Nursing makes use of theories from other disciplines (a.k.a., borrowed theories). How does using borrowed theory support the development of nursing theory?

 

Class,

We are all aware of the fact that basic nursing courses only mention nursing theories in broad and general terms and there is little focus on their application to practice. This is changing as nursing educators increase the levels of thinking and knowledge expected of a registered nurse.

The same cannot be said for borrowed theories. Borrowed theories are discussed and applied as the student nurse begins to develop the knowledge and skills for safe, effective nursing care. How do we determine the priorities of our actions? Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. What do we know about the individual coping styles that protect the personality from anxiety? Freud’s defense mechanisms. Our reading this week reflects theories that advanced nurses have borrowed from the fields of sociological sciences and learning theories.

In this thread you will respond to and discuss: Nurses make use of theories from other disciplines (a.k.a. borrowed theories). How does using borrowed theory support the development of nursing theory?

The course outcome that will be used to guide the learning process is:

• Analyze theories from nursing and relevant fields with respect to their components, relationships among the components, logic if the presentations, comprehensiveness, and utility to advanced nursing

Today we see the transition from the paper-based health record to the electronic health record. This historic transition has brought many new career opportunities for Health Information Management (HIM) professionals. Understanding the various elements that build the foundation for the electronic health record is key knowledge as we move towards electronic health information systems.

Create a report about electronic health information systems. Be sure to address the following:

Requirements

Part-1: Discuss the roles of HIM professionals in electronic health information systems

1. Identify 3 roles available to HIM professionals in electronic health information systems. List the roles and provide a brief description of each.
2. Which of the 3 roles identified above do you feel would be most valuable within the healthcare community? Explain your reasoning.

Part-2: Examine the elements of an Electronic Health Record (EHR)

3. Describe the difference between primary and secondary information sources.
4. Define data, character, field, record, file, and information. Give examples of each.
5. Examine the screenshot below of an EHR registration screen. Analyze the parts of the screen and give 3 examples from the screenshot of each of the following: data, a character, and a field. (For example: Show that the Patient Name area is a field.) You can do this as a list, a table, or graphically right on the screenshot (if you know how to do that!). You can be creative with this, and make it easier for someone new to understand the terminology.

Primary Task Response: Have you ever attended a play or musical? Do you frequently watch television programs or movies? Nowadays, drama is more popular in American culture than ever before. Yet what some forget is that it is a literary art form crafted by playwrights, TV and comedy writers, and Hollywood screenwriters. Drama shares many of the same elements as fiction and poetry; however, this literary genre is designed to be acted out on a stage or “dramatized” in front of screen audiences.

After you read the assigned essays in the textbook (and possibly the optional Seinfeld episode, “The Pitch”), please discuss the following questions in a 500 word response.

 

1. Why, in your opinion, are dramas known as “plays?”
2. Talk about a time in which you attended a play, musical or opera—at a school, church or other public venue. Describe the experience: the sights and sounds, the mood of the audience, and the impact of seeing a drama performed on a live stage.
3. Have you ever acted and/or sung in a dramatic presentation? If so, depict for your classmates what it was like to be up on a stage performing material from a script. If you have never performed dramatic material, have you ever desired to? Why or why not?
4. Describe a favorite television show or movie in terms of its main characters, setting(s), basic plot, conflicts and themes. What makes it one of your favorites?

Comparing tactical and strategic decisions.

During this simulation, you have been making tactical and strategic decisions. Keeping these in mind, address the following questions:

• What are the differences and similarities between the tactical and strategic decisions you have made?
• How often did you need to change your strategic decisions? How often did you change your tactical decisions?

Also, review the overall process by which your team worked together over the course of the simulation and answer the following questions:

• How did your decision-making process evolve over the sequence of decisions?
• Why did you make the changes that you did in the decision-making process, or why did you not change?
• Did your decision-making process result in better decisions as the simulation progressed, and why do you think it did or did not?
