Nursing

Nursing administrators have a responsibility to remain current with knowledge of emerging trends in healthcare and their potential impact on nursing practice, safe and quality patient care, and the costs, risks, and/or benefits to the organization. How these trends or issues translate into practice is often determined by legal and regulatory actions as well as nursing standards of practice.

The focus of the quarterly regional meeting of your state nurses’ association is on current issues/trends affecting nursing practice. The meeting will be divided into three group forums, each focused on a different trend/issue. You have been asked to provide a short paper on one of the current trends/issues occurring in healthcare delivery that will be the focus of one of the group forums.

Legal/Regulatory Issue Assignment

Guidelines with Scoring Rubric

Purpose

Nursing administrators are often called upon to provide descriptive, factual, and unbiased information on a current nursing topic of interest as a foundation for group discussions. This sometimes happens as part of strategic planning. The purpose of this assignment is two-fold. The first purpose is to investigate a current issue and/or trend in nursing and its relationship to current or pending legislation, regulatory standards, nursing standards of practice, and the impact of the trend on organization and patient care quality and safety. The second purpose is to provide an opportunity to engage in a specific form of scholarly inquiry, expository writing. (CO2, CO3, CO4, CO5)

Preparing the paper

Nursing administrators have a responsibility to remain current with knowledge of emerging trends in healthcare and their potential impact on nursing practice, safe and quality patient care, and on the costs, risks and/or benefits to the organization. How these trends or issues translate into practice is often determined by legal and regulatory actions as well nursing standards of practice.

The focus of the quarterly regional meeting of your state nurses’ association is on current issues/trends affecting nursing practice. The meeting will be divided into three group forums, each focused on a different trend/issue. You have been asked to provide a short paper on one of the current trends/issues occurring in healthcare delivery that will be the focus of one of the group forums.

Trends and Issues in Current Nursing Practice

1. Telehealth/Telemedicine

2. Mandatory Overtime

3. Patient Violence to Nursing

For this assignment, you will select one of the three topics above about which you will develop an expository type of essay to be shared among the members of the group forum. ( An expository essay is one that presents factual, unbiased information on a subject.) Each section provides calls for specific and factual information about the topic with one section at the end for your opinion and rationale based on your findings from your exploration. Therefore, following the provided outline/format provided is key to a successfully written paper.

Follow the guidelines for use of bold-type and headings using the most current edition of the APA manual.
