[Solved] Highly Respected Health Care

 

James Winthrope is the President/CEO of SU Medical Center, a 175-bed acute care hospital, a subsidiary of Hospitals R Us, Inc., a highly respected health care management organization. Accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (Joint Commission or JCAHO), SU Medical has served the Holcomb community since 1979. Mr. Winthrope and his staff are committed to providing the highest level of quality care and advanced technologies to this growing community.

It has come to Mr. Winthrope’s attention that patients in the emergency room (ER) have consistently made complaints about the unsanitary conditions of the waiting room, the bathrooms, and most recently the overflowing waste bins outside the doors of the ER. After close investigation, Mr. Winthrope discovered that there were certain employees in environmental services (ES) department that regularly neglected their duties. Instead of performing their assigned tasks, they spend their time socializing on various floors and taking numerous breaks. Immediate action had to be taken to address this problem to avoid additional complaints and possible sanctions from state regulatory agencies.

Mr. Winthrope called the director of the environmental services department and requested that he provide a full review of all ES employees and the housekeeping rotation/schedule. After careful review of this information by Mr. Winthrope and the ES director, new rotation times were created for lobby and waste maintenance. A separate schedule was set up for bathroom cleaning and check-ups. Employees displaying poor performance were written up and issued a warning that the next offense would result in further action as per the facility’s disciplinary policy.

  1. Based on the different styles of leadership, which style would be most appropriate to address the issue with the ES employees? Why?
  2. How should leaders and managers address workplace issues based on specific styles of leadership?
  3. What intrinsic and extrinsic rewards could management provide to motivate and increase productivity in ES employees?
  4. How could perception, thinking, and behavioral characteristics influence the behavior of the ES employees?
  5. What alternative methods could Mr. Winthrope use to improve communication between the director and the employees of the ES department?

[Solved] Grand Theories Give Nursing

[Solved] Grand Theories Give Nursing

reply to this discussion 

 

Nursing knowledge development is a continuous process that has been ongoing since the emergence of the profession. Nursing grand theories are part of this process as they provide a framework for nurses to use to help guide their practice and research. Grand theories are comprehensive and comprehensive theories that provide an overall worldview of nursing and how it should be practiced (Roy, 2019). They are often used to provide a basis for research and to help guide the development of nursing practice.

Despite their significance, there is growing disagreement about whether great ideas still have any application to current practice and research. Some contend that big ideas are out-of-date and not relevant to contemporary nursing (Roy, 2019). They are seen as having limited scope and applicability, as they are often limited to a particular time or culture. As such, they do not reflect the changing needs of today’s patients and the changing nature of healthcare. Furthermore, some argue that grand theories are too abstract and do not apply to the complex realities of today’s nursing practice. Grand theories are often too broad to guide today’s practice and research. They often lack the specificity needed to address the individual needs of each patient and the complexities of modern healthcare. Additionally, they may not apply to various healthcare environments, such as rural, urban, and remote areas (Roy, 2021).

However, there is also a compelling argument for the continuous advancement and use of nursing great ideas. Grand theories give nursing practice and research an overall framework that enables nurses to critically and thoroughly consider their job. Furthermore, grand theories can provide a basis for the development of new approaches to practice and research, as well as a way to evaluate the effectiveness of existing practices (Roy, 2021). Grand theories also provide a way for nurses to reflect on their experiences and develop an understanding of the complex dynamics of nursing.

Ultimately, using grand theories in nursing today should be a matter of choice. While some argue that they have become obsolete, there is still value in their use. Grand theories provide a framework for nurses to think critically and holistically about their work and provide a basis for developing new approaches to practice and research. Grand theories are not a one-size-fits-all answer, and they shouldn’t be the only foundation for practice and research. This must be understood at the same time. Instead, they should be seen as part of a more comprehensive approach to nursing practice and research.

[Solved] 14 Vital Components —

[Solved] 14 Vital Components —

reply to this discussion

 

 Over the years the grand nursing theories have provided practical guidance to nurses and have helped to create the basis for making certain clinical decisions to help the patient and, in turn, provide quality care. One of the prominent figures in developing these theories was Virginia Henderson. She pioneered the nursing need theory, which centered around increasing patient independence to improve the quality of their care post-hospitalization. It consisted of 14 vital components—many of which are rooted in Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs—like eating, drinking, and breathing to an adequate standard. Her foremost accomplishment was coming up with the definition of nursing as “assistance in aiding individuals to develop independence in connection to execution of activities contributing to health or its recovery”; she wanted to demonstrate that with these 14 needs the individual can recover. However, some of the needs mentioned by Henderson only apply to individuals who are fully functional and not to those who require assistance, thus contradicting their main goal of being independent. However, the theory is still applied in specific circumstances in order to achieve better performance in nursing care. Thus, knowing and applying the grand theories will enable the development of models and frameworks that will help provide high-quality care that is patient-centered and prevent nursing from being regarded from a more generic perspective (Smith, 2019). 

        In the field of nursing,  the best practices and knowledge foundations are always evolving. Changes in research strategies, professional procedures, or nursing care may be required as new studies and experience deepen our understanding. When evaluating and using any information, procedure, substance, or experiment provided, practitioners and researchers should always rely on their own experience and knowledge. They must take into account both their own safety and the safety of others, particularly those of whom they have a duty of care, when employing such information or procedures. On the other hand, mid-range nursing theories are more focused and have more direct links to nursing practice than grand nursing theories, which have broader points of view. These nursing theories offer clear ideas and arguments that address nursing specialties.

        Despite the fact that time has passed and that, in many cases, the grand nursing theories are not applicable, they currently help to establish a better practice and establish a better patient-nurse relationship.

Ethics in Nursing

Ethics are an integral and critical aspect of nursing education and practice for diverse reasons. Notably, ethical practices help ensure that a nursing program complies with applicable laws, regulations, and accreditation standards, ensuring that students get a quality education for competent nursing practice (Taghadosi et al., 2021). On the other hand, ethics play a pivotal role in nursing practice as they provide a framework for making difficult decisions and resolving moral dilemmas that may arise in the healthcare setting (Haddad & Geiger, 2022). Adhering to ethical principles helps nurses act in their patient’s best interests and provide safe and appropriate care (McCradden et al., 2020). Furthermore, ethics are essential for maintaining the integrity of the nursing profession and promoting trust between nurses and patients. Therefore, unethical behaviors in nursing master’s programs and the nursing practice are discouraged and have diverse consequences.

Unethical Behaviors in a Nursing Master’s Program

One example of unethical behavior in a master’s nursing program could be the fabrication of research data. According to Kang & Hwang (2020), fabrication of research data refers to the act of making up or falsifying data in a research project. This behavior can take many forms, such as creating fake data sets, altering existing data, or misreporting results. Fabrication of research data is considered extremely serious, and it undermines the integrity of the research process and the credibility of the nursing program. Furthermore, this unethical behavior has various adverse consequences on students and the healthcare sector. Its repercussions on students include failure of the research project, expulsion from the nursing program, and damage to the student’s academic and professional reputation. In addition, if the fabricated research is published, it can harm the scientific community’s progress and adversely impact the provision of safe care.

Unethical Behaviors in the Nursing Practice

In the nursing practice, an example of unethical behavior could be discrimination against patients based on their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic. Discrimination in nursing practice can take many forms, such as providing poor-quality care, denying service, or making derogatory or harmful comments (Rafii et al., 2019). Notably, discrimination has adverse implications for patients and health providers. For healthcare providers, these consequences can include disciplinary action by the nursing board, loss of license to practice, and legal lawsuits. Besides, patients may file formal complaints, which can result in an investigation, a penalty, or even the revocation of the nurse’s license to practice. Furthermore, discrimination can harm the patient, as it can cause physical or emotional suffering or a barrier to access to necessary care (Williams et al., 2019). In addition, it can erode trust and confidence in healthcare providers, leading to a lack of trust in the health system and a mistrust of the healthcare providers.
