costs for hospitals and increase access to health care. #NUR4108 #W5

In 1999, the California State Assembly passed AB 394, mandating that the state should require minimum patient to nurse staffing. Then, in 2004, the law went into effect. #NUR4108 #W4

The purpose of AHRQ's report is to improve patient safety by reducing medical errors. This act will positively impact patient outcomes by providing better patient care through the reduction of medical errors. By doing so, it will help in advancing nursing practice. #NUR4108 #W3

Dr. Jason Turner is the chair of the AUPHA Board of Directors. His research is centered on capital structure and investment behavior, assessment of risk, population health, community benefit regulation, and implementation of payment methodologies. #NUR4108 #W2

[Taylor Lam @TaylorLam20]

I am interested in a nurse staffing policy because unsafe nurse-to-patient ratios can lead to negative patient outcomes. I have done research on this previously, but I would like to learn more about how COVID-19 has impacted the nursing shortage. #NUR4108 #W1

The nursing shortage will directly affect patient-centered care because inadequate staffing can lead to patient's needs not being met. By being an advocate for nursing, I can advocate for safe staff ratios so that nurses have time to deliver quality care #NUR3106 #M4W11

[Taylor Lam @TaylorLam20]

I will advocate for the nursing profession by getting to know elected officials so that I can promote policies that will benefit the profession. I will also advocate for myself by ensuring that nurses have adequate pay and compensation for work. #NURS3106 #M4W10

[Taylor Lam @TaylorLam20]

In my future clinical practice, I will practice leadership by taking initiative. I will take accountability for my actions, and I will practice responsibility by coming to work prepared to provide the best care that I can for my patients. #NUR3106 #M4W9

1. A, B, and C are distractors
2. D is the correct answer
3. All answers are important, but LOC is especially important to determine the severity and the next step of treatment

The EHR is a common application that is used in healthcare settings that can pose risks for miscommunication. Improper charting and typos are some of the associated risks. To prevent these issues, review and verify documentation before submission. #NUR3106 #M3W7

[Taylor Lam @TaylorLam20]

One challenge to effective communication is the distortion of a message due to outside noise and distractions. I will overcome this challenge by communicating in quiet, private settings with minimal distractions. I will also communicate clearly and concisely. #M3W6 #NUR3106

I followed @NursesRN because I have watched a few of her YouTube videos while preparing for exams, and she does an amazing job at making nursing topics easier to understand. I love that she strives to help nursing students succeed! #M2W5 #NUR3106
