RUA: Preparation Activity

Purpose

In preparation for completing the RUA- Capstone Evidence-Based Practice Paper the student will track and analyze their individual performance on the integrated comprehensive assessments. The student will apply critical thinking skills to prioritize their identified areas of opportunity. After identifying the priority concept (topic) of opportunity, the student will identify strategies and resources that will promote NCLEX-RN success and transition into practice.

Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:

CO 4: Integrate critical thinking, clinical reasoning skills, best current evidence, clinical expertise, and patient/family preferences/values in the implementation of the nursing process. (PO 4)

CO 5: Explore the impact of professional standards, legislative issues, ethical principles, and values on professional nursing, using data to monitor outcomes and improve quality and safety. (POs 5 and 6)

Due date: Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.

Total points possible: 20 points

Preparing the assignment

Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with the course faculty member about any assignment questions.

1) Track performance on the comprehensive assessments by logging NCLEX-RN Client Need Category performance on the Individual Student ATI Assessment Trends: Longitudinal Performance tool (see table on page 2).

2) Based on individual performance on the comprehensive assessments, analyze the performance and prioritize the top concept (topic) of greatest opportunity.

3) Include the following criteria for the priority concept (topic): (The NCSBN NCLEX-RN Test Plan will support this process.)

a. Priority Concept (Topic)

· Identify the priority concept (topic) of opportunity based on the performance analysis.

· Provide a description of how the identified priority concept (topic) aligns with the NCLEX Client Need Category/Subcategory definition in the NCLEX-RN Test Plan.

· Identify a minimum of two learning strategies that will support development of the identified learning need.

· A learning strategy is a technique an individual can use to organize, retain, and apply knowledge and skills to accomplish outcomes more effectively and efficiently in their academic and professional journey.

· Identify a minimum of two resources to integrate into the NCLEX-RN Readiness plan that will support development of the identified learning need.

4) APA Style and Organization

a. Uses current APA format and is free of errors.

b. Submit at least three (3) scholarly, peer reviewed, primary sources from the last 5 years, excluding the textbook, that will be used in the week 6 RUA: Capstone Evidence-Based Practice Paper.

c. For writing assistance (APA, formatting, or grammar) visit the APA Citation and Writing page in the online Chamberlain library.

Basic Care & Comfort Basic Care and Comfort Providing comfort and assistance in the performance of activities of daily living

Apply the priority concept (topic) of greatest opportunity below:

Identified Priority Concept (Topic):

Learning Strategies:

Identify a minimum of two learning strategies that you plan to implement to address your learning need.

1) I will be utilizing the use of flash cards

2) Reading more on areas I miss during question

Learning Needs:

Identify the concept (topic) and provide a description of how this aligns with the NCLEX Client Need Category/Subcategory definition in the NCLEX-RN Test Plan.

Assist client to compensate for a physical or sensory impairment (e.g., assistive devices, positioning)

� Assess and manage client with an alteration in bowel and bladder elimination

� Perform irrigations (e.g., of bladder, ear, eye)

� Perform skin assessment and implement measures to maintain skin integrity

� Apply, maintain, or remove orthopedic devices

� Implement measures to promote circulation (e.g., active or passive range of motion, positioning and mobilization)

� Assess client for pain and intervene as appropriate

� Recognize complementary therapies and identify potential benefits and

contraindications (e.g., aromatherapy, acupressure, supplements)

� Provide non-pharmacological comfort measures

� Evaluate the client’s nutritional status and intervene as needed

� Provide client nutrition through tube feedings

.

Learning Resources:

Identify a minimum of two resources that you will integrate into your NCLEX-RN Readiness plan to assist you with improving the identified learning need.

1) Continue to do 75 practices question a day and paying attention to the rationale

2) Using the ATI comprehensive NCLEX RN live review ebook
