Select one of the following discussion prompts to address:
In the context of patient education, how can nurse practitioners effectively communicate the importance of recognizing the stages of infection and seeking prompt medical attention in the event of symptoms or potential exposure to infectious agents while also addressing common misconceptions or fears related to infectious disease?
In the context of cancer epidemiology and lifestyle choices, how can nurse practitioners effectively communicate the link between modifiable risk factors, such as tobacco use and poor nutrition, and the development of various types of cancer while also addressing potential cultural or social barriers to behavior change?
As healthcare systems worldwide continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, what lessons have you learned about the role of immune deficiencies in infectious disease susceptibility, and how has this knowledge informed your clinical practice and patient education related to primary and secondary immune deficiencies?
Provide an example of a patient with an infection you managed in your clinical practice. Describe if it was bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic, and how did collaboration with other healthcare professionals to diagnose and manage the underlying infection while also addressing the patient’s overall health needs?

Week 1Area of Interest in NP (Smoking Cessation)
Discussion
Purpose
Over the course of the next eight weeks, we will be examining concepts related to nursing research and the translation of evidence to practice. To help you better understand the process, you will be identifying a practice issue for nurse practitioners. You will develop a PICOT question associated with the issue, find evidence to support a change in practice, and present your recommendations for change to your peers. This week, we will work on helping you refine your area of interest so that you will be able to develop a concise question for next week’s assignment. You are encouraged to use the area of interest you chose for the project in NR500NP and/or NR501NP; however, you may choose a different area if you wish.
Select an issue in nurse practitioner (NP) practice that is of interest to you and in which you would like to see a practice change occur. Conduct a review of literature to see what is currently known about the topic. In 1-2 paragraphs, describe the scope and relevance of the issue and your recommended change. Provide reference support from at least two outside scholarly sources to support your ideas. Please pick something you can do as a NP in your practice that is patient focused. Your intervention needs to relate to a measurable patient health outcome. Please avoid anything that would require a policy or law change, such as full-practice authority. Burnout and satisfaction surveys also are not appropriate topics as they are not patient centered. 
Review this 4-minute video to gain a better understanding of the requirements of a PICOT question. The PICOT question is not a research question, but a quality improvement issue that requires a practice change. (See Below)
Hello. Today we’re gonna talk about pico questions and best practices in formulating these questions. There are five parts to a pico question. Patient intervention, comparison, outcome in time. The slides subsequently we will discuss each part of this question. The first ingredient for cooking up a pico question is population. Pick a broad topic, drill down, focus down so that then your population is very specific. Type two diabetic female patients age 30 to 40 who consume over 400 g of carbohydrates per day. A bunch more specific population then patients with diabetes intervention. What intervention do you think will make a difference? Is that supported by the scholarly literature? What is being done in clinical practice today? Are there better alternatives? You must use an intervention based on scholarly literature? Remember the definition of scholarly literature is a US based peer reviewed journal article geared for clinicians published in the past five years, or the latest clinical practice guideline. Comparison. So what is the standard of care currently? Patients without the intervention, patients without a condition, patients without risk factor. This part defines another population who will be used as a comparison against the group receiving the intervention. What is your desired outcome? The outcome should relate directly to the intervention and outcomes should be measurable. Time. This is a specific timeframe to demonstrate the outcome. In quality improvement efforts, the timeframe has to be realistic and manageable. Not over years, may not be even over months, but it could be. But it is usually a short timeframe to make an improvement effort. Many students ask what the differences between pico research and quality improvement questions. This chart will help you understand the difference. The pico question used here is in postoperative kidney transplant adults aged 65 to 75, how does a health coach compared with no health coaching affect hospital readmission rates within 90 days of discharge? This is a perfect pico question compared to the research question or QI question that also could be asked about this matter. Here’s an example. In real life, you’re a nurse practitioner working in a skilled nursing facility, the rate of false as unacceptable. And your care team has come together to discuss what should be done about this. Your pico question is, in elderly patients between age 65.75 residing in a sniff, how do fall prevention programs with risk assessment compared to fall prevention programs without risk assessment effect fall rates within 90 days after the intervention. So you can see how this question will guide how you view the literature on this topic. You will be looking for fall prevention with risk assessment in the scholarly literature to see what has worked in other places. What are the crucial ingredients in an outpatient fall prevention program? The literature holds the key, holds the answer to these questions. If you need further assistance, please contact your instructor directly. You can also contact the librarians at the Chamberlain library who can be accessed through many means, email, chat on real time. This material comes from Malbec and find out overhauled book evidence-based practice in nursing and health care, a guide to best practice, which is a great addition to your library.
Faculty may submit any collaborative discussion posting to Turnitin in order to verify originality.

Assessment
03 – Applying Ethical Principles
For this assessment, you
will develop a solution to a specific ethical dilemma faced by a health
care professional. Before
you complete the instructions detailed in the courseroom, first select
one of the ethical dilemmas
below to be the focus of your assessment.
After you have selected one
of the ethical dilemmas from below, return to the detailed
instructions in the
courseroom to complete your assessment.
Case Study: Confidentiality
and Mental Health
Dr. Laura Simmons, a
licensed clinical psychologist, has been treating Mr. Alex Turner, a 35-
year-old software engineer,
for symptoms of severe depression and anxiety over the past six
months. Their sessions have
been characterized by trust and open communication, with Alex
often sharing his deepest
fears and concerns.
During a particularly
intense session, Alex reveals to Dr. Simmons that he has been having
recurring thoughts of harming
a colleague due to a longstanding professional rivalry and recent
personal conflicts. He
describes detailed plans and expresses a genuine intent to act on these
thoughts.
Dr. Simmons is immediately
faced with an ethical dilemma. She values the principle of
confidentiality, which is
foundational to the therapeutic relationship. Alex has trusted her with his
innermost thoughts, and she
knows that breaking this trust could potentially harm their
therapeutic alliance.
However, she is also bound by the principles of beneficence and non-
maleficence. Beneficence
compels her to act in the best interest of her patient and those around
him, while non-maleficence
emphasizes the importance of “doing no harm.”
