There is nothing more fundamental to nursing than the ability of nurses to care. Caring is the essence of nursing (Watson 1999, p. 33). This holistic, person-centered approach emphasizes cultural competence, which the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) defines as the ability to effectively work within the clients cultural context.

Nurses can use informatics to champion and support initiatives that reduce harm, keep patients safe, improve quality outcomes, and decrease the amount of time patients spend in a hospital. But can informatics be used to care for the sick?

Write a 525- to 700-word paper that demonstrates how you can integrate technology with caring for your patients. Include an explanation of Watsons theory of caring and how your use of technology incorporates cultural sensitivity. Use at least 3 specific examples from your own experience.

Support your paper with at least 3 peer-reviewed resources.

Format your paper and references according to APA guidelines.

Submit your assignment.

Assignment Prompt The purpose of Reflection-in-Action is to reflect upon what one has learned or how one has performed as compared with one’s expectations or goals. This assignment will provide an opportunity for students to share their experiences, thoughts, feelings and learning moments from this course. Self understanding through reflection on life experiences, feelings, etc., is a core concept in Dr. Jean Watsons Theory of Human Caring. The Reflection for this course must address at least three (3) of the following topics: Learning moments or activities from this course Thoughts on evidence-based practice Evidence supporting Jean Watsons Theory of Human Caring Ethics in research Protecting human subjects in quality improvement or evidence-based practice projects Understanding or comfort level with statistics in nursing research and other research reports Perception of MSN graduates role in nursing research Creating and sustaining an Evidence-Based nursing environment Asking compelling, clinical questions Lessons learned while conducting evidence-based literature review Expectations Due: Monday, 11:59 pm PT Length: A minimum of two and maximum of four pages (excluding the title and reference pages). Submissions not meeting the minimum and maximum page requirements will receive a grade of zero. Format: Formal paper, APA 7th ed format for body of paper and all citations

Assignment Prompt This weeks first assignment is STEP 3 Literature Review and Critical Appraisal. The student will complete the following items and submit a Word doc to the assignment link. Provide a title that conveys or describes the assignment. Literature Review Provide the key terms used to guide the search for the evidence and provide at least five (5) summaries of research studies to support the evidence. Critical Appraisal of Literature Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence, what is known from the evidence and any gaps in knowledge from the research evidence. References Cite a minimum of five scholarly references in APA 7th ed format. Expectations Due: Monday, 11:59 pm PT Format: Completed paper with references in APA 7th ed. format File name: Save the file with Student First Name_Last Name_Part

Upload your paper as an attachment (.doc / .docx) in the Assignment #2 Assignment Tab.

Do NOT copy/paste the text of your paper into the text box.

For this project, you will develop a 3-4 page paper (750 – 1000 words) to address the following:

Describe the various information and communication technology tools used in the care of patients, communities, and/or populations.

• Identify at least one of the information and communication technologies used in care settings for patients, communities, and/or populations.
• What are some concepts of electronic health, mobile health, and/or telehealth systems currently being used to enable patient care?
• Describe the appropriate use of multimedia applications in health care and give an example of the best practice use of social networking applications.

Be sure to clearly articulate the answers to the questions and provide a rationale.

This paper must be in APA format according to the 7th edition of the APA manual

• –
• And this paper will help you focus on issues that arise from applications that help people share, learn, interact, or market using technology. As with all scholarly papers, you’ll need to focus on a problem or issue, make a logical argument, and assert a position. You do not simply want to describe the technology you’re using, but you want to critically give your thoughts and opinions about aspects of the various information and communication technology tools used in the care of patients, community, and/or populations. Be sure to upload your paper as an attachment, a doc or a docx, an approved font, double space, headings to help guide your reader through the sections of the paper. And here’s a hint, why not use the rubric criteria to inform your headings? Remember, in APA papers, the heading introduction is never used for the introductory paragraph. And it’s always a good idea to state the purpose of the paper in the introductory paragraph. So you should actually write the purpose of this paper is to dot, dot, dot. The paper must use correct grammar and spelling. The paper must properly cite and reference at least two professional journal articles and two websites and use correct in-text citation and APA referencing format. This is required. A good rule of thumb on writing scholarly papers is to use at least one citation per paragraph to support your assertions. Review the assignment number two assignment details in the syllabus. Be sure to review the grading rubric for details.

Week 7 Assignment: Promoting and Implementation of EBP Paper

Submission Type:

Two to three page paper

Details:

1. Selecting EBP Model for your EBP Question
2. Select one of the common EBP models that you think it best fits your PICOT question and then explain/justify your selection considering the following:

• The clarity and conciseness of the models concepts and organization
• The diagrammatic representation of the model and the ability to assimilate the concepts and organizes the step of the desired EBP changes
• The comprehensiveness of the model from the beginning stages to implementation and evaluation of outcomes
• The easiness of the use when concepts are applied to direct EBP changes and practice issues in clinical settings
• The flexibility of the model to be applied to various populations of patients, EBP projects, initiatives, and programs
• The use and popularity of the model in the published literature

1. This assignment should be no more than 2-3 pages (not including the title or references pages).
2. Common EBP Models:
