@Its_kelskels Do you think Healthcare Providers should have to take a course on medical bankruptcy? And do you think they would be more cautious when ordering tests/labs?
#NUR4108BR#W11 The False Claims act serves as a protection to the Federal government from people or companies who attempt to defraud the government. The act allows the government to hold individuals accountable if they file a false claim and recover damages.
The Fall Prevention policy utilizes technology to improve patient safety. They use electronic bed alarms to alert nurses if a fall risk patient is trying to leave their bed.They also use fall risk calculators that assign fall scores to every patient in their EHR. #NUR4108BR#W10
#NUR4108BR#W9 The Nurse Overtime and Patient Safety Act is a priority for the ANA in 2023. One way to bring attention to this issue is by reaching out to law makers on the healthcare advisory committees advocating for limiting mandatory overtime in healthcare.
I can advocate for the Healthcare Access and Quality SDoH. As an RN, I can make my patients and family aware of preventive health screenings and immunizations available to them. Preventative care is needed for greater longevity and improved health outcomes. #NUR4108BR#W8
As a manager, outcome data I would look for post-change are increased staff morale, as well as shorter discharge and admission times. All of these changes would help to make the unit more efficient. #NUR4108BR#W7
#NUR4108BR#W6 The stakeholders for the fall prevention policy are the Registered Nurses, PCAs, as well as patients and their families. Some other policy stakeholders holders are nursing leadership and hospital administrators.
HB607 was passed to allow RNs delegation of medication administration to HHAs & CNAs. #HB111 & #SB424 both aim to expand the autonomy of ARNPs. The evidence suggests ARNPs can improve continuity of care and reduce healthcare costs. #NUR4108BR#W5
The I CAN act was introduced on 9/13/2022 by Rep. Roybal-Allard of California. On 9/14/2022 it was referred to the subcommittee on Health. #NUR4108BR#W4
Q6. The SDoH are a challenge to healthcare delivery systems. Specifically, assess to care and healthy literacy are some of the biggest challenges to. Low SES is also be a challenge to healthcare delivery. #NUR4108BR#W3
#NUR4108BR#W2 Jami Jones MHA, PhD on the AUPHA editorial board was selected for and outstanding author contribution award in 2016 in the book series Advances in Healthcare Management.
A federal nursing policy that interests me is the I CAN act. This policy focuses on expanding what an ARNP can do within Medicare & Medicaid programs. This policy will increase access to care & remove barriers to healthcare providers. #NUR4108BR#W1
My topic was states limiting full practice authority for NPs. Patient centered care is effected by this issue because patients needs are not met fully due to licensure restrictions within a state. I will be an agent of change by advocating for FPA as an RN.

I will advocate for the nursing by joining a professional nursing association which will help foster collaboration and new policies. I will advocate for myself by obtaining adequate pay and compensation by negotiating a salary that reflects my skill level. #NUR3106#M4W10
In my future nursing career, I will be a leader through encouraging peers to continue to learn. I will show accountability by maintaining a high level of care. I will demonstrate responsibility by completing all of my appropriate duties and tasks. #NUR3106#M4W9
Distractors are pt. weight, immunization hx and frequency of output at home. The correct choice is LOC because it is the priority assessment for this pt. since they are 4 months old and dehydrated. Not assessing LOC poses the greatest risk to the pt. #NUR3106#M3W8
Scanners are used to verify medications/patient identity. A possible miscommunication can occur when the scanner does not connect to a patients EHR and the nurses actions are not uploaded to their EHR. This can be prevented by selecting a working scanner. #NUR3106#M3W7
A challenge that may stand in the way of effective communication within the healthcare team is noise due to environmental factors. In order to address this barrier, it is imperative that the staff delivers their message to the receiver without distortion or noise. #NUR3106#M3W6
I chose to follow @TheKatieduke. She is an acute care nurse practitioner with a podcast called βBad Decisionsβ. Duke strives to empower healthcare providers to pursue their passions and to create careers that foster a better work life balance. #NUR3106#M2W5
