Identification of Scenario & Proposal for Integration of Coursework

Identify the leadership scenario you have chosen for the assignment: Scenario #3: Patient Education & Services

Integration of Coursework

For this assignment, you are to integrate knowledge, content, and/or skills learned in your non-clinical nursing and general education courses. You must use two non-clinical nursing courses, with at least one being an upper-division course. You must also use two general education courses, with at least one being an upper division course. (Note, if any of the courses were not taken at Methodist College, you will need to provide a syllabus for the that course with this assignment.) You will use the knowledge, content, and/or skills from your chosen courses to help you make an argument for the benefits of a BSN for a nurse leaders and to help you devise and carry out a solution to the problem in the scenario.

1. Non-Clinical Nursing Course

Course number & title:N211: Standards of Nursing Practice

Course content to be used: I intend to use the nursing ethical principles of totality and integrity and the principle of beneficence in my scenario analysis. I will use these principles to justify to the charge nurse why it is essential to show compassion and consider J.B's needs and concerns when offering medication, education, and therapies. Also, I will use these principles when preparing my plan of action.

2. Non-Clinical Nursing Course

Course number & title: N431: Health Policy

Course content to be used: In this course, I learned key healthcare components such as organization and financing of patient care services. I also learned how reimbursements are structured. I plan to use this knowledge to identify health issues affecting J.B and advocate for appropriate healthcare policies to advance his needs. Also, I will strive to determine processes that can be influenced by advocacy groups, healthcare professionals, and governments to help J.B and patients with similar concerns. I will also use the knowledge acquired during this coursework to explore how J.B's socio-cultural practices, legal, political, and economic factors impact healthcare delivery, and practice. I will participate in political processes as well as grassroots legislative initiatives to influence healthcare policy that provides the needs of aged patients such as J.B. Most importantly; I will take into account the impacts of healthcare policies on various issues such as access, equity, social justice, as well as affordability in healthcare delivery when developing my plan of action.

3. General Education Course

Course number & title: HS 200: Introduction to Informatics for Healthcare Professionals

Course content to be used: In HS 200, I learned about lower-level informatics concerning computer applications and healthcare information systems. In particular, I learned about general computer information, healthcare specialty applications, and healthcare information systems. I plan to use my knowledge of healthcare informatics to enhance J.B's privacy and confidentiality while at the same time ensuring ethical use of electronic and digital channels of communication. Understanding healthcare informatics components and concepts will help me evaluate social, legal, and political factors affecting patient-centered care to J.B and old patients. Moreover, I will use the knowledge acquired during this course work for civil engagement, conduct inquiries and analyses, and engage J.B and patients from different cultural backgrounds. I can apply health informatics' evidence-based practices, especially in leadership and management, to develop my action plan.

4. General Education Course

Course number & title: PH 300: Epidemiology

Course content to be used: In PH 300, I acquired essential knowledge about the scope of practice and scientific methods involved in the study of epidemiology. Specifically, I learned how to apply epidemiologic methods to clinical sciences and use findings from investigations and analyses for policy generation. I plan to use this information to inquiry and analyze the source of J.B's feeling of loneliness and other concerns. I will assess various alternatives to solve J.B's problems through quantitative reasoning and deductive and inductive reasoning. In essence, I will use the knowledge acquired during this course to understand patterns and causations of J.B's disease. Moreover, I will assess social and behavioral epidemiology and unique applications.
