week 4 discussion GPS1200

1. What? What is the objective? What is the concept being studied?

2. So What? So what do I need to know about this concept? What are the parts, the pieces, the steps, or the processes associated with this concept?

3. Now What? Now what are my clinical moves? How do I translate knowledge about this concept into nursing practice?

To prompt your “thinking like a nurse,” consider these questions:

· What assessments would you complete? What signs and symptoms would you expect to find? What specific patient population would this affect?

· What would tell you that your patient is improving (measurable data)?

· What nursing care (interventions) will you provide to help your patient alleviate/prevent complications? How will each of these actions help your patient (rationale)? What would happen if you did not intervene?

· How will you know that your patient is improving (evaluation)?
